Then add another can of canned yellow peaches, no more.
There are meat and desserts, which is considered presentable in the city. As for the other cured meats, keep them for your own enjoyment and definitely don’t let them be given to the ungrateful sister-in-law, after all, you can’t tame her.
In view of what her sister-in-law had just done, she decided to leave her alone for now. If it weren't for Gu Peichuan, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.
Thinking that my sister-in-law would soon reveal her ugly behavior, my mood suddenly became better.
When Gu Peichuan and Sheng Chuxuan first rented the house, they built a simple kitchen behind the house. They usually cooked here without having to compete with other educated youth.
Gu Peichuan went to the brigade, rented the room next to his own, and paid a month's rent.
Qin Guosheng didn't make things difficult for him. Targeting him was one thing, but he couldn't go against money.
Gu Wanwan brought her younger brother and sister into the house, "Second brother, Sister Chu Xuan, I will be the cook today, you can try my cooking."
Gu Peichuan was surprised by this. The younger sister in modern times was a delicate girl who couldn't even do housework. Unexpectedly, she followed the fashion and traveled through time, and knew all kinds of skills. "Then I have to taste it. I haven't tried it yet!"
Sheng Chuxuan went back to the house and looked through the stock. She didn't find any food, only the malted milk that had run out. It was not easy to give it away. It was all her fault for eating too much. The food sent by her family every month was finished at the beginning of the month. At the end of each month, she could only rely on hunting to satisfy her hunger. "What are we going to do tonight? We have almost finished the stock we brought. It's too late to go into the mountains now. I'm going to exchange some food with the villagers now. I can't let my sister suffer a loss."
"No need, I asked someone to deliver it." Gu Wanwan excused herself to go out for a while, and came back carrying two large bags of parcels. "Eat as much as you want, and I'll do more after you're done. I have a lot of connections. If it's not too conspicuous, I can bring you a truckload of food."
Both bags were given to Sheng Chuxuan. When she opened them, she could see various meats and dried meats, rice, flour, grain, oil, sausages, ham, malted milk, canned fruits, White Rabbit with brown sugar, etc. The other things were either clothes or shoes.
"Wanwan is amazing, where did you get so much white rice? I've been eating whole grains and brown rice lately, and I'm about to vomit..."
Even in the capital, no matter how high an official is, he cannot eat white rice every day. These days, fine grains are expensive and there is a limit to their availability.
I didn't expect that I could have free access to white rice in the countryside.
After instructing Sheng Chuxuan on what to do, Gu Wanwan went to the back mountain. When she came back, she had a pheasant and a rabbit in her hands. She also caught a big fish when she passed by the river, so she had fresh meat and vegetables for dinner.
A dish of chicken stewed with potatoes, a dish of braised rabbit meat, a dish of scrambled ham with eggs, a dish of sweet and sour fish, plus a dish of vegetables and tomato egg soup.
When Sheng Chuxuan and Gu Peichuan heard the names of the dishes, they swallowed subconsciously. Especially when they saw Gu Wanwan's superb cooking skills, they knew that this feast was a sure thing.
"Oh my god, what an overbearing fragrance..."
Gu Wanwan quickly prepared five dishes and simply stir-fried some seasonal vegetables, "Brother, please invite Ye Youmeng and the others to come over for dinner later."
Seeing that the dish was almost done, Gu Peichuan wiped the water stains on his hands with a towel and walked over to the other party to call his partner.
Sheng Chuxuan curled her lips, "Ye Youmeng and the others have always thought that you are a bumpkin. They probably thought that you can't afford meat. In fact, I have seen it a few times. Ye Youmeng's family sent a lot of cured meat. She and Song Shuyu often secretly ate meat and were reluctant to give Pei Chuan a bite. They were either worried that Pei Chuan would be spoiled or afraid that Pei Chuan would share some with me. It was a waste that Pei Chuan often gave her gifts and food. Whenever he hunted game or bought meat, he would send a portion to his partner, and even Song Shuyu got some."
"Humph, who wants that salty old meat?"
On the other side, Ye Youmeng and Song Shuyu made a dish of fried bacon with chili peppers and stir-fried cucumbers, as well as vegetable soup. They also cooked brown rice for five people and added a little bit of fine grains to improve the taste.
The dish was ready, but the cooking skills were poor and the bacon was fried into a black color.
"Pei Chuan, you came just in time. Ask your sister to have dinner together. I made some meat dishes to entertain her."
Gu Peichuan nodded, glanced at the burnt bacon, and suddenly felt reluctant to dampen her enthusiasm. "My sister made a few side dishes, just enough to make up a table. I'll go help first."
Song Shuyu carried the dishes and followed Ye Youmeng to the big round table in the backyard. Two dishes and a soup were placed on the table, and a pot of coarse grain rice was brought. "It must be a few dry vegetables, not presentable. Little sister Gu has offended so many people in the village today. Who is willing to exchange things with her?"
The task of serving the dishes was given to Gu Peichuan, while Gu Wanwan and Sheng Chuxuan sat down first with the twins.
Ye Youmeng's face fell when she saw Sheng Chuxuan coming uninvited. "Sheng Zhiqing, this is the meal I prepared to entertain Gu Xiaomei. It's not appropriate for you to join in the fun. Besides, I only cooked enough for five people. Of course, it's not that I don't welcome you, but if the food is not enough, some people will go hungry."
Sheng Chuxuan was amused when she heard this, and said in an extremely sarcastic tone, "Portion for five people? Pei Chuan and Wan Wan, brother and sister, plus the two of you, there are already six people. Are you so stingy with your partner's brother and sister?"
Song Shuyu immediately explained, "How much can a two-year-old eat? As long as you don't eat, there is enough food. This is the food ration that Mengmeng and I saved specially. If you want to eat, you have to eat it just now. Sheng Zhiqing, do you have the nerve to eat for free?"
Sheng Chuxuan glanced at the food on the table and almost vomited in public, "I don't want to take advantage of you. The food you cooked is not appetizing at all. Do you think it is worthy of serving guests? You are so stingy. I don't care. I just want to eat what Wanwan cooks. This little food is not enough to feed two babies."
Ye Youmeng suppressed her dissatisfaction and turned to look at Gu Wanwan, "Little sister Gu, you don't have to be polite, just treat it as your own home. You probably don't have much chance to eat meat normally, so you should eat more later. Sausage is not a good dish, but at least you can taste some meat. I'll treat you to a good meal at the state-owned restaurant some other time."
Song Shuyu was very attentive in serving them food, but was stopped by Gu Wanwan, "No need, you can eat by yourselves, we have big appetites."
Ye Youmeng mistakenly thought that Gu Wanwan was throwing a tantrum due to inferiority complex, and she felt a little relieved. She thought that now Gu Xiaomei should realize the gap between the rich and the poor.
Eat it or not, she won’t spoil you anyway!
At this time, Gu Peichuan came over with a dish of vegetables and sweet and sour fish, placed the dishes on the table, and then ran a few more times to bring out the remaining meat dishes and a large pot of white rice.
When Ye Youmeng and Song Shuyu saw the banquet on the table, their jaws dropped.
Gu Wanwan personally served a large bowl of white rice to her brother and Sheng Chuxuan, filling it up, then to the twins and herself, "Ye Zhiqing, Song Zhiqing, don't be polite to me, just treat it like your own family and eat as much as you want. I'm not afraid that you'll go bankrupt. These are just some home-cooked dishes, so just eat whatever you want. I'll make a richer meal for you another day!"
