I saw so much rice in the rice jar, and it was obvious that the rice was of good quality.
There was also a bag of flour and several packets of vegetable seeds on the table, and two piles of potatoes and carrots were piled under the kitchen cabinet.
Everyone was so surprised that it was like a holiday.
However, after the joy, Fan Huifang did not forget to ask with concern: "Xiaobei, you bought so many things, including those four hens. It must have cost a lot of money. Did you borrow money from your uncle and aunt?"
"Tell everyone how much you borrowed, and when the time comes to divide the food, we'll pay it back together!"
"Yes, little sister Shen, this time you borrowed money for all of us to buy food and hens. This debt is everyone's common debt, not just yours, so don't bear it alone!"
"Yes, Sister Xiaobei, how much money did you borrow from your uncle and aunt? Let's pay it back together later!"
"Sister Huifang, Brother Deng, Xiaoli, I didn't borrow much, and this is a matter between me and my cousin, so don't worry about it!"
"Xiaobei, how can we just ignore it? Those four chickens must have cost more than ten yuan, which is not a small amount. How can we let you pay it back alone?"
"Sister Huifang, my cousin bought those four chickens for me at a state-owned chicken farm at a low price. They're not as expensive as you think. Really, I didn't give them much, so don't worry about it!"
"Oh, she said that, which means she has connections, ways, and a lot of money. Sister Huifang, don't be so polite to her! I used my family's wealth yesterday, but I didn't see you being so polite!"
Kong Wanwan was very unhappy and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Du Wenli lowered his head and pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more.
She gave him a displeased look.
"Sister Huifang, someone is right this time. Don't be so polite to me! Why don't we discuss what to cook for tonight? Tonight, we must have a good meal to celebrate!"
"Look, the hen has already laid an egg! This means that from today on, we should be able to eat eggs every day! Xiaoli, tell me first, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Uh... I want scallion pancakes! I've only had them once since I came here!"
"Scallion pancakes? Great! Sister Huifang, Brother Deng, how about we make scallion pancakes tonight? We already have the flour and yeast, and as for the scallions, we can just go down to the vegetable garden and pick a handful!"
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements tonight!"
"Alright then, tonight we'll each have three scallion pancakes and eat our fill! Then, we'll make a tomato and egg soup so everyone can have a share of the first egg the hen laid today! And then, we'll stir-fry two side dishes!"
"Yeah, that's great, so rich!"
Amidst Ke Xiaoli's cheers, Shen Xiaobei immediately started working, with Fan Huifang and Ke Xiaoli helping her.
The kitchen is not big and it is not suitable for too many people to squeeze in.
So Deng Yuliang had nothing to do, so he sat in the yard with a book and read.
Kong Wanwan was very unhappy to see Shen Xiaobei so glorious in front of everyone today, and she went back to her room to sulk. Du Wenli had to bite his scalp and go in to coax her.
In the past few days, Shen Xiaobei seemed like a different person.
Not only did his personality become more extroverted, but he also became smarter, and he also had a wealthy relative in the county town.
Du Wenli felt mixed emotions.
I couldn't help but doubt myself, wondering if I had lost the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?
He was distractedly thinking about watermelon and sesame in Kong Wanwan's room, but in the kitchen, everyone was having fun, with the three girls busy making scallion pancakes.
Shen Xiaobei is the head chef, because she was quite good at making scallion pancakes in her previous world and had made it many times.
She estimated the amount for six people, poured a pile of flour into a porcelain bowl, added a small amount of yeast, and asked Fan Huifang to bring the warm water that had been mixed.
She poured it in and kneaded the dough.
The warm water was not poured in at once, but in several times.
While pouring, stir the flour until it becomes flocs, then use chopsticks to stir it into dough, and then cover the porcelain basin with a pot lid to let the dough rise.
While the two were washing and cutting other vegetables and waiting for the dough to rise, Ke Xiaoli went to the vegetable garden to pick green onions and came back after a while.
After she washed the green onions, Fan Huifang cut them into small pieces and put them in a bowl for later use.
Shen Xiaobei estimated that the dough was almost done, so he lifted the lid of the pot and pressed the dough hard with his hands.
After pressing the dough into a smooth state, she covered the pot and continued to let it rise.
The second resting time is about twice as long as the first time, which is a bit longer.
While waiting, Shen Xiaobei first fried a plate of emerald green cabbage seedlings, and then fried a plate of shredded carrots and potatoes.
There are two side dishes, red, yellow and green, the colors look very rich and go well with rice.
She covered the dish with two plates to keep it warm, then she cleaned the pot, poured some rapeseed oil into it, and heated the oil.
After the oil was heated, Shen Xiaobei shoveled it into a bowl filled with some flour, then used chopsticks to mix the two into a golden, thin oil pastry, and set it aside for later use.
The three of them chatted happily while waiting.
Estimating that the dough had risen for thirty to forty minutes, Shen Xiaobei took it out and pulled it with his hands, and felt that it was risen enough.
Then he placed it on a small wooden table that had been wiped clean and sprinkled with flour.
Then use a stick to roll the dough into a large pancake that is not too thin, then pour the thin pastry prepared in advance evenly on the pancake, sprinkle a little salt evenly, and then sprinkle a layer of chopped green onions.
Then roll the dough into long strips, cut it into pieces, press it into dough, and then roll it into thin pancakes.
