1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 53: Asking for the Recipe
After dinner, Qin Haonan cleaned up the dishes, took a rest, and returned to the army. Gu Qingwu continued to knit sweaters at home. Since she had nothing to do anyway, of course, she also began to study medical skills seriously. She thought that it would be good not to go to the hospital and master more skills, so that if something happened, she would not have to work hard and get into an accident. She didn't know how much she would regret it.

While knitting a sweater, Gu Qingwu used her spiritual sense to look through medical books in the space. This ability to do two things at once is not something that ordinary people can do.

Even if someone saw her knitting a sweater with her eyes not on it, they would probably think she was daydreaming and would not think about anything else. This is what she wanted.

As for why she didn't take out the medical book to read, that's a joke. There were so many Shu Kang eyes staring at her in this family compound. If she dared to take out the medical book, who knows how many people would report her. She was not that stupid.

At around two or three in the afternoon, when Gu Qingwu was knitting a sweater, there was a knock on the door of her house. Gu Qingwu withdrew her consciousness and looked in the direction of the door.

The door of her house was not closed, and Gu Qingwu saw Qin Haonan standing behind a middle-aged man at a glance. It was the middle-aged man who knocked on the door.

"come in."

Gu Qingwu felt that this man should be the quartermaster of the logistics department. She stood up and invited the man into the house.

"Go in first, come in and have some tea."

After saying that, Gu Qingwu packed up her sweaters and yarn and led her people into the house.

After entering the house, Gu Qingwu began to pour water for the middle-aged man. As for tea leaves, sorry, they didn't have that at home. She did find a few tea trees on the mountain, but it was impossible to pick tea and process it at this season, right? So, she didn't move. She planned to wait until next year.

"You drink water."

Gu Qingwu brought a glass of water and placed it in front of the man. She put some white sugar in the water. As for why there was no brown sugar, Gu Qingwu said that she didn't have it at home.

"Xiao Qin, your wife is so enthusiastic that I feel a little embarrassed."

The quartermaster looked at Qin Haonan jokingly and said, "This kid has never taken his eyes off his wife since he came in." He couldn't help but make a few jokes.

"quartermaster?"

Qin Haonan shouted helplessly, and the quartermaster immediately showed a look of understanding.

"Xiao Gu, I'm here to discuss something with you. Please sit down and let's talk slowly."

The quartermaster actually felt a little embarrassed. He came to the man's house in person to ask for the prescription, and he didn't know whether the prescription was handed down from ancestors or something else. But no matter what it was, they couldn't take the prescription for free. But he hadn't figured out how to give the reward yet.

At first, he thought about arranging a job for Gu Qingwu, but along the way, after he revealed his idea to Qin Haonan, he was rejected by this guy. He didn't know why this guy refused, but he knew that if this guy refused, Gu Qingwu would probably not agree.

"Okay, leader, you say."

Gu Qingwu sat down and looked at the quartermaster. The quartermaster smiled when he saw Gu Qingwu's natural posture.

He likes people who are open and honest and do things without any hesitation. He doesn't like to argue with others.

"As for me, I heard that you have a recipe for braised pork buns. I want the recipe. After all, we soldiers also need nutrition. We may not eat pork often, but offal, if processed well, is also meat and can supplement nutrition. I was thinking, can I get the recipe from you and use it in the cafeteria?"

When the quartermaster said this, his eyes were always on Gu Qingwu. He wanted to read what Gu Qingwu meant from her face.

"Chief Steward, I have no objection to this matter. I can donate the recipe for free."

Gu Qingwu spoke without thinking. The quartermaster looked at Gu Qingwu in surprise, and Gu Qingwu nodded again.

The quartermaster set his sights on Qin Haonan. "Quartermaster, my wife is the head of our family. Besides, the recipe is hers. She can do whatever she wants with it."

Qin Haonan had no objection at all. He was not trying to fool people in front of the quartermaster. He really felt that Gu Qingwu should make the decision on her own about this matter.

It’s not a big deal in itself.

"Don't you need to discuss this?"

The quartermaster looked at the couple with amusement, as if they were not at all surprised by his arrival. He could guess this a little, after all, he was the one who found Sun Jianshe first. But the two of them didn't seem to be reluctant to leave, which made him curious.

"For things like marinade, there are general recipes for general ones and more detailed recipes for more detailed ones."

Gu Qingwu said with a smile that what she took out was a general prescription. This kind of prescription was common and there was no need to worry at all. If she really wanted to do business in the future, she would have better prescriptions.

"Oh?"

When the quartermaster heard what Gu Qingwu said, he immediately became interested. Could it be that this person had a better recipe?
"Chief Steward, you should also know that some recipes are common and some are secret recipes. The one I brought out is the common one. It's not that this one is bad. It's suitable for anything. But for more delicate ones, you need to adjust the recipe. I won't bring out this kind of recipe."

Gu Qingwu also expressed her meaning, and her meaning was very clear, that is, the recipe I gave out is not important, what is more important is that I will not give it out, it is a secret recipe.

The quartermaster immediately understood what Gu Qingwu meant.

"I can't take the recipe for nothing. After all, it's not just for us. I guess more troops will use it."

The quartermaster thought about it and decided to give Gu Qingwu some benefits, even if it was just some money.

"Do you want to work in our cafeteria?"

It's at least twenty yuan a month, which is better than paying directly.

"Chief Steward, forget about the work. If I go there, the family compound will explode."

Gu Qingwu spread her hands and said, the quartermaster immediately understood what Gu Qingwu meant, that she didn't want to go.

"You too, if you can't do anything, just give me a certificate, a teacup, a washbasin or something. As for the rest, I don't want anything else."

Gu Qingwu felt that these things were actually pretty good. She didn't want any benefits. The higher-ups would always credit Qin Haonan with the credit, and then, wouldn't it be their family that would benefit?

"Row."

The Chief Steward has been the Chief Steward for so many years, how could he not understand what Gu Qingwu meant.

"You are blessed, kid."

The quartermaster patted Qin Haonan enviously. Qin Haonan smiled but said nothing. What could he say? Whatever he said would make him seem like he was showing off. Even if he wanted to show off, he wouldn't do it too obviously.

What does the quartermaster do? He has great insight. Seeing Qin Haonan's suppressed smile, the quartermaster rolled his eyes. He realized that the young couple was doing it on purpose to show off their good relationship in front of him. However, it is good that the couple has a good relationship. This way, he doesn't have to worry about Qin Haonan being distracted when he is on a mission, nor does he have to worry about Gu Qingwu being dissatisfied with Qin Haonan and making trouble with him.
