Chapter 312: Building an Oven Successfully
In the oven, the skin of the eggplant on the iron plate became wrinkled, Gu Xiaoyou pressed it with long chopsticks, and the eggplant became soft.
"It's baked." Gu Xiaoyou's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the iron plate out of the oven.
The roasted eggplant still has to continue to be processed, Gu Xiaoyou peeled off the eggplant on the iron plate one by one, the inside of the eggplant was fully cooked, and it became flocculent with chopsticks, and the sauce was evenly poured on the eggplant.
Putting the eggplant back in the oven, Gu Xiaoyou closed the oven door and said to Zhou, "You can eat it after a little more tea." ”
Zhou nodded when he heard this, looking forward to the taste of eggplant made in the oven.
After a cup of tea, Gu Xiaoyou opened the sliding door of the oven, and a pungent fragrance suddenly came out, and the backyard was filled with the fragrance of roasted eggplant.
"It smells so good." Zhou praised that she was not heavy on appetite, and she was suddenly hungry when she smelled this smell.
"Hey, let's try the oven-made eggplant." Gu Xiaoyou brought the iron plate to the table and handed the chopsticks to Zhou.
"Okay." Zhou picked up a mouthful of eggplant, blew the hot air, and couldn't wait to send it to his mouth.
The oven-baked eggplant is tender and juicy, and it is also stained with chopped millet pepper and garlic foam, and the juice comes out when you bite into it, and the juice is sweet and spicy with the unique flavor of eggplant.
The eggplant meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth without much effort to chew.
Zhou finished taking a bite, picked up the chopsticks and ate several bites, until he finished eating a whole eggplant, and then put down the chopsticks unsatisfied.
Gu Xiaoyou tasted the eggplant, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it?" ”
"It's delicious, I didn't expect the eggplant made in the oven to be so fragrant." Zhou took a sip of tea and put down his chopsticks at another eggplant, proving the deliciousness of the eggplant with his actions.
"Eat more if it's delicious." Gu Xiaoyou smiled and moved the iron plate in the direction of the Zhou family.
"You eat too." Zhou regained his reserve and said embarrassedly.
"Hmm." Gu Xiaoyou responded, picked up the eggplant and ate it.
The two sisters ate all the eggplants on the iron plate, and Gu Xiaoyou took a sip of water: "The oven is very successful, let's build a few more." ”
"Okay." Zhou Shi had a full stomach and responded energetically.
Gu Xiaoyou rolled up his sleeves and got busy in the backyard with Zhou, just like Zhou said, with the experience of the first one, it would be much faster to build an oven.
The two of them used all the materials they bought at the material market, and six ovens were set up in the yard.
The sun had set, and everything was hazy.
Gu Xiaoyou took advantage of the light of his mobile phone to look around the courtyard: "Six is enough, let's take these." ”
"Okay." Zhou slapped the ashes on his hands and picked up the broom in the corner: "I'll clean up the backyard." ”
Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the time on his phone: "I'll clean up tomorrow, the shop is closed, let's go home." ”
"yes, okay." Zhou nodded, put the broom away, locked the courtyard door with Gu Xiaoyou and left the store.
The two of them were busy for a day, moving bricks and building stoves, and they didn't feel tired when they were concentrating on their work, and when they came out of the shop, the feeling of fatigue suddenly welled up.
Gu Xiaoyou rubbed his waist and said with a bitter face: "Ouch, we should take it step by step, build six ovens in one go, and the iron man is also tired." ”
Zhou pinched his arm, and his expression didn't change much: "I'm okay, I used to work in the countryside to farm, which was much more tiring than building a stove." ”
"Really?" Gu Xiaoyou held her waist, looked at Zhou a few times, and saw that her expression was very relaxed, and she looked as usual after pinching her arm a few times.
And the dress on Zhou's body, except for the sleeves that are a little wrinkled, is still very neat in other places, on the other hand, the shoes are stained with mud, the skirt is rubbed with soil, and the sleeves are still held and not put down, like a wild girl rolling in the soil.
Compared with the two, Gu Xiaoyou admired and envied her heart, this physical strength was too good, she couldn't help but give Zhou a thumbs up, and gave herself a wax: "You are amazing." ”
"It's fine." Zhou Shiyun smiled lightly.
The two men came to the corner of the street while talking, and the carriage was already waiting in front of them.
When Gu Xiaoyou saw Zhixia waiting under the car, he stretched out his hand: "Come and mix me." ”
Zhixia hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Xiaoyou, and when she saw that she was in a mess, she asked with concern, "Miss, did you fall?" Are there any injuries? ”
"I'm fine, I'm just working." Gu Xiaoyou half leaned on Zhixia, got into the carriage and told her about setting up an oven in the afternoon.
Zhixia said while arranging Gu Xiaoyou's dress: "Why don't you call it a slave?" In the future, you can let the slave and maid do this kind of rough work. ”
After speaking, he patted the soil on Gu Xiaoyou's skirt and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "The slave will pinch your shoulders." ”
"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou didn't refuse Zhixia's kindness, and let her pinch her shoulder.
Zhixia was diligent and diligent, pinching Gu Xiaoyou's shoulders and massaging all the way back to the mansion.
Gu Xiaoyou almost didn't fall asleep comfortably, but was still woken up by Zhou, and was dragged back to the room by her and Zhixia in a daze.
"Sister Zhou, you're tired for a day, go back and take a good bath, and go to the shop tomorrow when you're full." Gu Xiaoyou advised.
"Don't worry about me, you can rest well." Zhou said with a smile, sent Gu Xiaoyou back to the room, and left.
Gu Xiaoyou sat at the table and breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhixia poured her a glass of water: "The slave maid will prepare hot water for you to bathe." ”
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou leaned on the table and answered.
Afraid of Gu Xiaojiu and others, Zhixia quickly prepared hot water with his subordinates.
Zhixia helped her to the back of the screen: "The slave maid is waiting for you to bathe." ”
"No, I can do it myself." Gu Xiaoyou waved her hand and refused, no matter how tired she was, she had to take a bath by herself, but she was still not used to being served.
Seeing Gu Xiaoyou's insistence, Zhixia had no choice but to wait outside the screen: "The slave is waiting outside, if there is something, you can call the slave maid." ”
"Got it." Gu Xiaoyou responded, and put the skirts she took off on the screen.
"The slave will put away your clothes." Zhixia said.
"Okay, put the purse next to my pillow." Gu Xiaoyou advised.
"Yes, the slave knows." Zhixia responded, and worked with his hands and feet.
Taking advantage of Zhixia's clean-up, Gu Xiaoyou took a comfortable bath, changed into a clean underwear, and walked straight to the bed.
Lying down on the bed with a big grin, Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief: "The bed is still comfortable." ”
"Slave and maid will press it for you again." Zhixia said thoughtfully.
"I'm sorry for you." Gu Xiaoyou turned over and lay on the bed: "Help me rub my waist, thank you." ”
"Miss, you're so polite." Zhixia smiled, rubbed his hands hot, and helped Gu Xiaoyou massage with the right strength.
