Chapter 9 9. Take a rest at the transfer station
After returning to the room with the "exchanged" things, Lin Qingxi took out a small iron pot wrapped in newspaper from the big bag, and then began to make steamed buns with cornmeal and flour.
We have to take the train for several days, so we can't buy food on the train, so we can only cook something ourselves and bring it to the train.
After taking a shower, Lin Yizheng and the other three came to Lin Qingxi's room with their dirty clothes. When they saw her making noodles and preparing food, they knew she was taking them to the car to eat, and they felt very happy.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you," Lin Yizheng happily ran up and helped Lin Qingxi wash the pot and prepare to steam the steamed buns.
"Wait a minute, Yi Zheng. You cook the rice first and make some rice balls to eat on the car later. I'll get some sweet potatoes and taro out and steam them together when I steam the steamed buns."
Lin Qingxi looked at Lin Yizheng and asked him to do other things, otherwise she would not be able to quietly put some sweet potatoes and taro into the big bag.
"I know, sister-in-law," Lin Yizheng swallowed when he heard about making pure rice balls, and quickly did what he could.
Soon, Xiang Yijing came back from taking a bath and saw Lin Qingxi and Lin Yizheng preparing food. She put down what she was doing and was about to help. However, Lin Qingxi stopped her and asked Xiang Yijing to go and help first.
The clothes everyone changed into were washed, otherwise they would not be dry when we leave tomorrow.
After listening to Xiang Yijing's words, she quickly picked up the pile of dirty clothes, called Lin Yirong and went to the bathhouse over there to wash clothes. It would be faster if they both washed together.
Lin Qingxi mixed the noodles, covered them with a white cloth to rest, then took out ten large sweet potatoes and ten taros from the big baggage, then grabbed a dozen red dates and a handful of brown sugar, and closed the big baggage.
On the other side, Lin Yizheng had already cooked the rice, and helped Lin Qingxi crush the red dates, take out the date cores, and put them in enamel cups. After Lin Qingxi finished doing this, she opened the large suitcase and opened it in front of Lin Yizheng.
He took out a white cloth bag, grabbed a few handfuls of millet from the bag and put it in an enamel cup.
When the rice was cooked, Lin Qingxi spread the rice with a spatula to cool it. After waiting for a few minutes, she began to wrap the rice balls and stuffed a piece of braised pork that Lin Qingxi bought from a state-owned restaurant into the middle of the rice balls.
After the rice balls were ready, the small iron pot was empty, but before the noodles were ready, Lin Qingxi took the opportunity to cook millet porridge. After the water boiled, she poured the red date meat and brown sugar into the pot.
.
"Yizheng, you look at the pot here, while my sister-in-law goes to the bathhouse to take a bath. You have to remember to stir and don't boil it," Lin Qingxi told Lin Yizheng to look at the pot and immediately put on his clothes and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Because she was worried that Lin Yizheng would cause trouble, she took the time to take a combat bath and wash her hair. As for the dirty clothes, she took them to Xiang Yijing to wash. She had to go back to her room quickly.
Fortunately, Lin Yizheng was reliable. When Lin Qingxi came over, he kept stirring the iron pot with a spatula. Lin Yizheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Qingxi coming over.
Lin Qingxi looked at him amusedly, not caring about teasing him. She took the spatula, scooped some out and looked at it, and found that it would be ready after boiling a little.
"Yizheng, please keep an eye on it. After cooking, put it into an enamel cup. I'll wipe off my hair first." Because there was no time, Lin Qingxi's hair was still dripping with water, which made her uncomfortable at all.
By the time Lin Qingxi had dried her hair, the millet and red date porridge had been poured into an enamel cup by Lin Yizheng. He poured half of the water in the pot and put it on the stove, put a drawer in, and put a piece of
Covered with a white cloth of cornmeal, Lin Qingxi started making steamed buns.
Steamed buns are not like steamed buns, which can be directly shaped into a shape and placed in the pot. When the pot is full, Lin Qingxi will cover the pot and continue to make the remaining cornmeal.
When Xiang Yijing and the three of them came back, the first pot of cornmeal buns had already been steamed, the second pot had just been steamed, and there were only about five or six left in the third pot. The free space was perfect for steaming sweet potatoes and taro.
Five kilograms of cornmeal was steamed in two and a half pots. Each of the first two pots contained twenty steamed buns, but they were not big steamed buns, and they were not fist-sized buns.
"Let's wait for this pot to steam, then go to a state-owned restaurant to have lunch. These are reserved for the car. Don't think about saving money. You must know that buying food on the car is more expensive and not delicious. State-owned restaurants are better than those on the car.
It’s much cheaper and delicious.”
Looking at Lin Yizheng and the others who were swallowing their saliva, Lin Qingxi said angrily that she had not forgotten what these people said about her when she was buying food in the car.
Almost twenty minutes later, the last pot was finished. Lin Qingxi put the steamed buns on the bed with a white cloth and let them cool down naturally. Then she took Lin Yizheng and the four of them to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.
Regardless of lunch, dinner and breakfast the next day were all taken care of at a state-owned hotel. As for lunch the next day, they were eaten in the car.
While having breakfast, Lin Qingxi took two aluminum lunch boxes and packed a portion of braised pork and spicy rabbit, intending to keep them and eat steamed buns in the car.
There were not many people on the train to Qinghe City. Lin Qingxi and the others got on the train easily, found their beds, put down their luggage, and sat down to rest.
As soon as she got in the car, Lin Qingxi looked at the scenery outside the window for several hours. It wasn't until she was hungry that she took out the steamed buns and aluminum lunch box from her luggage.
"Yijing, you and Yikang should eat some millet porridge, don't just eat steamed buns." After Lin Qingxi finished eating, she took a bite of the steamed buns and a piece of rabbit meat.
Xiang Yijing didn't listen to Lin Qingxi and gave the millet porridge to Xiang Yikang. She ate the steamed buns. The millet porridge not only nourished the body but also nourished people. Of course, she had to give it to Lin Qingxi and the youngest Xiang Yikang.
have eaten.
Lin Qingxi shook her head helplessly, and in the end she could only force everyone to take a few sips, and let Xiang Yikang eat the remaining portion.
After lunch, Lin Qingxi put the steamed buns and aluminum lunch box into the wooden bucket, sat and read for a while, then lay down with Xiang Yikang in her arms and slept for a while.
Xiang Yijing couldn't sleep, so he let Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong sleep on the middle bunk, while he sat by the bed and guarded the luggage.
In the afternoon, Lin Qingxi had just woken up. Before she could recover, she heard the loudspeaker in the car blaring. The loudspeaker played in a loop, "Is there a doctor in the car? If so, please call the doctor on the 19th."
Carriage, a passenger here has an emergency, please ask a doctor to come to Car No. 19..."
Hearing the sound of the horn, Lin Qingxi instantly became energetic. She took out her medical license and a small first aid kit from the large suitcase, and said: "Yizheng, look at your younger brothers and sisters. Sister-in-law, go and take a look."
Check out Car No. 19. Before my sister-in-law comes back, don’t run around and wait for her to come back."
As soon as Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she ran away with her suitcase. They were in Car No. 19. It took two or three minutes to get to Car No. 19. In order to make time, Lin Qingxi trotted all the way over.
