SIAS Chapter 142.1

After entering the canteen, several people counted the food.

Most of them were coarse grains such as sorghum flour and corn flour, and the oil was soybean oil, a small pot, and a piece of cured pork.

“Oh, there is also white flour!” Aunt Guihua opened a small bag.

Sun Laidi’s eyes widened. “This must be about ten catties, right?”

“Everyone is in for a treat. If you add a little bit of this into the flour, the steamed buns will be softer and easier to knead.” Aunt Dongmei also touched the white flour bag lovingly.

When people usually make sorghum steamed buns and corn flour steamed buns, they are reluctant to add white flour. The adhesion of pure sorghum flour and corn flour after mixing with water is very low, far less than wheat flour.

It tastes irritating and hard to swallow. You have to drink two sips of water after taking a bite. It becomes even harder when it cools down.

But after adding a little white flour, the situation is completely different. Not only is it more sticky, but it will also be softer when steamed.

“Comrade Xiao Yi, everyone says you have great cooking skills. Do you have any new methods?” Sun Laidi asked her.

Yi Qingqing: “…”

This person’s art of speaking is amazing.

On the surface, what she said was reasonable and well-founded. She also said that her cooking skills were good, but it was a bit embarrassing to ask her about her new cooking methods.

There were only a few kinds of ingredients, all of which were staple foods. Although there was oil and meat, it was impossible to let her use them freely, because this little bit of meat and oil would have to feed so many people for nearly two months! Every meal had to be saved.

If she couldn’t come up with a new method, wouldn’t the other party be slapping her in the face?

“Forget it if you can’t think of it. How about adding some white flour to make corn-steamed buns or sorghum-steamed buns for lunch today?” Sun Laidi said with a smile as if she was thinking about Yi Qingqing.

“…”

Fortunately, there was still some white flour. With this, she really knew some new methods.

Otherwise, when the time comes, Sun Laidi will say: If you ask her whether she has any new cooking methods, she will know nothing.

Before long, her untrue reputation will spread.

Three people make a tiger. What do those who voted for her think?

It was just sarcastic, who couldn’t be like that?

Yi Qingqing also smiled and said, “Thank you for worrying about me. How about we make noodles for lunch today?”

“Noodles?” Sun Laidi seemed to have heard a big joke.

“Sorghum flour and corn flour are not good for making noodles. They fall apart as soon as you take them. You are not planning to waste all the white flour for one meal today, are you? After all, you are a capitalist lady from the city. You only know how to cook with white flour!”

Aunt Dongmei wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Aunt Guihua, who whispered to her, “Don’t worry, Xiao Yi is smart and can handle it!”

Yi Qingqing listened to Sun Laidi’s words patiently. She did it on purpose and spoke without pausing. How could she lure out the malice of this person without pausing?

The other party was a smiling tiger. If she didn’t let her show her true face, it would be hard for her to say anything to her. Otherwise, as long as the other party pretended to be stupid, she couldn’t find any fault with her seemingly kind but actually sinister words.

“My parents are both honorable workers. Workers and peasants are one family. How can you say that I am the daughter of a capitalist? This is destroying collective harmony! And I just said I was going to make noodles, but I didn’t tell you how to make them. How can you come up and make malicious assumptions about me? When did I offend you?”

Yi Qingqing said with an aggrieved look.

“…” The smile on Sun Laidi’s face froze.

“What are you talking about? I…”
