Chapter 132 133. Visitors to the Store
Deng Yuanhang was also attracted by the fragrance and simply took off the lid that had been opened at one corner.
"This?" Looking at the duck necks, duck feet, and some internal organs piled together, Deng Yuanhang was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Try this. My wife prepared this for us to pass the time on the way."
After Gu Wenheng finished speaking, he silently drew a line in his heart. It was indeed what his wife had stewed, but it was just a large pot of stew that had been stored in the space earlier and was dug out today.
"It smells good, but how can I eat it?" Zhou Ping looked through the upper and lower layers but couldn't find chopsticks.
Gu Wenheng unscrewed the water bag, simply washed his hands, and picked it up directly. "This thing has to be eaten this way to be tasty. You guys try it."
When we were students, these were the main force every time there was an activity in the dormitory.
Seeing Gu Wenheng eating with gusto, the two couldn't help themselves and followed his example, each picking out something they thought was edible.
Deng Yuanhang's eyes widened as he took a bite, "This is so delicious."
Zhou Ping silently gnawed the wings in his hand. In a moment, he opened his mouth and looked for water. "My mouth is numb. Where is the water?"
"Your mouth is really spicy," Deng Yuanhang said calmly, "but in this cold weather, eating some spicy food can help keep away some of the cold."
Gu Wenheng looked up at Deng Yuanhang and asked, "Brother Deng, have you eaten this pepper before?"
"So this is called chili pepper?" Deng Yuanhang nodded. "It is worthy of the name. Our escort company travels all over the country, and sometimes we escort some merchant teams out of the border. We brought some back at that time."
Gu Wenheng became interested and asked, "I wonder if Senior Brother Deng still has any at home?"
Deng Yuanhang shook his head. "At that time, those chefs just thought it was strange and brought some back. The kitchen at home added a little every now and then, and it was already consumed.
It’s a pity that our escort agency hasn’t had anyone requesting an escort out of the border for a long time, and we have no way to replenish the stock.
By the way, Wenheng, how did you get this thing?"
Gu Wenheng, "I came across this by chance in the past and bought it from a merchant caravan. My wife likes to tinker with it, and I added the secret marinade passed down from our ancestors to create a new flavor for her.
It's a pity that the peppers are limited in quantity and can't be used to their full potential, which makes me pay more attention when I go out."
Zhou Ping took two gulps of water, but still felt that the taste was endless, so he continued to grab a duck claw and start chewing it.
"Wenheng, you are lucky to have married such a virtuous and capable woman. Did you know that Li Hesen went to your house to deliver a letter and came back with a sour tone, saying that a young woman can read and write?"
Of course, there are some sour remarks, such as "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent" and "his wife is always in the spotlight", etc. There is no need to say these remarks at this time.
"Don't mention that spoiler," Deng Yuanhang couldn't help but frown. It was true that Li Hesen had done too many unpleasant things in recent days, causing his originally gentle temperament to become sarcastic and mean.
It's just a scholar exam. If he fails, he can try harder next time. Now the whole academy has no good impression of him.
"Our Wenheng is really loyal. He always thinks of us when he has something delicious to eat." Deng Yuanhang completely forgot about his previous expression of disgust and spoke kindly.
"Isn't such a small box too little? I think we can finish it without running ten miles." He stared at it, "Wenheng, you must have eaten a lot of this at home. My mother brought me some cakes. Come and have a try."
Having said that, without caring whether Gu Wenheng was willing or not, he stuffed a large bag of pastries into his arms, then turned around and followed Zhou Ping to distribute them.
Gu Wenheng, "..."

Jin Qianqian was a little surprised to see Li Cuicui suddenly appear at the door of the store, "Mom, are you here alone?"
Li Cuicui pointed to a moving ox cart not far away and said, "Shulin came to the government office to exchange the red deed today. I thought I would come and take a look, so I came together."
Only then did Jin Qianqian discover the ancient book forest pulling the ox cart. There were some tribesmen and villagers sitting on the cart, and they were also looking at this place curiously.
Jin Qianqian walked towards them and said, "Everyone, would you like to come in and have some water first?"
Ancient Book Forest, "I won't go in yet. I still have to go to the government office to exchange for a red deed. I'll come back to ask for a glass of water after I'm done with my business."
"Madam Scholar, don't worry about us. We are just here to buy some things. After we finish shopping, we will gather in front of your store." The village chief said so. Even if others were curious, it would be bad for them to disagree at this time.
Jin Qianqian, "Wait a moment, everyone should come and have a glass of water and get to know the place, so that you will have a place to stay next time you come into the city."
Jin Qianqian's words touched everyone's heart. Originally, everyone was nervous about entering the city, but it was different when they had acquaintances. Even if they got lost, they could always come here.
Everyone said a few polite words and then dispersed with their things.
Instead, Li Xiaohua, who came with him, jumped out of the car and said, "As your sister-in-law, I don't even know how rich my sister-in-law is. Why don't you ask me to go and take a look?"
Jin Qianqian supported Li Cuicui, "Mom, you haven't been to my place before, come on, I'll introduce you."
Seeing Jin Qianqian supporting Li Cuicui and walking away, Li Xiaohua shook her feet, gritted her teeth and followed them, not forgetting to pick up the basket of vegetables that she was going to exchange for copper coins.
As soon as they walked out of the door, a strange fragrance filled the air, which made Li Cuicui and Li Xiaohua couldn't help but sniff.
"I didn't expect that Seventh Sister-in-law is so talented. How come I haven't seen you show off your skills before?"
Jin Qianqian, "Mom, please sit here for a while. I'll get you something to eat."
"Sister-in-law, remember to take more. We are already starving after the journey. You can't treat us badly."
Jin Qianqian ignored her and turned to walk to the counter.
"Can you calm down a bit?" Li Cuicui said with a stern face, "Although you are sisters-in-law, you are already two families after all."
"Mom, don't remind us of these things all the time. Even if we split up, we are still brothers. Besides, my sister-in-law lives a good life. She doesn't care about these little things."
Jin Qianqian came over with a tray in her hand. "No matter how good our life is, it's all saved up bit by bit. Besides, I've been married for so long, but I haven't even had a drop of water from Third Sister-in-law."
After saying that, he ignored Li Xiaohua and placed the plate in front of Li Cuicui, "Mom, try this new pastry I made. I didn't make it last time. Try it."
Li Cuicui kept nodding her head before she even ate. "Those cakes are so delicious, but you don't have to spend so much money when you go back. We can survive in the countryside as long as we have something to eat. You can keep these and sell them for money. Old Seven will have a lot of other things to spend money on in the future."
Happy May Day!!!
