Reborn as a landlord!I can

Li Manping followed the village chief's wife to the kitchen and saw that only the village chief's wife was busy kneading dough. She looked around carefully and found that the big iron pot had not been cleaned yet. She took the initiative to take the loofah pulp from the shabu-shabu pot and help clean it. After putting a little water in the pot, I couldn't find any work to do, so I stood aside awkwardly.

"Help me light the fire. Light the fire now and add a little more water to the pot. I want to steam the steamed buns." The village chief's wife noticed her embarrassment and hurriedly spoke to guide her.

Li Manping sat down in front of the stove, struck a match and lit the thatch. As soon as the thatch started to burn, she quickly stuffed it into the stove hole, added firewood in a decent manner and started to cook the pot.

Now that she had something to do, she was no longer embarrassed. She just sat on the small stool and watched Grandma Zhang quickly arrange the lunch meal.

She kneaded a large pot of yellow and black dough that had been proofed in advance, and kneaded it into dough of about the same size. She placed it on the bamboo bamboo strips specially made for steaming steamed buns, and put a grate in between them before picking it up. Set aside.It only took a few minutes to knead all the dough in the basin into balls, and the movements were so quick.

Li Manping turned out to be a post-90s generation, born in an ordinary family in the county town. She had never seen crops in the fields with her own eyes, but she had seen the new century flour, which was snow-white and delicate, not the yellow-black dough in front of her, and she could still see grains. On it, she carefully identified what kind of powder it was, but there was no such relevant information in her knowledge.

"This is sorghum noodles mixed with wheat noodles. We country folk are used to eating them together like this."

Seeing that she didn't know what it was, Grandma Zhang explained casually, put a grate of steamed buns into the steaming pot, placed a wooden rack on top of the grate, stacked a grate of steamed buns, and covered it with a grate. Put the lid on the pot so that you can make two cages of steamed buns at once without having to steam them slowly one at a time.

"Girl from the Li family, the fire is a little higher. When steaming steamed buns, steam them over high heat at first, then use medium heat after boiling the pot." Seeing that the fire was too small, the village chief's wife quickly reminded her, "Only steamed buns steamed over high heat are soft and delicious. .”

"Okay, right away." Li Manping didn't understand this, but she listened to others' advice and quickly threw a few more dry firewood in. Watching the fire swell up immediately, and occasionally sparks would pop out, which frightened her and she quickly backed away to avoid it. .

Seeing that the firewood was almost burning, she continued to throw a few more in to ensure that the fire would not become smaller.

The village chief's wife saw that she was cooking well, so she went to prepare other dishes without worries and just waited in the pot. It would take about ten minutes for the steamed buns to be cooked.

Because she decided to have guests for dinner at the last minute, she did not prepare in advance, so she planned to make a pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli. Because the pig at home was just killed yesterday to make bacon, so there was ready-made meat. The meat was still fresh, and she could cut two or three kilograms of meat to go with it. Vermicelli.

The weather in the north is generally cold, so I like to eat stew. Although the stew does not have a gorgeous appearance, it is very warm in the mouth.

The village chief's wife took out a large handful of sweet potato vermicelli from the cupboard and put it into another iron pot. The water in it was boiling hot, and the vermicelli rolled in it for a few times until it softened. She picked it up and put it in a basin filled with cold water. , use a knife to cut the vermicelli in half horizontally and vertically, and break the long vermicelli into several pieces. "This way, it will not be easy to break into small sections when soaked in cold water and simmered." He found that her eyes were fixed on the vermicelli basin. , eyes full of curiosity, the village chief's wife told her that this is all wisdom in life, and it is good to know more.

The village chief's wife wiped her hands on her apron and explained sheepishly, "Girl, time is tight and we don't have time to prepare big dishes. Today we will eat pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, pig's blood sauerkraut soup and leek scrambled eggs. We will come back when you guys stay in the village. At Aunt Zhang’s house, I’ll make you chicken stewed with mushrooms, stewed goose in an iron pot, big bones in sauce, and a smorgasbord.”

Li Manping smiled and said, "Grandma Zhang, these are quite abundant today. There is no need to prepare other meals. I'm sorry to cost you so much."

Seeing that she really didn't mind, the village chief's wife took out a Chinese cabbage from the basket, peeled off the injured old leaves, scooped two ladles of water and poured it into a basin, then washed the basin in the yard and replaced it. After watering twice, cut into thin strips and set aside.

Then he went to the kitchen and brought out a piece of marinated pork belly. It looked like it was at least two and a half kilograms.I washed the salt water hanging on the surface, cut the meat into thin slices with a kitchen knife, and put it in a large bowl.

He took out a large basin of pig's blood from the cupboard, scraped a circle with the tip of a knife along the edge of the basin, and then made a few strokes of the knife horizontally and vertically inside, and the pig's blood was ready.Then he grabbed a bowl of pickled cabbage that had been soaked for a long time from the pickle jar in the backyard, washed it under clean water, chopped it quickly on the chopping board, and put it in another bowl.

Seeing that the leeks had not been selected yet, Li Manping hurriedly took the leeks to the stove and carefully selected them.

"Take your time. I'll make pork blood soup and pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli first. These two dishes don't get cold easily. You can make them first and put them aside."

Li Manping nodded, and while choosing vegetables, she watched Aunt Zhang put the steamed buns in the dustpan, scoop out water and rinse the large pot.

Li Manping placed the picked leeks on the chopping board and hurried back to light the fire. Now that she was going to stir-fry, she should have a high fire.

Under Grandma Zhang's skillful hands, the three dishes were quickly fried.It only takes about 10 minutes before and after.

Grandma Zhang stretched her neck and shouted, "Old Liu, are you okay? Let's set the table for dinner."

Grandma Zhang carried two large pots of pork, cabbage and stewed vermicelli on a tray to the main room, followed by Li Manping. She was not strong enough, so she held the tray with eight bowls and eight pairs of chopsticks.

"Come on, come on, girl, take a seat and let your aunt do her business. You are a guest, so why keep you busy?" The village chief stopped Li Manping, who wanted to go in and help serve the dishes.

"This girl is hard-working. She helped me out when I was busy alone. It's really good." The village chief's wife who brought out the dishes also praised loudly.

Li Manping didn't know how to answer, so she could only laugh dryly.

She was originally a person who enjoyed quietness and solitude, with a relatively introverted temperament. In her previous life, she was also a lone ranger. She would go to the office at [-]:[-] a.m. every day. She would come home from work and hardly go out for shopping. If she needed to buy something, she would choose to shop online. Everything is available online. Also delivered to your home.

Girls of the same age were busy making friends, falling in love, and shopping, but she was not interested in any of these.

Except for the occasional party that she couldn't escape from, she would force herself to attend, but when she got to the party, she would sit silently in the corner and watch other people's lively banter, where she would quietly savor the tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

This kind of beauty that cannot be told to others cannot be separated from others. It is happiness that belongs only to her.

Li Yixing finally noticed Li Manping's discomfort and changed the subject with a natural smile, "Auntie's cooking is really good. You don't need to taste it, just smell it to know that these dishes are delicious. Uncle Liu is really lucky to be able to eat them all the time. Auntie’s great craftsmanship!”

The village chief's wife was very proud. Finally, someone saw through her plump figure how good she was on the inside. She nodded reservedly and blurted out modest words, "It's okay, it's just some home-cooked food. You can eat more if you like." , It’s rare that you have good taste, hahaha ~ Unlike some people, they have been eating for decades without knowing what to do.” He was so angry that he glared at the village chief for a few times, his eyes were really sharp and cold.

Li Yixing did not dare to look at Village Chief Liu, nor did he dare to talk to him anymore. He immediately sat down. When he sat down, he did not forget to tug at the corner of his wife's clothes and gently raised his chin to indicate that he would join her.

The others didn't say anything, they all sat down quietly and consciously to eat, as fast as if they had been hungry for days.
