I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 67: Eat Well and Work Hard
The men came in groups, and when they saw the hot meals prepared for them, they couldn't hide their surprise. They sat carefully, and Xu Congyi quietly asked his grandmother, "Isn't it normal for workers to provide meals? Why are you so surprised?" In Xu Congyi's opinion, the steamed buns were mixed with black flour and corn flour. At first glance, they looked similar to the steamed buns eaten by the villagers at home, except that they had more soup and sauce, and were not a very good meal.
"We rarely provide breakfast when hiring workers here. Basically, we only provide lunch. The few who provide breakfast have it prepared the day before and eat it with hot water the next morning. I think these villagers in our village probably didn't expect to have freshly cooked steamed buns and hot soup."
As soon as Xu's mother finished speaking, a man spoke up embarrassedly, "Aunt Xu, you don't have to prepare breakfast for us tomorrow. This hot breakfast is obviously made early. Just give us some hot water. We have our own dry food. We are from the same village, so don't be so polite!"
"That's right, you have to get up so early!" The men next to them also echoed.
"You guys, just focus on eating, don't worry about anything else!" Xu's mother waved her hand, "Hurry up and sit down, I'll serve you some soup!"
When the men picked up the hot soup, they found that there were egg drops in it. They usually made soup at home, but it was just cabbage soup or something like that. Today, they had egg drop soup to drink while working. The men couldn't believe it. They picked up the bowl and took a sip. After tasting carefully, they found that there were small shrimps in it. This was actually what Xu Congyi had seen in the seasoning store last time. The price was not expensive, so he bought a bag of it. When he saw his mother making egg drop soup, he casually threw a handful in to enhance the flavor. Unexpectedly, it became a hobby for the men to compete with each other.
"Look, there are two small shrimps in my bowl", "There are three in my bowl", "What about me five?" The men were like children returning to their childhood.
"Hey! Miss Congyi, what is this?" A man asked curiously when he saw Xu Congyi carrying a bowl of black sauce and putting it on the table.
"This is the mushroom sauce I made this morning. Break the buns apart and use the spoon in the basin to scoop some on the buns. It's delicious!"
"And there's sauce for us? That's too expensive. You guys can take it back and eat it. We're already very satisfied with the hot buns and soup. But you're also making sauce for us. We really feel bad."
"We've already made it. It's such a big pot. We can't eat it all at home. Wouldn't it be a waste if it goes bad? You can eat it without worry!" Xu Congyi stood aside with a smile, "It's cold now. If you don't eat a full stomach, you won't have the energy to work!"
Since that was said, the men didn't hesitate any more, but secretly thought in their hearts that they must build a sturdy and beautiful rabbit house for them, so as not to let down the Xu family's kindness. After eating and drinking, the men consciously washed the used dishes and put them on the table. Old man Xu brought a big pot, and hunter Xu brought two buckets of water, and led them to the place where they were going to build the rabbit house and started working.
The people over there were busy non-stop, while Xu Congyi here was thinking about what to eat for lunch. On the first day of work, the first meal should be richer, which has become an unwritten rule. The days after that can be simpler. The first dish is braised pork offal. The pork offal bought in the space is processed, and there is no need to clean it up. Just wash it several times with clean water and flour. Xu Congyi bought three sets of pork offal and cooked them all, filling the whole house with a rich braised aroma. The second dish is stir-fried shredded potatoes, cooked with a little vinegar and pepper, which is very refreshing. The third dish is braised eggplant, which is fried first and then braised. It is full of oil and water. The eggplant is cut into small pieces and fried in a pan until golden. Then add various seasonings to make it delicious. The last dish Xu Congyi planned to make was pork, cabbage and tofu stew. At first, she also wanted to put some vermicelli in it, but there were not many vermicelli left from the previous preparation, and it was only enough for the whole family to have another meal, so she simply did not put it in. She cut the pork into small pieces, cut the cabbage into large slices, and cut the tofu into small pieces, and stewed them slowly to allow each ingredient to be fully blended together.
Although there are only four dishes, the portion of each dish is sufficient to fill one up. For breakfast, we eat multi-grain steamed buns, so we can eat rice for lunch. Yesterday, Xu Congyi bought some three-color brown rice from the space, soaked them in water in advance, and then steamed them with white rice after waiting for a while. The steamed rice still tastes good and is not conspicuous.
Xu's mother and Li Dahua were in charge of cleaning in the yard, and Xu Congyi was preparing dishes in the kitchen. Except for the Xu family who took care of their children eating three meals a day during school, most people here were used to eating two meals a day. In the morning, the men had to eat breakfast because they had to work, but when they got home, they still had to eat dinner around three or four o'clock. So when they discussed yesterday, the Xu family decided to change the lunch time to around ten o'clock in the morning, and not cook when it was time for dinner. After all, it gets dark early now, and it would be dark by the time the men came home after dinner.
I'd better braise the pig's offal first, and the remaining three meals are all quick and easy dishes that can be prepared when it's almost time to eat. I've peeled the potatoes in the yard and soaked them in a basin of clean water to prevent oxidation. I don't need to peel the eggplants, I've also washed them and put them in a basin to wait for cutting them into pieces. I've also washed five Chinese cabbages for later use. The amount of vegetables I've prepared is enough, and I'd rather have the leftovers for myself than let the workers go hungry.
Xu Congyi glanced at the watch secretly. It was only eight o'clock when all was done. It would not be too late to do it after nine o'clock. Today was still a day without making popcorn. She slept very well yesterday. Although she got up very early in the morning, she was not sleepy at all. She just wanted to go back and practice calligraphy.
As she wrote, Xu Congyi's thoughts drifted away. These days she has been hesitating whether to tell the Xu family about the existence of the space. In the future, the family business will surely grow bigger and bigger, and she might have to take out many things from the space. Some of them she really wanted to use but couldn't. So the desire to tell the Xu family became stronger and stronger. She thought about it. If she told them, she would not say that she had a space. She only said that when she was unconscious, the gods not only gave her the book of gods, but also gave her a treasure. Most of the things she wanted can be found in the treasure. This era is not atheism. On the contrary, everyone believes in gods. But she is also afraid of counterproductive. After all, she is a person blessed with the "Resurrection Card". If someone says that she is a monster, it will be even more troublesome.
Without coming up with a conclusion, Xu Congyi sighed and decided to wait a little longer. In fact, it was okay to keep it a secret from his family. It would only take him a little more effort, but it was no big deal. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Congyi went to the kitchen and planned to fry the eggplant first, then stew the pork, cabbage and tofu, and finally grate the potatoes, and hurry the men back to fry them.
