Li Qiumei followed Cheng Zhiqian in with a cane.

There was another boy in the yard who looked exactly like Xiaoshuang.

He was wiping the tables and benches in the yard.

Although the two twins were thin and their clothes were patched, they were washed cleanly.

The boy called Cheng Zhiqian "Uncle" somewhat stiffly and carried a bench over from the corner.

"Auntie, please sit down." Li Qiumei sat down while holding the table.

She looked around and saw that the Dashuang family had only one main house, which was divided into upstairs and downstairs.

The windows upstairs were pitch black and even more shabby than those in He Yuanzhou's house.

Next to the main house are two bungalows, one of which is used as a kitchen and the other has a closed door.

The yard was not big, with only two tables, but the ground was swept cleanly.

Cheng Zhiqian asked Dashuang: "Are you two the only ones at home? Where's your grandma?"

The big hands kept wiping another table:

"My grandma went to town to get some wine..."

Xiao Shuang ran over and interrupted his brother: "Uncle Cheng, I caught several fish this morning. We can fry them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran into the kitchen and came out with a porcelain basin.

There were indeed two palm-sized crucian carps and a large bowl of small fish as long as your index finger.

As they were talking, three young men came in from outside: "Boss, three bowls of noodles, please."

"Okay, uncle, you guys sit down first." Dashuang welcomed them to the table and ran into the kitchen.

Xiao Shuang also quickly put down the basin: "Uncle Cheng, I'll go help my brother."

Li Qiumei was very skeptical whether these two young children could cook noodles.

"Cheng Zhiqian, how old are these two brothers?"

"Ten years old. You sit here, I'll go in and take a look." Seeing Cheng Zhiqian go into the kitchen, Li Qiumei felt relieved.

A man wearing a sailor shirt stood up and walked to Xiaoshuang's porcelain basin.

“Oh, there are fish too.

Old Xie, shall we have some fried fish to go with the wine?"

The other two also walked over to take a look: "You know what, this fish looks pretty fresh."

The fat man named Lao Xie looked at Li Qiumei and said, "Boss, fry us a plate of fish."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Li Qiumei got up and walked into the kitchen with a cane.

“Da Shuang, the guests outside ordered a plate of fried fish, and they said they wanted to go with their wine.

Is there not a drop of wine in the house?"

Da Shuang was a little worried when he heard this: "I still have half a bottle of wine, but I don't know how to fry fish."

Li Qiumei comforted him: "Don't worry, you still have your uncle Cheng.

Just let him help you blow it up."

Xiao Shuang's eyes sparkled: "Auntie, is there really anyone who wants to buy my fish?"

Li Qiumei nodded: "Of course, bring it in and fry it."

The kitchen was a little small, and Li Qiumei came out when she saw that they were all busy boiling water.

Standing in the yard, she just looked up and saw a fat woman in front of the window on the second floor next door, craning her neck to look at Dashuang's yard.

Seeing Li Qiumei looking at her, the fat woman shrank her head back.

Two more young men in bell-bottom pants and flowered shirts passed by the gate.

"Old Xie, you guys are coming down too?" They said as they walked in.

"This place only has noodles, how about we go to the place in front to eat stir-fried dishes and drink some wine?"

"No, we ordered a plate of fried fish to go with the wine. Would you like to eat here too?"

The tall man looked at the porcelain basin that Xiao Shuang was holding and said, "Okay, fry the small ones and make soup for me with the two big ones."

Xiaoshuang was very excited and nodded.

Li Qiumei was about to get up and go into the kitchen to help when she saw the fat woman rushing in.

She smiled and said to the guests at that table: "My mother-in-law went to the town to buy wine today.

There’s no one at home to greet you, so come to my house for dinner.

The noodles in our Han family all taste the same.

Several young people looked at each other.

Li Qiumei knocked on the table: "Who said no one greeted them?

I'm such a big person sitting here, can't you see it?

I'm still going to your house to eat. Do you have fish?"

The tall man whistled: "Yes, auntie, do you have fish to eat?"

The fat woman turned her head and looked at Li Qiumei: "Aren't you here to eat noodles?"

"Why do you care what I do? No one like you would come to steal customers. Get out now!" Li Qiumei scolded her impatiently.

The fat woman crossed her arms and said, “This is my mother-in-law’s house, and you, an outsider, actually chased me out.

Brothers, please help me judge, how can you bully others like this? "

Seeing that no one answered, she pointed to the kitchen and said, "My mother-in-law is not at home. How can the two children of the two brothers cook delicious noodles?

Don’t let the noodles taste bad, or you’ll still have to pay for it.”

Li Qiumei gave her a bleak look and said to the guests, “Brothers, don’t worry.

Although Dashuang's grandmother is not here today, a chef from the kitchen is cooking noodles for you."

The man in the sailor shirt asked Li Qiumei: "Is the man in the military uniform just now really the chef of the kitchen team?

I don't think so.

The chefs in our cafeteria are all fat and big-eared."

Li Qiumei smiled and said, "The army has to train all the time, and the kitchen team has to participate, so there are fat people."

Cheng Zhiqian in the kitchen gnashed his teeth and said, "Li Qiumei really knows how to put accusations on him.

When the fat woman heard that there was someone else in the kitchen, she hurried in to take a look.

When she saw it was Cheng Zhiqian, she left dejectedly.

Xiaoshuang quickly ran over and closed the door.

Li Qiumei walked into the kitchen: "Let me cook fish soup."

Da Shuang's tense face relaxed when he heard that.

"Auntie, please put your foot on the stool." Xiao Shuang took a small stool thoughtfully.

Li Qiumei exclaimed: "This child has a good eye!"

She first used a little lard to fry the processed fish, poured in boiling water, added ginger slices, and then added tofu after boiling. She sprinkled some chopped green onions when it was ready.

The crucian carp soup cooked in this way is white and not fishy, ​​and tastes delicious.

When it was almost done, Dashuang's grandmother came back carrying a basket on her back.

The two children ran out to help her put the backpack down.

Grandma Han has a strong physique and speaks in a loud voice.

"We, Dashuang and Xiaoshuang, are now capable. You two can both receive guests when grandma is not at home."

"Grandma, Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng are doing it." Dashuang told her.

Grandma Han went into the kitchen and took Cheng Zhiqian and Li Qiumei to thank them non-stop.

Xiao Shuang yelled, "Grandma, you're finally back.

I was just about to go to Grandma Qi's house to borrow a bottle of white wine.

This table of guests wants five glasses of white wine. I just poured out the remaining wine at home. There are only three glasses left. Luckily you came back in time. "

After Xiao Shuang finished speaking, he patted his chest, looking as if he was finally relieved, which made everyone in the kitchen laugh.

Everyone worked together to bring the noodles and fish to the table.
