Chapter 19: The Happiness of Good Food
Li Muchen returned to the village with two pieces of clothes wrapped in things, Kong Chengxi, Zhan Xingnan, and Bai Lin stood at the entrance of the village discussing how to get out of here, and saw Li Muchen with a smile on his face coming over from a distance, and Zhan Xingnan stepped forward and pulled her: "Where have you been?" We're looking for a way to leave! ”
"Leave?" Li Muchen slowly put away the smile on his face, and then continued to walk with two pieces of clothes, ignoring Zhan Xingnan. After walking far, he stopped and said lightly, "I won't leave in the past two days, I want to help the villagers do something!" Let's go first! ”
Zhan Xingnan didn't know what to say for a while, and Kong Chengxi's steps had already stepped out: "What can you do?" In times like this, it takes time to heal the wounds after the war! They can't grow anything on the land you go to, they can only grow on the land that the commune has allocated! You can't do anything! ”
Li Muchen was stunned in place, she didn't know, but why did the person in front of her have to say it, it is the late 50s, and the people's commune is in full development, and it has not yet developed to the point of contracting production to groups and households. Both the land and the tools belong to the state.
"I know, don't take me for a fool, at least let me make them a meal, thank you for their hospitality!"
After speaking, Li Muchen tore away Kong Chengxi's hand, and continued to walk forward with red eyes, Zhan Xingnan and Bai Lin stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"It's okay, let her go, let's continue to figure it out!" Kong Chengxi's eyes showed a hint of inexplicability, looked at the back, and said lightly.
Zhan Xingnan and Bai Lin looked at each other, and muttered in their hearts: Two weirdos!
When Li Muchen returned to the village, he saw that the villagers had already gone to work in the fields, and they knew that there was a "problem" with the land, and even if they tried hard, they would not be able to grow enough food to fill their stomachs. She came to the commune canteen alone and saw a young man squatting aside to wipe her tears! Slowly came back to his senses and stepped forward and asked softly, "Child, what are you crying about?" ”
"Who are the children? Who cried? When the young man heard someone's voice, he hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and didn't look away, "It's time to go to the ground, why are you still here, don't you deduct your work?" ”
Li Muchen sat on the ground and replied: "I'm not from your village, and I'm about to leave!" Why don't you go to the ground? Don't you have to deduct work points? ”
The young man looked at Li Muchen's beautiful face with a kind smile, and he also let go of his courage to chat: "The captain asked me to come back and cook for everyone, I usually do it!" But there was nothing left to cook in the team! ”
When Li Muchen heard this, he looked at the two packets of herbs and osmanthus he was carrying, and said with a firm gaze: "Sister help you!" ”
After Li Muchen finished speaking, he didn't wait for the young man to come back to his senses, and he had already started to move, she had brought some things with her when she came from ancient times, and she originally wanted to bring them back to sell them for money and let her father taste them. Now I can only take it all out, grind the pastry into powder, and let Xiao Young scoop a pot of rice bran flour.
Stirring with water, how can the rice bran form a ball, she looked at the mess in front of her, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Not far from the door, three familiar figures were looking at her. Zhan Xingnan really couldn't see the girl crying, and wanted to rush out to help, but was stopped by Kongchengxi.
"She has talent, but she doesn't know exactly what food can bring to people, and if she wants to be a good chef like you, she has to go through it herself."
Hearing Kongchengxi's words, Zhan Xingnan's face turned red, he retracted his steps, and coughed lightly: "You're right!" ”
Bai Lin shook his head helplessly when he saw this, Zhan Da Imperial Chef was still so simple.
During their conversation, Li Muchen had already used all the things that could be used on his body, put in osmanthus and vanilla leaves, and the young man on the side looked at her inexplicably.
After a few hard work, it gradually became a group, and Li Muchen's face showed a smile, and he boiled it with fire. It was cooked until the people of the commune finished work, and she herself was worried about how she could eat such a thing.
After a while, many villagers came to smell the fragrance, after all, there are osmanthus flowers, whether they are delicious or not, but they must be full of aroma.
When the lid was lifted, I don't know how to send a full pot, Li Muchen thought to himself that there must be something that could be fermented in the things brought out of the palace.
When Li Muchen was busy with "staple food", Xiao Young also took some vegetable leaves and boiled some clear soup with water.
At noon, the old man looked at Li Muchen and showed a kind smile: "Little girl, why are you helping in the kitchen?" ”
"Grandpa, I originally wanted to help you cook something to eat, but I didn't expect to mess it up, I'm sorry!" The more Li Muchen spoke, the quieter he became, and the tears couldn't help but flow out.
The old man looked at the slowly potted rice bran buns with a "weird" color but full of aroma, and smiled: "Silly girl, I'll try it!" How to mess up! ”
As he spoke, the old man picked up the spoon and took a little bit, and ate it in a big gulp, melting in his mouth, full of rich fragrance, and he grinned with satisfaction for the first time: "Girl, how is this messed up?" Old man, the best thing I've ever eaten in my life is this big bun! ”
Li Muchen originally thought that the old man was just comforting her, but when she held back her tears and came back to her senses, everyone was holding a piece of happiness in their hands!
What food can bring to people! Li Muchen has the answer in his heart!
It's happiness!
