After Gu Ranzhou left, Lu Zhenchuan looked at the child for a while, then took a hatchet and a rope and headed towards the back mountain. There wasn't much firewood left at home, so he couldn't let his wife go up the mountain, as it was too dangerous.
This time I went up the mountain to hunt some prey for my wife to eat. Although I will be able to eat meat in a day or two, I dare not eat too much. This time, I took the opportunity to go up the mountain to collect firewood and bring back some prey.
He has no idea how hypocritical he is. Other people may not have any minced meat on the table for two or three months, but he thinks it is not enough to eat it once every one or two days. If this kind of face is shown to others, he will probably get a beating.
Lu Zhenchuan just happened to come to this village. He had been doing farm work to earn work points for almost two months and had no time to go up the mountain.
Thinking of going up the mountain to collect firewood and hunt some prey, Lu Zhenchuan was walking through the woods. Suddenly, he stopped and looked around.
Lu Zhenchuan grew up in the army and received military training since childhood. He has an instinctive reaction to danger. He is also a warrior, which makes him very vigilant. That's why he stopped and observed his surroundings.
Lu Zhenchuan's ears twitched as he heard a distant sound—a wolf howling! He thought to himself, "I really didn't check the almanac before going out. I accidentally encountered a wolf. One is fine, but this is a whole pack. I can only avoid them and stay away from them."
Gu Ranzhou was walking on the road feeling the cool breeze. The trees around him were swaying gently, and the cicadas' chirping was no longer as anxious and urgent as it was at noon, but rather very leisurely.
When Gu Ranzhou returned home, Lu Zhenchuan wasn't there, and An An was still asleep. He figured it wouldn't take him long to go out. Most importantly, he had received news from the village chief that the entire village would soon have electricity. With electricity coming, it was time for him to catch up on his plans. Gu Ranzhou thought of Lu Zhenchuan again. If their relationship worked out well, it would make everything easier. If it didn't, it wouldn't be a good thing. After all, having this person living at home would make everything difficult.
One month, one month! Lu Zhenchuan, please don't let me down.
Gu Ranzhou sat under the tree in the yard for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark and Lu Zhenchuan had not returned yet, he turned around and went to the kitchen to cook and boil water.
An An had slept long enough today, and then walked towards An An's room.
With a creak, the door was opened by Gu Ranzhou. Gu Ranzhou walked in and saw that An An was still covered with the air-conditioning blanket he took out from the space. Maybe it was because of the hot weather, An An's whole face was red, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Now he could only bear it a little longer. It was not that he had no other choice, but there was an air conditioner and a large floor fan in the space. This fan was because the old man could not stand the air conditioner. He bought many brands and even a lot of solar panels, but he couldn't take them out now. If he took them out for no reason, something might happen.
"An An, An An wake up, let's not sleep anymore, otherwise we won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Okay, An An, be obedient."
Gu Ranzhou picked up An An, and An An slowly opened his eyes but had not yet come to his senses. He could only let Gu Ranzhou do whatever he wanted. Gu Ranzhou wet a towel in the basin, then wrung out the towel and wiped An An's face with the towel, gradually cooling the child's face. It was because of the coolness on his face that An An slowly came to his senses.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside, followed by several bangs. Gu Ranzhou guessed that Lu Zhenchuan had returned. He then walked out of the room carrying An An and saw Lu Zhenchuan fiddling with the firewood he had picked up.
Seeing Gu Ranzhou carrying the child out, Lu Zhenchuan asked, "Did I make too much noise and disturb you?"
"No, An An slept for a long time and just came to his senses. What did you hunt?"
"A few pheasants. I saw them while collecting firewood. I'll kill two tonight and keep the rest for later."
"Okay, will you take care of it?"
"It should be fine."
"Then it's up to you, Comrade Lu. The organization believes in you."
Lu Zhenchuan did not refuse. After preparing the firewood, he carried the chicken into the kitchen.
Gu Ranzhou had already prepared the bath water and gave An An a refreshing bath.
Gu Yu'an no longer felt sticky.
Gu Ranzhou put clothes on An An and carried him out.
Lu Zhenchuan has already processed the pheasant.
"Why don't you just grill it? You don't have to open the pot anymore. You've already cooked the rice."
"That's fine. Since you killed two, let's roast them together. There are seasonings in the kitchen. You should know how to roast them, right?"
"Of course I can, but I don't know how to use the seasonings in the kitchen." Lu Zhenchuan insisted that he could, but there were quite a lot of seasonings in the kitchen that he didn't know how to use.
Gu Ranzhou glanced at Lu Zhenchuan and said, "You grill it, and I'll add the seasoning. Is that okay?"
"Um."
Gu Ranzhou removed all the necessary parts of the pheasant, then washed the whole chicken, wiped it dry, and made three cuts on the breast and hind legs to make it more flavorful. He then mixed salt, pepper, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic into a chicken marinade, and applied the marinade evenly on the surface and inner cavity of the chicken.
Gu Ranzhou had been cooking for quite some time and had tasted everyone's taste, so when he prepared the marinade, he also adjusted it according to everyone's taste.
Because the preparation time was a bit short, Gu Ranzhou urged Lu Zhenchuan to take a shower. After all, he had boiled quite a lot of bath water.
Of course, Gu Ranzhou couldn't bake it like he did in his previous life. After all, he used an oven, and it was unlikely that there was an oven here.
So find a small clean place, use some relatively flat stones, and cut out a baking oven. This way it doesn't take up space, and you can use it anytime if you need it in the future.
