When Jianshu woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He lay in bed for a while before getting up and going to the living room in his slippers.
The pile of things that were brought back at noon was still placed in the corner. I lifted the cloth that blocked the view and took out all the things and put them on the table. Soon the table was full.
I put all the ingredients in the kitchen and stuffed everything else into the guest room. After I finished cleaning up, it was already late.
When Gu Mingjing left this morning, he said that he would come back for dinner today, so it was time to get ready.
Now that he is the only one who earns money in the family, shouldn’t we reward him well?
It just so happens that I haven’t eaten the fish from yesterday yet. I’ll kill it later and take some sauerkraut from the space to make a pot of sauerkraut fish.
It just so happened that I went to the city today. If Gu Mingjing asked where the sauerkraut came from, I would just say that I asked someone to replace it. Anyway, he didn't go there, so he didn't know whether she replaced it or not.
In addition to pickled fish, I also stir-fried some roasted eggplant. This is just the right way to use up all the vegetables at home. I can go next door to pick fresh ones tomorrow.
The staple food is rice. The broth of pickled fish mixed with rice is simply amazing. Braised eggplant is also a great dish to go with rice. Jianshu can eat two bowls of rice in one go.
After making a list, Jianshuchao began to prepare.
Kill the fish, scrape the scales, remove the internal organs, then debone the fish, chop the bones into pieces, and slice the fish meat into thin slices. This last step is a test of knife skills.
Jianshu's knife skills were honed by the many fish he cut, and his knife skills are always of the right thickness.
After cutting, the meat was put into a large bowl and marinated, and Jianshu began to prepare the ingredients.
Once everything is ready, we begin production.
As one of Jianshu's favorite dishes, I have made it many times in the past few years, basically several times every month, so I know the steps by heart and am very skilled in it.
Soon, a large pot of steaming pickled fish came out of the pot and was placed on the stove beside. Jianshu started to make roasted eggplant, and at this time, the rice in the pot had been steamed.
Not only does the rice steamed in the wood stove taste good, but it also comes with a bowl of rice soup. Eating the rice and drinking the rice soup tastes great.
After the food was ready, Gu Mingjing still hadn't come back.
Jianshu looked at the time and estimated that he should be here soon, so he brought the dishes to the dining table, covered them with a dish cover, and sat in the yard, watching the sunset in the sky while waiting for him to come back.
When Gu Mingjing arrived home in the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw the person waiting for him at a glance.
In an instant, a warm feeling surged in my heart.
It’s great that from now on, there is a light on for him and someone is waiting for him to come home.
This should be what other people call happiness.
"Shushu, I'm back!" He strode into the yard.
Jian Shu stood up from the chair, greeted him with a smile, and took his hand as they walked into the house.
She complained as she walked, "Why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come back, I'll almost starve to death." Judging from her tone, it was more like acting coquettishly than complaining.
Gu Mingjing listened to her carefully and responded with a smile, "It's my fault. I promise to come back earlier next time, okay? Are you starving? Then let's go eat. If you're hungry next time, you can eat first and don't have to wait for me. Your health is the most important thing."
The two walked into the house hand in hand.
The light from the room shone on the two of them, casting two long shadows on the ground.
Wash hands and eat. Jianshu sits at the dining table while Gu Mingjing serves rice in the kitchen.
One bowl is filled with rice and the other bowl is filled with rice soup, and the fresh fragrance of rice immediately hits you.
The two sat face to face at the dining table. Gu Mingjing skillfully picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup for Jianshu and poured it on the rice, then scooped a spoonful for himself.
Not only Jianshu likes pickled fish, but Gu Mingjing also likes it very much. They both love the soup mixed with rice. Every time they make pickled fish, they will definitely finish it all, including the vegetables and soup, without leaving any.
"My wife's cooking skills are really good!" Gu Mingjing praised while eating.
Jian Shu was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes. He quickly picked up some food for him and said, "If you like it, eat more. There are so many dishes!"
Gu Mingjing smiled at her, then buried his head and started eating.
Seeing him eating so happily, Jianshu also had a big appetite. He ate two bowls of rice in a row, and his belly was full.
After she put down her chopsticks, Gu Mingjing finished all the remaining dishes, leaving only some unfinished pickled fish soup.
But there is no need to worry about wasting it. Tomorrow morning, you can use this soup to make noodles. The taste is much better than tasteless steamed buns.
"Hmm, I'm so full——" Jianshu leaned back in the chair, touched his stomach, and let out a comfortable moan.
His eyes are slightly narrowed, like a well-fed cat, very lazy.
Gu Mingjing got up to clean up the mess, then took Jianshu to the back mountain for a while before going home to wash up.
"By the way, I bought some pig intestines today. Didn't you say you wanted to eat red pig intestines? I'll make them for you tomorrow!" Jianshu said, leaning on the edge of the bed and touching his belly.
I ate a lot last night and haven't digested it yet.
She was so lazy that she didn't notice the fiery eyes beside her.
"Okay, I'll get up and clean it up tomorrow."
Jian Shu nodded, "Just remember it."
"Okay, it's getting late, turn off the lights and go to bed."
"How is it not early? It's only eight o'clock." Jianshu looked at his watch and asked in confusion.
Gu Mingjing pretended not to hear and turned off the light.
"Ah—what are you doing!" Jianshu was frightened by the sudden attack and struggled quickly.
"Wife, didn't you say that you felt a little bloated after eating too much at night? Then let's do some exercise to help digest the food." Gu Mingjing held her in his arms, restrained her struggling hands, and whispered in her ear.
"No!" Jianshu screamed.
She would never believe his lies today!
Fortunately, they lived in a remote area and the houses around them were far away, otherwise the sound would have attracted people long ago.
By then, Jianshu might not even be able to face people.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingjing felt even more satisfied and grateful for the house.
Fortunately, my wife resolutely chose the bungalow. If it was a tube-shaped building, we would not be as happy as we are today.
With my daughter-in-law's shy nature, she would definitely push him away and not let him touch her.
Although Jian Shu refused verbally, she was no match for Gu Mingjing and was defeated soon.
However, out of concern for her health and fear that if he really angered her he would have no meat to eat, he did not dare to go too far and was careful to control himself.
I have to say that exercise is indeed useful, after all, it requires effort.
Jianshu was lying in bed and I really didn’t know whether I should be happy or not. I felt full, but I was tired.
Feeling my weak body, I couldn't help but despise myself in my heart.
Useless thing, your willpower is too poor!
