Su Xiaowu stepped forward and patted Qiu Shun's shoulder with a face full of pity. "Old Qiu, go wash your face. I'll take care of this fire!"
Qiu Shun shook hands with Su Xiaowu gratefully, feeling that the kid still had some conscience. "Thank you!"
He stood up, intending to go out to wash up, when he heard Su Xiaowu sigh behind him and say, "Poor thing!"
Qiu Shun paused. He... so what if his fire-making skills are a little lacking? And now that brat Su Xiaowu is pitying him?
While Su Xiaowu was tending the fire, Gu Chen had already lifted the pot lid, and the aroma of the braised food instantly filled the entire room.
Sisi sniffed hard, rubbed her nose with her little hand, and leaned closer to Xiaoruanruan to ask, "Xiaoruanruan, does this smell seem familiar?"
Little Ruanruan was so tempted by the braised beef, rabbit, chicken drumsticks, and two huge ostrich feet in the pot that she didn't even think about what her sister was saying. She casually replied, "Yes, it's a familiar smell. Uncle Liu's braised food also smells like this, but Brother Gu Chen's smells even better and tastes even better than Uncle Liu's."
Uncle Liu, braised food...
By linking these two keywords together, Xixi instantly pieced together a complete story: ever since Uncle Liu discovered that her special medicine recipe was very suitable for making braised food, he had been using her recipe to make braised food.
Her expression changed, and she quickly ran into the house.
She searched her box and the small table in the room where she kept her bottles and jars, but couldn't find her special medicine.
She rushed into the kitchen again, and before she could even ask Gu Chen, she saw the pretty little jar she used to store her special medicine on the cabinet where the seasonings were kept.
She moved with heavy little steps toward the spice cabinet and sadly took down her little jar.
The small jar was empty; not a single drop of her special medicine remained…
She sobbed sadly twice.
At this moment, Gu Chen had already taken out an ostrich foot from the pot, which was bigger than a pig's trotter. He then roasted the ostrich foot on a small charcoal stove next to him before wrapping both sides with brown paper and handing it to Xiao Ruanruan. Xiao Ruanruan hugged the ostrich foot with her two little paws and gnawed on it happily.
Ostrich feet have much more meat than chicken feet, and the tendons inside are especially chewy. Plus, Gu Chen's cooking skills are excellent; they're braised to perfection and roasted to perfection, making them incredibly delicious.
After taking a bite, she immediately wanted to share it with her sister, only to see her sister holding a small jar and drawing circles on the ground.
She was just about to ask her sister what was wrong.
Su Yiqing and Li Mo'er returned from outside.
As soon as Li Mo'er entered, she took two deep breaths. "It smells so good!"
Then, she saw Gu Chen and greeted him naturally, "Did Xiao Gu make the braised food?"
Gu Chen nodded, his face expressionless, but he still obediently replied, "Yes, I used the braising spices that came from the spice cabinet. Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good; the braising spices are especially well-prepared."
Li Mo'er laughed and said, "That wasn't made by me, it was made by Qianqian. I didn't even remember to bring the braising sauce. It was Qianqian who brought it."
As she spoke, she looked at Xixi and said, "Xixi, when I was packing your luggage last night, I saw that you brought a jar of braising spices, so I just put it in the kitchen."
Sisi squatted on the ground with a sad face, took the ostrich foot from Xiao Ruanruan's hand, took a big bite, and whispered, "That's not braising sauce, that's my special medicine."
Little Ruanruan looked at the delicious braised ostrich feet in her sister's hand, and she had only taken one bite when her sister took it away.
However, considering that the ostrich feet were so delicious and were made with her sister's special medicine, she decided to give them to her sister. At the same time, she thought she should also comfort her sister.
Before she could even think of words of comfort, Qianqian, after taking a bite of ostrich leg, perked up completely, straightened her back, her eyes shining, and took another big bite. While chewing, she mumbled, "So delicious! The braised food made with my special medicine is really different. It's much better than Uncle Liu's!"
Little Ruanruan stared blankly at her sister's dramatic transformation in less than a minute, blinking her big, bright eyes a few times.
It seems my sister doesn't need her comforting.
She toddled around with her little feet, grabbed a chicken leg, and started munching on it.
Gu Chen watched her eat with relish, his eyes and brows filled with satisfaction. He knew he could only feel at ease feeding his wife himself.
When he scooped the braised food out of the pot, Qiu Shun, who had already washed himself, also washed the small fish and crabs that Xiao Ruanruan and the others had brought back.
Gu Chen coated the small fish and crabs with eggs and flour, then deep-fried them. The rich aroma attracted all the children in the village.
These small fish and crabs were caught by the village children, and after they cooked them, they naturally wanted to share them with their friends.
Little Ruanruan, with her chubby little hands, carried a large plate filled with fried fish and crabs, and shuffled her little feet to each of her older brothers and sisters, offering them some food.
There was no formality among the children; they all sat in a circle and ate heartily.
The village children already thought Su Yiqing, Su Xiaowu, and Su Lei were good-looking enough, but now that they saw Gu Chen, they were utterly amazed.
It wasn't just young girls like Peach Blossom and Little Lotus who were too shy to look Gu Chen in the eye.
Even the new friends Su Xiaowu had just made that day quietly pulled him aside and whispered, "Xiaowu, is this new guy your brother too? How come he's so handsome?"
