The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 156 Homemade Pancake

When Jiang Cheng returned home, he saw a lot of people arguing outside his door.

But Zhou Lingying was not among them. She was cooking. Jiang Cheng walked up to Zhou Lingying and said, "What are they arguing about? Why are they arguing in front of our house?"

"I need sheep bones. The middle bone of a sheep doesn't weigh much. When I was preparing mutton just now, my neighbor asked me to buy some bones, so I sold them to him. I didn't think too much about it. At first, I bought more than a pound of sheep bones from Aunt Liu in the backyard. Now many people know that we have sheep bones for sale, so they all come over." Zhou Lingying said.

"Come over here, we'll just eat the ribs, and we'll sell the bones from other parts." Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng also saw that the sheep that had just been brought back had been roughly cut up and placed on the table in the side room, with a lot of bones and meat still left.

"I didn't say I didn't want to sell it. There were only a few kilograms, so I planned to sell it to whoever came first. We are all from the same yard, so it doesn't matter who I sell it to. But the people who came later refused to sell it. If I sold it to the people who arrived first, the others wouldn't be able to buy it. But they didn't argue with me. They didn't let the people who came first buy so much." Zhou Lingying said with a smile. Most of the people who came here were middle-aged women, and they were not familiar with her.

Zhou Lingying left a leg of lamb for Zhu Lan's family, and the front leg for Xiao Li's family and Wang Yuzhen's family. As for Chen Li's family, Zhou Lingying did not leave any for them. She was just being petty and did not want Li Meihong to get her own things for free.

Zhou Lingying is going to make lard today and give it to Chen Li's children. They can eat some lard residue, but she just doesn't want Li Meihong and the others to take advantage of it.

As for leaving Wang Yuzhen a chance, Wang Yuzhen came to confess a few days ago. She said that she only told Zhang Qing in the backyard that it was Zhou Lingying who hired someone to throw feces, but now Zhang Qing also refused to admit that she told it.

In her heart, Zhou Lingying had always suspected that it was Wang Yuzhen who told the truth. Now that Wang Yuzhen had taken the initiative to confess, and that so much time had passed, Zhou Lingying no longer bore a grudge. However, it was no longer possible for her to have a heart-to-heart talk with her as openly as before.

The aunties in the yard may have seen Jiang Cheng coming, and they didn't dare to continue arguing in front of his door. In the end, they compromised and several aunties asked Zhou Lingying to buy the remaining sheep bones.

"Yingying, why don't they come to you to make trouble and let you decide how to sell it."

"If you argue with me, I won't sell anyone. Tomorrow, my mother and I will sit at the door and eat bones."

After the bones were sold, Zhou Lingying saw Jiang Cheng asking and smiled while touching her belly.

Jiang Cheng could sense that Zhou Lingying was obsessed with having a son, and didn't joke about whether they were mother and son or mother and daughter. In the room, Jiang Cheng used a rolling pin to roll the flour Zhou Lingying had prepared into round pancakes the size of a palm, and then asked Zhou Lingying to roll the remaining flour into round pancakes of the same size when she was free.

After finishing, Jiang Cheng went to the stove to treat the iron plate with high temperature before returning to his room to rest and listen to the radio.

Today is a festival, and most people will go buy some meat to improve their meals. Every household will have delicious food today, but none of them will be as delicious as Zhou Lingying's braised pork.

After lunch, Jiang Cheng felt a little tired. He got up early in the morning and planned to take a nap. Zhou Lingying also wanted to sleep because of her pregnancy, so the two of them slept until after two o'clock.

After waking up, Jiang Cheng asked Zhou Lingying to light the coal stove. Because it was not anthracite, it would take a while for the smoke to stop. After the smoke stopped, Jiang Cheng put the iron plate pot on it. After the pot was hot, he got a brush as a brush. He brushed some oil on the pot and put the rolled dough on it to heat it. The oil was to prevent the dough from sticking to it, not for frying.

When the iron plate is partially cooked, turn it over and continue. Since the pancake is not thick, just flip it back and forth a few times. The flour is not as fine as that of later generations, but it is still very fragrant just by boiling it.

Zhou Lingying watched Jiang Cheng making hot pancakes and wanted to try one, but Jiang Cheng didn't let her. Instead, he asked her to put the mutton in the pot and add some water and ginger to remove the fishy smell.

Jiang Cheng immediately boiled several kilograms of pancakes, enough for him to eat on the road when he went on a long trip. After boiling the pancakes, Jiang Cheng placed them on the table in the side room and asked Zhou Lingying to stew the mutton directly. He had to go out to the market to buy some onions, potatoes and the like.

As soon as Jiang Cheng left, Zhou Lingying went to the side room and tasted a cake. It was fragrant but tasteless.

After buying onions and potatoes from the market, Jiang Cheng also brought some tomatoes and cucumbers. If it were in the north, it wouldn't be cucumbers, it would probably be green onions.

Chop the green onions into chopped green onions, then Jiang Cheng put a lot of eggs into an enamel basin.

When eating zhuazhaobing, you can't just put mutton in it, otherwise it will become a roujiamo. Jiang Cheng plans to add some crushed eggs.

After preparing the eggs, Jiang Cheng went to prepare the shredded potatoes and cucumbers.

As for tomatoes, you can just mash them. If you don’t have tomato sauce, just use sweet and sour tomatoes instead.

By the time Jiang Cheng had prepared everything, Zhou Lingying's mutton was almost done stewing.

Then Jiang Cheng personally fried a plate of egg flowers, also known as minced eggs, sprinkled some chopped green onions on top, and fried the shredded potatoes until cooked, and it was basically done.

Jiang Cheng took a pancake and put mutton, chopped eggs, shredded potatoes, shredded cucumbers on it, and then put some mashed tomato juice on it. The pancake was rolled up and looked very full, and it looked like you wanted to take a big bite.

However, Jiang Cheng first gave the rolled pancake to Zhou Lingying, and then rolled another one for himself.

"Well, Jiang Cheng, this taste~~is so good~~. What is it called after eating it." Zhou Lingying said while eating. The taste was so delicious that she couldn't stop after taking a bite.

Jiang Cheng also took a bite and thought it was good, but not as exaggerated as Zhou Lingying's. However, for people in this era who can't even eat rice every day, this way of eating meat and eggs is really too luxurious.

"This is called ~~, I created it myself, it has no name. If you like it, eat another one, and heat it up on the iron plate tomorrow morning and you can have it as breakfast. Except for tomorrow morning's, I will bring the rest to the unit for my colleagues to eat. Now that I have arrived at the new unit, I have to get along well with my colleagues so that they will think of us when they have benefits in the future." Jiang Cheng said.

I had to say that I was going to eat all of them on the road. But if I didn't eat them in a day or two, they would definitely go bad, so I had to lie.

In fact, Jiang Cheng, who drove Didi in the 21st century, likes to deceive people. Or in other words, he wears a mask when he goes out. He says one thing to one person and another to another. Whatever he says is true or false.

Sometimes when I am lucky and have a lot of orders, I like to pretend to be unlucky and tell my peers that I have no orders and my income is not good today. Then I curiously ask them how much they have run today. When I see that they have not run as much as I do, I pretend to envy them and say that they have run more than me.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what his mentality was, but he would feel secretly happy if he pretended to be like that.

But now that he has been reborn in this era, Jiang Cheng doesn't want to lie to anyone, especially those around him. But in order to hide the secret, he has to lie.

Maybe he still didn't live a thorough life. Jiang Cheng felt that when he saw through everything one day, he would definitely tell Zhou Lingying his secret. After all, this was a woman who wanted to give birth to children for him. If he wanted to tell his secret, she would definitely be the first person to tell her.

The afternoon passed quickly, preparing food, feeding chickens, and chatting. After dinner, many people came to the front yard to listen to the radio. Today was a full moon day, and Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying were both admiring the moon. Zhou Lingying missed her family, and so did Jiang Cheng. He also missed his parents who were still worried about him being unmarried in the 21st century.

The radio played until nine o'clock today before it was taken back to the room, and then the people listening to the cash register in the front yard dispersed.

Jiang Cheng felt a little suffocated when he went to bed tonight, but he had consulted the hospital and was told that he could not have sex in the first few months.

"Jiang Cheng, what's wrong with you? Wasn't it fine like this before?" Zhou Lingying asked without stopping her hands.

Jiang Cheng hugged Zhou Lingying. He felt that he was suddenly excited tonight and wanted something exciting. It was time to unlock something properly. Then he put his lips close to Zhou Lingying's ear and whispered a few words.

The lights were not turned off, and Zhou Lingying's blushing could be seen under the yellow light.

"Jiang Cheng, how can that be possible?" Zhou Lingying responded with a slightly abnormal heart rhythm.

"Do you think I'm dirty?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Jiang Cheng, how did you think of~~this~ way?" Zhou Lingying stopped what she was doing and asked curiously. Jiang Cheng gave her the feeling that a man was born to understand matters between men and women, and he also had all kinds of strange ideas.

"Yingying, please give it a try." Jiang Cheng urged. Since their marriage, Zhou Lingying has never disobeyed him. He hopes it will always be like this, although this idea may be a bit morbid.

"You are such a shameless person." Zhou Lingying said shyly, but she had an instinctive desire not to refuse the request made by her man.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Lingying buried her head in the quilt which was only covered with a duvet cover.

The next morning, when Zhou Lingying was about to get up to heat up the food and pancakes, Jiang Cheng woke up when he heard the noise.

"Shame on you! Don't think of me like that again next time." Zhou Lingying said while still wearing her clothes.

Jiang Cheng just laughed. Now that this matter has begun, there will inevitably be more to come.

Today we have to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to officially run transportation. Jiang Cheng is also looking forward to it, so he also got up with Zhou Lingying.
