She never expected that the old woman who seemed quite powerful on weekdays was so weak in fighting ability.
After just a few words from Yue Yue, he was completely confused and didn't know which way was which.
At this time, Yue Yue looked at Aunt Zhang's back as she walked away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she quickly cut another half bowl of fresh and delicious pig offal and walked towards the ladies who had spoken to her just now.
Yue Yue said to the ladies with a face full of gratitude: "Thank you so much for speaking up for justice. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved today."
"You don't know, she just said I was fleecing the country, which scared me a lot. I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation."
As he said this, he handed the bowl of pig offal to the ladies.
The ladies stared at the temptingly colored and fragrant pig offal in the bowl and swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
The smell is so fragrant that just smelling it makes people salivate and their appetite is stimulated.
One of the women reached out and gently patted Yue Yue's shoulder, comforting her, "Good child, don't bother with that kind of person. She's always been like this. She can't stand other people living better than her, and all she does all day is gossip about other people's affairs. Who in our village doesn't know her character? No one bothers to pay attention to her!"
After saying that, the lady readily took the pig offal that Yue Yue brought.
Seeing this, the other ladies also accepted the gift with a smile and thanked Yue Yue repeatedly.
They happily took the pig offal home, thinking that they must let their children at home taste this rare delicacy.
However, the aunts who had been watching this farce without saying a word could only stare at the backs of the aunties as they left, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
They regretted it so much. If they had known that they could get such delicious pig offal by saying a few words for Yue Yue, they should have been brave enough to stand up!
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. I can only watch others return with full loads while I am left empty-handed.
The villagers who came to help started digging the foundation enthusiastically early in the morning. Everyone tried their best and their clothes were soaked with sweat, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost noon. While working, these hardworking people couldn't help but wonder what kind of delicious food would be waiting for them at noon.
At this time, Yue Yue, Li Xin and Liu Lili were very busy.
The kitchen was filled with fragrant aromas as they meticulously prepared lunch. Working together, the three of them kneaded and mixed over twenty pounds of flour, then rolled it into evenly thin sheets before slicing it into long, thin noodles.
In addition to hand-rolled noodles, they also steamed dozens of large and soft buns, using up all the flour they had specially purchased for this occasion.
On the other side, Li Rui skillfully swung the noodles and then threw them into the boiling pot accurately.
In just a short while, white water splashed in the pot, and the noodles rolled up and down with the boiling water, and soon floated on the water surface.
At that moment, Liu Lili hurried out of the kitchen and shouted outside: "Fellow villagers, the noodles will be cooked soon! But we don't have enough bowls and chopsticks here. Can everyone go home and get their own bowls and chopsticks first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone who had been working hard immediately stopped what they were doing, looked up, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
Then, they put down the tools in their hands without hesitation, ran home like a gust of wind, quickly picked up their own bowls and chopsticks, and rushed back to the makeshift kitchen without stopping.
After arriving, everyone lined up consciously, rubbing their hands, and couldn't wait to taste this sumptuous lunch.
Li Rui carefully picked up a large bowl and skillfully used chopsticks to scoop out noodles of even thickness and distinct strands from the pot.
In a short while, the bowl was filled with noodles, like a small hill.
Yue Yue on the side was also busy. She held a large spoon and scooped out a full spoonful of braised pork offal from the fragrant braising pot beside her, and poured it steadily on the pile of noodles.
The villagers who were working hard suddenly brightened up their eyes when they saw the big bowl of noodles and the generous amount of braised food in front of them.
They didn't care how hot the noodles and pork offal were, and couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and gobble them up. All they could hear was the sound of "slurp, slurp" one after another, which was very lively.
The noodles are chewy and springy, and each one is full of chewiness, as if dancing on the tip of the tongue.
Then pick up a piece of pork offal just out of the pot and put it into your mouth. The steaming feeling instantly fills your entire mouth, and the rich aroma hits your nose.
The pork liver is tender and juicy. A light bite will release delicious juice, and the taste is extremely delicate. The pork tripe is elastic and makes a "crunching" sound when chewed, which is very chewy.
As for the pig intestines, they have a unique fragrance that leaves a lasting impression.
The villager in front ate like crazy, looking as if he had been hungry for days.
The people waiting in line at the back couldn't stop drooling just by looking at it.
As time went by, Li Rui and Yue Yue kept busy, delivering bowl after bowl of delicious noodles and tempting braised food to everyone.
Finally, with the unremitting efforts of the two, all the prepared noodles and pork offal were distributed.
Fortunately, they were smart enough to reserve some food for themselves, otherwise they would have starved after finishing their work!
After all this busy work, I am really exhausted.
Fortunately, Yue Yue and the others had already agreed beforehand that they would only provide this free meal today, and would not provide meals in the following days. Instead, they would include this part of the cost in the wages.
According to local customs, on the first day of building a house, everyone can be treated to a sumptuous meal, which is also for good luck!
After dinner, the villagers returned to their respective jobs to continue working.
Some of them were moving bricks and tiles, some were building walls and grouting joints, and some were mixing mud and sand... Everyone was working hard, while Yue Yue and the others stood by, sometimes directing the construction progress, sometimes helping to pass tools or something.
In this way, with everyone's concerted efforts, the construction of the new house is progressing in an orderly manner.
