Chapter 220: Men and women work together without getting tired (third update)

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes! You all have dinner at my house at noon, I have to show off my skills!"

Luo Fengtang smiled.

The last time I came to Qing'er's house for dinner at night, Qing'er was the one who prepared the food on the table.

The taste is so good, I will miss it a lot during this time!

The boy looked around the kitchen, and finally he strode to the door of the kitchen.

The tall body squatted down and guarded the kitchen door.

"Hey, if you don't go to my dad's house and sit and drink tea, why are you holding the kitchen door?"

Yang Ruoqing turned around and saw him squatting at the kitchen door.

The stove mouth was already cramped, and there were bundles of pine feathers tied with thatch piled next to the wall.

Just leave a space wide for one person in the middle.

He squatted his head that way, and the blockage was so tight that she couldn't even go in and stuff firewood into the stove mouth under the big pot.

Hearing her question, Luo Fengtang said without raising his head: "I will help you stuff the firewood."

"What?"

Yang Ruoqing was surprised.

"This is not your home. If you give me some firewood, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you?" she joked.

In this era, men are superior to women.

Men are the backbone of the family and do hard work in the fields.

At home, cooking, washing, taking care of the children, feeding the pigs and chickens, and cleaning the yard are all women's duties.

Most men don’t do it.

Whoever does it will be laughed at if others see it.

"What's so funny about that? In my own home, my uncle and I both cook!"

At the entrance of the stove, Luo Fengtang said disapprovingly.

"That's different, your family is just you and your uncle, there are no women." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang still shook his head: "Others can laugh whatever they want, I just do what I want!"

Yang Ruoqing thought about it and felt that what he said was reasonable.

Ten thousand people have ten thousand opinions. People should live for themselves, no matter what others think of them?

In this era, men are superior to women, and women serve men as if they were gods and even wash men's feet.

In modern society, many girls like to marry men who can cook!

“Okay, then you can help me stuff the firewood so that we can work together as a man and a woman without getting tired!”

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily, picked up the sieve made of bamboo strips, and scooped out an appropriate amount of rice.

She took the sieve to the pigsty outside and began to sift the rice.

This rice is pounded out using an old-fashioned stone mortar, and the shelling is not as clean as those of modern rice milling machines.

There are also some rice husks mixed in.

Sifting rice beside the pig pen, the rice husks and broken rice grains sifted out are just enough to feed the old hens.

She put the washed rice mixed with sweet potato chunks into the large pot inside, added water and covered the pot.

At the mouth of the stove, Luo Fengtang has also fished out a handful of pine hair, lit it with flint and steel, and stuffed it into the stove mouth...

Yang Ruoqing turned around and took out another handful of cabbage, two A root of lettuce, squatting on one side and breaking off the leaves on it.

While looking at Luo Fengtang at the door of the stove.

The boy was squatting in front of the stove inside. The stove was very low and he was very tall.

When stuffing firewood inside, you have to bend down and look at it, which is a bit laborious.

However, there was no trace of disgust on his face.

The fire in the stove was dancing, and the firelight reflected his face.

The cold and hard lines seem to have softened a bit, and they are concentrating on it, as if they are doing something extremely important.

Yang Ruoqing looked at him while breaking off the leaves of cabbage and lettuce in her hands.

The corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.

"Qing'er, do you plan to stir-fry or make soup with this cabbage?"

Luo Fengtang's cold questioning voice came over, and Yang Ruoqing suddenly came back to her senses.

She lowered her head and glanced at the cabbage in her hand.

Head full of black lines!

She originally planned to break it into pieces and fry them.

But now, the cabbage was torn into strips by her.

"Hey, we're making soup, tear it into thin pieces!"

Yang Ruoqing quickly smoothed things over for herself.

Luo Fengtang did not doubt that he had it. He nodded, retracted his gaze and continued to tend to the fire of the big pot inside. Here, Yang Ruoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

And I despised myself in my heart.

Yang Ruoqing, Yang Ruoqing, you are really worthless!

I almost ruined the food by looking at people stuffing firewood!

The next step was to peel the lettuce, and she didn’t dare to be distracted anymore.

When he picked up the kitchen knife and was about to cut it, Luo Fengtang came over.

"Let me do this."

He said, he couldn't help but take the kitchen knife and lettuce from her hand, and began to peel them.

Yang Ruoqing stepped aside, holding her knees with her hands and watching him cut.

She likes cooking, but doesn't like peeling.

Especially vegetables with a bumpy surface like lettuce are always laborious to peel.

Not to mention that all the skin and flesh are peeled off, and it is easy to cut your fingers.

But now, I am watching Tang Yazi peeling lettuce.

Only Yang Ruoqing realized that the problem was not with Lettuce, but with herself.

There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains.

Several pleasant sounds came to my ears.

Whoosh...

In a few breaths, two thick lettuces were there He took off his coat under the knife.

Revealing the green, tender body inside.

"Here, it's peeled, wash it and then slice it."

He handed the peeled lettuce to Yang Ruoqing, turned around and quickly returned to his position, picking up the of fire sticks.

The handful of pine hair in the stove has not been burned yet!

Here, Yang Ruoqing looked at the lettuce in her hand and nodded repeatedly.

"Tangyaozi, your swordsmanship is really impressive, it's so crisp and clean, so beautiful!"

Luo Fengtang smiled sheepishly and did not bite.

"Okay, I'll go outside and wash myself at the well and then come back."

She picked up the cabbage and lettuce and got up and left the kitchen.

Put the washed cabbage and lettuce in a dustpan to dry first.

Yang Ruoqing turned around and went back to her room. After a while, she brought out a dried rabbit.

"Tangyazi, do you like spicy food?"

She washed the dried rabbit with the rice water she used before and asked Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "I like it."

She smiled, pointed at the rabbit soaked in the rice water and said: "I will make a 'diving rabbit' for you to try at noon. Taste!”

Diving bunny?

What a strange name.

Luo Fengtang was surprised, then stood up and looked at the rabbit she was cleaning.

"This rabbit is..." he asked.

“That day when we went into the mountains together, it was the one I picked up!” she said.

When I saw this rabbit, I thought of the white puppy in the fir forest.

I wonder how it is recovering from its injury?

You are so young, but you know how to repay kindness. You are so spiritual!

The rabbit was quickly cleaned, and Yang Ruoqing planned to chop it into pieces.

Luo Fengtang came over to pick up her kitchen knife again.

Glancing at the trace of worry that flashed across his eyes, she felt warm in her heart.

“I’m such a big person, and it’s not my first day cutting vegetables, so I don’t know how to chop vegetables.”

She said with a smile.

Seeing that he still looked worried, she smiled helplessly.

“If you really want to help me, help me pour this basin of dirty water into the ditch outside the backyard, and then bring a basin of clean well water back.”

"Yeah!"

Luo Fengtang picked up the basin of dirty rice water in which the rabbit had been washed, turned around and left the kitchen.

Here, Yang Ruoqing picked up the kitchen knife and started to chop the rabbit.
