Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 254 The Weak Girl of the Age 61

Into the night

Gu Jin did not sleep and waited in the yard.

After waiting for a while, I heard a soft knock on the door.

Gu Jin opened the door and saw Han Tuo standing outside with half a wild boar on his back.

Gu Jin quickly made way for the door, and Hantuo strode in and put the half of the wild boar on the ground: "The wild boar has been delivered, I will leave first"

"Wait a minute." Gu Jin picked up the basket that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Hantuo: "Take some of the stewed chicken and mushrooms today to eat. I also prepared some salt for you. You can marinate the meat you can't finish and keep it for later."

Although the chicken stewed with mushrooms was a little cold, Gu Nuanyi added some spiritual spring water to it, so it was still very fragrant even though it was cold.

Hantuo smelled the fragrance, swallowed his saliva, and took the basket without hesitation.

Gu Jin continued, "Our family has given you half a pig for free. When your aunt cooks for you someday, we will send you some."

Hantuo happily went back with the basket of vegetables.

The aroma was so tempting that Hantuo couldn't help but heat up the chicken and mushroom stew when he got home, and also cooked some noodles.

Hantuo was very happy with his meal, but it was hard for the people living in the Youth Educated House next door.

Everyone was about to go to sleep, but suddenly they smelled the aroma of meat. How could they fall asleep?

"Gu~" Everyone's stomach growled.

Zhu K'er hugged her growling stomach and tossed around in bed. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and sat up: "How can I sleep like this!!!"

Hong Danxue licked her lips and said, "The people next door must be eating meat. It smells so good. I want to eat it too!"

Su Lian turned over and said, "You'd better go to sleep quickly. Dreams can bring you anything. Maybe you can even eat dragon meat in your dream."

Hong Danxue smacked her lips and said, "I don't want to drink corn porridge tomorrow. If I drink corn porridge every day, I'll become porridge. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the state-owned restaurant to eat meat!!!"

Zhu Ke'er felt her saliva was constantly flowing out: "This smells so good, do you have anything to eat?"

"We haven't been to the commune much recently, and we need food coupons and sugar coupons to buy those cakes. My family hasn't sent us the coupons for a long time..."

Zhu Ke'er got out of bed, lit a candle, and scooped some cornmeal from her grain bag: "I can't stand the smell, I want to get some food, do you want to come?"

Su Lian waved her hand: "No, I won't be hungry when I fall asleep..."

Hong Danxue and Zhu Keer took some cornmeal to the kitchen.

Someone is already busy preparing food in the kitchen.

Seeing Zhu K'er and the other person coming, he was not surprised. He cleaned the pot and gave it to them: "You guys can't sleep because of the fragrance, right?"

Zhu K'er nodded: "Yes, it really smells great"

"I'm so envious of Hantuo, he can eat whatever he wants, and he can even have meat in the middle of the night. Poor us, we can only drink corn porridge while smelling meat. After eating this meal, we will definitely go hungry in the future... It would be great if we had meat to eat too."

Listening to the man's muttering, Zhu Ke'er and the others suddenly felt that the corn paste in the bowl was no longer fragrant...

Hantuo ate all the chicken, mushrooms and noodles in the casserole in one go.

He licked his lips in satisfaction: "The food cooked by Uncle Gu Jin is much more delicious than what I cook myself!!"

Hantuo looked at the half pork on the ground, cut out the amount for tomorrow's meal, and pickled the rest with coarse salt.

Hanging on the beam above the stove to smoke bacon

After finishing the work, Hantuo was too sleepy.

Before falling asleep, Hantuo was still looking forward to the next meal that Gu Jin had mentioned.

The next day

When Gu Nuanyi woke up, she saw a string of pork hanging under the beam.

Guo Zhenru came out of the room with sleepy eyes. The dark circles under her eyes showed that she must have gone to bed very late. Guo Zhenru yawned and said, "Hantuo brought the meat over last night. Your father and I cleaned it up until late at night. My dear, don't ask for other people's things next time."

"Mom, he gave it to me on his own initiative. I felt relieved after accepting it. If anyone else saw it, they would definitely ask him to hand the wild boar over to the team."

"You can't just take half a pig's flesh. Just take a little. If you sell this meat on the black market, it will definitely be very popular."

Gu Jin put on his clothes and walked out and said, "I told Hantuo that I would send him a portion of the meat after I cook it. I also told you yesterday, dear boy, don't say it again. It's a rare opportunity to have so much meat to eat, it should be a happy thing."

Guo Zhenru looked at the meat under the beam with worry: "I'm afraid that idiot will regret it. After all, everyone in the team knows that he is very protective of his food! This much meat is no less than snatching food from a tiger's mouth..."

Gu Nuanyi raised her finger: "Mom, I promise you, if I meet that idiot again in the mountains, I will definitely stay away from him!!"

Gu Jin: "Well, dear, please cook more dishes tonight. Dad will ask Han Tuo to come for dinner, so we won't take his meat for nothing."

At noon when work was over, Gu Jin walked quickly to Hantuo and whispered, "Come to my house for dinner after work!"

Hantuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. He swallowed several times and asked in a low voice, "Is it as delicious as the chicken and mushroom stew from last night?"

"delicious!!"

"Then I'll go after work!" Hantuo laughed so hard that his eyes couldn't be seen, and he looked even more stupid.

After work, Hantuo quickly ran back to the courtyard, picked up his food and ran towards Gu Jin's house.

Luan Qie looked at Han Tuo's back with a puzzled look on his face: "Where is he going? Why is he in such a hurry?"

Zheng Hongchang: "I don't know. I wanted to ask him what he ate last night, but I was really confused."

Luan Qie: "You know it's meat without asking. They cook it by themselves, so you can eat whatever you want."

Zheng Hongchang: "Hey, why don't we go for a walk in the mountains? Let's see if we can bring back a pheasant or something."

Luan Qie nodded, and the two of them hit it off. They went back to get their axe and prepared to go up the mountain.

The new male educated youth Wu Gan saw Luan Qie and the other man holding a wood-cutting knife and followed them: "Are you going to the mountain? Can you take me with you?"

"We are going into the mountains. If you are not afraid, follow us. But let me tell you first, if anything happens, you can't blame us."

Wu Gan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I still have some ability to protect myself!!!"

Su Lian poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "If you three want to go out, can we save dinner for you?"

"Stay, we'll go for a walk up the mountain and come back."

the other side

Han Tuo came to Gu's house carrying his own rations

Gu Jin: "Why did you bring rations with you, kid? And you brought so much. How can you finish this meal?"

Hantuo touched his nose, wanting to say that he could really finish all the food: "Uncle Gu Jin, I have a big appetite..."

"No matter how big your appetite is, you will be able to eat your fill at your uncle's house. Remember to take these back later! Go wash your hands, dinner will be served soon."

Hantuo washed his hands while looking towards the kitchen. He sniffed several times and smiled when he smelled the aroma of meat.
