Chapter 249 We'll sit next to each other then.
After her mind went blank for a while, she remembered that there was no lucky draw today!
So she leaned sideways, propped her chin on her hand, and clicked on the New Year's lucky draw wheel, spending a thousand points.
The turntable turns and stops, hey! Did you get a snowy cow?
Seeing the cows suddenly appearing in the space and eating grass, she looked a little confused.
It turns out that this lottery can win living things?
But she didn’t see any live poultry for sale on the exchange mall!
Draw again and get a bonus chance to win a prize!
Gu Xiaoxi opened his mouth into an o shape. How could he do this?
Then she just smoked, doesn't that mean she didn't smoke?
So she drew again.
Then, embarrassingly, there was another chance to win a prize draw!
So, she now has two chances left to win the lottery?
With curiosity in her heart, she drew it again.
When she saw what she had won, the corners of her lips suddenly lifted up and she couldn't help but smile.
She actually won a fully automated grain processing plant!
This is really like someone giving you a pillow whenever you fall asleep!
Looks like she doesn't have to trouble Lu Jiansen anymore!
The last chance to draw a lottery has not been used yet, but she can't wait to look at the space.
The fully automated grain processing plant is located right next to the rice field. It doesn’t occupy a very large area and looks like a warehouse from the outside, but it’s full of high-tech equipment inside, with walls full of screens and buttons.
As soon as the previously harvested wheat was put into the grain processing plant, the factory door was closed.
Then, she saw a display screen on the door, showing various finished product options: refined flour, high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, flour for bread, flour for dumplings...
This kind of detailed option left Gu Xiaoxi stunned for a while.
Then she ordered every option. She wanted to see what the differences were among the flours.
The wheat was still being processed, so Gu Xiaoxi used his last chance to enter the lottery.
Well, the thing I won this time is amazing, it turned out to be an automatic gas pump.
Seeing this thing appear in the space, she immediately slipped into the space.
The gas pump was automatically placed where she parked her SUV and sports car. It was not big and did not take up much space.
After trying to operate it, she realized that this automatic gas station can indeed refuel, but points will be deducted every time you refuel, which is equivalent to paying for gas.
OK! It's not free, but it's pretty convenient.
After the flour at the grain processing plant was processed, she took a bag of all-purpose flour and a bag of dumpling flour out for her mother.
"Mom, we're having New Year's Eve dinner in the army tomorrow. I've already prepared some glutinous rice balls. How about we make more today and tomorrow?"
Jiang Xiuqing, who was busy in the kitchen, took a look and nodded, "Okay. Southerners eat glutinous rice balls during the New Year, and northerners like to eat dumplings. How many people are there in Jiansen's group? Let's try to get two per person?"
Gu Xiaoxi scratched her head, "It seems like more than 3,000 people! I don't know exactly how many people are here for the New Year. Anyway, glutinous rice balls are easy to make and don't use a lot of ingredients."
"Then I'll make the dumpling filling first, and let your father and your grandfather make the dumplings, and you can make more glutinous rice balls. We'll prepare New Year's dishes tomorrow, otherwise it will be too late." Jiang Xiuqing made arrangements in an orderly manner.
It’s cold now, so the dumplings will freeze overnight and you don’t have to worry about them going bad.
"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi immediately rolled up his sleeves and started making glutinous rice balls.
However, her glutinous rice balls were filled with peanut and sesame fillings, just like before.
A little after five o'clock, Gu Dachuan and Ding Lanyi also came over.
Seeing that people at home were making dumplings, they quickly washed their hands and joined in.
Just when the family was busy, Li Guifen came over carrying a bucket.
"Little brook girl!"
Gu Xiaoxi immediately put down what he was holding and walked out, "Sister-in-law, what good things have you brought again?"
Li Guifen smiled and winked at her. "Look, my brothers from my mother's side sent some crabs over. They're for you. Are you making dumplings?"
Gu Xiaoxi glanced into the bucket and explained with a smile, "We are going to the army to celebrate the New Year tomorrow night. My mother asked us to make some glutinous rice balls and dumplings and bring them to the army. These are easy to share, and we must let all the soldiers in our regiment have one or two. It is a token of our family's love."
Li Guifen smiled and nodded, "That's good! It's just that the flour is wasted. In fact, the troops also make dumplings on New Year's Eve. Oh, and steamed buns. We will try our best to make sure everyone is well fed on this day."
"By the way, there will be cultural performances this year, and they will be very grand."
"Then there's no restriction on where we can sit, right? We can sit next to each other then?" Gu Xiaoxi invited again.
Li Guifen smiled and nodded, "I would like to sit with you! I will call you tomorrow night and we will go together."
"Okay! Call me when the time comes."
After the two of them had agreed, Gu Xiaoxi took out ten large crabs and a small bag of scallops from the bucket and returned the bucket to Sister Guifen.
Ding Lanyi, who was making dumplings, took a look and felt a little envious.
Gu Xiaoxi really gets along well with the military wives in the family compound!
"Xiaoxi, this crab is really big! What should we do?" Jiang Xiuqing was very surprised when she saw the crab her daughter brought back.
Because these seafood products are difficult to obtain without some connections.
She had never eaten such a big crab before!
"How about steaming a few and saving a few to make crab roe buns?" Gu Xiaoxi quickly made the arrangements.
The steamed crab has its original flavor and she likes it very much.
But she also loves crab roe buns!
"Okay then! Let's eat tomorrow." Jiang Xiuqing felt that they had celebrated too much this year.
Gu Xiaoxi washed her hands again and went back to making glutinous rice balls.
Gu Dachuan took the opportunity to ask, "Sister, what are we going to eat tonight? Dumplings?"
"If you want to eat dumplings, that's fine. I'll let mom cook them for you later." Gu Xiaoxi said, looking at his grandfather.
"Grandpa, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "I'll just have the purple rice for dinner. I'll ask your mom to make some mapo tofu in the evening."
"Then I'll make it for you! You can also taste my cooking skills!" Gu Xiaoxi immediately raised his hand to grab the job.
"Okay, let's make Mapo Tofu in the creek tonight." Grandpa Jiang agreed with a smile.
When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, he quickened his hands' movements, and in a short while, he had made all the dough in front of him into glutinous rice balls.
The speed of his hands was so fast that even Gu Dachuan was a little confused!
Could it be that his sister was leisurely making glutinous rice balls there just to kill time?
Gu Xiaoxi put away the things, put on a space seal sticker, and then went to the kitchen to cook for his grandfather.
Purple rice? Cook a pot of it.
Mapo tofu is even easier to make and she can do it in no time.
Grandpa Zheng gave her a lot of bean sprouts, so she cut some fried tofu into cubes and stir-fried the bean sprouts.
Jiang Xiuqing turned around and saw that her daughter had only cooked two dishes. She ignored her and continued to cook dumplings.
After the meal was ready, Gu Xiaoxi took out a plate of sliced roast duck from the space, then brought out the dishes and served rice to his grandfather.
