Doubao was already taking care of the two little kids while they started eating. Even Xiaomin and Xue Hongbing came in, got on the kang, and sat around the fragrant table.
"This is Xue Hongbing, and this is my good brother He Duobao."
"Xue Zhiqing, you can just call me Doubao. I'm twenty years old this year. How old are you?"
Xue Hongbing introduced himself: "I am one year older than Li Chuang. I am 21 years old this year. Doubao, Master Lian told me that you can drive me away... Thank you so much!"
"Hi! What are you thanking me for? Xiaomin and I are best friends. We promise to bring you to Guangdong Province safely! Let's eat first. I'm almost dying of hunger. Haha, it smells so good."
Lian Xiaomin smiled and handed each person a pair of chopsticks and a soup spoon.
Everyone ate meat with big mouthfuls and drank sauerkraut soup with slurps. Soon, sweat broke out on their foreheads. It was so refreshing.
The little kid ate very happily and didn't eat less.
Lian Xiaomin saw that they were only eating meat, so she fed them a few mouthfuls of rice.
"Jiejie, I want more powder!"
Xiao Ya has fallen in love with vermicelli, which is especially delicious when stewed and becomes sticky.
This is the sweet potato grown in the space. I specifically went to the east end of the village to find the sweet potato flour made by Wang Yunqing's brother. Her family makes the best.
But I made a lot of wide noodles, so I just left eight big sweet potatoes as a reward. A big sweet potato weighs one and a half pounds.
Lian Xiaomin served Xiao Ya a lot of vermicelli in her small bowl. The little girl ate so much that her face was covered with oil and she was very happy.
"Xiaomin, your wide noodles are really special. How come they are so delicious?"
"Really? I specially asked Wang Yunqing's family to make it. I'll give you two bundles before you leave. It's a lot."
In fact, it’s also because the sweet potatoes grown in space are tastier than those grown in this era.
The little kid ate first, burped contentedly, and went over to play.
The three of them continued to eat. Lian Xiaomin saw that Xue Hongbing always ate sauerkraut and noodles and rarely picked up meat, so she kept picking up meat for him.
Doubao was also happy: "Xue Zhiqing, it's okay, just eat as much as you can, and eat more than just the meat from the hunter's house."
"…Thinking back to the first time the four of us went hunting in the mountains with Xiaomin, guess what? We got five carts full of prey, including three red deer and a tiger."
Xue Hongbing smiled brightly, but his eyes widened when he heard the rest.
"What? Really? Then how long will it take to eat it?"
Xue Hongbing took a bite of a big piece of meat with three layers of streaky meat, which tasted delicious while he listened to Doubao continuing to talk (telling stories and chatting).
"We definitely can't finish eating it all, so we secretly sold the prey and each of us got a lot of money."
Xue Hongbing seemed to understand a little bit why Master Lian's family ate fine grains for every meal, drank brown sugar water from large teapots, and ate large chunks of meat.
Alas, people with real abilities will never have a bad life no matter what era it is, and will eat and drink the best food and drink the best drinks.
"Dou Bao, I really envy you for having so many good friends and brothers. You all live a happy life together. I used to be quite successful in Shanghai. I was no worse than Li Chuang in terms of writing and studying, but..."
"Since I responded to the call two years ago and went to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, I was unlucky enough to be assigned to the Xinfeng Village Production Team. Under the leadership of Huang Shiren, the leader of Huang Laosi, my life has been ruined."
"...Now that I've met you, I feel like my sins have not been in vain. Maybe good days are ahead!"
Doubao ate a few mouthfuls of vermicelli and said as he chewed: "You're right to think so. Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise, right?"
"Although you didn't tell me because you were afraid of getting me into trouble...but I can guess what you can do in Guangdong Province."
"Xue Zhiqing, you have good looks, are good at studying, and are well-educated. I wish you all the best in getting through this hurdle and making a name for yourself in the future. We two brothers are really just one sip of wine away from each other."
Lian Xiaomin burst out laughing: "What do you want a bicycle for? You also want wine? I don't have any. Even if I have it, you can't drink it. I have something important to do tomorrow morning."
Everyone was eating and chatting, but not slowly. Just like Lian Xiaomin said, there were such important things to do, so they had to be careful and eat quickly.
Half an hour later, the enamel basin was cleaned and even the eight pieces of fermented tofu that Xiaomin had served in a small plate were all finished.
The rice is even more empty.
I ate more than ten sticky rice dumplings in a row.
It's really a complete mess, tut tut.
Lian Xiaomin felt a sense of accomplishment, this was a dish she cooked by herself and it looked very good.
Quickly clean up the dishes and chopsticks, don't rush to wash them, just put them in an enamel basin and place them on the stove.
Doubao wiped the table, and the three of them, holding their bloated stomachs, sat together and continued to discuss things.
We talked for about twenty minutes and planned to meet at the transport team at six o'clock tomorrow morning, before daybreak.
Lian Xiaomin would send Xue Hongbing in, climb over the wall, and then find Doubao's truck.
Doubao should go to work early and hide the person first.
Now the truck bed is already half full of rice and flour bags. When the time comes, we will move them around so that people can hide inside.
All these will be arranged before dawn, and then Lian Xiaomin will come back.
The transport team started work at 8 o'clock and officially set off to gather in the county town, and then the convoy left the county town and headed south.
All this was settled. Doubao looked at the watch and it was already seven o'clock.
"Okay then, I'll go back first. See you tomorrow morning!"
He stood up, put on his cotton jacket, said goodbye to Xue Hongbing, and walked out.
Lian Xiaomin sent him out and went to the yard first, asking him to wait for a moment.
He walked to the door of the utility room, and with a thought, a large sack filled with half a wild boar meat appeared inside.
He pushed the door open, picked up the sack, turned around and put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and tied it with a rope to make it more secure.
