Gu Zheng really had to stand on tiptoe to barely sweep away the cobwebs in the corner, so as soon as Zhang Erhu took the initiative to help, she unceremoniously handed him the bamboo pole that swept the cobwebs, and immediately unceremoniously sent Zhang Dahu a job: "Brother Dahu, you help me wipe the table and chair, so I can free up my hands to clean up the kitchen." After a while, everything is packed up, I still have to go into the city, buy some daily things and come back, do you have time to accompany me on a trip? ”

"Available, free!"

Zhang Dahu hurriedly responded, while putting the vegetables and fruits in his hand on the ground, and immediately took the initiative to take a rag, and after wetting it, he happily wiped the table and chairs for Gu Zheng, and patted his chest and promised: "You go to clean up the kitchen, I and Erhu are all responsible for the work in this house, you don't have to worry about it!" ”

Gu Zheng was not polite to them when he heard this, so he immediately turned around and went to clean up the kitchen......

After a few rooms were simply cleaned up, Gu Zheng carefully counted the things that were missing at home, and secretly wrote them down before lifting the curtain of white flowers on a blue background and entering the inner room, while moving the rice jar to take the board and dig a pit, he said to Gu Liniang who was lying on the bed in kimono: "Mother, there are no things that need to be used in the house for firewood, rice, oil and salt, I have to rush into the city to buy some, otherwise we will have to starve." ”

Gu Liniang was still distressed about the rich days that left her, and she was not interested in anything else, so she only "hummed" a few times after listening to Gu Zheng's words, and after humming, she pulled the bed and covered her head and fell asleep, looking unwilling to accept the reality.

Gu Zheng could only shake his head helplessly when he saw it, and he didn't persuade her, he only took out two pieces of broken silver from the hidden dirt pit, and after a little calculation, he felt that it was not enough, so Gu Zheng grabbed an extra handful of copper plates and brought them.

After taking the money, Gu Zheng called Zhang Dahu to enter the city together, and before going out, he didn't forget to ask Zhang Erhu for something in a sweet and glutinous voice: "Brother Erhu, can you go up the mountain to help our family pick up some firewood?" You see, our family doesn't have anything at the moment, and I don't have so much money for a while to put all the things that are missing in order, so I can only save the same. ”

Zhang Erhu prides himself on being a good boy who is righteous, and Gu Zheng's voice begging him is sweet and soft, which is very good, so he immediately coaxed him and agreed: "No problem, your firewood is all on me!" I can't chop you a load and a half back, but it won't be a problem to pick a few for you to cope with for a few days. ”

Gu Zheng happily thanked Zhang Erhu when he heard this, and then rushed to the city with Zhang Dahu, first looking for a rice shop to buy a bucket of brown rice, and then went to the shop that sold oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to make two taels of oil, a pound of coarse salt, and poured a bottle of vinegar and a bottle of sauce; After buying all these seasonings, Gu Zheng went to the butcher shop to cut two taels of pork, and then bought two pieces of tofu and a fish.

Except for the rice dishes that must be eaten daily, Gu Zheng didn't dare to buy other items for the time being, after all, she only had the gold and silver sent by Cen Yuanniang and a few people at hand.

Although twenty taels of silver can be used by ordinary people for a year, the gold and silver that Gu Zheng got can save some flowers, and they can also spend a year and a half for their mothers, but they can't spend money lavishly and without scruples, and they have to spend every penny of money...... Besides, Gu Zheng also plans to take out some of the money to make a small deal and get a long-term and stable income for her and Gu Liniang, and at the moment, she can't spend money indiscriminately.

When Gu Zheng bought all his things and rushed back to Aotou Village, Zhang Erhu had already picked up a bundle of firewood and sent it to Gu Zheng's kitchen, and after Gu Zheng had this firewood, he could cook on the fire...... I saw that she put away the things she bought separately first, and then thanked Zhang Dahu and Zhang Erhu before she could cook in an orderly manner.

It is said that Gu Zheng had just passed through and found an opportunity to go to the stove of Zhang Dahu's house to study for a few days, and then he regained his ability to cook at his grandmother's house in the countryside in his previous life. So after being disappointed in Gu Liniang's cooking skills, Gu Zheng naturally took over the kitchen at home, and became the person who cooked and cooked at a young age.

Because she had been burning a month's worth of farmhouse rice before, although she hadn't done it for a few months, Gu Zheng's movements were still very skillful——— I saw that she first picked up the hay and started the fire, and when there was a "crackling" sound in the stove, after the hay on the stove road was slowly burned, Gu Zheng picked a few branches of dry firewood that were not thick and half thick and stuffed in.

Taking advantage of the fact that the dry wood was slowly burning, Gu Zheng hurriedly grabbed a handful of rice and threw it into the pot to wash, washed it clean, put a scoop of water into it, and put the pot on the stove after covering the pot, intending to slowly boil the porridge over low heat.

It takes at least half an hour to boil this porridge, and the effort in the middle just gives Gu Zheng time to clean up the other dishes...... After Gu Zheng washed the fish, meat, vegetables, etc., and the porridge in the pot was just churning, Gu Zheng saw it, so he sprinkled a handful of the finely cut Bai Song into the porridge, planning to boil a vegetable porridge.

Then Gu Zheng heated the other stove, first wiped the bottom of the iron pot with fat, and then put the previously marinated meat down and stir-fried it when the bottom of the pot was stained with oil. Gu Zheng wanted to eat better for the first meal when he went home, and to relax Gu Liniang's heart, so after frying the meat slices, Gu Zheng adjusted the sauce and steamed a soy sauce water fish that Gu Liniang loved to eat......

It wasn't until he saw that the food was about to be served, Gu Zheng leaned out half of his body from the kitchen and shouted to the back room: "Mother, the food is almost ready, and you can eat soon, you quickly get up and set up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks!" ”

After Gu Zheng finished shouting, he retracted his body back into the kitchen, first brought the meat slices that had been fried early in the morning to the hall, then brought out the soy sauce and water fish in the steamer, and finally brought the vinegar to the table. I didn't know that Gu Zheng had all the dishes in place, and I didn't see Gu Liniang get up to set the dishes and chopsticks, and there was no movement in the back room.

Gu Zheng thought that Gu Liniang was not happy in her heart, so she didn't want to get up to eat, so she had no choice but to put the white porridge on the table first, and then went into the house to tell Gu Liniang to get up: "Okay, mother, don't be depressed all the time, things have come to this point, you can't go back to Cen House even if you travel for a day and a night." ”

Gu Liniang, who was lying on the bed with her back to Gu Zheng, was still motionless, and she didn't know if she was angry with herself or didn't wake up at all, anyway, she didn't give the slightest response to what Gu Zheng said.

This Gu Liniang used to be childish and angry with Gu Zheng, so Gu Zheng saw that she didn't move, just when her childlike temper was committed again, she had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed, patted her back and said, "Mother, I made your favorite soy sauce steamed fish and vinegar white song!" If you don't eat again, it'll be cold! Don't you like cold food the most? In order not to waste those good dishes and my thoughts, don't be angry anymore and get up and eat quickly, okay? ”

Gu Zheng persuaded with good words and good words, and chose Gu Liniang's favorite dishes to tempt, but Gu Liniang still turned her back to Gu Zheng motionlessly, and didn't even snort, which made Gu Zheng suddenly feel puzzled, and subconsciously pushed Gu Liniang...... Who knew that as soon as Gu Zheng pushed Gu Liniang and Gu Liniang, she lay flat, but after lying down, she still didn't react at all, and she slept to death at all!

Gu Zheng saw that his heart sank subconsciously, the smile on his face gradually froze, and his hand immediately kept shaking Gu Liniang's body: "Mother, wake up!" Wake up! Don't make a fuss, wake up! ”

Gu Liniang still didn't react at all, which made Gu Zheng feel a little more ominous in her heart, and also made her lose her mind slightly, shaking Gu Liniang desperately, thinking that Gu Liniang was just sleeping too dead and that nothing could happen...... Fortunately, God didn't let what Gu Zheng was afraid of in her heart happen, but after Gu Zheng shook Gu Liniang desperately for a while, she finally woke up slowly!

However, although Gu Liniang woke up, her consciousness was still a little blurry, and her mouth suddenly became angry: "Nannan, my mother feels that her chest is tight, and her head is dizzy, so uncomfortable......"

As soon as Gu Zheng heard Gu Liniang's words, she realized that Gu Liniang was sick, so she immediately put her hand on Gu Liniang's forehead, and when she touched it, she found that it was really hot, not the temperature that a normal person should have!
