Ding Aifang was hungry for several meals in a row, and at noon she smelled the fragrance and rushed to the villager's house with great interest, she had already heard that the beef and mutton in Xilin Town were delicious, and she was expecting to eat a big meal, but the villager only served her a bowl of yellow noodles.

Ding Lifang was a little suspicious of her eyes, "What is this?" ”

The cook is the countryman's wife Tian Er's sister-in-law, she is diligent and capable, and she is well-known in this part of Xiliuying, "This is cornmeal noodles, there are shallots in it, you taste salty, if it is not suitable, I will help you adjust it!" ”

Cornmeal makes noodles, because the stickiness is not enough, the noodles are made roughly, and then in the process of cooking, a lot of cornmeal melts in the soup, so this kind of noodles looks sticky, and there is no oil in it, only a few shallots are put to season, and the appearance is definitely not good-looking.

"You're going to give me this?" Ding Lifang began to doubt life, yesterday she was at Zhuo Yan's house, and saw a big plate on the table, with big bones left, it is estimated that it is the best hand-handled meat here.

She originally thought that she would not look at Zhuo Yan's stinky face in a different place and eat a few meals of meat, but she didn't expect that the fellow would serve her such a bowl of slimy things.

To tell the truth, Tian Er's sister-in-law took a lot of effort to make this bowl of noodles for Ding Lifang, and the most lacking thing in Xiliuying was food.

Zhuo Yan's family lives a good life and is willing to use money to buy white-flour chickens, which is of course a special case, as for other people's families, they are counting on their own cornmeal and barley noodles for a whole year.

Therefore, Tian's second sister-in-law cooks carefully every day, and the food cooked at home is mainly barley noodles, and occasionally mixed with cornmeal can be regarded as improving life, but the bowl of noodles made for Ding Lifang is pure cornmeal.

Seeing that she had carefully prepared the meal, but was disgusted by the other party, Tian's second sister-in-law's face couldn't help but hang, "A bag of cornmeal, two months' worth of rice, if you don't eat this, what do you want to eat?" ”

Speaking of which, Ding Lifang doesn't understand the rules, the cadres who came above went to the villagers' houses to eat, if they want to improve their lives additionally, they all take out their own money and tickets to hand over to the villagers, these villagers will naturally find a way to get good things for them to eat.

Ding Lifang is from the city, but she spends most of her energy on dressing up, the coat on her body, and the leather shoes on her feet are worth a lot of money, under such circumstances, it is impossible to save spare money to eat and drink.

So Ding Lifang didn't think about it at all, and then gave this family money and tickets, seeing that the other party's tone was not good, she didn't figure out why, "You have to at least make me a bowl of white noodles, right?" You can't just put sand onions in the noodles, you have to have some side dishes! Even if it's not a large plate of hand-made meat, you can cut a few slices of meat and season it in the noodles, right? ”

The daughter-in-law who cooked listened to Ding Lifang's request, her eyes widened in surprise, "Reporter Ding, your requirements are too high, I can't do it!" ”

The women in this place of Xiliuying are all spicy, and after saying this, the daughter-in-law did not delay, picked up the bag of cornmeal, and went to Leader Zhang.

"Leader Zhang, I can't serve this reporter you sent, just a bag of cornmeal in total, in charge of two months' grain, she has to eat white noodles in one mouth, and every meal has to be accompanied by side dishes, and there must be meat in the noodles, just her request, three bags of cornmeal can't be made, you find someone else to cook for her!"

Leader Zhang and several people were also eating together, and the daughter-in-law finished these words in one breath, and led Zhang and these people were also stunned.

"Otherwise, let Reporter Ding cook by himself, right?" The people around Leader Zhang suggested.

As landlords, of course, they have the obligation to take care of these reporters and cadres from above, but they cannot detach themselves from the actual situation and build a separate shrine to provide for reporter Ding.

"Then give her the food, give her another house, let her cook by herself, and live by herself," Leader Zhang said while patting his head, this Ding Lifang made trouble with him yesterday because of the matter of living, and today the fellow brought her food back, which shows that she is a more picky person, and it is best for this kind of person to let her stay by herself.

Leader Zhang has not received cadres from above, including reporters and even writers, these people are very close to the people after they came, can sympathize with the lives of the local people, for fear of causing trouble to others, they all do their own things in a low-key manner, and rarely make demands.

Like Ding Lifang, he picks and chooses to eat and live as soon as he comes, and this is the first time he has seen it.

Seeing that Leader Zhang nodded, his secretary carried the cornmeal, and asked for the key to a winter nest again, and then went to find Ding Lifang.

Ding Lifang didn't eat again, she was sitting alone in the dormitory sulking, as soon as she heard that she had to move again, her head shook like a drum, "I don't move, I'm afraid to live alone!" ”

"It's okay if you don't move that," the visitor saw Ding Lifang's appearance, and didn't talk nonsense with her, so he went directly to Zhuo Yan and asked Zhuo Yan to move.

There is nothing in the winter nest at all, Zhuo Yan is not sorry for anything else, the only pity is those newspapers that Chu Xingchen pasted, but when he thought of Ding Lifang's stickiness, Zhuo Yan decided to leave those newspapers to her and let her read them slowly.

Zhuo Yan moved quickly, and more than a dozen people came in the house at once, everyone picked up the bedding, pots and pans and left, leaving the cornmeal for Ding Lifang.

Now Ding Lifang wants to cry without tears, who makes her have more problems, no one wants to get together with her.

For Ding Lifang, life and cooking have never been tested, the wood stove in the countryside is different from the gas stove in the city, and it is not possible to light the fire without skills.

Now Ding Lifang also realized that she couldn't rely on anyone, only on herself, she gritted her teeth to make a fire, made her face look like a big cat, and finally lit the fire, at this time she realized that it was impossible to make cornmeal into noodles, this thing would melt when it was wet, and there was no way to knead it into strips.

Ding Lifang finally stirred cornmeal batter for herself, and filled her stomach with no salt and vegetables.

Originally, she thought that life during this period of time was bad enough, but after eating the food she cooked, Ding Lifang realized that life could be worse.

Especially at night, when the little mice are out of their nests, running up and down the ceiling covered with newspapers, the sound of the soot is endless.

Ding Lifang will not leave a fire in the stove, and the house will be cold at night, Ding Lifang, who is lying on the kang, is shivering, and is worried that the mouse will fall on her face when she runs, and that day is simply indescribable.
