Chapter 30: Which is the Best (Qingyun Plus Change)
Meng Zhen moved quickly, three meat dishes, plus a crockpot of chicken noodle soup, she only took less than half an hour to make them all, and even she gave the braised pork back to the pot.
When the courtyard of the Meng family was completely shrouded in the fragrance of vegetables and rice, Guo Xinger only felt as if she had suddenly lived a beautiful life like a fairy.
With so much meat and such a fragrant smell, she felt that she was happy enough just by smelling it.
"I've kept you waiting." After extinguishing the fire, Meng Hao walked out of the stove room with a smile.
Su Shen had already served her a big bowl of chicken noodle soup, and as soon as Meng Hao came in, Su Shen patted the position next to him and motioned for Meng Hao to sit between him and Hao Mengyun.
There were a total of eight people eating, Yan Zhenwu and Guo Yang sat together, Guo Xing'er sat between Guo Yang and Aunt Guo, Aunt Guo was next to Hao Mengyun, and on the other side of Hao Mengyun sat the chubby little Meng Qi, and the last two seats were sitting Su Shen and Meng Zhen.
Meng Hao has eaten three meals a day in her two lives, so she has long been accustomed to three meals a day, and today she was unable to get lunch because of the relationship between the Guo family, and she was already hungry at this time.
Sitting down next to Su Shen, Meng Hao picked up a bowl of pimple soup that had been cooled, and couldn't wait to pick up a small half bowl into his stomach.
Hao Mengyun, who has already eaten a lot of things, is very conscious of being the master, and in the few minutes that Meng Hao was busy filling her stomach, she has been warmly greeting Aunt Guo's mother and daughter to eat and eat.
Yan Zhenwu was not idle, he sat next to Guo Yang, which was very convenient for greeting guests.
With him and Hao Mengyun constantly holding chopsticks to sandwich meat and vegetables for this family of three, Meng Zhen and Su Shen didn't bother to persuade the Guo family to eat.
The two of them first ate a bowl of cold white gnocchi soup each, and then ate some vegetarian dishes separately.
Little Meng Qi, who was sitting between Hao Mengyun and Meng Hao, ate chicken noodle soup, he was still young, and Meng Hao didn't dare to give him too much cold food.
She sandwiched fragrant scrambled eggs, oily stewed eggplant, and smooth and tender old tofu into Xiao Mengqi's bowl of chicken noodle soup, and let him soak some in chicken soup.
Xiao Meng Qi is not a picky eater, and the little guy will take the chopsticks and put them into his mouth with his own efforts.
"It's so delicious~~~" was stuffed by Hao Mengyun with almost two large bowls of meat, and even killed a bowl of gnocchi soup and a bowl of chicken noodle soup, Guo Xing'er ate a round belly.
Aunt Guo and Guo Yang were not far behind, the mother and son were forced to stuff a lot of things into their own bowls, and in the end they could only endure the distress and eat silently into their stomachs.
This was the fullest and best meal they had ever eaten in their lives, and as soon as they put down their chopsticks, Aunt Guo had already figured out how to repay Meng Zhen and the others.
She and Guo Xing'er rushed to help Meng Zhen wash the dishes, and Meng Hao knew that they were uneasy, so she generously gave up the stove room.
Guo Yang had nothing to do, so he simply returned to his house and picked two bundles of the biggest and best firewood and sent them to Meng Zhen's house.
Seeing Su Shen, he also promised Su Shen in a low voice, "In the future, I will send you two bundles of firewood every day." β
Su Shen didn't refuseβanyway, Meng Hao wouldn't let the Guo family suffer.
β... Peppers, eggplants, and the like should be raised first, and I will send you seedlings directly in a few days. After helping to wash the dishes, Aunt Guo took Guo Xing'er back to her house.
Guo Yang had already helped Meng Zhen and them borrow the ox cart before, and Yan Zhenwu saw it and hurriedly moved all the prey that was ready to be sold to the ox cart.
Guo Yang helped people to the end, and helped Yan Zhenwu finish moving things, and with a wave of his whip, the young man directly drove the ox cart to send Yan Zhenwu to Mujia Town.
Meng Hao was not idle, she handed over Xiao Meng Qi to Hao Mengyun to watch, and she herself was accompanied by Su Shen and went to the Qingshui River.
She went to pick up stones, as a little expert in hidden weapons, Meng Hao still likes to use stones as a "hidden weapon" that is not expensive.
While the two were picking up the stones, Meng Hao whispered to Su Shen about his grand plan, "... I'll help you get a slingshot, a wooden crossbow, and some wooden arrows tomorrow. β
Although Su Shen had already made up his mind to learn martial arts from Meng Hao, he did not have the weapon at his disposal.
At present, they are shy and can't afford to buy a good long sword or dagger, so Meng Hao plans to teach him secret weapons, body techniques, and fist and foot kung fu first.
When she got money, she asked Yan Zhenwu to help Su Shen get a long sword.
Fortunately, Su Shen is a down-to-earth, hard-working and good boy, without weapons, and this child does not have a slack mentality.
Meng Hao asked him to tie a horse step, he tied a horse step, Meng Zhen asked him to tie a sandbag, he tied a sandbag, Meng Zhen asked him to pick up stones, he picked up stones, a little more obedient than Xiao Meng Qi, who would be naughty every three or five.
The two stayed by the river until sunset, and then they returned to Meng Zhen's house with a bag of stones.
Meng Zhen and Meng Qi's house was next door to Guo's house, and Su Shen's house was at the edge of the village, separated only by a stone wall from Meng's house.
When the two returned home, Yan Zhenwu had already returned from the town for almost an hour.
He sold all the dead prey he had brought back, leaving only four hares and three pheasants still alive.
There are four hares, three males and one female, and Meng Hao plans to eat all two of them one after another, and then leave one male and one female at home.
As for the three pheasants, the rooster Meng Zhen also planned to kill and eat meat, and she planned to cut the wings of the two hens and keep them at home - so that she would not have to buy chickens to lay eggs.
"Is it okay to drink porridge at night? Served with cold vermicelli, stir-fried spinach, scrambled eggs, and cucumbers. β
Put away the stones she picked up, and Meng Hao asked for the opinions of everyone in the family.
Xiao Meng Qi touched his still round little belly, indicating that he didn't need to eat another dinner.
Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu also waved their hands again and again, saying that they were still very full.
Meng Hao looked at Su Shen, and Su Shen also shook his head slightly at her.
Meng Hao had no choice but to give up the idea of cooking, "Then I'll make you a slingshot now." β
When Xiao Meng Qi heard this, he immediately came over, "Sister, Sister, I want it too, I want it too!" β
Yan Zhenwu took the fat boy away, "Come here, Uncle Yan will make you the most beautiful and sturdy." β
Xiao Meng Qi immediately abandoned his sister, "Uncle Yan, you are the best!" β
Meng Zhen: ...... What about the best sister who said yes? You little fat man who can't be trusted at all!
When the sky was completely dark, Yan Zhenwu and Meng Zhen finally made two slingshots for Xiao Meng Qi and Su Shen successively.
Yan Zhenwu's skills are very good, and the slingshot he made is obviously better than that made by Meng Hao, and Xiao Meng Qi was very satisfied, so he took the slingshot and began to run around the yard.
Meng Hao felt that the slingshot she made was a little out of her hands, but fortunately, Su Shen didn't dislike anything.
He comforted Meng Hao, "Simple and elegant, strong and durable, I think this slingshot you made is quite suitable for me." β
Meng Hao felt that her glass heart was instantly healed.
