Chapter 77: A bowl of fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup, a smile in the courtyard
“I… want it!”
Huang Siyu hesitated slightly and then nodded firmly.
If there was a chance to return to the city, she would certainly hope to fight for it.
"That's right, you want it. Then treat this song as if it was written by you! Just listen to me!"
Bai Wei patted Huang Siyu's hand.
At least this song might really help Huang Siyu and change her current destiny.
"Sister-in-law, this song is so beautiful, can you sing it again?"
All the warriors sat under the eaves, even Song Qinian leaned against the door, looking at Bai Wei with a smile on his face.
"Weiwei, I want to listen too."
Looking at the expectant faces of the soldiers, Bai Wei just smiled. At this moment, Liu Xiaojun brought Xu Sanduo, and the two of them actually walked into the yard carrying the organ.
"Sister-in-law, we brought the organ and drums with us. They are all in the car!"
Looking at the organ in front of him, Bai Wei turned his head and walked to Song Qinian's side.
"Captain Song, everything is ready, we just need the right momentum! Please cooperate with us in the rehearsal!"
No one knows what kind of medicine Bai Wei Hulu sells.
But Song Qinian gave an order and picked out seven strong men, and they took all the drums off the cart.
Under Bai Wei's command, everyone actually started rehearsing.
This training lasted the entire afternoon, and until dark, the soldiers still felt unsatisfied.
Song Qinian learned it after just one try. He took the other warriors back to the house and made furniture while listening to Bai Wei's humming outside.
The sound of Huang Siyu's organ became more and more pure the more she played it, and coupled with the sound of drums, the effect was amazing.
If Song Qinian hadn't chosen a small courtyard in the remote family compound, the commotion would have attracted everyone in the family compound.
"Thank you, everyone! Thank you! You all did a great job training!"
Bai Wei walked out of the kitchen, holding a basin filled with fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup.
She had just taken the time to do this while Huang Siyu was practicing drumming with the warriors.
The fermented glutinous rice and eggs were all given to me by my sisters-in-law.
"Come on, thank you for your hard work. Today, conditions are limited, so I can only make you some sweet soup! Come and try it."
Fortunately, Bai Wei and Song Qinian went to the county town before and bought some bowls, but with more than ten people, it was obviously not enough.
The soldiers didn't mind, and three or four of them drank the sweet soup from one bowl.
In the past, on the battlefield, they even used broken tiles to collect water to drink. It was not a big deal for several people to share one bowl.
"This...this fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup is so delicious! Come and try it!"
Liu Xiaojun took a sip first and immediately jumped up with his eyes wide open.
The fermented glutinous rice is cooked to perfection, the egg flowers are spread out like silk, and it is smooth in the mouth, especially the sour and sweet taste, mixed with the rich heat, which instantly blooms on the taste buds.
"I'll have a bowl too!"
"I want to drink too!"
"Hey, give me a bowl!"
The warriors all tried a sip and jumped up, vying to drink it.
The bowl of fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup was quickly snatched up by everyone. Xu Sanduo even picked up the bowl and poured it into a bowl. He really didn't want to waste a single drop.
"Captain, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are truly amazing!!"
"That's right! I've never tasted such delicious fermented glutinous rice and egg drop soup!"
"Sister-in-law, next time there is work, call us and we will come! Working people is the most glorious, let's work for soup, okay?"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, Bai Wei smiled helplessly.
"If you like it, come to my house after the performance tomorrow and I'll make it for you again!"
It’s true that time is limited, otherwise Bai Wei would really like to get some other food to reward them.
After all, seven people rehearsed with him that afternoon, and their arms were sore from beating the drums, but they didn't even cry out in pain.
The others followed Song Qinian to saw wood and make furniture. No one was idle.
"Okay! Okay! Let's come back tomorrow!"
Everyone roared with excitement.
Liu Xiaojun glanced at Song Qinian who was still making furniture in the house, then glanced at everyone and said.
"It's getting dark, and the work is almost done, let's go!"
"Yes, yes, let's go. Goodbye, little sister-in-law!"
"See you tomorrow, sister-in-law!"
The soldiers all had honest smiles on their faces. When they left, they saw Huang Siyu sitting next to the organ and reading the music score. After thinking for a moment, they also raised their hands.
"Goodbye, Mr. Huang!"
"Teacher Huang, see you tomorrow!"
Huang Siyu's song today completely amazed the warriors.
When she led them in beating the drums, she was gentle and serious, which refreshed the sour impression she had left in the soldiers' hearts.
"Ah...bye-bye!"
Huang Siyu, who had always been ignored, was greeted by someone for the first time.
She was stunned for a moment, waved her hand cautiously, and nodded to everyone.
"Teacher Huang, good luck in tomorrow's performance!"
Liu Xiaojun smiled at Huang Siyu, clenched his fist, and signaled her to cheer up.
Huang Siyu also smiled and nodded vigorously.
"Xiaoyu, you've worked hard today. Go back and have a good rest."
Bai Wei took out two aluminum lunch boxes, one filled with butter and the other filled with stewed beef.
"Is this... all for me?"
Huang Siyu looked at the aluminum lunch box filled with beef, it must be at least one pound!
"No, Weiwei, you're giving too much..."
Huang Siyu pushed the aluminum lunch box away and shook her head. This was a pound of beef, worth a lot of money!
"Here, just take it! Aren't you going to give it to Xiaogang? And you're so skinny, so eat more meat! Take this butter yourself, add a little when cooking, it's very fragrant."
Bai Wei forced the aluminum lunch box into Huang Siyu's arms.
Looking at her smiling face, Huang Siyu said seriously.
"Weiwei, I will do my best in tomorrow's performance! I will never let you lose to Tang Xuemei!"
"Okay, I believe you!"
Bai Wei sent Huang Siyu out of the house. When he turned around, it was already dark. The warm light from the house was spreading out, and he could still see Song Qinian's back, who was hammering nails seriously.
"Song Qinian, you..."
Song Qinian had been busy all day, and Bai Wei wanted him to have a quick rest. She walked to the door and just as she opened her mouth, she suddenly stopped talking.
