Chapter 301 - 0301: Martyr’s Orphan 1_1
Lu Jiang received the letter the day before the winter solstice.
Without a bowl of dumplings on the winter solstice, no one cares if you lose your ears to frostbite.
The army’s canteen got half a pig, and they started bustling early in the morning, making a meal of dumplings filled with pork and cabbage. At home, Feng Qingxue and her family also wrapped several trays of white flour dumplings.
Lu Tianjun and Guan Yu were both coughing a bit; therefore, she didn’t cook with pork stuffing, instead switching to mutton.
Mutton and Chinese cabbage make the perfect match.
Two parts mutton fat, three parts meat, seven parts cabbage and spring onion.
The mutton was acquired through greasing Zhang Yuejin’s palms, using meat tickets to purchase a piece of fattened sheep meat. While mincing the meat for stuffing, she secretly added a piece of mutton with half fat and half lean from her space, also mixing in a bit of flour from the same space into the white flour. Anyhow, no one else could tell.
Ever since Zhang Yuejin married Wang Jiao, it became much more convenient for Feng Qingxue to shop. She had tickets, both sent by Huo Beiting and sent with Lu Jiang’s letters. When Zhang Yuejin slaughtered pigs or sheep, she would tell him what kind of meat she wanted and he would always set it aside for her in advance. If she wanted other subsidiary food products, Zhang Yuejin would also help her bring them back to the Wanglou Brigade.
