“Comrade Xiao Yi, take a bigger bowl next time. If you can’t finish the meal at noon, you can still eat it at night and save some of your own food.” Aunt Guihua whispered in her ear.
Yi Qingqing: “…”
So, was there such a method?
It seemed like everyone had a tacit understanding. It would not be good for her to be unsociable. Her individuality might cause embarrassment to Aunt Guihua and the others.
“I see. I’ll get a bigger one tomorrow.”
She didn’t mind this kind of meal which was made of coarse grains and had little oil, but she felt that her body might not be able to bear eating it every day.
If she couldn’t finish it, she could just store it in her personal space and take it out to eat after a while. Eating it occasionally would give a different flavor.
However, no matter how big it is, it can’t be as big as Aunt Guihua and the others’. The one that Aunt Sun Laidi held could be called a mini pot.
After all, everyone chose her because they thought that she wouldn’t take advantage of the team too much and wouldn’t go too far.
Aunt Guihua filled their bowls with food, more noodles and less soup.
Sun Laidi’s bowl was the biggest, but due to the majesty of Aunt Guihua and Aunt Dongmei, she didn’t dare to go too far. The noodles were almost the same, but she asked for more noodle soup in a flattering manner.
Several people brought two bowls, one bowl for noodles and one bowl on top so that others would not know how much food you have in your bowl.
After all, everyone usually takes their lunch home to eat, and the canteen, which is where cooking is done, cannot accommodate the entire team.
When the members came in with their bowls, Yi Qingqing and the others were already standing in front of the pot.
On Yi Qingqing’s left was Aunt Guihua, on her right was Aunt Dongmei, and on Aunt Guihua’s left was Sun Laidi.
Aunt Guihua told her how much each person should get: one chopstick of noodles and two spoonfuls of soup for adults.
Children get half a chopstick of noodles and a spoonful of soup.
It can be less, but not more, or there won’t be enough to share.
Yi Qingqing said that she understood.
This is her first time being an ‘auntie’ serving food in the canteen!
If you are not active in eating, you have a problem with your thinking. The canteen, which was just deserted, suddenly became lively.
“Wow! It’s really noodles! Although the color is a little lighter, it is clearly sorghum flour. How can it be cooked into noodles?”
The first thing everyone did when they arrived was not to line up, but to rush to the pot to see if it was really noodles.
During the break, someone saw Li Mengxue and her friends meeting Yi Qingqing from afar and then asked them what they had done for lunch.
After all, so many people chose Yi Qingqing, so they were all curious about what she could do.
Unexpectedly, several educated youths said that they were cooking noodles.
The first meal after the autumn harvest was generally supposed to be something solid, but no one could believe that it was noodles. In their eyes, noodles were made of white flour, so this was absolutely impossible.
Even Captain Zhao Youtian and the village accountant couldn’t believe it.
The grain was allocated by the two of them, so what didn’t they know?
Although there was white flour, even if all of it was used to make noodles, it would not be enough for the entire village to eat.
So, during the last hour or so, everyone kept looking toward the canteen, and when the whistle for the end of work blew, they ran away as fast as they could.
Looking into the pot, they saw white noodles with a hint of red.
They were really noodles!
Noodles made from sorghum flour!
It was no exaggeration to say that everyone’s jaw dropped!
