Chapter 340 Educated Youth in the 7s 6
A whistle sounded and everyone started to get off work and go back for breakfast.
Today it is Liu Chunyan and Zhou Yujie's turn to cook. We had already agreed yesterday that we would work in groups of two and take turns cooking.
Zhang Hongmei chose Wang Lihua, and Nan Xi went with Su Fuying. There were also six boys, and all the people at the educated youth site were divided into six groups.
Breakfast consists of porridge and steamed corn bread, served with pickles. The steamed corn bread is made of corn flour and wild vegetables, and is steamed while the porridge is cooked.
The cooking method is crude, so the taste is naturally not that good.
Nan Xi took a bite of the steamed corn bread. The coarseness of the whole grains was a bit choking in her throat, but fortunately there was a hint of the fragrance of wild vegetables. She chewed for a long time before swallowing it.
She ate the steamed buns slowly with porridge and pickled vegetables.
Su Fuying was even calmer than Nan Xi. She never wasted food. This steamed corn bread tasted much better than the rotten meat she had eaten in the apocalypse. There was nothing she couldn't eat.
Zhang Hongmei frowned. She came from a well-off family and had eaten steamed corn bread before, but this was the first time she had eaten such a thick steamed corn bread.
"Wow... this steamed bread is too unpalatable. Can't the flour be ground finer?"
The people at the educated youth site all looked unhappy, so this flour was only ground twice to save some money.
They also want to eat fine grains. The finer the grains are, the more delicious they are and the less hungry they will feel.
He Xiangdong looked at Zhang Hongmei, who was choking with tears, and said, "How about we try it one more time next time?"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded vigorously.
Zhang Hongmei picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. It was so salty that she almost spit it out.
"This pickle is too salty."
Liu Chunyan and Zhou Yujie felt uncomfortable. Liu Chunyan said, "Can this pickle be called pickle if it's not salty?"
Zhang Hongmei knew that she had said something wrong and didn't dare to say anything else.
Seeing Nan Xi and Su Fuying eating calmly, Zhang Hongmei felt even more upset. Was it because she couldn't get used to eating alone? She had no appetite for the whole meal.
After a short rest, Zhang Hongmei started working again. This time, she learned her lesson and not only wore a hat, but also gloves.
Other people at the educated youth center also followed suit and armed themselves fully with hats, gloves, and masks.
"Xia Zhiqing, your hat is so beautiful. Did you bring it from Su City?"
Before she knew it, Wang Lihua came to Nan Xi again.
Nan Xi nodded, "Yes, my mother prepared it for me."
Wang Lihua praised again: "The color of your scarf is also nice, and it goes well with your dress."
Nan Xi gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Wang Lihua was a little depressed. What was wrong with Xia Nanxi? She was clearly an introverted and shy girl in her previous life, but she was much quieter in this life.
Her plan seemed to be a little difficult to implement.
After a busy day, Nan Xi discovered that Wang Lihua always wanted to get close to her. She was secretly happy, as Wang Lihua was also so enthusiastic in the plot. Then the simple original owner treated her as a good friend, took out her own supplies to share with Wang Lihua, allowing her to take advantage of her a lot.
Now, don’t even think about it.
Wang Lihua realized that she had run into so many obstacles, so she adjusted her direction and became much nicer to Zhang Hongmei.
"Zhang Zhiqing, you are really strong and work more efficiently than me."
Zhang Hongmei grinned, looking very proud.
"That's right. I've been very strong since I was young, and I eat a lot too. My mom even said that I was born in the wrong womb and should have been a boy."
Wang Lihua echoed, "You are gifted, a heroine."
Zhang Hongmei was even happier. "Yes, yes, you are right. She is a heroine."
Nan Xi watched the two people walk away and laughed. Although Zhang Hongmei was careless, she was meticulous and not stupid. It would not be easy for Wang Lihua to take advantage of her.
Su Fuying also curled the corners of her mouth. There was nothing fun to do in the countryside, so it was just right to watch a play.
Lan Zhuochi, who was standing nearby, heard the laughter, turned his head, and saw the smile on Su Fuying's lips. He felt as if his soul had been bewitched by Su Fuying.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since Su Zhiqing saved him in the mountains yesterday, his heart and eyes were filled with her.
Maybe this is love at first sight.
Su Fuying looked towards Lan Zhuochi sensitively, nodded to him, and walked forward calmly.
Nan Xi felt like she was watching a big drama, a silent one at that. Did the hero and heroine fall in love with each other right away? This was too fast.
He shook his head. How could love be as refreshing as cultivation?
She should just watch the show and be a bystander.
Autumn harvest is very tiring. After working all day, no one wants to move. Today is the day for Nan Xi and Su Fuying to cook.
Both of them had secrets and their own space. Neither of them was interested in the meal ordered by the educated youth, and both of them kept a low profile and did not cause any trouble.
"Xia Zhiqing, I don't know how to make steamed bread. Can I light the fire and wash the vegetables?"
Nan Xi nodded readily. The fire was so hot, which was just right for someone with an icy constitution like Su Fuying.
"Sure, I'll make the steamed bread and cut the pickles."
Nan Xi felt that the corn flour for making steamed corn bread was not fine enough, so she quietly rubbed it with her hands. Now the flour instantly became much finer.
She first stimulated some tender shoots of wild vegetables, then threw the old roots into the chicken coop. She then blanched them in boiling water before making steamed buns.
The young sprouts grown with spiritual energy smell fragrant, and the steamed steamed buns look very appetizing.
The pickles are made of kohlrabi. Nan Xi first cut them into thin slices, rinsed them several times with clean water, and then cut them into thin strips. She dropped a drop of sesame oil into it and stirred it. The pickles then gave off a unique fragrance.
Su Fuying sniffed. The fragrance just now seemed a little different from the usual food.
When she was eating, she knew what was different. The same thing, but made by Xia Zhiqing, tasted so delicious that the ordinary steamed corn bread tasted like a meat bun.
Even the pickles are not that salty. They taste crispy and fragrant and very refreshing.
Everyone started eating unconsciously with big mouthfuls, and the white porridge at the bottom of the pot was finished early. Those who arrived late were filled with regret.
"Today's steamed bread is delicious, and the pickled vegetables are fragrant too. Xia Zhiqing, Su Zhiqing, did you make this? It's so delicious."
Zhang Hongmei praised the dish generously, she was almost crying with happiness. Eating steamed corn bread had been her nightmare these days, but today she finally got to eat something delicious.
Su Fuying quickly distanced herself from the matter, "It was Xia Zhiqing who did it. My cooking skills are not that good."
Zhang Hongmei looked at Nan Xi, as if she saw her savior.
"Xia Zhiqing, can you teach me how to cook? I want to learn."
Nan Xi nodded, "Sure, next time I cook you can follow me and watch. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your talent."
Being a chef requires some talent.
Although Nan Xi used some tricks, the food of this era is natural and tastes good, which is the key to its deliciousness.
