Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 25: Fishing for Noodles



The group of people got off the ground, and Li Qiuyan smiled when he saw the reserved looks of the girls. "My mother is not at home. I am the chef today. What should we have for lunch?" Of course no one would suggest anything.

Wang Congcong said with a smile: "My aunt told you, right?" Li Qiuyan deliberately wrinkled his nose: "Your aunt told you, but I don't want to listen to her." Wang Congcong glanced at Li Qiuyan with a smile.She was very smart, so she could tell that Xia Zhi was a little uneasy.

Wang Congcong pulled the timid Dongxue over and said, "What's your name?" "My, my name is Dongxue." Perhaps because he rarely saw people, Dongxue was a bit timid. "What a nice name. You can call me Sister Congcong." "Sister Congcong." Dongxue was very well-behaved.They were all young girls, and after a while everyone started talking and laughing.

Seeing that Xia Zhi became more comfortable, Li Qiuyan said, "My mother is a little late when she comes back, let's start making noodles first." Qiuhu is quite fierce, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to eat it in the field at noon. Li Qiuyan thought about it and decided to make noodles.

Make some noodles with fried meat sauce and add garlic, as well as the braised pork that you specially left aside. This way it tastes delicious and is quick to eat.Wang Congcong was the oldest and relatively stronger, so Li Qiuyan arranged for her to meet.It’s still stick noodles mixed with white flour.

She took out the pork that Wang bought specially yesterday. Dongxue helped wash it, and Xia Zhi cut it into pieces under Qiu Yan's arrangement.Li Qiuyan arranged for Dongxue to peel garlic and wash cucumbers. She soaked some mushrooms herself, washed onions and ginger, and took out the fungus she picked in advance and washed them.

Several people divided the work and cooperated, and soon the preparations were completed.

While the mixed noodles were lying awake, Li Qiuyan began to stir-fry the braised noodles.

Pour the fat into the hot oil and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the green onion and ginger, stir-fry evenly and add the chopped mushrooms, then add two tablespoons of miso paste, when the time is almost up, add the chopped fungus, and make a paste with flour and water. The meat sauce is finished.Wang Congcong was about to roll out the noodles when Mrs. Wang came back and took over to make them.

At this time, Xia Zhi had also finished cutting the cucumbers. According to Li Qiuyan's instructions, half of them were cut into pieces and half of them were shredded.

Li Qiuyan cut the braised pork into pieces, added cucumber cubes, and mixed it with a large pot of cucumber and pig head meat.Dongxue boiled hot water, Wang poured the rolled noodles into two large pots in succession, took them out and iced them with cold water, and told Li Qiuyan to take her sisters to cook another pot to eat, and then served them in earthen pots. , carrying the load to the fields.

Li Qiuyan cooked another pot of noodles and first served a bowl to Li Xiangnan. They imitated Li Qiuyan and put the noodles in the bowl, then scooped a spoonful of meat sauce and added shredded cucumbers. mix.The aroma of meat and the refreshing taste of cucumber made everyone take a sip of saliva.I took a bite of the noodles and they were very chewy.The meat sauce is filled with chopped mushrooms, diced fungus, and has a multi-layered texture. Coupled with the crunchy cucumber, several people couldn't stop eating.

Li Qiuyan hurriedly asked everyone to eat pork head meat and said playfully: "This is my family's secret recipe."

Wang Congcong stayed away from home and ate generously.Xia Zhi and Dong Xue only dared to eat the cucumbers inside. Li Qiuyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he used chopsticks to pick up a lot of meat for them.Dongxue is still young, but she only thinks that sister Qiu Yan is really nice.Tears filled Xia Zhi's eyes.Unable to see Xia Zhi like this, Li Xiangnan just shouted for more noodles, and Li Qiuyan left with a smile.

Several people each ate two large bowls of noodles before putting down their chopsticks. Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Wang Congcong and Xia Zhi were rushing to wash the dishes.Li Qiuyan simply said, letting Xia Zhi and Dong Xue wash the dishes at home while he and Wang Congcong went to the fields to take a look.

Li Qiuyan and Wang Congcong walked to the end of the field and saw that a large area had been harvested. The uncle drove Li Lin in an ox cart and pulled the bundles of wheat to the Li family's wheat field. Old Li Tou was there watching the others. Several houses have harvested wheat.After it is dried, it is threshed, bagged and taken home.

Seeing Li Qiuyan coming, Mrs. Wang straightened up and wiped the sweat from her head. She couldn't help it. She wanted to help when she came: "Why are you two here?" Li Qiuyan felt a little tired when she saw Wang. Complaining: "Mom, there are so many people doing it, so you should go home and rest." "Why don't I do it more quickly? By the way, everyone agreed on the lunch, which is delicious and delicious. Just wait a moment. I will make some convenient things in the afternoon and send them over. I went back late today and there are many people. If I hurry up, I should be able to finish it in one day." Li Qiuyan agreed and persuaded Wang to go back, but did not persuade him.

After persuading for a long time, Wang Congcong also wanted to stay and help. Li Qiuyan really had no choice but to go home and prepare dinner. She had to wash and boil water, and she needed Wang Congcong's help in cooking.Finally, Wang Congcong was forced to go back with the earthen pot and the used bowl.At Li Qiuyan's house, Li Xiangnan was talking to Xia Zhi.

He looked at his eldest niece who seemed to have changed into a different person, and it was fake that he was not heartbroken.Looking at Xia Zhi's dark head, he said kind words: "Xia Zhi, your father is confused and your mother can't speak at home. Third uncle will talk to your father today. You should protect Dong Xue at home and don't let her be wronged."

Xia Zhi agreed softly, but she didn't know what to do. Since her mother gave birth to Dongxue, her father's temperament has changed a lot.
