"Dinner's ready, Principal Zhong, Mr. Zhuge."
Gu Yunyang spent about an hour preparing a meal.
He ladled out the rice, called out to the back, and beckoned Principal Zhong and Zhuge Qiao to come out and eat.
Principal Zhong and Zhuge Qiao were looking at the biogas digester from behind, but they couldn't really see anything.
It's definitely impossible to open the biogas digester to look inside; a biogas leak would be very dangerous.
From the outside, there's not much to see.
It was really just out of curiosity, and to kill some time.
When the two arrived, Gu Yunyang brought a basin of water, and the group washed their hands outside.
Gu Yunyang then splashed the water onto the vegetable patch in the yard.
We must not waste it.
Although there is no shortage of water in Hongqi Brigade, it is still better to conserve some.
When Principal Zhong entered the room, he frowned upon seeing the four dishes and soup on the table: "There's no need to make so many dishes. We're not people who can't endure hardship. We don't usually eat this well at home."
Zhuge Qiao was even more astonished: "Stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, rabbit with double peppers, stir-fried edamame with cured beef, carrot and pork rib soup, and a stir-fried bok choy, and you even used sausage in the rice. Are you trying to ruin your life?"
Gu Yunyang said with a grin, "Actually, it's alright. The teacher's here, isn't that it?"
Besides, this cured beef was from a wild buffalo that our brigade hunted last time. I bought a lot of meat, but we couldn't finish it, so we smoked it.
The rabbits and pheasants were caught by my two black dogs hunting in the mountains.
These ribs were bought at the meat processing plant today; they didn't cost much.
Gu Yunyang hasn't done anything about getting the boat into the water yet.
That's more time-consuming and laborious, and you also need to use flour to clean it.
Otherwise, it would smell terrible.
Moreover, Gu Yunyang planned to slowly braise the offal, which would take a long time to allow it to absorb the flavors.
"Let's begin, teacher. Don't be shy, these are all gifts from your students."
Who is so wealthy that they can eat four dishes and a soup in one meal, all of which are meat dishes?
There was still rice cooking in the pot, along with sausage.
All three of them ate with great relish, their mouths glistening with oil.
Gu Yunyang was afraid they wouldn't want to eat it, so he scooped all the rice out of the pot and put it on the table.
After finishing one bowl, they would ask for another.
"That's enough, that's enough. I can't eat anymore."
Principal Zhong touched his stomach, which was already a little bloated; he really couldn't eat anymore.
After finishing our meal, we strolled around the yard and sat under the eaves to enjoy the mountain breeze.
That's when I started to digest some of it.
Gu Yunyang took the opportunity to prepare some chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and dried sweet potatoes for them.
In addition, each person was given two dried rabbits, two dried chickens, and two pieces of cured beef.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yunyang packed ten pounds of rice, ten pounds of flour, and ten pounds of millet for Principal Zhong.
Principal Zhong looked at the large basket and said with some helplessness, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "It's not much. Didn't you ask me to get you some fine grains? I'll take this back with me today, and I'll bring it to you next time I go to the commune."
Thirty pounds is quite a lot.
There are still more than 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes left.
I also took ten pounds of dried sweet potatoes.
If it weren't for the fact that people in this era all worked in the fields, Principal Zhong, although an intellectual, would also frequently work in the fields.
I can still carry that weight of several tens of kilograms.
Zhuge Qiao declined a few times, but Gu Yunyang insisted, so he took out his money and paid the market price.
Gu Yunyang accepted it as well.
His relationship with Zhuge Qiao hadn't reached that point yet.
Moreover, food is even more precious at this time.
Principal Zhong also gave money.
