Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

After about half an hour, Gu Siwei asked Hu Yanqiu.

Hu Yanqiu said: "Burn some of it as you like. Ask the old men what they want to eat."

"They should stay back now. The most important thing in the family now is you. What you want to eat is what everyone wants to eat." Gu Siwei looked at his wife with a smile and said.

Hu Yanqiu was very happy after hearing this, but he said: "It seems like I am very important. To be honest, is it because of the names of these people in my belly?"

As he spoke, he gently raised the hand on his belly and rubbed it twice.

Gu Siwei joked: "You have seen this, you are really smart as ice and snow."

"As long as you can talk, I can eat whatever I want. I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat," Hu Yanqiu said.

Gu Siwei listened and thought about it for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "Let's do this. I'm going to soak some mountain mushrooms. I'll kill a chicken today and make a pheasant to stew the mountain mushrooms. Then I'll cut some of the bacon at home and stir-fry some green garlic. Bacon and green garlic, what else should I make? Or shredded green peppers and potatoes? Well, this seems a bit short, then let’s make another meatball, not a meatball, but a lion’s head, yes, make a lion’s head..." .

Gu Siwei counted on his fingers, making Hu Yanping on the side swallow his saliva.

But while Gu Siwei was talking, he noticed that Hu Yanqiu's face was a little bad, so he asked nervously: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I heard that the lion's head is a little nauseating. If you want to eat it, you can do it," Hu Yanqiu said.

He didn't know what was going on, but Hu Yanqiu felt sick to his stomach when he heard such a big oily thing. A stream of sour gas kept rising up, as if it was about to come out of his throat.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "Eat whatever you want, I don't want this."

"You go ask the old men again!"

Hu Yanqiu was not very satisfied with several of the dishes Gu Siwei listed, but she didn't want to say it because she saw that her husband was smiling and in high spirits. She said that these were not delicious, and she was afraid that defeated his interest.

"Asking them for what?"

Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Gu Siwei is very confident in his own cooking skills and believes that what he makes will be popular.

At this time, Li Fanghai just walked in. The old man came to get tea. After drinking all his own tea, he went to Gu Siwei's side to drink some.

Of course it's not good tea, it's tea that was moved here from the previous village, but no one knew it was moved by Gu Siwei. The few old tea trees that were moved were placed by Gu Siwei on the hillside of the storage cave, making them more hidden.

It wasn't that Gu Siwei wanted to hide it, but that he poured water on it and dried the tea tree to a hundred years old. Others were surprised when they saw it. If it was placed in an inconspicuous place, they would naturally follow Gu Siwei's fiddle.

"What are you talking about?"

The old man was minding his own business and poured one-third of the tea leaves in Gu Siwei's iron jar into his own iron jar. Then he pretended that nothing happened and carried the jar behind him. He came to the door of the room and asked Gu Siwei and others. One sentence.

"What's for lunch? My brother said..." Sicui happily told Gu Siwei what he was going to cook for lunch today.

Li Fanghai said: "Why bother with so much trouble? What kind of stir-fried snacks are there on such a cold day? It's already cold when you put it on the table. Let's talk about it. We like to eat the food cooked by Yan Qiu. Why don't you follow Yan Qiu? Learn how to make a big pot of food, it’s very simple..."

When Gu Siwei heard this, he almost punched Old Man Li in the face: "I learned how to cook seriously from online chefs. You asked me to cook big pot dishes. Do you know that Hu Yanqiu followed me?" Did you just learn the basics?

"I also think big pot dishes are better."

When Hu Yanqiu saw that Li Fanghai had expressed his thoughts, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Well!

Gu Siwei almost choked to death at his wife's words.

"Are you sure you want to eat a big pot of food?" Gu Siwei asked.

Li Fanghai said: "Stop making those big pot dishes that you are too particular about. Make it simple. Just put the fat meat in the pot and stir out the oil, then add garlic and other things and stir-fry, plus the Niubi Laotao brought it." Sauce, add Chinese cabbage next. If it has big meat, of course it’s best. If not, add more pork belly. If there is tofu, add some tofu and some vermicelli..."

Li Fanghai sipped his saliva as he spoke.

"What's delicious here?" Gu Siwei looked at Li Fanghai and said.

"This is the right time to eat this. Who wants to eat your stir-fry?" Li Fanghai said.

Gu Siwei thought for a while and said: "That's okay! Huh? Old man Tao also brought sauce. What kind of sauce? Did you make it yourself? When did you bring it? I don't think I saw it last time?"

Li Fanghai said: "Of course you haven't seen me last time. The sauce wasn't ready when you left. We can honestly say that Lao Niubi is not a very good person, but he really has a way of handling these things. Wait for you to eat them. You know his sauce, it’s so fragrant.”

Speaking, Li Fanghai gave a thumbs up.

This news is not new to Gu Siwei, because the old guy Tao Yisheng has already shown his ability in pickling vegetables. How unimaginable is it if he can pickle sauce?

"What was he so busy with in the Taoist temple before? I guess if Sanqing knew that they had such a disciple, the coffin board wouldn't be able to hold it down." Gu Siwei composed another line about Tao Yisheng.

"Sanqing, I haven't seen any benefits from worshiping for so long. If these guys are effective, how will the little devils enter China?" Li Fanghai said with a bit of disdain.

As a materialist warrior, Li Fanghai didn't believe in these gods and ghosts at all, so when he heard about Sanqing, he naturally became confrontational.

Gu Siwei didn't talk to him and asked, "How's the sleigh going?"

"How can it be so fast!" Li Fanghai said, but after a pause he added: "Do the sled slowly, and we will move the hanger to the edge of the cliff later."

Gu Siwei looked at the old man with a questioning look on his face.

Li Fanghai said: "You are stupid. The girl Yanqiu is like this. She can't climb a soft ladder. We are going to use a hanging basket to hang her down and wait to hang her up when we come back. How good is this!"

“Take the trouble”

When Gu Siwei heard that a group of old men had thought of knowledge points that he had not thought of, he raised his hand towards him.

"Not so delicate," Hu Yanqiu said.

She feels that her body is quite good now. Except for the inability to smell some smells, she is no different from usual at other times. She must be able to go up and down the rope ladder without any problem.

Li Fanghai said: "It's better to overthink this matter than to let it go wrong. It's better to be careful. And this is your first child. If you go by Lao Tao, there will be three. Can't you be more careful?"

"Yes Yes!"

Gu Siwei nodded repeatedly. He had never experienced this in his two lifetimes. Now that he heard what Li Fanghai said, he felt it was reasonable.

"Okay, I'm going to work." After Li Fanghai finished speaking, he carefully hid the tea jar and walked out of the house.

Gu Siwei stayed for a while and then began to prepare lunch.

Gu Siwei was responsible for doing the work, and Sicui naturally set the fire.

The rice is simmered. For Gu Siwei, the big pot dish couldn't be simpler, with a lot of oil and salt, and the main focus is a heavy dish.

When the pot is hot, add lard and stir out the oil in the lard. There is a bit too much oil. Gu Siwei skims out half of the oil and puts it into an oil jar. Add the onions, ginger and garlic to the remaining half to bring out the aroma. Next is the sauce that Li Fanghai mentioned. A spoonful of sauce goes down, and when the spoon is flicked a little, a strong fragrance of sauce hits the face.

Now Gu Siwei knew why Li Fanghai kept thinking about it. Gu Siwei had tasted good sauce here, a serious handmade sauce. The master who made the sauce was a master who specialized in making sauce. He used to come from a sauce factory.

Now this spoonful of sauce tastes almost as good as the sauce he had last time. This is enough to show that Old Tao's skill in making sauce is enough.

"This old man...".

"I don't know which kind of Sanqing I worshiped, but all my energy was spent on eating and drinking."

Sicui, who was making a fire in the back, didn't wait for her brother to finish, so she imitated Gu Siwei's tone and said the following words.

"Haha, you girl!" Gu Siwei shook his head and smiled.

Sicui was cheerful. The fire in the furnace reflected on the girl's face, making her look rosy.

"Girl, study hard. When this period passes, it will be time for you to go to college." Gu Siwei said suddenly while looking at Sicui.

Sicui hummed: "My brother asked me to go to college, so I will go to college."

"I'm not asking you to go, I just miss you... No, I hope you want to go to college. What do you want to do if you don't go to college? After college, go out and see, go to other parts of the world, and start. Eye-opening." Gu Siwei began to preach again.

He said it lazily when he met others, but he still told the girl to study hard.

"Let me tell you, I don't want to leave here. I want to be with my brother and sister-in-law forever. When my nephew is born, I will take care of him. When my nephew grows up, I will take care of my grandnephew...".

Sicui smiled while talking, and Gu Siwei looked at the expression on his sister's face. He felt that this girl seemed to be telling the truth.

Gu Siwei didn't know that Sicui couldn't be more satisfied with her current life. She really didn't want to go anywhere, she just wanted to stay with her brother and sister-in-law, and live a happy life like this.

Gu Siwei thought about enlightening her, but then she thought that the girl was still young, so it was not strange to have such strange thoughts. When she was a child, she still thought about driving donkey carts in her life, so when she grew up, she didn't drive donkey carts.

"You'll know when you grow up."

After Gu Siwei said this, he put the bacon in, and then began to add Chinese cabbage to the pot. Two whole Chinese cabbages went down, filling the big pot.

Just snap the lid on the pot and it will start to heat immediately.

As soon as the cabbage stopped boiling, he opened the lid of the pot and found that the vegetables in the pot only reached half of the mouth of the pot. At this time, Gu Siwei directly threw the vermicelli on the vegetables, poured soy sauce on it, and continued to cover the pot and simmer.

As soon as the fans are ready, the whole pot of stew is ready. Add a little MSG, stir and stir, and the stew with the strong aroma of sauce instantly brings out the glutton in Gu Siwei's stomach.
