Chapter 232: When it comes to eating, he is not as good as Qibao
Today happens to be Friday, and tomorrow is the weekend, which is the day to entertain my in-laws, Bai Zhengshan and Xiao Yi's family.
Dong Yulan placed Jinrui in a small western-style building and asked Sister Lin to help look after him.
I came to the courtyard, preparing to see what delicious food I could make to entertain my in-laws tomorrow!
Qibao brought back a lot of prey these two days.
There were several pheasants and rabbits kept in the backyard. Dong Yulan was happy when she saw the wild goat held in Mo Xiaozi's hand.
Well, I brought back another big one!
"This wild goat is fat. Now that the weather is cool, hotpot is the best choice. How about we have mutton hotpot tomorrow?" Su Qingshan on the side couldn't help but suggest.
Mainly because he was greedy!
When I saw this wild goat, I couldn't help but want to make fun of it!
"This is a good idea. Let's have mutton hotpot tomorrow!" Dong Yulan slapped her thigh.
For hot pot, preparation is simple!
My in-laws have a strong taste for hotpot, and combined with Xiao Yi's family's preferences, I guarantee that everyone will love hotpot.
Dong Yulan immediately started preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's hotpot.
Su Qingshan took the wild goat from Xiao Mo and killed it.
Tsk, it’s so heavy!
Su Qingshan staggered when he took the wild sheep.
Xiao Mo was very considerate and gave him a hand, holding the wild sheep tightly and not letting go: "Grandpa Su, what do you need to do? Let me help you!"
Xiao Mo is very strong, so controlling a wild sheep weighing hundreds of kilograms is easy for him.
"Haha, okay, I'll go get a rope to tie up the sheep!" Su Qingshan nodded and went to get the rope happily.
In his opinion, Mo's strength is no less than Mingyuan's.
By the time Su Qingshan brought the rope, Xiao Mo had already knocked the wild goat unconscious.
As usual, Su Qingshan tied the wild sheep's feet to prevent it from waking up suddenly and struggling during the slaughter process.
While Xiao Mo was helping Su Qingshan slaughter wild sheep, Qibao was not idle either.
She found a lot of mushrooms and wild delicacies in the secret space and prepared them for the hot pot tomorrow.
"These are all good stuff!" Dong Yulan's eyes widened when she saw the mushrooms.
Many of them are rare and uncommon on the market, with extremely high nutritional value and are not cheap. Qibao threw out a bunch of them as if they were free.
"I'll make two flavors of hotpot tomorrow, one spicy and one mushroom. This way, I can drink the soup after having the hotpot!" Looking at the pile of mushrooms, Dong Yulan made up her mind.
Gu Qiqi doesn’t care, she doesn’t have any dietary restrictions and everything tastes delicious!
The weather gets colder day by day in late autumn.
On the second day it was drizzling.
Two military jeeps stopped in front of Gu's house.
The neighbors have long been accustomed to the fact that military vehicles often stop at Gu's house. They believe that Gu's house has connections in the army, who must be rich or noble, and they will not take the initiative to provoke them unless necessary.
Every time Su Qingshan went out, the neighbors he met would smile at him, and Su Qingshan would also smile back warmly. As a result, he became familiar with some of the neighbors.
Bai Zhengshan got off the military jeep.
Next came Bai Xiuli and Su Mingyuan, with Bai Xiuli holding Su Jinrui in her arms.
Su Jinyu was sitting in the back of the car and got off with Bai Xiumei and her husband. Sister Lin also came.
The Gu family all stayed in the courtyard last night, including Xiao Mo. He had been staying with Qibao during this period and had lived in the courtyard. He had not returned to the main compound at all.
Early in the morning, the elderly couple Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan got up and started working.
The children have been eating noodles for breakfast in the small western-style building recently, so Dong Yulan decided to change the taste for everyone today and made corn cakes.
The stone mill in South City was brought into the space along with Qibao, and now Su Qingshan was using the stone mill to grind soy milk for everyone!
Corn cakes with soy milk, a poached egg for each person, and chicken soup simmering on a low heat on the stove.
The pheasant was exchanged by Qibao for a space to be raised.
When killing the chicken, Su Qingshan specially took a bowl to catch the chicken blood and save it for the hot pot later.
Bai Zhengshan and his friends came after breakfast.
When he came, he was carrying a lot of bags and had prepared a lot of gifts.
Gu Jinze and the others were playing in the front yard. When they heard a knock on the door, they hurried to open it.
Bai Zhengshan, Xiao Yi, and Bai Xiumei all came to the Siheyuan for the first time. As soon as they got out of the car, they couldn't help but look around.
The renovation of the courtyard house lasted for nearly half a year!
The wood alone consumes a lot of materials.
The renovated house looks grand at first glance. After entering the house, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs. The main body of the house made of pure solid wood looks antique. There are also rockery and fountains, and various rare and precious flowers and plants are planted in the flower beds...
Every mountain, every stone, every place and every scene are all extremely exquisite!
Bai Zhengshan was a rough man and was dazzled!
No wonder his in-laws don’t want to go to his small Western-style house and like to stay here. It’s more comfortable to live here than his small Western-style house!
Xiao Yi was also shocked when he saw it.
I heard a long time ago that the Gu family bought a house.
He thought he just bought it and didn't take it seriously. When he heard that it took nearly half a year to renovate the house, he was a little puzzled.
It would take half a year, let alone repairs, to even rebuild a new one.
However, after seeing the true appearance of the courtyard house, he finally understood why!
As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I bought such a big house!
The Gu family is really capable!
This house looks luxurious, it must have cost a lot of money to renovate it!
Wow, awesome, really awesome!
Bai Xiumei's eyes were full of envy and admiration!
"This house is so beautiful. If I could live in it, I would wake up with a smile every day." Bai Xiumei couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Xiuli smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. Qibao said that we have prepared rooms for everyone. You can come anytime you want!"
"Oh, there is such a good thing?" Bai Zhengshan was delighted when he heard it.
He was just thinking about when he could come and live here, but the little girl had already taken them all into consideration in advance.
Bai Zhengshan now felt relieved and liked the little girl even more!
What a clever little guy! He thinks things through so thoroughly!
After visiting the front yard, visit the back yard!
Compared with the front yard, Su Qingshan and his friends prefer to stay in the backyard, and they spend most of their time there.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Bai Zhengshan’s eyes widened!
In the quaint house, a strong farm atmosphere fills the air.
Chicken coop, big stove, vegetable garden...
Bai Zhengshan was so amused by what he saw.
This is the true nature of the in-laws. They can’t do without farming and raising chickens wherever they go…
And the vegetables here grow better than those in the small Western-style building.
As autumn approaches, many vegetables in the small western-style building have turned yellow and withered, but the vegetables here in the courtyard are still green and full of vitality.
Gu Jianguo and Su Mingmei hurried forward to greet them.
Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan also put down their work and came forward to greet them.
Mrs. Lin, who had been following along the way, was stunned the whole time.
She thought the commander's family was good enough, and in her opinion, Bai Xiuli marrying Su Mingyuan was marrying down.
There is also the Gu family, who often stayed at the commander's house when they first came to Beijing.
Who would have thought that their family is no worse than the commander's.
No, just looking at this house, it is more luxurious than the small Western-style building!
Dong Yulan usually works in the kitchen with her. She is diligent and virtuous. You can't tell that she comes from a wealthy family and has an impeccable temper.
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but look up to Dong Yulan even more!
"You're here, so what else do you bring? Come in and sit down!" Dong Yulan invited everyone into the house.
A living room was specially reserved in the backyard for entertaining guests and dining, and the area is not small.
The wood from Qibao Space was used to make the sofa, coffee table, and dining table...
When Su Qingshan had nothing to do, he asked Qibao for a piece of good wood, carved a chessboard, polished it smooth, coated it with wood wax, and placed it on a solid wood coffee table. It looks very beautiful!
Bai Xiumei couldn't sit still, so she stayed in the living room for a while and then, under the guidance of Su Mingmei, she went around the backyard to visit!
The drizzle in the sky stopped unnoticed.
There is also a wooden corridor in the backyard. The corridor is quite large and there are tables and chairs inside. You can sit inside when you have nothing to do or enjoy the cool in the summer. It is very nice!
"This house is so big and clean everywhere. It shows that Uncle Su is very busy at home!" Bai Xiumei couldn't help but say.
Little did she know that Su Qingshan didn't need to sweep everywhere with a broom. Her son helped a lot and practiced the Qingchen Technique in the house a lot.
"My dad just can't sit still. It would be good for him to walk around and stretch his muscles!" said Su Mingmei.
Bai Zhengshan and Su Qingshan chatted for a while and then started playing chess.
When it was lunch time, Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan had already prepared everything.
Dong Yulan went to the kitchen to cook a mushroom pot, and Su Mingmei and Bai Xiumei helped to move the washed and cut vegetables to the dining table in the living room.
In the kitchen, there was a large pot of lamb ribs stewed in red soup, and the carrots in it were cooked until soft.
When the lamb ribs were served, the wind blew the tempting aroma straight into everyone's nose.
Everyone is greedy~
One pot of red soup base and one pot of mushroom soup base.
Su Mingmei helped to pour the food into two charcoal stove pots, and placed the rest on the idle table next to her ready to be added at any time.
There was a lot of wood in the house, and Su Qingshan became familiar with the carpenters. After the house was renovated, several carpenters stayed in the courtyard for a while and made a lot of tables and chairs.
There are even special tables and chairs for eating hot pot.
There is a charcoal stove on the table, and stools are placed in a circle at just the right height.
In late autumn, there was drizzling rain outside and a cool breeze.
Inside the house, a charcoal stove was set up and everyone sat around it, eating until they were sweating!
The side dishes for hot pot are very rich!
The dish is mainly made of mutton. There are cooked lamb ribs and lamb ribs in the pot, and there are also beautiful mutton rolls on the plate next to it.
Don't ask how the mutton rolls are made. Just use a freezing spell, and then Xiao Mo, the free laborer, personally takes charge, controls it with mental power, and cuts each slice thinly and evenly...
He is good at practicing, but when it comes to eating, he is not as good as Qibao!
In addition to mutton, there are also chicken blood, sweet potatoes, prawns, lettuce, coriander... and all kinds of mushrooms!
Dong Yulan’s cooking skills were not bad to begin with, and the ingredients were fresh. Gu Qiqi also added some spiritual spring water to the pot…
It was spicy, fresh and refreshing, and everyone couldn't stop eating it...
While everyone was busy eating, Xiao Mo was concentrating on peeling shrimps for Qibao.
