Chapter 295 Even if you can't be cured, you are still my child
After the two pots of wolf meat of different colors were marinated, Gu Yanchen pointed at the red pot and asked, "What did you put in it? Why does my nose hurt a little?"
"It must hurt, this is chili powder..."
"Chili powder?" Gu Yanchen knew about chili peppers, but it was the first time he knew that chili peppers could be turned into powder.
Ran Qingxuan cooked the wolf meat into two different flavors, one spicy and one cumin-flavored. By then, basically everyone, whether men, women or children, would be able to accept it.
Due to limited pots and pans, there was a lot of wolf meat left after removing the bones and internal organs. Fortunately, it was icy and snowy, so laying a layer of waterproof cloth on the ground saved a lot of trouble.
Many hands make light work. After the men peeled the wolf skins, they followed the women to cut the meat. Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen cooperated with each other, and in the end they could only marinate the meat on waterproof cloth.
Since they had limited rapeseed oil, after Ran Qingxuan marinated enough meat, he asked everyone to cut the meat into larger pieces.
Four large pots were placed on the fire to burn oil at the same time, and the aroma of rapeseed soon wafted through the fields.
Bu Wei finally figured out what Ran Qingxuan was going to do. With a hint of anticipation, he watched her pour wolf meat of different colors into the pot one by one.
The moment the red wolf meat came into contact with the hot oil, bubbles began to sizzle. After a few puffs, a pungent smell spread among the crowd.
Sneezing and coughing sounds continued, but soon people smelled a mouth-watering fragrance.
The spatula was almost smoking from being swung by Ran Qingxuan. Squatting in front of four pots, her forehead was soon covered with sweat.
Gu Yanchen dealt with the remaining wolf meat, washed his hands, and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Ran Qingxuan.
"Even if you don't wipe it, you'll be the first one to eat it when it comes out of the pot!"
"I know..." Gu Yanchen slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled in a worthless manner.
Bu Wei and a group of officials were so moved by the loving scene of the couple that they couldn't help but smile.
The women washed their hands and huddled together to keep warm. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but tease each other in a low voice, and the sound of laughter was endless. If you didn't know what was going on, you would probably think that this group of people were just out for sightseeing.
The mother and son of the Shang family sat beside a fire with little flames, occasionally turning their heads to look at the families who were fighting fiercely with the officials.
In addition to hatred in He Qin's eyes, she would say something in the ear of her youngest son Shang Zifan from time to time.
There were also the Li family members. When the fragrance wafted over, Li Xinyuan took out a half-eaten vegetable steamed bun from his arms and started to eat it while smelling the aroma.
Zhao Chunxiu didn't know why, but with her back to everyone, her body would occasionally tremble, and she didn't know if she was sick.
In short, several families have begun to automatically ignore their two families, and even looking at them feels dirty.
But the officers assigned by Bu Wei to guard the prisoners had no choice but to watch, especially since Li Si had kidnapped someone and escaped two hours ago, they dared not relax at all.
Li Si had already woken up, with shackles around her neck, and even lying down to rest became a luxury for her.
Seeing that the three families of Gu, Chen and Xiao could now get along well with the chief of the officials and even share the money after selling the wolf equally, he wished that fire would ignite in his eyes and burn all of them to death.
Old Madam Gu looked at the interaction between her youngest son and daughter-in-law, and wiped her eyes with satisfaction.
"Mom, why are you still crying? My sixth brother and his wife are so close. I'm afraid that soon after we settle down, we will have a new baby in our family."
Sister-in-law Zhou Furong gently patted the old lady's back to comfort her, and did not notice the slightly lonely look of Gu Yanzong in the wheelchair.
Third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er was observant and noticed it, so she gently tugged at Zhou Furong's sleeve.
"Sister-in-law..."
Zhou Furong turned to look at Chen Wan'er, but saw that her eyes kept glancing at Gu Yanzong, and she immediately understood what she had said.
For Gu Yanzong, who didn't know when he would be able to stand up again, the topic of children was too heavy.
But he didn't want to make his wife worry, so he looked in the direction of the two of them and smiled faintly.
"Yes, my sixth brother and his wife are so young, they must have many children. When the time comes, we can each hold one and play with it..."
Old Madam Gu also knew the bitterness in her eldest son's heart, but she still had to pretend not to care. She patted Gu Yanzong's arm gently and said angrily.
"Qing Xuan is such a good doctor, how could he watch you, his elder brother, be like this all the time? Even if he can't cure you, you are still my child, and that won't change!"
With a choked throat, Gu Yanzong turned his head and pulled the blanket closer around him.
"I know mother..."
Zhou Furong didn't dare to continue this topic, so she had to stand up and pretend nothing had happened and walked to Ran Qingxuan.
Ran Qingxuan thought that the children were greedy and came to her to get some food, so he found a bowl, filled it with a large bowl of cumin-flavored food and handed it to his sister-in-law.
Before Zhou Furong could come to her senses, she found a bowl of fragrant wolf meat jerky in her hands. After she left, feeling both amused and helpless, the officials, who had been impatient for a long time, swarmed around her.
Ran Qingxuan was not stingy at all and filled two plates with the two flavors. Bu Wei couldn't wait to take a bite, chewing carefully to savor the flavor.
"Buchatou, how does this taste? Can it be sold for a good price?"
Bu Wei reluctantly swallowed the jerky wolf meat in his mouth and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"The meat is firm but not dry, and the taste is fragrant and spicy. Although my mouth is still a little numb, I can't stop eating it. Your skillful hands and your creative ideas have made this worthless wolf meat into something extraordinary!"
When the remaining officers heard this, they did not stop putting the dried meat into their mouths. Some even took out burning knives and stood there, drinking the meat one sip at a time.
These wines were originally prepared to warm the body in cold weather, but as soon as all the officials took the first sip, they felt that the wine was missing and the taste was lacking.
Soon, the first pot of wolf meat jerky was shared by several families and officials. Gu Yanchen sat next to Ran Qingxuan and became a meat-passing machine.
It was not until the resentful man had a mouthful of delicious wolf meat in his mouth that he turned around and saw Ran Qingxuan looking at him with a smile.
"My dear, I fed you the first bite with my own hands!"
There were instant sounds of teasing "ouch" all around, and it was known that Ran Qingxuan had not held his fart well. Gu Yanchen's face flushed and he opened his mouth slightly. Due to the close distance, Ran Qingxuan's oily fingertips accidentally brushed across the peak of his lips.
A tingling and numb feeling instantly spread throughout his body. Gu Yanchen's throat tightened and he almost choked.
In order to hide his panic at the moment, he could only lower his head and pretend to chew seriously.
"Is it tasty?"
"Delicious...delicious..." Gu Yanchen's mind was not on the dried meat at the moment. He was afraid that if he looked up, Ran Qingxuan would see his red face.
Ran Qingxuan thought he was savoring the food, so he stopped paying attention and turned to Bu Wei and said, "Boss Bu, now you know that this wolf meat is not worthless, right?"
"How can you not know it after you've already eaten it? We'll go to Sitong City tomorrow night. The people there are rich, and this wolf meat will definitely be snapped up as soon as it's released."
