SIAS Chapter 151.1

The next day, Yi Qingqing dragged three aching ‘little cripples’ to the threshing ground to gather.

“Comrade Xiao Yi, what are you going to make for lunch today?” Asked the member who arrived first.

Yi Qingqing shook her head. “It’s nothing new. It’s just wild vegetable dumplings with soup.”

“Really?” Some people didn’t believe it.

“Nothing else? Another bowl of noodles will do!”

“Yesterday was the first meal of the autumn harvest, so we didn’t mix wild vegetables in. If we don’t mix them in every meal, we will be hungry later.” Yi Qingqing said honestly.

“Loaches? There are so many loaches in the pond, and there are fish in the river!”

Some people were still unwilling to give up. Although the wild vegetable dumplings eaten for free were not bad, who wouldn’t want to eat something better?

“I was afraid to catch insects before, how could I catch loaches? Let alone fish. I dare not go down to the river.”

Yi Qingqing spread her hands, “A good cook cannot cook without rice!”

“Pfft— How shameless of you, good cook, hahaha!”

Li Mengxue changed the subject to avoid others asking questions all the time. If you want to eat big fish and meat, you can’t do this even in your dreams.

While they were playing around, no one else could get a word in, so they could only give up unwillingly.

Today’s work was still the same as yesterday’s. Everyone took their positions and started working with their faces to the earth and their backs to the sky.

Yi Qingqing and the others also went to the canteen. This morning they made wild vegetable dumplings with cornmeal.

Wild vegetable dumplings are a very common staple food on the folks’ daily dinner tables. Every housewife has tried to make wild vegetable dumplings more delicious without changing the ingredients.

They have studied wild vegetable dumplings thoroughly.

Yi Qingqing will not embarrass herself on this point. After all, she only knows how to make it. Corn flour is not as sticky and easy to knead as wheat flour. She doesn’t eat it much herself, so she hasn’t studied it much. Maybe she is not as good as Aunt Guihua and the others!

When Aunt Guihua asked her, she told the truth.

“It’s okay, as long as you can make it.” Aunt Guihua didn’t think that it was a big deal.

Comarde Xiao Yi is so young. It is already rare for her to be so capable, how can she know everything?

It is normal that she can’t do anything. Girls from other families are still learning in the kitchen, but Comrade Xiao Yi is already better than the older wives.

Aunt Dongmei also said: “With the wrap of noodles yesterday, you have fired the first shot. Everyone voted for you and it was a good deal.”

Yi Qingqing nodded and looked at Sun Laidi.

Sun Laidi was stunned and said unhappily, “Why are you looking at me?”

“I thought Aunt Sun would mock me again. I would be so embarrassed!” Yi Qingqing said with a smile.

“…” Sun Laidi chopped wild vegetables with a clanging sound on the chopping board.

“I won’t be fooled by you. If you have any clever tricks, just say it, don’t waste your time!”

“Alas…” Yi Qingqing sighed regretfully.

It had been peaceful for quite a few days. It was worry-free, but a bit boring. It was hard to find someone to argue with, but the person only kept it going for one day and died down so quickly.

“You mischievous ghost, just tell me what you have in mind!” Aunt Guihua tapped Yi Qingqing’s forehead unhappily.

“Didn’t we just say we’ll make egg soup at noon? If you want everyone to have a bowl, you have to cook at least two large pots. With only five eggs in total, probably not many people can get a chopstick of it.” Yi Qingqing said.

“What’s the matter? With just five eggs, you can still let everyone scoop up a piece with chopsticks?” Sun Laidi yelled.

Wasn’t this just wishful thinking?

There were only a few eggs, and if they were mixed with two large pots of water, they would disappear without a trace.
