The others in the cave were sharing the persimmons and other wild fruits they had brought back. As for the wild vegetables, they wouldn't eat them raw unless they were starving. They could smell the aroma of rice and water mingling together at high temperatures, wafting through the air.
It's been a long time since I smelled that scent.
Everyone kept their mouths shut for fear of their drooling mouths running away. Their stomachs were already raging with gluttony, desperately sucking in the aroma of rice in the air.
Gu Beiyao held his chin and wondered why he had never smelled such a fragrant rice before.
His eyes fell on Gu Beiheng and Su Qi, who were standing at the entrance of the cave, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Gu Beiheng was happier than the others. The woman beside him gave him vitality.
Gu Beiyao felt inexplicably pitiful, wanting to see if he was still alone. He held his chin and hunched his body further, like an abandoned dog.
Su Qi used the Wuchang rice in the space.
Wuchang rice is especially delicious when cooked into porridge or rice.
When the pot is almost done, tear the wild water celery into pieces by hand and add it in. Then, throw a handful of white flour into the pot and stir. There is a small can of lard in the bag, scoop a piece of it in with a wooden spoon.
Yao Liu from next door is also cooking porridge.
It’s just putting rice and wild vegetables in it.
Normally, these officials ate very happily, but now they saw Su Qi's order and actions.
I suddenly felt that what Yao Liu cooked was for pigs, while what Su Qi cooked was the most delicious food on earth.
Old Huang looked at Yao Liu with disdain and cursed:
"Yao Liu, you treat us like pigs. You've been carrying the big spoon for several years, but you haven't made any progress.
I'm lucky to be alive eating the porridge you cook. The pigs in the farm eat better than us."
Everyone inside was thinking in unison: "What we eat is worse than pigs." The steamed bread was like a deadly weapon, and the soup tasted only of salt, without even a speck of oil.
Why.
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel nauseous.
Worse than a pig.
Su Qi heard Old Huang cursing beside her, and then looked at Yao Liu staring at her pot with a wooden spoon.
He took the initiative to hand over the jar of lard, "Would you like to put two spoonfuls of lard in it? The wild vegetables are bitter and astringent, so lard is needed to enhance their flavor."
Yao Liu laughed heartily with his mouth wide open:
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll be more than welcome then."
He took the lard from Su Qi's hand and scooped two large spoonfuls into the pot. After thinking for a moment, he scooped another spoonful in. When he saw the oil floating on the big iron pot, he returned the lard can to Su Qi.
Su Qi pretended not to see Yao Liuduo and scooped a spoonful. Making friends with the official would bring him many conveniences on the road in the future.
She could sense that only the bearded man knew Gu Beiheng, and that he and these people weren't always together. So it was obvious that many things couldn't be done. The brothers Yao Wu and Yao Liu had a good relationship with Old Huang.
It's obvious that he is Old Huang's man.
After cooking, Su Qi took out a wooden bowl from her bag.
He poured a bowl of porridge and asked Gu Beiheng to take it to Mr. Gu and his wife, "Beiheng, take this bowl to the old man and the old lady."
Gu Beiheng frowned.
He took it obediently and handed it to the old man and the old lady.
Su Qi continued to serve porridge to Aunt Liu, and then to Dabao and Erbao. She and Gu Beiheng each filled a bowl and placed it on the ground, watching the old yellow-headed man and the bearded man stare at her.
Su Qi smiled and asked:
"Master Huang, would you two like to have a bowl too?"
This was exactly what Old Huang had been waiting for. He had always thought Yao Liu was a good cook, but now it seemed he had overestimated him.
He handed over the bowl in his hand with a smile, "Just give me a small bowl, I'll eat it with steamed buns."
Gu Erbao climbed up with his short legs and ran towards the bearded man. He picked up the small bowl next to him.
"Big brother, I'll serve you some porridge."
After saying that.
He turned around and walked back with a bowl that was bigger than his head, and from several steps away he started howling at the top of his lungs:
"Mom, please serve porridge to Erbao too." Erbao put down the bowl while panting, his little face wrinkled like a grapefruit peel.
The two little arms stretched forward and drew a big circle.
"Why is this bowl so big?" Erbao tried to put his head in it and was shocked.
“Bigger than Erbao.”
Too careless.
Brothers are important, but not as important as your own stomach.
It's easy to ruin your family.
Erbao suddenly felt that having a bearded man as a backer was not a good thing.
The bearded man was not a glutton, but he did not stop Erbao's behavior.
Su Qi watched helplessly as a small basin appeared in front of her. The corners of her mouth twitched. Silly Erbao was digging a hole to bury herself in.
She didn't fill the bowl to the brim with porridge, but only one-third of it.
The bearded man walked over in two steps, took the bowl, and said thank you in a muffled voice amid the envious gazes of everyone.
He sat in the corner and sipped porridge with Old Huang.
Aunt Liu kept glancing at Su Qi, and seeing that she was staring at the two children, she quietly moved the bowl to Gu Wushen's side.
He handed his bowl to Gu Wushen and told him with red eyes: "Eat quickly."
Su Qi pretended not to know when she saw it. She was happy to save her own rations for Gu Wushen and would not give her more food.
Su Qi's family was drinking porridge, while others were drooling as they ate half a steamed bun that was distributed to them.
Didn't reach the post station.
There were not enough steamed buns, and each person only got half a bun on average.
Adding the persimmons they'd found, there was naturally enough to eat. As long as they weren't starving, most people saved the steamed buns for tomorrow.
Gu Jingru trudged over and squatted beside Dabao, smiling sweetly: "Brother, I'm hungry."
Dabao hesitated for a moment, but still stuffed the porridge in the wooden spoon into Gu Jingru's mouth.
Su Qi's heart trembled when she saw this. She didn't want the two children to get too close to Gu Jingru. "Dabao, give the porridge in your bowl to your sister. Come over and eat the porridge in your mother's bowl."
Su Qi hurriedly carried Dabao over.
Gu Beiheng's eyebrows twitched. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Su Qi seemed to be afraid of Gu Jingru.
Logically speaking.
It's not right for a little girl like that.
Gu Beiheng's eyes darkened, and he had to find a time to ask clearly.
Seeing her daughter eat the porridge, Fang Xiaoya came over and thanked her softly, then took Gu Jingru back and shared the porridge in the bowl with Jingru and Jingfeng.
Zhang Yunyu glared angrily. Her husband was so busy eating the porridge that he didn't even ask her. Fang Xiaoya was so busy feeding the child that she forgot about her mother-in-law.
A slap hit the ground.
"Eat, eat, eat. Whoever gives you milk is your mother. I give you a little food without saying anything."
Ma Qiumei swallowed her saliva, picked up a persimmon and rubbed it on her clothes. She took a big bite and squinted her eyes when she heard it. "Sister-in-law, you are a proper mother-in-law. You should be the first to eat the good things."
The world is going downhill.
In the past, it would have been a stain. But now, since I can’t take the imperial examinations or join the army, it doesn’t matter if it’s a stain.”
Ma Qiumei was very happy because Zhang Yunyu usually relied on being the eldest daughter-in-law to suppress her in everything.
There are also times when people humiliate me.
A woman from the side branch came to Su Qi with steamed bread and wild vegetables, and blood was visible on her cracked lips.
Discussing with Su Qi uncomfortably:
"Su Qi, could you lend us your pot? My grandfather is old and needs some hot soup.
I can use the bottom of your pot to cook some vegetable soup and steamed bread. I can help you with things, and my men and brothers can also help with things."
Su Qi followed the direction of the woman's finger and saw the old man who had persuaded Mr. Gu not to divide the family that day.
At this moment, he was curled up in a pile of thatch, surrounded by his sons and grandsons.
Such old people make people feel inexplicably kind.
Su Qi nodded.
"Sister-in-law, you can use it. There is still half a bowl of porridge in the pot. Put it in and cook it together. Your vegetable soup will also taste good."
"Thank you, thank you." The woman was just trying it out.
Unexpectedly, Su Qi actually agreed to lend her the pot.
Naturally, I was overjoyed.
The others who were holding the steamed bread and gnawing on it with their necks stretched out were feeling very upset.
I should have borrowed the pot earlier.
Gu Beiyao and Gu Beijing had picked up a lot of wild vegetables, and they thought they could use the soup they cooked in the pot to ward off the cold. They came over and said hello to Su Qi, who naturally agreed.
However, when someone from Gu Wupo's family came over to borrow the pot, Su Qi ruthlessly refused.
She just wanted to let them know that it was impossible to quarrel with her and then try to take the blame.
She, Su Qi, is a person who repays kindness with kindness and repays grievances with grievances.
