Today, Kiki originally did not want to go with Fang xionan, but the man insisted and this is where they are now .
Kiki sat down on the chair, while Fang xionan went to order some food. It looked like he had come here often, judging by the way he ordered the dishes.
There was an awkward feeling between them, so no one spoke until the food menu arrived at the table.
It turned out that Fang Xionan ordered so many dishes for himself.
"Do you order all the menus here?" kiki asked surprised at the number."It's like a menu for one family, isn't it?" added again.
"Yes, I'm a big guy, so it's only natural that I eat a lot. Unfortunately, I can't go here every day. I'm afraid it's considered a capitalist who needs to be arrested for showing off wealth" Fang xionan explained as he sipped his soup.
Kiki only glanced at him for a moment and then focused on his food.
He lifted his chopsticks and started eating meat noodles with soft tofu.
"If there was soy sauce, this would definitely be the perfect soup," Kiki thought to herself.
It took a few minutes for Kiki to finish a bowl of meat noodles with tofu and some celery. But Fang xionan had already spent three bowls at a time.
It was clear Fang xionan was not bothered by the presence of a beautiful girl in front of him.
"It looks like you're pretty good at eating huh," Kiki said.
Fang xionan only glanced at him, and when his mouth was empty, he replied, "People who once starved must have appreciated food, just as people who were once close to death cherished life greatly."
"Oh, so. I'm sorry, I forgot" Kiki replied.
He thought Fang xionan had experienced dark years of hunger, so that was why he valued food so much. But Kiki was half right, Fang xionan did experience her but not in those years, this was on the doomsday that was more frightening than Kiki thought.
This way Kiki waited for some time for Fang xionan to finish his meal.And it wasn't long, only about Fifteen minutes later.
"Go home?"fang Xionan asked Kiki.
"I'm off today anyway.If there are prints, I want to learn to make soap today" Kiki said as they walked towards the district city gate.
"Oh the print is ready, this morning, I threw it in your yard"
Kiki was immediately numb, what kind of man would send such throw-away items. However, Kiki did not intend to ask the culprit.
Since Fang Xionan was not following her anymore, Kiki's journey home became more relaxed.
Up to the house he actually saw five one-meter-long planks engraved with small plots inside.
"Wow does he know these little soap molds? Ckckck this is good" said Kiki laughing.
One board is carved into twenty-five small boxes that even have the size of leaves there.If this soap is so definitely beautiful once.the size is even fit to be grasped.
Expensive bath soap and washing soap in the year 70 is already in existence. But everything just has a length of about 20 cm. When people want to buy it you need to cut it again into pieces. Rarely does anyone buy it whole.
So if Kiki made soap with Fang xionan's mold, Kiki felt she was looking at bath soap in the modern era.
Kiki immediately sat down at her kitchen table in seriousness, the bath soap recipe book opened up in front. Excitedly, he dug up the necessary materials. Among the various ingredients, there is a bottle of chamomile flower essence that gives a soft and soothing aroma.
"It's a good thing I've made a lot of flower oil this late on.As my soap will be the first flower-smelling bath soap in the country" Kiki said in her heart.
But Kiki is confident with this recipe, this is a recipe that has undergone improvements and improvements so , perfect.
What Kiki chose was a recipe for a bath soap that was able to brighten the skin and moisturize as well.This is because in the countryside the skin is prone to dry and brownish as well because of the work in the fields.
Else
"But now I'm ready to make soap"
He began to carefully mix the basic ingredients, following the recipe instructions with great concentration. Kiki felt pounding, as this was the first time she tried to make bath soap with the scent of chamomile flowers that became her favorite.
After mixing the basic ingredients, he heated the mixture slowly, seeing the texture turn into a liquid pulp. Kiki tries to keep the temperature from getting too high, ensuring that the soap will be of good quality later.
Then, it was time to add the essence of chamomile flowers. Kiki opened the bottle carefully and a gentle fragrance immediately filled the entire room. The smell was so soothing, it made her feel like she was in the middle of a beautiful chamomile flower field.
He poured the essence into the mixture, looking expectantly at how the color of the soap began to turn into a soft and bright color. The scent of chamomile flowers gets stronger as the soap begins to harden.
The first attempt did not go well. The soap does not harden well and the aroma of chamomile is not evenly mixed. Kiki was not discouraged, she knew that soap making was an art that required precision.
"Ahh apparently making bath soap is not easy huh, Ckckck" Kiki said in his heart.
Kiki tried again for the second time. He corrected his previous mistakes and mixed the ingredients more carefully. However, the results are still not satisfactory. The smell of chamomile is still not as strong as he might have hoped, although the texture of the soap is slightly better.
In the third experiment, Kiki did everything more thoroughly. He measured each material with precision and added the chamomile essence carefully.
Then he put it in the mold with a heart. To see it can be loud or not, this also takes an hour.
In that duration, Kiki noticed a sign that the soap marks would harden.
"Ah seems to be working this time, her scent is also there!"kiki
The soap he produced finally hardened perfectly and the aroma was very alluring.Kiki smiled with satisfaction at the work of his art that had succeeded.
But he needs a few more hours to make sure the soap can actually harden perfectly.
Tonight, Kiki wants to celebrate her success in making soap by eating KFC, even if only alone. It doesn't matter to him. He opened a KFC package complete with warm white rice.
This KFC package contains crispy fried chicken, savory popcorn chicken, perfectly fried french fries, and a few slices of steady bread.
While biting the delicious fried chicken, Kiki felt very grateful. She thanked in her heart the lucky man who had helped her to taste KFC with the distinctive scent that she so longed for.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't ask her to eat together. Too bad," he murmured while enjoying his meal.
Kiki was satisfied. It was a moment that made his life so meaningful. In the modern era, life is often monotonous. One has to work hard to save and be able to eat well as he is enjoying right now.
Everything in the modern era requires money, including the food he eats today. However, it was rare for a worker like the Kiki-aged girl to be able to enjoy a dish like this every day. Most of them can only do so if they have excess funds in their pockets.
Although the work in his office is busy and sometimes has to be overtime, money is sometimes not enough.But here Kiki only needs to work in the fields and in return, he can enjoy whatever food he likes.
But thanks for the check in system, right.
"Life will remain the same, but it can become more meaningful if we know gratitude. I am so grateful to be able to live like this. Hem, the fried chicken is delicious," Kiki thought with a smile.
After eating, Kiki cleans herself and gets ready for bed.
The next morning, Kiki woke up early as usual. The summer was so hot that work on the fields began at 06:00 a.m. The villagers had already gathered to take the location given by the captain.
Just like Kiki, who immediately got up and prepared to go to the fields. In the homes of the residents, the daughters-in-law had woken up earlier than the others to prepare breakfast. Since the husband and the village chief will leave early, this breakfast will be brought to the fields.
Kiki doesn't have to cook her own breakfast. He simply took out a lunch box and filled in a few slices of steamed bread, pickles, and one boiled egg. He also brought a water bottle with him, filling it from a pot filled with sweet water that was inside his system drawer. If the water ran out, he could quietly fill it back into his bottle.
Kiki knew that Lin xuni would definitely look for an excuse to skip the water division, so he had to be ready.
Before leaving, he went to the room where he put the soap mold. Kiki tried to lift the mold and gave a slight knock. With a single tap, those beautiful and fragrant little soaps fell gently onto the table.
"Gee, this is so nice and pretty. Fang xionan was really good at making prints with images of leaves," Kiki said with a smile, inhaling the scent of chamomile that came out of his homemade soap.
Kiki laughed happily, her soap worked well. "Okay, let him be the first one to try this soap. This is how I say thank you."
After confirming everything, Kiki locked the door of the house and went to the gathering point with everyone.
"Kiki's here!" said Ling Jin who just arrived.
Kiki narrowed her eyes slightly. It had been so long since he felt close to Ling Jin. Today Ling Jin even took the initiative to greet her, and it was a bit strange.
Since there was no problem between them, Kiki approached and greeted him first. "Ling Jin, did you come alone?"
"Yes, I went straight here from home, didn't stop by the youth education team. Besides, Lin xuni is the cook on that team, so I don't need to take turns cooking," she said with a smile.
"Is this not troublesome for Lin xuni?"
"No, actually being a chef frees him from the production of oil and sugar. He considered it as an advantage to him, he could save his expenses later. Hahaha," Ling Jin said laughing.
Kiki felt Lin xuni might not think well if she wanted to become a chef in the Education Youth Team. Kiki did not understand why Lin xuni, who had a golden finger in cooking, wanted to do that. But Kiki also felt this was not her problem to worry about.
Not long after, the scorekeeper arrived with the captain, the secretary, and the village chief. They check the attendance to make sure everyone is present.
The job location remained the same, and Kiki was still hoeing the ground, but most likely, this job would also be stolen again by Fang xionan.
And that's true.
The village had a tractor, but some people still had to hoe manually. Fang xionan looked at the hoe in Kiki's hand and took it by force. The upshot...
(Congratulations, you've touched the lucky guy and got a packet of flour fried shrimp with chili sauce.)
Kiki was not angry with the man who gave her a gift of a packet of fried shrimp flour with this chili sauce. He turned his angry face into a smile and said, "Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll prepare it for you."
Kiki did not know for sure what food the man wanted.
"Can I? Sister-in-law only prepared grits that were added with sweet potatoes as breakfast. I don't think that's enough for my stomach" Fang xionan said.
"Hm, there are three steamed buns, a plate of pickles, a boiled egg and a wild kale stir-fry. If you like it..."
"OK," Fang xionan said, cutting off Kiki's conversation.
Kiki was impressed by the speed with which Fang xionan worked in the fields. With just a single hoe, he was able to make a huge hole in the ground.When the hoe fell, his muscles bulged out, making some peeping girls exclaim in the heart. However, Kiki was not one of them.
"Kiki, he's strong, right?" asked Ling Jin who arrived sometime.
"Lumayan, uh, why don't you work?" ask Kiki for wonder.
"There he is" Ling Jin said, pointing to a man in his thirties at the location where he was working.
"Who is he?" ask Kiki.
"The oldest child in Wang's house. Actually I feel uncomfortable" whispered Ling Jin.
Ling Jin was currently living in the Wang family home that was already allocated to him. The Wang family had a fairly large house, but it was already in a very bad condition and was on the verge of collapse. The reason this family could live in the village with their heads held high, was because aunt Wang gave birth to seven sons.
The oldest man was the one that Jing Lin had just pointed out earlier.
