Chapter 248 Savior plus one】
The two chess players over there had just finished a game and came over when they smelled the food.
"What's fried? It smells so good."
Mr. Gu didn't eat much at night, and now he was a little hungry after smelling the food in the air. Seeing his wife actually eating seriously, he was overjoyed. He shouted in surprise and ran over to hold his wife's hand happily, with a happy smile on his face.
"Oh my God, Jingshu, you are fine after eating so much, haha, great!"
The next moment he was happy, he was ruthlessly pushed away by his wife and pushed to the side.
"Don't block me from eating, or you'll shout from the side and I won't be able to pick up the food."
After saying that, she moved a little, blocked the food, and faced him with her butt, and continued to eat seriously.
Wu Qiuyan smiled kindly: "Old Huo, don't be so protective of the food, there is plenty, we are not in a hurry."
Old Man Gu was not angry, but very happy. Seeing her eating so happily, his stomach was rumbling, so he simply took a bowl and filled it with porridge and eagerly went over.
For the sake of their sisterhood, Old Lady Huo made room for him so that he could also taste the taste of summer.
When Grandpa Gu saw the dish on the plate, he shouted in surprise: "What is this?"
Grandpa Xia stood up and puffed out his chest proudly: "This is the dish that Yi'an grew that I told you about. It's fried cucumber. Come and try it. It's cucumber in the middle of winter. Today is your first serving. You're in for a treat."
"You really grew cucumbers. I thought you were kidding me, but it turns out you were serious. Sorry, sorry!"
Grandpa Gu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of food with great anticipation.
"Hmm! Delicious! Full of cucumber flavor, refreshing and delicious. I haven't had this for a long time. My brother and sister-in-law's cooking skills have improved a lot! Hey, you are really proud of yourself. You can tell the quality of the food just by eating it. Our Yi'an is a smart child, amazing!"
Grandpa Gu kept praising while eating. The food in his mouth was really delicious. As he was talking, he could not hear any sound and only saw the back of his head, buried in the food.
Wu Qiuyan and his wife were proud and happy to see their old friend eating so happily.
"Old Huo, don't eat anymore. It's enough. There is no rush for this meal. There will be more later. Health is more important." Wu Qiuyan saw that her sister had finished a bowl of porridge and wanted to get a second bowl of porridge. She quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her from getting another bowl.
After all, Mrs. Huo hadn't had a good meal for a long time, and her stomach couldn't handle a lot of food. For the sake of her stomach, under Wu Qiuyan's supervision, she had to give up and put down her hand that was scooping rice with regret.
Seeing that there was still a lot of food in the dish, she picked up the chopsticks and looked at the dish: "Can I eat some more food?"
"Okay, you can eat some food." Wu Qiuyan nodded in agreement. She had eaten the food and knew that this food was indeed comfortable to eat. It was the most delicious food she had ever eaten, so she didn't force her to eat. But the same sentence still applies, health is important, "but don't eat too much, stop if your stomach is uncomfortable."
"Yes, my sister-in-law is right, you listen to her." Grandpa Gu agreed while eating.
"Yeah, my stomach feels good now, not uncomfortable at all. Don't worry about me, let me eat some more."
Huo Jingshu stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth. She could feel that since she ate the tomato, her stomach was warm, and the slight pain she had before disappeared. She felt very comfortable.
However, after eating a few bites, she stopped and ate gradually.
In the end, Mr. Gu ate all the remaining food by himself, poured the remaining soup into the bowl and mixed it with the porridge, and ate another bowl.
"I enjoyed the meal very much this time."
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, Grandpa Gu diligently collected the dishes and chopsticks that his wife had left there and put them in the pot to wash. His hands did not stop. He turned his head and looked at the people next to him with a smile and shouted anxiously:
"Old Xia, sister-in-law, don't leave yet. Sit outside for a while. I want to talk to you about this dish. I am so happy to see Jingshu can eat this dish. You are our hope and our savior now! You must wait for me!"
Grandpa Xia rubbed the goose bumps on his hands.
"Okay, you're so nauseating. Wash your dishes. We still need to sit here for a while. You're not trying to chase us away. Just come out after you're done. We're outside. We won't leave unless you chase us away!"
"Okay, okay, you're worthy of being my good brother." Old Master Gu was relieved. "Jingshu, you entertain us first."
"I know. You wash first and come out quickly."
Huo Jingshu smiled and pulled her sister, calling Old Master Xia to the main hall, and poured a pot of good tea.
After drinking a few sips of tea and chatting for a few words, Old Master Gu ran over in a hurry, wiping the water off his hands as he ran.
"I'm coming."
Old Master Xia put down the teacup in his hand, laughed and joked: "Old Gu, you're in a hurry, running here with your butt sticking out."
"It's not because I'm afraid of wasting your time. After all, it's a good day for your family, and I'm afraid you'll be busy." Old Master Gu found a seat closer to his old friend and sat down. He didn't beat around the bush. He was very anxious now and went straight to the point:
"I just want to ask if you still have the dishes? If so, how much do you have? Can you talk to Yi'an about ordering dishes for us evenly every day? No, can you take me to see it? I'll go to Yi'an in person to talk about this matter, and..."
Old Master Xia stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing. So many questions were thrown out at once, making his head buzz.
"I say, Old Gu, can you answer the questions one by one? Why don't you ask so many questions in one breath and let us answer them? Take your time."
"I'm being too impatient. If other old friends find out about these dishes, more people will rush for them. Yi'an's order won't be enough to share. These dishes are so good. They're out of season too and well-preserved. The most important thing is that my daughter Shu likes to eat them. They're good for her stomach. She hasn't eaten so much in a long time. You have to feel sorry for your sister."
As Grandpa Gu spoke, he started to play the emotional card. He predicted that once these vegetables were on the market, there would be a crazy rush to share them. Every family wanted them. He must seize the opportunity and secure their share as soon as possible.
"He's crazy, ignore him." Huo Jingshu cursed with a smile, and pulled Wu Qiuyan to talk, "But seriously, I just heard you say that Yi'an planted a lot. What kind of vegetables are there? I'm so curious!"
Wu Qiuyan put down the cup and said excitedly:
"There are a lot, you don't know how excited I was when I went in to take a look today. There are so many kinds of vegetables. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, vegetables for every season are planted. The key is that every vegetable grows well. Take the tomatoes, for example, they are piled up. It's simply a genius in growing vegetables."
Wu Qiuyan shook her head again with regret.
"It's just that due to the size of the site, there aren't many varieties of each, just like we have a small vegetable garden in the yard in the summer, not big, but we planted vegetables in the yard over there, but unfortunately we went in this afternoon and picked all the ripe vegetables there, half a pot of vegetables, everyone in the family was curious, so we fried them and ate them in the evening. It will probably take a few days for the vegetables in the shed over there to mature."
"Have they all been fried and eaten?" Old Man Gu asked jealously of his old friend.
Grandpa Xia spread his hands and said, "We've finished eating. The two dishes I brought to you were picked out by my wife from the food that my second son left for research."
"Wait, two? What's the other one?" Grandpa Xia grasped the important information in the words. How come he didn't know anything? He looked at his old friend and asked.
