I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 329 A little show of skill

On the other side, Huang Chunxiang brought Wei Lan and Aunt Liu into the kitchen. After coming out, she pulled Gu Sande and whispered, "Didn't you just entertain Deputy Yan and the others? Why did you bring these old people back?"

 Yanyi and others have special status, and because of the Sunflower Seed Project, they have contributed a lot.

This time, he also came to help with bricks and tiles, saving the brigade a lot of effort.

Gu Sande has long been interested in entertaining Yanyi and others, but he has never found the opportunity.

Today, Gu Sande estimated that Yanyi would come again, so he told Huang Chunxiang early in the morning to prepare more rice, white flour and other fine grains to prepare for noon.

Huang Chunxiang naturally prepared the things, but she only prepared enough for a few people. Food rations are tight these days, and you can't just borrow fine grains by going out for a walk.

 At the beginning, it was agreed that there would be no more than four or five people, but now more than ten people came. Huang Chunxiang was caught off guard, and it was inevitable that she would blame Gu Sande.

"How can we rectify it if we don't bring it back?" Gu Sande recounted what happened at the base, and finally said: "It just so happened that we took this opportunity to settle the matter. In the future, others will have to gossip. Let’s weigh it first.”

 Yanyi once praised Wei Lan for his good craftsmanship. Gu Sande always remembered those words in his heart. Therefore, he did not doubt Wei Lan's craftsmanship.

Although this matter was originally instructed by Yanyi, Gu Sande thought carefully about how to maximize the potential and highlights of each comrade.

 Whichever convenience you are good at, you will use your energy in that convenience.

 Gu Sande sighed in his heart that he had decided to be wise and martial, and at the same time he cursed Aunt Liu in his heart.

There are always so many uncivilized people. If you say you are good at farming, then why not farm honestly? I have to sort out this one and that one...

Gu Sande reconsidered in his mind and turned to look at Huang Chunxiang, "I remember there is still some flour at home? Bring out whatever vegetables are available at home and let them use them."

 The province will have no complaints in the future.

"Pick out another bowl and keep it ready. Wait until everyone has left and make some food for the people in the Yan deputy bureau." Gu Sande explained again and went to the front yard with his hands behind his hands.

"Bah, what the hell? It's almost the end of the year, and now everything is gone. When the soldiers and patriots come back, what's the point of eating?" Huang Chunxiang spat, but she went back to the kitchen to get a bowl and scoop out the food. The flour is gone.

The captain's house is about the same size as the Gu family's kitchen, but it is brighter because there are no bamboo trees behind it to block it.

 Wei Lan arranged the kitchen table for a while, wiped the cutting board, and just turned around to check out what dishes were available and what ingredients were available. There was a sudden "thump" behind him, which startled Wei Lan.

Wei Lan turned around and saw that the cutting board she had just wiped had been rotated from one end of the table to the other, and was being held by Aunt Liu, who was chopping the cabbage.

Wei Lan glanced at the mud spots on the cabbage, and immediately hissed and felt a toothache, "You don't even wash this vegetable, just cut it? Just fry it?"

Aunt Liu glanced at Wei Lan as if she was crazy, and said with a proud expression: "Pick the outer leaves, they are clean inside!"

As she said this, she cut up a whole cabbage and put it into a ladle. After a while, the rice was cooked, and then she put it in the pot and stir-fried it.

Aunt Liu’s words made Wei Lan speechless. It was just to look clean...

Although there are almost no pesticides used on vegetables in this era, manure has been applied since childhood. Even if there is rain or dew, it is good to wash it with water.

Wei Lan was about to say something when two little guys suddenly walked in from the door.

 “Why are you here?”

You Lan and Ji Fengyao looked at each other and said, "Come and help Sister Lan!" Wei Lan laughed and was about to say no, when out of the corner of her eye she saw the flour Huang Chunxiang had prepared on the table early in the morning.

An idea flashed through Wei Lan's mind. Seeing Aunt Liu already busy washing and cooking rice, she bowed and waved to You Lan.

You Lan immediately listened and waited for Wei Lan to whisper a few words. You Lan nodded, took Ji Fengyao's hand, and the two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

 Having an idea, Wei Lan just do it.

The clothes were too thick and hindered movement. There happened to be a fire on the kitchen stove and the temperature was gradually getting higher.

Wei Lan took off his sheepskin coat and put it on a chair aside. Then he rolled up his sleeves and found a small bowl and a sea bowl.

Wei Lan has thought about it. There are many people outside. If we just try the taste, one or two bites per person would be enough.

 Grains are expensive, and fine grains are even more expensive.

Besides, most of these things are brought out by the captain to entertain the people from the county public security bureau, and they may not be willing to eat them at home.

Pour some salt into a small bowl and dissolve it with water. Wei Lan turns around and scoops out about a bowl's worth of flour on the table and pours it into a large bowl.

Wei Lan plans to make noodles. In order to maintain the chewy texture of the noodles as much as possible, he cannot add too much water at one time. He can only add small amounts according to feeling.

 She found chopsticks, poured the melted salt water into the sea bowl, and quickly stirred the flour into dough.

Aunt Liu was waiting for the water in the pot to boil and scoop out the rice. Seeing that Wei Lan was not preparing anything, she kept busy making noodles.

Aunt Liu came over and saw that the skin of Wei Lan's fingers were white and delicate, and they were close to the dough. At first glance, she couldn't tell you from me.

Aunt Liu twitched the corner of her mouth and made a grimace. Then she said "tsk tsk" twice and asked, "What's going on? Are you planning to make wontons with vegetarian fillings or noodles in clear soup?"

Although it is a fine grain, whether it is vegetarian dumplings or clear soup noodles, the soup will be watery, so how can it be used for cooking?

 Put more oil when cooking. It won't be visible on the surface, but you can eat it. Besides, Wei Lanhe's small amount of noodles can only hold two bowls.

Wei Lan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

When Aunt Liu saw that Wei Lan was silent, she laughed strangely and sat back in the stove, crossing her legs and waiting to see Wei Lan's joke.

Wei Lan kneaded the dough into a smooth dough. She wanted to cover it with a wet towel for a while while Youlan and the others went back to get things, but in the end, she only found a rag in the kitchen.

Wei Lan simply gave up the idea of ​​using a wet towel and washed a large bowl on top of it.

You Lan and Ji Fengyao brought the pickle jars from home. Ten minutes later, Wei Lan checked the dough and decided to let it rest for a while.

　　Taking the clay pot from You Lan, Wei Lan used chopsticks to pick out a large piece of pickled vegetables that had turned dark brown.

This pickled vegetable is radish tassels that Grandma Gu pickled a few days ago. Because the pickling time is relatively short, it is not very tasty, but if you smell it carefully, you can vaguely smell a faint sour taste.

Wei Lan cut the pickled vegetables into small pieces and put them in bowls for later use. He washed and dried the cutting board again.

 She took the dough out of the big bowl, sprinkled a layer of dry flour on the cutting board, kneaded the dough repeatedly, rolled it into dough, kneaded it again, and rolled it into dough again.
