Gao Shujing, still worried, instructed, "If Duofu ever hears anyone say bad things about your aunt, don't argue with them. Write it down and tell your uncle, and your uncle will go find them."

The little ones were very protective of Yu Rujia. In the past, when Wan Qiuju came to cause trouble, little Duofu would raise his fist and hit her.

If Yu Rujia hadn't reacted quickly enough and pulled him away in time, he would have received a hard kick from Wan Qiuju.

Now that Duofu and the others go out with Yu Rujia or Gao Guojing, they don't have to worry about others hurting them.

However, as the children grow older, they will eventually have to go out and play on their own, and that's when you need to be careful. Not all adults have the quality of not hitting their children unnecessarily.

Duofu nodded seriously: "Yes, I've got it."

Yu Rujia: "Alright, it's all in the past now. Holding onto those unhappy things will affect your mood. Let's eat, or there won't be any meat left."

At the table, Gao Guojing and Duolu were eating braised meat for the first time, and they didn't stand on ceremony. The uncle and nephew were competing to grab some.

Even little Duoxi would occasionally sneak a spoonful of meat when no one was looking. Luckily, the braised meat was stewed until it was very tender, so Duoxi, who didn't have many teeth, could eat it.

The braised meat flavor was too strong, so it wasn't suitable for Duo Xi to eat. Yu Rujia moved the dishes that the little guy could reach further away, which earned him a grumbling.

Duo Xi: "Eat, eat, meat."

Gao Shujing scooped a spoonful of meat from the soup into his bowl: "Okay, we love eating meat."

Duoxi is young and has limited experience. Once he had eaten meat, he stopped asking for braised meat. The little guy was thus persuaded.

Duoshou: "When my aunt bought meat, those people said it didn't taste good and told her not to buy it, but I think it tastes great! I want to eat it every day."

Gao Guojing: "That's because those people are ignorant and their cooking skills are not good enough to make meat as delicious as ours, so they say the meat is not tasty and they don't like it."

"In my opinion, we should definitely buy more of this delicious food. We cooked half of it today, and the rest will be eaten in less than two days."

Today we braised over 30 jin of offal. Half of it will be distributed to the cowshed, and half of the remaining half will be brought up tonight. Judging from the situation, there will definitely be no leftovers, and the remaining cooked food will be eaten tomorrow.

So, for a family like theirs, seventy-two catties of offal was not too much; they even wanted to bring back more.

Yu Rujia: "I don't plan to braise the rest; I'll use them for hot pot on New Year's Eve."

Having just tasted the delicious braised meat, Gao Guojing couldn't help but cry out in despair: "Ah, does that mean I can only eat this delicious braised meat for tonight and tomorrow?"

This devastating news made Duolu, who had been eating voraciously, pause for a moment: "Can't we eat this meat every day?"

Gao Shujing: "Next time I go to town, if I come across any, I'll bring some back and braise them then."

The only place in town with sewage was the slaughterhouse. The people there had no shortage of oil and were more particular about their food, so they didn't have the same aversion to sewage as people in the countryside.

In addition, there are more wealthy families in the town, and offal, which does not require tickets, is very popular in the town; if you go late, it will be sold out.

The older ones were able to control their eating speed, but the younger ones wanted to stuff the braised meat directly into their mouths so they wouldn't have any empty space.

As a result, seven or eight pounds of braised meat were devoured by the three adults and four children, and Gao Guojing even washed the plates with his rice.

Yu Rujia: "Braising meat doesn't necessarily require offal. You can braise anything, such as the scraps of chicken, duck, and goose. Braised duck feet and chicken feet are so delicious that you can't stop eating them. Fourth Brother can bring some back from town if he comes across them."

"We don't need the offal from the game we hunt in the mountains. These wild animals eat all sorts of things in the mountains, and there are a lot of toxins in the offal. When we eat wild animals, we should just eat the meat and leave the offal out."

Gao Guojing patted his belly and looked at the duck and chicken feet, which were all bones, with anticipation, saying, "I really want to eat them."

After cleaning up in the evening, Gao Shujing and Gao Guojing took more than ten kilograms of braised meat, more than ten kilograms of bones, and more than thirty kilograms of sweet potato starch to the cowshed.

The irresistible aroma of the braised meat captivated the taste buds of the Xia family.

Xia Jingxing and Gao Guojing, who both loved to have fun, were very close. Seeing Gao Guojing stuffing meat into his mouth so hard that he couldn't even speak, Xia Jingxing said smugly, "Isn't this braised meat delicious?"

With something stuffed in his mouth, Xia Jingxing mumbled, "Delicious."

Gao Guojing raised his chin, looking as if he had received a compliment: "I made this braised meat."

Xia Jingxing paused in his act of stuffing meat into his mouth, looking at him with a hint of disbelief: "Why don't I believe you?"

Gao Guojing retorted, "Ever since the brigade distributed the meat, I've been the one who brought it home, cleaned it all by myself, and then braised it in a pot. I even started the fire myself. I did everything by myself from start to finish."

What he didn't say was that he did the work by himself, but Yu Rujia was the one who provided the ingredients. She even stood by and gave him pointers for a long time while he was making the braised dishes.

Hearing this, Xia Jingfan, who had been eating the whole time, asked, "When did Guojing develop such good cooking skills?"

Gao Guojing held his head high: "This kind of thing is easy to do. Even Duofu and the others praised me for doing it well and said they wanted me to do more."

Xia Jingxing took a moment to say, "We can make more."

Gao Guojing empathized, saying, "I also want to make more, but unfortunately these things aren't so easy to buy."

Thanks to the private care of Gao Shujing and Yu Rujia, the Xia family's food was no worse than that of Captain Huang's family, and they even gained some weight after coming to Shangfen Brigade.

Aside from work, Xia Jingxing, who was quite comfortable with his time off, still retained the energy of a young man: "Can other things be braised? Or should I go up the mountain and hunt some game for you to bring back?"

It's not that they don't want to do it, but the braising spices are too strong, and it would take at least several hours. If they dared to braise meat here in the cowshed, they would definitely be discovered. They can only hope that Gao Guojing can help them.

Several elders who were talking to Gao Shujing were keeping a close eye on the commotion. Upon hearing this, Xia Tai'an immediately said, "Jingxing, don't cause trouble."

Xia Jingxing lowered his ears: "I understand." It was indeed not a good time for the Xia family to cause trouble right now, so he could only regretfully give up the idea of ​​going hunting in the mountains.

Gao Shujing's eyes swept over a plate of raw meat on another table, mostly scraps, and he asked, "Is this meat what the team distributed?"

Xia Taiping: "Well, although they are just scraps, the team distributed them to us according to our work points, which is already very good."

The Xia family's work points were halved. Since there were many of them working, the scraps they received added up to several pounds, and the pure meat after removing the bones was only a little over a pound. At least they could eat meat openly now.
