Chapter 16 Midnight Visitor



"Ah, ah, help!"

There were a lot of people watching, but no one tried to stop the fight. The main reason was that whoever got involved with Zhang the butcher would be in trouble, and whoever tried to stop the fight would be accused of having an affair with his wife.

He has a high level of fighting ability and can't find a way to reason with others after being beaten.

Xiao Ba was filled with righteous indignation. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to attack. Gu Xinran grabbed him and said, "Don't move. This is my enemy. She pushed me into the river and I almost drowned."

Alas, the original owner was really drowned by her.

Xiao Ba was surprised. "She is Widow Sun's daughter, Wu Wangnan?"

Gu Xinran nodded.

Seeing no one to help her, Wu Wangnan stood up and kicked other people's baskets and stepped on other people's vegetables. She overturned and smashed the eggs. With a fierce look in her eyes, she yelled, "Go to hell, go to hell..."

There was nothing we could do. We finally managed to hold the two crazy people back and demand compensation from them.

Butcher Zhang was being disingenuous. "You can ask that bitch to pay you back. If she doesn't have any money, you can ask her to pay with her body. Beat her up to pay off the debt. She can handle it."

At this time, the village head came over with two patrolmen. "Zhang the Butcher, you're causing trouble again. This is the nth time this month! Take you away and lock you up. You're disrupting the market order, and you can't sell meat here anymore."

"Chief, don't be like this. I will compensate you immediately. Don't get angry and make yourself sick. Take this piece of meat to replenish your body. You have worked hard for the people in this town." Butcher Zhang was actually a man who could bend and stretch.

In the end, Zhang the butcher paid the money and dragged Wu Wangnan back.

Judging from Wu Wangnan's eyes, he is definitely not the type to die in silence. Something bad will happen in the future.

Xiao Ba shook his head. "This woman is not a good person. Be careful."

"Well, we are far away in the village, it's okay." Gu Xinran said indifferently.

Seeing Wu Wangnan living such a miserable life, she felt very relieved both physically and mentally.

The two came to the remaining meat stall and saw only two pig feet, some internal organs and large bones.

"Boss, I want them all. How much?" Gu Xinran asked.

"Originally, pig's feet were thirty cents each, but now that I'm closing up shop, I'll give them to you at twenty-five. These offal are ten cents each, and the big bones are free. That's sixty cents in total."

Gu Xinran happily paid, feeling that she had gotten a great bargain. These things, if cooked well, would be more delicious than meat.

It seems that the price of pork has also increased a lot. Pig's trotters used to be only 15 cents each, which has doubled.

Xiao Ba curled his lips and said, "Just use these to reward me."

Gu Xinran chuckled, "Wait until I make it, and you'll know how delicious it is."

The two of them bought some dried vegetables and a basket of eggs and left to pick up Brother Gu.

After waiting outside the martial arts hall for a while, I saw Gu Yuchen walking out quickly.

Brother Gu usually runs to and from school. He can usually reach the destination in fifteen minutes, which is a half-hour journey, which is faster than an ox cart.

"Brother, we are here to pick you up! Your sister is so considerate." Gu Xinran acted funny.

"Well, my sister is the best, and my dear has worked hard too."

They soon arrived home while chatting and laughing. Mother Gu had already steamed white rice, which was what Gu Xinran had instructed before she left.

After unloading the ox cart, Gu Xinran asked the little starling to help chop the pig's feet, and Gu Yuchen washed the internal organs. He taught him to rub them repeatedly with wood ash and then clean them.

Grandma Gu boiled water and prepared to blanch the pig's feet and internal organs.

Gu Xinran was peeling garlic, cutting ginger, and preparing spices such as star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc., but unfortunately she had never seen chili peppers.

Set aside the blanched pig's feet and internal organs.

Heat oil in a pan on the left. When the oil boils, add garlic, ginger and other spices and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the internal organs and stir-fry. Add water and soy sauce, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for one hour.

Heat oil in a pan on the right, add rock sugar to make sugar color, add pig's feet and stir-fry until colored, add water and bring to a boil over high heat, add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, various spices and pre-soaked soybeans, simmer over low heat for more than half an hour, turn to high heat to reduce the sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.

Of course, spiritual spring water is also added for flavoring.

The aroma from the kitchen wafted through the air, making everyone salivate. Xuanxuan and Tingting took a quick look, then turned around and said, "Sister, it smells so good. Is it ready?"

After the fifth request, it was finally ready to be served.

Two large pots of delicious pig's feet and pig's offal made people dizzy with the smell.

Gu Xinran also prepared some cold-boiled Chinese cabbage to relieve the greasiness.

Let’s eat!

Each person was served a bowl of white rice, and the only sounds could be heard: chewing, swallowing, and the clatter of chopsticks against the bowl.

After finishing a bowl of rice, Grandpa Gu finally had time to sigh, "It's so delicious, even better than big fat meat."

Xiao Ba didn't mind the low quality of the ingredients. "Sister Ran, you are so capable. This is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten."

Xuanxuan's mouth was puffed up like a little hamster, and he couldn't speak clearly, "That's great!"

The king of flattery, Tingting, "Hao Hao Qi!"

Brother Gu ate without saying a word, just concentrating on eating.

Mother Gu and Grandma Gu also ate happily with smiles on their faces.

The satisfying meal ended with everyone's praise.

After the meal, Master Xiaoba carefully taught everyone the internal skills under the oil lamp.

The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Whether you can succeed depends on your personal understanding.

For the next half month, Gu Xinran lived a regular and fulfilling life.

Practice, work, teach kids, and occasionally cook a big meal.

I brewed a large jar of Lingquan Ganoderma wine and a large jar of Lingquan tiger bone wine.

I also took the time to go to the mountains, filled the puddles in the space with mountain springs, and collected a lot of familiar medicinal herbs such as Panax notoginseng and Astragalus.

We also watched a big show in the middle!

On the fifth day after Gu Xinran returned from the town, a team of yamen runners came to the village, searched Widow Sun's house thoroughly, and interrogated her about whether her daughter had returned.

It turned out that the night before, Wu Wangnan had drugged Zhang the butcher and knocked him unconscious, then slashed his neck.

What was even more cruel was that he chopped off the third leg, scratched the face, stabbed dozens of times all over the body, and then ran away with the money.
