"It's okay. I happened to be craving this too. It's not a big deal. I have the ingredients ready at home. It's no big deal!" Jianshu waved his hand.
If you don’t like it, why force others to eat it?
It's not a big deal to change your method, just treat it as a new way to satisfy your craving. To be honest, she also thinks dried red dates taste just like that, and candied dates taste better.
Gu Mingjing's eyes softened, he knew what she was thinking.
He rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "Wife, you are so kind."
"You know me, okay? Then why don't you treat me better in the future? You just piss me off every day!"
"No, I will definitely treat you well."
"Then you have to listen to me tonight." Jianshu took the opportunity to make a request.
Gu Mingjing replied without hesitation: "That won't work!"
Jianshu: "..." Almost pissed off, "Get lost!"
Push the person back and don't let him get any closer.
"Wife, change one. Anything else is fine except this one." Gu Mingjing came up to her in a flattering manner.
Jian Shu pushed his big face away and said, "Get up, don't block my way, it makes me upset just looking at you!"
Everything else is fine? Does she like it?
Gu Mingjing shrank his neck. Seeing that she was angry, he didn't dare to come forward again. But even if he agreed, he would not agree. That was his happy life.
Oh, it’s so difficult!
In order to show off, Gu Mingjing took charge of dinner and was responsible for washing vegetables and cooking.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried tofu, and the staple food is the seafood porridge mentioned earlier, all of which are Jianshu's favorites.
Looking at the food in front of him, Jianshu's anger subsided a lot.
This man really did as he said, and listened to her in everything except in bed.
The freshly cooked seafood porridge was too hot. Jianshu slowly stirred the soup spoon to let it cool down. "Remember to soak the squid later."
Gu Mingjing's eyes lit up, "Okay!" He knew that his wife was no longer angry.
"It seems that there is no meat at home. I will go buy some meat tomorrow morning!" When he was cooking just now, he saw that the cupboards at home seemed to be basically empty, with only some rice, flour and a dozen eggs left.
Jianshu didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, she has to go to the city in the next two days, so she can just bring some meat out then.
It will be soon. The weather will get colder in a while. Then she can take out more meat at one time and no longer have to worry about the meat going bad if left outside.
After dinner, Gu Mingjing cleaned up the dishes, and the two of them washed up and went to bed.
"The holiday is coming in two days. Will you have a day off then?" Jian Shu leaned in Gu Mingjing's arms and asked.
Gu Mingjing smoothed back the strands of hair on her forehead and shook his head. "No, but you can come back one day."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner." Jianshu was very satisfied to have an early dinner. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes and moon-viewing are also at night.
"In previous years, the army would hold a party on that day, and there would also be performances. I think it should be the same this year. Do you want to go and see it?" Gu Mingjing asked, remembering something.
"A party?"
"Well, it's Mid-Autumn Festival after all. We're all far away and can't go back, so it's nice to have some fun together."
Since ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival have been the most important festivals. Moreover, the Mid-Autumn Festival also carries the meaning of family reunion. With the exception of a few people who have family members around, most people are still alone. Holding a party can also help to liven up the atmosphere and dispel some of the sadness.
"We'll talk about it later. If I don't have anything else to do, it's not bad to go and have a look." Jian Shu thought about it and didn't refuse. She still had some interest in acting.
"OK."
"By the way, what flavor of mooncake do you want to eat this year?" How can the Mid-Autumn Festival be complete without mooncakes?
"Are you planning to do it yourself?" Gu Mingjing asked back.
Jianshu couldn't deny it, "Well, homemade ones always taste better." She didn't really like the mooncakes she bought.
"Then don't get too tired. The supply and marketing cooperative should have mooncakes for sale by then. It would be much easier to buy some."
"It's okay, I can't make much, it's not a big deal." She made mooncakes herself in the past two years and she was used to it.
"You decide the taste. I like everything you cook." Gu Mingjing was not picky about this. Last year, he enjoyed everything Jianshu made, whether it was sweet or salty.
"Okay, I'll just do whatever I want." Jianshu was even more relaxed and decided to follow his own taste.
"By the way, do you want to give some to each other?" If so, she would make more. In previous years, she gave the ones she made to her close relatives, and she hasn't inquired about the etiquette here.
The people living in the family compound come from all over the world and have different habits.
Gu Mingjing shook his head. "No, basically I just buy some and eat it myself. No need to send it back."
There are so many people in the family compound, and it would be too much trouble if you give me gifts and I give you gifts. Besides, mooncakes are precious things. If you are not well-off, you can just buy two and share them with your family. There is no need to give gifts.
"Then I will make less and keep some for my family, and you can give a few to your comrades." Jian Shu thought about it and made this decision.
Among Gu Mingjing's comrades, many are bachelors, and their families are not around. Judging from the rough nature of that group of people, they probably don't even think about buying some mooncakes or something to eat. They will definitely eat whatever is available and are not picky at all.
It was okay in previous years, but this year when she came, she couldn't just let them get away with it. After all, they had to call her sister-in-law. Whenever there was something busy at home, she would roll up her sleeves and get to work without a second thought.
Since I have to make it anyway, I might as well make a few more and share them with everyone later.
Gu Mingjing felt warm in his heart, "Then Old Han and the others will be in luck this year." His wife's cooking skills are much better than those outside.
"Do they have any food restrictions? Which do they prefer, sweet or salty?" Since he was going to give mooncakes to someone, Jianshu naturally wanted to make it perfect, so he started to inquire immediately.
"They are all a bunch of animals. They can eat anything and have no dietary restrictions. As for taste, Jingshan likes salty food and sweet food as well; Lao Cao likes bean paste food, and his family used to buy bean paste food; Lao Qi likes five-nut food the most..." After all, they are brothers, and Gu Mingjing knows everyone's preferences very well.
I wrote them down one by one on Jianshu, thinking about what kind of mooncake fillings to make.
The two chatted for a while until the moon gradually rose to the zenith. Thinking that Gu Mingjing had to get up early tomorrow, they said good night to each other and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor of the room, bringing a bit of coolness.
