Yang Lina's breathing was steady and she walked very fast. Li Jingxuan tried his best to follow, but it was extremely difficult to walk.
The bag containing cloth in my hand became heavier and heavier as I lifted it, and I couldn't even touch it for fear of soiling the cloth inside.
Li Jingxuan sometimes carried it and sometimes carried it on his shoulders. Coupled with the hot weather, his whole mouth was dry.
When it was getting dark, Li Jingxuan was soaked in sweat and dragged his sore legs to the entrance of the village. On the contrary, Yang Lina was still full of energy.
Li Jingxuan was panting heavily and couldn't help but ask.
"Sister-in-law, how can you carry such a heavy thing alone? Aren't you tired?"
By visual inspection, the weight of the items in the backpack must be at least twenty kilograms.
"I'm tired, of course I'm tired. But I'm used to it. If we don't work hard, we can only look at things like these helplessly and have no money to buy them."
Yang Lina waved her hands and wiped the big beads of sweat on her face with her sleeves. She squatted down and rested her painful and stiff legs for a while, then put the backpack on her back again. When she got up, her legs were so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
She endured the pain in her feet and walked towards the entrance of the village. The weak light of the setting sun shone on the earth, like covering the mountains and rivers with a mysterious veil, making them look uniquely beautiful.
Li Jingxuan felt dizzy, and a cold wind blew in, making her sober in an instant.
Holding her breath, she walked to the door of her house and watched as Yang Lina took out the key and opened the door. She leaned against the wall carefully, put the bag in her arms, and wished she could collapse on the floor.
As soon as Li Jingxuan entered the door, he put the cloth bag on Yang Lina's bed, then ran to the kitchen and drank a few gulps of cold water, rubbing his sore shoulders.
Yang Lina took her time and brewed two cups of rose tea, threw in a few slices of chopped red dates, added some brown sugar, stirred it, and placed a cup next to Li Jingxuan.
Li Jingxuan was stunned for a moment. The sister-in-law in front of her was behaving more and more steadily. In comparison, she seemed to be careless.
She thought, it seems that hard times can really change a person.
Yang Lina rested for a while, moved her waist, took a basin with warm water, went to the utility room to scrub her body, changed into clean clothes, and prepared materials while it was still dark.
Li Jingxuan had sweated all over during the day. Now her whole body was sticky and greasy. She also wanted to scrub her body. She couldn't wear Yang Lina's clothes. After drinking tea, she said hello to Yang Lina and went back.
Before leaving, she told Yang Lina that she would come over to keep Yang Lina company in the evening.
Yang Lina divided twenty kilograms of flour into twenty portions, took one kilogram, kneaded it into dough and put it in a basin. She found a clean cloth to cover it, and then packed up the seasonings.
As a half-Sichuanese, she is very good at preparing seasonings. The most important thing in Liangpi is red oil. After the oil in the pot is hot, she throws the washed onions, ginger and garlic into the pot, and the kitchen suddenly hears the sound of chopping.
There is a crackling sound of frying. After the onions, ginger and garlic are fried, take them out and pour them into the chili noodles with pepper noodles, salt and sesame seeds.
In this era, chicken essence and MSG are no longer a consideration. I can only buy half a pound of white sugar as a substitute. There is no light soy sauce, only soy sauce made from soybeans, and the taste of this soy sauce is countless times better than that of the era before the rebirth.
After putting these away, she looked at the clock on the wall. It was five minutes before eight o'clock. She touched her hungry belly, then looked at the closed door of the utility room. After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to make bowls first.
Drink with hot noodles.
Yang Lina wanted to lose weight, so she also bought some seasonal vegetables in the yard. She bought a few kilograms of cucumbers but didn't buy any other vegetables.
All the belongings she went out to buy today cost sixty or seventy yuan. She didn't know what the business would be like tomorrow, so she didn't dare to spend money randomly.
I took half a bowl of white flour, added some water and stirred it into a paste, then I boiled the water and poured it into the pot, and added some green vegetables.
She added chopped green onion and red oil to the bowl, put in the seasonings, and then scooped the batter from the pot into the bowl.
As the saying goes, eat well in the morning, eat full at noon, and eat less at night. In order to lose weight, Li Jingming was not around, so he had to force it out.
The dough is almost ready, so I found a basin to collect water, put the dough into the basin and kneaded it. The juice from the washing can be used to make cold skin, and the remaining flour essence is used to steam gluten.
The Liangpi plate has been washed. Apply oil with a brush. Ladle in the batter and put it into the boiling water in the pot. Turn the plate quickly to ensure that the batter in the plate can flow evenly to every corner of the plate. Cover the pot.
, and you can take it out after three minutes.
When Li Jingxuan arrived, Yang Lina's cold skin was half steamed and there was already a pile on the chopping board.
It turns out that the so-called Liangpi is the local noodle.
Only then did Li Jingxuan react.
It's just that there are very few people selling dough skins in the local area. It's really troublesome to make, and it's probably troublesome for those doing business.
"Sister-in-law, it turns out that the cold skin you are talking about is noodle skin."
Li Jingxuan glanced at Yang Lina's busy figure, moved a chair and sat by the stove to help light the fire for Yang Lina.
"yes."
Yang Lina smiled lightly, rolled up one piece, then cut it into strips and put it on a plate. She put cucumber and carrot shreds on it, added seasonings, sesame sauce, crushed peanuts, and finally poured her own secret red oil chili.
Pass it to Li Jingxuan's bowl.
"Try it quickly and see if it tastes good or not.
Starting from tomorrow, I will go to the market to sell. You are my first customer. Your opinion determines my business. As the first customer, I will give you this bowl for free."
Yang Lina smiled lightly. Li Jingxuan looked at Yang Lina's white and tender dimples on her cheeks and her pink and tender mouth, and suddenly felt that Yang Lina was really good-looking.
Li Jingxuan took the bowl, glanced at Yang Lina with a blushing face, and then moved her chopsticks to stir the cold noodles.
Yang Lina looked at Li Jingxuan intently, wanting to see her first reaction after eating the cold skin.
She stood by the chopping board, secretly determined in her heart that she must work hard to earn money, and strive to live a life of four dishes and one soup as soon as possible, and spend whatever she wants.
With no family background, she had no confidence to be proud at all, but fortunately, her face was still passable.
The original owner was also lucky to have met him, otherwise he would have starved to death sooner or later based on his ability.
"Try it quickly, taste it quickly."
Seeing that Li Jingxuan was still stirring, Yang Lina urged her like a child, staring directly at the cold skin in Li Jingxuan's bowl.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you make a bowl too?"
Li Jingxuan saw Yang Lina drooling and pushed Liangpi in front of Yang Lina.
"I don't want to eat it. You try it quickly. There are a lot of them on the chopping board. If I want to eat it, I can just make it myself."
Saying that, he pushed Liangpi back again.
Li Jingxuan looked down at the fragrant cold skin, picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
Put the cold skin into your mouth, it's sour and spicy, it's chewy, cool and smooth, with shredded cucumbers and carrots as a foil, it has vegetables and noodles, and it tastes absolutely delicious.
