Chapter 768: Go chew corn cobs
He introduced himself, "I'm Gao Zheng."
Tang Jianye received a call from Gao Zheng out of the blue and was very surprised. "Xiao Zheng, why are you calling me?"
Gao Zheng said calmly, "It's nothing. I just drank with you last time and I got you drunk. I've been feeling bad about it ever since. I just came back from a business trip and I called you to apologize."
Tang Jianye was a carefree person, and after hearing Gao Zheng's words, he smiled heartily, "Oh, what is there to be sorry about?
Isn't the purpose of drinking to get drunk?
No, don't worry about it. It's my honor that you can drink with me."
Tang Jianye was so easy to get along with. Gao Zheng had a smile on his handsome face and said, "By the way, I promised Tang Ye that I would treat him to a meal when I come back. Is he home?"
Invite Tang Ye to dinner?
Tang Jianye was even more flattered, "Why are you treating this little bastard to a meal?"
"I agreed to it last time when I was drunk."
Gao Zheng's reason was, "Since I promised, I must do it. I will go and pick him up."
Tang Jianye naturally believed what Gao Zheng said, as he was a man who never spoke easily but whose every word was taken as a nail.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Zheng, since you promised, you can just treat him to a bowl of noodles some other day. If he doesn't want to eat today, I'll tell him when that little bastard comes back. He will be so happy."
Gao Zheng's expression was slightly tense, "No?"
Tang Jianye smiled and replied, "Yes, Xiaoye went to Jingchuan's house to eat corn cobs today."
Gao Zheng didn't listen, so he asked again, "What are you chewing?"
"It's corn cobs. Jingchuan's parents came and brought corn cobs they had just picked from the fields. They are really delicious. Jingchuan is cooking them over there, so let them go over there."
Go to Gu Jingchuan to eat corn cobs?
He caught a word, several of them.
Gao Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Did Tang Ye and Jing Yue go?"
"Yes, the siblings have been gone for quite a while."
"I see."
Gao Zheng was about to hang up the phone, "Then I'll hang up first."
I have called him Brother Jianye for more than ten years, but now it is a bit difficult to call him that.
Tang Jianye on the other end of the phone didn't notice anything, and before hanging up, he shouted, "Xiao Zheng, let's drink together some other day."
Gao Zheng was very easy to talk to, "Okay, I'll treat you."
After hanging up the phone, he took out his IC card and planned to go to the bus station to take a bus.
………
At this time, in the courtyard of Gu Jingchuan's house.
The honeycomb coal stove borrowed from Uncle Zhang's house has just started to burn well.
The stove in Uncle Zhang's house is large, filled with large honeycomb coal, and has great fire power.
Gu Jingqi and Jin Zhengtai originally went to buy an iron pot, but the owner of a gold shop introduced them to an aluminum alloy pressure cooker that has been very popular recently, saying that it can be used to cook potatoes and other things in just ten minutes.
The two of them picked out an extra-large pressure cooker and brought it back.
I went to the entrance of the alley and bought ten honeycomb briquettes.
At this moment, Gu Decheng, who had taken two hours to recover after meeting his in-laws, was burning the honeycomb coal stove, while Wang Guixiang was cleaning the newly bought pot.
Tang Min and Tang Jingyue took Tang Ye and others to peel corn husks.
The corn husk cannot be peeled off completely. Leaving the bottom layer of husk to protect the corn kernels is also more hygienic.
Gu Jingxiu also washed a basin of potatoes.
They were new potatoes dug from the family's fields. There were about a dozen of them in total. Gu Jingxiu washed them all and planned to cook them with corn.
Gu Jinghui originally wanted to peel corn husks with Tang Min and Tang Jingyue and chat with the city people, but as soon as he got close, he was driven away by Gu Jingchuan.
Gu Jingchuan said, "Brother, go hold the child, no need for help."
"oh."
Gu Jinghui couldn't stay at home and wanted to go out. He couldn't understand why corn and potatoes were not tasty?
These city people seem to have never seen the world.
He had nothing to do and could only sit with Wang Ying and watch them work.
Tang Jingyue glanced at Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying and whispered to Tang Min, "Is that Gu Jingchuan's elder brother and his wife?"
Tang Min nodded, "Yes."
"They are both born of the same mother, but why is there such a big gap between his eldest brother and Jingchuan and the others?"
Tang Jingyue had just arrived for a while and had not spoken to Gu Jinghui and his wife, but she could tell at a glance that the couple had very different personalities and temperaments from his younger brother and sister.
Tang Min was working and said, "Even ten fingers are not the same length, let alone a person. The boss is uneducated, lazy and greedy, that's how it is."
"Too."
Tang Jingyue glanced at the little girl in Wang Ying's arms and said, "That child is very cute."
This was the first time for Tang Jingyue and Tang Ye to do this kind of work. Both siblings found it very interesting and were very motivated, but they were never as fast as Tang Min.
Tang Jingyue couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Min, why are you peeling so fast?"
Tang Min continued working, peeling off a corn husk and casually replied, "I've been used to it since I was a child."
After hearing Tang Min's answer, Tang Jingyue's expression became a little gloomy.
I have been used to doing this since I was a child. Such simple words contain so much sadness.
After peeling the corn husks, Wang Guixiang brought the pot over and filled it with corn.
Tang Min collected all the corn silks and put them in a small bag.
Gu Jingchuan asked in confusion, "Xiao Min, why are you pretending to be corn silk?"
"This is very useful. Keep it in a safe place. It will be useful."
Wang Guixiang put all the peeled corn into the pot, "Xiao Min, cook the corn first. The potatoes won't fit in and will taste bad. I heard from Jing Qi that this pot cooks very quickly, so cook them in two pots."
"Okay, Mom, you decide."
Wang Guixiang had heard of this kind of pressure cooker in her hometown.
Last time, a man came to the village to exchange rags for bowls and pots. He had a small pressure cooker in his car, but it took a lot of scrap copper and iron to exchange for a pressure cooker. After searching their house thoroughly, they still couldn't get enough rags to exchange for a pot, so they had to give up.
Unexpectedly, it was used in the city today.
The corns were put into the large pressure cooker, filling the whole pot and there were still some left.
Tang Min specially reserved two for Shi Xu, packed up the others, and said, "Send these to Uncle Zhang's family and let them cook them."
I originally wanted to send a cooked dish to Grandpa Zhang, but there are too many people in his family, so I'm afraid there won't be enough for others after it's cooked.
Grandpa Zhang also came over today and enthusiastically helped to light the honeycomb coal stove. It turned out that Gu Decheng knew more about honeycomb coal stoves than Grandpa Zhang and he was able to tinker with it in no time.
"I'll take it over."
Gu Jingqi quickly took the remaining four corn cobs and delivered them to the door opposite.
Gu Jingxiu started frying green peppers again, and at the same time poured a bowl of oil and chili peppers on them to dip the potatoes in.
Gu Jingxiu had just finished cutting the peppers and ran out of the kitchen again, "There's no salt left. I'll go buy some salt."
Tang Min said, "Jingxiu, let me go, you cut the peppers first."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll give you some change."
Tang Min casually took the 10 yuan that Gu Jingxiu handed over.
Tang Jingyue had just taken Xiao Cuihua from Wang Ying and was holding her. When she saw Tang Min was about to go out, she followed with the child in her arms, "Xiao Min, I'll go with you."
