Seeing that his daughter-in-law was really stingy and didn't care about the relationship between relatives, Gu Yu'an thought about it and couldn't help but persuade her.

"Daughter-in-law, these days, our lives are not easy. Since they have come to our door, why don't we lend a hand?"

"I also know that our family can't help much, but we can still do our best..."

Although she felt that her adopted father-in-law was a bit saintly and a bit hypocritical, in front of so many people, Chen Xuanxuan still nodded to give him face.

She didn't want to make things difficult for them.

"In that case, I'll give something to my aunt."

With Gu Huang's eyes, Chen Xuanxuan took the key and carefully opened the door of the cabinet.

Gu Huang's eyes were also slyly moving. Seeing that there were only a few black and gray pots and jars in the dark cabinet, she couldn't help but curl her lips in her heart. She

thought there were some good things hidden in it. It turned out to be these antiques.

These pots and jars were taken from her parents-in-law who had long since turned to dust when they separated from their families decades ago.

In fact, she also had several of them at home.

This stuff is not durable. Her diligent parents-in-law built the stove themselves and burned it by hand.

"Niece-in-law, what on earth did you hide here? Seeing you being so mysterious, I thought you made a fortune..."

Chen Xuanxuan took out one of the steaming jars after hearing this.

"Aunt, what else can I put in there?"

"This is the food we usually eat. Our family has been so poor that we can't even afford to eat. If I don't keep it well, how can we have enough to eat?"

Under Gu Huang's expectant gaze, Chen Xuanxuan scooped half a spoonful of the porridge made from black sorghum seeds for the beauties.

"Look, when you just came, I had just made this porridge made with sorghum seeds..."

"Since you are as poor as us, you can't even afford to eat, then you can eat with us."

After saying this, Chen Xuanxuan carefully took out the last half of the pickled cabbage from the cupboard.

She chopped the cabbage into small pieces, put it in a black ceramic pot, heated it up, and stir-fried it. Then she mixed it into the porridge, and Chen Xuanxuan began to invite the whole family to eat.

With Mrs. Gu Huang and her sons and grandsons present, everyone in the Gu family ate like they were going to a war.

In less than three minutes, the half pot of porridge made with sorghum seeds was eaten by everyone.

Seeing that they were all very satisfied with the meal, especially seeing with her own eyes that Chen Xuanxuan did not even let go of the last bit of leftovers in the pot. She even added water to it and kept cooking it. Gu Huang secretly made a decision in her heart that she would never listen to those people's nonsense next time.

Gu Huang had previously heard from the famous matchmaker Gu that her nephew's wife's family cared about her and sent her a lot of food. She believed it at the time. She

always felt that if she made such a trip, she could still get a lot of benefits from her fourth brother.

What was the result?

These people were extremely poor.

Even poorer than her family!

No matter what, her family still has at least 100 kilograms of old grain on hand...

at least it can last for another month.

And this group of people in front of them, haha, how many days can they last with this little stuff?

Feeling that she really can't get any advantage, sitting here will only waste her time. After putting down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, Gu Huang took her son and grandson away.

She didn't eat enough for the meal just now.

Not even half full, she went back and had to have another meal.

Then, she would cook more wild vegetables to eat.

...

Seeing that Gu Huang and a few men were leaving in a hurry, Chen Xuanxuan said to the people at home with a smile on her face, "While it's still early and not cold outside, you should hurry up and pick more wild vegetables outside."

"Especially the snails in the river, no matter whether they are dead or alive, no matter whether there is meat inside, you should help me secretly get them!"

Gu Yanzhang and the others hurriedly packed up and went out.

After they left, only she and her two concubines were left in the house.

After the two concubines fell asleep, Chen Xuanxuan quietly went to the back of the yard and brought the snail meat that the whole family dug out from the snail shells into the room in buckets.

After removing the shells from the snails, the total weight should be more than 40 kilograms.

Chen Xuanxuan had thought about it at the beginning. She spent a few days to buy some spices and a one-liter bucket of oil from the Qionghei app.

Put pepper, chili, ginger, vinegar, and garlic into the hot oil, stir-fry for a few times to bring out the aroma, and then put all the cleaned snail meat into the pot.

Compared to iron pots, ceramic pots are still not very easy to use.

However, Chen Xuanxuan still spent two hours to make a big pot of spicy snail meat.

If this thing is eaten in porridge, it tastes very fragrant and delicious.

When making this pot of meat, Chen Xuanxuan always used a low fire and carefully pressed the lid tightly.

If she opened the lid and stir-fried it over high heat, the aroma of the meat would spread far and wide.

By then, there would be countless people who would come to their house to take advantage of them.

Chen Xuanxuan didn't want to attract attention, so she could only act like a thief and slowly make this spicy snail.

Moreover, she closed the doors and windows of the house tightly.

After making this pot, Chen Xuanxuan quickly stored it in the pot.

Then, she started to make the second pot.

When it was dark and Gu Yanzhang and his friends came back with all kinds of things, Chen Xuanxuan had already cooked the last few pounds of snails. Moreover, she added water and sorghum seeds directly into the porridge and cooked it into a pot of fragrant porridge.

As soon as Gu Yanzhang returned home, Chen Xuanxuan heard his stomach growling.

"Wife, is the meal ready?"

Chen Xuanxuan replied with a smile, "It's ready! Come over quickly and eat."

While eating, Chen Xuanxuan, who had already drunk a large bowl of porridge, asked patiently, "What did you bring back all day today?"

Gu Yanzhang held the large bowl, gulped down a whole bowl of porridge, and then he quickly served himself a second bowl.

This time, since he had something full in his stomach, Gu Yanzhang raised his head and replied seriously, "I took my parents to the mountain to pick dozens of kilograms of wild vegetables."

"There are so many wild lettuces growing on the mountain. Many people are picking them there."
