The place where the prisoners were resting was a flat grassland. There was no undulation at all. There were a few small and cute trees with new buds sprouting.
The spring grass is just beginning to grow, and everything is green, except for the hillsides in the distance which are riotous with color, with camellia flowers blooming in full swing all over the hills.
At the Gu family’s side, Ru Jie’er and Li Ge’er were rolling and playing on the grass with Gun Gun.
Pei and Song had nothing to do, so they were sewing shoe soles.
When the weather gets warmer, you can’t wear snow boots anymore and have to change into lighter shoes that are more comfortable to walk in.
Song was very clever and had three or four pairs of exquisite cloth shoes piled up beside her.
After being exiled for a long time, Xie Ling had no more scruples and took out the modern kitchen utensils in the space to cook.
At this moment, she was taking out the beautiful big iron pot from the old house's kitchen, planning to cook beef and shrimp.
The terrain in the Central Plains is flat and the wind is particularly strong. The fire was extinguished every time it was lit. Xie Ling was angry and directly took out the small gas tank from the old house.
After it was put in place, it was not very obvious because of the stone stove.
Just as Xie Ling finished preparing the beef, potatoes, onions, lotus root slices and other ingredients, Gu Wei came back with a bucket of fresh shrimps.
I don’t know how Gu Wei caught them, but the lobsters were all big and plump, almost as big as half a palm, bouncing up and down in the water.
Xie Ling said without looking up as she picked out the shrimp thread: "We can't finish all the shrimps. Let's invite the Xu family to have dinner together tonight."
Gu Wei nodded, then reached out and pinned a beautiful peach blossom to Xie Ling's ear, and said with a smile: "The face and the peach blossom complement each other."
Xie Ling glanced at him and said, "What a waste of time! Come and help me pick the shrimp thread."
Gu Wei imitated Xie Ling and carefully picked the shrimp thread, a little puzzled: "Madam, fish and shrimp are very fishy, they may not taste good when cooked."
Xie Ling replied: "You will know in a moment."
Seeing Xie Ling had to cook for so many people by herself, Gu Wei felt a little distressed, "Let me take charge of the cooking later, you can teach me."
Xie Ling's scalp tingled when she thought of the big stew Gu Wei made last time. Only GunGun was edible among the dishes he cooked.
Hearing this, Xie Ling immediately recalled the feeling of "falling three thousand feet straight down" during those days, and quickly shook her head, "Forget it, I'm afraid of you."
The tall, cold-faced man froze in his tracks, looking at Gungun, who was licking his paws, with an aggrieved expression. "Gungun, I made this delicious food, right?"
GunGun has been drinking spiritual spring water recently, and his mental state has improved a lot. He is now almost as smart as an eight or nine-year-old human child.
Hearing Gu Wei's words, it nodded vigorously and rubbed Gu Wei's arm with its dog legs.
The meaning was obvious, let Gu Wei give it some extra food.
Xie Ling said coldly, "You think the meal you cooked for Gun Gun is delicious, then why don't you eat with Gun Gun today?"
Gu Wei shook his head, "Forget it then."
Gungun protested with a howl and kept circling around Gu Wei.
His eyes seemed to say, "Eat with me, eat with me!"
Xie Ling did not use the river water that Gu Wei carried from the river when cooking.
There was no telling how many people bathed and washed clothes in it, and some even spit and urinated in it. Even if the water was boiled, Xie Ling would still feel uncomfortable.
She used the spiritual spring water in the space. The spiritual spring water was sweet and refreshing, and could also enhance physical fitness.
Qiuyue helped and Xie Ling took the lead in cooking. Half an hour later, the spicy beef with prawns and the sweet and delicious white fungus soup were ready.
Since there was no big table, Xie Ling placed the dishes on a waist-high flat stone.
The evening breeze was gentle, and the setting sun was hanging on the horizon, with brilliant rays of light. The Gu and Xu families were standing and eating around the stones.
In the huge iron pot, various ingredients coated with red chili oil were mixed together and dipped in white sesame seeds. The colors were rich, and for a moment, everyone didn't know which one to choose.
The spicy taste floats in the air, making people's appetites whet and their mouths drool.
The lotus root slices are extremely fresh and spicy, leaving a light sweet aftertaste after the spiciness fades away.
The potatoes are soft and have fully absorbed the flavors of chili and peppercorns, making them very tasty.
And the lobster meat is actually more delicious than beef.
The taste is very unique, soft and chewy, fully absorbing the flavor of the spice chili.
It’s very salty, so I can only neutralize it by eating a mouthful of white rice immediately after chewing. The oil in the shrimp meat seeps into the rice, making it sweet, spicy and very memorable.
Xie Ling asked Gu Wei: "How is it?"
Gu Wei's lips turned red from eating so much, and a little sweat dripped down his jade-white face. He exclaimed, "It smells so good."
There were piles of lobster shells in front of everyone.
If you feel too full, drink a sip of the sweet and delicious Tremella soup, which is very refreshing and can help you eat two or three bowls of rice.
Yu Niang couldn't stop praising, "A Ling, your cooking is so delicious. I know a little bit about cooking, but I'm far behind you."
Xu's mother nodded repeatedly, "Before Xingzhi entered the government, there was a river in front of the village where we lived. There were a lot of shrimps like this in the river. I didn't know that these shrimps were so delicious when used in cooking!"
"Haha, I just know how to cook some new and unusual dishes. If you like, I'll teach you when we get to Lingnan."
After Xie Ling finished speaking, she looked down and saw that her bowl was filled with a lot of dishes of all kinds.
The shrimps were peeled clean.
Glancing sideways, I saw Gu Wei standing with his back straight, peeling shrimps slowly and leisurely. His slender, cold white hands and the bright red lobsters formed an extreme contrast of red and white, which was very pleasing to the eye.
After peeling the skin, he put it in Xie Ling's bowl, looking indifferent and calm.
Xie Ling thought that the only person who could peel shrimps so gracefully was Gu Wei.
