Chapter 220 Men and Women Are Not Tired of Working Together (Third Watch)

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes! You all have dinner at my house at noon, I have to show off!"

Luo Fengtang smiled.

The last time I came to Qing'er's house for dinner at night, the dishes on the table were prepared by Qing'er.

That taste is so good, I have been thinking about it a lot during this time!

The boy looked around the stove, and finally, he strode to the door of the stove.

The tall body squatted down, guarding the stove door.

"Hey, why don't you go to my father's room and sit and drink tea, why are you holding the door of the stove?"

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and saw him squatting by the stove.

The stove mouth was cramped, and bundles of pine hair bundled with thatch were piled up next to the wall.

Just leave a space one person wide in the middle.

He squatted one head to the other, so tightly blocked that she couldn't get in to stuff firewood into the stove under the cauldron.

Hearing her question, Luo Fengtang said without raising his head, "I'll stuff the firewood for you."

"What?"

Yang Ruoqing was surprised.

"This is not your home, you stuff firewood for me, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you?" She joked.

In this era, men are superior to women.

Men are the pillars of the family, and they do the hard work in the fields.

At home, cooking, washing, taking care of the children, feeding pigs and chickens, and cleaning the yard are all women's duties.

Men mostly don't.

Whoever did it will be seen and laughed at.

"What's so funny? In my own house, my uncle and I cook!"

At the stove mouth, Luo Fengtang said disapprovingly.

"That's different, you and your uncle are the only ones in your family, there are no women." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang still shook his head: "Others laugh whatever they want, I just do it myself!"

Yang Ruoqing thought about it, and felt that what he said was reasonable.

There are 1 views for [-] people. People have to live for themselves, regardless of what others think of them?

It is also in this era that men are superior to women and women are inferior. Women make offerings to men as if they were the same day, and wash their feet.

In modern society, many girls love to marry a man who can cook!

"Success, then help me stuff the firewood, we will not be tired if we work together as a man and a woman!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily, picked up a sieve made of bamboo strips, and scooped out an appropriate amount of rice.

She took the sieve to the edge of the pigsty outside and began to sieve rice.

This rice is pounded out with old-fashioned stone mortars, and the cleanliness of husking is not as good as those of modern milling machines.

There are also some rice husks mixed in.

Sifting rice by the pigsty, the rice husks and broken rice grains that are sifted out are just enough to feed the old hens.

On her side, she put the washed rice mixed with sweet potato cubes into the big pot inside, added water and covered the pot.

At the stove mouth, Luo Fengtang has already picked up a handful of pine hairs, ignited it with a flint and stuffed it into the stove mouth...

Yang Ruoqing turned around and took another handful of cabbage and two lettuces, squatting on one side and tearing off the leaves.

While looking at Luo Fengtang at the door of the stove.

The boy was squatting in front of the stove inside, the stove was very low, and he was tall and big.

When stuffing firewood into it, you have to bend down and look at it with some effort.

However, there was no disgust on his face at all.

The fire in the hearth danced, and the light of the fire reflected his face.

The cold and hard lines seem to have softened a bit, and he is concentrating on it, as if he is doing an extremely important thing.

Yang Ruoqing looked at him while tearing off the cabbage and lettuce leaves in her hand.

The corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.

"Qing'er, do you plan to stir-fry or make soup with this cabbage?"

Luo Fengtang's sudden questioning voice came over, and Yang Ruoqing suddenly recovered.

She looked down at the cabbage in her hand.

Full of black lines!

She originally planned to break it into pieces and fry it.

But this time, the cabbage was torn into strips by her.

"Hey, I'm making soup, I'd better tear it up finer!"

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly smoothed things over for herself.

Luo Fengtang did not doubt that it was there, nodded, turned his eyes away and continued to watch the fire of the cauldron inside.

Here, Yang Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

And despised myself all over in my heart.

Yang Ruoqing, Yang Ruoqing, you are really worthless!

Patronizing to see people stuffing firewood, almost ruined the dishes!

She had to peel the lettuce next, and she didn't dare to be distracted.

Just as he picked up the kitchen knife and was about to sharpen it, Luo Fengtang walked over.

"Let me do this."

He said, couldn't help breaking up, took the kitchen knife and lettuce from her hands, and started peeling them.

Yang Ruoqing stepped aside, put her hands on her knees and watched him cut.

She likes cooking, but she doesn't like peeling.

Especially for vegetables like lettuce with bumpy surfaces, it takes a lot of effort to peel them.

Not to mention all the skin and flesh are cut off, and the fingers are the easiest to cut.

But now, watching Tang Yazi peel the lettuce.

Only then did Yang Ruoqing realize that the problem was not with the lettuce, but with herself.

There are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains.

There were a few pleasant sounds in my ears.

whoosh...

Whizzing……

Whoosh...

In just a few breaths, the two thick lettuces took off their coats under his knife.

Revealing the verdant, juicy and delicate 'body' inside.

"Here, after cutting it, wash it and slice it."

He handed the chopped lettuce to Yang Ruoqing, turned around and hurried back to his position, and picked up the fire stick in his hand.

The handful of pine hair in the stove has not been burned yet!

Here, Yang Ruoqing looked at the lettuce in her hand and nodded repeatedly.

"Tang Yazi, your saber technique is really unreliable, it's so crisp and neat, so beautiful!"

Luo Fengtang smiled embarrassedly, but didn't chew.

"Sure, I'll go outside to wash at the well and then I'll be back."

She picked up the cabbage and lettuce and got up and left the kitchen.

Put the washed cabbage and lettuce in the dustpan to dry first.

Yang Ruoqing turned around and went back to her own room, and after a short while, brought back a dried rabbit.

"Tang Yazi, do you like spicy food?"

She washed the dried rabbit with the rice washing water from before, while asking Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "I like it."

She smiled, pointed at the rabbit soaked in the rice washing water and said, "At noon, I'll make a 'diving rabbit' for you to try!"

Diving rabbit?

Such a strange name.

Luo Fengtang was surprised, then stood up and looked at the rabbit she was cleaning.

"This rabbit is..." he asked.

"That day we went into the mountain together, the one I picked up!" she said.

When I saw this rabbit, I thought of the little white puppy in the cedar forest.

I don't know how it's recovering from the injury?

Such a young person, who knows how to repay kindness, is really spiritual!

The rabbit was cleaned soon, and Yang Ruoqing planned to chop it into pieces.

Luo Fengtang wanted to come over to pick up her kitchen knife again.

Glancing at the trace of worry that flashed in his eyes, she felt warm in her heart.

"I'm such an old man, and it's not the first day I chop vegetables, so I won't chop them with my hands."

she said with a smile.

Seeing that he was still worried, she smiled helplessly.

"If you really want to help me, just help me pour this basin of dirty water into the ditch outside the backyard, and bring back a basin of clean well water by the way."

"Ok!"

Luo Fengtang picked up the basin of dirty rice water that had washed the rabbits, turned around and left the kitchen.

Here, Yang Ruoqing picked up the kitchen knife and started chopping up rabbits.
