Chapter 83: First Day of Merit (Monthly Ticket 160)
Chapter 83 Meritorious Service on the First Day (Monthly Ticket 160+)
He Tiantian is very confident in her craftsmanship.
"Haha, practice makes perfect." He Tiantian smiled and said, "After you do it a few times, you will get good at it. It doesn't matter. I have already done it. You can just pluck the chicken feathers from the side and I will clean the internal organs."
The two of them divided the work, and it only took less than half an hour, but they had already completely cleaned it up.
Now that the weather is getting cold, Director Zhao put the dough containing the primer on the large pot and started to heat it to speed up the fermentation.
This is a technical job, and most people really don’t know how to do it. Director Zhao's family used to be in the steamed bun business. With such skills, the steamed buns were made quickly and delicious, so he has been responsible for steaming steamed buns in the village canteen.
After making the dough, it’s time to start making steamed buns.
The large pot was filled with water, and firewood was burning underneath. Big flames shot out from the bottom of the pot from time to time.
There was a whole big basin of noodles, bulging like a drum. I opened the cage cloth and peeled some off on the chopping board.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan knew how to do this. The three of them kneaded the dough together and kneaded it into fist-sized dough. The three of them kept moving and moved very fast.
Zhao Dajiao originally thought that He Tiantian was a city girl and couldn't make steamed buns, but now he saw that He Tiantian could cook better than Qi Xiaoyan, and he was very happy. The more He Tiantian does, the lighter she becomes. This is why rural people like to work with hard-working people.
Don’t be lazy, finish it early and take a break.
There are fist-sized dough balls on the chopping board, chubby, soft, and very cute, and they were formed from the hands of the three people.
A large steamer with a diameter of one meter and two meters had been placed on the pot. Seeing that there were dozens of them on the table, Zhao Dajiao began to put them into the steamer.
He Tiantian over there, Qi Xiaoyan's speed increased, and she could actually keep up with Zhao Dajiao's speed of putting it into the pot.
It took less than an hour to knead a large basin of dough and put it into the steamer. Zhao Dajiao had already counted the quantity just now. This time, there were 132 men and 21 women who came to work. Men's steamed buns are larger and women's steamed buns are smaller. Two steamed buns per person, no more, no less.
Zhao Dajiao was watching the fire here, and then started to chop chicken on the cutting board. He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan carried a large basket of radishes and cabbage to the stream to wash.
By the time He Tiantian, Qi Xiaoyan and the others came back, Zhao Dajiao's steamed buns had been steamed, placed in three large baskets on the side, and covered with clean cloths.
There are two remaining pots, one for cooking wild vegetable and egg soup, and one for stir-frying. After about half an hour, the vegetables were finally cooked.
The two chickens were cut into 160 pieces by Zhao Dajiao, neither big nor small, and everyone could get a small piece. Although there is less meat, because these two pheasants are fatter and have a lot of oil, they are stewed with cabbage and radish, and the taste is much better than pure radish and cabbage.
There is also a large pot of fungus and egg soup on the side, which is much better than eating at home. Although the steamed buns are thick, Zhao Dajiao is very good at making steamed buns, and the steamed buns he makes are particularly chewy.
After working hard for several hours, I finally prepared meals for more than a hundred people. The work was not light, but it was a little cleaner than working in the river.
Qi Xiaoyan went to her father and told him that the meal was ready.
Village Chief Qi looked up at the sky and saw that it was time for lunch, so he asked everyone to stop, wash their hands, and go eat.
Everyone took out their own bowls, chopsticks, and some lunch boxes, and queued up to get rice. When everyone saw that there was a piece of meat in the radish and cabbage in the pot, they were very surprised.
The second captain Qi Shuming laughed and asked, "The commune is so generous this year. They actually gave me meat on the first day!"
Zhao Dajiao was serving food to everyone and said, "It's from the commune. Xiaoyan and Tiantian went to the woods to find firewood and caught two pheasants and a dozen pheasants. They saw everyone working. I’m tired, so I’ll contribute it to everyone. After eating the meat, you have to work hard!”
Qi Xiaoyan was serving steamed buns on the side, and He Tiantian was responsible for serving soup for everyone.
When everyone heard that today's chicken was contributed by He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan, they all praised He Tiantian and felt grateful.
Seeing everyone like this, He Tiantian felt happy, and finally her efforts were not in vain.
Eating fragrant chicken stewed with radish and cabbage, drinking fungus and egg soup, and eating chewy steamed buns, the high-intensity fatigue in the morning is nothing!
The only educated youths who came this time were He Tiantian, Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan, Sister Wu, and Ye Xiaofan. Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli usually work slowly, so they were not allowed to come this time. Although there is no need to work hard, there is no money or food. But Lin Xiaoru was eager to come, and she didn’t want to do dirty and tiring work!
As for Li Mingkai, he was also excluded!
"Tiantian, Xiaoyan, come here to eat." Sister Wu greeted He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan and asked them to come over and eat.
The three of them who were in charge of cooking started eating after sharing the food with others. The previous educated youths were very particular and took a long time to wash themselves, so they were last in line and had dinner with He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan.
He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan came together with bowls and steamed buns.
Wang Lei gave the chicken to Sister Wu, and Sister Wu gave the chicken to Wang Lei, giving it back and forth. The same goes for Zhang Qingshan and Ye Xiaofan over there.
"You guys, each have their own food, and there is still life to be had in the afternoon." He Tiantian smiled and said, these two couples are very loving, and I really hope they can grow old together.
"That's right, anyway, the food is enough, and it's very fragrant. There's oil and water, so don't give in. We feel sour when we see it." Qi Xiaoyan said with a smile. Following He Tiantian, she also chatted with the educated youths. Get closer.
The four people were embarrassed to give way to each other and ate separately.
"Burp..." Wang Lei burped, "Tiantian, Xiaoyan, the food you cook is so delicious. If I can eat such delicious food every day and be full, I would rather work every day."
"Haha, I'm lucky today, but I may not be so lucky tomorrow." He Tiantian sighed. She also wanted to eat, but the Snake King had to practice, so she couldn't disturb the Snake King every day.
"Sister Tiantian, when we were washing vegetables just now, we saw fish in the stream. Tomorrow we will bring the fishing net over, maybe we can catch some fish. Let's bring more ginger and stew fish soup." Qi Xiaoyan said, fish soup is also very nutritious.
"We haven't entered the water yet today. There are a lot of water plants at the bottom of the river. There must be fish in it. Let's go into the water tomorrow to feel it. It would be even better if we can touch fish." Zhang Qingshan said, as long as there is food now, it doesn't matter if we are a little tired or a little cold.
"Yes, go back and find a few baskets, put earthworms in them, maybe we can catch eels and loaches." Wang Lei said, and it was clear that he had done this before.
"Even snakes can be stewed into soup!" Zhang Qingshan added that his family is from the south, and people in that area like to eat snake soup.
