Chapter 571 Mu Ying and the Old Woman
Mu Ying didn't care, went straight into the house, found the kitchen, and entered.
When she came to the kitchen, Mu Ying took out a bag of flour and a pot of water that she had already prepared from her soul guide bracelet, and put them on the chopping board of the old woman's house.
After putting it away, Mu Ying found another utensil, mixed some water and part of the flour, stirred it evenly, kneaded it, and prepared to knead the dough.
Mu Ying moved her hands and kneaded very quickly and carefully. She tied her hair in advance to prevent her long purple hair from touching her face. She also rolled up her sleeves in advance to prevent them from touching the flour.
After a while, the kneading is completed, and the flour and water are kneaded to form a spherical dough.
The dough is still not very round and the skin is not smooth.
Mu Ying stopped, took out a dry towel to cover, and let it stand.
Wake up!
After waking up, Mu Ying took out a handful of shallots from her soul tool bracelet.This was picked from the nearby farmland. The shallots planted in the central part of the Wuhun Empire to the north all grow very large. Only the southern part and the Star Luo Empire have this kind of shallot.
Mu Ying put the shallots on the chopping board, took out a small knife that looked like a dagger, and quickly cut the shallots into chopped green onions.
After cutting it, Mu Ying found an enamel cup specially for cooking oil from the cupboard at the old woman's house.
However, there was no cooking oil in the enamel cup, and the cooking oil in it had already been poured out by soldiers of the Star Luo Empire who came to loot it.
Burning, killing, looting, and destroying everything that cannot be taken away, this is what the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire do.
The old woman's house and the village were lucky, it just happened to rain that day, and the fish oil carried by the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire had been consumed, so it was not burned.
But even so, almost everything in the house was destroyed, and nothing was left intact.
Mu Ying took out a bottle of butter that belonged to the Wuhun Empire from her soul guide bracelet, and poured it in.
Unlike the Star Luo Empire, the Wuhun Empire raised a lot of cattle and sheep, but the planting industry was not so developed. Therefore, the cooking oil was mainly butter, while the Star Luo Empire used peanut oil.
After filling it up, Mu Ying took out a small iron box from her soul guide bracelet and filled it up with edible salt.
After doing all this, she estimated that it was almost time to wake up, so she turned around and removed the dry towel covering the dough.
Under the towel, the dough has fermented very well, the surface is smooth, it is a very nice spherical shape, and the surface even reflects light!
Muying moved her hands, she stretched the dough into long strips, then divided it into two small balls, and then stretched one of the small balls...
Mu Ying imitated the chef from the north of the Wuhun Empire, stretching the dough, folding it, stretching it again, folding it again, repeating the cycle.
In a short time, a small handful of ramen was finished.
However, it is the first time for Mu Ying to do it, so the pulling is not very uniform, and some places at both ends are slightly thick.
It's not very pretty.
Mu Ying frowned slightly, but then relaxed it again.
Forget it, it's okay, as long as you can eat.
With this in mind, Mu Ying lit the stove at the old woman's house, boiled the water, put in the cooking oil first, and then put in the noodles.
The noodles go into the pot and boil after a while.
After cooking, Mu Ying found two bowls, according to the instructions of Wuhun Empire's chef, put a teaspoon of salt in the bottom of the bowls, then scooped up the noodles and put them into the bowls.
After putting it away, she sprinkled chopped green onion on the noodles, scooped two spoonfuls of original soup from the pot, and poured it into a bowl.
Mu Ying didn't put any meat, not only the pork from the Star Luo Empire, but even the beef from the Wuhun Empire's military ration.Of course, it's not that she doesn't want to let it go, but because the Wuhun Empire has strict management. In order to prevent corruption, meat is strictly counted and inventoried.
There are clear records of how many catties were used that day and where they were used. There is no way for Mu Ying to take the beef without giving any explanation.
Of course it is okay to intercede with Qian Nawei, but Mu Ying doesn't want to do that, she doesn't want others to know what she is doing.
At the old woman's house, Mu Ying made two bowls of noodles and brought them to the main hall, which was the room where the old woman was sitting.
Mu Ying came to an old dining table in the main hall, put a bowl of noodles on the table, sat on the long bench, and ate another bowl by herself.
Maybe it was because she was tired from fighting before, or maybe she was hungry after the meal, but Mu Ying ate very well and made a loud noise.
"Chi Liu Chi Liu...!"
The sound of sucking noodles caused the old woman to keep pursing her lips, and her stomach also made a gurgling sound.
However, the old woman still looked at Mu Ying with suspicion, hatred, and hatred.
The old woman did not understand the difference between the soldiers of the Spirit Empire and the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire. She had lived in this village since she was a child, and she could often see the arrogance and rudeness of the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.
In the eyes of the old woman, all soldiers in the world are the same, there is no difference, they are all... beasts!Moreover, the old woman was once ravaged by soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, she was lucky enough to escape from death.
Therefore, the old woman hated and loathed all soldiers.No matter which country or region, it's the same!
Mu Ying didn't know all of this.
Not expensive, and Mu Ying also knew that this old woman would not trust herself easily, so she ate the noodles she cooked in front of the old woman.
Now, this old woman should believe that there is no poison in my face.
Mu Ying thought so in her heart, without moving her head, her eyes turned to the direction where the old woman was sitting, carefully observing the old woman's expression.
On the dilapidated wooden sofa not far away, the old woman did not step forward, let alone beg Mu Ying for her food.However, the old woman was obviously very greedy, and some longing flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Mu Ying saw that she already had a result in her heart.
After making sure, Mu Ying finished eating quickly, and ate up her portion of noodles in the bowl.After eating, she put down the bowl and chopsticks, her expression was still indifferent, without saying a word, she walked straight out of the house built with mud walls...
In the afternoon, Mu Ying stayed with Qian Nawei for a long time, and in the evening, she came to the old woman's house again.
The old woman didn't sit on the wooden sofa. When Mu Ying entered the room, she only saw the dilapidated square dining table in the main hall.
The dining table is broken, with holes in some places on the surface, some corrosion on the edges, and mildew in a small part.
On the dining table, the two white porcelain bowls that Mu Ying put on in the morning were gone, and neither were the chopsticks.It was cleaned up very cleanly, although it was very broken.
Mu Ying blinked, guessing in her heart.
Is it eaten?Or is it down?
Thinking of this in her heart, Mu Ying stepped forward and found the old woman in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the old woman sat behind the stove.
Mu Ying looked at it, her face remained indifferent, and she went straight to the chopping board, preparing to do the same thing as in the morning, making dinner for the old woman.
However, at this moment, the old woman suddenly beckoned to Mu Ying.
"Hey, little girl, are you a soldier of the Wuhun Empire? I went to ask the village head, and the village head said that you Wuhun Empire soldiers are very good, and you are here to help us liberate, is that true?"
Although the old woman asked in this way, deep in her eyes were hopes, doubts, and distrust. Those eyes contained too many emotions and were too complicated.
Mu Ying knew that her words were useless. Even if she affirmed it, she could only respond to the hope in the old woman's heart, but she could not dispel her worries.
It seems that we can only continue to take practical actions.
Mu Ying thought to herself, nodded briefly, walked to the chopping board, and continued to do the same thing as in the morning, making face to face.
Behind Mu Ying, the old woman was just as Mu Ying guessed, she was not elated, but looked at Mu Ying's back with suspicion and scrutiny, her expression was also very complicated, some hated, some unbelievable, she even bit her lip from time to time .
Mu Ying just glanced at it and didn't care anymore.
After that, it took a while for Mu Ying to reconcile and pull the noodles together, then she turned around and walked to the cupboard. After opening the cupboard, she prepared to take out two white porcelain bowls from it.
Inside the cupboard, Mu Ying saw that the two white porcelain bowls were washed very clean in the morning, and the whiteness was spotless.
The reason why Mu Ying could recognize it was of course because the white porcelain bowl in the old woman's house was relatively old, and there were more or less damage or traces in some places, and Mu Ying recognized it by relying on these.
It appears to be eaten and washed.
The expression on Mu Ying's face softened a little, not so indifferent.She took out the two white porcelain bowls, went to the stove, and cooked noodles.
After a while, two bowls of noodles were cooked, and Mu Ying brought them to the dining table.
This time, the old woman also sat at the table.
Sitting at the dining table, the old woman didn't reach for it directly, but pointed to a bowl of noodles on the table with one hand, turned her head and looked at Mu Ying, asking carefully and complicatedly.
"Can I... get a bowl?"
At this time, Mu Ying's expression had returned to indifference. She didn't answer. She glanced at it, nodded casually, took another bowl, and ate it on her own.
Seeing Mu Ying nodding, the old woman hesitated for a moment, took the remaining bowl, picked up the bottom and edge of the bowl with her left hand, and the chopsticks with her right hand, and began to eat.
Perhaps because of hunger, the old woman didn't even mix it, she just leaned her mouth against the edge of the bowl, and the chopsticks began to shovel into it.
Mu Ying glanced at it, didn't turn her head, and spoke casually, as if she was talking to herself.
"Don't eat too fast, you will choke."
The speed at which the old woman ate noodles suddenly slowed down...
After eating noodles, Mu Ying got up, picked up the white porcelain bowl she had finished eating noodles, and reached out to the white porcelain bowl in front of the old woman.
The old woman ate much faster than Mu Ying before, the noodles in the bowl had already been eaten, there was not a single bit left, even the noodle soup was emptied.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand to block Mu Ying.
"No...don't take it, I'll wash the dishes."
Mu Ying didn't reply, just took the bowls and chopsticks, turned around, and walked to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, because the wooden basin in the old woman's house had already been damaged, Mu Ying took out a wooden basin from her soul guide bracelet, poured some water, and washed the two sets of dishes and chopsticks.
After cleaning and putting it away in the cupboard, Mu Ying glanced at the empty water tank, then turned around and left the kitchen.
Mu Ying looked around and walked around the old woman's house, like wandering around.
The old woman was very nervous and kept following Mu Ying, for fear that this female soldier of the Wuhun Empire would destroy her home again.But obviously, her worries were unnecessary.
