Shen Qingqian didn't know what Shen Shan was thinking, so she rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen, counted the ingredients and started cooking.
She hadn't cooked for a while, and Shen Qingning was doing all the cooking.
It was getting late at this time. Shen Qingqian didn't make any complicated meals. He took off a piece of dried meat and cut it into dices. He also peeled and diced the radish that he had just recovered from the field a few days ago and waited for the food in the pot. Roll the rice porridge before throwing it in.
"Third brother, let's keep it on low until Auntie and the others come back." As Shen Qingqian spoke, she picked up a handful of green onions next to the water tank and sorted them.
This porridge needs to be simmered longer to taste better.
Shen Shan took out the firewood from the stove, clapped his hands and stood up to help.
Shen Qingqian simply gave all the green onions to Shen Shan, while she took out the white flour from the cupboard and planned to make some pancakes.
"You don't have to do so much at night, right?" Shen Shan asked casually.
Shen Qingqian shook her head, "Everyone has been working very hard recently, and aunt and others are reluctant to eat. I am doing it first, just to improve the food for the family, and I can only rest well after eating at night."
There were just as many white noodles in the kitchen as she had seen last time, and they were not moved at all. She knew what Wu meant without even thinking.
Shen Qingning was a foodie and wished she could cook more meals, but Mrs. Wu would definitely stop her from touching the fine grains at home.
Shen Qingqian knew Wu's concerns, but she now had a lot of things piled up in the warehouse, so she really didn't lack that much food.
Wu and the others came back very late today, and they smelled the aroma of rice as soon as they entered the courtyard.
Shen Qingning's nose twitched and she immediately ran to the kitchen with bright eyes, "Sixth sister must be back!"
In the kitchen, Shen Qingqian just asked Shen Shan to put out the fire in the stove.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Shen Qingning. He couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, "Fifth sister, you, why have you become a tabby cat?"
A lamp was lit in the kitchen, illuminating the mud on Shen Qingning's face clearly. There were mud marks on both sides of her mouth, and she didn't know how they got there.
"Ah?" Shen Qingning was stunned for a moment, then touched her face, which turned out to be even more bruised, "Is there something on my face?"
Even Shen Shan couldn't hold it back now, he turned his head and it was very hard to suppress his laughter. Two laughters escaped from his throat.
Shen Qingqian smiled and took her handkerchief to help her wipe it, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll wipe it for you."
Shen Qingning was a big-hearted person. She sniffed and looked into the pot on tiptoes, "Sixth sister, what did you cook? It smells so good!"
"I cooked meat porridge and made white flour pancakes. They are all ordinary things. How can they be as fragrant as you said?" Shen Qingqian disagreed.
But she forgot that the recent food in the Shen family was not very good. She didn't even add all-purpose seasoning, but it had meat and noodles, which still made Shen Qingning, a foodie, very excited.
"Okay, Sister Ning will help serve the rice first. If you have anything to do, we can talk after dinner." Mrs. Wu poked her head at the door of the kitchen and said.
With a little smile on her face, she shook her head and went back to the house.
The Shen family started eating quickly. Although it was just simple meat porridge and pancakes, the family was very satisfied.
"Sister Qian, the vegetables in the field are growing well. People from the yard across the street came to ask us how we grew them. Brother Jiang didn't hide anything and told them. Is that okay?"
After dinner, Wu called Shen Qingqian to talk.
"Of course there is no problem. Northern Hubei is short of food. If everyone can grow food well, it won't be so difficult for us."
Shen Qingqian was worried that he would not have the opportunity to promote planting technology, but it seemed that he could get people in the opposite yard to participate.
