Chapter 135 The Real Purpose
At five o'clock in the evening, Wen Kexin came to Wu's house with food and found that the door was not locked.
When I walked in, I found that it was Sister Gao who came back.
"Sister, are you off work early today?"
Gao Yunyi said as she washed the pot, "Sister, you're leaving tomorrow. You'll be the one cooking for the next few days. No matter how busy I am, I have to come back early to help."
As she spoke, her eyes swept over the basket in Wen Kexin's hand.
She said angrily, "Sister, why are you taking the ingredients again? How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Big sis, I didn't spend any money on the ingredients I brought. Why should we be embarrassed about this?"
"Sister, I love what you say. By the way, there is a big happy event today. Have you heard about it?"
"What is it?"
"I only found out about this when I was having lunch in the cafeteria. I don't know who sent two big wild boars to the cafeteria early in the morning. I ate the meat at noon and it tasted really good. I didn't see you, so I bought a lunch box of wild boar meat in sauce and brought it back for you to try. I also took the time to go to the village and buy some vegetables."
Wen Kexin was speechless. It seemed that wild boar meat was very popular among everyone.
Not only did the eldest sister eat it at noon, she also talked about it with gusto, worrying that she didn't get to eat it.
Of course, she couldn't say that I was the one who sent the wild boar. I was offering my love to upgrade my space. I don't like eating wild boar meat, so I could only smile and say, "Big sister, I went to the stream to catch fish, loaches and clams today. I had a bite to eat by the stream at noon. Big sister is so kind to me. She thought of me while eating meat. By the way, do you know who killed the wild boar?"
Gao Yunyi shook his head and said, "Everyone is talking about it. The people in the kitchen told everyone to eat what they can and not to cause trouble for the good people."
Wen Kexin, who was labeled a good person, smiled secretly in her heart.
Gao Yunyi looked at the ingredients the girl took out of the basket: a small bowl of pickled crucian carp, a small bowl of cleaned loaches, and a lot of river clam meat.
I've tried fish and loach, they taste good.
Seeing the clam meat, she immediately frowned and said, "Sister, can you eat clam meat? I heard it has a strong fishy smell."
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: Wild boar meat smells even stronger!
She said confidently: "Big sister, watch me cook it later, it will definitely taste good."
"Then I'll try it later! By the way, someone also sent me a watermelon, you can cut the watermelon and eat a piece before you get busy."
Wen Kexin looked at the small watermelon on the kitchen floor. Isn't this the superior variety that later generations called landmine sweet potato? No, it should be similar in size. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
When you eat watermelon later, you can secretly save a few watermelon seeds and plant them in the newly added black soil, which will make it convenient to eat watermelon in the future.
She patted the watermelon gently and found that it was indeed not as crisp as the landmine watermelons of later generations. Then she thought that it was good to have watermelons to eat in this era.
"Big sister, this watermelon is delicious. Cut a big plate and eat it with your meal."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Wen Kexin immediately removed the watermelon rind and found that the rind was a bit thick and the flesh inside looked good.
She carefully cut the watermelon flesh into diamond-shaped pieces and put the exposed watermelon seeds into the space.
Cut the thick watermelon rind into thin strips, sprinkle some sugar on it and marinate it, then add seasonings and stir-fry after a while.
Then, she started cooking.
Fried small crucian carp, stir-fried loach and stir-fried river clam meat with chili pepper were served one after another.
Of course, there was also a lunch box of wild boar meat fried with onions and garlic, sweet and sour watermelon shreds, as well as the cold cucumber salad and delicious spinach, shrimp noodle and egg soup that she had secretly exchanged for the ingredients in the space.
Everyone sat together and prepared to eat.
Wu Weiguang saw the table filled with various dishes and picked up the chopsticks to taste them.
"Aunt, I didn't expect the fried fish and stir-fried loach to be so delicious?"
"Would you like to try something else?"
Wu Weiguang took a few more bites of shredded watermelon and other vegetarian dishes, and ate a few pieces of watermelon. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Auntie, your cooking skills are really good."
Wen Kexin pointed at the river clam meat fried with green peppers and said, "Try this dish!"
Wu Weiguang asked doubtfully: "Aunt, what is this?"
"River clam meat!"
Wu Weiguang twitched his lips and said, "Aunt, can this thing be eaten? I heard that some people use it to feed pigs."
Wen Kexin complained strongly in her heart: This is wild river clam meat with extremely high nutritional value. Is it used to feed pigs? What a waste of resources!
"Try it first!"
Wu Weiguang picked up a small piece and tasted it. The spicy, fresh and tender flavors filled his mouth, forming a taste that made people linger and want to eat more.
"Delicious!" He said these two words concisely and continued eating.
There were many dishes for dinner today, but Wu Zhiping and his wife selectively forgot this dish.
After hearing what his son said, he took a bite out of curiosity and soon discovered how delicious the dish was.
It doesn't have the greasy feeling of meat, but leaves the delicious taste of meat.
“It’s really delicious!”
The couple quickly joined the scramble.
When the dish came out of the pot, Wen Kexin took a bite.
At this moment, she noticed that there was less and less clam meat on the plate, so she immediately joined the scramble.
As several people scrambled for the dish with the same goal in mind, it was quickly eaten up.
Everyone felt like they wanted more and reached for other plates with their chopsticks.
The sweet and sour watermelon shreds were also quickly cleared out.
By the end of the meal, the dishes on the table were basically gone, with only a lot of wild boar meat left after secondary processing to cover up the fishy smell.
After cleaning the table, Gao Yunyi took out a piece of Dacron floral fabric and said, "Sister, you will be going back tomorrow. This piece of fabric is a little gift from me. Take it back and make some clothes."
"Sister... this material is not cheap, I can't take it."
"You are my sister, this piece of material is just right for you to make a piece of clothing. Besides, you brought so many ingredients these days, which made us feast on the food. Don't be polite to me, elder sister."
Wen Kexin knew very well that after she left, the food would lose spatial energy and the taste would definitely be much worse.
Although there are still a few ginseng plants in the space, it is not easy to take them out.
All the healthy ingredients such as shrimp powder and dates were given away.
"Big sister, remember to take some time to give your brother-in-law the nutritional supplements I wrote for you. I'll mail them to you when I get back and collect some ginseng."
"Thank you, sister!"
"Sister, please don't be polite to me!"
Wen Kexin quickly thought of something and said, "Oh, big sister, there is a patch of wild Gastrodia elata on our mountain. I'll dig it out and prepare it in two months. Eating Gastrodia elata for a long time can improve blood circulation, sleep, and regulate the body. I'll mail it to you when the time comes."
"Your brother-in-law has an old injury and the doctor said his blood circulation is poor and his sleep quality is very poor. I'm waiting for you to mail me the herbs. By the way, can I pay you for the herbs?"
"No, wait until it's mailed to you. I won't be polite to you, big sister."
Gao Yunyi understood what the girl meant, nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's how it should be. I don't want to be an exploiter who gets something for nothing."
Wen Kexin said solemnly: "Sister, I will go back tomorrow. If there is any news about Song Mo on the front line, please contact me in time. I left my contact address with you. If it is urgent, you can call our commune and I think they will pass on the message."
I have been working hard to make friends with the Gao family these days, and my real purpose is to get the news about the man deeply buried in my heart in time.
Song Mo! How are you now?
