After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

Chapter 26 Eating

Zhou Zhengan knocked on the door of Diwozi with a lunch box in hand.

He came out from the cafeteria to get food, and hurried straight here without eating with Jiang Yifan.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the door of Diwozi, I could smell the fragrance unexpectedly.

 “Summer Solstice!”

 “Captain Zhou, please come in quickly.”

 The person who helped him lift the curtain was Liu Qianjin.

Liu Jinjin had a smile on his face. That bright smile made Zhou Zhengan feel a little strange. What could this young man be happy about?

Just having one meal, are you so happy?

 Liu Qianjin is not like him, and he only has to eat rice during the summer solstice to be delicious.

 “Go forward, what are you happy about?”

Liu Qianjin was just a child, and he immediately said mysteriously,

“Captain Zhou, guess we got something good today.”

 Zhou Zheng is at peace,

 “What good stuff can you get?”

 “I won’t tell you.”

 The summer solstice has greeted you.

“Okay, let’s get ready to eat.”

 When talking about eating, Liu Zhiyan suddenly exclaimed.

“What can we do? We don’t have a dining table or stools. How can we eat here?”

 Indeed, there is nothing here.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and turned the basket he had just knitted upside down.

“Okay, let’s use this as a dining table. If you don’t have a stool, just eat on it.

We can only make do and wait until I have time in these two days.

 Get some more reeds and weave some stools. "

 Xia Zhi feels that there are too many things that need to be used.

 You can’t buy it with money here.

“There is no need to weave stools. I have a few small mats that can be moved to you.”

Zhou Zhengan suddenly remembered the little Maza in his dormitory.

 “Okay, then next time you bring the pony over.”

Zhou Zhengan also placed the two lunch boxes in his hands on the basket.

"I'd better bring the food from the canteen. I don't want to eat your food for free. This is not appropriate. Your rations are limited. Just treat it as my rations."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiyan hurriedly opened the lunch box. Of course she knew about the food in the cafeteria, so she would naturally have some preferential treatment for a captain like Zhou Zhengan.

Sure enough, I exclaimed as soon as I opened it.

 “Ouch, I’m having chicken today.”

 Half of the lunch box was stewed with chicken nuggets and potatoes.

The other half of the lunch box contained soy sauce tofu, and the other lunch box was full of rice.

 For them, this is immediately a sign of eating meat.

 In fact, Zhou Zhengan’s food is much better than theirs, and it would be a big disadvantage for people to come over to eat.

Zhou Zhengan handed over another bunch of green onions, two heads of Chinese cabbage, and a piece of tofu.

“You have just settled down and haven’t had time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. You must be out of food, so I got some for you.”

Xia Zhi glanced at it and said, "Captain Zhou, you are too polite. How much does this cost? We have to pay you. Even if we bought it."

 “Okay, eight cents, give it to me when you’re done.”

Zhou Zhengan is also welcome.

 He is not taken advantage of.

 Put the egg blossoms into the pimple soup.

 Thanks to Zhou Zhengan’s green onions, you can use chopped green onions to stir-fry the pot.

 After finishing cooking the pot, the whole room was filled with a strong fragrance.

 Several people are a little bit arrogant.

 Xia Zhi not only made pimple soup, but also made duck egg pancakes using wild duck eggs and flour.

 The roasted green onion pancake is placed on the table. This is the specialty of the summer solstice.

Zhou Zhengan looked at the pancakes, which were golden in color, even though there wasn't much oil.

These days, when everyone uses oil, they tie a piece of cloth to the head of a chopstick. When cooking, dip the chopstick into some oil and smear it in the pot.

 After all, the amount of oil a person can get in a year is only eight taels.     Yes, you heard me right, it’s one year.

 Taken together in one month, there is not even one tael.

 It is simply a dream to eat stir-fried vegetables.

 Zhou Zhengan was a little surprised to see the golden pancakes.

Of course I couldn't help but sniff when I smelled the fragrance. Who knew it was produced in Xia Zhi?

 Zhou Zhengan already felt very satisfied.

Four people gathered around a basket. There were no stools. They squatted in front of them, holding lunch boxes and chopsticks in their hands.

　　If you want to talk about the country squatting in the future, they are now.

　　"Come on, let's eat. Eat it while it's hot. This cake will definitely be delicious when it's hot."

　　Take off your apron at the summer solstice.

 With the words "summer solstice", everyone immediately started.

Zhou Zhengan didn’t care about the food in his lunch box, but instead focused on pancakes and pimple soup.

 The fundamental reason is that the lunch box was not touched at all during the summer solstice.

Zhou Zhengan took one bite, and the pancake was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The layer was as thin as paper, with a strong onion flavor and a crispy taste.

I don’t know how Xia Zhi is made. Although it doesn’t use much oil, it tastes very special.

Zhou Zhengan was so delicious that he ate two pancakes in one go.

These two pieces are not the two pieces in everyone’s concept.

 Nowadays, people have less fat and water in their stomachs and have a larger appetite. Their piece of pancake is basically a pancake, and it is not the size of the egg-filled pancake that people sold on the streets in later generations.

 It is fully twice as big as that.

 Two pieces are two pancakes.

 A total of six pancakes were baked during the summer solstice. Considering everyone's appetite, the girls had one pancake each and the men had two pancakes each.

 Seriously, they ate two kilograms of flour in this meal.

Xia Zhi also knows that if you eat this way, you will definitely not be able to eat the autumn harvest.

But I will find a way to hunt for wild food.

 Others don't know this place. She is too familiar with this place, not that she is familiar with the terrain.

 It’s about what things can be unexpectedly obtained as food on this land.

 She came from that era in order to be able to take good care of Ding Jiannan back then.

 She gave all her fine grain to Ding Jiannan and relied on herself to find various food supplements outside to survive.

 Otherwise, I will starve to death early.

Zhou Zhengan was actually half full after eating two pieces of pancakes, but after looking at the number of pancakes, he figured out that the summer solstice was based on the number of people.

I didn’t feel embarrassed to reach out my hand again, but instead picked up the bowl of pimple soup.

Xia Zhi glanced at Zhou Zhengan’s box of rice and vegetables.

The food they brought over was not much at all, and I didn’t even eat a bite after bringing it over.

 In fact, they take advantage of others.

 Liu Qianjin is just a child if you don't see him.

 At this moment, I can’t even lift my head from eating. In addition to eating pancakes, I’m also busy eating chicken.

 Xia Zhi placed his own pancake directly in front of Zhou Zhengan.

"I'm stuffed."

 Zhou Zhengan lied without changing his expression.

No matter how much he wanted to eat, he couldn't take away a girl's rations.

Xia Zhi just put it into his bowl.

“I have pimple soup, and I want to eat some rice. Please help me eat the pancakes, otherwise they won’t taste good if they get cold.”

As soon as Zhou Zhengan heard this, he consciously picked up the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

But there was still more than half of the rice box left.

Xia Zhi did not waste it. He kept the rice and brought back a clean and empty lunch box for Zhou Zhengan.

Zhou Zhengan ate in the cafeteria, but when he took it home, it became a cold meal.

But these rice can also be used to make fried rice for the next meal, and they happen to have duck eggs.

 Get fried rice with green onions and duck eggs, it’s absolutely delicious.

It seems that we have to find a way to plant some soybeans when spring comes. Then there will be a way to extract oil. If we don’t plant soybeans, we have to plant some peanuts.
