Chapter 140 The Sucker
The flour that we grind ourselves nowadays is not as white as the flour we buy, and is instead a bit gray.
Chu Tong has been used to being frugal over the years, so she added a spoonful of cornmeal.
Chu Hong looked at it and didn't say much.
Will cornmeal still become a favorite in healthy diet in another forty or fifty years?
When it comes to large intestine noodles, the most complicated and time-consuming part is the large intestine.
But she used the leftover large intestine, which she just needed to heat up. After the noodles were cooked, she put them in a large bowl, added some washed and blanched wild vegetables, and then put a spoonful of large intestine on top, and it was done.
"This large intestine noodle is delicious." Gu Ci, who knew that Chu Hong cooked it, ate a few bites and praised, "It tastes better than the one in the state-owned restaurant."
No one doesn't like to hear nice words, so Chu Hong was of course happy to hear that: "Then you should eat more."
Secretary Song couldn't help but say: "Should we praise the chef's cooking skills yesterday? How about Chu Hong, can you make us another bowl of big intestine noodles next time?"
Chu Hong glared at him and said, "Are you still my real father? Are you going to ruin my show?"
Secretary Song chuckled and said, "I'm not telling you the truth because I'm afraid that Xiao Gu will praise you to the sky and you will mistakenly think that you are really a good cook."
He then pretended to sigh deeply: "People nowadays like to hear sweet words, not the truth."
Chu Hong had long realized that her stepfather was an acting genius.
She snorted, "Isn't it just large intestine noodles? How difficult is that? I'll ask the chef from yesterday tomorrow and I'll be able to make it for you in a while."
Wu Xiu also spoke up: "I heard that the master was invited away by the Su family."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her eldest daughter.
Chu Tong was no longer sad about hearing about the Su family, so she said calmly, "There are only a few villages nearby, and Master Wu used to learn cooking from the chef of a big restaurant. Who else should we invite if not him?"
He added, "I helped in the kitchen yesterday and learned a little bit. I can try to make it next time."
Secretary Song nodded immediately: "Pig offal is not expensive, and you don't need a ticket. It tastes good, and it's more cost-effective than buying meat."
Chu Hong rolled her eyes: "That's because you don't have to clean it up. If I ask you to clean it up, I think you would rather not eat it."
Wu Xiu ignored the father-daughter argument and asked Gu Ci, "Xiao Gu, are you going to Lingtou Village for a feast tomorrow?"
Gu Ci nodded: "I have to go there, return the gift, and pack up my things and bring them back home."
But in his heart, he was very glad that he did not bring the bedding yesterday, otherwise Chu Hong might have asked him to cover himself with the original bedding.
He also thought of it. When he brought it over, he would use the excuse that the bedding was dirty and needed to be taken apart and washed.
Or just quietly give the bedding to grandpa and others to use.
Anyway, he didn't want to sleep separately from her at all.
Chu Hong gloated and said, "I have to go to the commune for a meeting tomorrow and I have to ride a bicycle. Someone has already asked to borrow the team's bicycle tomorrow. If I come back late, you will have to walk to Lingtou Village by yourself."
Gu Ci didn't care: "It's not far, I can walk there quickly."
Then he asked her, "How about I ride my bike to take you to town?"
Chu Hong quickly shook her head: "No, that's too much trouble."
Wu Xiu said to Chu Hong, "Go check on your sister tomorrow and see if Mr. He and the others have started taking Chinese medicine?"
Chu Hong laughed when she heard this: "Even if they start taking Chinese medicine, the effect of Chinese medicine is slow. It will take at least ten days or half a month before we can ask them how the effect is, right?"
"You're right." Wu Xiu sighed, "I'm just too concerned and want to know if I can cure their chronic illness."
After lunch, the family started to do their own things.
In the afternoon, Chu Hong made another pot of fried rice with eggs and added some finely chopped sauerkraut and wild vegetables, which tasted quite good.
Even Secretary Song whispered to his wife in private: "Our Chu Hong is a pretty good cook. It seems that she didn't cook before because she was lazy."
Wu Xiu looked at him with a half-smile: "Why? Do you have any objections?"
Secretary Song suddenly remembered that his wife also didn't like cooking.
I even said in front of her that "not cooking is being lazy". Isn't that like an old man hanging himself because he is tired of living?
He smiled guiltily: "No problem, I'm just thinking about how to cultivate Xiao Gu's cooking skills?"
At this time, Gu Ci was very happy. After washing up, he entered the room and saw Chu Hong lying inside.
He felt a little excited when he thought that when he woke up this morning, she would be hugging him tightly.
At this moment, he heard the sound of "aiming".
Following the sound, I saw a straw nest in the corner. Xiao Hei was lying there, staring at me curiously.
Gu Ci paused and asked Chu Hong: "Is Xiao Hei sleeping in our room?"
Taking advantage of Xiao Hei's inability to speak, he wrongly accused Xiao Hei in front of others: "Cats have lice on their bodies, they are not clean, how about I move Xiao Hei out?"
"It just so happens that there is a lot of food piled up on the cabinet outside, and Xiao Hei can catch mice."
The problem was that Xiao Hei understood what Gu Ci said, and he arched his back in anger, meowing at him: "You are the stinky man, you have lice."
"Chu Hong, drive him out, aim!"
If Gu Ci wasn't an acquaintance who could be considered as someone who had fed Xiao Hei before, Xiao Hei would have really wanted to give him a few beatings.
Chu Hong defended Xiao Hei: "What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Hei is a very clean cat."
She also didn't expect that Xiao Hei and Gu Ci were like enemies meeting each other, and neither could tolerate the other.
During this period, Xiao Hei was either catching mice in the warehouse of the brigade headquarters or going out to play with his cat and dog friends. He didn't spend much time at home.
Chu Hong naturally couldn't bear to drive Xiao Hei away.
She now admires the previous emperors, who had three palaces and six courtyards and were able to maintain checks and balances.
And I can't resolve the conflict between me and my cat.
Gu Ci is a smart man. He immediately heard from Chu Hong's tone that she was defending Xiao Hei.
Although he felt a little sad, but when he thought about the fact that it was Xiao Hei who led him to save Chu Hong, he could understand why Chu Hong was so good to Xiao Hei.
He was flexible and immediately said with a smile: "I was wrong. I will give Xiao Hei some fish bones tomorrow to make amends to him."
When Xiao Hei heard that it was a fish bone, he glanced at it with disgust and curled up there without moving.
Chu Hong changed the subject: "You're also going to give out red envelopes tomorrow? Do you still have money in your pocket?"
Before going to bed yesterday, Gu Ci handed all the money to her.
Adding Chu Hong's own money, the total amount was one thousand yuan.
Nowadays, it is really rare to find a household with a salary of 1,000 yuan, and a household with a salary of 100 yuan is considered wealthy.
Especially for families in the countryside, if their children are just getting married, it is easy for the family assets to be drained out, and there is a high possibility that they will owe some foreign debts.
Gu Ci was very honest: "I still have twenty-three dollars left, which is enough for a while."
"Li Xun gave me a red envelope with two yuan in it earlier, so I was going to give him two yuan back as well."
He explained to her again: "I didn't have much contact with him in the first place. Just because he is the son-in-law of the Su family, I will not have any contact with him in the future. There is no need to be a sucker."
