Chapter 337: Anhui Province Stinky Mandarin Fish
Gu Hongying had no experience in dealing with pregnant women, and was afraid that she would scare her sister-in-law by acting too startled. She tried her best to restrain herself from making such a fuss, but she couldn't take her eyes off Zhuifeng and Xiao Huihui.
Gu Bohuai asked, "How is Xiaolu these days? Is he all right?"
"Everything is fine. Everything is normal during the prenatal checkup."
"I can't help much, I can only buy more things." Gu Bohuai carried the large and small bags to the coffee table, and took out a small package that was wrapped tightly, "I heard Qingye said that you wanted to eat the stinky mandarin fish from Anhui Province, so I asked my old comrade to help get a few, and then I will ask Qingye to cook it for you..."
Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Gu Bohuai had prepared this. She turned around and saw Gu Qingye taking it with a calm expression.
When she first became pregnant, she couldn't smell the smell of fish. Later, she didn't like the smell of milk. Later, she didn't like the smell of chicken. Now there is nothing that she doesn't like, but there is one thing that she particularly loves - the smell of stinky smells.
Recently, she has been particularly fond of eating things like pig intestines and stinky tofu. Some time ago, she suddenly dreamed of the stinky mandarin fish from Anhui Province that she had eaten in her previous life. When she woke up, she mentioned it in a mouthful. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingye remembered it and Gu Bohuai even delivered it to her personally.
The kraft paper was wrapped quite tightly, so Lu Youyou couldn't smell any pungent smell. But to Zhuifeng, this thing was no different from a biological weapon.
It had already smelled it before Gu Bohuai took it out, but didn't touch it because it was not sure what it was. Now that this thing was placed on the table openly and the word "eat" was mentioned, Zhuifeng immediately stood up and stood in front of Lu Youyou.
What a bold thief, he actually dared to bring a rotten gift to my door!
Zhuifeng didn't bark, but the look in his eyes was too obvious. If Lu Youyou and Gu Qingye hadn't said anything, he would have thrown the stinky thing into the toilet a hundred meters away.
Gu Qingye knew Zhuifeng too well. He reached out and patted it on the head twice: "Don't worry, this is edible, just like the stinky tofu last time."
Zhuifeng looked back in disbelief. Could it be that his old comrade-in-arms had conspired with outsiders to murder his mother?
At least the stinky tofu was cooked. It saw people fish it out of the frying pan with their own eyes. But this time it was completely raw meat, rotten raw meat!
Zhuifeng assessed the possibility of Gu Qingye's betrayal in his mind, looked at him and then at Gu Bohuai, his eyes rolling several times.
Gu Qingye sneered: "What are you thinking, it's really edible, if you don't believe me, ask mom."
Zhuifeng turned around when he heard this and would not feel at ease until his mother gave his approval.
Lu Youyou was trying to hold back her laughter. Last time she ate stinky tofu, Zhuifeng stopped her once. She didn't expect that there would be a second episode in the battle to defend the stinky tofu.
"It's really edible, don't worry!" Lu Youyou stroked the dog's head. The child was so thoughtful.
The Gu family father and daughter stared at the scene in amazement. Gu Bohuai was still calm, as he had been a major leader for a long time and could keep his composure. However, Gu Hongying had been unable to close her mouth for several minutes.
"What a pity! How could such a smart military dog retire?" She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Upon hearing this, Zhuifeng turned to look at her and frankly revealed his black eye mask.
Its retirement life is pretty good, and it has trained four reserve forces for the team. It feels that its life as a dog is very fulfilling and there is no regret at all.
Lu Youyou scratched Zhuifeng's chin. Zhuifeng squinted his eyes and put the dog's head on her knees. She looked at the time and the hour hand had reached half past eleven.
"Why don't you just eat lunch at home? It'll be a good opportunity for Qingye to try grilled fish."
Gu Bohuai glanced at Gu Qingye, and seeing that he had no objection, he agreed with a smile: "Then I will also cook a dish and show you my skills."
Gu Bohuai came from a poor family and knew how to cook, but he hadn't cooked for a long time. Even Gu Hongying rarely got to eat meals cooked by her father.
The two men went to the kitchen, and Gu Hongying came to Lu Youyou and said, "My father's cooking skills are very good, but is that stinky mandarin fish really delicious?"
Lu Youyou was not sure if Gu Qingye could make the taste she remembered: "You should be able to accept this taste if you are used to eating stinky tofu and stinky fermented bean curd."
At this time, Xiao Huihui flew over and slowly moved towards the coffee table.
It doesn't like to get too close to strangers, but at this moment it couldn't help but be curious and wanted to smell the smell of the brown paper bag that made Zhuifeng alert.
An owl's sense of smell is not as sensitive as a dog's. It sniffed from half a meter away, but there was no smell.
Xiao Huihui carefully moved forward a few steps, stopped about thirty centimeters away, and smelled it again. It seemed that there was a little fishy smell.
It felt okay, so it stepped forward and took a deep breath, yue...yue...yueeeeeeeeeee...
Xiao Huihui vomited several times, jumped three feet away, quickly spread his wings to cover his mouth and nose, and looked at Lu Youyou hesitantly——
Mom, are you okay? You're eating stinky meat?!
Gu Hongying laughed out loud. She thought the eagle was very cool, but unexpectedly it was a comedy eagle!
Zhuifeng looked at Xiao Huihui's wings with envy. He also wanted to plug his nose with them, but his paws had no hair and could not cover his nostrils.
"You really are..." Lu Youyou looked at Hao Da'er's exaggerated movements with a smile on her face. "Humans and eagles do not share the same sorrows and joys. It's normal that you can't understand."
It's because logistics remain unchanged in this era, otherwise I would have to give it two cans of herrings to smell.
An hour later, lunch was ready. In the middle of the table was the Anhui Province specialty, braised stinky mandarin fish.
The smell of thick oily sauce is wrapped with a faint stinky fragrance, but to be honest, it is not unpleasant.
The topping is red pepper and green onion, and the meat is made of garlic cloves. The appearance alone is absolutely first-class.
"It smells so good, that's the feeling!" Lu Youyou's eyes lit up.
Although she often wanted to eat this and that after she became pregnant, her family members were able to get them for her, so she rarely felt so greedy that she drooled.
The bamboo shoot chicken soup, stewed beef brisket with radish, and steamed pork with rice flour on the table seemed to have been excluded. Now the only thing in her eyes was the plate of tempting, red, shiny fish.
"Try it and see how it tastes." Gu Qingye picked up a piece of fish and gave it to her.
Lu Youyou still remembered that there were guests at home, and smiled and invited Gu Hongying to take a seat: "Please help yourself to whatever you want to eat. Don't be polite."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, you eat and don't worry about me."
There were four people at the table, three of them were looking in the same direction. Although they didn't say anything, they were obviously waiting for Lu Youyou's evaluation.
Gu Bohuai asked, "Little Deer, how is it? Is it delicious? I specifically asked my comrade in arms about the authentic recipe from Anhui Province. Qingye made it according to the recipe. Is it the taste you want?"
The taste of Lu Youyou is right as soon as you take a bite. The meat is chewy and not mushy, with a hint of fermentation in the aroma. The more you eat, the more addictive it becomes.
"Very good, delicious!" It deserves a five-star rating.
Gu Bohuai was relieved, as long as it tasted good!
Although Lu Youyou wants to eat the food, if she doesn't like the result, then it would be a case of good intentions leading to bad results.
"Sister-in-law, is it really delicious?" Gu Hongying had never eaten fish that was deliberately made smelly in her life, so she was hesitant to eat it.
"Try it. If you don't like it, don't force it."
Gu Hongying held her breath, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. Her expression looked as if she was dying a heroic death. Five seconds later, the corners of her mouth rose and her eyes narrowed.
“It’s really delicious!!!”
