Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

At night, Yu Jiang lay on the bed, silently waiting for the passage of time.

终于，秒针从12:59的第59归入0时，时间来到了1974年。

At the same time, a message from Lu Beiyuan was sent: "In the new year, I wish you a happy life, and may we all get what we want."

The little bit of sadness and confusion that Yu Jiang had just brewed up was instantly dissipated.

Yes, what is she worried about?

Her life now is good enough. There are family members who love me, friends with similar interests, and now Lu Beiyuan...

So what if this is all a dream? At least this is a dream that can comfort me for the rest of my life, and I should feel satisfied.

Thinking of Lu Beiyuan, Yu Jiang dialed the video call unconsciously.

Only when the other party picked up the video and called her name did Yu Jiang come back to his senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Beiyuan was lying on his bed, his eyes seeming to look into Yu Jiang's heart through the video.

Perhaps the moonlight tonight was too charming, or perhaps the behavior of the person opposite triggered Yu Jiang's melancholy. Yu Jiang revealed his inner thoughts to Lu Beiyuan for the first time.

"Lu Beiyuan, do you think this is all just a dream? After waking up from the dream, I will still be the same Yu Jiang who needs to struggle on the edge of life and death at any time?"

When Lu Beiyuan heard this, he felt extremely distressed for a moment. Yu Jiang didn't have to suffer these hardships at all, but something went wrong...

Fortunately, he had taken her away from that hell-like place.

"Don't worry, I promise you, we can always live here, you will never have to face those bloody storms, and I will always be with you..."

When Yu Jiang heard this, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared without a trace, "Thank you, Lu Beiyuan."

After he finished speaking, he added: "This time I mean it sincerely."

Yu Beiyuan smiled: "Don't worry, have a good sleep tonight, tomorrow will still be a day worth looking forward to."

Maybe Lu Beiyuan's words were too gentle, or maybe the tension in Yu Jiang's heart finally relaxed. Yu Jiang just continued the video call with Lu Beiyuan and gradually fell asleep.

It's great, I can sleep so soundly from now on.

Lu Beiyuan, who was opposite, stared at Yu Jiang's sleeping face and couldn't look away for a long time.

For a long time, Lu Beiyuan's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out: "I wish you a sweet dream, my girl."

When Yu Jiang got up in the morning, it was already bright. Through the window, she could see the heat coming from the kitchen, exuding its last trace of heat in the cold winter.

Yu Jiang put on his clothes and went to the kitchen in search of a heat source: "Good morning, grandma."

Grandma Yu, who was boiling water, turned her head, looked at her granddaughter who had just gotten up, and warned: "Go back to your room quickly and put on more clothes. Grandma will boil water for you. Wash your face in a while and come have breakfast."

"Where are my parents?"

"Your parents went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county early this morning. Our family is treating guests to hot pot today and we are not allowed to buy anything good."

Yu Jiang also laughed: "Isn't a hot pot good enough?"

Grandma Yu is also looking forward to hot pot: "Hey, do you need to say that? My granddaughter gave me the recipe, is there anything wrong with that?"

Yu Jiang saw Grandma Yu busy working in the kitchen, and thought that he would quickly clean up and help out: "Grandma, don't worry, I will come to the kitchen to help you after dinner."

Unexpectedly, Grandma Yu, who was smiling just a second ago, suddenly seemed like she was facing a formidable enemy: "No, no, please... your mother will be back soon! Wait for her to come back and help me, you girl finally took a vacation, and you Go and have a rest!"

Grandma Yu also wants to have a good meal at noon today!

If Yu Jiang really comes to help, whether he can have lunch is another matter!

Yu Jiang was not angry when he saw that his cooking skills were so disliked, and he was very self-aware and went to prepare other things.

Mother Yu came back not long after, and without even bothering to say hello to her daughter, Mother Yu went straight into the kitchen and stir-fried the bottom of the hot pot with Grandma Yu.

The pot Yu Jiang brought back was a mandarin duck pot that could accommodate two flavors. One part was directly added with the chicken soup made by Grandma Yu yesterday, and the other part was specially fried with a spicy pot bottom.

When everything was ready, the five members of the He family, Zhang Tong, and Lu Nanchi also came to the Yu family.

Mother He specially made dozens of dumplings and brought them to the Yu family. Zhang Tong and Lu Nanchi also brought several kilograms of food.

It has to be said that since the translation work of Zhang Tong and He Zhile has been on the right track, they have been able to earn dozens of dollars steadily in the past two months. Although the overall salary cannot be compared with that of the research institute, their translation content is worth 10 yuan a day. It can be done in half a day, and in the remaining half of the day they can go to the fields to earn some work points.

So now there is no one in the group of four who is doing poorly.

Oh, forgot! Except for He Zhijin, who is still being grabbed by his brothers and sisters to teach tutoring in Xiaozao, he should be the one who suffers the most.

As expected, several people were stunned when they saw the hot pot, even though Yu Jiang had already said yesterday that he would eat something called hot pot today. But it was one thing to hear about it, but it was another thing to actually see the soup boiling on the stove and smell the alluring aroma.

Including Yu Jiang, everyone sat down around the stove.

But what to say?

Under the eyes of everyone looking at you, Yu Jiang took the lead in picking up a piece of tripe, and while boiling it, he told everyone the method of eating hot pot he knew.

God knows that she is also a person who has never eaten hot pot. At most, she just has more theoretical experience learned from ancient books than them.

But at this moment, Yu's father and Yu's mother, the only ones who had ever eaten hot pot, didn't know what to do with the many ingredients that Yu Jiang brought back, so they simply asked Yu Jiang to teach everyone.

"This thing is called hairy tripe. When you eat it, you must not put it all in the pot and cook it all at once. You need to hold it with chopsticks, put it in the pot, scald it, take it out, scald it, take it out, and repeat it seven or eight times. You can eat it directly or dip it into your plate and eat it together."

While talking, Yu Jiang blanched a few slices, then put a large piece of tripe still dripping with hot oil into Father Yu's bowl, and then explained to Grandpa Yu, Grandma Yu and Mother Yu: "You all Knowing that my cooking skills are not very good, I don’t know if I will fall over this time, so I will let my dad taste it first, and if he can eat it, I will boil it for you."

Father Yu, who was so moved just now, could this damn girl cheat on her father like this?

Father Yu naturally knew the title of Yu Jiang's Kitchen Killer.

No matter what, he doesn’t dare to eat it…

But everyone at the table was staring at him!

In the end, Father Yu picked up the hairy belly and put it into his mouth under the pressure of everyone's attention...

Why! It was unexpectedly delicious. It was crunchy and very chewy. It was so good that he wanted another slice!

Everyone looked at Father Yu's expression. Okay, confirmed, this stuff is really delicious.

Then why are you still standing there? Let’s get hot together!

After that, everyone tried a lot of hot pot meals with ingredients they had never seen before, and without exception, they were all very delicious.

Even the dumplings made by He's mother were finally cooked in the chicken soup pot.

The fragrance floated past the walls of the Yu family and into the distance, making many people drool with envy of the Yu family's food situation!

Of course, among the people attracted by fragrance, there are always a few who are ignorant and shameless...
