"Wow, Sister Yuefang, this is a good thing. I'm really craving for a bite."
"It's a good thing. You have good taste. Come on, take a spoonful."
Zhang Yuefang smiled triumphantly, took a spoon and scooped a spoonful into Cheng Qiao's bowl. Cheng Qiao quickly stirred it and transferred a small half of the dough into Zhang Yuefang's bowl.
Zhang Yuefang felt very relieved and started eating immediately. She had been working in the fields for the whole afternoon and was already exhausted. Her stomach was also growling with hunger. She ate the sorghum flour dough in just a few bites.
Looking at the red chili oil at the bottom of the bowl, Zhang Yuefang took the empty bowl to the kitchen, hid in the corner and started licking it with her tongue. Cheng Qiao was there just now, so she was embarrassed to do so.
After licking the bottom of the bowl clean, I washed the dishes and chopsticks and started cooking. There was actually nothing much to do. I just added water to the pot and put some corn grits in to cook. Whether it tasted good or not was another matter.
I put together the sorghum flour that everyone had reserved, and wanted to make the same dough as Cheng Qiao, but when I thought about the layer of oil, I gave up. It was more convenient and worry-free to just make a pancake.
As soon as Xu Laidi walked into the girls' dormitory, she turned her nose vigorously. She seemed to smell the scent of pork. Cheng Qiao's heart tightened because she had just taken out the braised pork with preserved vegetables.
Could it be that after such a short while, Xu Laidie could also smell it? Is she a human or a dog? No, although she is not worthy of being a human, she cannot be compared to a dog, otherwise it would be an insult to the cute dog.
"Who among you cooked meat today?"
Xu Laidi's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind, and he asked loudly on purpose.
When these words were spoken, even Han Chunmei turned her nose up. It seemed, as if there was some smell of meat, but it was not obvious, and it was more of a smell of chili pepper.
"You are crazy, that's the chili sauce I took, and it has minced meat in it."
Zhang Yuefang said loudly in annoyance, and the other female educated youth nodded. Indeed, the smell of pepper in the air was much stronger than the smell of meat.
"Yuefang, how could you bear to take out the chili sauce to eat today?"
Han Chunmei knew how much Zhang Yuefang treasured her bottle of chili sauce, so she couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Today Cheng Qiao made a sorghum noodle soup, but it didn't taste right without the chili sauce, so I scooped out a big spoonful, and it tasted really good."
Han Chunmei nodded in understanding. After eating Cheng Qiao's sorghum noodles, it was only natural for her to take out some chili sauce. She accepted Cheng Qiao's clothes and quilt, but she didn't know how to return the favor.
"Let's go eat. I'm starving."
Xiaofang rolled her eyes at Xu Laidi and spoke loudly. All of a sudden, except Xu Laidi and Cheng Qiao, everyone washed their hands and prepared to eat.
"Where's my meal?"
Xu Laidi came to the kitchen and saw that everyone was eating dinner with gusto, with two pancakes and a big bowl of corn porridge. He couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yuefang rolled her eyes and said, "Everyone put their rations in the rice bowl, and then the cooks will gather together to cook. You, Xu Laidi, have no rations, so do you want to eat for free?"
When Han Chunmei saw Xu Laidi coming over, she quickened her eating pace. Everyone else followed suit. Even Chai Jianmin, who had been helping Xu Laidi, lowered his head and ate voraciously.
Xu Laidi stamped his feet and walked into the dormitory. He saw the remaining half of the sorghum flour dough that Cheng Qiao had placed on the cabinet. It was red and greasy, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva:
"Cheng Qiao, you can't eat this, right? It's wrong to waste food. How about I carry forward my style and help you solve it? You don't have to thank me."
"You are so shameless. You clearly want to eat for free, but you still make it sound so noble. "
Cheng Qiao took the bowl and went to the kitchen, and put a few pieces of dough into Han Chunmei's bowl. Han Chunmei was surprised and delighted, and quickly put the dough into her mouth. Hmm, it was delicious.
"Cheng Zhiqing, I'll give you one dollar, how about you give me the remaining dough?"
When Qian Longkun saw the greasy dough, his mouth began to water. When he saw Cheng Qiao preparing to divide the dough, he quickly spoke.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. You don't need any money. Just help me carry some firewood in the future."
Qian Longkun nodded in agreement readily, scooped all the dough in Cheng Qiao's bowl into his own bowl, and started eating quickly.
Chai Jianmin looked at Cheng Qiao with dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if asking her why she didn't give him the dough to eat. This shameless look made Cheng Qiao so angry that she almost wanted to curse, but a smile appeared on her face:
"Chai Zhiqing, why are you looking at me like that? Do you have money to pay me back?"
Chai Jianmin: “…￥#…”
"Haha, Cheng Qiao, that's right. You don't have to be nice to certain people in the future. They don't deserve it."
Xiaoqin and Xiaoping looked at Chai Jianmin's flushed face, laughed happily, drank the corn porridge in their bowls in one gulp, and returned to the dormitory with the pancakes.
The two took out a bottle of meat sauce from their cupboard, spread it on the pancakes, and started eating it in big mouthfuls. The rich flavor of the meat sauce stimulated Xu Laidie's saliva to secrete more, and he also felt a slight stomachache.
She opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it, opened her cupboard, took out a small handkerchief bag from the pocket of a cotton coat and put it in her pocket, then went to the kitchen to get a bag of grain and left the educated youth point.
Xiaoqin and Xiaoping looked at each other and both felt that Xu Laidi must have hidden some money and was now going out to get food, otherwise he would have starved to death.
Xu Laidi quickly came to Chen Chunhua's home. Chen Chunhua was the daughter of the village accountant. She was as proud as a peacock and thought she was the most beautiful girl in the village. She looked down on everyone.
But ever since Cheng Qiao came, all the unmarried men in the village turned their attention to her, even the most unpopular second-rate guys, which made Chen Chunhua so angry that she wanted to eat Cheng Qiao's flesh and drink her blood.
Xu Laidi saw through the girl's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but laugh. He always said bad things about Cheng Qiao in a sarcastic way. In this way, a revolutionary friendship was quickly established between the two.
"Chunhua, are you home?"
"What is it?"
Ever since Xu Lai Di brought people to surround Erliu Zi and Cheng Qiao, Chen Chunhua began to dislike Xu Lai Di. She had a secret, that is, she had fallen in love with Erliu Zi, who behaved like a rogue but was good-looking.
Besides, Erliuzi's family wasn't really that poor. His eldest brother joined the army early, and it was said that he would send money back every month.
"I'm out of rations, so I want to buy some from your family."
Xu Laidi didn't have X-ray vision and had no idea that her friendship with Chen Chunhua had capsized, but she still spoke with a smile.
