Rebirth in the Great Era: Ordinary Years

Chapter 285 Lamb Soup

"Yes, mutton soup!"

Shouts of surprise came from the Sun's kitchen. Shaoping opened the lunch box, staring at the muddy broth with a few slices of mutton in it.

Lan Xiang was even more exaggerated, she leaned her nose to the lunch box and smelled the meat, ignoring the smoky smell.

Xu Hui patted their heads amusedly, "What are you doing, it's as if you've never eaten meat."

Shaoping grinned and poured the mutton soup from the lunch box into the bowl, "Mom, you don't bring meat back every day. How come the canteen is so good today, and there's even mutton."

Although Xu Hui often brought lunch boxes back, most of them were left with useless big pots of rice, and meat was rarely seen.

Even if there is meat, it only uses lard or mutton fat, and at most sprinkles some oil residue.

It is impossible to be like the later generations, who have to have big fish and big meat to be considered meaty.

So Xu Hui came back with a bowl of broth today, and there were a few slices of mutton in it, which is indeed quite rare.

Shaoping and Lan Xiang haven't been to Wang Manyin's house for a long time, so it's true that they haven't eaten meat for a long time, and their mouths have long been hungry.

"Your brother-in-law went to the commune today, and the two directors asked your sister to cook a table of rice and two catties of mutton to make soup."

As she said that, she pointed to the lunch box, "It's not leftovers on the table, it's specially served when Miss Ni made it, and it's fresh."

Shaoping swallowed, and said with some hesitation: "Mom, you said that if we bring lunch boxes back every day, will the leaders of the commune not care if others gossip?"

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, she hadn't thought about these far-reaching issues, and replied hesitantly: "It should be fine, after all, your sister asked me to bring lunch boxes, and everyone else in the cafeteria has lunch boxes."

What Xu Hui said was true. Bringing a lunch box home is one of the invisible benefits of the cafeteria staff.

After all, it is impossible to sell out the big pot of rice every day, and it is impossible to waste the leftovers, so everyone took a piece and took it away, and no one said anything, anyway, all they took were leftovers.

Of course, it is impossible for Lanhua to take the rest of the big pot of rice. She almost always takes fresh food from the small stove and puts it in the lunch box.

Being the leader of the cafeteria still has some privileges.

And Xu Hui, as her mother, naturally brought back a good lunch box every day.

Shaoping nodded suddenly, no longer thinking about it, and happily asked how to eat this mutton soup.

Xu Hui thought for a while, "Let's make sliced ​​noodles tonight, and sprinkle hot mutton soup on top, everyone can drink some."

Shaoping and Lan Xiang's eyes lit up, and they nodded, "Okay, let's eat sliced ​​noodles. We haven't eaten sliced ​​noodles for a long time."

Xu Hui smiled and tied on her apron, dug out half a pot of flour, kneaded it with water, and prepared the dough.

Unknowingly, the sky became dark and the distant mountains were only blurred. Mosquitoes were buzzing and buzzing, disturbing people.

Until this time, the peasants in the mountains came out of the mountains one after another, carrying hoes on their shoulders and carrying a bundle of firewood on their shoulders.

This is the habit of farmers. After working in the mountains for so long, they bring a bundle of firewood home when they leave.

Shaoan and Sun Yuhou also carried a bundle of firewood on their shoulders, and with cigarettes in their mouths, they dragged their tired bodies towards the house.

The father and son were silent all the way, although the situation at home is getting more and more prosperous, but after crawling in the ground for so long, both of them are very tired, and they really don't want to waste their energy talking.

Back in the yard, Shao'an saw the fire coming from the kitchen, a smile appeared on his dark face, a warm current surged through his heart, and he felt a little strength pouring out of his tired body.

Being so tired every day is not just to let the family live a life without food and clothing. Now when I go home every day, I can have enough food to eat.

"Shao'an, his father, you are back, here is the water for washing your face, and there is still water to boil." Xu Hui hurriedly greeted the two pillars of the family back.

Shaoan first drank a large cup of cold white water, then went to wash his hands and face, and heard Xu Hui say next to him: "Shaoan, let's eat noodles with a knife tonight, the dough has been kneaded, you can go to cut it after a while Can it work in a pot?"

It is not easy to eat noodles with a knife. It is a laborious task to hold a piece of dough and keep peeling it in hot water.

Shaoan smiled, "Eating sliced ​​noodles? Well, it's true that I haven't eaten for a long time, so I don't need to rest, I'll go now."

As he said that, Shaoan strode towards the stove, put a wet cloth on his head, put the dough on it, picked up the knife and began to cut it into the hot water.

He is born smart and has strong hands-on ability. He is good at living at home and abroad, especially cutting noodles with a knife.

Shaoan finished peeling all the dough, put down the knife, took the towel handed over by Shaoping, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and suddenly saw the mutton soup on the stove from the corner of his eye.

"Hey, where did you get this mutton soup? There's still mutton in it!" His stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

Shaoping quickly said that it was the lunch box that his mother brought back from the commune cafeteria, and that his brother-in-law had lunch with the commune director at noon.

Shaoan casually nodded to show that he understood, and suddenly realized that he hadn't contacted his brother-in-law for a long time, and it was strange that he missed his brother-in-law.

The noodles were tumbling in the hot water, and Xu Hui picked them up and put them in a bowl after a while.

Everyone's servings are naturally different. Both Shao'an and Sun Yuhou's bowls are full, while the servings of the others are about the same.

When pouring the mutton soup, the priority must be to take care of the grandma paralyzed on the bed. The old man has suffered too much in his life, and he should eat something good when he is old.

Even the few slices of mutton in the mutton soup were half scooped up and put into grandma's bowl.

Xu Hui hesitated for the rest of the mutton, and was still going to put it in the bowls of Shaoan and the child's father. Seeing this, Sun Yuhou knocked on the bong, and said flatly: "I don't eat meat, let Lan Xiang eat it."

Shaoan also hurriedly said to feed the two babies, and they still had to grow up, so Xu Hui shared the remaining mutton equally between Shaoping and Lanxiang.

"Shaoping, bring the noodles to grandma."

Shaoping picked up the noodles and carefully sent them to the table of the Eight Immortals on Kangbed Mountain, and told grandma to eat.

Grandma stared at the sliced ​​noodles on the table with a pair of old red eyes, and there were two slices of mutton on the surface.

"Pingping? Have sliced ​​noodles tonight?" Grandma asked slowly word by word.

Shaoping leaned close to grandma's ear with a smile, and said loudly, "Grandma, I'll eat sliced ​​noodles with a layer of mutton soup tonight."

Shaoan and the others also came in squatting down, they wanted to eat with grandma, so that the old man would feel more lively.

Grandma smiled and nodded, and called Lan Xiang and Shaoping to come over, picked up the mutton in the bowl with chopsticks and put it into their bowls
