Chapter 50: Make Up for the Wedding Banquet

Got it?

What's happened?

When Gu Ye came back at noon, he smelled a foul odor when he walked to the door of his house.

I thought Shen Zhiyou had been taught to work harder by someone, so she went to the toilet to fetch manure and brought it back to water the family's private plot.

Gu Ye's mood was quite complicated.

When he talked about growing vegetables in the yard, he suggested adding some farmyard manure so that the vegetables would grow better.

Shen Zhiyou refused to agree no matter what she said, and her attitude of opposition was very firm and fierce.

He could only give up and finally decided to get some wood ash.

Wood ash is also a good thing. It not only enriches the soil but also reduces pests.

During those days, I couldn’t hang clothes in the front yard, and I tried to wear less light-colored clothes at home, otherwise the gaps between my fingernails and my clothes would be covered with black dust.

Wood ash is good, but farm manure is even better. If she really brought it back, wouldn’t the vegetables at home grow better?

But, when Gu Ye heard her retching, he felt uncomfortable. He was afraid that she was competing with someone, was not convinced, and was provoked by someone.

He quickly quickened his pace and walked into the house.

Before I even reached the house, I saw the bag of pig offal.

Gu Ye: ".....What's wrong? Why did you suddenly think of buying pig offal? This stuff stinks."

When Fu Chunmei heard that it was pig offal, she felt inexplicably disappointed, and her tone was full of regret: "I thought I was pregnant, but this pig offal is too smelly."

As she spoke she felt like vomiting, so she quickly ran out of the yard and told Shen Zhiyou that she would come back to see her later.

Shen Zhiyou vomited so much that tears came out. She shook her head, unable to speak, and raised her hand weakly.

Gu Ye put the thing aside, then went to get a basin of water and some soap.

Shen Zhiyou used soap several times and didn't stop until her hands were almost peeling.

Gu Ye looked at it with amusement, "You know this thing, no one eats it in the countryside, why did you want to buy it?"

Shen Zhiyou got angry just thinking about it.

The book only briefly mentions the stench of pig intestines, and spends a lot of space talking about how delicious, soft and chewy they are, and how juicy they are!

Shen Zhiyou had never eaten anything so delicious.

It's just curiosity.

But she definitely couldn't say that to Gu Ye, so she said that she heard someone say that cleaned pig intestines taste better than pork belly, and it's free, so she brought some back.

And if it's really delicious, they can also prepare some pig offal for their wedding banquet this Sunday, which can save a lot of money.

Gu Ye almost laughed when he heard it.

They were almost starving to death and no one ate this stuff.

But seeing how much she wanted to eat it, and also because they wanted to save money for the wedding banquet, the man was silent for a moment, "How do you make it? Let me try."

Shen Zhiyou's eyes widened, "Aren't you afraid of the stink?"

"It's OK, not too smelly."

When they were training in the wild, they had spent several hours in a pile of cow dung and were used to it.

Gu Ye and his friends have a very long lunch break at noon.

I happened to have some wood ash at home, so I took a basin of water, threw the pig intestines and the wood ash into the basin, turned it over and rubbed it bit by bit.

Shen Zhiyou was afraid of the smell, but she also didn't want Gu Ye to wash pig intestines alone outside, so she stuffed some cotton into his nostrils and squatted on the ground to accompany him.

Someone passed by outside and smelled the stench. He looked into the yard and saw two people squatting face to face.

I was shocked: "Oh my god, you two are pooping in the yard?!"

Gu Ye: “….”

Shen Zhiyou was stunned, her face turned red instantly, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Maladi was also very embarrassed when she saw that they were washing pig intestines.

This couple doesn't do anything serious at home in broad daylight.

Ran to the yard and squatted down to wash the pig intestines.

Even if they were washing while standing, she wouldn't think that the two of them were pooping in the yard.

He smiled awkwardly and ran away quickly with the firewood.

After everyone left, Shen Zhiyou looked at Gu Ye's aggrieved, speechless, and serious expression, and the corners of her mouth raised. Then, she laughed out loud: "Hahahahahahahaha"

Gu Ye: “…”

Okay, as long as she is happy.

The man continued to wash the pig intestines with his head down, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

It took more than twenty minutes to wash it clean.

After washing, blanch the ginger and scallion in water for two minutes. When you take them out, the smell is basically gone.

Cut into sections and add oil to the pan.

Gu Ye was reluctant to add oil, so he only added a little bit. Shen Zhiyou's eyes hurt when she saw it, so she asked him to pour a little more.

It's said in the book that when making this dish, you have to be willing to add seasoning.

There was so much oil that Gu Ye’s eyes hurt.

But now that it has come to this, if I am still reluctant to give up this or that, the food I make will not taste good and all my previous efforts will have been wasted.

Just listen to Shen Zhiyou and put ginger slices, chopped pepper, soy sauce, salt, star anise and Sichuan pepper in like they are free.

This is a basin-shaped area with a hot and humid climate. Due to the climate and terrain, the ingredients and spices are particularly abundant.

There are fragrant leaf trees and so on on the road.

These things are extremely expensive in their hometown, but they are everywhere here, so Gu Ye doesn't feel bad about putting them away.

As you fry, the sizzling aroma comes out.

Finally, cover the pot and simmer for another twenty minutes.

After taking it out of the pot, the two of them looked at the smooth and soft pig intestines and swallowed their saliva silently.

Picking up the chopsticks, Shen Zhiyou picked up a piece, blew on it, and put it to the man's mouth, "You've worked hard today, the first piece is for you."

Before at home.

He is the second child, so any good things in the family are given to his younger brothers first, then to his eldest brother, and finally to him.

Like today, the first bite was actually for myself.

The man looked at the woman deeply, his throat rolling, the emotions inside were so strong that they could not be dissolved.

Shen Zhiyou felt guilty when he looked at her.

Could it be that he guessed that I asked him to eat first because I was afraid that this thing would be too unpalatable and asked him to help try it first?

She bit her lip and was about to put away her chopsticks when Gu Ye took a step forward, opened his mouth, and ate.

Needless to say, the aroma of the stir-fried peppers, ginger and garlic is great, and it becomes even more flavorful after being simmered for another twenty minutes.

And the taste was exactly as Shen Zhiyou imagined, with tough intestines and tender meat. The man chewed it twice and nodded vigorously: "Delicious."

Shen Zhiyou's eyes lit up and she quickly ate a piece herself.

"Mmm, so delicious! Even better than meat!"

Isn’t it better than meat?

Gu Ye had just returned from the cafeteria with two dishes.

Now no one wants to eat those two dishes, so they can finish all the rice with this plate of pig intestines.

The taste was even better than they imagined.

And it’s free. Although it’s a bit disgusting when processing, Gu Ye thinks it’s worth it.

So they asked Xiao He to help them get a bunch of pig offal from the meat processing factory.

Taking into account the close relationship with Gu Ye, including the fact that Gu Ye's comrades-in-arms and his family were invited to his wedding, at least two tables had to be set up.

The two went to the cafeteria one day in advance to borrow tables and chairs.

I also ordered a pot of rice and steamed buns.

As for the dishes, Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye are exhausted from cooking, and the food they cook may not even be delicious.

They simply spent two dollars to hire the chef from the cafeteria to cook for them. After spending the money, they bought pork belly for three dollars and a pound of pork bones.

There are bone soups, stewed meats, and pig intestines.

Three meat dishes, no matter where, such a meal is excellent.

They treated everyone to a meal, and no one came empty-handed.

Pillowcases, handkerchiefs, fruits, and eggs are the most common gifts these days.

When these things were piled on the table, the originally empty house suddenly became alive with life!

The two of them are busy from morning to night, and the house is bustling all day long.

Wang Guizhi felt sorry for what happened last time, so she came early this time to help her.

The teacher's lover was so warm to her. Shen Zhiyou's personality was neither timid nor strong-willed, and she smiled generously.

During that day, she basically became familiar with several military wives here.

I just kept hearing them mention another person, and they compared Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye's meal tonight with that person's meal several times.

This made Shen Zhiyou curious about the military wife who had gone to her parents' home to do some business and had not returned yet.

But...Liu Qian, why does this name sound more and more familiar?

Shen Zhiyou, who was so tired that her brain was almost a mess, heard them say that Liu Qian's parents' home was in the capital, and suddenly remembered -

Isn't she the real city dweller who made He Qing feel ashamed of herself in the book, and Jiang Wenbin's white moonlight elder sister? !
