1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Teacher Chen, this sleep is so comfortable... Eh? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The next morning, Fang Zhiyong, who was refreshed, was about to express his gratitude, but he saw Chen Tiezhu's eyes full of bloodshot.

"Did you sleep well? Tie the sandbag again, then wash your face and prepare for dinner." Chen Tiezhu replied casually.

"Uh... I'll wash it right away." Fang Zhiyong said hurriedly.

Teacher Chen's mood is a little bit off today.

Just came to the outer room and wanted to wash his face, just in time to see Han Xiuying coming out of the east room.

"Director Han, didn't you sleep well either?"

He was shocked. How come Director Han also had red bloodshot eyes like Teacher Chen?

Did they both turn the culture medium pile at night?

"I ate too much last night and didn't sleep well." Han Xiuying lied.

She thought that the massage was so comfortable that she would sleep well after returning to the room.

In fact, she also baked a big pancake on the kang all night.

"Uh..., wash your face quickly, we'll have dinner soon." Chen Tiezhu came out and said.

"Well, I'll wash it right away." Han Xiuying responded, a little flustered.

Fang Zhiyong blinked.

Although he was an honest man, he was also a person who had experienced it. The whole outer room was filled with an atmosphere called "awkward", and he could still feel it.

Slightly regretful.

Why did I fall asleep last night?

What happened?

"Um..., your arms are not sore, right?" Chen Tiezhu came over and made small talk.

"Well, no."

Han Xiuying responded randomly and walked into the house with the thermos.

In her heart, she also blamed herself. She didn't do anything shameful, so why should she feel guilty.

Although there was a little embarrassment this morning, after sitting at the dinner table, this embarrassment was put aside.

Especially Doudou, who looked at the greasy meat sauce with greed in his big eyes.

"Try it, the spicy dish that has been stewed overnight is really delicious." Chen Tiezhu greeted with a smile.

Doudou had never eaten this before, so he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a very ordinary pickled vegetable.

He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece, dipped it in the meat sauce, and took a big bite.

"Cough cough cough..."

This bite really choked Doudou and tears came down.

"Hahaha, fun, isn't it?" Chen Tiezhu laughed unkindly.

"Dad, dad, why is it blowing air into my nose?" Doudou asked pitifully.

"That's why it's called spicy food. You have to eat it slowly, and it's better to chew with your mouth closed." After Chen Tiezhu finished speaking, he also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Although he was mentally prepared, the spicy smell was really overbearing, rushing into his nose.

But as a man, he must hold on and not be timid.

Then he ate with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Fang Zhiyong said in a puzzled manner, and then he also tried a piece.

"Cough cough cough..."

He choked more than Doudou, the smell was really overbearing.

"Is this really that spicy?" Han Xiuying asked curiously.

"It's not as spicy as chili peppers, but it has a smell. Try it, take a small bite." Chen Tiezhu encouraged.

"Sister Yingzi, it's delicious."

Doudou on the side also spoke up, and then took a small bite of the spicy vegetable.

Although it was still a little choking, it was choking.

Seeing that Doudou could eat bravely, Han Xiuying also came and bit half of it.

Good guy, this is really choking, there is no time to adapt.

Directly from the mouth, the air went into the nose, and then the eyes became sore.

"Hehe, I slowly got used to it. This is really appetizing, the more I eat, the more delicious it is." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Han Xiuying couldn't refute Chen Tiezhu's words, because after the choking feeling passed, she really felt very comfortable.

Naturally, she ate the remaining half.

"Teacher Chen, I have eaten it before. Your spicy dish is too overbearing." Fang Zhiyong said.

"Who knows, maybe the mustard cabbage is better. This is the first time I have eaten such a spicy taste." Chen Tiezhu said.

He guessed that the space water had some special effect.

But this is a very good effect. It is really enjoyable to eat. It is so transparent.

"Doudou, you see that Dad is amazing. He can eat a big piece in one bite."

Chen Tiezhu said, picked up a big piece and put it directly into his mouth.

"Dad is really awesome."

Seeing him eating like this,Doudou was envious.

I can't do it myself, so I can only eat small bites, otherwise the gas will go into my eyes.

"Teacher Chen, if someone has a cold, can they sweat directly after eating a spicy meal?" Fang Zhiyong said with emotion.

"That's definitely no problem. This stuff works faster than ginger soup. You still have to drink ginger soup for a while before it works directly." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"Continue practicing at home today. You don't have much vacation time left. Yingzi and I have to go to the provincial capital later. I saw that the culture medium was almost fermented this morning."

"Can it really be that fast? You have to make sure it's not unqualified, otherwise they won't vaccinate us." Han Xiuying reminded.

"Don't worry, with our hard work, these culture media will definitely be fine." Chen Tiezhu said confidently.

"What does this prove? It means that as long as we are willing to work hard and intervene, many things can be changed."

"When we get to the provincial capital, I will smear these culture media on the face of the lazy man. Let him see whether our culture media can be made. He is so arrogant."

"Just be quiet. You can do whatever you want after the mushrooms are grown. Now just stay here honestly." Han Xiuying said.

"Well, listen to the leader." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Han Xiuying was too lazy to pay attention to him and still concentrated on eating spicy dishes.

This thing seems to have a magical power. Although it is very painful to eat, you will like it more and more.

Not to mention her, even Doudou is very tenacious and eats one bite after another.

This little guy usually loves meat, but now he likes this spicy dish very much.

The ordinary spicy dish really makes them taste good.

"Well..., let's cook some spicy dishes when we go to the provincial capital. I'll bring some home to try."

When they were cleaning up the dishes, Han Xiuying whispered.

"It must be fine. Is this delicious?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

Han Xiuying ignored him, fearing that he would show off.

This was in line with what Chen Tiezhu said, what is a delicacy?

What you are proud of is a delicacy.

Chen Tiezhu was very happy, but he was more concerned about today's quenching and tempering, which was the serious business.
