Chapter 10: The Gu Family's Courtyard (1)

Li Haitang took advantage of the night to take Li Dongsheng and Li Dongmei to carry a basket of yams to the place where Gu's mother and son lived, but fortunately, the place where they lived was some distance away from the residents in the village, and the road was also a little off, and no one found their whereabouts.

For the arrival of Li Haitang's sister and brother, Gu Sushi showed great enthusiasm, the joy on his face was self-evident, and even Gu Yongjia's cold face had a hint of strangeness. What Li Haitang didn't know was that although Gu Su and Gu Yongjia lived in Lijia Village, they kept a distance from the people in the village. They have lived here for a few years, and no one else in the village has come back except for Li Haitang's mother-in-law. First, for outsiders, the people in the village have an inexplicable awe. Second, the various differences expressed by Gu Su's are also like invisible barriers.

"Begonia, eat here tonight. Auntie will make you something to eat. Gu Sushi happily took Li Haitang's hand.

"Auntie, no need, let's just go back and do something. I'm here to deliver yams to you today. Li Haitang refused.

Where can Gu Sushi let them go, pulling Li Haitang and Li Dongmei, he was stunned and didn't let go, and told Gu Yongjia to go to the butcher in the village to buy some pork and come back. Gu Yongjia listened, turned around and went to the house to get the copper plate, and walked out, Li Dongsheng saw this and followed, saying that he was with Gu Yongjia.

Looking at the courtyard of the Gu family, Li Haitang was envious, although this house is not big, it is very exquisite. In addition to a well, one side of the yard is planted with many flowers and plants, and on the other side is a vegetable patch, radishes and cabbage are growing well, and there are green stalks, and there is a grape trellis on the edge of the fence near the door, and many ripe grapes are hung.

The yard is so neatly tied, let alone in the house, this Gu Su is a person with interest. However, the more this is the case, the deeper the speculation in Li Haitang's heart about the Gu Su family, what was the identity of this woman before? Why did you live in seclusion in this Lijia Village? It's just that the host doesn't say it, and Li Haitang is not easy to ask.

Gu Sushi cut a few bunches of grapes, scooped water and washed them, and handed them to Li Dongmei and Li Haitang to eat. The three siblings rarely have the opportunity to eat such a delicious fruit, and no one in the village grows this thing, first, there is no extra energy to manage, and second, there is a little place to grow vegetables, and they will not grow this kind of thing that can be eaten as fruit.

Seeing that the two of them were eating happily, a comfortable smile appeared on Gu Su's lips. For these three sisters and brothers, she likes it in her heart, but she also feels guilty. When Li Gao's family settled here, only Li Gao's family extended a helping hand to her, the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, Li Gao's family withstood the pressure of her mother-in-law's family, and even begged her mother's family to help her settle down in this Li family village, even this house was helped by Li Gao's mother's family, although he calculated enough wages to give them, but in the eyes of Gu Su's family, this kindness can not be repaid with silver. After Li Gao's death, because it was not easy for a woman to live with a child, and she didn't want to cause any trouble, Gu Su's family became estranged from the Li family.

"Do you like to eat? After a while, Auntie will cut some grapes, and you will take them back and eat them. Gu Sushi smiled, turned around and entered the house again, and came out with a plate of snacks.

"When you two are hungry, eat some snacks and pad it, and when your brother Yongjia comes back after buying meat, your aunt will roast meat for you."

Looking at the delicate dim sum in Gu Su's hand, Li Haitang swallowed her saliva very unproductively, such a delicate dim sum, there was no one in her previous memory, this is the first time she has seen it, just looking at the appearance, she feels that this thing should be extremely delicious. Li Haitang is so unproductive, Li Dongmei is even more useless, her mouth is slightly open, and she almost drools.

"Aunt Gu, we're not hungry, you can put it away." Li Haitang came back to his senses and said with a push. This grape is planted by others, eat a little, this snack is not a cheap thing, how can you be embarrassed to eat it? Although Li Dongmei wanted to eat it very much, when she heard her eldest sister say this, she also shook her head obediently.

Gu Sushi smiled: "You two eat, this is made by Auntie herself, you give Auntie a taste, is it delicious?" Your brother Yongjia doesn't want to eat this sweet and greasy thing, every time my aunt makes it, no one eats it, and finally you two come, can't you help your aunt with this little favor? ”

Li Haitang naturally knew that Gu Su's was a set of deliberate rhetoric, but everyone said so, if he still shirked and didn't eat, it would be a bit too pretentious.

Crispy, sweet and not greasy, this dim sum is really delicious, Li Haitang sighed in his heart, even in modern times, I'm afraid it has to be a dim sum master to make it, right? It's a pity that such a good craft is buried in a small countryside.

"It's delicious...... Li Dongmei sighed sincerely, her dark eyes were shining, this snack was nothing less than a delicacy in the world for her.

Touching the residual dim sum residue on the side of her mouth, Li Dongmei raised her little face and asked, "Aunt Gu, what is this dim sum called?" ”

"Dongmei, look, does this snack look like a palm?" Gu Sushi asked with a smile.

Li Dongmei looked at the remaining snacks on the plate, and her little head was like a chicken pecking rice: "Like, like." Zangcai only cared about eating, and didn't look carefully at what this snack looked like.

Li Haitang asked suspiciously: "Is this a bergamot cake?" Aunt Gu. ”

Gu Sushi was surprised, but still nodded: "Have you eaten begonias before?" ”

Li Haitang shook his head and replied honestly: "No." But looking at the golden gold, it is the shape of the palm of the hand, and it tastes crispy, so I have this word in my head. "Well, Li Haitang admits that she had eaten this kind of dim sum before she crossed over.

Regarding Li Haitang's answer, Gu Sushi also believed it, after all, in a place like Lijia Village, there would never be such a dim sum.

The voices of Gu Yongjia and Li Dongsheng came from afar, and a tall and a short figure appeared in Li Haitang's sight. The tall Gu Yongjia was carrying a piece of red and white pork in his hand, and every step was extremely smooth, looking at it from a distance, it made people feel an indescribable stability in their hearts.

"Yongjia is back, and my aunt will roast meat for you to eat." Gu Sushi stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Li Haitang also followed into the kitchen: "Auntie, I'll help you." ”

The kitchen of the Gu family is clean and tidy, there are many vegetables in the corner, and there are many condiments on the stove. It seems that their food on weekdays is very good. Gu Sushi took out a few white-flour buns from the hanging basket and shocked Li Haitang! The general food in Lijia Village is still wild vegetables, buds, rice and noodles, which can be eaten at a time when the farm is busy. On weekdays, some rough sorghum rice is added to this nest, which is jerky and difficult to swallow. It can be seen that the Gu family's food on weekdays is like this, because they came suddenly, and the meat can be cut on the spot, but this thing is not prepared in advance. In this way, Gu Su's identity is a little more mysterious.

Li Haitang took out a yam from the basket he brought, washed it with water, chopped it into even segments and put it into a large bowl, and put it on the stove together with the white flour bun. Although he didn't know what this thing Li Haitang was holding, when he saw her put it in the pot, he knew that it was edible, and Gu Sushi didn't ask.

Make a fire and fill the kitchen with a burst of warmth. The farmer's kitchen has always been like this stove and one pot, so they need to steam the contents of the pot before they can stir-fry some vegetables. While lighting the fire, Gu Sushi opened his mouth and asked, "Begonia, what do you like to eat?" Auntie will do it for you. ”

Li Haitang didn't squirm, and said with a smile: "Auntie, we can just eat our stomachs." ”

Only then did Gu Sushi realize that these little guys were aiming to fill their stomachs every day, so why did they want to eat? I'm afraid they've always eaten bud rice noodles or something, right? Although Li Haitang didn't react on his face, Gu Sushi still felt that he had said the wrong thing, which made her feel uncomfortable, and said: "Your brother Yongjia doesn't know what's going on recently, he is always picky and unwilling to eat." My aunt has to ask him what he wants to eat before cooking every time, and he is used to it. ”

Li Haitang understood that she was worried that she was uncomfortable, so she said this, so she smiled and followed her words and said, "Auntie, I'll cook a dish in a while, and keep Brother Yongjia loves to eat." ”

Vinegared yam is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for appetizing.

Gu Sushi looked at Li Haitang and was surprised: "Begonia, do you still stir-fry?" ”

"Somewhat." Li Haitang did not hide that in his previous life, under the training of the stinky old man, he learned a fairly good cooking skill for the stinky old man's oppression. Gu Su's kitchen is full of seasonings and a variety of vegetables, so he can cook a few dishes by himself and express his heart. It's just that Gu Sushi didn't think so in her heart, she wondered what Li Haitang would do, the conditions of her family were just wild vegetable soup and the like, right?

Li Haitang made it on the bench, picked out a yam from the basket she brought, peeled it with the back of a knife, and quickly cut the yam evenly into slices, put it into the water prepared just now, and soaked it slightly. Yam is a thing, if you don't get it quickly, it will be oxidized and blackened after a while, and this situation can only be avoided after hot water.

Gu Sushi looked at Li Haitang with some dumbfounded, obviously she was so small, but she was so comfortable with a black kitchen knife, not only that, but even the smooth strength she used was enough to surprise her. Gu Sushi didn't think that he could use the knife so smoothly, and the things he cut out could be so uniform and thick. In short, strange.

Look at Li Haitang's neat brushing of the pot, stir-frying, the movements are smooth, without a trace of procrastination, in Gu Su's eyes, this kind of skill can only be done if she has been a cook for ten or eight years. A plate of green and white stir-fried vegetables comes out of the pot, and the aroma is overflowing, which makes people's appetite move. All of this reveals something surprising.

Li Haitang raised his head, looked at Su's appearance, and secretly said in his heart, it's broken, looking at this pile of spices, he can't help but be a little happy, and if he doesn't pay attention, he still thinks that he is in modern times.

"Aunt Gu......" Li Haitang shouted softly.

Gu Sushi came back to his senses and stared at Li Haitang tightly, as if he wanted to see something from her face. Li Haitang also thinks it's tricky now, a little girl who hasn't even been out of Lijia Village, it's not strange that she can cook, she can stir-fry, even if she has good knife skills. It's strange that there are so many little girls who have been working hard for food and clothing...... Li Haitang originally wanted to say that this was taught by his mother, but he remembered that Gu Su's family was very familiar with his mother, besides, even if he was not familiar, he was only four years old when his mother died, how could he learn this?
