Chapter 47: The first meal in the new home, tomato and egg noodles



Su Ruanruan turned and entered the east room, and at the same time opened the panel of Taojinjin to search for fruit candy.

The omnipotent gold digger did not disappoint Su Ruanruan at all. He quickly found the same fruit candies as the ones she bought, all wrapped in cellophane.

Su Ruanruan placed the order quickly and received the goods in a moment.

There was no special words on the wrapping paper. I opened one and looked inside, and there were no special patterns or characters on the candy.

After making sure there was no problem, Su Ruanruan rewrapped the candy and mixed it with the ones she had bought before.

Su Ruanruan came in carrying a basket and put half a pound of sugar in the basket.

He opened the oil paper wrapping the fried dough twist and took out half of it. He then opened the peach cake and took out six pieces of peach cake and put them into the oil paper wrapping the fried dough twist.

Putting down the fried dough twist in her hand, Su Runrun carried the basket and walked out.

After leaving the gate and turning left, you will arrive at Niu Guifang's house not far away.

The gate was open and in the yard two boys were squatting over a large basin washing their faces and hands.

Before Su Ruanruan could walk in, Niu Guifang came out of the house holding a towel, followed by a little girl of three or four years old.

Niu Guifang saw Su Ruanruan at a glance, "Sister Ruan, why are you here? What's the matter?"

"Sister-in-law." Su Ruanruan said as she walked into the yard, "It's nothing. I just brought the basket to you."

Niu Guifang had already arrived in front of Su Ruanruan. Upon hearing this, she reached out to take the basket and said, "Is this worth the trip? What's in this basket?"

"Nothing. I went to the department store this morning and bought some candies and snacks for Zhengjun and his siblings. It will also sweeten their mouths."

"You don't have that many, just give them one each--"

"Sister-in-law!" Su Ruanruan said seriously, "Sister-in-law, you treat me as an outsider, right? Then I dare not ask sister-in-law for vegetable seeds, nor do I dare to ask sister-in-law to take me to get chicks."

Niu Guifang looked at Su Ruanruan helplessly, and finally sighed deeply, "Okay, then I'll accept it. Sister, your name is strangely soft, but your personality is really not soft at all.

Zhengjun, Zhengqi, Zhenghong, hurry up and thank your aunt."

Niu Guifang’s husband’s surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Aiguo.

Xiao Aiguo named his three children Xiao Zhengjun, Xiao Zhengqi and Xiao Zhenghong respectively.

They are all names that are very characteristic of the times.

It was the first time for the three children to see Su Ruanruan, and they all looked at her curiously.

After knowing that Su Ruanruan gave them candies and snacks, they smiled and thanked in unison, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Su Ruanruan looked at the three children tenderly, "You are so good. You're welcome. Sister-in-law, you are busy. I will go back to cook."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll come find you this afternoon."

"Okay!"

After leaving Xiao's house, Su Runrun returned home feeling relaxed.

She had only been here for a short time and was not yet accustomed to the enthusiasm of people in this era. She always wanted to have give and take and did not want to owe anyone anything.

Even though she knew Niu Guifang meant well and didn't expect anything in return, she still couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

Giving something back, no matter how much, is always better than accepting gifts from others for nothing.

After entering the yard, Su Runrun closed the door and then quickly went into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Fu Wenjing had already washed all the dishes and basins, lit the fire in the stove, and added water to the pot.

"Wife, what are we going to eat for lunch? Is there anything else I can do?"

"You are really capable!"

Su Ruanruan praised, and then thought for a moment and said, "We have tomatoes and eggs, and the weather is hot, so why not make some tomato and egg noodles, and add some shredded cucumbers, along with the pickles and soybean paste we brought. It will definitely taste good."

Fu Wenjing nodded repeatedly, "I know it's delicious just by listening to it! Then I'll knead the dough, and you cut the vegetables, wife."

Su Ruanruan looked at Fu Wenjing in surprise, "You also know how to knead dough?"

"No, but I will learn. Wife, tell me how to do it."

Being studious and inquisitive is a very good virtue, and Su Ruanruan did not discourage Fu Wenjing's enthusiasm.

"Okay! First scoop half a ladle of standard flour, then scoop a large ladle of black flour, add a pinch of salt, and add water in small amounts several times until all the flour is kneaded together.

The noodles can’t be too hard, or they won’t be easy to roll, and they can’t be too soft, or they will turn into noodle soup.”

There are rolling pins at home, one thick and one thin. Fu Wenjing said that he bought it together with the knife, but he has never used it in such a long time.

Fu Wenjing washed the rolling pin and chopping board in the morning and placed them in the yard to dry. Now they can be brought in and used.

Although it was his first time kneading dough, Fu Wenjing did it quite well.

I don’t know if it’s because Fu Wenjing has a quick learning ability or he’s just very strong, but he managed to knead the dough in just one go.

Su Ruanruan reached out and poked the dough. The dough was a little hard for her.

But looking at how skillfully Fu Wenjing rolled the noodles, you could tell that it was just right for him.

No wonder people say that hand-rolled noodles need to be made by someone with strong hands, as they will be more delicious and chewy.

I don't have the strength, so even if I can knead the dough like this, I can't roll it into noodles.

Seeing that Fu Wenjing had already rolled out the noodles, Su Runrun did not waste any time. She washed the tomatoes, cut them and put them in a large bowl, picked a handful of beans, and finally cut the green onions and ginger, and put them all aside for later use.

There are two pots on a stove, a big pot in the front and a small pot in the back.

Su Ruanruan poured the water from the small pot into the big pot and let it continue to boil. When the small pot was dried up, she poured a layer of oil into it and then poured the two beaten eggs into it.

If you want the eggs to taste good, you must add more oil, otherwise the eggs will get burnt and lose their original flavor.

The eggs must be fine, so Su Ruanruan served them out.

At this time, the pan is still full of oil. There is no need to add more oil. Just put the onion and ginger in and stir-fry.

When the scallions and ginger are fragrant, add the tomatoes and beans and stir-fry. Finally, add the eggs, sprinkle some smoke, pour a little soy sauce and add water.

The two of them didn't eat much noodles, but Fu Wenjing was very strong and could roll the noodles quickly. Su Runruan had just finished stewing the vegetables, and he started cutting noodles with a knife.

The noodles were cut into pieces as thick as leek leaves, sprinkled with a thin layer of flour and shaken apart. Each strand was clearly visible and not a single one was broken.

The water in the big pot was boiling at this time, and Fu Wenjing put all the noodles in.

Su Ruanruan took this time to wash a cucumber and cut it into shreds for later use.

The noodles are cooked after being boiled three times. They are then taken out, rinsed with cold water, and served in two small yellow enamel bowls.

Pour the tomato and egg topping, add cucumber shreds, and add a spoonful of soybean paste.

Such a small bowl of noodles looks colorful and fragrant.

Even before eating, Fu Wenjing had already praised her, "My wife's cooking skills are really good, just like a chef!"
