Lu Ze thought it looked good enough like this, but he didn't expect that he could embroider more on it.
"I want a five-pointed star!"
Lu Yilin puffed out his lips and gestured with his hands:
"Corn sausage."
Xu Niannian's smiling mouth froze. She heard something just now. Lu Yilin spoke.
Lu Huaijin had almost finished what was going on in the kitchen, but he was keeping his eyes on the outside. He was also stunned for a second.
Only Lu Ze jumped up excitedly:
"Good brother, can you speak now?"
He shed his brother's tears, as he thought his brother was really dumber than others.
However, after Lu Yilin said this, he stopped talking.
Xu Niannian pursed her lips:
"Then I'll sew you a sausage, right? Did you like the sweet milk tea I drank last time? If you like it, I can also sew you a milk tea."
Lu Yilin remembered the sweet taste and nodded immediately:
“Yes.”
Xu Niannian didn't expect that Lu Yilin, who would kill people in the future and have amazing brainpower, is now just a greedy pink ball.
I pinched his small face which was not puffy at all:
"Auntie will make you sausages at noon, okay?"
Lu Yilin originally wanted to step back, but after hearing these words, she just stood there and let her pinch her:
"I'll have three."
I ate two yesterday and still couldn't get enough.
Xu Niannian tapped the tip of his nose:
"Take two. If you eat too much, you won't be able to digest it."
Lu Yilin pursed his lips and had to agree.
Lu Huaijin came out of the kitchen with food in his hands:
"It's time to eat."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Yilin a few more times, wondering if this kid had been deliberately silent before.
Xu Niannian was embroidering at home in the morning. She didn't have time to go to the city to buy the colorful silk thread, so she could only use Sister Li's.
The breeze was blowing and the autumn temperature was neither too high nor too low. She felt very energetic even after embroidering for the whole morning.
After working for several hours, only the tail ends of the two schoolbags were left.
Xu Niannian was still the one who cooked lunch at noon. She put all the leftover sausages from yesterday into the space and slowly roasted them.
She started to work the dough, planning to make noodles with soybean paste for lunch. She had wanted to eat this dish very much when she watched TV series as a child. When she grew up and started cooking by herself, the first dish she learned to make was noodles with soybean paste.
It's just an adaptation based on my own taste, and it's not the authentic Korean noodles with soybean paste, but more like the capital's noodles with soybean paste.
After making the dough, cover it with a cloth.
The key to fried noodles with soybean paste is the sauce. She used to know how to make the sauce herself, but now that she doesn’t have enough time, she plans to just mix several ready-made sauces in the space.
I chose a piece of fatty pork belly from the space, cut it into dices, and put it in the pan when the oil was hot, slowly stir-frying the fat out.
Then pour in the sauce you just prepared and simmer over low heat. This is a delicate job and you need to stir it constantly. Finally, add in the scallions, ginger and garlic to add flavor.
The yard is already filled with the aroma of sauce.
The dough was almost proofed, so I rolled it into noodles. When I was preparing the ingredients, Lu Huaijin and the others came back.
"Lu Ze, come here and give this to your Aunt Li."
Lu Ze popped his head out and saw a few sausages on the plate.
"Remember to tell Aunt Li that the corn sausage is for Big Cow and Second Cow to eat."
The sausages cannot be stored well without a refrigerator, and she was also afraid that they would be eaten by mice at night, so she cooked the rest today.
I didn't have time to send anything to Mrs. Li in the morning, and I had to return the needle and thread I used.
"Take your brother with you and come back after you've delivered him."
Lu Yilin stepped on her little feet and looked at the kitchen counter.
If Xu Niannian hadn't been busy, she would have wanted to hit him on the head:
"Don't look at it, can it shorten yours?"
The two little guys walked hand in hand towards Aunt Li's house. When they got there, they didn't even say a word to Erniu and immediately ran back.
Lu Huaijin had already brought the noodles, vegetables and sausages outside.
As soon as the word "eat" is spoken, he eats faster than anyone else.
The same situation was happening at Da Niu and Er Niu's homes. Because the sausages were relatively small, Xu Niannian put eight in.
Erniu was very anxious. After taking a bite, the juice burst in his mouth. His eyes were wide open and he refused to speak. He ate one before he came to his senses:
“This is so delicious!”
He reached out his greasy little hand and took one. Although he was small, he knew how to count, and it was obvious that the number was two for one person.
Sister Li didn't care about him, so he quickly finished his portion and then begged others to give him a bite.
Of course others would not agree.
Sister Li said while chewing on a sausage:
"Xiao Xu has such skills that he can work in the cafeteria. The soldiers will be blessed then."
But I guess Captain Lu wouldn't be willing to give up the delicate and tender girl.
"Why do people always send us food? With your cooking skills, what can you give back?"
"Don't be mean to me. I ate the other one for you. It was to repay me for embroidering the schoolbag for you. I gave you the extra one."
As she said this, she pushed away the chopsticks that her man was about to pick up. Erniu immediately started to flatter his mother, after all, his mother was holding two chopsticks in her hands.
In the afternoon, Sister Li came to ask her out to the back hills:
"Let's just walk around outside instead of going inside."
Xu Niannian picked up the backpack and followed the others out. In order to go up the mountain today, she wore black pants, a slightly tight white long-sleeved top, and her hair was combed into a ponytail.
It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, giving it a casual style that looks like that of later generations.
Sister Li took a look at her. She looked unattractive in this outfit, but upon closer inspection, she showed off her figure and her plump forehead, which made her look young and pretty.
He muttered:
"No wonder Captain Lu couldn't help it."
"Ah? What did you say, sister-in-law?"
She didn't hear clearly.
Sister Li changed her words:
"The sausages you made for us at noon were really delicious. We have never eaten anything cooked like that. If you worked in the cafeteria, I don't know how many soldiers would have enjoyed it."
The food cooked by this person with good cooking skills tastes better than that cooked by those with poor cooking skills, using the same ingredients.
Xu Niannian lifted the loose hair on her temples. Now that she had drunk the spiritual spring water, her previously thin hair had follicles and started to grow again, making the loose hair difficult to manage.
"Sister-in-law, you really think highly of me. There are so many people eating in the cafeteria. I am good at doing delicate work, but I can't even swing the spatula to cook a big pot of food for so many people."
Sister Li looked at her fingers which seemed to be somewhat translucent in the sunlight:
"If you ask me, your delicate skin is really not suitable for this. If you burn it, Captain Lu will be heartbroken."
When Xu Niannian heard the joke, her face turned a little red. She didn't know whether she felt distressed or not, but if she collapsed on the bed exhausted and didn't want to move, Lu Huaijin would definitely not want that.
In a blink of an eye, they had reached the foot of the mountain, and a few military wives came over from the right and seemed to be going up the mountain as well.
When they saw Mrs. Li, they exchanged a few words and greeted her.
Seeing the military wife next to her, she felt unfamiliar, so Sister Li took the initiative to introduce her:
"This is Xu Niannian, the family member of Captain Lu."
Xu Niannian smiled at them and looked carefully. There was also a military wife whom she met on the train among them.
