Chapter 231: Endless treasures in the mountains in late autumn
At this time, Dong Yulan cut a few slices of fat meat and put them into the pot.
Use the fat to squeeze out the oil and then stir-fry the eel. Add garlic, dried chili peppers and ginger. When it is almost done, add water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer.
Seeing the thick piece of fat on the chopping board, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Every time she went out to buy meat, she never bought such good meat.
On the contrary, whenever Dong Yulan went out to buy something, what she brought back would definitely be plump and fresh.
In terms of luck alone, she is far behind!
When Gu Jinze and his friends came back from school, they smelled the aroma of stewed eel as soon as they entered the house.
Two large eels were stewed in a full casserole.
Dong Yulan served each child a bowl of soup, which tasted so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues.
In a blink of an eye, it was late autumn.
The courtyard has been renovated.
However, because it is a bit far from the compound, it is inconvenient for Gu Jinze and his family to go to school, so they usually live in the compound and only stay in the courtyard for two days on weekends.
Su Qingshan would stay in the courtyard when he had nothing to do.
Su Mingyuan was afraid that he would be bored staying alone in the courtyard, so he asked him privately if he wanted to find a job. It just so happened that their cotton mill was recruiting odd jobs recently, and this was first-hand inside information he had obtained. If he was willing to go, with his father's ability, it should be no problem.
Su Qingshan waved his hand and refused.
He feels that life is pretty good now.
The children are all living well and have no worries about food and clothing!
There's no need to bother yourself with finding another job.
Besides, he is now at the age where he can enjoy his life. Looking after the yard for his daughter, feeding the chickens, and growing vegetables is more comfortable than anything else.
The chickens we feed at home lay eggs every day. I don’t know if it’s because they eat too well, but most of them lay two eggs a day, and I can collect more than a dozen eggs a day.
The chickens in the small western-style building have also been fed and started laying eggs.
In this way, he could not finish all the eggs, so he would take them to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for money. He saved a lot of money just from the eggs.
Gu Qiqi has learned to fly with a sword.
After Su Mingmei went to work as a teacher in a kindergarten, she only went to the courtyard with the children on weekends.
Su Qingshan usually has his meals prepared by Dong Yulan in the small western-style building. The seven treasures are placed in the space, and when they are taken out at the courtyard, they are exactly the same as when they were first put in, always hot, and will not go bad no matter how long they are kept.
Or on weekends, Dong Yulan and Su Mingmei would go to the courtyard and make more at one time and put them away.
Bai Zhengshan has become accustomed to the little girl's elusive appearances.
It's the weekend again in a flash.
Gu Qiqi greeted her grandma and said that she was going out to play with Brother Xiao.
"Be careful when you go out. Did you bring food with you?" Dong Yulan was no longer surprised that she and Xiao Mo would go out for a walk from time to time. She just reminded her to be careful and to bring food and drinks with her.
"Don't worry, grandma, I've brought everything with me!" Gu Qiqi nodded, and then she and Xiao Mo quietly slipped out of the courtyard.
There was no other way. If she left openly and her second and third brothers found out, the two jealous guys would probably say that she and Brother Xiao didn't take them out to play.
After leaving the courtyard and finding a deserted place, Xiao Mo and Qi Bao took out their magic swords, flew up into the sky, and soared into the sky.
Beijing in late autumn presents another kind of beautiful scene.
Gu Qiqi looked down from a high altitude and marveled at the wonders of nature.
Soon, Xiao Mo took Qibao to a deep mountain in the north.
Many leaves in the mountains have turned yellow.
Among the withered yellow fallen leaves, the fiery red maple leaves are particularly eye-catching.
Gu Qiqi and Xiao Mo landed deep in the mountains.
There happened to be a chestnut forest right in front of me.
The purpose of Gu Qiqi and Xiao Mo's trip is to pick various fruits in the mountains.
The chestnut forest in front of me is very large.
Gu Qiqi and Xiao Mo stopped and started working.
Using the power of space and thoughts to pick fruits is also a way to exercise mental strength.
Xiao Mo brought her here, firstly, to pick fruits so as not to waste these treasures in the mountains, and secondly, to train Qibao's spiritual power, which was equivalent to a disguised form of practice.
The mountains in late autumn hide countless treasures.
Various nuts, fruits, medicinal herbs, game...
After picking chestnuts, they came across a hawthorn forest. Gu Qiqi picked all of them.
Before dark, Xiao Mo shot another wild roe deer.
When they returned to the courtyard, as expected, Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan looked unhappy.
Gu Jinchen: "Where did you sneak away without telling us again?"
Gu Jinan: "Brother Xiao, you are not nice enough!"
Gu Jinze: "This wild roe deer is quite fat, we are in for a treat!"
…
Dong Yulan was very happy to see the wild roe deer. She asked her husband to kill the roe deer before it got dark and stew it in a pot in the evening.
"Haha, I'll go kill him right now. It's a pity that my in-laws are not here, otherwise we could have a drink together in the evening!" Su Qingshan's face was full of regret.
"If you want to drink, just say so. Don't use our relationship as an excuse!" Dong Yulan glared at him, exposing his little thoughts.
"Forget it, forget it. When shall we invite our in-laws over next time? He and Xiao Yi haven't been here yet!" Su Qingshan asked.
Now that the courtyard has been renovated, it's time to invite them over for dinner, drinks, and to warm the room.
“How about next weekend? We can prepare a few more dishes then!” Dong Yulan suggested.
"Okay, let's call Xiu Li Ming Yuan and the others next weekend!" Su Qingshan nodded and agreed.
Gu Qiqi silently kept in mind that Siheyuan would host a banquet for Grandpa Bai and others next weekend.
When Su Qingshan was slaughtering the wild roe deer, Gu Qiqi entered the kitchen with two empty backpacks.
Under Dong Yulan's puzzled gaze, he packed all the chestnuts and hawthorns he had picked in the space into a backpack.
The chestnuts are all shelled, and each one is uniform in size and doesn't look small.
The hawthorns are piled in the backpack, bright red, making people drool just by looking at them.
"We picked a lot. Grandma, if you need any, just tell me anytime. We can stir-fry the chestnuts with sugar and coat the hawthorns with sugar and make candied haws!" Gu Qiqi instructed Dong Yulan.
"Okay, grandma will listen to you!" Dong Yulan said with a smile.
Her good daughter is omnipotent. With her around, the family has enough food and drink, and can often taste new things.
Looking at the courtyard full of vitality, Dong Yulan couldn't be more satisfied with her life now.
Compared to the past when we had to worry about the next meal after the last one, life is so good now!
There are so many good things in the mountains in late autumn.
You can never finish picking them all!
Picked this hill and that hill!
After learning how to fly with a sword, the deep mountains and dense forests across the country almost became Qibao's back garden.
Go wherever you want!
Pick here today and there tomorrow.
Xiao Mo was worried that she would run into the mountains alone, so he took a long vacation to accompany her. Every day after breakfast, the two of them would play the game of disappearing and would not come back until before dinner.
Every time Qibao came back from going out, he would bring back some prey, such as pheasants, hares, roe deer, etc.
That day, Qibao brought back an adult wild goat!
