In the kitchen, the fire had just been lit and it would take a while for the water to boil, so Su Nan helped Zhou Rang. Although she couldn't cook, she could still do simple things like chopping green onions and peeling garlic.

"You also bought noodles?" Su Nan looked through the bag that he had just brought over last week on the table, and saw the long, thin noodles made by a machine in it.

"Well, longevity noodles are a must today." Zhou Rang was putting firewood into the stove. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at her.

Su Nan felt warm in her heart, gave him a coquettish look, and prepared to take out the cabbage and wash it under the tap.

Zhou Rang caught a glimpse of her movements and hurriedly stopped her. He stood up and snatched the food from her hand, saying, "The water is cold, I'll wash it. You go sit over there and help me watch the fire. It's warm over there."

"How can I be so delicate?" Su Nan protested a little, but his body was honest. He turned around and went to the stove and sat on the bench.

Her relatives will be coming over in a few days. If she takes a cold shower now, she will most likely be in great pain.

Since Zhou Rang cares about her and doesn't want her to touch cold water, then she should just stop being stubborn and help him light the fire.

Two spoons of light soy sauce, appropriate amount of chicken essence, appropriate amount of pepper powder, two spoons of chopped green onion, one spoon of lard, rinse with boiling water, cut the carrot into 5 mm thin slices and use to carve the four small words "Happy Birthday".

Boil the white noodles in boiling water, dredge them in the soup, and use the water used to cook the noodles to beat two poached eggs and some greens.

Finally, pour the lean pork shreds fried in hot oil on top, and a bowl of delicious longevity noodles is ready.

"Beautiful Ms. Su Nan, please come and enjoy your exclusive Zhou Rang brand longevity noodles." Zhou Rang was rarely humorous. He brought the noodles to the table and waved to Su Nan.

"Wow." Su Nan hurried over, looked at the bowl of longevity noodles with shining eyes, held Zhou Rang's hand, and kissed him on the cheek.

"You're awesome." Su Nan praised him generously, then sat down and started eating the bowl of noodles.

Because there would be other dishes later, she didn't eat much noodles and she finished them all in small bites.

The delicious food lingered on her tongue, fragrant and fresh. It was simply the most delicious noodles she had ever eaten, of course, with some personal feelings mixed in.

But it really tasted good, which was somewhat beyond her expectation. She originally thought he was just a half-baked chef, but she didn't expect him to cook so well. It was really good.

Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, Zhou Rang felt relieved and started to prepare the next dish.

First, clean the pork, then cut it into small pieces. Put it in a large bowl, add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of soy sauce, half a spoonful of salt, a little sugar to enhance the flavor, a spoonful of cumin powder, a spoonful of pepper powder, an egg white, and a spoonful of chili powder.

After adding the small ingredients, stir it thoroughly, then add two spoons of starch and one spoon of oil, and stir it again.

Add a little oil to the pot, then pour in the marinated meat, stir-fry on low heat for a while, then add coriander, onion, ginger and garlic.

After it’s out of the pot, bring it to the dining table.

The second dish is a famous Shanghai dish, Shanghai braised pork. First, cut the pork belly into small pieces and blanch them for later use. Then pour cooking oil into the pot, heat the oil, add sugar and stir-fry until the sugar turns brown, then add an appropriate amount of water.

After the water boils, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon and other spices. After a while, add the chopped meat. Simmer for half an hour, then simmer until the sauce thickens.

During this free time, you can make some mushroom stew with chicken.

First, cut the chicken into pieces and blanch it for later use. Then prepare the auxiliary ingredients. Put the sweet potato flour and mushrooms in separate bowls and soak them in warm water for a few minutes.

Add a proper amount of cooking oil to the pot, add chopped ginger and green onion, three pieces of star anise, two pieces of tangerine peel, and four cloves of garlic, stir-fry until hot, then add the chicken and stir-fry until it shrinks noticeably.

Then add two spoons of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce to adjust the color and seasoning. After stir-frying evenly, add appropriate amount of water. After the water boils, add salt, pepper and sugar.

Finally, add mushrooms and sweet potato flour and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

The meat dishes are ready, and there is also some fried tofu.

Cut the tofu into rectangular cubes, coat with egg white and starch, and fry until browned.

Then prepare the sauce: chili cubes, minced garlic, two spoons of soy sauce, one spoon of sugar, one spoon of salt, and half a bowl of water.

Pour the special seasoning into the pot, serve, and a delicious fried tofu is ready.

In addition to these, Zhou Rang also made small glutinous rice balls. Since Su Nan didn't like them, he only made a small bowl, for good luck and to suit the occasion.

After all, it is still necessary to eat a bowl of steaming glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice festival, because it symbolizes family reunion and family reunion.

Although their relatives are far away in Shanghai, having their loved ones by their side at this moment is a kind of comfort.

After finishing all this, Zhou Rang brought the dishes to the dining table.

"You are a great cook. These dishes look delicious." Su Nan rested his elbows on the table, holding his face, and looked at Zhou Rang with shining eyes.

"Then eat more." Zhou Rang helped her serve a bowl of rice and smiled indulgently.

But the happy time of eating is always short-lived. Su Nan had such a small stomach that she felt full after only a few bites of each dish. So she began to pick up food for Zhou Rang and enjoyed the joy of feeding him.

After they finished their meal, Su Nan helped Zhou Rang clean up the dishes. Of course, he did it while she watched.

By the time everything was settled, it was already around four or five in the afternoon. Only then did Su Nan remember the situation in the village.

"Are there any cars available at this time?" Su Nan scratched his head, glanced at Zhou Rang, then looked at the hot stove, and seemed reluctant to leave.

It's such a nice day, why do they have to walk to the village in such cold weather?

"If we go out now, we should be able to catch the last bus." Zhou Rang looked at the time on his watch and answered seriously.

Because the commune was afraid that some people would miss the bus and get out of work on the way home, they usually added an extra bus in the winter at 6pm.

As Zhou Rang spoke, he prepared to put out the stove. It seemed that he had to hurry to catch the last bus.

Su Nan looked at his anxious movements, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and scolded him for being so stupid. He didn't even seize such a good opportunity to be alone.

If it were another man, he would probably try every possible means to keep her.

A single man and a single woman, a warm stove in the cold winter, New Year's Day, the birthday of a beautiful girl, what a perfect time.

Zhou Rang is really a blockhead, but this also highlights his gentlemanly character.

But Su Nan is not a "gentleman". How can she just sit back and watch when faced with male beauty?

"Ouch." Su Nan slowly squatted down, holding her stomach, and looked at Zhou Rang pitifully.

Hearing her cry of pain, Zhou Rang quickly threw down the cold water he was about to pour into the stove, ran to her side, looked at her with a worried look, and was at a loss: "Nannan, what's wrong with you?"

"My stomach seems to be feeling uncomfortable." Su Nan used her acting skills to good effect. Her brows were furrowed, and her face turned red from holding her breath. She really looked like she was in extreme pain.

"Let's go to the hospital." As soon as Zhou Rang finished speaking, he picked up Su Nan and ran out of the house.

Su Nan was like a little white rabbit in his arms, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. His hands were like a solid wall of iron and could not shake her at all.
