Chapter 1718 Autumn Harvest Lunch
“Knock, knock, knock… knock, knock, knock…”
Lu Xiaoxiao had just finished frying the minced meat and sauerkraut when she heard a knock on the door, so she immediately put down the pot in her hand and went to the yard to open the door.
"How did you get so much flour?" Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the yard and saw Chen Guang standing at the door carrying a large bag of flour. The bag of flour looked like it weighed at least 100 kilograms, so she asked Chen Guang.
"Not much. They will definitely have more than one meal at your house. I might even have to carry another bag of flour."
"Okay, just take the flour straight to the kitchen."
"good."
After Chen Guang delivered the flour to the kitchen, Lu Xiaoxiao opened the bag of flour. Looking at the flour in the bag, which was not very white, she knew that the flour Chen Guang brought should be the Fuqiang flour of this era.
"Chen Guang, do your men usually eat so well?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Chen Guang while scooping flour from the bag into a basin.
"How is that possible? If they eat this every day, I will be bankrupt. I only give them steamed buns made from Fuqiang flour because they come to help you with the autumn harvest. Usually they eat porridge with cornmeal and steamed buns, and only eat steamed buns made from three-grain flour during festivals."
"It seems that they will be very satisfied with the lunch I made for lunch today. Even if it is not delicious, they will still eat it happily."
"That's a must. Not everyone can afford to eat steamed buns made with Fuqiang flour nowadays. It would be strange if they were not satisfied."
"Chen Guang, thank you so much for this time. I will treat you to hot pot after the autumn harvest."
When Chen Guang heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, he immediately put away his nonchalant look, then he looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with shining eyes and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"certainly."
"Haha... For the sake of hotpot, I'll help you make lunch today. Just let me know if there's anything you need me to do."
"You knead this bowl of flour into dough. I have already put the water and old dough in."
"good."
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, Lu Xiaoxiao steamed nearly two hundred steamed buns with the help of Chen Guang. Fortunately, her family had a big pot, otherwise she would not have been able to make so many steamed buns.
"Should we send them the steamed buns now?" Chen Guang asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I'll deliver it later. Help me put the minced meat and sauerkraut into the steamed buns." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took out a large bowl of minced meat and sauerkraut from the kitchen cabinet.
"The food you prepared for them is really good, with white flour buns and meat, it's almost as good as a festival."
"They came to the village to help with the autumn harvest because of me, so I naturally can't let them have bad food. Besides, autumn harvest is such a heavy work, how can they survive without some fat in their stomachs?"
"Okay, I'll help you pick up the buns now."
Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao saw that all the steamed buns in the dustpan were stuffed with minced meat and pickled cabbage, so she took out a huge piece of gauze from the cupboard and covered the dustpan, then said to Chen Guang: "Let's go and deliver lunch to them now."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao and Chen Guang carried the steamed buns to a tree next to the rice field, she said to Chen Guang, "You stay here and watch over the buns. I'll go to the field and call them over to eat."
"OK."
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the field, she saw the captain walking towards her, so she stood there waiting for the captain to come over.
"Xiaoxiao, today we are all grateful to the people you brought with you. They work so efficiently that one person can do the work of two people. At this rate, we can harvest all the rice in just two days." The captain came to Lu Xiaoxiao and looked at her with gratitude.
