"Okay, sister-in-law, if you want a few, I'll go buy them."
"Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to buy oranges. I've saved all the glass jars we use for canning food. See if you can use them!"
Tian Mei pulled Ling Ju to the small warehouse. Ling Ju took a look and was surprised. "No wonder I only saw you eating canned food and never saw bottles."
There was a row of cans in the small warehouse, each of them clean and shiny.
These cans come in different sizes, but they meet her needs. She uses the small ones for giving as gifts and the large ones for her own consumption.
"Okay, Xiao Chen doesn't have to run away this time."
Chen Yun helped Ling Ju take the jars to the kitchen and saw two pots of sauce on the stove. "It smells so good! I can smell chili peppers."
Ling Ju washed her hands and took out a steamed bun that Tian Mei had made that morning from another pot. She cut it open, spread a thick layer of spicy beef sauce on it, and handed it to Chen Yun. "Try it?"
Chen Yun's eyes lit up when he saw the white steamed buns filled with spicy meat sauce.
He bought five pounds of beef and put Ling Ju in it. It must be so delicious!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly washed his hands. Then he took the steamed bun, took a big bite, and then his eyes widened, gesturing repeatedly, "Oh my god, sister-in-law, this is so fragrant! Spicy, but not too spicy! Delicious!"
"That's good. Is it tasty enough? Is it salty?"
“It’s slightly salty, perfect with steamed buns!”
"OK!"
Ling Ju glanced at the time and saw that it was already past one o'clock. Ling Dawei would probably be back soon. "Mom, Secretary Chen, you all go out and wait. I'll make lunch today. You guys wait and eat."
She washed a handful of celery, stir-fried it with green peppers, and added spicy beef sauce.
The second dish was a piece of steamed tofu with chopped green onions.
The third dish was stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Then she started kneading the dough, preparing to make hand-rolled noodles.
She mixes the dough with warm water in a ratio of 60:40 of cornmeal and white flour, and making the dough is no effort at all.
After a while, the kneaded dough was rolled into dough sheets of appropriate thickness, then folded up and cut into appropriate widths with a knife.
Just as the water was about to boil, Ling Dawei came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "What a nice smell! What a smell!"
Ling Ju looked through the window and found that Mo Ran had also followed her in. It was just right that she had made too much dough and was afraid that there would be leftovers. With Mo Ran's physique, he probably wouldn't eat too much.
"Mo Ran, you're here too! Just in time, dinner will be served soon!"
Mo Ran watched Ling Ju cooking noodles with his big eyes, then looked at the beef sauce on the stove, "Miss Ling, I've heard from Mr. Yan that your cooking is delicious. I didn't expect that I would have such a good time today!"
"Haha, it's a common occurrence. Go wash your hands and go into the house and wait!"
"Okay! Do you need my help?"
"It's okay, I can do it, go ahead!"
Ten minutes later, the noodles were cooked. Chen Yun came over to help carry a large plate of noodles, Mo Ran carried a few dishes, and Ling Ju filled two small plates of beef sauce and brought them in together.
Looking at the noodles and dishes on the table, a sentence suddenly flashed in her mind, "This is life in the countryside. Just four simple dishes, let's get started!"
"I didn't expect my daughter to cook today. I have to eat more. Mo Ran and Xiao Chen, you two should be polite too. Eat as much as you can. Don't leave any noodles in this bowl!"
Tian Mei picked up noodles for several people, and even picked up a lot more noodles for Chen Yun and Mo Ran.
Even the two of them used the largest bowls. "Mo Ran, this one is five-spice flavored, and this one is spicy. If you can't handle spicy food, try the five-spice flavored one!"
"Okay, then I'll go with the five-spice flavor. I can't really handle spicy food!"
"Is this considered mixed noodles today? This celery and chili mix smells really good!" Chen Chun exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's mixed noodles. Oh, and there's noodle soup in the kitchen. Anyone want some?"
Ling Dawei stood up and said, "I'll get a bowl over here, girl, put some spicy sauce on daddy's noodles!"
"Okay!"
Mo Ran took a big bite, "It's delicious! You can go out and sell sauce! There's so much meat! And in big chunks!"
Chen Yun added, "Second sister-in-law put in five pounds of beef, which is more meat than soybean paste. The oil is also spice oil, which tastes great with shoe soles!" After saying that, he also inhaled it madly.
Ling Dawei, who had just returned from getting the noodle soup, laughed when he heard Chen Yun say this. "Eat slowly! I'll pour you some noodle soup!"
"It's a pity that Song Qi left in a hurry, otherwise he could have eaten such delicious sauce." Ling Ju sighed. This man worked hard all night and left in the morning without a word.
I didn’t even get to eat any delicious food.
Seeing her like that, Chen Chun was too embarrassed to tell her that Song Qi didn't leave until 8:30 in the morning. Before leaving, he asked her and Tian Mei not to call Ling Ju, saying that she was tired last night and asked her to sleep more.
She is not a fool, she knows that young couples do a lot of activities at night.
But she was happy that her daughter-in-law could still think of her son while eating beef sauce. She was caring and would always leave a portion of delicious food for Song Qi.
"Hey, it's okay. We'll do it next time he comes back."
Ling Ju nodded. "Mom, when you go back tonight, bring two cans to Aunt Zhang. I divided ten bottles out. Give her one spicy one and one non-spicy one. And take the other non-spicy one back to Aunt Wang so she can add some when she cooks for Grandpa and Grandma."
"OK."
Ling Ju looked at Mo Ran again, "Mo Ran, when you go back I'll bring you two cans and you can take them to Mr. Yan."
"Okay, I'll thank Miss Ling on behalf of Mr. Yan."
"Don't call me Miss Ling anymore. Just call me Orange."
Mo Ran nodded, "Okay, actually I've wanted to call you that for a long time, but I was too embarrassed, hehe." Orange is so friendly!
Ling Ju looked at Chen Yun who was eating with relish, and the big bowl of noodles was almost empty.
I kept saying to myself, eat, eat more, I will ask you some questions after you finish eating.
