Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 58: The steamed bread at the educated youth's place was not cooked through

The spicy diced rabbit looked fresh and fragrant, and the mushroom soup was rich and sticky. Just a sniff of it filled the air with the spicy and delicious aroma. Jiang Xingwei couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Xiao Wu, you can't finish this much, can I have a taste?"

Jiang Xingye has always been generous with food to his cousins. His father died when he was young, and his mother remarried, so he grew up in his uncle's house. His uncle and aunt treated him as their own son, and his cousins ​​took good care of him.

But at this moment, he used his arms to protect the dish tightly and said coldly, "No!"

He only handed Jiang Xingwei a flatbread and said, "This is for you!"

Jiang Xingwei was very angry. He took the pancake, took a big bite, and was immediately speechless. "How did you make this pancake? It's so delicious!"

It is soft, sweet and full of wheat flavor. Although corn flour is added, it is not irritating to the throat at all. It is permeated with the smell of oil. One side is crispy and the other side is soft. It is simply delicious.

In the end, Jiang Xingwei was driven by his greed and snatched a piece of spicy rabbit cubes and a mouthful of mushroom soup from Jiang Xingye's mouth, which satisfied his stomach, but made him even hungrier.

"Xiaowu, tell me, who sent this to you?" Jiang Xingwei forgot that he was making dumplings at home and pestered his younger brother to ask.

Jiang Xingye washed the lunch box and said coldly, "Don't think about it, there's nothing for you to eat!"

"Okay, okay, then why don't you go back with me to eat dumplings?" Seeing how closely his cousin was protecting him, Jiang Xingwei had to give up the idea. Besides, who would eat other people's food for no reason these days?

"No!" Jiang Xingye frowned.

On the way back, Jiang Xingwei smacked his lips, and the lingering taste between his lips and teeth kept lingering on him.

At this time, at the educated youth point, Chen Dewen and the other two were holding a fist-sized steamed bun in their hands, and their lunch boxes contained vegetable soup. To call it soup would be an overstatement for this mushy thing.

The soup was overcooked and the steamed cornbread was not cooked through.

Generally, when steaming wowotou, a hole is pinched at the bottom to ensure even heating, hence the name wowotou.

The method of making steamed buns is different.

But obviously, whoever cooked today was inexperienced.

It was also the first time for Kong Lijuan to cook for so many people. She had done housework when she was at home, but her family was poor. Her mother always locked the cupboards tightly for fear that she would steal food and never let her cook.

She glanced at Zheng Siqi and saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Duan Qingmei placed her lunch box on the table with a clanging sound. "The sweet potatoes from lunch weren't steamed properly, and this one is the same! A good dish was cooked into something that even pigs wouldn't eat, and there's even steamed cornbread. Making this is such a waste of food."

Zheng Siqi looked at the steamed buns, turned them over and around, then made one himself and stood up first. "Then let's steam it for a while longer and eat it when it's cooked!"

He had no appetite at all, even though he was exhausted today.

He and Dai Yifeng have decent physical strength. As children who grew up in the military compound, they have participated in training since childhood and their physical fitness is still very good.

But doing farm work and training are two completely different things.

Everyone took out the steamed buns and put them in the pot, waiting for Kong Lijuan to steam them again.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Qu Qiongfang's eyes flashed with sarcasm, but a smile appeared on her face. She comforted her, "It's okay. This was also the case when I first cooked at the educated youth camp. Don't be sad. Hurry and steam the steamed buns. Everyone is waiting to eat them."

Seeing Zheng Siqi leave, Kong Lijuan felt very sad. She wanted to rush over and say that she could actually do a lot of things, such as washing clothes and cleaning the house, and she just failed because she had never cooked before. But at this moment, the most important thing was to steam the steamed buns.

Dai Yifeng and Zheng Siqi stood side by side at the door and asked with a smile, "What do you think they are eating right now?"

Zheng Siqi smiled and shook his head. "I don't know. But it must be delicious."

Dai Yifeng drooled, "When are we going to take a break? Let's go to the mountains to hunt some game and ask Xu Zhiqing to help us cook another delicious meal!"

"Okay!" Only at this moment did Zheng Siqi show a little vitality, making people realize that he was still a young man in his twenties.

After Chen Dewen came out, the three of them walked out tacitly.

Obviously, Kong Lijuan also heard what the two said just now. She bit her lips, and a strong hatred surged in her heart. Xu Qinghuan, Xu Qinghuan again. They were going to Xu Qinghuan's house for lunch, and they even hunted wild game for Xu Qinghuan to cook!
The team leader had just finished eating dumplings when Chen Dewen and the other two came over. They came to help with the house construction.

Just as Xu Qinghuan said, the brigade would not object to them building a house. After doing some calculations, they found that building a single-room house with a kitchen would cost about forty or fifty yuan, which was far below the three people's expectations.

The three of them agreed without much hesitation.

The team leader called Jiang Xingwei, "Go talk to Xiaowu and ask him to arrange for the construction of houses for the educated youth."

Jiang Xingwei agreed and was about to go to Jiang Xingye's house again when the captain's wife brought out a bowl of dumplings. "Give this to Xiaowu. If he doesn't eat it today, let him soak it in the well. Heat it up tomorrow and eat it in the morning."

He Yuzhen was so angry when she saw this. She hadn't even eaten enough just now, so she asked why there were so many fewer dumplings. It turned out that her mother-in-law had hidden them.

That scoundrel didn't even come to eat, but her mother-in-law still wanted her brother-in-law to bring it over. Why? He didn't bring any food to the house.

Back in the house, He Yuzhen couldn't help but mutter to her husband, "I see, in this family, your mother loves your eldest brother the most, not your fourth brother, nor her eldest grandson, your son, but Xiaowu. I really don't know what mother is thinking. She doesn't love her own children and grandchildren, but loves an outsider!"

Jiang Xingyong was weaving a backpack in the dim light coming in through the window. Hearing this, he looked up at his wife and asked, "Who is the outsider? Who do you say is the outsider?"

His voice seemed to be tinged with ice. He Yuzhen shuddered at his suddenly fierce gaze. Glancing out of the corner of her eye at her sons, she suddenly regained her confidence. "I... I said that idiot was an outsider. What's wrong? Was I wrong?"

Jiang Xingyong put down his work, stood up and approached her, his thick eyebrows raised, and said fiercely, "Who did you say was a second-rate person? Say it again!"

He Yuzhen was really scared now and moved back on the kang.

Her eldest son complained, "Dad, Mom said my uncle is a second-rate person, but my uncle is not a second-rate person, my uncle is!"

He Yuzhen glared at her eldest son and argued, "Nonsense! How dare you call your uncle a second-rate person?"

Jiang Xingyong was not distracted by their topic, but said, "Just because I don't hit women doesn't mean I don't hit my wife. Don't let me hear such words again!"

He Yuzhen gasped, feeling aggrieved, and cried, "I asked you to give some rations to my brother, but you wouldn't let me. Jiang Xingye is not your biological brother, yet you are protecting him like this? Why?"

Jiang Xingyong snorted, "Just because his last name is Jiang!"

Jiang Xiangnan, nicknamed Dadan, added, "My uncle is the outsider. He often steals my food, but my uncle still buys me candy!"
