Wang Xu waited for a while after he finished speaking. Seeing that she didn't respond and was still standing at the kitchen door, he looked up at her and saw that she was looking at him seriously: "Are you scared silly?"
Gu Xi took a deep breath and said, "Tsk, you look so handsome when you cook. It's so charming. I'll let you cook from now on. If you can change your short-sleeved shirt into a vest, I can't even imagine how beautiful the scene will be."
Now it was Wang Xu's turn to be stunned. He took a while to react: "You really are a stubborn person."
Gu Xi gave a devilish smile: "Food and sex are human nature."
Wang Xu stopped looking at her and continued to process the ingredients: "You have a runny nose again."
Gu Xi quickly wiped it with her sleeve: "Where is the leak! Liar!"
Gu Xi was just trying to flatter Wang Xu to get him to cook. After she finished flattering him, she turned around and went back to the yard to sort out today's spoils. It was so exciting when she bought them, but she was in tears while sorting them out.
After sorting out the things, he ran to the kitchen again: "Wang Xu, do you know where I can help build a cabinet? There are two boxes in the cabinet in my room, and they are very heavy. What should I do? Should I make a new cabinet or use the original one?"
Wang Xu then remembered the two boxes in the cupboard: "I will move the boxes away in a while, and you can use them. Just wipe off the dust.
Do you mind if my mother used the furniture? If you mind, build your own cabinet. "
Gu Xi didn't mind. "I don't mind. The wood and workmanship of this cabinet are both very good. Especially the dressing table. It's very useful. I have a lot of bottles and jars that can be put away."
Wang Xu looked back at her expression and saw that she really didn't mind. He nodded and said, "What do you want to put in the cabinet? Uncle Zhao, the one who drives the ox cart, has a son who can make furniture. I'll take you there after dinner."
Gu Xi didn't answer and ran away again. She wiped the cupboard and hung out the clothes in the suitcases. Finally, she had finished organizing the two suitcases and filled the dressing table with skin care products.
Gu Xi put the toiletries she used yesterday in the washbasin, thought for a while, and ran back to the kitchen: "I also want a big wooden barrel for bathing. I can mix hot water with it and use a ladle to wash. I can occasionally take a hot bath in winter. The washbasin seems a bit small."
Wang Xu had already put the ribs in the pot and added three boiled eggs. Now chopping pork belly stuffing for dumplings: "Let's go ask later. If there is no ready-made one, we can order one. It will be ready in about 3-5 days."
Gu Xi asked again: "What do you use to boil water?"
Wang Xu pointed to a copper kettle in the corner and said, "Use this to boil water. The small iron pot next to it is for cooking. You can pick it up and boil water. Did you buy a thermos bottle today?"
Gu Xi turned around and ran out again. When she came back, she brought two thermoses with her. "I'll put them on the ground here. You can teach me how to make a fire tomorrow. If you're not at home one day, I can still cook for myself."
Wang Xu: "Then you should get up early tomorrow."
When Gu Xi heard about getting up early, she felt bad immediately: "Tomorrow is my last day off. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally. You can teach me when you make dinner."
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows: "I will still cook tomorrow? When I was lecturing Wan Xi this afternoon, I said that we should protest against unfair things. Why should we cook after finishing farm work?
I have to go to the fields tomorrow, and you are at home, so shouldn't you do it? "
Gu Xi didn't know how to refute for a moment: "How come you learn this kind of thing so quickly? It's just cooking, I'll do it, what's so difficult about it?"
Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work tomorrow, Gu Zhiqing."
Gu Xi felt that she had been cheated, but it was just cooking a meal, so it didn’t matter.
I continued to organize the things I bought. It seemed that there was no cabinet and I didn’t know where to put all these snacks. While thinking, I picked up a small piece of egg cake and stuffed it into my mouth. It tasted quite good. I took another piece and ran to the kitchen and stuffed it directly into Wang Xu’s mouth.
Wang Xu was cutting potato shreds when he felt Gu Xi come over again and stuff something into his mouth. He opened his mouth consciously and realized it was egg cake after the food entered his mouth. "I don't like these snacks. Eat them yourself. They are quite expensive."
Gu Xi watched him shredding potatoes: "You are really good with a knife, much better than my dad, you cut it very finely and evenly.
My dad felt that he was very good at cutting because of my mom's constant praise. The potato shreds he cut were as thick as my little finger. Sometimes they were thick and sometimes they were thin, and some of the potato shreds were soft and some were hard when they were fried. "
Wang Xu finished shredding the potatoes in the blink of an eye, and the ribs in the pot were cooked and served on a plate. Pour water into the hot pot, scrub it with a brush, let the dirty water fall off the ladle, then pour in rice washing water and scrub it again. When the ladle falls off, it is considered washed.
This was the first time Gu Xi saw these and she found them quite novel.
Wang Xu waited for the pot to boil dry, then added oil and waited for it to heat up: "Should we stir-fry the shredded potatoes plain or spicy?"
Gu Xi immediately replied: "I like to eat sour and spicy food, but you have to add sugar, sour, sweet and spicy."
Wang Xu chopped some green and red peppers and minced garlic, poured the peppers and garlic into hot oil and sautéed them until fragrant, then added shredded potatoes and stir-fried them, added salt, vinegar and sugar and continued to stir-fry, and when the shredded potatoes were softer, he added some vinegar for the second time, and then added green peppers and stir-fried them a few more times, then picked up two with chopsticks and gave them to Gu Xi to taste: "Try it, is it sweet and sour?"
Gu Xi caught the potato shreds in her mouth without blowing on them: "Shh, a little hot, delicious, sour, sweet and spicy, just to my taste."
Wang Xu put down his chopsticks, stir-fried the food twice more with a spatula, then removed from the pan and served on a plate. The rice is also cooked on one side, and there are five whole grain steamed buns on top.
Wang Xu washed the pot and fried some lettuce with garlic, and dinner was ready.
Gu Xi helped to bring the dishes to the table, and Wang Xu quickly reminded: "Be careful not to burn your hands."
He took the two thermoses and the copper kettle to the water tank to rinse them, then filled the copper kettle with water and took it to the kitchen to boil water.
Gu Xi was waiting for him at the table to eat together. Wang Xu suddenly felt warm in his heart. After his mother left, no one was waiting for him to eat.
As soon as I sat down, Yao Cuilian from next door knocked on the door, and then the door was pushed open: "Gu Zhiqing, do you want to come over for dinner? My nephew sent Congbao back and bought some meat. It's a good opportunity for you to meet him."
Gu Xi quickly refused: "Auntie, no need, I also bought some meat today and have already prepared the meal. You guys eat more."
When Yao Cuilian saw Wang Xu was at home, she shrank her neck and said, "Then you guys eat, and come sit down after you finish eating. My nephew heard that there was an educated youth at Su Hou's house, so he bought some eggs for you."
Before he could finish his words, Tian Congbao next to him rushed over and exclaimed, "Mom, there are so many snacks."
As he spoke, he stretched out his dirty little hands to take the egg cake. The other snacks were wrapped in brown paper and had not been opened yet. The egg cake was just opened by Gu Xi because she was greedy and placed on the table.
Seeing this, Yao Cuilian hurried over and pulled her son away: "You only know how to eat. You just finished eating candy and now you want to eat egg cake."
But Tian Congbao was small and big, and he was too fat to move away. He crushed the egg cake in his struggle: "I want to eat the egg cake, all of it is mine, I want to eat it all."
