Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 87 Appreciation Banquet

Today's meal is very sumptuous! Live by the mountain and eat by the sea, and across the street is the outer edge of Yingdang Mountain!

Gu Wenzhi and Luo Feimo went into the mountains and hunted two wild rabbits, three pheasants, and brought back a silly spore, which left Carpenter Li stunned!

Gu Xiaolian took little Gu Lun to Widow Sun’s house and took back a large cabbage, a handful of half-grown onions, and a white radish!

We went to the well at the east end of the yard to fetch some water, and washed the vegetables while playing with their two little hands!

Two young men took over and plucked the pheasant with boiling water by the well, removed the internal organs in a few seconds, and chopped it into small pieces with a Qingtian Knife according to Gu Dalian's request, and then had Gu Xiaolian send it over!

It’s time for Gu Dalian to showcase her cooking skills!

Carpenter Li is in the yard, so he can't take out those pots and pans openly!

Gu Dalian ran to the main house where she lived, took out the pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and various seasonings, called Gu Xiaolian over, and the two sisters moved to the kitchen and put everything in place!

Little Gu Lun also ran back and forth with his short legs to get things. By the time Gu Dalian brought a large bag of forty or fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes to the kitchen so lightly, Carpenter Li was already stunned!

These good-looking kids are all very powerful!

"Second brother, quickly skin the rabbit so that my sister can make us some spicy rabbit meat!" Gu Xiaolian's eyes lit up when she mentioned eating it, and tears were about to flow from the corners of her mouth!

There are two stoves in the kitchen, a big one for cooking and a small one for frying! With the experience of fleeing famine, two stoves were not enough, so Gu Wenzhi built a temporary stone stove outside!

The big stove steamed sweet potatoes and multi-grain steamed bread, now I don't know what kind of food is available here? I can only follow the crowd!

I use an iron pan to fry chicken nuggets! I cook spicy rabbit meat outside! I soaked vermicelli and will fry cabbage vermicelli later! I will cook roe deer meat later after the roe deer meat is ready!

Slice the meat and soak it in clean water to remove the blood. After the roe deer meat is soaked, boil it in water, remove the meat, drain and set aside. Chop the green onion and ginger, mix the water starch and set aside.

Put oil in a wok, add chopped scallion and ginger slices when the oil is hot, stir-fry until fragrant, add the roe deer meat and stir-fry for a few times, add appropriate amount of salt, thirteen spices, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and sugar. Before serving, pour in water starch and stir-fry to reduce the sauce, then serve!

When the village head and his wife and Zhang Cai came over, the whole yard was filled with fragrance, and the fragrance even spread outside the yard!

At this time, Widow Sun also came over. Before she entered the yard, her voice floated in: "Hey, what kind of food is this? It smells so good. We are all blessed today!"

When the Gu Dalian sisters heard this, they hurried over with a smile!

"Aunt, my sister's cooking is delicious. Uncles and aunts are in for a treat today!"

Gu Xiaolian's bell-like voice made people feel like their ears could get pregnant, and several people walked into the yard happily!

Carpenter Li rushed to make a large square table and six high stools without stopping for a moment!

He felt that his hands and feet had become much faster when he was working in this yard, and he even began to wonder if there was an old immortal secretly watching over this yard.

It was still early and the yard was not cold, so the new table made by Carpenter Li was placed in the yard!

Put four full dishes on the table, a bowl of sweet potatoes, a bowl of multi-grain steamed buns, and let the village head and a few others sit at the table first!

There weren't that many high stools at home, and the villagers didn't have the custom of men and women sitting at different tables, so Widow Sun took the two sisters to someone else's house to find four high stools!

The chopsticks were chopped on the spot by Gu Wenzhi and Luo Feimo, one with a knife and the other with a dagger, which made the village head and others so shocked that their jaws could hardly drop!

The key is that his hand speed is too fast, leaving afterimages. In a blink of an eye, ten pairs of chopsticks are made, and even the burrs are removed cleanly!

Gu Wenzhi stood up and clasped his fists to the others: "Thank you for your help, Uncle Lizheng and the uncles and aunts. My brothers and sisters will be residents of Cuiyu Village in the future. We will remember your kindness in our hearts. Uncle Lizheng, please start eating first!"

Zhang Fa was the head of the village. He had gone to the county town for business before and had eaten in small restaurants a few times, but the food in front of him had never been as delicious as the one in front of him!

If it weren't for the decency, he would have put down his chopsticks long ago. After hearing this, he didn't hesitate to say anything. While putting down his chopsticks, he said, "Let's eat together. People in this village don't have so many rules!"

At the beginning, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, but later on, they all buried their heads in eating and stopped talking!

Every dish was fresh and delicious. The sweet potatoes were sweet and sticky, and even the multi-grain steamed buns were soft and fragrant. Several large pots of dishes were eaten up cleanly, even the sweet potatoes and multi-grain steamed buns were eaten up cleanly!

Several people were a little embarrassed. They ate the amount of two meals in one meal. It was so embarrassing!

Gu Dalian was very happy: "Oh, that's what I told you. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to finish it. That would prove that my cooking skills are not good enough!"

He made faces and touched his chest exaggeratedly, making several people laugh!

"My niece Dalian, where did you learn this skill from? I guess even the chef at Fu Man Lou in the county town can't cook as well as you!"

Widow Sun touched her round belly, and all the embarrassment she had just felt disappeared. She smiled and gave sincere compliments!

Zhang Fa also nodded repeatedly: "Your cooking skills are amazing, I have never eaten such delicious food!"

Zhang Fa's wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's as if you've eaten in so many restaurants!"

Everyone laughed! Carpenter Li didn't expect to have such a good meal while working. He stood up and went to work without saying much!

After eating such a delicious meal, I have to make beds for these kids, otherwise I will feel guilty!

After talking for a while, they were about to go back. Before leaving, Zhang Cai said to Gu Wenzhi, "I'm a constable in the county government. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me!"

Gu Wenzhi nodded and thanked them, then handed the divided roe deer meat to each family and sent them out the door!

Luo Feimo took little Gu Lun out for a snack. Gu Wenzhi put the bowls and dishes by the well and asked Gu Xiaolian to wash them! Gu Dalian wiped the table! Cleaned up the kitchen!

Gu Wenzhi stood the table top up and leaned it against the courtyard wall, then put the shelf away and put the stool back into the house!

According to Gu Dalian's instructions, the other four swords were returned to each household one by one. According to Gu Dalian, this is called recognizing the door!

When it was dark, Li Laoshi repaired the bed frames on both sides!

Gu Dalian didn't say much and directly gave Li Laoshi 600 coins. Li Laoshi refused to accept it: "This... can't be accepted... it's too much, just give me 300 coins!"

Li Laoshi felt that after eating so much meat, the money for the meat alone was more expensive than his wages!

Gu Dalian said, "Uncle Li, please don't refuse. You do a solid job. Today's work is much more complicated than usual!"

"You brought so much wood yourself. This is already a small amount for you. If you don't take any more, how can I ask you to do work for me in the future?"

Li Laoshi scratched his head in embarrassment, and his words stuttered: "...Well, then...I'll take it...If you need me to do any work in the future, just let me know!"

Gu Dalian handed him a piece of roe deer meat weighing two pounds tied with straw rope and said, "Take it back and give it to my aunt and Hu Zi to satisfy their cravings! Tell them that I will take my cousin to play with Hu Zi when I have time!"

Carpenter Li had no choice but to take it again. With an embarrassed look on his face, he put his tools into the backpack and went home!

Gu Xiaolian asked curiously: "Sister, why are you paying so much today?"

Gu Dalian smiled mysteriously: "This is called winning people's hearts. From now on, we will be the people of this village. You must remember not to look down on anyone, even a beggar, maybe you will need him one day!"

It was these words from Gu Dalian that saved her sister's life one day!
