Chapter 159: Two-in-one Captain, I brought you something good! …
You know what, Ning Yuan’s craftsmanship is really good.
Take that bowl of bacon porridge for example, it looks good and tastes even better. The rice in the porridge is thick and steamed until each grain is blooming. It is paired with bacon that has been cooked until it is almost soft and melted, and chopped green onions that Ningyuan specially uses to garnish it. The white, red and green colors intertwined together look very beautiful.
After taking a bite, the aroma of the melted porridge filled his mouth and flowed down his throat warmly, warming him from the inside out. Song Ruan drank two bowls in a row and still felt unsatisfied: "Your cooking skills are really good!"
Ning Yuan was like a green plant comforted by the sun, with every leaf on its body stretching out. Also like the sunflower in Plants vs. Zombies, the petals around it swayed, and a little sun was about to pop out.
He happily took Song Ruan's bowl, filled it up with another, and handed it to Song Ruan carefully: "Then you eat more."
Fortunately, this is semi-fluid porridge. If it were rice, Ning Yuan could have scooped out a pointed mound for her, compacted it, and then piled up another mound.
Song Ruan really didn't eat well along the way. In addition, after being transformed by the body-strengthening pills, Lin Daiyu instantly turned into Lu Zhishen, who could eat "ten pounds of lean meat, finely cut into sauce, without any fat, all poured on the noodles" in one meal. She took a big bite as soon as she received it.
With the first two bowls as a foundation, this bowl of Song Ruangongdi porridge did not feel like the food of a wild boar that had been hungry for ten days. The porridge stayed in the mouth a little longer, and the original taste of the porridge was experienced more delicately.
After taking two more sips, I realized that the green thing was not chopped green onion, but actually finely chopped vegetables.
"This vegetable tastes so fresh." She was a little surprised.
How should I put it, there is no smell of cellar at all!
Ning Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said to her with the look of a puppy coming home from hunting, wagging his tail happily, "Yes, these are the small green vegetables I was thinking about growing in the house, and I just picked them."
Song Ruan was really convinced at this moment: "You are really amazing. You can come up with such a clever idea."
"I also planted some garlic sprouts. If you like, I can bring them to you to stir-fry with bacon."
Ning Yuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if he was greatly encouraged, and he said happily: "If you like it, I will grow more for you! What other vegetables do you like to eat - mushrooms? Chives? I can try them all."
He looked so excited and enthusiastic, as if he would dismantle his own kang to build a vegetable rack for her if only Song Ruan nodded.
Song Ruan:! ! !
She quickly held down the groundhog who was eager to dig a tunnel in his home to make it easier for her to pass through: "You don't need that much... By the way, I brought you a gift!"
She changed the subject abruptly.
The groundhog stopped moving.
The groundhog looked over eagerly, his back straightened unconsciously, as if he was sitting upright, but his head revealed his inner thoughts as he honestly tilted towards Song Ruan.
Song Ruan climbed from the kang to the edge of the kang, took out the big bag on top, and first took out the photos of "traveling with friends". The one taken at the zoo showed her holding two banners of the captain and Ning Yuan in her left and right hands, which could be regarded as a group photo. There were also some photos she took at the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square. She also specially picked some iconic places and took two photos of each of them with their banners, to showcase a VIP individual experience.
There is no one in the world more caring than her!
Soft pride.jpg
Although it would take a few days to pick up the photos, she had been in the capital for a month after all, so she didn't need to spend money to expedite it, and could just wait a few days to get them. Later, she felt that some photo spots were a bit far away and she was too lazy to walk, so she directly asked the child of the aunt at the front desk of the guesthouse to pick up the goods for her. Children in the capital are also easy to fool, and they agreed after two egg and milk biscuits. Her child soldier team developed a new offline line in the capital.
Song Ruan walked to a place and left a fire there.
In addition, she also brought out some specialties of the capital, such as air-dried roast duck, Poria cocos cake, and some time-honored pastries. Because the temperature is low now, they are naturally frozen all the way here and are not spoiled. Considering that people have just cooked a table of delicious food for her, Song Ruan had a rare conscience and did not bring up the bucket of frozen bean juice.
Ning Yuan was holding a lot of bags, like a groundhog whose arms were suddenly stuffed full. His eyes were round and he hadn’t reacted yet. The whole person (rat) was in a daze.
It can be seen that this groundhog likes the photo given by Song Ruan the most. Its two paws are clenched tightly, and its white jade-like fingertips are rubbing gently.
Song Ruan blew a gangster whistle in her heart, wow, so cute.
Of course, she had the dignity to save face so she didn't say it directly, and she still looked righteous.
She is a serious person.
Coupled with a few sweet words, Ning Yuan was coaxed enough that it looked like he would fight for Song Ruan on the battlefield and die for his friend in the next second.
Song Ruan finished most of the rice on the plate and was about to put down her chopsticks. Before she could say anything, Ning Yuan sat up and held Song Ruan down anxiously: "I'll do it, I'll do it. You take a rest."
Song Ruan, a lazy person, usually doesn't like this kind of housework. She coaxes the system to wash the pots and dishes for her every day. Now someone has volunteered, of course she is happy to take it easy. While handing over the bowl, she pretends to say, "That must be hard work for you."
Ning Yuan: “Not hard!”
The anti-jing system that I blocked has popped up again.
[Hey, you don’t want me to wash the dishes for you today? 】
【That~is~so~hard~for~you~】
With that twists and turns of the tune in her throat and a little powder on her face, she can go on the System 101 stage to sing.
This person is also her main force in washing dishes, and must not be offended.
Song Ruan skillfully flattered the system that was jumping around in her mind and acting weird:
"Oh my, you washed the dishes for me so many times before. Aren't I worried that you would be tired?"
Although the anti-jing system exploded, it was easy to appease. Hearing this, he stopped talking and said half-believingly;
【real? 】
"That's more real than real gold!"
As Song Ruan spoke, she spent 0.5 points to buy him a lollipop. She looked very sincere: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to think how tired I would be after work every day!"
The anti-sperm system glanced at the pink lollipop and thought it was a bit ugly, but still took it and started to crunch it.
While biting, he said:
[Hmph, this is the best.]
It’s no wonder that men like virtuous wives, Song Ruan thought, touching her round belly.
The meal is hot, the dishes are fragrant, and the kang is warm. After eating, you can just lie back and relax without cleaning up after yourself. In the future, there will be mobile phones and televisions to entertain you. What wonderful days!
Song Ruan narrowed her eyes comfortably. The cute Ning Yuan was even considerate enough to wash two frozen pears from outside, thaw them in a basin and bring them in. It seemed that if the frozen pears were not mainly for sipping the juice, he might even want to peel and slice them and feed them to Song Ruan's mouth. Song Ruan was so pleased that she wanted to shake her feet.
Ning Yuan cleaned the house inside and out, fed food to the creature, and when everything was ready, he left reluctantly.
Go back now and prepare the garlic sprouts so that you can stir-fry bacon for Comrade Song tomorrow.
He planned in his mind and closed the door for Song Ruan.
The wind is still cold now, don't let Comrade Song get sick.
He really didn't know what was blurring his eyes. He didn't even think about the fact that Song Ruan could eat a whole table of food in one meal. Even a cow might not eat more than her. How could she be so fragile?
At this moment, Song Ruan had finished eating a plate of frozen pears and was lying on the kang with his legs spread out.
She had been sleeping from morning till night on the train these days, and it was still early now, but she really couldn't fall asleep.
Song Ruan rolled back and forth on the kang, but she couldn't feel sleepy at all. Her eyes rolled and bad thoughts emerged from her eyes and eyebrows.
Oh my, oh my, she just came back, shouldn’t she visit her biggest supporter here? Besides, she has invited so many people to distribute gifts in the auditorium of the brigade headquarters tomorrow. It can be considered a large-scale event. She must report to the brigade leader, right?
——These are all serious matters!
Down to business! !
When Song Ruan thought about this, he became very excited. He jumped up from the kang, jumped down in his slippers, walked to the side of the bean juice pot with his chest puffed out and knocked off a piece of it with a "dang dang dang".
The bean juice ice cracked in the middle, and the smell of dead fish and shrimp mixed with dead old men rushed up. Song Ruan couldn't help but take a sip, and put the bean juice ice into a large bowl with disgust, then casually picked out some from the pile of her own specialties, tucked it under her arm and went out.
Whether it's a specialty or not is not very important. The main thing is that she has to visit the top leader first when she comes back after being away for a month or so. Yes, in China, one has to be worldly-wise and polite!
Song Ruan kept muttering "the ways of the world" in her mind while smiling with a sly look in her eyes until her teeth showed.
What can I say? He's smiling like a weasel and it's obvious that he has no good intentions.
Song Ruan puffed out his chest and held his head high, and walked out the door marching in a righteous manner.
That was so heroic and high-spirited.
Haoshi was eating heartily in the donkey shed. When he saw this scene, he buried his head in the trough, his ears twitching, as if he was eating very seriously and didn't notice Song Ruan's movements at all.
There was no trace of the sticky and intimate look that Song Ruan had when he just came back.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
It seems that this keeper is restless. He has just returned for a short while and he is going out to play with cats and dogs again.
The good-natured man's lips moved clackingly and he shook his donkey head in disgust.
Could Song Ruan just watch the donkey leisurely?
He went up and grabbed the donkey's neck, dragging it out - it was a good thing that the soy milk was still in ice form, otherwise it would have been splashed all over with such a big move.
Good things cannot be overcome by arms, and the little donkey cannot beat an adult. The donkey kept calling out angrily but in vain was dragged out by Song Ruan, and its hooves drew a long white line on the ground.
What are you doing! What are you doing! Is there anyone who can take care of this?
It will be reported to the central government! Report to the central government! ! !
Good thing snorted angrily, and all the donkey hair on his body stood up.
Song Ruan put his hands on his hips and laughed: "Sue the central government? It's useless even if you sue the heaven! Come with me!"
Good thing almost made me mad on the spot.
Song Ruan coaxed it on the way: "I am taking you to the home of the richest captain. It just so happens that he also has an old yellow cow at home. You can make friends with him when you go."
If it wasn't for the fact that Song Ruan was his breeder (mainly because he didn't dare), he would have given her a kick on the spot.
What's the point for a donkey like him to be friends with an old ox? !
Song Ruan looked around and saw no one, then winked at it and said, "You can go to your brother Niu's shed and wait for me. Although your brother Niu may be eating, you can't steal his food! He's so big, if he kicks you and hurts you, I can't help you!"
Good things: ...
Good things: thoughtful.jpg
Good thing: Sudden enlightenment.jpg
Song Ruan added: "You still have food to eat when you come back. No one will touch yours. There's no need to eat that extra bite or two."
The good thing reluctantly stopped struggling, it barked actively, and took the initiative to walk in front.
Not leaving yet!
Now that I've come out, I can't just go back like this for nothing!
The bell on the donkey's neck jingled and made a crisp sound on the village road.
Song Ruan smiled, and except for the bowl of soy milk ice, she put all the other things into the net bag. She strode to catch up with the good thing in front of her, and casually hung the things around the donkey's neck.
Good things: ...
I knew that you, a two-legged beast with shifty eyes, had no good intentions! !
It stamped its hooves angrily on the ice that had not yet bloomed.
At this moment, the team leader's family had just finished dinner, and each family went back to their own rooms to clean up. When Song Ruan knocked on the door, the team leader, who had just finished putting feed into the cowshed, came to open the door.
When the donkey saw the hay crumbs in the captain's hand, its eyes lit up and it ran straight to the cowshed.
Song Ruan quickly tore the thing off its neck.
Captain:? ? ?
Song Ruan remained calm and said, "Good things will happen if you go find its friends to play with."
A donkey and a cow, how do you play this? No, when did they become friends?
The captain didn't understand, but he expressed respect.
The captain asked, "Xiao Song, you just came back. Have you eaten yet?"
"I ate, I ate. I came here after eating." Song Ruan said.
These days, every household is short of food, and except for those who are not particular, few people go to other people's homes for meals.
The main thing is that you are not particular and go to other people's houses for free meals. Others may also be not particular and come to your house for free meals at mealtime, which mainly results in mutual harm.
Besides, those who take advantage of others' meals usually think this in their hearts. If the person being taken advantage of is thin-skinned, then this will be let go and the money will be wasted. But in the Dongfeng Brigade, are you thin-skinned?
Haha, in their area, all the rats have thick skin!
The Dongfeng Brigade is full of talented people, which has achieved a delicate balance.
This is mutual checks and balances.
But those polite words were for others. The captain was not fake to Song Ruan and continued to persuade her enthusiastically: "Eat more. It happens that your aunt just steamed some sticky bean curd. It's just out of the pot, still hot and fragrant."
Song Ruan smacked his lips, and suddenly felt that his stomach had digested a little bit after walking all the way: "Then it's okay to eat a little."
The captain smiled and said, "That's right. How can you not finish two sticky bean buns? Old lady, old lady, quickly pick up two sticky bean buns for Xiao Song!"
The captain's wife shouted from the kitchen: "Here it comes, here it comes, Xiao Song, eat more, there's more if it's not enough."
Then he brought out a full basin.
They both spoke easily. The sticky rice dumplings now were made of glutinous rice and various beans, and each one was as big as a fist. Eating too many would make people bloated and injured. That was Song Ruan. Who else could eat this right after a meal?
The captain and his family all prepared food for tomorrow.
Song Ruan ate two sticky rice dumplings with sugar, and praised the captain's wife until she was beaming with joy. Finally, she took out the net bag and said, "Captain, this is the specialty I brought you."
Although they were just casually taken, Song Ruan, who loved pleasure, bought everything except the soy milk specifically for the Huo Huo people, but the rest were all good stuff. There is a wide variety of special pastries, dried fruits and meats, and any one of them is top-notch.
After all, in this era of material scarcity, two taels of brown sugar was a delicacy that only women in confinement could eat - and maybe they couldn't even eat that much.
The captain was at a loss for words. He put down his pipe and rubbed it on the edge of his clothes: "Oh, kid, oh, you can't do this."
Song Ruan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Captain, what are you doing? I just ate your sticky bean buns. Do you want me to spit it out?"
"Oh, you, hiss, ah, Xiao Song, thank you."
The team leader took it with a sigh, muttering something like "too expensive".
"Old lady, bring two more sticky rice dumplings to Xiao Song."
He couldn't think of anything good at home, so he planned to feed Song Ruan something more.
It looked like he wanted to stick a tube down Song Ruan's throat and connect a funnel to pour the fluid down.
"No, no, I really can't eat any more." Song Ruan waved her hands repeatedly. Sticky rice dumplings were indeed delicious, but they were too sticky. Her head hurt from chewing them. Forget it.
She quickly took out the photos of "traveling with friends" and said, "Captain, please look at the photos."
The captain couldn't look away for a moment. He looked at his own name and Tiananmen Square together. He became very excited. He took the photo with shaking hands and looked like he cherished it very much.
The captain's wife also came over, saw her name, and became excited.
"Ah, my goodness! I've finally been to the capital for a tour!!"
The captain told his wife: "Stick this photo in our house."
The captain's wife wiped her hands on her apron, took it carefully, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
People nowadays have a feeling of reverence and pilgrimage towards the capital. Even if they haven't been there themselves, it's good to take a look.
The captain was secretly moved for a long time, and when he saw Song Ruan again
"Xiao Song, you are a good kid."
The good boy puffed out his chest with pride.
"Besides that, I have waited for you one of the most famous and best things in the capital!!"
"This is a representation of the daily life of the people in the capital, a feature of the food culture, and a must-eat specialty for outsiders visiting the capital! If you don't eat this, it's like going to the capital in vain!"
Song Ruan talked so much nonsense that not only the captain's family members, but even Wang Xue, who had been sitting aside with disdain at first, came over - she had never been to the capital either.
Song Ruan held up the bowl of icy soy milk that she had carefully cared for.
Under the warmth of the kang, the ice had melted into water and turned back into a bowl of gray-green water.
Song Ruan greeted enthusiastically: "Bring a few more bowls quickly, so that everyone can have a taste."
Hu Tou rushed into the kitchen first: "Okay, Sister Xiao Song!!"
