The next day, Tiangu woke up in the morning and heard a bad news, the heavy rain directly washed away the village and the mountain road outside, half of the mountain collapsed, and directly washed down several peasant houses, and those families were crying and crying.

"My mother-in-law! What a sin! ”

When Du Shi heard the news, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and when he came back to see Tiangu, he told her the news by the way.

When Tiangu heard this, she became worried: "What can I do?" Are the village roads blocked? ”

"It's blocked! Now it is said that the government is clearing! Girl, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the border pass, this is the hellish weather, it hasn't rained for a long time, and when it rains, you cross the road, no way. ”

Tiangu frowned, which was unexpected......

"That's no way, I don't know when the rain will stop, in that case, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be cheeky to stay at Sister Chunhua's house for a while......"

Du Shi hurriedly said: "You want to live as long as you want!" I wish you could stay with me! I don't think this rain will stop for a while and a half, there is a strange thing in our Chenjia Village, it doesn't rain during the day and it rains at night, it was the same a few years ago, so collect what can be harvested during the day, and catch up with everything you can do. ”

Tiangu looked at the sky and seemed to be the case, so she had to put down her luggage and help Du Shi do all the work in the yard.

There is no man in the Chen family, and it is Du's business to carry water and chop firewood, but fortunately, Du's son Xiaozhuang is sensible, and he can share a lot of housework at the age of eight or nine.

After a while, the coachman that Du Shi contacted Tiangu came over, "I can't leave today!" It's going to be a few days! ”

Du Shi shouted at the top of his voice: "I know Uncle Guo!" We guessed it! It's hard for you to shout when you can leave in a few days, my sister is in a hurry! ”

The coachman responded with a smile, and then looked at the yard they had cleaned up, "Chunhua, I think it's not easy for you, the village chief seems to be talking about the stall just now, do you want to go and see?" ”

Stalls?

Du Shi's eyes lit up: "Are you talking about the stall at the entrance of the village?" ”

"That's right! Today came to Qingyun Village Road, there is not even a place to rest and drink tea, and the village chief said that the road in our village is too old and old, maybe it will be repaired for us at one time, and this village needs to set up a stall to supply tea and simple food. ”

There are only orphans and widows in the Du family, and the coachman is also kind-hearted, so he reminded him. Du Shi was indeed very grateful, and hurriedly thanked him.

Tiangu was also happy and said, "Sister Chunhua, this is a good opportunity, you have to seize it." ”

Du Shi was eager to try, but soon doubted himself: "There are so many orphans and widows in this village, it may not be my turn......

"How do you know if you don't try? This must be fought for in order to have results! Let's go, I'll go with you now! ”

With Tiangu's encouragement, Du Shi also had confidence: "Then, let's try it?" ”

said that they would go, the two immediately closed the doors, windows and courtyard doors, Tiangu hugged Xiaobao, and Du Shi set off with Xiaozhuang.

The village chief's house was not far from Chen's house, and they arrived after a stick of incense, and when they arrived, the village chief's courtyard was already full of people.

It seems that everyone knows that this is a good opportunity and is scrambling to be the first.

Du Shi and Tiangu couldn't squeeze in at first, but fortunately, Chen Dayong, the son of the village chief's family, saw them, especially when he saw Tiangu, his eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted them.

"Coming?"

Tiangu was stunned when she saw him, and nodded.

Chen Dayong: "I just estimated that you were coming, come in, I'll take you in through the side door." ”

Du Shi was happy when he heard it, and winked at Tiangu, who replied embarrassedly: "Thank you." ”

Chen Dayong smiled and led them through the "back door", and Du Shi whispered in Tiangu's ear: "Thank you sister." ”

Tiangu glanced at Du Shi helplessly: "Sister Chunhua, don't make fun of me." ”

"How can this be a joke, ouch, good looks are good, this is your advantage, what is there to be ashamed of."

Tiangu has been coming to Chenjia Village for almost a month, when she first came, except for Du Shi who was in the same car, Chen Dayong, the village chief was responsible for contacting and exchanging with other villages, and they were all their own sons, and it was not surprising to meet them. Maybe Tiangu is really good-looking, Chen Dayong is very attentive all the way, Tiangu came to settle down, and it was Chen Dayong who spoke in front of his father, which made Tiangu handle the household registration certificate in the fastest way.

Between men and women, they are both adults, and this is understandable.

It's just that Tiangu is very annoyed.

I originally thought that I would be able to leave Chenjia Village and go to the barracks today, but I didn't expect that I couldn't leave again.

With Dayong, they quickly entered the village chief's house.

The first one to come out was the sister-in-law of Xiujuan, a well-known spicy household in the village, who saw Du Shi and Tiangu, and saw Fan Dayong, who was tall and tall next to him, what else did she not understand. Immediately, he laughed weirdly: "Coming? I didn't see you in the courtyard just now. ”

Tiangu ignored her, and Du didn't want to pay attention to it.

They didn't line up in the yard, they all squeezed their heads and drilled in, everyone was the same.

After entering, the village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law Wang sat on the kang, and the relationship between the Wang family and the Du family was not bad, and they nodded when they met: "Coming?" ”

Du Shi immediately smiled and said hello, and also explained his intention.

Village Chief Chen: "You don't need to say it, most of the people who came here today are here for this, in fact, if you don't come, I also count you as one of the candidates in my heart." ”

Du Shi was overjoyed in his heart, and then heard Village Chief Chen continue: "This job, I have made up my mind to give orphans and widows like you, but there are many men in our village who were conscripted at the beginning, and you are not the only one in this situation, so ah, who really falls into the hands of you, you have to rely on your ability." ”

When Du Shi heard this, he immediately became nervous: "What do you mean?" ”

"The stall at the entrance of this village, to put it bluntly, is also the signboard of our Chenjia Village, the person in charge is diligent, it is needless to say that the hands and feet are clean, and the craftsmanship must be passable. We plan to sell not only refreshments, but also food, and in a few days, you candidates will come out to compare, and whoever has good craftsmanship, we will choose whomever you want. ”

It turned out to be a comparison of craftsmanship.

That's a fair idea.

Tiangu immediately asked: "Than the skill of cooking?" ”

The old village chief glanced at her and nodded: "Yes, let's show what each family is good at." ”

Du Shi looked at Tiangu and felt a little relieved, but the other few families were a little unhappy after hearing this.

"Village Chief, aren't you partial! The big guys all know that Aunt Song Tian is going to the barracks, she is not bad at cooking, and Aunt Song Tian is not going to stay in our village chief, this is not for outsiders to help! ”

Du Shi was not happy when he heard it, but Tiangu said at this moment: "I won't help, don't worry, this matter is fair, and I am indeed leaving." ”

When the people saw her say this, they gave up.

When Chen Dayong heard that Aunt Tian was leaving, he took a deep look at her, but Aunt Tian didn't see it.

After returning from the village chief, Du Shi anxiously went to discuss with Tiangu: "Sister, ......"

Tiangu knew what she was going to say: "Sister Chunhua, don't worry, I just promised not to help, but I didn't promise not to teach you, let's be together, what are you afraid of?" ”

Du Shi immediately smiled: "I know!" Oops that's good! Sister, you can teach me a few dishes, we don't know when the village chief said the competition, let's start today. ”

Tiangu nodded, but she said again: "I guess the village chief will not let you compare cooking to cooking at that time, but it is more likely to make pasta." ”

"Pasta?"

"Sister Chunhua, do you think, if you were a passer-by and rested at the stall at the entrance of the village, what would you buy?"

Du Shi thought about it seriously.

Passers-by in a hurry, thirst-quenching and refreshing tea naturally want, come again......

Du Shi smiled: "If it were me, I would definitely want to eat refreshing noodles!" Especially the cold fish you made yesterday, appetizing and greasy! After a day of sitting in an ox cart and a horse-drawn carriage, I was tired to death! ”

Tiangu smiled: "That's the truth!" Who will order stir-fried vegetables at the rest place at the entrance of the village, most of them eat noodles and pasta, let's learn from this! ”

Du Shi had a bottom in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then I will follow you to learn pasta!" ”

The northern border pass really likes to eat noodles. Tiangu is good at all kinds of pastries, under her hands, the white and soft dough is obedient and incredible, pulling, pulling, stretching, kneading, and after a while, a bowl of noodles comes out.

"Boiling the pot under water, it is not a shame to splash the noodles with oil, we have the best pepper noodles in the north, the fresh noodles are boiled for a short time, the bottom of the bowl is filled with vinegar, sauce, and sugar to make the base, and the noodles and vegetables are blanched, and the most critical step is to burn the oil and splash the spicy. What comes out in this way is called oily noodles. ”

The burned soybean oil began to smoke, and the snow-white noodles had been sprinkled with chili noodles and shiluo powder in advance. The whole kitchen is this domineering fragrance, Du Shi sneezed twice in a row, and then looked, the snow-white noodles were mixed up, and they had turned into a tempting red, and the blanched cabbage and bean sprouts were spread on it, but there was really no need to bother frying, but the aroma was extraordinarily compelling.

Chen Xiaozhuang was attracted over, the child was hungry, Du Shi also tasted it, and his eyes widened: "It's so fragrant!" It's amazing! ”

Tiangu smiled, and it was naturally fragrant to be willing to put oil.

"Let Xiaozhuang eat first, you can try it."

Without saying a word, Du Shi rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try, and Tiangu continued to prepare for something else: "This oily noodles taste more domineering, but I'm afraid that some people who are tired from the journey don't like to eat exciting, let's wrap some wontons." ”

"Ravioli?"

Tiangu: "It's a soup cake, it's called different, it's a bit like dumplings, heck, you'll know if I make it anyway." ”

Du Shi smiled: "You will have a lot, if I didn't know your past, I would definitely be from the capital!" Experienced and knowledgeable! ”

The sweet girl smiled and didn't speak, what did her mother teach her.

Chen Xiaozhuang sat on the low table on the side, hula lala into his mouth, the oil poured the noodles fragrant and spicy, the seven or eight-year-old doll was spicy and spicy, but it couldn't stop.

"Mother, mother! It's so spicy, so spicy! ”

Xiaobao was in the cradle next to Xiao Zhuang, and he didn't know whether he was attracted by the fragrance or by Xiao Zhuang's brother's "mother", he bit his fist, looked at the sweet aunt who was busy in front of the stove, and suddenly burst out with a word: "Cool!" ”

Tiangu was originally making wontons, but she was shocked, and the chopsticks that were ripping the filling pierced the dough.
