“Qingqing, what delicious food is there in the canteen at noon? We are relying on your cooking skills to survive!” Li Mengxue said pitifully, resting her head on Yi Qingqing’s shoulder.
“Noodles wrapped in clear soup.” Yi Qingqing said.
Yi Qingqing was afraid that Li Mengxue would be disappointed. The ingredients of this noodle were limited and it might not even be as good as the instant noodles she cooked herself.
“What’s wrapped in what? What kind of soup is clear soup?” Li Mengxue still held out hope.
“White flour wrapped in sorghum noodles, and the clear soup is the soup for cooking noodles.” Yi Qingqing said.
“This meal is only because it is the first day of the autumn harvest, so there are no wild vegetables mixed in. The staple food in the future may be wild vegetable dumplings or something like that.”
Li Mengxue was completely desperate.
There was no oil or water at all, and she had to do heavy physical work. Could her body really bear it?
For the first time, she felt what kind of life ordinary farmers lived in this era. The reward meal was just of this level. A skilled cook can not cook without rice. Even for Yi Qingqing, it would be difficult to make improvements without ingredients!
It seems that she still has to prepare something good for herself in the morning and at night, otherwise, her body may not be able to bear it.
“It’s good to have food. After all, we are eating public food. The autumn harvest lasts for nearly two months, so one more meal is a profit. I thought that the food I prepared would be insufficient for this workload, but I didn’t expect that the team would provide lunch during the autumn harvest. Now I can eat my fill. After the autumn harvest, we will distribute food, so I don’t have to worry about it later.”
Qian Lailai was very happy.
She knew that among the Four Golden Flowers, her conditions were the worst. Wang Lingling’s family provided a lot of support. Yi Qingqing was not only loved by her family but also capable. Although Li Mengxue was a little spoiled and her parents were not good, she had a good relative in the county.
She was the only one with whom she had to go by herself. Her family could only provide limited help, so when she went to the countryside, she brought things that her family had tried their best to save for a long time.
So, she had to rely on herself to have enough food and clothing. This felt pretty good, after all, she was already living better than many people.
Several people returned to the educated youth point. Some went to the toilet, some took bowls.
Then they separated at the intersection at the bottom of the slope. Yi Qingqing went back to the canteen, and the others continued to go to the fields.
Aunt Guihua grasped the time and started cooking noodles when she felt it was almost about time.
When the noodles were ready, the whistle for the end of work sounded outside on time.
As the cooks, the four of them could fill a full bowl for themselves and put it aside before everyone else arrived, or even eat it first.
When Yi Qingqing took out her bowl, Aunt Guihua, Aunt Dongmei, and even Sun Laidi looked at her as if she were a fool.
“Comrade Xiao Yi, why are you holding such a small bowl?” Aunt Guihua asked her.
Yi Qingqing looked at her bowl. It was not small. It was a small wooden soup bowl. It was a circle larger than the bowl she usually used for eating. It was just right for a bowl of noodles.
She was almost full with this size. She could still leave some space for herself to eat something else when she went back.
After all, although she ate in the canteen now, she saved time for cooking, and the time for lunch break was shortened by more than half, but at least, she still had an hour of nap time.
Yi Qingqing’s sleep effect was too good now. The rest time at night was enough. She didn’t plan to take a nap at noon, but she still had time to eat something.
However, compared with the soup bowls of Aunt Guihua and the others, her bowl did seem a little smaller.
