Gu Yunyang just finished serving the cured meat and then stir-fried a vegetable.
Nowadays, people don't have much oil in their stomachs, but after frying cured meat, a lot of oil comes out.
It's a good time to stir-fry some vegetables, and they can also get a little oil on them, which will make the vegetables taste even better.
In later generations, this would make vegetables greasy, which many people might not like.
But people nowadays don't have so many rules.
Because my stomach is dry, I have to eat two extra bowls of rice every day.
Gu Hanping walked in and saw that Gu Yunyang had already skillfully cooked almost all the dishes.
There were seven or eight dishes, mostly meat dishes.
I stir-fried both meat and vegetables, and the vegetables were coated with oil, making them look very appealing.
In her heart, her guilt and heartache for Gu Yunyang intensified.
Gu Hansheng and Ning An are simply unfit to be parents.
"It's nothing. Secretary Hao just asked me about the sugar factory issue with Deputy Secretary Zhou and his team. I told him based on your analysis."
Gu Yunyang nodded and skillfully prepared the dishes: "Alright, you can eat now. Today's lunch is rice, all you can eat. I cooked two steamers."
A steamer is a container used for cooking rice.
People in this era are used to cooking rice until it's half-cooked in the morning and then taking it out.
This is called raw rice.
The remaining portion, after being cooked, became the porridge we ate for breakfast.
Then at noon, steam the previously cooked uncooked rice in a steamer. This method will make the rice feel more filling.
People in those days didn't have enough food to eat, and each person ate at least three or four bowls of rice.
If we don't do this, our family won't have enough to eat.
This is also to reduce the energy consumption of each meal.
However, rice cooked this way is softer, with each grain distinct, and tastes quite good.
"Captain, please bring me some dishes. I'll get the rice. Let's eat at the stone table outside today."
Gu Yunyang's family hasn't set up a table yet, so it's impossible to put so many dishes on it.
Fortunately, when he built the house, he had someone build a stone table in the yard. On it was a stone that Gu Yunyang found on the mountain and polished into a stone slab using tools from the base space.
It's very smooth, perfect for holding these dishes.
Soon, Hao Jianshe and the others arrived.
Although they had smelled the aroma beforehand, everyone, including Hao Jianshe, was still surprised when they actually saw the sumptuous lunch.
Hao Wenhua revealed a strange expression.
He thought that eating in the countryside wouldn't be anything special.
As a result, he was so hungry he was practically drooling.
Gu Yunyang greeted them with a smile, "Come on over, everyone. The rice wine is sweet potato liquor from the brigade leader's family. There's not much, so I'll start with a penalty cup. I really didn't do my job well today, and I'll definitely think more and learn more in the future."
Hao Jianshe nodded, his attitude was quite good.
This is because of what he said earlier, that the sugar workshop did not notify him or invite him.
This matter was originally over, but Gu Yunyang brought it up again without specifying which matter it was.
Gu Yunyang's approach is commendable.
With good ingredients and Gu Yunyang's excellent cooking skills, this meal was of a high standard.
Hao Wenhua almost bit off his tongue.
Fan Zhijian hadn't said anything before this, and was actually still observing.
At this moment, I saw the firewood at one end of the yard, which looked like the kind I had asked to move over earlier.
Fan Zhijian asked curiously, "What does Secretary Gu plan to do with that firewood? It doesn't seem like he intends to burn it as firewood."
Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "It would be a waste to burn this as firewood. The quality of this firewood is quite good. Although some of it is rotten, it would be a great loss to burn it directly. I have seen the artificial cultivation of wood ear and shiitake mushrooms in the capital's Grand Library. I plan to try it out when I have some free time in a couple of days."
"ah?"
Gu Yunyang's answer was completely unexpected by Fan Zhijian.
