Chapter 1162: 'Old Donkey Pulls Mill' (Four Watches)
Lian Wenwen playfully covered her mouth and said apologetically, "I didn't mean you. ”
"I know." Shao Xun said with a smile on his face.
"You don't have to go to your quarters and scrub them." Lian Wenwen said considerately, "Everyone is busy living together, it's not good for you to help us here!" ”
"It's okay, men should help women." Shao Xun said nonchalantly, "They will understand." ”
"That's not good, don't be social." Lian Wenwen persuaded him and urged, "You go quickly!" This is what we can do on our own. ”
"Alright then!" Shao Xun nodded, handed over the grinding work to the two of them, and turned to leave.
Lian Wenwen pushed and grinded for a while, and after grinding the wheat, she felt that her arm was sore.
Ling Danshu looked at the flour in the noodle bag and frowned, "Why is this flour so black, how is it different from the Fuqiang flour we bought from the grain store?" It looks like there's still skin, can you eat it? "Deep doubts.
"This wheat can be fake." Lian Wenwen said, but her face was full of doubts, and she thought for a while, "Why don't I ask?" So saying, he walked out of the mill, watched the chimney smoke, and went into the kitchen of the brigade to find the mountain apricot.
After Lian Wenwen poured out the reason, Shan Xing shook her head and said with a smile, "The ground flour has to be sifted through with a sieve basket, what leaks out is flour, and what remains is wheat bran." But life is difficult, and we don't usually sift it. If you want to sift noodles, I have a sifting basket here. As he spoke, he found the sieve basket in the kitchen and handed it to Lian Wenwen.
Lian Wenwen took the sieve basket and muttered in her heart that it was this! I have seen it at home, and the housekeeping staff at home, when the weather is hot, the flour has worms, and they all use sieving baskets to sift out the worms.
"Thank you!" Lian Wenwen looked at her and said with a smile.
"No thanks." Yama Xing said as usual.
"What does it smell so good?" Lian Wenwen sniffed and said cutely.
"The captain gave you lunch." Shan Xing pointed to the iron pot and said, "Stew fish in the iron pot and paste corn tortillas." ”
Lian Wenwen stepped forward, looked at the fish stewed in the iron pot, and looked at the golden tortillas on the edge of the iron pot, "It looks delicious." ”
"The fish is fine, this tortilla is a little thick." Lian Wenwen reminded her in advance that in fact, the stick noodles were not mixed with white noodles, and they tasted a little straining.
But this is already a very good meal for the countrymen to entertain their arrival.
"Thank you so much for the trouble of cooking for us." Lian Wenwen said sincerely.
"You don't have to thank you all the time! This is the task given to me by the captain. Shan Xing looked at her and smiled.
"Wenwen, Wenwen." Ling Danshu shouted outside.
"What about your friend calling you?" Shan Xing pointed to the outside road.
"Here it is." Lian Wenwen raised her voice and said, then looked at Shan Xing and said, "I'm out." ”
"Hmm!" Shan Xing smiled and nodded.
Lian Wenwen took the sieve basket out of the kitchen, entered the mill, and sifted the flour, sure enough, the flour was much finer, "What should I do with the rest?" Lian Wenwen asked.
"Throw it away! And you can't eat it. Ling Danshu said directly.
Shan Xing, who ran out, hurriedly said, "Hey! Can't throw, can't throw. Fortunately, I remembered in time how unreliable they were in the city.
Sure enough, it was prescient, and it was really a loser.
"You can eat these, too." Shan Xing looked at the two of them and said.
"How to eat?" Ling Danshu said disgustedly.
"Make wild vegetable dumplings! How to say that it is a fine grain, it is stronger than stick noodles. Shan Xing looked at them and said.
"Wild vegetable dumplings?" Ling Danshu frowned lightly and said.
Lian Wenwen simply gave the wheat bran directly to Shan Xingdao, "These are good for you,"
"Give...... To give...... I. Shan Xing said excitedly.
"Yes! It's a thank you gift. Lian Wenwen looked at her and said.
Shan Xing was happily at a loss, and although she wanted to get it in her hands immediately, she still had to make it clear, "That...... Even though it's wheat bran, it's a fine grain! Do you understand? ”
"Yes." Lian Wenwen looked at her and smiled.
"What are you talking about? It's said to be a thank you gift, so I'll give it to you. Ling Danshu said unhappily.
"Then you're welcome." Shan Xing said happily, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the bowl." He ran out of the kitchen, took a large bowl and put the bran in it.
After a simple cleaning of the stone mill, Lian Wenwen and Ling Danshu began to grind corn again, the grain of corn is a little large, and it is obviously more difficult to grind than wheat, and there is more corn.
"I kind of know why I put a blindfold on a donkey." Lian Wenwen smiled bitterly and said, "It's so boring to grind noodles like this." ”
"In this way, if we are distributing food in the future, we will go to the city to find an electric mill, even if it is paid, I will not waste time on this." Ling Danshu said decisively.
"It's so far into the city, how are we going to get there?" Lian Wenwen went directly into the operation, and it was obvious that she was not willing to grind noodles day after day.
"It's as simple as borrowing a bike." Ling Danshu said simply.
"The question is, are there bikes here?" Lian Wenwen looked at her while pushing the grind and said.
"Uh......" Ling Danshu muttered, Nunu said, "Just ask." ”
"Will people lend it to us? Whose bicycle is not a baby, I can't wait to carry it. Lian Wenwen shook her head slightly, and said without stopping.
"This ......" Ling Danshu was speechless again.
Lian Wenwen thought for a while and said, "Let's take our time!" ”
Ling Danshu snorted lightly, it's already like this, what else can I do?
Shan Xing walked over and said, "The meal is ready, how are you going to eat?" ”
"Let's go back and get the lunch box." Lian Wenwen immediately said, "Danshu, you continue, I'll go by myself." ”
"By the way, and your classmates had better be called too." Shan Xing reminded her.
"Got it." Lian Wenwen said busily, went out with a smile, and soon came with Shao Xun and them with a lunch box.
After a busy morning, I was starving to death.
One person scooped a lunch box with soup and fish, and then two tortillas for one person.
sat on the stone table and stone bench outside the brigade office to eat.
Shan Xing looked at the stone table and said, "When you finish eating, remember to wash the big iron pot." ”
"Thank you, we will." Lian Wenwen stood up and said quickly.
"Then eat slowly! I'm leaving. Shan Xing looked at them and said.
They watched Shan Xing leave, and then bowed their heads and began to eat.
"I didn't expect this fish to be so delicious." Lian Wenwen exclaimed.
"That's because you're hungry and you eat everything." Ling Danshu craned her neck and swallowed the tortilla before saying, "Why is this tortilla different from what you eat at home?" "It's so hard to pull her throat, it's so hard to swallow, if it weren't for the corn tortillas dipped in fish soup, she wouldn't have been able to eat it.
