The weather is too hot and I don’t want to eat hot food. I saw some noodles in the cupboard and decided to make cold noodles. I just boil the noodles, rinse them with water and then pour the sauce on them.
I just happened to have eggplants so I made eggplant stew and put some fried dough sticks in it. I have to say that the fried dough sticks are really useful. Each person had a bowl of cold noodles and it was so comfortable.
Qin Chuchu thought the noodles were delicious so she asked, "What kind of noodles are these? They're so cool and comfortable!"
"Cold noodles, just use less seasoning, otherwise it would taste better." Lin Qiaoqiao sighed in her heart, now even noodles are delicious.
Wouldn't it be more delicious if I made cold noodles with hand-rolled noodles? There was white flour in the bag, but there was only so much. What was the point of not saving it?
Seeing that the little girl liked to eat it, he decisively took some from his own bowl.
"I want to lose weight and eat less, and Chuchu needs to eat more to grow!"
Qin Chuchu smiled happily because she liked eating this noodles.
Human babies are indeed the cutest. Lin Qiaoqiao recalled someone's words on the Internet.
After dinner, I started to work. I washed the eggplants, cut them into thin slices and took them outside to dry. With such a strong sun, I estimated that they would be almost dried by dark.
There was only one fish at night, so it seemed that I could only cook it into soup. I wanted to eat pancakes, so I mixed cornmeal and white flour into a dough and put it in a bowl to keep it awake.
Just as I covered the basin, I heard the sound of shaking the door outside. I went out and saw that it was Li Xiaoyan, holding a piece of purple cloth in her hand. I hurried out to welcome her in.
Li Xiaoyan's face was full of smiles. "I really couldn't wait any longer, so I took the fabric and came to your house shamelessly. What are you busy with? Why are you sweating so much?"
"I just kneaded some dough, using cornmeal and white flour, and plan to make some pancakes tonight." Lin Qiaoqiao saw the cloth in the other person's hand. The color was a little dark, the kind of dark purple cloth, but it was not impossible to make a skirt.
"I really want to make a skirt. No one in our village wears skirts yet!"
"Teachers are wearing skirts, so why can't we? I heard that people in big cities wear them like that. Besides, I will wear this skirt at home after I make it, and I won't walk on the street." Li Xiaoyan has never worn a skirt in her life. She only wore shorts underneath and bare legs. She just wanted to try the feeling of being naked.
Lin Qiaoqiao admired Li Xiaoyan very much. You know, she is a native.
"Then let me measure this piece of fabric for you and see how big a skirt you can make."
After Li Xiaoyan entered the house, she gave each of the two children three pieces of candy, which were White Rabbit milk candies wrapped in candy paper.
"Xiaoling, take your sister to play in the yard. Your sister-in-law and I will discuss something."
Qin Ling saw Lin Qiaoqiao nod, then he took his sister out.
The reason why she dared to agree to make the skirt was because the original owner's dowry included a sewing machine, which was very expensive. It could be said that it took up more than half of the Lin family's assets at the time, and after moving it in, it became a decoration.
She saw it when she was cleaning that day. With a sewing machine, she could make her own clothes. She first tried it with old cloth and eventually succeeded.
In any case, the children's clothes were made, and where a sewing machine could not be used, they were sewn with a needle.
The cloth was spread out on the kang. It was a large piece of material. Just visual inspection was enough, but she still took a ruler to measure it. After she had an idea in her mind, she said to Li Xiaoyan,
"You have a really big piece of material. I can definitely make you a skirt. I might even be able to make you a short-sleeved shirt. Do you want to think about it again?"
Li Xiaoyan heard that she could also make a short-sleeved shirt. There were tailor shops in the county town that charged labor fees, and making a piece of clothing was not cheap. Most families only had a few pieces of clothes, so they would have to pay someone to make it. After all, it was not easy to buy a piece of material.
"Okay, just do it for me! How about I give you two dollars as labor fee after you're done?"
"No need to pay!" Lin Qiaoqiao just wanted to help the other party.
Li Xiaoyan, "That won't do. One thing is for another. You make money by your craftsmanship, and others don't have this skill! Besides, you have a sewing machine at home. I was a little worried at first, but when I saw the sewing machine in the corner of your house, I knew that this dress could definitely be made!"
Lin Qiaoqiao originally wanted to help, but ended up making some unexpected money. She suddenly thought that if she could make money by making clothes for the people in the village, wouldn’t she be rich?
"Okay then! I will definitely do it well for you. Now let me measure your size!"
She found a cloth measuring tape from the box. I have to say that the original owner's family was very thoughtful. They provided her with a ruler, scissors, and thread.
He measured her height and asked, "Does the hem of the skirt also reach below the knee?"
"Okay, it can be longer. After all, no one in our village wears skirts yet. If someone sees it, it will be embarrassing." Li Xiaoyan said shyly, "Also, don't tell anyone about me asking you to make a skirt! I don't want to be seen by others. You don't know what people say about that female teacher wearing a skirt! And her skirt is weird, with a silk screen on it. I can't tell what it is. I have lived for most of my life and I have never seen it before."
Lin Qiaoqiao thought that the teacher must have a very rich family, but that possibility was very low. How much money could a family have for a teacher in the village?
But the fact that she can take out so many skirts to wear means that she must have some secret.
Secrets are the most difficult to uncover. Could it be the same as her?
Li Xiaoyan was in a hurry to go back to cook, so she didn't stay for long and said a few words before hurried back.
Lin Qiaoqiao drew lines on the fabric with chalk so that she could have a rough outline in her mind. She planned to cut it and make clothes tomorrow.
After finishing all this, it was almost dark and I just thought about cooking.
After putting my things in the closet, I heard the sound of a bicycle outside and wondered why he got off work so early today?
When I arrived at the outer room, I met an enemy who had left with Qin.
"I had something to do today and haven't had time to cook." Lin Qiaoqiao felt afraid to do anything and wanted to explain to Boss Qin.
Qin Fang saw the sweat on the woman's forehead and thought she must be busy inside, so he didn't think much about it. He was indeed back half an hour earlier than usual today.
"Don't worry. Lao Wang gave me a piece of tofu today. It's in the lunch box. You can use it to make a dish!"
Lin Qiaoqiao smiled immediately when she heard about tofu. "It can be used to make tofu fish soup. When I was washing clothes today, I killed a fish with my smelly feet. It was a crucian carp, perfect for making soup."
Qin Fang felt that the fish in the water were free of charge and he could even kill them with his stinky feet. You know, there are many people who want to go fishing. They use a lot of tools all year round, but they only catch a few fish.
This woman seems to have a cheat code. She can catch a fish just by going to the water.
"What about the staple food?"
