Chapter 151 Egg Drop Soup



The next day, Yi Qingqing dragged three aching "little cripples" to the threshing ground to gather.

"Xiao Yi, the educated youth, what are you going to make for lunch today?" asked the member who arrived first.

Yi Qingqing shook her head. "It's nothing new. It's just wild vegetable dumplings with soup."

"Really?" Some people didn't believe it. "Nothing else, another bowl of noodles will do!"

"We didn't mix wild vegetables into our first meal yesterday after the autumn harvest. If we don't mix them into every meal, we'll all go hungry later," Yi Qingqing said honestly.

"Loaches? There are so many loaches in the pond, and there are fish in the river!" Some people were still unwilling to give up. Although the wild vegetable dumplings eaten for free were not bad, who wouldn't want to eat something better?

"I was afraid to catch insects before, how could I catch loaches? Let alone fish. I dare not go down to the river," Yi Qingqing spread her hands, "A good cook cannot cook without rice!"

"Pfft, how shameless of you, you clever woman, hahaha!"

Li Mengxue changed the subject to avoid being asked more questions. She wanted to eat a big meal of fish and meat, but she couldn't do that even in her dreams.

Section 92

While they were playing around, no one else could get a word in, so they could only give up unwillingly.

Today's work is the same as yesterday's. Everyone took their positions and started working with their faces to the earth and their backs to the sky.

Yi Qingqing and the others also went to the cafeteria, and this morning they made wild vegetable dumplings with cornmeal.

Wild vegetable dumplings are a very common staple food on the folks’ daily dinner tables. Every housewife has tried to make wild vegetable dumplings more delicious without changing the ingredients.

I have studied wild vegetable dumplings thoroughly.

Yi Qingqing will not embarrass herself on this point. After all, she only knows how to make it. Corn flour is not as sticky and easy to knead as wheat flour. She doesn’t eat it much herself, so she hasn’t studied it much. Maybe she is not as good as Aunt Guihua and the others!

When Aunt Guihua asked her, she told the truth.

"It's okay, as long as you can do it," Aunt Guihua didn't think there was anything wrong.

Xiao Yizhi is so young, it is rare for her to be so capable, how can she know everything? It is normal that she can't do anything. Girls from other families are still learning in the kitchen, but Xiao Yizhi is already better than the older wives.

Aunt Dongmei also said: "With the package of noodles yesterday, you have fired the first shot. Everyone voted for you and it was a good deal."

Yi Qingqing nodded and looked at Sun Laidie.

Sun Lai Di was stunned and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me?"

"I thought Aunt Sun would mock me again. I would be so embarrassed!" Yi Qingqing said with a smile.

"..." Sun Lai Di chopped wild vegetables with a clanging sound on the chopping board: "I won't be fooled by you, if you have any clever tricks, just say it, don't waste your time!"

"Alas," Yi Qingqing sighed regretfully. It had been peaceful for quite a few days. It was worry-free, but a bit boring. It was hard to find someone to argue with, but the person only kept it going for one day and died down so quickly.

"You mischievous ghost, just tell me what you have in mind!" Aunt Guihua tapped Yi Qingqing's forehead unhappily.

"Isn't it just about making egg soup at noon? If you want everyone to have a bowl, you have to cook at least two big pots, with only five eggs in total. Probably not many people can scoop up a bowl with their chopsticks," Yi Qingqing said.

"What's the matter? With just five eggs, you can still let everyone scoop up a piece with chopsticks?" Sun Laidie yelled.

Isn't this just wishful thinking? There are only a few eggs, and if they are mixed with two large pots of water, they will disappear without a trace.

"Of course, egg flowers in flakes won't work, but flocculent ones are fine. One egg can make a whole pot of soup," said Yi Qingqing. "In fact, you just need to stir it."

"Stir it up? It was already formed as soon as it went in, and you scooped it out and chopped it up before putting it back in." Anyway, it was impossible to imagine what Sun Lai Di was thinking.

"Then just wait and watch how I stir it up," Yi Qingqing said.

Isn't the opportunity to slap someone in the face here again?

Everyone worked together to make the wild vegetable dumplings and steam them in a steamer. Then a few people peeled and sliced ​​the loofahs picked from the fields behind the cafeteria.

Aunt Guihua estimated the time before they started to cook the egg soup.

The other steps are similar. Boil the water and add salt. When it comes to beating the egg drops, Yi Qingqing holds the bowl of egg liquid a little higher with one hand, then slowly pours it, letting the egg liquid fall in a thin line.

At the same time, use the other hand to stir quickly with a spoon.

She stirred the water in the pot into a whirlpool, and as the egg liquid entered the water, it was naturally stirred into flocs by the centrifugal force.

Slowly, more and more tiny pieces of egg flowers appeared.

Pour half a bowl of egg liquid made from five eggs into the pot. The pot will be evenly covered with egg flowers. You can see the fine egg flowers with just a spoonful.

It may not be as chewy as flaky egg drops, but at least every sip of soup has the flavor of egg.

If you have water starch, it will be better to thicken it.

Use the same method to beat the remaining half bowl into another pot, and the two large pots of egg drop soup are almost ready.

"How is it?" Yi Qingqing bumped Sun Lai Di's shoulder, "Is it broken enough? Do you want to pick it up and chop it into pieces before going down?"

"..."Sun Laidie was convinced by Yi Qingqing. What's the matter? He was just staring at her, right?

She even felt that Yi Qingqing looked quite excited, as if the more she said to her, the happier she became.

Hey~ Who is this?

Sun Lai Di shuddered and rubbed her arms which were covered with goose bumps. "Oh, I have to go wash my dishes. The meal will be ready soon."

As he said that, he picked up the bowl and ran away.

Yi Qingqing: "..."

Why are you running? She hasn't finished her sentence yet.

Oh, it was boring. She missed Sun Lai Di who “moved forward courageously” yesterday.

How lonely it is to be invincible!

Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei were still standing by the pot, stirring the soup and admiring it.

"This egg drop soup is so pretty, each piece looks like it was carved out of the same mold, and they all float in the air without sinking to the bottom. If you make egg soup like this, one egg is enough for the whole family to eat. This is a great idea!"

"Yes, at first glance, the finely chopped egg looks like it was made with more than a dozen eggs. Who would have thought there were only a few?"

"This technique looks quite simple, why didn't we think of it? Xiao Yi Zhiqing is really amazing!"

"I'm going to try it when I get home today! They didn't enjoy the noodles yesterday, but we've learned that it's easy to be a family member."
