Chapter 152: Eating a Meal



The news about wild vegetable dumplings for lunch today has spread. When the whistle sounded for the end of work at noon, everyone ran to the cafeteria with a lot calmer steps.

There's nothing special about wild vegetable dumplings. Everyone has them anyway, and there's no need to rush. Working is tiring, and running takes energy.

Only Sun Lai Di's family ran the fastest. They heard that Yi Qing Qing picked up five pheasant eggs yesterday and there would be egg soup for lunch. If they ran faster and stood in front of their family members, they would easily get the egg soup. Those who ran behind could only drink clear soup.

When they ran to the cafeteria, they stood in front of Sun Lai Di, panting.

Sun Lai Di was indeed assigned to make soup today.

Because Aunt Guihua and the others all knew that Sun Laidi liked to take the best things to her own home the most, and she always favored her own family when serving meals.

Although it is human nature to be partial to one's own family, sometimes it is too ugly and easily causes dissatisfaction among others, so generally the allocation will be done in a place where she is not likely to make small moves.

Normally, if she made egg soup, she would always put all the eggs into her family's bowls.

If she wasn’t really better at picking wild vegetables than anyone else, and the wild vegetable dumplings she made were not more tender, and if the chances of making sugar with eggs were not rare, who would choose her?

The reason she was assigned to make the soup this time was because no matter how hard she scooped the flocculent egg drop soup, she could not scoop out just the egg drops without the soup.

In comparison, wild vegetable dumplings are easier to make.

They had each taken an extra vegetable dumpling and a large bowl of soup in advance.

If Sun Lai Di came to distribute wild vegetable dumplings, maybe she would secretly stuff two into my pocket.

At this moment, Sun Lai Di's family became the first wave of customers in the cafeteria today. They looked into the pot and were dumbfounded. "Didn't they say there were only five eggs? There must be more, right?"

"..." Sun Lai Di's heart ached, as her family had hit a sore spot. She said unhappily, "It's just five eggs. Bring the bowl closer!"

The other villagers who arrived late were also surprised when they saw the pot of soup.

"Where do all these eggs come from?"

"If I had known there was egg drop soup I would have come earlier!"

"What? Only five eggs? You must be kidding, right?"

The question of how many eggs were used in the two pots of soup became a hot topic of discussion at noon today.

"There are only five eggs. When we went to pick wild vegetables yesterday, Xiao Yizhiqing picked them up. There are only five. Look, the eggshells are all there, not one more, not one less! We watched her make this egg soup, it's authentic!"

In this case, Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei would repeat it every once in a while.

The same goes for Yi Qingqing. If someone asks, she will tell you the trick to making the egg drops so finely. This requires much less technical skills than yesterday's wrapped noodles, and you can get the general idea just by describing it orally.

Although many people still don’t believe that it is so easy to make such a soup, those who are thoughtful have remembered Yi Qingqing’s words and plan to go back and give it a try.

Although each family can raise fewer chickens now and eggs are very precious, many families can still afford this egg.

Moreover, we are busy with the autumn harvest recently and are very tired. Every family is trying to improve their meals so as to avoid exhausting themselves and having to spend more money on medical treatment.

Those who were complaining that the wild vegetable dumplings were too ordinary and wanted Yi Qingqing to show off her skills shut up when they saw this pot of soup.

Even though there were only five eggs, the soup in everyone's bowl tasted like eggs in every sip.

Li Mengxue was the calmest person after seeing this soup. In order to save costs, don’t restaurants in later generations also like to make egg soup this way?

But she had only drunk it and didn't know exactly how it was made.

However, the wild vegetable dumplings opened her eyes. This was the first time she had seen this thing. Even her original body had only lived in the city before and had no memory of eating such things.

Eat it while hot. If you take a big bite, you will feel a little choking. It is not like things made of wheat flour, which are very soft. If you take a big bite and chew it twice in your mouth, it will shrink by half and is very easy to swallow.

She felt she couldn't swallow the wild vegetable dumplings without the egg drop soup.

After finishing the meal, Yi Qingqing came out holding two bowls with lids.

They went back to the educated youth camp together. When there were no outsiders on the road, Yi Qingqing fell a few steps behind and came to Yun Guyuan's side: "Ayuan, are your two wild vegetable dumplings full? I have an extra one here, do you want one?"

She moved the bowl in her left hand a little further away, revealing three wild vegetable dumplings inside.

As for Yi Qingqing herself, two dumplings would make her feel full. At noon, when the team distributed wild vegetable dumplings, each adult received two and each child received one. This was already a lot for a female comrade, but for a male comrade, it was probably not enough and he would only be half full.

"Yes!" Yun Guyuan held his bowl under his armpit and took a wild vegetable dumpling from Yi Qingqing.

He knew that when many men in the team returned home, the women at home would give them some food.

Now he has it too!

"And this soup, I made a big bowl and I can share some with you," Yi Qingqing said again.

She couldn't afford the extra benefits of being the "canteen aunt". When she heard Zheng Xiaolong say that he was not full yesterday, she thought that if she couldn't finish the food, she could share it with Yun Guyuan.

"Okay," Yun Guyuan agreed straightforwardly.

The wild vegetable dumplings and soup were secondary. The key point was Qingqing's concern for him, which fascinated him so much.

"Everyone in the cafeteria will take extra for themselves if they cook. It would be bad if I don't take some. From now on, I'll ask A Yuan to help me finish the extra food to avoid waste!"

Yi Qingqing said this because she was afraid that if she gave it to him too often, he would feel psychologically burdened.

In the past, whether she was teaching him how to cook or they were cooking together, Yun Guyuan would never take advantage of her. He would even always find ways to give her a little more and help her with more work.

Section 93

She knew he wasn't the kind of person who would take advantage of others with a clear conscience.

Zheng Xiaolong, who was standing by, stared at the wild vegetable dumplings and egg soup in Yun Guyuan's hands, which were full of love, and sighed.

He is jealous!

Li Mengxue was in the middle of a couple's love affair. When she heard Zheng Xiaolong sigh, she glanced at him and saw him staring at his wild vegetable dumplings. "I can't finish them either. I'll give you this! But I won't let you take the soup."

It's not that she couldn't finish it, but she thought it was too unpalatable. She planned to cook for herself when she got home. However, the egg soup was made by Qingqing herself. Even though the ingredients were limited, it was very fresh and delicious. She didn't want to let herself down. After all, she was a little reluctant to give up the delicious food.
