Eating melons

Wu Mei naturally didn't know what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were thinking. She just thought that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt it would be more convenient to do it at Jiang Qi's house, so she didn't say anything and turned around to help Jiang Qi light the fire.

When Liu Jiaojiao heard that Wei Wei and Wu Mei were making buns, she asked curiously, "What kind of buns are you making? Can I join you?"

Liu Jiaojiao was almost going moldy after being alone at home. She could have chatted with Wu Mei, but she didn't expect that Wu Mei would go out to make buns with Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, leaving her alone at home.

Although Liu Jiaojiao is not good at work, she is still very good at helping out.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi naturally had no reason to refuse. "Sure! Let's come together. There's strength in numbers. Yu Zhiqing can come too."

Yu Xi naturally wanted to be with them, but was a little embarrassed to ask.

After all, Wei Wei and the others are all girls, and he is the only boy. Now that Wei Wei has taken the initiative to invite Yu Xi, there is naturally no reason for him to refuse.

After talking, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi hurried home to change clothes and soak their feet.

Jiang Qi looked at the pink cotton-padded jacket Wei Wei gave her and looked at Wei Wei flatteringly, "Can you buy the same one so we can wear it together?"

Jiang Qi felt a little uncomfortable being alone in such pink clothes. It would be fine if Wei Wei was with her.

Hearing Jiang Qi say this, Wei Wei bought herself an identical set without saying a word.

After a while, two pretty girls from Northeast China came out. As expected, it would be a bit embarrassing if one person dressed like this, but it would be totally fine if two people dressed like this.

Wu Mei, Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi were all stunned when they saw Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, especially Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei.

Wu Mei looked at the two people's clothes and couldn't help but remind them, "Weiwei, you should not wear these clothes to work. It's easy to get such nice clothes dirty when you work. If they get dirty, they won't look good when you wear them during the New Year."

Liu Jiaojiao's focus was different. She fell in love with the clothes at first sight.

"Where did you buy this? It's exactly the same. You didn't make it yourself! I want it with the same material as yours."

Wei Wei shook her head. "No more, but we still have some bright red material. Do you want some?"

Hearing the bright red color, Liu Jiaojiao nodded her head like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, yes, there's such a good thing! Isn't bright red even better?"

"Okay, I'll give it to you later."

Wei Wei took the overalls, or more accurately, their aprons, which were also their work clothes, and put them on.

Wei Wei did have a piece of bright red floral fabric, which she had taken from the Wei family, although bright colors such as bright red, red, and green were popular colors of that era.

But Wei Wei really couldn't appreciate it, and neither could Jiang Qi, so they stayed.

But she couldn't bear to give it to others. You know, Liu Aiying had been coveting it for a long time. But ever since Wei Wei found out that the people in the Red Star Brigade were cheating people, she had never given her such a popular fabric, let alone ordinary fabric.

Wei Wei had originally planned to give it to Xiao Xuemu, but seeing the look of disdain in Xiao Xuemu's eyes when he looked at the red and green cotton-padded jackets, she decided not to give it to him.

But now it seems that it’s not that this thing is unpopular, but that Xiao Xuemu’s vision is poor.

Wu Mei, who was standing next to them, brightened up when she saw Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's work clothes, because these clothes were so convenient.

But she couldn't bear to use so much fabric even for a work suit, and adding a little more would be enough to make a new set of clothes.

Wei Wei felt the temperature in the room, looked at the firewood in the stove, and added two more sticks.

Jiang Qi closed the door, opened the curtains, and turned on the kerosene lamp and flashlight.

Seeing Wei Wei and Jiang Qi like this, Wu Mei opened her mouth but then closed it and said nothing. After all, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's family background was different from hers, so there was no need for them to be as frugal as her.

Jiang Qi took out flour and corn flour from the cupboard and put them on the table. Wei Wei rubbed her hands.

"Come on, what should we do?"

Wu Mei was stunned when she saw the bags of flour on the table. After a while, she said, "Are you planning to cook all of this?"

Jiang Qi nodded. "Is there any problem? If it's not enough, Weiwei has some. I'll go get it."

Hearing this, Wu Mei quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough. If you cook all this flour and cornmeal, you can make hundreds of buns, steamed buns, and dumplings."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao, Yu Xi, Jiang Qi and Wei Wei were all stunned.

"Can you do so much?"

Wu Mei nodded. "Sure, you already weigh 15 or 16 pounds. By the way, what kind of fillings do you want to make for the buns and dumplings?"

Wei Wei took out a large piece of pork belly from the cabinet, weighing ten pounds, and a piece of pure lean meat, also weighing five or six pounds.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had been running out with a backpack a lot to avoid people recently, so it was not surprising that they took out so much meat.

"Is this meat enough for us? By the way, what kind of filling can we make with it?"

Wu Mei didn't expect Wei Wei and the others to have so much meat. "That's enough. We can't cook so much. We can make sauerkraut pork filling, pork and vermicelli filling, mushroom pork filling, and so many other things."

After hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also felt relieved.

"It's okay. If you can't finish it, you can continue tomorrow. I still have a lot of flour. It will be convenient to eat it later if you freeze it.

Let's make these for the meat filling! We also make some pure meat filling and some vegan filling. We also have plenty of cabbage and carrots.

Hearing about the huge workload, Wu Mei quickly said, "Then you guys go wash the pickled vegetables and soak the vermicelli noodles! I'll knead the dough."

Yu Xi also took the two pieces of meat and said, "Then I'll chop the meat."

Liu Jiaojiao saw that everyone else had work, so it wasn't a good idea for her to just stand there and do it, so she quickly asked, "Then what should I do?"

"I soaked a lot of mushrooms last night. I'll get a knife and a cutting board, and you can help us chop them up!"

After saying that, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi went to Wei Wei to get the knife, chopping board and mushrooms.

Wei Wei also took a lot of white sugar and brown sugar. The white sugar was put into the cornmeal buns, and the brown sugar could be used to make brown sugar buns.

The two of them took a large bowl of pickled cabbage. With such a big scene today, many people must know that they were making dumplings.

The old educated youth from the educated youth institute came over to sweep the snow for them for the whole morning. They also sent things here a lot during this period. When the time comes, they will send them some sauerkraut buns.

In fact, the main reason was that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had two large jars of sauerkraut that they couldn't finish. Jiang Qi's jar was okay, as they usually slept at Wei Wei's house, so it didn't have much impact.

But the jar on Wei Wei's side was not good. When both of them slept at night, their noses were filled with the smell of sour cabbage.

Even though I just took such a big basin, the jar of sauerkraut is still more than half full.

The two of them usually consume pickled vegetables mainly in the form of pickled fish, and they rarely touch anything else. Now that they have the chance, they naturally have to seize the opportunity to consume it all.

Wu Mei kneaded the dough very quickly. Before Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had even cut the sauerkraut, Wu Mei's noodles were ready.

Wu Mei clapped her hands and said, "Do you have anything to make dumplings with? This bowl of dough is ready, you can put it on the kang and wake up."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi immediately understood. They had seen this on Tik Tok and they knew this.

Jiang Qi immediately took out a clean new sack to cover the basin, and then took out her quilt to cover it.

Wu Mei was also stunned by Jiang Qi's action, but she didn't say anything.

"Do you have any more basins? Mix all the dough now while we still have time."

Jiang Qi immediately found three vegetable washing basins for Wu Mei. "Is this enough? If not, there are more over there."

When Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin left, they gave them a key and told them to just go to their place and get whatever they needed.

Wu Mei saw the three basins and said quickly, "That's enough, that's enough."

After mixing the two bowls of dough, the dough in that bowl will be almost risen. Just empty the other bowl first.

Wei Wei was so excited that Wu Mei felt like she was sweating while sitting on the kang.
