Chapter 13: The Fiancée

The chicken that Mu Yao hit is a wild pheasant with bright hair, the skeleton is not too big after plucking, but it can be seen that it is very strong, such a chicken, the meat is firm and elastic, and it is not suitable for braising or making soup.

Gu Nansang set up a fire in the open space, burned the capillary tubes on the chicken skin with straw, cut open the abdomen, and took out the internal organs to clean them. Then add green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and wine to marinate, and then go to the stove to find some charcoal that has not burned clean, and set up a simple grill with fresh branches.

Although Zhou Qingxiao was called to help pluck the chicken feathers, most of the time it was Gu Nansang who was doing it, she didn't care at all about Zhou Qingxiao's interested eyes, her hands moved smoothly, she took a bamboo slice through the chicken body, dipped it in oil with a brush, and put the chicken on the branch grill.

The brush was made of pig hair, washed and tied together, cut neatly with scissors, and then inserted a wooden stick into it.

"Cousin, remember to flip, don't burn it." Gu Nansang clapped his hands and stood up: "I'll go to the backyard to pull some shallots." ”

"Okay." Zhou Qingxiao nodded.

He was actually quite curious, what strange ideas this little girl had in her head, but it was still so practical.

He probably understood this family, his father died early, his mother was not good at farming, and the eldest son used to work as a day worker in the city, but now he has returned to take care of the family. The eldest daughter married early, and the second daughter Gu Nansang was very thoughtful, and started a radish cake business, which brought changes to this poor family, and the second son was smart and studious, occasionally naughty, but his nature was not bad.

In just two days, Zhou Qingxiao knew so much, thanks to Gu Beihuai's lack of a city government, and he was bent on treating him as his brother, it can be said that he knew everything and said everything, and completely left behind his sister's explanation of "spying" Zhou Qingxiao.

Gu Nansang's backyard is full of greenery, the shallots have been transplanted for a short time, and they are already lush and lush, and some leeks are also growing well, and the pepper seedlings transplanted not long ago have also completely survived. As for those roses, for some reason, they bloom for a long time, and the flowers bloom extremely enthusiastically.

Gu Nansang was also a person who liked flowers and plants in his previous life, but since he came to another world, he has been busy running around for life all day long, and he has long lost those leisure and leisure, so he has been put on hold.

"System, my cheap cousin, do you know where he came from?" Gu Nansang pinched the shallots while asking the system in his heart.

"I don't know." The farming system said: "I can't get this person's information. ”

"Hey, you're such a chicken." Gu Nansang dislikes the system every day.

The "......" system is really irrefutable.

"I was attacked by an unknown program before, and the internal data was disordered, although the main program helped me recover some, but the rest needs to be calculated and recovered by myself. When I'm fully recovered, I won't be asleep for a long time, and I can provide more data assistance to the host. ”

"And how much have you recovered now?" Gu Nansang straightened up and shook off the dirt on his hands.

"Thirty percent."

“…… Convinced. Gu Nansang turned around and went into the front yard.

Wu Cuihua was talking to Xu's at the door, followed by Wang Juanzi, holding a vegetable basket on her thin wrist, as if she wanted to give some seasonal vegetables to Xu's.

"Now our family sells turnip cakes in the town, although it is still poor, but it is already able to feed and wear, Sister Cuihua, your family is not easy, you really don't always have to come to help us."

Xu's words are already a cliché, and it is not the first time that the two families have sent vegetables and fruits to each other, and they always have to refuse a few back and forth before they can be counted.

Gu Nansang was accustomed to it, glanced at Zhou Qingxiao in the corner, and saw that he was turning the pheasant with a serious expression, and from time to time according to Gu Nansang's previous instructions, brushing a thin layer of soy sauce.

The chicken is still half-raw, and the aroma is already coming out at this time.

She was about to walk over and take over, but when she saw Wang Juanzi get a look from Wu Cuihua, she suddenly trotted in with the vegetable basket, put the basket at the kitchen door, turned around and was about to run out, but she was stunned.

There is a small open space next to the kitchen, leaning against the wall on three sides, and one is ventilated, and it just so happens that Zhou Qingxiao is sitting in that vent to roast chicken.

Gu Nansang had seen a lot of outstanding-looking stars and little fresh meat in his previous life, and he was very wary of Zhou Qingxiao, so he didn't feel how dazzling he was.

But Wang Juanzi is different, she grew up in Lotus Village, and came into contact with the farmers in the fields and the little children rolling in the mud.

Therefore, the moment she saw Zhou Qingxiao, Wang Juanzi was instantly stunned.

Some people, even if they fall into the dust, can't hide their beauty.

Zhou Qingxiao was wearing a dusty robe, sitting on a pile of hay, his long hair was loosely tied behind his head, and there was a smear of black ash on his forehead.

But it does not hide his extraordinary bearing.

Handsome and elegant, chic and uninhibited.

Gu Nansang witnessed all this and silently recited a sin.

"Cousin." She walked over with a smile, standing no more, no less, just enough to block Wang Juanzi's sight.

She smiled brightly, but Zhou Qingxiao knew that she was not as simple as she seemed.

"Cousin, what's the matter?" He also replied with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes crooked, and he was pure.

"Go get some caramel candy." Gu Nansang squatted down next to him and took the bamboo slices with the chicken on the skewers.

How could Zhou Qingxiao not know her thoughts, she was funny in her heart, but she also felt that she was kind.

It is also said that he is an unidentified stranger, and it is very kind to let him live in, and the neighbor treats them well, and she does not want to let the neighbor's daughter fall into her own whirlpool.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Qingxiao felt that it was understandable that Gu Nansang did not want to see him.

Wang Juanzi's eyes followed Zhou Qingxiao into the kitchen, and only then did she come back to her senses and look at Gu Nansang with some envy.

"......" Gu Nansang was numb when he saw it.

"Juanzi, have you had lunch?" She greeted her.

Wang Juanzi shook her head, hesitated for a moment, blushed, and asked in a low voice, "Nansang, just now...... That person just ......"

"Oh, you said him." Gu Nansang lied without changing his face: "That's my cousin, who came to visit my mother, and will leave in a few days." ”

“…… Oh. Wang Juanzi lowered her eyes, and her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the kitchen.

Gu Nansang felt that it was not good, and said: "My cousin is old, but he still has no power to tie the chickens, and he doesn't farm all day. ”

Wang Juanzi whispered: "I see Xu Gongzi's face, is he a scholar?" ”

…… You can see it.

Xu Gongzi called out, but I usually didn't see that this girl's brain was turning quickly.

Gu Nansang choked speechlessly, touched his nose, and made up for the last knife: "If he can read, he won't be like this...... Hey, pity the girl who was betrothed to him. ”

"......" The joy on Wang Juanzi's face was suddenly cut off.

Gu Nansang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took a pack of radish cakes from the kitchen, stuffed it into the depressed Wang Juanzi, and pretended to send her away unconsciously.

Zhou Qingxiao was also in the kitchen, and after receiving Gu Nansang's eyes, he consciously did not go out.

It wasn't until Wang Juanzi and Wu Cuihua were gone that he came out with a small bowl of caramel and pretended to be shocked: "Cousin, I'm ...... Still have a fiancée? ”

Gu Nansang narrowed his eyes.

"Naturally, there are, and I will remember to tell others like this in the future."

Zhou Qingxiao tried to hold back a smile: "...... Good. ”

This pheasant is really resistant to roasting, until noon to eat, it is still not fully cooked, Gu Nansang made the fire to the minimum, leaving only a small piece of charcoal underneath, coated with melted starch sugar, and asked Zhou Qingxiao to eat together.

It wasn't until half an hour later that a strong fragrance came from the kitchen, and even Gu Dongqing couldn't help but ask, "Nansang, what delicious did you make?" ”

Gu Nansang smiled, brought everyone to the kitchen door, and said, "This is what my eldest brother and I bought in Mu Yao's hands today, mother, what do you think, how about selling it in Anping City?" ”

"This ......" Xu Shi groaned slightly, and said: "It's good, but we are afraid that we don't have the capital to do this business now." ”

"We don't, Mu Yao does." Gu Nansang winked at Gu Dongqing.

Gu Dongqing is a very business-minded person, and through the observation of selling radish cakes during this time, Gu Nansang can see it.

Sure enough, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Although Mu Yao is a good hunter, he always can't sell for a good price, but you have solved his urgent need." ”

"What if we add our hot sauce?"

Gu Dongqing frowned at this time: "Nansang, eldest brother knows that you want to make a name for yourself in hot sauce, but we are always no better than in the book, maybe the people of Youzhou are really spicy, but we ...... here after all."

"I have to try." Gu Nansang smiled, cut off one leg of pheasant's meat, wrapped it in lotus leaves, filled it with a little dried pickles and hot sauce, and handed it to Gu Dongqing: "Brother, you can give it to Mu Yao to try, see if he is willing?" ”

Gu Dongqing couldn't, he also knew Gu Nansang's intentions, if the hot sauce was successful in one fell swoop, it would naturally become a monopoly of good business, but at the moment, it seemed that it was really difficult......

He sighed, took it in the end, and took these things to Mu Yao's house.

Gu Nansang also cast a wide net, thinking that if the noodle restaurant in Anping City didn't work, he would have to prepare for Mu Yao to try.

"Why don't people here accept hot sauce? I don't eat spicy food, hey. She complained about the system.

The system was silent, not knowing how to answer her, and suddenly said, "Someone is coming, at the back door." ”

Gu Nansang felt a little strange in his heart, why didn't he talk when someone came to him? But immediately there was a knock at the door.

Thanks to the system reminder, the kitchen is still some distance from the back door, and if it is usual, it may not be able to hear.

Xu had already gone out to the field to see the crops, Gu Nansang wrapped the remaining roast chicken, kept it for the evening, and told Gu Beihuai to write, not to steal food, and turned around to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a woman with a beautiful face, combing her hair in a bun, her face was ruddy, her eyes were full of spring water, she was pinching her waist and covering her lips and smiling, looking full of charm.

Gu Nansang raised his eyebrows.

"Auntie, who are you?"

Feng Jiao almost stumbled.

She helped a pink azalea on the side of her sideburns, and said softly: "Nansang girl, do I look old?" ”
