Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 59 I don’t want you to do it, I want me to do it!
In order to shake off Lan Yanhong's boring entanglement, Lan Wenxiu couldn't help but quicken her pace again.

Considering the baby in his belly, he didn't dare to walk too fast!
Feeling a little out of breath, I slowed down my pace again.

Just like that, after about five minutes, Lan Wenxiu arrived at the door of her house.

Seeing the door of the earth house open, Lan Wenxiu knew that Fang Hongan must have returned.
Subconsciously, I tiptoed to look behind the house, and sure enough... I saw wisps of white smoke coming out from the top of the fire room.

Lan Wenxiu felt warm in her heart.

She knew that Fang Hongan loved her, and as long as he came back first, he would definitely not sit aside and wait for his wife to come back to cook like some other men.

However, Lan Wenxiu also knew that her husband's cooking skills were quite average.

Thinking that there was still smoke coming out of the fire room and that the work was probably still going on, Lan Wenxiu hurried into the house to help.

As soon as she entered the room, she immediately realized something was wrong.

The whole hall was filled with a strong fragrance.

This fragrance should have come from the fire room. It was the aroma of oil and flour, and also a faint mixed aroma that Lan Wenxiu had never smelled before and could not describe at all, but it was an extremely tempting aroma.

When she smelled it, Lan Wenxiu felt her mouth watering, as if there were really gluttonous worms in her stomach, attracting her and making her want to taste it immediately.

"This……"

With surprise, Lan Wenxiu hurried to the fire room.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the kitchen, I saw my husband's familiar figure. He was holding chopsticks, scooping a handful of noodles from the milky white boiling water and putting them into a large bowl. He also picked up a few slices of vegetables and then ladled a ladle of soup into the bowl.

"Where are the noodles made by Hong An!"

Just when Lan Wenxiu blinked her eyes full of stars and thought that Fang Hongan would bring it out, she saw him scooping in the soup pot with a spatula, scooping out a poached egg and covering the soup.

"It has poached eggs! No wonder it smells so good!"

Lan Wenxiu was sighing inwardly when what happened next made her stare blankly.

After putting the poached egg in the pot, Fang Hongan didn't finish his actions yet. He put down the bowl of noodles in his hand and then lifted the lid of the iron pot on the stove.

As soon as the iron pot was opened, the fragrant and rich aroma immediately rushed into Lan Wenxiu's nose.

At this moment, Lan Wenxiu realized that the "culprit" of the previous tempting aroma was not the poached egg, but the contents of the pot.

While he was stunned, Fang Hongan had already quickly used a spatula to scoop two spoonfuls from the pot and put them into the bowl of noodles.

Surrounded by smoke and heat, Lan Wenxiu couldn't see clearly what it was. She only saw that it was in pieces. It smelled like meat, with a shiny luster and rich, tempting soup.

Lan Wenxiu could no longer bear this scene.

"Gudong!"

She stared with her big, bright eyes and couldn't help swallowing several times.

It was this sound of swallowing saliva that woke up Fang Hongan who was concentrating on his work.

Looking up at his wife standing at the door of the cooking room, who looked surprised and greedy, Fang Hongan could not help but feel a great sense of satisfaction. He smiled and raised his hand: "You're back! Just in time, the noodles are just out of the pot. Wash your hands and wait for me at the table! I've prepared my bowl, let's eat together!"

"Ok!"

Lan Wenxiu nodded, turned around with anticipation, and went to wash her hands and clean the table.

Fang Hongan hurriedly served the second bowl of noodles, then walked out with two bowls of noodles in his hands, smiling.

Putting the noodles in front of Lan Wenxiu, Fang Hongan narrowed his eyes and smiled at Lan Wenxiu: "How is it? Surprise!"

“What a…surprise!”

Lan Wenxiu stuck out her tongue, with a sweet smile on her lips.

As she spoke, she took a deep breath of the enticing aroma rising from the bowl of noodles, resisted the urge to pick up her chopsticks, and looked into the bowl.

“Is this… an eel?”

After taking a look at the extremely tempting topping, Lan Wenxiu finally figured out some clues and asked tentatively.

"Yeah!" Fang Hongan nodded. "Today when I was coming back from Niujiao Bay, I passed by that abandoned ditch and found some eels in it, so I went down to fish for them. I caught about three pounds of eels!"

"Three...three pounds?" Lan Wenxiu's eyes widened again, "Is this...that much?" "Hehe!" Fang Hongan smiled, "I've processed everything. I braised some of it as a topping for the noodles at noon today. I've also fried the remaining half, so we can make a braised eel fillet meal tonight!"

"Braised eel? Can eels be cut open and cooked like this?"

"Hongan! How do you know that eels can be made like this? And you can also roll noodles..."

Lan Wenxiu blinked her eyes and turned into a curious baby again. She seemed to be asking questions, but in fact she was more sighing.

Faced with his doubts one after another, Fang Hongan just smiled mysteriously and evaded the question by saying that he had heard it from others and had tried it today, and unexpectedly it was quite successful.

His explanation was vague, but Lan Wenxiu listened without asking too many questions.

It was obvious that her husband's skill was not as simple as just a try.

I'm afraid it has been brewing and prepared for a long time.

This made Lan Wenxiu think of the bowl of bald noodles they had eaten in the county town more than a year ago.

The two of them were eating very happily at that time.

Fang Hongan also held her hand and said that he would make better noodles for her in the future!

I guess, since then, my husband Fang Hongan has been silently preparing for this day.

At this moment, Lan Wenxiu felt extremely moved and happy.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

Fang Hongan quickly reached out and helped his wife gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Then, he took chopsticks and helped his wife stir the noodles in the bowl to mix the noodles, soup and toppings thoroughly.

"Eat quickly! Don't wait until it gets burnt!" Fang Hongan put the bowl of noodles back in front of his wife.

"Hmm!" Lan Wenxiu picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of noodles first, and after eating a bite, she couldn't wait to pick up the eel slices.

"It's delicious! Hongan!"

He let out a sighing sound.

His eyes were curved into crescent shapes in ecstasy.

Seeing that she was satisfied with the meal, Fang Hongan also felt hungry. He picked up the noodles and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

After a few mouthfuls, even Fang Hongan had to admit that this was the best bowl of noodles he had ever made in his two lifetimes.

I ate it with great pleasure and even drank all the soup.

He has a big mouth and eats fast.

After finishing the noodles and drinking the soup, there was still at least one third of Lan Wenxiu's bowl.

Fang Hongan just lay on the table, grinning and smiling as he watched his wife eat bite by bite with great satisfaction.

Lan Wenxiu took two bites and found something wrong.

She glanced at Fang Hongan with anger, and then said to him solemnly: "Hongan! When you are free! You must teach me how to make this kind of noodles!"

Seeing that she was serious, Fang Hongan couldn't help but chuckle: "Why? You like to eat it? It doesn't matter if you don't have to learn it. Just tell me when you want to eat it and I'll cook it for you!"

"No! I want you to teach me! I don't want you to cook for me! I want to learn how to make better food for you!"

Lan Wenxiu's voice was decisive, yet a little overbearing.

Fang Hongan was speechless for a moment, with a surge of heat in his chest, and he didn't know what to say...

　A small modification was made to Chapter 57 regarding the part about sending noodles to the father-in-law’s house in the previous life.

　　The main reason was that my father-in-law hadn’t celebrated his birthday at that time, so they changed the gift giving schedule to before the New Year.

　　Just know it, no need to go back and look.
