Chapter 205 Beef Noodles

On Sunday, the first ray of sunlight came in from the window in the early morning, and the alarm on the mobile phone placed by the bed rang.

Shen Qiuqiu dazedly reached out to touch the phone on the bedside table, and turned off the alarm.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, she was so sleepy that she really didn't want to get up.

Last night Song Na went to sleep in Grandma Shen's room, while Li Mao and Zhang Meng slept in Shen Qiuqiu's room.

The three little sisters talked endlessly when they got together, and they talked until very late before going to bed.

It felt like I had just closed my eyes and just fell asleep when the alarm rang.

The alarm also woke Li Mao, who was in a light sleep, she turned over and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's still early, you guys sleep a little longer."

Shen Qiuqiu resisted the drowsiness, gently lifted the quilt, got out of bed, changed clothes, and went out.

In the morning of early spring, there was a slight chill in the wind.

The breeze is coming slowly, and the fragrance of flowers and plants is in the air, which makes people feel refreshed, and wakes up after drowsiness.

Shen Qiuqiu took a deep breath, stretched again, and felt comfortable all over.

In the yard, Grandma Shen was sitting on a small grass mound, and Rhubarb was obediently lying in front of her.

The old lady was wearing presbyopic glasses, scratching Rhubarb's fur little by little, rummaging through it.

"Grandma, do you have lice growing on Rhubarb?"

This familiar movement reminded Shen Qiuqiu of his childhood.

At that time, the sanitation conditions in rural areas were not very good, and cats and dogs were prone to parasites, the most common being fleas and lice, which were easily transmitted to humans.

When I was a child, every time I washed my hair, my grandma would rummage through her hair in the sun, fearing that she might get lice.

Probably because of good luck, or because the little girl is more hygienic, she has not been tricked once.

On the other hand, Shen Jiashu, when he was in elementary school, got lice from some unknown place, and he had to shave his head several times before he was cured.

However, now that the rural environment is getting better and better, people are beginning to pay attention to hygiene, and often take a bath and change clothes, so there are fewer and fewer lice and fleas.

Grandma Shen looked up at her granddaughter and explained, "When I got up this morning, I saw Rhubarb squatting there and scratching it. I thought it was fleas. I searched for a long time, but found nothing."

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while and said, "Well, I heard that there is a pet hospital in the county. I'll spare some time another day and take the two of them for deworming. It's time for the little orange to be vaccinated."

Grandma Shen doesn't know what it means to do insect repellent, and she doesn't bother to ask, these things, the granddaughter can make up her own mind.

The old lady nodded and asked again, "Why did you get up so early? If you are sleepy, go to sleep for a while. When Xiao Jiang comes, I will wake you up and have breakfast."

Before leaving last night, Jiang Jincheng specifically told Grandma Shen that she would bring breakfast this morning.

That's why the old lady has time to catch "lice" for rhubarb.

"Don't sleep anymore, I'll go to Uncle Hongxi's house, I have something to do with him." Shen Qiuqiu waved his hand, turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up.

The older generation of rural people do not have the habit of sleeping late.

When Shen Qiuqiu arrived at Lin Hongxi's house, he was holding a bowl of noodles, squatting at the gate of his house and eating them.

"Xiao Hua is here, have you eaten yet? There are still noodles in the pot, I will ask your aunt to serve you a bowl." Lin Hongxi greeted Shen Qiuqiu with a smile.

Shen Qiuqiu waved his hand, indicating that he had already eaten at home, and said, "Uncle Hongxi, I came today to talk to you about something."

Lin Hongxi continued to suck and slurp the noodles, and asked casually, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Rural people are not so particular, and it is normal to eat and chat while holding a rice bowl.

Shen Qiuqiu simply told about Song Guangqin and the others' coming.

Shen Qiuqiu could organize such an activity by herself, but out of respect for the village chief, she decided to invite Lin Hongxi to organize it.

Lin Hongxi took a big mouthful of the soup, squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's a good thing. I'll go to the loudspeaker and tell the village children under the age of 16 to gather at the village committee at nine o'clock. Tell them what you want to do."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Hongxi." Shen Qiuqiu thanked her with a smile, took her leave and left.

Coming out of the alley of Lin Hongxi's house, Shen Qiuqiu walked home along the main road.

After walking for a while, the sound of a car engine came from behind.

Jiang Jincheng's car came slowly and stopped beside her.

He leaned forward and opened the co-pilot's door, motioning for Shen Qiuqiu to get in the car.

Shen Qiuqiu got into the car with a smile on her face.

As soon as I got in the car, I smelled a strong smell of meat, as if it was beef.

She sniffed and sniffed hard, and her eyes lit up.

"Is it Yuan Kangbao's Braised Beef Noodles?"

Yuankangbao is a time-honored beef noodle shop in the county; the beef soup base uses a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors, which is delicious and delicious, making people never get tired of eating it.

This store has been open in the county for more than 30 years, and its business is booming, and it is very famous in Tianshui area.

Their home is only open in the morning, and they close when they are sold out, so they want to eat early.

Shen Qiuqiu has eaten it several times, and he never forgets it.

As soon as I smell it, I remember it.

Jiang Jincheng nodded, with a doting smile in his eyes.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, he stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, "Grandma said you have a dog's nose, and it seems to be true."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and dodged it, and saw the time on the dashboard, it was only [-]:[-].

From the town to the county seat, it takes more than 20 minutes to take the expressway; and then line up to buy noodles, and it takes an hour or two to go back and forth.

How early is it worth getting up...

Suddenly, my heart was full of emotion and joy.

Shen Qiuqiu took the initiative to hold his outstretched palm and asked him, "What time did you get up today?"

Jiang Jincheng smiled and answered honestly, "06:30."

Shen Qiuqiu was both moved and distressed.

"Actually, there are a lot of delicious food in the town, so you don't need to make a special trip there; if you want to eat the food in the county, next time we go together, okay?"

Jiang Jincheng glanced at her with a smile, held her hand behind his back, and nodded.

While speaking, the car had already arrived at the gate of Shen's small courtyard.

As soon as the car stopped, Grandma Shen came out to greet her.

Seeing Shen Qiuqiu get off the car, he couldn't help asking, "Why are you two together?"

"I met on the road." Shen Qiuqiu explained, and went around to the back of the car to help Jiang Jincheng get things.

Jiang Jincheng was very considerate, fearing that the noodles would be lumpy and affect the taste, he specially brought a fresh-keeping box and asked the store to pack the soup, noodles, beef and seasoning separately.

Beef soup and beef are packed in a large 5L fresh-keeping box; the noodles are hand-rolled or raw, and a big bag is full, enough for more than a dozen people; coriander, green onion, mint and other seasonings are also packed bag.

Grandma Shen quickly boiled the noodles, poured the beef soup into the soup pot and reheated it.

As the beef soup churned, a strong aroma wafted from the small courtyard of the Shen family.
