SIAS Chapter 144.1

Although Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei admired Comrade Xiao Yi, they were both old aunts who had lived for decades and could not afford to be outdone by a little girl like Comrade Xiao Yi.

Each of them took a piece of dough and started to roll it out.

Yi Qingqing guided them beside them and taught them which position was more labor-saving and which one needed to be rolled for a while. She taught them step by step.

After rolling out a layer of dough, they almost got the hang of it.

Next, the three of them worked together, with Yi Qingqing occasionally checking the quality, and together they rolled out the remaining sandwich dough.

“This roll of noodles is really tiring. It’s just right for the whole family to make it, but making it for so many people is more tiring than working in the fields!”

Aunt Dongmei and Aunt Guihua were sweating while rolling the noodles.

Yi Qingqing also had a little sweat on her nose.

“That’s right. But it’s very cost-effective to make noodles with sorghum flour. Comrade Xiao Yi, what should we do next?”

Aunt Dongmei was very interested in learning this method of making noodles that were both food-saving and delicious. It was worth the effort. After rolling out so many dough sheets, they had completely mastered the essence.

“The next step is easy. Just lay out a few layers of dough sheets and stack them together. Cut them into thin strips with a big knife and cook them.”

Yi Qingqing said.

She demonstrated by cutting half a fan of dough, and Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei understood.

When Sun Laidi was chopping wood, she couldn’t help but look over there. Did she really make noodles?

“Go pick some vegetable leaves from the field behind the house!” Aunt Guihua saw that she was looking around and had almost finished chopping firewood, so she told her to pick some green onions from the field behind the canteen.

When she cooked the noodles, she would add some green onions to make them more fragrant and better-looking.

The land was not big, and it was where the team planted the seasonings for cooking at this time, including onions, ginger, and garlic.

Yi Qingqing didn’t plan to elaborate on the taste of this noodle, mainly because the seasoning was limited, and with so many people eating, more seasoning would be needed, so she was too lazy to bother.

In fact, just add some salt to make it a little salty and sprinkle some chopped green onions to enhance the flavor, and it will be almost done.

It will restore the most authentic taste of the ingredients, and the light noodle soup will also be more thirst-quenching for everyone.

It was almost noon and the sun was still quite strong outside. Everyone was working desperately to harvest the crops. They could only go to the shade of the trees to drink some water when they had time. They were sweating profusely and were seriously dehydrated. The slightly salty noodle soup could not only quench their thirst but also replenish salt in the body.

“Aunt Dongmei and I will take care of the noodles. You rolled the most dough today, so you can take a rest. I’ll serve you a bigger bowl later, so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.”

After Aunt Guihua finished speaking to her, she said to Sun Laidi, who had just picked, washed the green onions, and brought them in, “You can light the fire later. We’ll cook in four pots at the same time. Add more water and make more noodle soup!”

“Yes!” Sun Laidi quickly agreed.

Finally, she was one step closer to the stove. When the food was almost done, the closer she was to the stove, the more chances she had to get some delicious food.

Wasn’t this what made working in a big canteen so attractive?

She didn’t hear the first half of Aunt Guihua’s words and still thought that Yi Qingqing was a fool. The results were about to come, but she was running away and hiding. She couldn’t even catch up with the hot shit.

“Thank you, Aunties, for your concern for me. My hands are really sore!”

Yi Qingqing didn’t grab the work and pinched her arm, as if to relieve the pain.

She took the Dali pills, so she wasn’t actually that tired and her arms weren’t that sore. But others didn’t know that!
