Zhu Qiaochuan became a young woman on the border and was assigned to the northwest of the motherland, where she became a cook in a living area in the oil field area.
The so-called living spots are just a few rows of nests on the Gobi Desert. The canteen where she works is a temporary kitchen with air leakage from all sides. The conditions used to be difficult. The daily meals were either boiled noodles or boiled potatoes. During the winter when vegetables were cut off, there was not a single green sliver for several days in a row.
Others looked worried at the endless Gobi desert, but Zhu Qiao felt that this place was not as deserted as they said.
She grew up here in her previous life, and traveled with her family between pastoral areas and the desert since she was a child. After passing through, she dared to go where others didn't dare to go. Others saw that there was no vegetation, but she was able to bring back a bagful of things that could be used in the pot from the ditches and ridges: wild vegetables in the floodplain, mushrooms in the sand, fungus on the dead trees after the rain, wild fruits that were ripe in the autumn...
Zhu Qiao thought to herself: It's a shame if you don't understand this place even though you've come here.
So, when the transportation team arrives to deliver supplies, Zhu Qiao will change his ways to improve the food - today he mixes ground vegetables with wild eggs and makes a pot of hot steamed buns; tomorrow he uses shallots and green onions to cook a pot of delicious wild mushroom soup and rice; the day after tomorrow, he stews carrots, onions and raisins into oily pilaf; and two days later, the dinner table is replaced by noodles with chamagu and fungus stir-fried as toppings.
Slowly, the thing that people in the living area worry about most every day becomes: What delicious food will be eaten in the small kitchen today?
Later, Life Point transferred a young work captain, Shao Zheng.
He often runs outside. He is tall and broad-shouldered, with a cold face and few words.
It was the first time he came to the small kitchen to eat, and everyone else praised the delicious food. He didn't say a word, he just ate the full bowl of rice and looked at Zhu Qiao one more time before leaving.
From then on, there would always be more game in the small kitchen for no apparent reason.
Zhu Qiao asked around but no one recognized her. She didn't believe in evil, so she chose a night to hide in the small kitchen and keep watch.
Sure enough, late at night, the door curtain moved, and Shao Zheng came in carrying two cleaned hares. As soon as he bent down and put them down, he heard someone behind the stove ask: "Captain Shao, what are you doing?"
Shao Zheng paused and turned around.
The moonlight shone in from outside the door, and his gaze happened to fall into Zhu Qiao's shining eyes.
He looked at her for a while and then said: "Here are the rabbits I picked up on the road for you."
