Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 148 Preparation for "Traveling"

"go home."

"?"

Si Ningning frowned, and a question mark appeared above his head, "Is there anything else?"

Huo Lang gave a low hoarse laugh twice, passed Si Ningning and said, "It's not dark yet, I'm going to pick grain from the fields, and you want to go too?"

Si Ning would rather not be able to pick up the big load of rice, so she followed Huo Lang out of the cattle pen, "You go pick the rice, I have nothing to do...you still told me to run this way with you?"

Si Ningning thought that Huo Lang had other things for her to do.

"You educated youth comrades have been to the town once since you came here, and the production team must not have made a good turn around, right? It's not a waste of time to show you the way."

As they were talking, the two of them had already reached the fork in the alley. If you turned left, you could go around to the pigsty, and if you turned right, you would go to the team to go to the warehouse.

Huo Lang was going to the warehouse to pick up the load, so as soon as he walked out of the alley, he turned to Si Ningning and said, "Okay, you go and do your work. Go back early when you're done."

These words made people listen, as if she was sticking to him on purpose.

Si Ningning let out a "hum" indifferently, and just took a step out with the bucket in his hand, before taking a step back again after a while.

She grabbed the remaining cucumber from the bucket, stuffed it into Huo Lang's arms, and then left without looking back.

Looking at Si Ningning's airy and arrogant back, Huo Lang shook his head slightly, feeling a little funny.

Is it a young girl...

Huo Lang felt so emotional in his heart, and at the same time turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

After Si Ningning finished taking care of the pigpen, he entered the space again.

She wandered around the space a few times, picked some cucumbers and vegetables that were in line with the current season and were basically grown by the production team, and then went out of the space to return to the educated youth spot.

The staple food for dinner is the sweet potatoes and sorghum rice that everyone handed in the night before.

The sweet potato Si Ningning is boiled directly in the pot, and then a steaming plate is placed on top of the sweet potato. The washed sorghum rice is scattered and packed in several bamboo tubes.

If anyone left a lunch box in advance, they would put it in the lunch box and steam it over water.

While cooking the staple food, Si Ningning dug out the two lotus root that Chen Lianmi gave her yesterday. She washed and removed the green garlic from the space, and quickly cut it into sections.

After that, heat the oil in the pan, stir-fry the lotus root slices until the color changes slightly, pour in the green garlic, add salt and chicken essence and continue to stir-fry until the lotus root slices are raw, scoop some water in the gourd ladle and circle around the edge of the pot Pour it in, cover the pot and simmer for a while.

In less than a minute, there was a "sizzling" sound from the pot. Si Ningning lifted the lid of the pot and put it aside. Hot mist rushed towards her face. She slapped her palms to see clearly what was inside the pot. When the lotus root was in the mouth, the crescent moon frowned severely.

The lotus root was still milky white just now, but now it looks like it has been poisoned, with lilac bruises, and I don't know which step went wrong...

Si Ningning picked up a small piece with chopsticks and tasted it. It didn't look very good, but fortunately, the taste was exactly the same as what grandma made in memory.

Si Ningning found a plate to put it on, then filled the pot with three ladles of water, and threw the dried mushrooms soaked in advance into it.

The fire is high, about 3 minutes, the pot has begun to boil.

Si Ningning added salt and chicken essence to it, added a little oil and sesame oil, and then sprinkled a pinch of chopped green onion, stirred with a spatula, covered the pot and simmered for more than 20 to [-] seconds, and then began to cook.

Just as he brought the lotus root and soup to the big table in the main room, Si Ningning planned to go back to the kitchen to mix some refreshing cucumbers, but saw Jiang Yue bowed his waist and hugged his belly and plunged into the room with his head, but in the blink of an eye, he rushed out quickly the door.

Thinking about the clothes that Jiang Yue washed before, Si Ningning understood what was going on.

Probably my aunt's blood collapsed...

"Wow, today is so rich!"

Li Lingyuan walked into the main room with an enamel jar, and looked at the dishes on the table with emotion.

Si Ningning smiled helplessly, "Isn't everything the same as before? One soup and one dish."

"That's different! The lotus root and the soup are rich in oil and water." Li Lingyuan looked around carefully and asked, "Oh, Si Zhiqing, where did you get this lotus root?"

Li Lingyuan knew about the dried mushrooms ordered by the educated youth. Si Ningning had picked them up at the foot of Nanshan Mountain before. Because there were too many to eat, he tried to dry them and made them into dried mushrooms.

The lotus root was sent by Chen Lianmi. During the lunch break, the male educated youths were not present, so Li Lingyuan didn't know about it.

Si Ningning briefly explained what happened, and Li Lingyuan sat at the table and sighed, "The uncle and aunt on our team really take good care of us."

"Isn't it?"

While talking, other educated youths came back one after another.

"Hey, on the way back, I caught up with Aunt Chunhua picking vegetables and stuffed a lot of tomatoes." Song Shuhan pushed the straw hat in his arms to the table, and pushed the frame of the mirror with a gentle smile, "I wanted to say no, but Auntie said I couldn't make it in time." If you eat it, you will be harmed by magpies and turtledoves. I saw that the tomatoes I kept for myself were bent over, so I didn’t refuse.”

There is a whole hood of tomatoes, big ones, small ones, some are reddish, and some are green and yellow.

In addition to three meals a day, no one has any snacks for entertainment. When they saw so many tomatoes at first glance, their mouths started to sour.

Song Xiaoyun looked around at everyone's expressions, and suggested: "Would you like to share these?"

"I think it's fine."

"I also think it's okay, it's okay to keep two of them and make soup later."

Everyone's opinions were basically unified. At this moment, Li Lingyuan suddenly looked at Si Ningning: "Si Zhiqing, what do you think?"

The eyes of the others followed Si Ningning.

Li Lingyuan asked this question entirely because Si Ningning was in charge of cooking at the educated youth spot, so why should he take into account the thoughts of the cook?

How to say something?
Make bricks without straw.

If you don't leave something for people to cook, and there is no food on the table later, you might even complain about Si Ningning, going back and forth, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Song Xiaoyun pursed her lips, lowered her head slowly, and grasped the trouser legs in front of her knees with both hands.

It's so hot, and working in the fields is so exhausting!

Tomatoes can still quench their thirst when they are brought into the field. Do you have to ask Si Ningning for permission on this matter?

Song Xiaoyun really felt panicked.

Si Ningning is probably the one with the most knowledge among the female educated youths. She has a lot of reasons. Song Xiaoyun thought that Si Ningning must have a lot of excuses, so she declined everyone and arranged for them to do something else.

However, it does not.

"Okay." Si Ningning nodded and agreed simply.

Song Xiaoyun raised her head, shaking her head in surprise.

But I heard Si Ningning say again: "I was also stuffed with vegetables by my aunt when I came back. I gave you a handful of green garlic, two eggplants, and some small cucumbers. The eggplants can be kept for two days, so I don't have to worry about food for the time being. Everyone Divide among yourself."

"It just so happens that I'm a little busy tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to deliver water to everyone." Si Ningning's deer eyes shook, and he added this sentence at the end.

Song Xiaoyun stood up suddenly, "Then tomorrow I..."

When she heard that Si Ningning would not be able to deliver water tomorrow, Song Xiaoyun actually wanted to declare that she could do it for her, but Jiang Yue came in from the door before she could finish her sentence.

"Then leave it to me to deliver the water tomorrow." Although Jiang Yue looked pale, her voice was very loud.

Jiang Yue looked at Si Ningning, "How busy are you? Can you cook? If not, I'll arrange it together tomorrow."

Jiang Yue's family conditions were pretty good before, so she couldn't be considered pampered, but she never did any heavy or grueling work.

After I went to the countryside, because of planting rice seedlings, I soaked in the water for a long time before, and my aunt was feeling all kinds of uncomfortable when she came back.

The calf and stomach are swollen, and the embarrassing thing is that on the way back just now, Jiang Yue could feel the blood overflowing to the base of her thigh, and it continued to flow down...

This is not only physical torture, but also psychological.

Tired of work, Jiang Yue can grit her teeth and carry it, but this is really not possible.

Si Ningning looked at Song Xiaoyun, then at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue's complexion was bleeding and yellow, and she looked really uncomfortable. She pondered for a while and said: "I can make breakfast, and then everyone's lunch will be prepared together. I don't think I will come back at noon. If someone needs Hot meal, you help me."

"Okay!" Jiang Yue nodded quickly.

There were male educated youths present, and it was not easy to talk about the girl's visit to the aunt. Si Ningning pushed Jiang Yue and said in a low voice, "Xiaoyun also wanted to pick her up just now. The work of water, you can explain it to her when you have time."

Si Ningning didn't know when Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun quarreled, but she knew that Jiang Yue regarded Song Xiaoyun as a friend.

These two people are now cold-faced and ignoring each other, Si Ningning thought, maybe this time is a good chance to reconcile.

But in the final analysis, this is a matter between Jiang Yue and Song Xiaoyun, and it has nothing to do with Si Ningning. She has created the opportunity now, and everything else will follow the fate and be developed by themselves.

After the meal, the educated youths either stood under the eaves, or went to the well to wash the lunch boxes. Some were far away, and they even shouted a few words when talking.

The dark moonlight is getting thicker, and this time of the day has become the busiest and happiest time for the educated youth spot.

The male educated youths were laughing and laughing. Across a wall, the female educated youths covered the windows with their clothes and took off their clothes one by one to wash.

I usually sleep or something, and I don't think the room is small. Now there are several pots on the floor in a row. The girls are naked, squatting and standing, not to mention panicking, but also crowded.

Si Ningning doesn't like others to look at her, it will make her feel uncomfortable, so at this time, of course, she will not look at others.

When the other girls took a bath, Si Ningning fetched a basin of water, wiped her face behind the door a few times, and then climbed into bed.

In the second half of the night, when the other girls were sound asleep, Si Ningning got up again and went into the space to wash thoroughly.

Not long after he came out of the bathroom, Si Ningning nestled on the sofa in the living room and ate half of a watermelon comfortably. Thinking that he would go out tomorrow, and there was a high probability that he would not come back at noon, Si Ningning wondered if he should bring something to eat.

If so, what should I bring?
Rice flour and other foods are inappropriate, Si Ningning thought for a long time, and suddenly had an idea.

The weather is so hot, what could be more suitable than refreshing Liangpi?
As soon as he thought about it, Si Ningning got up and went straight to the kitchen. After taking flour, salt, and water, he took the corresponding proportions and poured them into the basin together. After that, he kneaded and kneaded the dough.

Si Ningning doesn't know how to cook many meals by himself, but he has seen a lot of dishes at his grandma's, and his eyes and brain have memorized all the steps of those dishes.

This time the Liangpi was not learned from my grandma, but it has some relationship with my grandma.

A certain summer vacation in Si Ningning's high school, it might be the freshman year or the second year of high school, she can't remember clearly.

At that time, grandma couldn't get out of bed for half a month because of appendicitis surgery. Grandpa called and asked her to accompany her to relieve her boredom.

Of course she went without thinking.

Grandpa and grandma...

Even though the family conditions were good, the old couple lived a very conservative and poor life, guarding the villa refurbished by Si Ningning's mother a few years ago, without a housekeeper or servant in it.

During that time, the daily chores were taken care of by grandpa alone, and Si Ningning stayed with grandma besides taking care of her own affairs every day.

Seeing her grandpa busy every day, as a junior, she felt very guilty and embarrassed, so she tried to collect various videos on the Internet, planning to take over the cooking work.

Grandpa and grandma loved her, but in the end they didn't let her succeed.

Although she didn't succeed, it laid the foundation for her cooking skills.

This is really...

"Harmful……"

Si Ningning sighed softly with his lips curled up. He was obviously smiling, but the corners of his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.

The thoughts came back, and the kneading was almost done under the hands. Si Ningning washed the dough basin, put the dough in the basin and took half a basin of water under the faucet.

After putting the basin on the table, Si Ningning turned around and found the strainer and another brand new stainless steel basin under the cabinet.

When things were almost ready, she began to wash her face.

The dough was swollen, and half of it came out of the water. Si Ningning flattened the dough and submerged it completely in the water, and then kneaded and washed it repeatedly by repeatedly pushing it apart and folding it tightly.

In the past half an hour, the dough has shrunk by three-fifths, most of the "face" has been washed out, and the gluten strength is gradually reflected in the hand, so the hand feels soft from the beginning and becomes more resistant .

Si Ningning put the strainer on the stainless steel basin, filtered the kneaded batter through it, took out the filtered slag and dough and put them in the basin again, received the water and continued kneading until the dough shrunk by half again, completely showing the embryonic form of gluten She stopped.

The kneaded batter was poured back into the previous basin through the strainer, and then Si Ningning put the basin into the upper shelf of the refrigerator.

Liangpi can’t be made all at once. Before putting it in the pot, the washed batter still needs to stand. Then skim off the excess water and only take the bottom part of the sediment.

Calculate the time, usually three or four hours is enough, and the space and the outside belong to different planes, and the flow rate of time is different. When the other educated youths go to work in the morning, she will have time to enter the space again.

Si Ningning calmed down, now she is very energetic and not sleepy at all, so she just dealt with the gluten.

Afterwards, I shredded cucumbers, mashed garlic, listed all the seasonings to be used, and put them on the storage table in the middle of the kitchen, so I can use them when I come in tomorrow.
