Chapter 166 This is just the beginning

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Not only were the Gu family members worried, but all the villagers in Qingshan Village were also sighing in sorrow.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and this year's grain harvest will be reduced by at least 10%.

Little did they know that this was just the beginning.

After the heavy rain, the grain harvest was less than 10% and most of it was wasted.

It was almost time to cook dinner, but there was still no movement from his aunt. Gu Jin wrapped his washed, wet hair in a towel and left the room again to go to the kitchen.

She took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour from the space.

The ingredients in the kitchen included the wild vegetables she dug up from the mountain yesterday, the pickled wild boar meat she took out from the cellar, as well as potatoes, cucumbers, and beans. These were all vegetables that were about to mature, and no one knew from whose house the aunt got them.

In the village, if someone's dish is cooked first or someone is greedy for something, they will exchange it for something else. Seeing these things, Gu Jin could guess that his aunt exchanged them for something from her home.

Gu Jin first put the rice into the pot and simmered it, then lit the fire on the stove.

She then went to wash the wild vegetables, beans and potatoes.

After washing the wild vegetables, I peeled a few cloves of garlic, flattened them and chopped them, preparing to make garlic-mashed wild vegetables. I also cut two small red peppers.

Another unused stove was lit up, and lard was put into the pot. After the oil was heated, chopped garlic and chili were added.

Soon the smell of fried chili and garlic spread.

Gu Jin added another handful of firewood into the stove, then poured the washed wild vegetables into the pot and began to stir-fry the wild vegetables over high heat.

When it’s almost done, pour in an appropriate amount of salt and the garlic and wild vegetables are ready to be served.

After serving the dishes and cleaning the pot, Gu Jin prepared the ingredients for the next dish.

Wild boar meat, potatoes, beans, sugar, onions, ginger and garlic.

After bringing all the ingredients to the stove, she squatted down and added a handful of firewood into the stove. The originally weak fire became stronger after adding this handful of firewood.

When the pan is hot, add oil to it and put sugar in before the oil boils.

After the sugar melts and changes color, pour the chopped wild boar meat into it, stir-fry continuously until it changes color, then throw in the garlic and ginger.

When the aroma of meat spreads, pour in an appropriate amount of soy sauce to color it. When the heat is almost right, pour in enough water to cover the meat in the pot.

Bending over to take a look at the fire in the stove, Gu Jin added a handful of firewood, and the fire grew bigger again.

Cover the pot, wait for the water in the pot to boil, then throw the potatoes, beans, and onion segments into the pot, stir-fry evenly, and cover the pot again.

At this time, the tempting aroma of meat has already spread, but it is not cooked yet.

Next, wait for the sauce to thicken over high heat, add salt and other necessary seasonings and serve.

Thinking about what the kid had eaten in the past two days, Gu Jin took out the stewed potatoes and meat and put it in a bowl, preparing to make soup.

Just make a refreshing and delicious soup, tomato egg drop soup.

This is very simple to do.

The tomatoes were taken out from the space, the eggs were ready, as were the cucumbers and onions. Simple ingredients can also be used to make a very nutritious soup.

When the tomato egg drop soup was ready, Gu Jin did not serve it out.

She closed the lid of the tomato egg drop soup and looked at the rice in the other stove. The rice had been cooked long ago, and each grain of rice was crystal clear and plump, looking very delicious.

She turned and left the kitchen to call the family to come for dinner.

…

When the family sat at the dinner table, Gu Jin could see that his grandfather, uncle, and aunt all looked unhappy.
