Chapter 14: Exposed Two days passed in the blink of an eye,...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, through Gu Ruyi's unremitting efforts, she finally learned how to make pagoda meat.
Seeing that there were ten more check-in points in the system, Gu Ruyi felt a little relieved.
There was no way. Although she had some money, it didn't last long and would be spent eventually.
Besides, without a ticket, Gu Ruyi had to go to the black market if she wanted to buy some food and drinks. She was at risk of being caught at any time, which was too dangerous.
It’s different if there are check-in points. You can just go to the store where you need to sign in. Even if there is an error, it will be roughly the same. You don’t have to spend money or take risks. How great is that.
Having learned a new dish, Gu Ruyi was eager to try the new dish she had made, thinking about how delicious the braised pork she had made a few days ago was.
However, the pork belly that was signed in has been consumed by Gu Ruyi in the past few days, and the pagoda meat must be made with pork belly. If one wants to pay tribute to the internal organs, he can only go to the butcher shop first.
The nearest butcher's shop was not far from where Gu Ruyi lived, and they arrived there quickly.
Although it was only seven o'clock in the morning, there was already a long line of people queuing up to buy meat, and Gu Ruyi was obviously late.
Fortunately, pork belly is not as popular as fatty meat these days. When it was Gu Ruyi's turn, there was exactly one pound of pork belly left.
Gu Ruyi only had one pound of meat ticket, and he spent 72 cents to buy the pound of meat. Still feeling it was not enough, Gu Ruyi spent another check-in point to sign in again.
"Ding! Successfully signed in at the meat shop in the meat processing plant, and received three pounds of meat tickets, three pounds of pork belly, three pounds of pig's trotters, and three pounds of pig's large intestines."
Hey, there are pig’s trotters and pig’s intestines, not bad!
These two are Gu Ruyi's favorites, especially the pig's large intestine, which is made into dry pot pig intestine. She can eat a whole plate of it at a time.
It’s just that her cooking skills are not up to par yet, and the dry pot pig intestines she makes may not taste good. In order not to waste the pig intestines, she decided to wait a while!
After buying the meat, Gu Ruyi went home.
On the other side, Qi Lin at the intersection had an extremely gloomy face, as if someone owed him eight million.
Passersby thought he was an evil spirit and kept their distance from him.
The thick-skinned Wang Erhu also keenly noticed that something was wrong with Qi Lan. He stood behind Qi Lan like a quail, not daring to breathe, and complaining in his heart.
well! Brother Qi is now even more moody than his mother during her menstrual period. When will things be back to normal?
He can't bear it anymore!
Just when Wang Erhu felt that life was getting difficult, he suddenly saw Qi Lin, who was originally standing well, suddenly rush out, and his face instantly turned from cloudy to sunny.
What is this for?
Wang Erhu chased after them miserably, and soon he watched his brother Qi grab a girl's hand.
It's over. Brother Qi has gone crazy and actually behaved like a hooligan towards a little girl in the street. Wang Erhu was so scared that his mask appeared on his face.
Gu Ruyi was also startled when someone suddenly grabbed her.
When Gu Ruyi found out that the person who was pulling her was Qi Lian, her heart began to beat fast.
Why did Qi Lian arrest her? Could it be that he discovered her disguise last time?
It shouldn’t be! She is so confident in her makeup skills that even her own mother can't recognize her after seeing her put on makeup.
"You... who are you? What do you want to do?" Gu Ruyi raised her eyebrows. No matter what Qi Lin was going to do, she would not show her weakness first.
The person in front of me had a slightly red face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and was breathtakingly beautiful.
If an ordinary man had close contact with such a pretty girl, his heart would probably be pounding like thunder and his face would turn red with nervousness.
But Qi Lin was just the opposite. Not only did the smile disappear from his lips, but there was also a hint of doubt between his brows.
"I'm sorry, did I recognize the wrong person?"
There was a hint of irritability and loss in the clear voice, but Gu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoosh! It’s good that you didn’t recognize it.
If this was recognized, she wouldn't be able to explain how she got the color TV.
"You know you're in the wrong, but you still don't let go, you rascal."
Gu Ruyi glared at him fiercely. She thought she was very fierce, but in Qi Lin's eyes there was only her pair of bright and crystal clear eyes like gems.
These eyes...
Qi Lin suddenly smiled and said "I'm sorry" again.
Gu Ruyi always felt that Qi Lin’s smile had a deeper meaning, and she felt uneasy.
Afraid of exposing his true colors, Gu Ruyi snorted in false anger and left immediately.
Qi Lin is a smart person. In order to avoid being exposed, she had better run away quickly!
But she hadn't walked far when Qi Lian said, "Erhu, follow me."
Wang Erhu, who was staring at the sky in a daze, was shocked by Qi Lin's words and said subconsciously: "No way, Brother Qi, you really want to be a gangster!"
Qi Lian: “…”
Qi Lian gave Wang Erhu a big slap, "Idiot, that's your future sister-in-law."
A hooligan, that's the kind of person he is!
Wang Erhu: Is Brother Qi blind or is he seeing things?
Wang Erhu rubbed his face, which didn't hurt at all, with his left hand, and waved his right hand in front of Qi Lin's eyes, saying fearlessly, "Brother Qi, are you crazy about wanting a wife? This girl is completely different from the one who sold the color TV last time, or are you attracted to this one again?"
Qi Lin's forehead was bulging with veins. "Bullshit, am I the kind of person who changes his mind easily?"
Although Gu Ruyi today is completely different from last time, her eyes cannot deceive anyone. Qi Lin has only seen eyes as bright as the stars in one person, and he will definitely not make a mistake.
Forget it, it’s hard to explain to that fool.
Qi Lin gave up explaining, turned around and chased after him.
However, it seemed like God was playing a trick on Qi Lan.
When he was about to catch up with Gu Ruyi, another of Qi Lin's younger brothers suddenly found him and asked anxiously, "Brother Qi, is your grandma in trouble?"
Qi Lian: “Fuck”
Qi Lin knew what was important and what was not, and no matter how unwilling he was, he still walked towards home.
————
On the other hand, Gu Ruyi had no idea that she had been exposed.
It was around nine in the morning when she got home. At this time, everyone was going to school or work, and the surrounding courtyards were very quiet.
Fewer people means it’s a good time to eat good food.
Therefore, after returning home, Gu Ruyi couldn't wait to start making pagoda meat.
Pagoda Meat, named after its pagoda-like shape, is said to be one of the most difficult dishes to make in the Flower Kingdom.
Before yesterday, even if she wanted to kill Gu Ruyi, she would never have thought that he could make this dish.
But today she is no longer a Wu Xia A Meng. After learning countless times in the system, Gu Ruyi can now easily build a pagoda.
After returning home, she first put the pork belly in a pot and boiled it for twenty minutes. After it was cooked, she used a bamboo stick to poke small holes in the skin of the meat, then applied some soy sauce, and then fried it in a pan.
The surface of the fried pork belly was golden brown, but its shape was a bit irregular. Gu Ruyi covered the pork belly from top to bottom with a plate and then put a stone on it. After pressing it for half an hour, the pork belly became as neat as a brick.
The next step is the most difficult step: cutting.
The most difficult part of making pagoda meat is the knife skills. The meat needs to be cut thinly and evenly. The thinner the meat is, the more pagoda layers there will be. The most important thing is that the whole piece of meat must not be cut. If it is cut, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Last night, when Gu Ruyi was learning how to cook pagoda meat, two-thirds of the entire night was spent on knife skills. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Gu Ruyi had cut meat in the system so many times that he couldn’t count it, but this was the first time in reality.
So even if the arm has. Even though it has become muscle memory, Gu Ruyi is still very careful.
One cut, two cuts... Gradually, Gu Ruyi was immersed in cutting the meat. She couldn't even count how many times she had cut. Only after she finished cutting all the meat did she come to her senses.
Success!
This thought flashed through Gu Ruyi's mind, and before she could feel happy, she suddenly felt like someone was staring at her.
Who dares to peek?
Gu Ruyi looked sharply in the direction of the peeping man and saw a rat-eyed, scrawny-headed boy about ten years old lying on the wall of Gu Ruyi's house, staring at the meat on the chopping board with salivating eyes.
"Kid, why don't you study?" Gu Ruyi looked unhappy.
If it was any other child, just let him watch. He's just a child. She's not losing any meat. There's no need to make a fuss about it.
But this boy gave Gu Ruyi a very bad impression. Although he was just a child, his eyes were no different from those 17 or 18-year-old hooligans who stole things everywhere.
Appearance reflects the heart. Gu Ruyi really couldn't like a child who was not good-looking and skipped classes during class time.
The drooling Bangzi was reminded of the time when he was punished by the teacher for making trouble at school today. He rolled his eyes and said with a crooked mouth, "None of your business."
Gu Ruyi: “…”
It’s really not a good thing!
"It's none of my business, so leave now and don't lean on my wall."
An impolite kid is a disaster, and Gu Ruyi just wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.
But she didn't expect that such an ordinary sentence would give the naughty child an idea.
