Chapter 144 Making Noodles



Although Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei admired Xiao Yi Zhiqing, they were both old aunts who had lived for decades and could not afford to be outdone by a little girl like Xiao Yi Zhiqing.

Each of them took a piece of dough and started to roll it out. Yi Qingqing was beside them instructing them, telling them where they needed to roll it a little longer and which position was more labor-saving. She taught them step by step.

Once you have rolled out the sandwich dough like this, you have almost mastered the art.

Next, the three of them worked together, with Yi Qingqing occasionally checking the quality, and together they rolled out the remaining sandwich dough.

"This roll of noodles is really tiring. It's just right for the whole family to make it, but making it for so many people is more tiring than working in the fields!" Aunt Dongmei and Aunt Guihua were sweating while rolling the noodles.

Yi Qingqing also had a little sweat on her nose.

"That's right. But it's very cost-effective to make noodles with sorghum flour. Xiao Yi, the educated youth, what should we do next?" Aunt Dongmei was very interested in learning this method of making noodles that saves food and tastes good. It was worth the effort. After rolling out so many dough sheets, they have completely mastered the essence.

"Then it's easy. Just spread out a few sheets of sandwich dough, stack them together, cut them into thin strips with a big knife, and then cook them."

Yi Qingqing said.

She demonstrated by cutting half a fan of dough, and Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei understood.

When Sun Lai Di was chopping wood, she couldn't help but look over here. Did she really make noodles?

"Go pick some vegetable leaves from the field behind the house!" Aunt Guihua saw that she was looking around and had almost finished chopped firewood, so she told her to pick some green onions from the field behind the canteen. When she cooked the noodles, they would be more fragrant and look better.

The piece of land was not big, and the team used it to grow seasonings for cooking at that time, including onions, ginger and garlic.

Yi Qingqing didn't plan to elaborate on the taste of this noodle, mainly because the seasoning was limited, and with so many people eating, more seasoning would be needed, so she was too lazy to bother.

In fact, just add some salt to make it a little salty, and sprinkle some chopped green onions to enhance the flavor, and that's about it. It will restore the most authentic taste of the ingredients, and the light noodle soup will also be more thirst-quenching for everyone.

It was almost noon and the sun was still quite strong outside. Everyone was working desperately to harvest the crops. They could only go to the shade of the trees to drink some water when they had time. They were sweating profusely and were seriously dehydrated. The slightly salty noodle soup could not only quench their thirst but also replenish salt in the body.

"Your aunt Dongmei and I will take care of the noodles. You rolled the most dough today, so you can take a rest. I'll serve you a bigger bowl later so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor." After Aunt Guihua finished speaking to her, she said to Sun Lai Di, who had just picked and washed the green onions and brought them in, "You can light the fire later. We'll cook in four pots at the same time. Add more water and make more noodle soup!"

"Yes!" Sun Laidie quickly agreed.

Finally, I’m one step closer to the stove. When the food is almost done, the closer I am to the stove, the more chances I have to get some delicious food.

Isn't this what makes working in a big cafeteria so attractive?

She didn't hear the first half of Aunt Guihua's words, and still thought Yi Qingqing was a fool. The results were about to come, but she was running away and hiding. She couldn't even catch up with the hot shit.

"Thank you, aunties, for your concern for me. My hands are really sore!"

Yi Qingqing did not rush to do the work, but pinched her arm as if to relieve the pain.

She took some powerful pills, but she wasn't actually that tired and her arms weren't that sore, but others didn't know that!

People still need to learn to pretend to be weak appropriately. If you always tell others that you are not tired and can continue to persevere, then slowly, more and more work will be assigned to you, and there will always be a time when you can't hold on any longer.

So leave some room for yourself and some room for improvement next time, so that others will remember your kindness. Otherwise, you may not only be treated like a cow, but others may also feel that you have energy that they have not yet used, and they will continue to put more work on you. You do more work than others, but do not get the benefits and rewards you deserve.

This is commonly known as being taken advantage of. Otherwise, why do people always say that the honest people are bullied?

And this wasn't really her slacking off. She had been working very hard before. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms.

"By the way, did you bring your bowls and chopsticks? We have to bring our own bowls and chopsticks when we eat from the big pot. If you didn't bring any, go back and get them now. It's still early and the noodles can be cooked quickly."

Aunt Guihua remembered this and gave a reminder.

"I really didn't bring it. I didn't even know we would eat in the canteen during the autumn harvest!" Yi Qingqing said.

Not only her, but all the other new educated youth didn't know.

But they could still go back to the educated youth center to get the food during the day to drink water or go to the toilet. I spent the whole morning just rolling noodles and didn't even go to the toilet.

It is already very time-consuming to make hand-rolled noodles from this big pot of rice, and it is even more difficult to make wrapped noodles.

Today is my first day in office and I want to show everyone my skills to show them that they chose the right person and I have not let them down.

Later, as Aunt Guihua said, it was impossible to eat pure grains for every meal. We had to mix in some wild vegetables or something, otherwise the grain would not be enough.

So there is no need to make this wrapped noodle anymore.

Yi Qingqing said something to Aunt Guihua and the others, then went back to the educated youth center to get her lunch bowl.

In fact, she already had the dishes and chopsticks in her portable space, but she had nothing to do at the moment, so she went back and took a look at how Qiushou did it.

The most important thing is that she wants to watch someone carrying manure.

This brings us to the new update of the Golden Book this morning.

Li Mengxue and her friends discovered that Lu Xianjin, who had fallen ill and turned from a gentleman into a weak gentleman, was assigned to the manure transport team of the autumn planting group.

This was purely a coincidence. Although Yi Qingqing and the others had wanted to instigate the village chief to send him to sweep the pig pen to ruin his image with the smell of feces, Lu Xianjin was like a fool and said whatever he wanted. Gao Xiaoxiang heard it and solved the problem in advance, and the matter was never resolved.

Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was still involved with feces. It seems that the village chief is also very knowledgeable!

Li Mengxue, Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling had already "watched" without leaving a trace, so she couldn't be absent either. How could the show be watched without her?

Through the golden book, Yi Qingqing has already figured out the manure transport team's work route, which just happens to intersect with her way back. She would be sorry if she didn't take a look at it.
