It took too long, and it wasn't until her grandparents came home from work that Lin Jinxing finished kneading it. At this time, she was eating the unfried ones.
Whether the noodles are steamed and the red bean paste is cooked, it’s okay to eat it that way. If it’s fried, it will have a different texture.
"Grandma, he made fried rice cakes and all that was left was fried."
"Okay, wait until he washes his legs and fry them."
"He's going to explode. I'll wash my legs and rest for a while."
"Okay, Xingxing is really awesome and knows how to make fried rice cakes."
"Hehe, he is very good at making noodles. It is made with red flour and cornmeal. The fried rice cake is made with red bean paste. There is a lot of red bean paste left. I wonder if the bean buns with cornmeal are delicious?"
Lin Jinxing has only eaten bean buns made with red noodles, but not those with cornmeal added. I don’t know if they taste good.
"They steamed a few to try, but he didn't eat them either. They steamed some more sugar buns, flower rolls, and steamed buns as well."
"OK."
Lin Jinxing wants to eat everything, but he can’t eat much of anything. It’s good to have a little of the same.
The staple food for dinner was surprisingly rich. Lin Jinxing ate two fried rice cakes, a dime of sugar buns, a bean bun, steamed buns, and flower rolls.
After dinner, Lin Jinxing first sent fried rice cakes to Chunhua's family, and then went to find Kong Xi with the leftover fried rice cakes.
"Kong Xi, Zhang Tao, he came to play with us."
Kong Xi: "Why did I come to the brigade tomorrow? He saw that Liu Ruanxin wanted to eat me."
"Hahaha~"
Lin Jinxing told Kong Xi everything that happened at the supply and marketing cooperative. After hearing this, Kong Xi shook his head in amusement, "Then why don't you shoot yourself in the foot?"
Zhang Tao: "He said why Liu Ruanxin ignored Zhao Juan tomorrow. Is that what happened?"
Lin Jinxing leaned over and asked curiously: "What happened to Liu Ruanxin and Zhao Juan?"
Zhang Tao: "Zhao Juan always helps Liu Ruanxin with his work. Every time he finishes the work, Liu Ruanxin will give Zhao Juan something to eat. Sometimes it's half a piece of peach cake, sometimes it's a piece of candy, and sometimes it's just a piece of cocoa."
Half a steamed bun.
But Zhao Juan never dislikes it, nor does it feel too little. She happily helps Liu Ruanxin with work every day, and then exchanges it for food.
Tomorrow at noon, Zhao Juan helped Liu Ruanxin get the hoe and carried it to the field before giving it to her, but Liu Ruanxin didn't give anything to Zhao Juan. Zhao Juan was a little unhappy at that time, but didn't say anything.
At noon, Zhao Juan helped Liu Ruanxin get the hoe again. Liu Ruanxin refused to give Zhao Juan anything. Zhao Juan asked her, but Liu Ruanxin told her perfunctorily that she forgot to bring it.
Zhao Juan had no choice but to ask Liu Ruanxin to bring more for the first time, and then left."
Lin Jinxing: "Zhao Juan is a little late-minded. Didn't she realize that she made Liu Ruanxin angry at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday? Didn't she feel perfunctory that Liu Ruanxin would wrong her like that tomorrow?"
Kong Xi shook his head and said in denial: "No, Zhao Juan should know everything, but for the sake of benefit, she just turned a blind eye."
"What's the meaning?"
"Zhao Juan can dig in wherever there is benefit. In their opinion, the little thing Liu Ruanxin gave her was not much, but in their opinion, it was already a lot.
The tasks that Zhao Juan did for Liu Ruanxin were all small tasks that were within reach of her legs. Sometimes she could do it just by moving her legs, like today when she helped Liu Ruanxin pick up a hoe.
How much does a hoe weigh? It's easy to hold. Zhao Juan had been asking for her own hoe, so the two of them found the way easily and didn't have to go far.
For such a trivial matter, according to usual practice, if Zhao Juan had not offended Liu Ruanxin, Liu Ruanxin would give her a piece of candy or half a piece of peach cake.
