The Yao family was originally just a business family. Their fortune started from the time of Old Master Yao. During the war, Old Master Yao married his eldest daughter to a minor military officer. The minor military officer had some ability and was promoted to a higher position.
Later, there were some minor disturbances, and many people were involved, even the Yao family was implicated. In the end, it was because the daughter of Old Master Yao married to the son-in-law, the young military officer, helped the Yao family to be preserved. It was also because of this that this marriage made Old Master Yao taste some sweetness, and he began to look for people with high status to marry his other daughters to.
The Yao family gradually relied on marriage alliances and the help of other sons-in-law to enter the military and political circles and became one of the many "aristocratic families" in the imperial capital. Although they are an aristocratic family in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of the top aristocratic families in the imperial capital, to be frank, they are just nouveau riche. How much ability can a family built by marriage have?
The top families in the imperial capital all rely on fighting on the battlefield and the connections and financial resources accumulated over hundreds of years. How can they be compared with those of a nouveau riche?
Gu Ranzhou was cooking in the kitchen.
Gu Ranzhou first cut the prepared chicken breast into pieces, added a spoonful of cooking wine, two spoonfuls of light soy sauce, a little half a spoonful of salt, and pepper and marinated for 10 minutes.
Then go and check if the rice is cooked.
Gu Ranzhou opened the lid and saw that the rice was cooked, so he moved the pot to another place where there was no fire.
Gu Ranzhou coated the marinated chicken breast with starch, poured oil into the pan and fried it until golden brown, then scooped it into a large bowl. He then boiled the sauce, poured in the chicken breast, sprinkled with sesame seeds, stirred evenly, and finally put it into a plate. The sugar-coated crispy pork was ready.
Gu Ranzhou was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough rice, so he steamed a lot of big white steamed buns and fried some braised pork.
Because there were so many people cooking, Gu Ranzhou could no longer use one plate to describe the food, so he had to use a pot instead.
Gu Ranzhou then fried another pot of stir-fried beans with meat. Finally, Gu Ranzhou was afraid that there would not be enough for too many people, so he fried a large pot of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Gu Ranzhou put each dish on the plate and added more when there was not enough food. He packed up the leftovers after finishing the meal and asked them to take them to the cowshed later.
Gu Ranzhou brought out the whole pot of rice. They usually ate under the big tree in the yard, but because the weather was too hot, they didn't eat in the kitchen.
Lu Zhenchuan was originally talking to Lin Feng when he saw his wife. He quickly stood up after serving the meal and ran into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Lin Feng also saw the man who had completely subdued his brother, the tyrant. He saw him holding the pot and wanted to take it, but before he could make a move, the man in front of him had already put the pot on the rack.
Gu Ranzhou stopped him and said, "It's OK if you don't have to sit there."
Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Feng had to say that Lu Zhenchuan had an extremely good eye. This person was very good-looking. Although he was a country boy, his attitude in speaking and doing things was very convincing, which made him have an indescribable feeling.
How should I put it? Yes, it's the aura of a superior.
Speaking of which, the last time he came, he felt like it was his grandfather who came.
Lu Zhen brought the Sichuan cuisine to the table and saw Lin Feng in a daze and said, "Ah Feng, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Feng was brought back to life by Lu Zhenchuan, and then he said, "Fuck..." Then he said, "Lu Zhenchuan, where did you find your wife? I've met so many people, but this is the first time I've seen someone so young and so imposing. To be honest, your wife doesn't look like a country girl at all. She looks more like someone who has been in a high position for many years."
Lu Zhenchuan said proudly: "You don't even care whose wife she is." He thought to himself, what nonsense, he was stunned when he saw his wife, let alone this kid Lin Feng.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I told you you were fat, and you're still panting. You must be incredibly lucky, otherwise how could you be so lucky to marry such a good wife even if you were to take refuge in the countryside?" He thought to himself, even though he was marrying into the family, Lu Zhenchuan still got the upper hand and acted like a spoiled brat. Damn...
Lu Zhenchuan smiled and said, "That's right."
Gu Ranzhou came out carrying the last two dishes and saw them talking. He vaguely heard something that could be used and asked, "What kind of luck is that?"
Lu Zhenchuan saw his wife carrying out the dishes and was about to take them when he said, "It's nothing, wife, let me do it."
Gu Ranzhou refused to let him go and call the children: "No need to call the children to come for dinner."
Lu Zhenchuan nodded and responded, then walked towards their room. Gu Ranzhou brought the dishes over and placed them on the table.
Lin Feng said shyly, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Gu Ranzhou frowned, then said, "Don't call me sister-in-law, call me Brother Gu."
Lin Feng asked, then said, "Oh, Brother Gu."
Gu Ranzhou responded: "Well, sit down."
Lu Zhenchuan went to their room and knocked on the door: "An An, Haoyu is out for dinner."
The door was closed because Gu Yu'an turned on the air conditioner.
Speaking of air conditioning, Gu Ranzhou originally wanted to install a fan, but Gu Yu'an's bed was a double bed, and Gu Ranzhou only had a floor fan. If he installed a floor fan, then only when he got out of bed could he feel the wind, but not when he got up in bed. So Gu Ranzhou simply installed an air conditioner directly, which was much more convenient. For future convenience, he installed air conditioners in the bedroom as well.
"Here I come."
With a creak, the door was opened.
Gu Yu'an and Lu Haoyu had already turned off the air conditioner and tablet and walked out together.
Gu Yu'an asked, "Dad, have you eaten yet?"
"Um."
Five people sat at a table.
Gu Ranzhou served them some food.
Lin Feng stared at the rich food on the table and said, "You guys made too much, didn't you? You didn't prepare it specially!"
Lu Zhenchuan didn't think anything was wrong: "Stop talking nonsense, it's just that there are too many people, so we made too much food."
Lin Feng said, "Brother Gu, I'll pay for this month's meals later." He thought to himself what kind of family this is. Even when they had plenty of land, they couldn't afford to eat meat and fish.
Gu Ranzhou shook his head and took a bite of his food: "No need."
Lin Feng wanted to say something else: "Brother Gu."
Lu Zhenchuan interrupted him and said, "Alright, Afeng, if your brother Gu says he doesn't need it, then don't give it to him."
Gu Ranzhou picked up a piece of candied pork with chopsticks for An An and Hao Yu respectively, and then said to Lin Feng, "I see you didn't pack any winter clothes, did you?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Because we had to hide from people this time, I didn't bring many clothes, just two or three pieces."
Gu Ranzhou said, "When you have money later, go buy some clothes. Although winter in the south doesn't snow as much as in the north, it's still bitterly cold. It's best to buy thicker clothes. Don't skimp on what you shouldn't."
Lin Feng agreed: "Okay."
