Cheng Mingyue skillfully fried the shredded potatoes and placed them in a bowl.
She first scrubbed the pot clean, then added half a pot of water to it, filled the stove with durable firewood, and left it alone.
Lifting the bowl covering the dough, Cheng Mingyue found that the dough had risen. She kneaded it again and then divided it into two parts.
Cheng Mingyue plans to make hand-rolled noodles today.
The orphanage's director was a native northerner, and her favorite food was noodles.
In order to allow the headmistress to eat more delicious meals, Cheng Mingyue put a lot of effort into researching pasta.
Mixed sauce noodles, pulled noodles, hand-rolled noodles, knife-cut noodles, hand-pulled noodles, stewed noodles, pulled noodles, Yangchun noodles, hot dry noodles...
Cheng Mingyue is not only very proficient in noodles from all over the country, but she has also learned most of the foreign noodles by following videos.
So now making hand-rolled noodles is a piece of cake for Cheng Mingyue.
Before long, noodles of even thickness were rolled out on the chopping board.
Next comes the cutting.
This is a piece of cake for Cheng Mingyue. She doesn't even need a rolling pin. She can cut noodles of uniform width with her bare hands. It feels like she has measured them with a ruler.
But in order to prevent people from thinking she was too powerful, she cut it casually so that no one could see any flaws.
Cheng Mingyue sprinkled some cornmeal on the cut noodles to prevent them from sticking together, then put them aside and rolled out and cut another portion of dough.
At this time, the water in the pot also boiled.
Cheng Mingyue filled a small basin of water and put it aside, intending to deliver it to her family when she served the meal.
Cooking noodles is even simpler. Cheng Mingyue put half of the noodles into the pot, stirring it a few times with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When the water boils, she adds some cold water to the pot.
After repeating this three times, she took out the noodles.
Repeat the same process for the other half of the noodles.
Cheng Mingyue made a lot of noodles today, filling up more than half a basin!
Cheng Mingyue was thinking about losing weight and didn't want to eat at all. She just prepared the juice and waited for them to go to the river bank. She would pour the juice on the food, mix it, and start eating.
Making the sauce was a piece of cake for Cheng Mingyue. She easily added the seasonings into a large porcelain bowl, and finally took out a pair of chopsticks to stir it, and the sauce was ready.
The air is filled with a sour and spicy aroma that whets your appetite.
Cheng Mingyue was about to deliver the meal, but at this moment she became worried.
A large bowl of noodles, a large bowl of shredded potatoes, a large bowl of warm water, and a large bowl of juice.
How could she possibly carry so many things by herself?
Cheng Mingyue thought about it for a while and decided to go home to see if her mother and sisters-in-law had returned. If they had, they could help her deliver the meal.
As soon as Cheng Mingyue stepped out of the house, she saw her mother Wang Guihua rushing towards her house.
Cheng Mingyue went up to her quickly and said with a smile, "Mom, please walk slowly and don't be in a hurry!"
"I'm worried that you'll be tired of cooking at home alone, so I thought of coming over early and asking you to come home with me for dinner."
Wang Guihua looked at the scratches on Cheng Mingyue's face that had faded a little, feeling very distressed, and said.
As soon as Cheng Mingyue returned home that day, Wang Guihua saw the blood marks on her face. She was so angry that she wanted to find the second son's wife to argue with her. In the end, she was stopped by Cheng Mingyue, who told her everything that happened. Although she was still angry, she was not an unreasonable person.
Even if this matter is revealed.
But Wang Guihua was still a little worried, fearing that the blood mark would not heal. Now that she saw only a little light pink mark left on Cheng Mingyue's face, she finally felt relieved.
"Mom, I've prepared the meal. You've come just in time. Please help me deliver it to Dad and the others."
Cheng Mingyue said this, took Wang Guihua's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Wang Guihua took one look at the chopping board overflowing with food and was so angry that she slapped Cheng Mingyue on the back. "You silly girl, why don't you know how to save money? Such a big bowl of noodles and shredded potatoes, isn't that a waste!"
Cheng Mingyue was not angry at all, and comforted him cheerfully:
"Mom, I know you're worried about my future, but don't worry. I earn ten work points a day as a scorekeeper, and Lu Chen earns eight, so we won't starve."
Seeing that her mother no longer looked heartbroken, Cheng Mingyue continued:
"Besides, repairing the canal is very tiring. Dad and my brother are exhausted every year after repairing the canal. I can make some delicious food to nourish them."
How could Wang Guihua not understand this? She has always been frugal, and when she suddenly saw Cheng Mingyue spending so lavishly, she really couldn't accept it for a while.
But now after hearing what Cheng Mingyue said, she had nothing to say.
She felt relieved that her daughter still cared about her family after getting married.
Wang Guihua gently touched Cheng Mingyue's head, her eyes moistened, and she murmured to herself, "My Yue'er has really grown up..."
Finally, Cheng Mingyue and Wang Guihua went back home with the food, gave some to Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan to eat first, and then the two of them walked briskly towards the river.
Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan felt warm in their hearts as they looked at the noodles in their bowls.
In the past, they had to cook after work. If the food was not to their sister-in-law's taste, she would be very unhappy with them. Sometimes her words would even make them choke and unable to recover for a long time.
I didn’t expect that my younger sister has really changed and become more sensible.
The two of them each picked out half a bowl of noodles and shredded potatoes, leaving them for Xiaolong and Xiaohu to eat when they came back later.
By the river.
At noon, the women all went home to cook, and the men had more than an hour to rest, but everyone was so tired that they could not straighten their backs, so naturally no one went home.
In previous years, women would prepare meals and bring them to the riverside.
This year is no exception.
Just as the men were sitting or lying in the shade to rest, Cheng Mingyue and Wang Guihua came over with food.
Since Cheng Mingyue cooked early, they were the first to deliver the meal to the river bank.
Wang Guihua invited the village chief and his two sons to come over for dinner, while Cheng Mingyue walked up to Lu Chen and whispered:
"Lu Zhiqing, my mother and I have brought the food. Come over and eat with my father and my eldest and second brothers."
Lu Chen was a little nervous at first, worried whether Cheng Mingyue would come to bring him food.
Now seeing Cheng Mingyue standing in front of him with a smile on her face, he couldn't help but chuckle.
The girl looks so well-behaved now, completely different from how she was when she was confronting someone this morning.
His heart.
A little itchy.
But it was only for a moment, and Lu Chen wanted to slap himself twice.
Lu Chen glanced at Cheng Mingyue beside him and muttered to himself, "Still so fat! Still so fat! Still so fat!"
