Chapter 157: High-ranking official's son & rural hot girl
Yu Hui noticed Zhan Lang's embarrassment and asked, "Xiao Zhan, can you kill fish?"
"Of course, I'm very good at killing fish." Zhan Lang said, patting his chest.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Then you can help me kill the fish. Kill five or six big crucian carps and make crucian carp soup."
Crayfish noodles are dry-mixed, but they also need soup.
"Okay." Zhan Lang said, raised his chin proudly towards Wu Chao, and went to choose fish.
Killing fish requires much more effort than peeling shrimps.
Wu Chao rolled his eyes. Brother Zhan was too childish. He was showing off just by killing a fish.
Zhan Lang helped kill the fish, and Yu Hui went into the kitchen to check on the kneaded noodles.
The dough is almost risen and can be kneaded.
She took the dough out of the bowl and kneaded it vigorously on a floured board.
"Sister Xiaohui, the shrimps have been peeled." Gu Qiuyan walked into the kitchen carrying a half-full basin of shrimps.
"Put it on the stove first, and then help me peel two heads of garlic and pull a bunch of green onions."
"After I peel the garlic, you can help me chop it. Chop the ginger as well, and cut some dried chilies and green peppers."
"Chop the green onions into chopped green onions." While kneading the dough, Yu Hui arranged for Gu Qiuyan to prepare the ingredients for stir-fried crayfish.
"Okay." Gu Qiuyan put the basin on the stove, took two heads of garlic, and walked out of the kitchen to let Gu Dong and others peel them.
She picked a handful of green onions and a handful of tender green peppers.
"Aunt Yu, the fish has been killed and cleaned." Zhan Lang walked into the kitchen carrying the fish. "I have cleaned the black film inside the fish's belly."
"Thank you." While thanking, Yu Hui asked Gu Qiuyan to cut the fish, sprinkle salt on it, slice the old ginger, tie a few green onions, and marinate the fish.
"Here." Zhan Lang handed the fish to Gu Qiuyan with a smile.
The latter took the fish and started cutting it.
After cutting the knives for the two fish, Gu Qiuyan saw that Zhan Lang hadn't left yet, so she said, "Why don't you go out and play? What are you doing standing in the kitchen?"
His presence was so strong that it made her feel uncomfortable.
"I..." Zhan Lang's eyes turned, his gaze fixed on Yu Hui, and he said, "I'm watching Aunt Yu kneading the dough."
"Aunt Yu, let me try it too. I'm strong." Zhan Lang clenched his fists, revealing his muscles.
"No, you've killed fish before, and your hands smell like fish."
"When you knead the dough, it will pick up smell." She didn't want to eat noodles with a fishy smell.
Zhan Lang: "..."
Gu Qiuyan burst out laughing.
She looks very pretty when she smiles, with curved eyebrows and two dimples on her face.
Zhan Lang was killed by this smile. He scratched his head and muttered softly, "What are you laughing at?" It was quite cute.
Gu Qiuyan tilted her head and snorted, "I laugh whenever I want, it's none of your business."
Yu Hui looked back and forth between the two of them and felt that the atmosphere between them was somewhat similar to that of the male and female enemies in idol dramas.
Not to mention, the two of them look quite compatible when standing together.
The son of a high-ranking official and a hot girl from a farming family, how come this CP is so good?
After the dough was kneaded, Yu Hui no longer cared about the couple. She added charcoal to the big stove and replaced the small stove with honeycomb coal.
Fry the marinated crucian carp in boiling oil until both sides are golden brown.
Bring the clean casserole to the stove and put the fried fish in the casserole.
Fry two more eggs in the pan and put them back in the casserole.
Add the boiling water that has been boiled in the pot early in the morning into the casserole, put in four or five slices of old ginger and four or five knotted green onions, cover the pot and simmer.
Yu Hui rolled out the noodles and asked Gu Qiuye to help cut them.
"Why don't you let me cut it?" Gu Qiuyan pouted, feeling that she had fallen out of favor. In the past, she was the one doing this kind of work.
Yu Hui: "Because your hands also smell like fish."
She cut the fish.
Gu Qiuyan: “…”
"Puchi." Zhan Lang, who was standing by the door, laughed out loud.
Gu Qiuyan glared at him, "What are you laughing at?"
"Cough cough..." Zhan Lang coughed twice. This little chili pepper is really choking.
While Gu Qiuye was cutting noodles, Yu Hui started stir-frying the shrimps.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add ginger and garlic, add chopped bean paste... add shrimp.
The rich and tempting aroma made everyone drool.
The fragrance drifted far away and reached the Wu family.
Wu Tingting smelled the fragrance and said to her mother Li Shuping, "It smells so good! This must be coming from Uncle Gu's house."
"Chaochao is in for a treat tonight." Wu Tingting slumped on the sofa with a pout. If she had known earlier, she would have gone fishing with them this morning, even though she didn't know how to fish.
Li Shuping swallowed hard, looked in the direction of the Gu family, and felt envious of her son.
I wonder what the crayfish noodles made by Xiao Yu will taste like.
"It would be great if Gu Dong's mother could open a restaurant so that we can enjoy her cooking skills."
Li Shuping glanced at her daughter and said, "All restaurants are state-owned now. How can anyone open a restaurant?"
Wu Tingting frowned. "Didn't Dad say yesterday that the newspaper said individual businesses were allowed? We can even apply for a license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau."
Li Shuping smiled and shook her head. "Those are just barbershops and tailor shops that cut hair and make clothes, but they don't use food coupons or meat coupons."
"How many food coupons and meat coupons are needed to open a restaurant? A family only gets a few per year, which is not enough to run a restaurant. If you buy food coupons and meat coupons from others, you will have to pay a high price, which is not worth it."
So, it is not easy to open this restaurant.
"Oh, when can I eat the food cooked by Gu Dong's mother?" Wu Tingting wailed towards the ceiling.
Zhao Chunhong was also working in the kitchen, and when she heard her daughter's wailing, she smiled and gave her granddaughter some advice, "If you have a good time with Gu Dong's two cousins, you can have some food."
Chaochao can eat it because he gets along well with Gu Dong.
"I see them playing table tennis in the playground in the morning. You can go and play with them."
Wu Tingting wrinkled her nose, worried that she would not be able to play with others.
Zhao Chunhong continued, "I heard from Grandma Gu Dong that her granddaughter has good grades. Qiuye was admitted to high school with a perfect score of 100, and she scored 95 in math."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuping nodded and said, "That's really not bad. The education level in the countryside is poor, but she can still get such a score. It shows that she is not only smart, but also works hard."
Then he looked at his daughter and said, "Look at your final exam results. You only got 70 points in math. You could learn from others. You'll be taking the high school entrance exam next year."
Li Shuping is still a little worried about her daughter's results.
Wu Tingting thought that students studying in the countryside would not do well in school, but she didn't expect that cousin Gu Dong's grades were so good.
I felt that I was prejudiced against others, which seemed a bit bad, so I immediately threw away those prejudiced thoughts in my mind.
After the crayfish were fried, Yu Hui scooped boiling water from the pot at the back and started cooking.
The fish soup was ready. Gu Qiuyan picked out the ginger and green onions, sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on it, and asked Zhan Lang to take it out together with the casserole.
