Chapter 121: Asking for Recipes ( 1 )

For today’s menu, Yao Zhi made spicy steamed tofu and mushrooms, orange chicken, fish-fragrant eggplant, and egg drop soup.

Since she still had braised innards left in her System Storage, she took out a jar weighing around 1 kilogram. She divided the braised innards into 2 jars for her husband and the General.

She steamed mixed rice with a ratio of 6 cups of millet and 3 cups of rice. The total cooked rice should be around 3.8 kg, which was more than enough for her husband’s and the General’s 2 meals.

When she finished cooking, it was only 10 o’clock in the morning. She divided the food into 2 small portions and 1 large portion.

1 small portion was for her and her husband’s lunch, and another portion was for her husband’s dinner. As for the large portion, it was the General’s lunch and dinner.

After she was done, she went to her room and took out a fountain pen and some paper she bought from the town. She wrote down several recipes that used cucumber, eggplant, and tomato as the ingredients.

Since the seasoning in this era was limited, she only included easy home dishes. When she was done, she folded the papers and put them into her System Storage.

Yao Zhi checked the time and went to wipe her body with a wet towel to freshen up. Then, she filled a waterskin with boiled water and added a drop of spiritual spring water.

She then went to prepare the donkey cart, took out the vegetables from her System Storage, and wore her bamboo hat. After she locked the door, she drove the donkey cart to the military barracks.

When she arrived at the military barracks today, she saw not only her husband but also a young man in his early twenties.

While she was parking the donkey cart, Fu Chen’an walked over in large strides, followed by the Deputy General.

Seeing them coming, Yao Zhi smiled and greeted them, ”Husband.”

”Wife, this is Deputy General Wu. He is here to pick up the General’s meal,” Fu Chen’an said.

”Greetings, Deputy General Wu,” Yao Zhi greeted him with a smile.

Wu Zhuying nodded at her but said nothing. Before he was even aware of the differences between men and women, he had been sent to the army to train by his grandfather.

Growing up surrounded by rough men, he always felt uncomfortable around women. Therefore, whenever he saw a woman, he would keep a distance of at least 10 steps away. Not to mention, this was his subordinate’s wife.

Seeing how aloof the Deputy General was, Yao Zhi didn’t try to butter him up.

She pointed at a medium-sized bamboo basket and said, ”Husband, that’s the food for the General. I prepared enough portions for lunch and dinner. The General only needs to heat them up later.”

Fu Chen’an took the bamboo basket and handed it to Wu Zhuying. After taking the bamboo basket, he didn’t linger and returned to report. The General was still waiting for his lunch.

When they were alone, Fu Chen’an looked at the vegetables and said nothing. His wife was working so hard for their future. As her husband, he also needed to work harder. One day, he would get a title for her and let her enjoy a life of wealth and honor.

Not knowing her husband’s thoughts, Yao Zhi opened the food box and said, ”Husband, I prepared another portion for you. You can heat it up for dinner later.”

”Okay.”

While the 2 of them were enjoying their lunch, Lu Qianxuan was also having his lunch in the General’s tent.

When the food was served, he was no longer surprised by the generous portions. He thought that he would have to eat steamed buns again today. Unexpectedly, today’s staple was millet mixed with rice.

He was curious about the taste and took a bite. The mixed rice was still soft and fluffy, with a texture similar to steamed white rice. However, the taste had a hint of nuttiness and sweetness.

Lu Qianxuan was surprised that mixing coarse grains and rice could result in such delicious food. After tasting the staple, he looked at the red-colored dishes. He only recognized the mushrooms and had never seen the other ingredients.

He picked up the white block, thinking that it was some kind of bun. Because of this, he didn’t control his strength. The moment his chopsticks clipped the tofu, it split in half.

Sitting across from him, Wu Zhuying was also surprised. He never thought that this thing was so soft.

Both of them wondered what kind of food this white block was and took a bite. As soon as they ate it, they felt a painful burning sensation in their mouths.

”Hiss! What is this?” Lu Qianxuan exclaimed while fanning his mouth.

Wu Zhuying was calmer and only frowned. However, the sweat forming on his forehead and the flush on his face and neck showed that he was also in pain.

”I don’t know,” he replied hoarsely.

After a moment, the burning pain lessened, and they were finally able to appreciate the taste.

”Although it was painful, it’s indeed delicious and improved my appetite,” Lu Qianxuan suddenly said.

Standing beside them, Cook Li said, ”General, I think this should be Squad Leader Fu’s wife’s secret recipe.”

”Have a try,” Lu Qianxuan said generously.

Cook Li had been salivating since he took out the dishes from the bamboo basket. Finally, he was able to have a taste. He picked up a piece of tofu and tried it.

After a while, he said, ”General, this thing should be made from soybeans. The nutty taste of the soybeans was preserved well. What’s more, the texture was smooth and soft. It’s very delicious.”

Hearing this, Lu Qianxuan asked, ”Can you make it? Soybeans are not as expensive as meat. If we can provide this to the soldiers, we can improve their meals.”

Cook Li cupped his fists and bowed. ”General, this subordinate is ashamed. Although I know that this thing is made from soybeans, without the recipe, it’s impossible for me to recreate it.”
