1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Yingzi, haven't you finished changing yet?"

"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry?"

"We'll come out to eat after we've finished changing. We're making hand-rolled noodles today, and we've been kneading the dough for a long time."

"Teacher Chen, do we really have to pick out all these soybeans with chopsticks?"

"Yes, it's a good opportunity for you to practice."

Fang Zhiyong: "..."

He really didn't know what to say. It was half a sack of soybeans, more than 100 kilograms.

He had carried them back with so much effort, and he still wanted to pick them up for himself?

Is it that easy to pick?

But Chen Tiezhu didn't have time to care about Fang Zhiyong, who was aggrieved. He was waiting anxiously at the door of the east room.

He was anxious. He was really anxious.

He just wanted to see what Han Xiuying looked like after changing into new clothes. It's been almost half an hour, why hasn't she come out yet?

At this time, the door of the east room opened, and Chen Tiezhu was shocked.

The door curtain lifted a corner, and Chen Tiezhu also looked down.

A pair of tiger-headed cotton shoes appeared in front of him, and he was a little disappointed.

"Dad, do they look good?"

Doudou, who also changed into a new outfit, came out and asked happily.

"Yeah, my eldest daughter is really pretty. When I have time, Dad will make you a little tiger hat, which will make it even prettier." Chen Tiezhu held her in his arms.

This is not perfunctory, this is also a sincere compliment.

The little red jacket, flowery cotton pants, small tiger-headed shoes, plus the bright smile on her little face, Doudou is really very attractive.

"Tell Dad secretly, sister Yingzi has changed into a new cotton jacket and cotton pants, do they look good?" Chen Tiezhu asked to coax his daughter.

"Yeah..., they look good."

Doudou thought about it and nodded her little head. Anyway, sister Yingzi is pretty.

"Why are you asking nonsense questions?"

At this time, Han Xiuying's voice came over.

After the words fell, the person also walked out through the curtain.

Chen Tiezhu was really dumbfounded.

The big flowered cotton pants and the little red cotton jacket, which should have looked a bit rustic, actually had a sense of playfulness and beauty when worn on Han Xiuying.

Especially Han Xiuying's somewhat cramped and unplaced hands, coupled with the shyness on her cheeks, really made Chen Tiezhu stare straight.

"I'd better change it back, it's too bright."

After waiting for a while without any comments, Han Xiuying became even more shy.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this is just right." Chen Tiezhu hurriedly grabbed her arm.

"Tsk tsk, it's really amazing. People often say that Buddha relies on gold and horses rely on saddles. In my opinion, clothes still rely on people. Look at this little red jacket, this little button, this little figure..."

"Go away, go cook."

Hearing that this guy was getting more and more lawless, Han Xiuying had no shame at all and kicked him directly.

Doudou was no longer surprised. Anyway, sister Yingzi always beat her father, and her father was quite happy.

"Hehe, people are more beautiful than flowers, what a beautiful village girl."

Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, hurry up and cook." Han Xiuying glared at him.

She was really helpless in her heart. She really didn't want to buy it today, but who knew that she would buy it. Not only did she buy it, but she also helped him bargain.

"Hehe, I'll take care of it. Doudou, we have to make two sauces today, egg sauce and meat sauce. Put whatever sauce you like." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah, use whatever sauce you like." Doudou nodded happily.

But in his heart, who would want egg sauce when there is meat sauce?

The noodles had been kneaded long ago, rolled into a large thin sheet, sprinkled with some flour and rolled. When the rolls touched the ends, pick up the kitchen knife and start cutting.

Because there is auxiliary flour, there is no need to worry about the noodles sticking together.

Just pick up the cut noodles, shake them on the chopping board a few times, and throw them into the open pot.

Fang Zhiyong was calmly burning the fire beside the stove. He didn't dare to participate in the war between Chen Tiezhu and Han Xiuying.

After the noodles were cooked, they were directly placed in the basin, and a few spoonfuls of noodle soup were poured on them.

After all, it is winter now, and it tastes better to eat hot.

"Okay, let's eat now." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, what do Gou Shengzi and Xiao Mi Hu Dan eat?" Doudou asked.

"Don't worry, Dad will make some dumpling soup for them, just to fool them, and then we can have something delicious to eat in the evening." Chen Tiezhu said.

Doudou nodded obediently, and he didn't have to worry about it.

"You can't eat noodles without garlic. With garlic, at least you can have an extra bowl of noodles."

After preparing the meal for Gou Shengzi and the little fox, Chen Tiezhu directly brought a few heads of garlic.

"Find me two small cloves, the big ones are too spicy." Han Xiuying said.

"What's there to worry about?Eat whatever you want." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

Then he rubbed his hands together and rubbed off a lot of garlic skin.

He rubbed three garlic heads in a row and finally found two nice-looking small cloves.

As for Doudou, he didn't care whether to eat garlic or not. He had already picked a small bowl of noodles, scooped a large spoonful of meat sauce, and started eating.

"In the future, I have to get a scarf for my eldest daughter, otherwise the little cotton-padded jacket won't be enough." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Eat. "

Hearing him mention "padded jacket" again, Han Xiuying glared at him.

Although padded jackets and trousers are comfortable to wear, the color is too eye-catching.

Chen Tiezhu didn't dare to say anything more. He scooped up a bowl of noodles, scooped up two spoonfuls of egg sauce, and took a big mouthful after stirring.

Although the color of the flour is not as white as in later generations, it has a strong noodle aroma. The chewy and smooth taste, with the fragrance of egg sauce, and a bite of garlic, is really a perfect match.

He ate one or two bowls of noodles in a short time, and even put in two heads of garlic.

It was really satisfying, and then scooped up the second bowl.

This time it was meat sauce.

"Dad, how can you eat so much?"

Doudou, who worked hard for a long time to finish the noodles in his small bowl, looked at Chen Tiezhu and asked.

"Then Dad is strong, and the noodles are so delicious, so he must eat more. "Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"He is just a glutton. Doudou doesn't want to learn from him." Han Xiuying said.

"Well, Doudou doesn't want to learn from his father. Sister Yingzi, give me some more noodles." Doudou said obediently.

"You said you don't want to learn from him, don't hold it." Han Xiuying said helplessly.

"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll dig your eyeballs out."

Just after picking up a chopstick for Doudou, she found that Chen Tiezhu's eyes were looking at her cunningly. Han Xiuying was really angry.

Used to wearing loose uniforms, who would have thought that this little red jacket fits so well?

Now I don't dare to straighten my waist.

"Hehe, I didn't see anything, it's just a little dazzling. Why are noodles so delicious, even without sauce." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Tiezhu, are you home? "

At this time, Qiao Shulin's voice came from outside.
