Chapter 695: Biting a mouthful of meat
Xu Fengyue had an expression of being educated.
The problem between her and Zheng Shuchen now is that she is too proactive, while Zheng Shuchen seems a little slow to warm up.
But Xu Fengyue was very anxious.
Lu Cheng gently pulled Shen Shuang's hand under the table and said, "Wife, do you want to order some meat dishes?"
Xu Fengyue, who was on the other side of Shen Shuang, immediately heard and said, "Ercheng, ordering meat dishes is too expensive, don't order them."
Shen Shuang smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, it's up to you to decide. I'll listen to you."
Lu Cheng said with a smile on his face: "Okay, help me serve two meat dishes, one is pork belly fried with soy sauce, and the other is lean pork fried with chili!"
The man from the state-owned restaurant said, "Okay, wait!"
After lunch, everyone dispersed with satisfaction.
Lu Cheng and Shen Shuang returned home together and slept for the whole afternoon.
In the evening, Lu Cheng and Shen Shuang cooked a meal, four kinds of tea and one soup, and the family sat around the table to eat together in a cheerful atmosphere.
Half a month later
The geological team spent a month exploring the minerals, and then provincial officials issued a document to start preparing to mine the coal. This is a long-term mining project, and many workers will need to be hired.
This matter is also progressing slowly, and Lu Cheng is also in charge of recruiting workers...!
The workers were all recruited from Zhang County. They were all strong and skilled. Once they entered the deep mountains, they would only come out once every two weeks.
The rest of the time was spent digging coal.
Soon, the first group of people were arranged to go deep into the mountains. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. On the first day, someone slipped and fell into a ditch. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
Just a little scratch.
Lu Cheng pulled the person up.
Then the coal mining began. After everything was arranged properly, the people from the security department and Sun Sanwen were left here to be the deputy captain of the security team.
Lu Cheng followed the mountain road and went in to hunt.
So, we have to spend the next half month deep in the mountains, and all our food, drink, accommodation and defecation needs are taken care of nearby.
Several people from the kitchen started to wash vegetables by the stream. They brought a lot of dried radishes and sauerkraut, which were usually not very tasty when eaten.
Because the government had approved money and sent us food, everything we brought in was covered with waterproof cloth.
The bottom is padded on a high wooden frame and covered with a layer of waterproof cloth.
Lu Chengdu was quite satisfied at this time.
A day passed and no one caused any trouble.
It is said that if work starts off smoothly and as expected, then everything will go well afterwards.
Although it is a little superstitious, it does have some psychological implications.
Lu Cheng took a look and assigned some tasks to the people in the security department, asking them to cut down trees in batches and build a few small tree houses so that sick people could go in and rest.
Some women can go in and rest.
Considering that these people have to work here for half a month before they can go home, it is very likely that some of them will have headaches, fevers or colds.
So Lu Cheng went hunting along the mountain and picked some medicinal herbs to bring back and dry for later use.
Of course, most of the men live outdoors.
However, there is a thatched shed above our heads to protect us from the rain, and sachets of incense are hung all around to prevent snakes and insects.
At this time, Lu Cheng was staring at a familiar little body.
The two-headed cobra king looked at him aggrievedly, and its little snake head spit out its tongue, but nodded gently to Lu Cheng, then it retracted its head and gently wrapped around Lu Cheng's hand.
While we were communicating with each other, we realized that the two-headed cobra king had shed its snake skin, so it was not as big as before.
Lu Cheng said angrily: "Come on up to my shoulders, I see a rabbit over there!"
The two-headed cobra immediately revealed its intention, which was to bite the rabbit to death, and it clenched its mouth.
Lu Cheng said, "No! I have a gun! Can it be faster than me? And your bite is poisonous! How can you still eat it?"
The two-headed cobra king stuck out his tongue with a look of grievance on his face.
Then Lu Cheng quickly caught up with the rabbit and took aim!
"boom!"
Suddenly, a rabbit's head was smashed.
Lu Cheng went over and picked it up, curled his lips slightly, and then went to hunt a few wild fat rabbits.
It’s spring now, and wild rabbits are coming out everywhere to eat weeds, revealing their cute little rabbit heads from time to time.
Although Lu Cheng's shooting skills were very accurate, he still didn't kill too many. He only managed to kill six wild rabbits in total. He took them back and handed them to several women in the kitchen, asking them to deal with them.
When Sun Sanwen saw there were so many rabbits, he immediately said, "Leave the rabbit skinning to me, I'll take care of it!"
Lu Cheng said: "Okay, I'll go over there to pick some herbs!"
Because the security department had sent people to carefully investigate the area around this place, no one from Geng Jiushan was found around.
So, in order to suit everyone's habit, rabbit meat is stewed into rabbit meat soup and eaten with dry biscuits, and wild vegetables are mixed together to make the food nutritionally balanced. Coal mining is a big job and also the most tiring job. If you don't eat well, you won't have the strength to do heavy work.
The news that Lu Cheng hunted six wild rabbits quickly spread to the ears of the workers working in the coal mining area.
Everyone was digging enthusiastically with the clanging sounds.
Soon it was time for a break, and everyone went to the dug toilet to relieve themselves, and then returned to the outside of the coal mining area to drink some water and rest for a few minutes.
Everyone looked at the six big fat rabbits that Sun Sanwen was carrying with envy. They were cleanly prepared. Another sister-in-law working in the kitchen was holding a basin of prepared rabbit offal. Sun Sanwen did not waste any of it, as there was a small stream below, so it was very convenient to prepare the rabbit offal.
After returning, the rabbit meat was handed to a male chef in the kitchen, who was asked to chop it into pieces and then take care of the subsequent cooking and seasoning.
The workers went back to work digging coal, while Lu Cheng picked a lot of herbs here and took them to the stream. He asked a few women to help wash them, and then dried them on the rocks by the stream and collected them later.
Soon it was noon and the workers lined up in an orderly manner and took their own bowls to get their meals.
It is usually a bowl, the kind that comes in an iron lunch box with a lid.
All the workers craned their necks to look.
Because the person in front had beaten several pieces of rabbit meat and added a large spoonful of broth, and there were also several pieces of rabbit offal floating on top, and there was a wild vegetable pancake, which was very thick and big!
At this time, a worker said: "Look, his bowl is meat soup!"
"You just found out about this? I smelled the aroma of rabbit soup this morning!"
"Yes, me too!"
"Hey, let me tell you, I saw Deputy Captain Sun carrying six wild rabbits this morning. They were all skinned and very big and fat!"
"Yes, yes, I saw it too!"
"Tsk tsk, were these all caused by Section Chief Lu?"
"Oh, I want to go hunting!"
"Hahaha! Yes!"
"Yeah! I want to, too, but the chances of us seeing a rabbit are slim!"
"Oh, don't mention it. I don't see how good I am at shooting. I'm sure I won't be able to hit him!"
"But now that we work in this coal mine, we also have meat to eat. The food is very good!"
"That's right, there are vegetable cakes to eat and rabbit soup to drink, delicious!"
As several workers talked, they took a big bite of the meat, their mouths full of oil.
Sun Sanwen helped to prepare Lu Cheng's meal. "Chief, your meal is ready. Come and eat!"
Lu Cheng smiled slightly.
