Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 65 Start of Construction ([-])

Just when Xie Linfeng was preparing breakfast.

I wonder if it was the aroma of food from making pancakes that disturbed the two women's sleep.

Anyway, in Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing's room, the two women slowly woke up.

The two women who had just woken up stretched themselves in unison and looked around drowsily.

No, the two accidentally looked at each other, smiled at each other and said hello to each other!
"Nan Nan, morning!"

"Anko, it's early for you too!"

After saying hello, Chen Nanxing coquettishly buried her head in Xu Hongdou's arms.

After gently arching her back, Chen Nanxing said in a sweet tone:

"What smells so good? I was awakened by the aroma. I'm so hungry now!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou touched Chen Nanxing's little head lovingly in her arms, nodded and said:
"Me too, I was suddenly awakened by the smell. It smelled like pancakes from our north?"

Xu Hongdou is from the north, so she is very familiar with the aroma of northern pancakes.

"Get up, let's go downstairs and take a look. Didn't you say you're hungry?"

Xu Hongdou gently shook Chen Nanxing's shoulders and said in a gentle tone.

When Chen Nanxing heard this, he rolled on the bed with "Hmm, um" and then got up obediently.

Afterwards, Xu Hongdou also got up and changed her clothes, then went to the bathroom to wash up.

Half an hour later, the two women finished packing and walked downstairs towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xie Linfeng had already fried the pancakes and was about to serve the breakfast to the table.

The sudden arrival of the two women was just right, and Xie Linfeng couldn't help but smile:
"Hey, you guys got up so early?"

"You're here just in time, come and help bring out the prepared breakfast!"

Saying that, Xie Linfeng ordered him rather rudely.

Hearing this, the two women nodded obediently and then began to help serve breakfast.

Breakfast was a lot, not only a big pot of porridge, but also a big basket of pancakes.

When the two women saw this, they looked a little confused. Chen Nanxing asked curiously:
"Hey, why did you make so much? Can we eat so much?"

During the questioning, she had already volunteered to hold up the dustpan with the pancakes in front of Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou, on the other hand, looked at the two people at a loss after being robbed of his job.

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he did not rush to reply to Chen Nanxing's inquiry. Instead, he said to Xu Hongdou:
"Anko, you are responsible for picking up that stack of bowls and chopsticks!"

With that said, Xie Linfeng pointed to a large pile of washed dishes and chopsticks on the stove.

Looking at the quantity, the pile of dishes and chopsticks was really quite large, at least a dozen or twenty.

Afterwards, Xie Linfeng said to Chen Nanxing:

"Of course this is not only our breakfast, but also lunch for the workers later."

"The workers will be entering the site later. Prepare some porridge and pancakes for them to have as a snack at noon."

"It just so happens that both porridge and pancakes are not afraid of letting them cool, so I will make more at once and let them sit for a while!"

In the countryside of southwest China, if someone at home helps with work, they need to prepare lunch.

In local dialect, it is called "beating waist Shaowu" or "beating half Shaowu", which refers to the time around ten o'clock in the morning.

Yao refers to halfway up the mountain, which means halfway.

Translated in detail, half of the time period has passed between morning and noon.

And this beating does not mean hitting or hitting someone, but means eating.

Therefore, "waist Shaowu" and "beating Ban Shaowu" refer to eating half of the meal at noon.Usually those who do physical work will feel a little hungry at that time.

Basically, the host will prepare some steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge and the like for entertaining.

Xie Linfeng, whether in his previous life or in this life, was a rural person in the southwestern region.

Therefore, he clearly knows some customs in the countryside of the southwest.

No, I thought I would prepare lunch later anyway, so I might as well prepare it all at once in the morning.

This also saves you from having to wait until noon to do it in a hurry, which is so troublesome!
After listening to Xie Linfeng's introduction, the two women nodded in understanding.

To be honest, for two women living in the north and in the city.

This was the first time they had heard of these customs in the southwest.

Therefore, the two women were somewhat curious, and Chen Nanxing couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Then if you treat the workers to lunch, can others still have lunch at noon?"

"Besides, there is lunch in the morning, but what about the afternoon?"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded with a chuckle and said:
"Of course there are also in the afternoon, usually between three and four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Also, do you have any misunderstandings about their workers who do manual labor?"

"For workers who do physical work, they consume a lot of energy."

"It is difficult to meet the physical exertion by just relying on three meals a day, so you need to replenish your physical strength in time."

"The emergence of midday lunch just provides some supplement to those workers who do manual labor."

“By the way, it also allows the workers to take a break, which is a win-win situation!”

After listening to Xie Linfeng's explanation, the two women nodded suddenly this time.

Soon, the food was put on the table by the three of them, and the three of them began to eat together.

The pancakes just out of the pan are slightly crispy and taste particularly good.

Served with sticky rice porridge and spicy and sour pickles, it’s so exciting!

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing originally wanted to pretend to be elegant and use chopsticks to hold pancakes to make porridge.

However, Xie Linfeng was a little rude.

He grabbed the pancakes with one hand and picked up the porridge bowl with the other hand and took a big gulp.

Seemingly attracted by Xie Linfeng's "bold" actions, the two women couldn't help but look at each other.

Then, they put down their chopsticks in unison and began to imitate Xie Linfeng's movements and start eating.

Xie Linfeng looked at the two women who had let go of their reserve, especially Xu Hongdou, who was full of fairy spirit.

It felt like a fairy falling into the mortal world, which made Xie Linfeng feel a little enlightened for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, Xie Linfeng soon came back to his senses.

However, Xu Hongdou's ears turned slightly red involuntarily.

Obviously, Xu Hongdou had noticed Xie Linfeng's previous gaze.

She now regrets why she had to be so "bold" and imitate Xie Linfeng's way of eating.

However, not to mention, although this way of eating may seem a bit inelegant, it really tastes better!

The little moves of the two people were quite secretive. Except for the person involved, even Chen Nanxing, who had the sharpest eyes, did not notice it.

The main reason is that at this time, all Chen Nanxing's thoughts are on eating.

No, she is sitting quietly aside, eating deliciously with big mouthfuls!
