Yi Qingqing has made stewed loach with bacon several times at home, and has stored a lot of cooked ones in her space.
Compared with stir-fried loach, she prefers loach stewed with bacon.
There was only a small piece of bacon in the cafeteria, and it had to be shared among so many people, so no matter what we did before, not everyone could get a piece of meat with their chopsticks.
But now when it is used to stew loaches, the aroma and fat of the bacon will be absorbed into the soup and blend with the loaches, supplementing the loach meat with the oil and water that it originally lacks, and the deliciousness directly rises to a higher level.
In order to allow the oil to fully absorb into the loach meat, she only used cabbage stalks as the vegetable underneath, and did not waste the leaves, mixing them into the wild vegetable dumplings.
As soon as the aroma of the stew came out, the children were drooling with greed.
Aunt Guihua and the others also felt that all the hard work they had done before was not worth mentioning. The fragrance was so good that they felt greedy just by smelling it.
At this time, the autumn harvest summary meeting was already being held in the threshing ground, and the team leader's loud voice could be heard clearly in the cafeteria.
The aroma wafting from the cafeteria attracted the attention of members.
Captain Zhao Youtian's stomach was also protesting.
He finished speaking at the fastest speed about the autumn harvest summary, as well as the weighing of grain to pay the public grain tax, the distribution of grain within the team, and the matter of each family sending someone to the farm to help dig ditches a week later.
"Okay, meeting adjourned!"
In the big cafeteria, the little heroes who had caught loaches today had already lined up to get their meals. Each person got a big spoonful of food, which included loaches, cabbage stalks, and broth, and then some wild vegetable dumplings.
Yi Qingqing and the others served their own food first.
The members swarmed into the cafeteria. Whether they queued up or not was another matter. They first wanted to see what such delicious food was.
The old threshold of the cafeteria, which had stood firm for more than ten years, was trampled down.
"Line up! Line up! Everybody gets one!"
Seeing this, the team leader and the village chief came out to maintain order, and the team gradually became orderly.
But the fact that they were lined up did not stop them from standing on tiptoe to look forward, or taking deep breaths with their bodies rising and falling.
This fragrance is worth it if you take one more breath.
The four of them were busy getting food together. They were all experienced and quick, and soon everyone had a bowl of fragrant stewed loach and some wild vegetable dumplings.
With the stewed loach with bacon, today's rather substantial wild vegetable dumplings hardly seem to attract attention.
"After this meal, if you want to eat Xiao Yi Zhiqing's cooking, you have to wait until next year. Oh, I'm really reluctant."
"Xiao Yi, the educated youth, I will definitely support you next year. Just arrange for the stewed loach with bacon to be prepared one more time. You can use my kids as you like. Let them help catch the fish."
"Old Zhao, stop babbling and go home to eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
…
Everyone said nice things for free, and Yi Qingqing felt embarrassed by the praise.
Because there was less bacon and more loaches, the bacon stewed with loaches made this time was actually a little mediocre, but even so, the folks still praised it highly.
Yi Qingqing also patiently told everyone how to deal with loaches. She sincerely hopes that everyone can have more delicious dishes on the table and be healthier.
After the meal, the cafeteria gradually became deserted. Yi Qingqing and the others cleaned everything in the cafeteria before locking the door and leaving.
The cafeteria will not reopen until next year.
Yi Qingqing took her share of food and reunited with her friends.
"It seems that we educated youth don't need to weigh grain and pay the public grain. It's like we're having a long holiday starting from noon today, hahahaha!"
Li Mengxue smiled happily.
"Don't you want to go and see what's going on? I heard from many villagers that they want to go and see together!" Qian Lailai asked.
"No! I'm going to sleep soundly this afternoon to make up for the sleep I didn't get during this period! I'll relax for another day tomorrow. After the food is distributed the day after tomorrow, I plan to go to the county town to do some work. What about you guys?"
Li Mengxue is about to start making her mark. She won't have to work until early next spring, so she has plenty of time to develop her career in the black market.
She wants to make money, make money, and make more money.
In a few years, when materials are abundant, the things in her space will not be so easy to sell. She must save up her first pot of gold now so that she can keep up with the trend of the times and make a lot of money.
If you work hard in the next few years, you won’t have to worry about money in the future.
"I'm not going either. I have to hurry and make winter clothes," said Yi Qingqing.
"You can also make clothes?" Li Mengxue looked at her in astonishment.
"What's so strange about this? I can do it too!" Qian Lailai said as if it was nothing new.
Wang Lingling comforted Li Mengxue and said, "I can't do that either."
Li Mengxue now only wants to ask Yi Qingqing one question: Is there anything else you don’t know how to do?
"Forget it, I won't go and see. I have to go get some firewood now while it's not too cold."
Qian Lailai also planned to roll up her bags. She had already stockpiled firewood for the winter, but she could still get some more to sell to Li Mengxue, Zheng Xiaolong, Chen Zhihe and others!
"Come on, I also want to chop firewood. Can you teach me the trick? All the firewood I chop will be your tuition," Chen Zhihe's eyes were full of pleading.
"..." Qian Lailai snorted, "Whatever you want! The mountain is not owned by my family, I don't want your firewood!"
She didn't want to pay attention to him, but she felt bad because this meant she lost another customer!
Yi Qingqing and the others watched the eye-to-eye quarrel between the two and couldn't help but laugh.
During this period, Chen Zhihe had a slight awakening and became extremely diligent.
I had to follow her when fetching water, and when I was busy with things in my private plot, I had to follow her. If there were several people walking on the road, I had to walk as close to her as possible.
Then I took the opportunity to help her fetch water and do her work under the guise of learning how to farm. Now I want to help her collect firewood under the guise of learning how to collect firewood.
It's reasonable to learn this kind of thing. You just need hands to chop wood, so what else do you need to learn?
Yi Qingqing seriously suspected that this was an idea suggested by Comrade Yun Guyuan. It was similar to what he had done before, when he sent gifts to her under the guise of learning how to cook, except that what Chen Zhihe did was more obvious.
She glanced at Yun Guyuan meaningfully.
Yun Guyuan touched his nose guiltily.
