After breakfast, Feng Qingxue helped him sort out the letter paper and expressed his admiration, with such a wide range of contacts, no wonder he made such an arrangement.

"On what grounds do you trade supplies with them?" She asked suddenly.

Whatever it is, there has to be a good reason, right?

Lu Jiang stretched, "Isn't there a ready-made reason in front of you?" What more reasons are needed? ”

Feng Qingxue was stunned for a moment, "Ready-made?" ”

Why didn't she see it?

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs supplemental nutrition, and the family is short of supplies, so I can only ask them for help."

After Lu Jiang finished writing a letter to the last comrade-in-arms he could contact, he put down the pen, folded the letter paper, turned sideways and touched the back of Feng Qingxue's hand, the slippery, greasy, soft and tender touch made him love it, and he couldn't help touching it again and again.

Feng Qingxue squinted at him and slapped his hand away.

"Asking for help and trading are two different things, okay? Ah Jiang, isn't your confusion over last night? Asking for help is begging them to get us some supplies, but the transaction is bartering. Let's talk about trading with them and borrowing them to explain the source of space materials, but we can't take advantage of them, and try to help them. You write to ask for help, so what other reason do we have to send them something? I don't take advantage of such a bargain, you said it yourself, no one's life is easy. ”

"Oh, my daughter-in-law is so smart!"

Listening to Lu Jiang's praise, Feng Qingxue's slanted eyes became even more slanted, "Say it quickly!" ”

"Actually, it's very simple, I just said that the grain in our hometown is quite abundant, and I can save a part of the military food stamps every month, so get some food and exchange them for local specialties to supplement your nutrition. To put it bluntly, although everyone covets non-staple food, the most scarce thing is grain, and it is most suitable to trade special products with them. ”

At the same time, he was afraid that the exchange of non-staple food and other materials would arouse their suspicion.

Food is different, those who need fine grain send a few catties of fine grain, and those who need coarse grain send more coarse grain, which can not only allow them to feed themselves or their families, but also calmly use space materials on the side of the wind and snow, without finding other excuses.

Lu Jiang was very careful, and the comrades-in-arms he contacted knew each of them, but they didn't know each other.

As long as they are familiar with each other, Lu Jiang will not contact them, for fear that they will communicate with each other.

Feng Qingxue thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's right, we don't care what they can send, all we need is the excuse for them to send things, and it's enough to trade once or twice a month." ”

"Not bad! Rest in the house, I'll go cook the mutton. ”

"I'm fine and not tired, what are you resting for? I'm with you. ”

The mutton began to be soaked in well water from last night, and the water was changed three or four times in the middle, and now the blood is gone, after washing, peel off a layer of mutton fat from the white flowers above, and cut the rest into large pieces, throw the bones and meat into the cauldron, pour water, skim off the foam on the top after boiling, and then put in ginger slices and pepper star anise, etc., turn to a simmer and simmer.

The wind and snow cut the pork fat with dry water into small pieces, boiled the oil in a small pot, and finally fished out the golden and slightly charred oil residue, scooped the oil into the oil tank, and filled two and a half cans.

Feng Qingyun and Guan Yu, who were playing in the yard, smelled the fragrance, "Auntie, haven't you cooked before noon?" ”

"Gluttonous cat with a sharp nose!" Feng Qingxue picked up chopsticks and carried a few pieces of hot oil residue, dipped some sugar and fed them to them, "I ate mutton at noon, and it's boiling now, don't worry!" ”

"Got it!" They're looking forward to lunch!
