"Two bowls of vegetable and shredded pork noodles are ready!" The waiter's loud voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Old Mrs. Tian and Tian Tian realized that the noodles were ordered by both of them, and they stood up at the same time to serve the noodles.
"Wow! It looks delicious!" When Tian Tian went to serve the noodles, she saw slightly yellowish noodles in the bowl, topped with shredded pork with a rich sauce, and a few cabbage leaves next to it.
The shredded pork inside was not just a few thin strands as Tian Tian had imagined, but a small pile of it on the surface. It was obvious that the lean meat had been fried with sauce, similar to Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce. The surface was covered with sauce and had an oily luster.
The aroma of meat and flour all hit her face, and it tasted completely different from the white flour in her space. Tian Tian's mouth immediately began to water.
As a person with high emotional value who particularly likes to brag, Tian Tian couldn't help but say this.
A middle-aged man who was resting behind the window looked up at Tian Tian when he heard this.
It’s a pity that Tian Tian was so focused on staring at the bowl of delicious-looking shredded pork noodles that she didn’t notice his gaze at all.
"Is it hot? Do you want me to help you carry it?" Old Mrs. Tian asked as she picked up the bowl.
"No, no, I can do it myself!" Tian Tian refused without even thinking.
She tried to touch the edge of the bowl and it was a little hot, and her delicate fingertips had turned slightly red.
This did not defeat Tian Tian. She lifted up the corner of her clothes, used the clothes to pad the bowl and brought the noodles to the table.
The weather is cold now and she is wearing thick clothes, but she is not worried about exposing herself at all.
After getting her seat, Tian Tian couldn't wait to take a bite of the shredded pork. The rich sauce instantly filled her taste buds, the salty, sweet and fragrant sauce, coupled with the aroma of lard, made Tian Tian feel complete.
The best thing is that this shredded pork is not pure lean meat, it has a little bit of fat on it. The oil in the fat has all been stir-fried out, and the fat has become crispy, giving the lean meat a hint of fat aroma, making the lean meat fragrant but not dry and greasy.
Although the sauce is rich, it does not mask the flavor of the pork itself. The two complement each other very well.
Then take a big mouthful of noodles, blow it cool and put it in your mouth. It is chewy and springy.
Today's noodles are not the refined white flour of later generations, but a yellowish flour, which is whole wheat flour. It has a rougher texture and a stronger noodle flavor.
The noodle soup looks clear, but it is actually bone soup that has been simmered for a long time, and the soup base has a rich flavor.
Those cabbage slices were also cooked in the soup. They were soft and not tough at all. The cabbage leaves were full of soup and the cabbage stalks were cooked until they were transparent.
In short, the whole bowl of noodles was very much to Tian Tian's liking, but it was a pity that the two taels of noodles were just right. After Tian Tian finished the noodles, she drank a few mouthfuls of soup and her stomach was full.
Old Mrs. Tian felt reluctant to leave the half of noodle soup left in Tian Tian's bowl. After finishing her noodles, she took Tian Tian's bowl and drank up all the soup.
Tian Tian was so worried that Old Lady Tian’s stomach would burst because there were two full bowls of noodle soup!
The stipulated portion of noodles was two taels, but there was no regulation for the noodle soup. The portion given was so generous that two large bowls were filled and Old Lady Tian drank them all.
"Burp~" Old Mrs. Tian burped after drinking two bowls of noodle soup.
"This noodles is really delicious. We have something to hold the noodles, so we have to save some for everyone to taste." Old Mrs. Tian said with a bit of regret.
She saw that the people around her were putting all the leftover food into lunch boxes. Old Mrs. Tian was very envious. If she had a lunch box in her hand, she would not force herself to drink all the noodle soup.
"Grandma, when I make money in the future, I will definitely invite everyone in the family to come here for a bowl of noodles!" Tian Tian said, patting her chest.
"Then I'll wait to benefit from you!" Old Mrs. Tian did not discourage Tian Tian's enthusiasm.
The two of them rested for a while after their meal, and when their stomachs were not so full anymore, they left the state-owned restaurant and prepared to go home.
Old Mrs. Tian drank too much noodle soup and went to the toilet several times on the way back.
Fortunately, the greening is better now, and there are lush grass on the roadside. Although the weather is cold and the grass is dry and yellow, it can still block people.
After walking for three hours, Tian Tian was exhausted when she got home.
"Grandma! Sister!" Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo were playing outside. They saw Tian Tian and Old Lady Tian coming back from afar. Tian Tian was carrying a big backpack. They thought they had bought something delicious, so they ran over and hugged Tian Tian and Old Lady Tian's thighs.
"Stay away from me! Look at how dirty the clothes you are wearing are. I just changed my clothes, stop rubbing dust on me!" Old Mrs. Tian avoided Tian Zhuo's hug with disgust.
Tian Tian also quickly dodged Tian Baobao's dirty hands. The clothes on her body were also clean. Although they were not new and had turned a little white due to washing, they were washed very cleanly. She had specially gone to the county town to change into clean clothes.
Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo didn't care about being disliked and stared at the backpack behind Tian Tian.
Tian Baobao also asked sweetly: "Sister, what are you carrying in the backpack? It looks heavy, how about I help you carry it?"
Tian Tian rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "I spent a lot of money to buy the good stuff in this basket. You and Xiao Zhuo will definitely like it!"
Tian Baobao looked at Tian Tian's confident expression and thought seriously with his brain, which he rarely used: "What do they like most? Isn't what they like most delicious?"
When Tian Baobao thought about this, his saliva almost flowed down.
"Okay! Let's go home quickly! We are tired after walking all day. We can go back and have a rest if we hurry. Don't dawdle here. You two too, now that there is no work in the fields, you two can just run wild, right? There are so many ripe fruits on the mountain now, and you don't even know how to pick them!" As she said that, Old Lady Tian pulled Tian Baobao and walked towards home.
Tian Baobao was thinking that Tian Tian's backpack was full of delicious food, and he also wanted to go home quickly. He did not resist Old Lady Tian, but instead followed her force and walked towards the house.
Tian Zhuo followed Tian Tian like a follower and walked happily towards home.
There was no one at home. Tian Lisong and Lin Meiyu must have gone up the mountain to collect firewood, and the lock of the gate was hung up.
As soon as they got home, Old Lady Tian let go of Tian Baobao and went back to her room. Before leaving, she said to the three of them, "You guys play for a while! I'm going to change my clothes!"
Tian Tian looked at Old Lady Tian's hurried back and felt a little confused, but Tian Baobao and Tian Zhuo kept pestering her to see what was in the backpack, so she didn't have time to think about it.
