Chapter 67: The Great Uncle
Yan smiled and accepted the money, and Sister Yuan took Shen Kuo and them into the stove room.
During the meal, Brother Yan suddenly used chopsticks to pick up a piece of pig's trotters and put it in Shen Kuo's bowl, "Brother-in-law, eat pig's trotters, my sister stewed them!" When the little guy said the words of the stewed sister in the back, he deliberately said it very loudly.
"Hmm!" Shen Kuo's thin lips were slightly hooked, and his ink-colored eyes glanced at Gu Jiujiu with a smile. Then, he lowered his head and ate the piece of pig's trotter in the bowl.
Although, Shen Kuo didn't say anything, just looked at himself lightly, and Gu Jiujiu also clearly felt the ambiguity in his eyes.
His face was slightly hot, and Gu Jiujiu took a mouthful of rice into his mouth indiscriminately.
Yan naturally saw the small movements between Shen Kuo and Gu Jiujiu, but she just didn't see it. The relationship between her daughter and son-in-law is good, and she is naturally happy in her heart.
Sister Yuan likes to drink soup, and the little guy drank a small half of the pig's trotter soup in the bowl, and the little belly was eaten round.
After eating, Yan went to Gu's house again, saying that he would come back before dinner.
After Yan left, Gu Jiujiu planned to make the two pig thighs in the stove room into dried meat. When it is done, it will be sent to the shopkeeper of the inn.
Shen Kuo knew that Gu Jiujiu was going to make dried meat, so he didn't leave after eating, just waited in the stove room to help her make it together.
Yesterday, Gu Jiujiu taught Shen Kuo once, and today, he didn't need Gu Jiujiu to say anything, he was very skilled in cutting the meat on the pig's thigh into thin slices first.
Looking at Shen Kuo's elegant movements, Gu Jiujiu couldn't imagine that this guy would cut the meat so beautifully.
After cutting the meat, Shen Kuo marinated it according to the previous method.
Gu Jiujiu stood aside, most of the things were done by Shen Kuo, she did a small part. Finally, when it was time to bake the dried meat, Brother Yan came over and pulled Shen Kuo to teach him to write.
The heat of baking the dried meat is not easy to master, and Gu Jiujiu didn't plan to let Shen Kuo bake the dried meat, but after he was pulled away by Brother Yan, Gu Jiujiu was ready to start baking the dried meat himself.
Slowly baking all the dried meat, Gu Jiujiu was saying that he would wrap the roasted dried meat with oiled paper, when he heard someone walking in from outside the courtyard.
Listening to the voice, it seems to be two people, it can't be someone from the Gu family coming again, right?
Knowing that none of the people in the Gu family were fuel-efficient lamps, and they were afraid that all the dried meat they had just made would be taken away by them, Gu Jiujiu opened the rice jar and temporarily put the finished dried meat inside.
After putting the dried meat, Gu Jiujiu walked out of the stove room.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Gu Jiujiu saw two people in coarse cloth dresses walking towards her with chicken coops in their hands. Looking at the two people in front of him, one looked to be about fifty years old, and the other looked to be about thirty years old.
Trying to search the memories in his head, Gu Jiujiu knew that the two people who came, the older one was Yan's mother, that is, her grandmother, and the younger one was the daughter-in-law of Yan's eldest brother, that is, her eldest aunt.
In my memory, her grandmother and this aunt were very good and kind to them, and they would always send them some good things.
At that time, when they were kicked out of the Gu family, her grandmother found out and brought them some rice and food.
