Chapter 31 Bacon and Potato Rice
The next day, Xue Ning got up to take a shower.

I rested all night last night, and today I have recovered a lot.

While brushing his teeth in the yard, he saw Mu Yu running over from him with a bowl.

"Sister, wake up!"

Xue Ning spat out the foam in his mouth, "Little fish, it's so early."

Mu Yu opened her mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, "I start early every day, sister, this is the vegetable porridge my brother made, and he asked me to bring it to you."

Xue Ning's eyes widened instantly, in disbelief, "Your brother asked you to give it to me."

"That's right! He said that you usually take good care of us and often give us food. We can't eat for nothing, we have to reciprocate."

Mu Yu took out another ointment from his pocket, "Sister, you cut the wheat for so long yesterday, you must have scratched your hands, this is ointment, please apply it quickly."

Xue Ning was even more surprised, "Your brother asked you to give me this ointment."

"Well, it seems that my brother bought it specially, because we don't usually have this at home."

Mu Chenghe, who was hiding under the eaves over there, frowned, and really wanted to beat Mu Yu up.

Obviously he didn't explain it like this, the brat will really make trouble for him.

Mu Chenghe's ears were a little red.

Xue Ning happily took the bowl and ointment from Mu Yu's hand.

Early in the morning, the mood is as sweet as eating honey.

"Xiaoyu, thank your brother for me, just say, I cook rabbits tonight, you ask your brother what kind of rabbit he wants to eat."

Mu Yu thought it was a courtesy, so she went back happily.

Xue Ning was in such a good mood today, he took the bowl back to the kitchen and ate up the big bowl of porridge.

Although the porridge didn't taste very good, Xue Ning still felt that it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten, second only to the food cooked by Xue's mother.

She was not willing to use the ointment, so she put it in her pocket, and was going to take it out when she went to find Mu Chenghe later and ask him what he meant.

After dinner, it was still early, so Xue Ning took a catty of white noodles to Grandma Liu's and returned with a catty of mung beans.

Put the mung beans into the casserole, add the right amount of water, and then add a few pieces of old rock sugar.

The casserole was slowly cooking on the stove, the fire was not too high, and at this speed, mung bean porridge could be eaten at noon.

When Xue Ning was cutting the wheat yesterday, he saw that the people who cut the wheat together did not go home for lunch. Some of them either brought their own dry food and ate a few pieces to fill their stomachs while resting, or some of them had their meals delivered by their family members. The purpose is to facilitate more work and earn more work points.

For rural people who earn work points to support their families, racing against time is the most positive thing.

Although Xue Ning didn't want to bring food, he could prepare the food in advance and eat it when he came back at noon.

She is going to make rice with bacon and potatoes.

This kind of rice is the most fragrant especially when it is cooked with firewood.

Xue Ning cut about a catty of bacon brought from the Shanghai stock market, washed it in hot water, and cut it into slightly thicker cubes.

Potatoes are also cut into evenly sized cubes.

Heat the pot and pour in the bacon and stir-fry. Stir-fry the fat from the bacon, then pour in all the potatoes and stir-fry, add some soy sauce, chicken essence, and salt to taste, stir-fry evenly, add an appropriate amount of water, and finally put the half-cooked and drained rice into the pan. Come out and spread evenly on the bacon and potatoes, cover the pot, and simmer on low heat. After 20 minutes, a pot of bacon and potatoes rice is ready.

Xue Ning put the cooked rice in the pot, and it was time to go to work, so he locked the door and went to the field.

Today is still harvesting wheat, and it has entered the stage of harvesting. Most people in the village are sweating and working in the wheat fields.

With Xue Ning's experience from yesterday, today's work is easier than yesterday.

It's just that the bandaged wound on my hand still hurts, but these are small things and can be tolerated.

Today Cao Sicheng was still wandering around the field in bright clothes, but because there were too many people, he didn't have the nerve to harass Xue Ning.

At noon, everyone began to find a shady place to rest and eat the dry food they had brought.

Xue Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked for Mu Chenghe in the rice field.

She saw that Mu Chenghe was also in the field just now.

Looking around, he just met Mu Chenghe who stood up.

Mu Chenghe's heart moved, he quickly looked away, went to the field and found a big tree to sit on the ground.

Then he took out two pancakes from his pocket and ate them.

He ate very fast and ate a piece of pie in a few strokes.

Just eat dry and don't drink water.

Not far away is the second room of the Mu family.

Mrs. Mu is eating multigrain steamed buns with sauerkraut soup. It tastes delicious, sour and spicy.

Mu Chenghe rolled his eyes in disgust, and muttered, "Eating a few pieces of broken cakes every day, it's a good thing to cut off relations with his family." Otherwise, it would be her old woman who eats broken cakes.

That thing is constipated, and sooner or later she has to be sent away.

She doesn't eat.

Some villagers joked, "Mrs. Mu, your eldest grandson is choking on eating pancakes, you should send him some soup!"

Mrs. Mu quickly drank the soup in the bowl, "I have severed ties with him long ago, I don't want him, and he shouldn't miss me either."

The villagers were speechless, their palms and backs were all grandchildren, but she was very partial.

The villagers didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, so they didn't say much.

Xue Ning had already returned home.

There is a strong aroma in the kitchen.

The mung bean porridge is also ready, and the bacon and potato rice in the pot are also ready.

I took a jar and filled the mung bean porridge, and took two bowls, one big and one small, and the bowls were full of rice.

Put the two bowls of rice into the food box, took the chopsticks, and brought two more empty bowls, then took the jar filled with mung bean water and went to the wheat field.
