Chapter 36 Hot
"Dad, this is not the way to eat it. Sister A Zheng said it tastes better if you suck it out with your mouth." Seeing that his father wanted to stuff it directly into his mouth, he quickly stopped him.
"Oh, good." He sucked the meat and it went straight into his mouth, along with the spicy and fragrant broth. This was the snail he had eaten before. He was from a farming family, so he had eaten it before, but his mouth was full of sand and fishy. It turned out that it was not that it was not delicious, but that they didn't know how to cook it. However, this thing would definitely go well with wine. Looking at his son, he thought, I'm sorry, son, you don't have to eat it today.
…
That afternoon, Li Zheng fried snails again. She also had some leftovers from yesterday, but she put them in a storage space to keep them fresh and warm. She hadn't expected the fried snails to become so popular. Yesterday, no one was buying, but today, so many people were coming. And they weren't buying in batches of one or two pounds, but three or five pounds, and they were all adults.
"Sister Zheng, I'm buying ten kilograms of snails today."
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy today?" Look at the little fat boy's angry look.
"I hadn't even taken a few bites of the food I bought yesterday before my dad took it away to go drink with others. He also told me to buy more today." He looked reluctant.
"It's okay. I bought a lot today. I'll eat it to my heart's content."
"Um."
"Zheng girl, I'm here to buy three pounds too. I don't know what you did, but my husband ate it yesterday and said he'd buy some more today to go with the wine. He just likes to have a few sips." Aunt Liu gets angry when she sees her husband. Once he drinks, he can't be persuaded to drink so much.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
"Oh, enough talking, you should be busy too."
"Zheng, weigh five pounds for me too. I bought some yesterday, and before I could even take a few bites, he got attracted by the smell and didn't leave any for me. Today, buy more so he can have enough."
"Sister Li, does Brother Li like to eat it too? Then I'll make you more." Sister Li is also a resident next door. She and her husband, Brother Li, live here. Her parents are in the countryside and didn't come here, so she is very cheerful and generous. Besides, her family runs a grocery store, so people usually come to patronize her business from time to time, and they also buy some of her seasonings and other things.
"Hey, no, there are people behind us. If there is not enough food, they will blame me." She couldn't do such a thing of taking advantage of others.
"It's okay, there are plenty of them. Besides, no one can be wronged but Sister Li." She and Sister Li were of similar age and could get along well.
"Then you're welcome, sister. I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow. Okay, get busy." Look at this girl A Zheng, who is three years younger than her, she is really capable!
Looking at the few snails left in the pot and the people waiting behind, it seems that good business is not a bad thing.
The next day, she prepared more than 100 kilograms of snails and reduced the amount of skewers. Unexpectedly, they were still sold out. However, she did not plan to add more. She planned to just make this amount every day. If there were more, she would be too busy to handle it.
That afternoon, Li Zheng wrote on the small blackboard that the business would be closed tomorrow. Tomorrow was Bao Ge'er's day off, and she planned to take him out to play for a day.
…
At night, Gu Chengze opened the tent with a bathtub and saw a group of people surrounding his bed.
"What are you doing around my bed?" It can't be...
"Ah, Chengze, you're back. Haha." Wang Chui smiled awkwardly and quickly poked the person next to him.
"Oh, Xiaoze is back."
"I'm back, haha."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be avoiding looking at him, he walked over and saw that the package on the bed had been opened, and most of the dried meat had been eaten.
"This... you did this?"
"Hey, Chengze, aren't we hungry? Besides, your jerky smells so good, we can't resist it." Although Wang Chui felt a little embarrassed, he couldn't help it.
"Hey, I helped Xiaoze to get food these two days." After all, he ate so much meat, and Qi Yuan, as the eldest brother in the tent, felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, you've eaten a lot too, why aren't you talking?" Wang Chui saw that the boy next to him was eating the most voraciously, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, Chengze will definitely not mind, right?" Qin You looked at Gu Chengze with a smile.
Gu Chengze looked helpless. Since he had heard that, what else could he do?
"Next time you want to eat, just tell me, there's no need to do this."
"See, I said, Chengze, I want to eat your shrimp paste tomorrow. Oh, the food in the military camp is really just enough to fill you up. I can eat five of your shrimp paste with the big steamed buns."
"Yeah, Ozawa, your sauce is really delicious with rice."
"Yes, it tastes really fresh."
At night, Gu Chengze lay in bed thinking that although life in the military camp was tiring and hard, it was not unbearable, and he had already gotten used to it. He wondered if the two of them were doing okay.
"Hey, Chengze, where did you buy this sauce? And I want to buy some pork jerky too." Qin You turned his head and looked at him, thinking that the pork jerky was especially delicious, which was sweet and salty, with a little pepper flavor. However, he didn't eat much before he asked him to hide it.
"It's not for sale." As far as he knew, she was the only one who could make this sauce and pork jerky.
"Oh, then tell me who gave it to you?" They knew he had no parents and was the only one in the family. "Could it be your wife?"
After a while, there was no sound. "No way, it really is your wife. No way, you actually have a wife?" He seemed to be only seventeen, and his temper was so cold. Which young lady would be interested in him.
"Xiao Ze, you're already married? I haven't heard you tell me." Wang Chui was a little shocked when he heard this. He's in his twenties and still not married?
"Hey, we are already in our twenties, and there is still no sign of anything?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but speak up.
"Xiao Ze is so lucky, his sister-in-law is such a good cook." The speaker was Wu Feng. He usually doesn't talk much, but he ate a lot today.
"Hey, you guys haven't slept yet?" You can tell how helpless he is just by listening to his voice.
"The competition will be held tomorrow, and I don't know who will come out on top." Tomorrow is the competition of the Vanguard Camp. If someone wins first place, not only will there be money, but if there are vacant positions, the first place will generally be considered. However, the most important thing is that the prince will come that day. If you are appreciated by the prince and transferred to work by his side, it will be a great blessing.
"Oh, it's my turn. I won't compete anyway." Qin You looked indifferent and didn't care about this at all.
"Who would be the same as you? Xiaoze just got here, so there's no need to compare. We'll just have to wait and see."
"Oh, I'm more curious than this. Why didn't you tell me that you have a wife?" Qin You opened his eyes wide, his face full of curiosity, and suddenly thought, "Is your wife plain-looking? Don't want to tell me? You can't do this, she is your wife after all?" As a man, we can't do this.
