Chapter 25 Roller Coaster! Race!

Mingdai used the leftover cabbage hearts from last night to make a small pickled vegetable.

Scoop out enough cornmeal for two people, add an equal amount of white flour, knead and ferment, wash two large potatoes and cut them into shreds, wash off the excess starch, and prepare the seasonings.

As soon as the fire was lit, Zhou Sinian came in carrying two wet shoes. He looked at the ingredients on the chopping board with great satisfaction.

"Go and put the shoes on the pile of wet firewood to dry, and wash the basin and bring it in."

Zhou Sinian went out obediently.

Mingdai poured oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, she took out a small bowl and put a handful of flour in it.

Pour the heated oil into a bowl and mix evenly, and the pastry is ready.

Pick up a piece of fermented dough, roll it into a ball, flatten it, put some pastry on it, roll it into a ball again, flatten it, pull it into a beef tongue shape and put it in the pan.

Put five of them in a pot and add some dry firewood. The ox tongue biscuits in the pot started to swell up, and the aroma of the sugar and oil mixture also lured Zhou Sinian in.

"Sit down, I'll let you put the firewood, you put the firewood."

I kicked a wooden stool for him to sit in front of the pot to watch the fire. I lit the small stove, heated the pot, poured oil into it, put in the garlic slices and dried chilies when the oil was hot, and the burnt aroma filled the air.

The fried cakes in the pot were turned over, and the drained potato shreds were poured into the pot with a sizzling sound. The educated youth in the front yard looked at the porridge in the bowl and felt so sad that they wanted to cry.

Mingdai was quick and with the help of two stoves, soon a basket of fried cakes and a large plate of shredded potatoes were out of the pot.

He took out two bowls, poured some maltose into each, and rinsed them with hot water. Then Zhou Sinian decisively left the stove and stared at the bowls on the chopping board.

"Drink it, be careful of the burn."

After being allowed, Zhou Sinian reached out and picked up the bowl, took a tentative sip, and little stars appeared in his eyes!

The water was too hot, but that couldn't stop him from slurping it up.

Mingdai looked at him and nodded with satisfaction. Even though he was crazy, he was still well-mannered at heart and was not difficult to teach.

I lowered my head and took a sip. It was a bit sweet, but I have to say that the food at that time was really good and tasted very sweet.

Pick up a pancake, make a small slit in the top to reveal the hollow in the middle, pick up a chopstick of potato shreds and Chinese cabbage and pickled vegetables and stuff them in, take a bite, the pancake is soft, the potato shreds are salty and fragrant, and the Chinese cabbage shreds are crispy!

Emma, ​​it's delicious!

I ate a lot of good food in my previous life, but none of them tasted as good as this.

I guess it’s because I haven’t eaten anything delicious in my current body, so my taste buds have been stimulated in a new way. In short, I’m very satisfied!

Zhou Sinian watched for a while, put down the bowl, picked up a pancake and imitated her in making a slit.

The first one used too much force and poked the head off. He frowned and studied it for a while, then pulled off the head of the pancake and ate it, and the middle part was naturally exposed.

Then she put the vegetables in it just like Mingdai did.

I was struggling with using chopsticks yesterday, but today I am very skilled at it.

After biting off most of the cake in one bite, Zhou Sinian's eyes began to spin with stars.

After a while, he had eaten seven or eight cakes.

Mingdai looked at him eating quickly but not rudely, and thought that they should buy a table, as eating while standing could easily cause gastroptosis.

Finally, Mingdai ate two cookies and a bowl of maltose.

Zhou Sinian ate 10! A bowl of malted milk.

I can’t afford it, I really can’t afford it!

After sending Zhou Sinian, who looked unhappy, to wash the pots and dishes, Mingdai stuffed the remaining biscuits with vegetables, wrapped them in greaseproof paper, and put them in her backpack. She also poured some maltose, wrapped them, and put them together.

Zhou Sinian was washing dishes while looking at her backpack, eager to take action.

Mingdai ignored him, locked her door, packed the tableware for both of them, put out the fire under the stove, and went out with her cross-body bag and a kettle of hot water.

Zhou Sinian followed closely, never taking his eyes off the backpack.

"Push the car out, we'll go to the mountain to collect firewood, and I'll give you some bread for lunch."

Zhou Sinian was very happy. Without Mingdai's instructions, he took the axe, rope and other tools and put them on the car.

Mingdai opened the door and let the car out.

I locked the door carefully and pulled it again. Hmm, it’s very strong.

Seeing Zhou Sinian pulling the cart very standardly, she negotiated with him, "How about you pull me along? I'll give you that sweet porridge at noon."

Zhou Sinian thought for a moment and nodded. Mingdai got on the car with a smile, holding the kettle: "Please pull slowly. If you pull too fast, the kettle will be damaged and you won't be able to drink it at noon."

Zhou Sinian stopped his movement to speed up and pulled the cart at his walking speed.

"Look! The madman is pulling the cart!"

"The madman's red headscarf looks pretty good."

"It looks good, do you want one?"

"I won't go. I'm afraid of getting beaten!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Zhou Sinian, who was wearing a red headscarf and pulling the cart, attracted most people's attention. For the time being, no one talked about Mingdai, who was sitting in the cart at the back.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the two of them left the car downstairs.

This time, they went deeper into the soil. At this altitude, few people from the village came up to chop wood.

This time Mingdai directly ordered the crazy people to chop wood, looking for some dead trees or tree trunks. They didn't dare to chop new trees, because they would be criticized if they were found out.

Dead trees are easier to cut down than new trees. In just one morning, they finished the whole day's work.

It was mainly Mingdai's waste firewood. All the firewood today was chopped by Zhou Sinian.

Looking at the neatly stacked wood, Mingdai couldn't help but sigh, what a good worker! She had struck gold!

At noon, Zhou Sinian climbed down from the tree as if by clockwork, threw away his axe, and looked at Mingdai eagerly.

Mingdai, who was picking leaves into a sack, was startled. She raised her wrist, took out her watch and checked it. It was exactly 12 o'clock.

Looking at Zhou Sinian with admiration, Ming Dai decisively let go of the sack.

After washing her hands with the kettle she brought, Mingdai found a wooden stake, spread out a piece of white cloth as a tablecloth, and took out today's lunch.

There were a dozen cakes wrapped in oil paper, each stuffed with vegetables.

Zhou Sinian became excited all of a sudden, he looked at it eagerly but didn't dare to reach out his hand.

"Eat it."

Mingdai spoke, and he pounced on the food like a puppy, holding a cake in each hand and eating with his mouth drooling.

Mingdai poured a teacup of maltose for each of them.

Zhou Sinian ate fried cakes and drank maltose, his eyebrows raised with joy.

Mingdai was also very happy. She hadn't eaten with anyone for a long time since the old man in her family passed away.

It feels pretty good to have someone like this by my side.

Soon, they both finished their cakes.

This time Zhou Sinian was full. Looking at his greasy hands, he wanted to lick them, but he was hesitant and didn't do so.

Mingdai ignored her and just put the things away and put them back.

After hiding the backpack and hot water bottle in a tree hole, the two of them took a break and started loading firewood.

Zhou Sinian is still the main force, Mingdai is doing odd jobs. There is not enough room in the car, so Mingdai plans to send it back first.

"Zhou Sinian, can you please pull the cart? Pull it home and I'll give you some candy."

Mingdai took out two pieces of White Rabbit milk candies and discussed with Zhou Sinian.

Zhou Sinian's nose twitched, and he took out the candy wrapper from his shirt pocket, compared it with the one in Mingdai's hand, and nodded after confirming it.

Mingdai smiled, opened one and stuffed it into his mouth, and put the remaining one into his shirt pocket.

Zhou Sinian took the candy wrapper as well, unfolded it, took out the previous few, stacked them together, and then put them back.

He patted his hands contentedly and was about to go pull the cart.

Mingdai quickly stopped him, walked to the position she had reserved and climbed up.

After sitting firmly and making sure she would not be thrown out, she patted Zhou Sinian on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! Saonian!"

Soon, the screams of the young educated youth were heard again on the mountain road.

However, this time, the voice was more filled with excitement.

Roller Coaster! Race!
