But think about it, everyone in Gu Zhao's family is capable and can earn money. They bought these things with their own money. It would be inappropriate for her, an outsider, to say anything.
Moreover, after Gu Xingshu and Gu Shuyun were rehabilitated, the wages they received over the years plus the compensation was a considerable sum, so eating so much meat and vegetables was not a burden for them.
And as for the rice, their family could not eat dry rice once a year. The rice they were allocated was sometimes enough for each family member to eat a bowl, and sometimes it was not enough for them. Old Mrs. Tian could only cook the rice into porridge and give each of them a bowl. It was impossible for them to enjoy the meal.
Here everyone has a bowl of rice, and there is even a lot left in the rice pot.
Although Tian Tian's two younger brothers were so happy that they were almost on cloud nine just thinking about getting an extra piece of meat at home, she still felt very complicated.
"Tian Tian! Try the spare ribs and braised carp in sauce. They are your uncle Gu's specialties!" Ge Huiyun enthusiastically picked up a piece of spare ribs and a large piece of carp meat for Tian Tian.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Tian Tian came here to eat. After sorting herself out, she smiled and took the dish that Ge Huiyun picked for her.
"You have to eat more. People in our family have small appetites. If you don't eat more, most of the food will be left over. The weather is warm now, and these meals can't be kept for many days. It will be a pity if they go bad! Especially you two, Gu Zhao and Tian Yuan, you two are growing up now and can eat, so you are not allowed to eat in my house. Don't eat here. If you are not full, go home. Eat when you are full." Gu Xingshu said to Tian Yuan and Gu Zhao.
This sentence was meant for Tian Yuan. They were also worried that Tian Yuan would feel embarrassed to eat too much and end up returning to school hungry.
"I definitely won't be polite with you. The food is so delicious, I will definitely eat more." Tian Yuan said with a smile.
Tian Tian lowered her head and took a bite of the ribs, and was immediately conquered by them. The ribs were so delicious, full of fat aroma but not too greasy. The ribs were stewed very well, and the meat and bones separated with a light bite.
"It's delicious!" Tian Tian ate a rib and couldn't help but praise it.
"It's delicious, right?" Ge Huiyun said proudly. She was very proud of her husband's cooking skills.
"Your Uncle Gu cooks delicious food, better than the chefs in state-owned restaurants. It's the best meal I've ever had in my life! His braised pork and Dongpo pork are also delicious. Next time when you two come over, I'll ask your Uncle Gu to cook for them!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just cook casually. How can I compare with the chefs in state-owned restaurants? It's only because you like it that you think the food I cook is delicious." Gu Shuyun said modestly.
"Uncle Gu, you don't have to be so modest. The ribs I had in the state-owned restaurant were definitely not as delicious as the ones you stewed!" Tian Tian praised sincerely.
The food cooked by Gu Shuyun is indeed the best food Tian Tian has ever eaten.
After hearing this, although Gu Shuyun didn't say it, he was still very happy in his heart. However, he did not forget the cabbage made by Ge Huiyun, and asked Tian Tian to taste the cabbage made by Ge Huiyun and see if it was delicious.
Tian Tian saw that the cabbage looked good, so she didn't think much about it. She picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. As soon as the cabbage entered her mouth, Tian Tian's face changed.
She always thought that cabbage was a dish that was easy to prepare and tasted delicious. You put the cabbage in a pot, add salt and soy sauce and it's the normal way to stir-fry the cabbage. The sweet and sour cabbage made with sugar and vinegar is also very delicious. Adding vinegar alone is a world-famous dish, the vinegar-stirred cabbage. This was the first time she knew that cabbage could be cooked so unpalatable. It tasted sweet, sour and salty.
The expression on Tian Tian's face kept changing, and she didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the cabbage in her mouth.
Looking at Ge Huiyun's expectant expression, Tiantian's expression became more complicated. When he made up his mind to swallow the cabbage, Gu Zhao beside him laughed, "You'd better spit it out. It seems that my mother's cooking skills are not up to standard again today."
Seeing Ge Huiyun's eyes suddenly dim, Tian Tian felt a little reluctant. Anyway, it was already in her mouth and she knew the taste of the dish, so she just chewed it and swallowed it. "It tastes okay, maybe the seasoning is a bit salty, I just need to use less next time."
Ge Huiyun's eyes lit up again, "I told you, I know exactly what I put in when adding seasonings, and I won't put too much."
She specially learned a trick from Gu Shuyun today. All the ingredients she used were the ones that Gu Shuyun used when cooking, so the taste would definitely not be bad.
Ge Huiyun confidently picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks, took a bite, and the next second her face turned grim and she tried hard not to spit out the cabbage.
"Why does this taste so bad? You just swallowed it? Do you want to drink some water to rinse your mouth now?" Ge Huiyun turned and asked Tian Tian.
At the same time, she was confused. She really saw Gu Shuyun adding these seasonings to every meal, so why did the taste of the food she cooked be different from that of Gu Shuyun?
"No need, this taste is just right when eaten with rice, otherwise I think it's a bit bland!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
Although the taste was a bit shocking when I first ate it, I feel it’s okay now after eating it.
Moreover, Tiantian didn't have any strange expression when she watched Gu Zhao and Gu Shuyun eating, and it seemed that she didn't think the food cooked by Ge Huiyun was not delicious.
Tian Tian enjoyed today's meal very much. Gu Zhao's family are all very easy to get along with and did not make Tian Tian feel superior.
Ge Huiyun has a lovely personality. She doesn’t seem like Tian Tian’s elder, but rather more like a good friend of the same age as Tian Tian.
Gu Xingshu was already very familiar with Tian Tian, and Tian Tian felt very comfortable in front of him.
Gu Shuyun is a gentleman and doesn't talk much, but he is very knowledgeable. When Tian Tian and Gu Zhao are talking, no matter how obscure the questions are, Gu Shuyun can answer them.
They stayed at Gu's house and it was dark before they knew it. It was only when Tian Yuan saw the sky outside that they realized, "It's getting late. We'll go back first. We'll come to see you next time when we have time."
Ge Huiyun heard that Tian Tian went up the mountain to pick chestnuts, but encountered a big snake. In the autumn, she was chased by a wild boar and had to run into the river to hide. Ge Huiyun was listening attentively, and now when she heard Tian Yuan say that he was leaving, she was a little reluctant to leave.
