Chapter 19: Grain for Meat

"What kind of person is my cousin, that's going to be a showman, let alone eating, it's impossible to look at the things that come out of this mud roll!" Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zheqi, who was standing by the window and looking this way, and said in a high voice.

"Auntie, you have a lot more food than we do, and since you don't want to give it out, then we won't give you anything! I'm talking here, if anyone dares to rob openly, no matter who it is, I will beat it up! ”

"Are you determined to eat alone?" Old Man Gu had a gloomy face, and his crutches hit the ground hard.

"Yes!"

Old Man Gu choked on his words, and after thinking about it, Gu Zhiqi forced himself to swallow this breath again. Wait a minute, even if he spends all his family resources, he will inevitably let his grandson be admitted to Xiucai next year, and when the time comes, he will definitely let this girl who doesn't know what regret is!

"Dad, that's it? If you want your daughter-in-law to say it, you have to let the whole village come and see it, so that she won't be able to marry for the rest of her life! ”

"What's the matter, hurry up and bring the flour into the house!" Old Man Gu scolded Zhao sharply, and walked into the house with one hand behind his back.

Gu Jiu sneered and continued to say, "Second aunt, have you forgotten that your cousin and uncle are children?" What a shame to say this! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiu'er's face immediately fell, and she threw the noodles to Gu Youcai unhappily and turned around and entered the house.

Her Xiaoqi can send silver to the family now, and Xiaoba can still make a lot of money after that, which is not a living baby! Day by day, I don't know what Old Man Gu thinks, so I care about Gu Zhiqi. How about being a showman, how good the showman in the town has never seen!

Before Gu Youcai could take the multigrain flour in, Old Man Gu trotted out in a hurry: "Gu Jiu!" Why is there a bag of noodles missing? ”

Gu Youcai was stunned, looked at the noodles in his hand, raised his head and comforted: "Dad, don't worry, the noodles are here!" ”

"You think I'm old and confused?"

Gu Youcai: "...... That's not what the son meant. ”

Old Man Gu took three steps and one step at a time, and walked in front of Gu Jiu in the blink of an eye: "I just counted the noodles in there this morning, a total of nine and a half bags of noodles, how did it become seven and a half bags now?" ”

Gu Jiu unhurriedly took out the rest of the dishes: "You said that you watched it in the morning, so anyone can go in and get it during this time." Besides, I came out of the house and carried that bag of noodles, and I never left your sight the whole time, where did I have the ability to hide things? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiu'er, who was about to leave, stopped suddenly, Old Man Gu won't search every room! They didn't steal the noodles, but they did steal something else. Not to mention the private money stolen, the half of the roast duck sent by Xiao Qi has not been eaten yet!

Old Man Gu was originally sure that Gu Jiu took it, after all, he hadn't had an accident for such a long time, but when he saw Zhao's expression, Old Man Gu suddenly had doubts in his heart.

"In that case, let's search every room! Whoever finds it from anyone is not allowed to eat for three days. Second, it starts with you. ”

Hearing Old Man Gu's words, Zhao Xiu'er immediately panicked: "Let's start with the big room first...... No! ”

Seeing Old Man Gu walking straight towards their house, Zhao Xiu'er looked at Gu Youcai, who was still standing in place, and was so angry that she kicked it: "What are you stunned about?" Don't stop your dad yet! ”

The so-called want to cover up, the more Zhao Xiu'er has the intention to intercept, the more determined Old Man Gu is to check them first. Sure enough, after a while, I found the roast duck at the bottom of the clothes cabinet that I hadn't finished eating.

"I said, why does this dress smell like meat? The co-author is the second brother and daughter-in-law who stole the meat! Wang Shi took the meat yin yang and said in a strange manner: "Qi'er has been studying every day in the middle of the night, and he has lost a lot of weight visibly with the naked eye. Second brother and daughter-in-law, how can you eat alone with such peace of mind at this time! ”

Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu also had black faces when they saw the meat, but the former was busy continuing to look for faces, and the latter had just received Zhao's money yesterday and was embarrassed to open his mouth immediately.

But after several searches, there was no gain.

Old Man Gu frowned and couldn't figure out where this side would be hidden, but Old Lady Gu's face softened a little. Although Zhao Xiuer hid the roast duck, she didn't lie about the silver, but handed it over more or less.

Zhao Xiuer looked at the roast duck and knew that she couldn't get it back, so she instigated her to check the big house.

Wang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that the things would not be with Zhao Xiu'er, and subconsciously thought of his own money, pastries and cloth. I panicked for no reason, but after thinking about it, this silver was reserved for Zhi Qihua, and the pastries were also for Zhi Qi to eat, these were all acquiesced by the old man, even if he didn't say it, it didn't matter. As for the red and navy blue cloth, he said that he would prepare new clothes for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but Zhao didn't dare to say anything!

But after some searching, there was no trace of flour.

"This thing won't be in Zhiqi, right......" Looking at the old man Gu who was meditating, Zhao Xiuer reminded "kindly": "I have found all these places except for the house in Zhiqi, this should not be ......"

"Okay, what should you do, wait for me to ask Qi'er in person, he will be studying here, don't go over and disturb him." Saying that, Old Man Gu waved his hand and signaled that everyone was dispersed.

Zhao Xiuer looked at the roast duck in Wang's hand and almost gritted her teeth.

Old man Gu's heart, not to mention the bias, is simply completely on Gu Zhiqi! called him day by day, and his father really forgot that he was his father-in-law!

"Daughter-in-law, you go to the town to find Xiao Qi and ask her to get us some more delicious food."

"Eat, eat, you know to eat, that roast duck is not ours! The thing was snatched away, and I didn't even dare to let out a fart! ”

Gu Youcai grinned: "That's my father, what can I say." ”

"You ......"

In the end, this matter was so unknown, although it had returned to its previous appearance since that day, every time Gu Jiu went out, Old Man Gu would let Gu Qi, Gu Youcai and others secretly follow her.

On this day, Gu Jiu went to the town, and as soon as the passers-by turned around, he hid in a small corner on the side. After the Wang family walked over, Gu Jiu walked back quickly, and took out a pound of meat from the space when he arrived at the entrance of the village.

"Sister, are we going to eat meat?" Gu Jing lay on the stove and watched in surprise as Gu Jiu cut the pieces of meat with a knife. He couldn't remember the last time he had smelled meat, let alone eaten it.

"Yes, you go get some water and wash two potatoes."

"Good!"

Gu Jiu first fried the oil with a few pieces of fatty meat, then added bay leaf star anise, stir-fried the meat fragrantly, added potatoes after seven were ripe, and then added water to cover the pot, and after a while, the aroma of meat mixed with potatoes came out.

"Good Fragrance ......"

Gu Jing kept swallowing on the side, his eyes kept running through the gap in the lid of the pot trying to see the meat inside.

Gu Jiu smiled and opened the lid of the pot, and suddenly the aroma was fragrant, she sandwiched a piece of meat that was smaller and almost fully cooked, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, taste it, see if it tastes good." ”

As soon as the meat entered his mouth, Gu Jing's eyes narrowed happily.

How could there be such a delicious thing! Pastries weren't the best thing he'd ever eaten, they were meat! It's my sister's stewed meat!

The scent spreads quickly and soon wafts into the rest of the room.

"Mother, I seem to smell meat." Gu Ba sniffed his nose and said.

Gu Youcai patted Gu Ba's head funny: "Dad, you see that you are hungry for meat, who can afford to eat meat at this time!" It's good to have something to eat, and some people are now out of food!"

"So what, didn't you survive the locust plague last year? The court doesn't care about us. ”

Zhao Xiu'er said while carrying a few torn clothes trying to put together a new one: "You don't have to think about it, although because of the locust plague last year, everyone didn't leave many seeds, but the harvest is similar to the locust plague, we can carry it last year, and this year is the same." ”

As she was talking, Gu Ba shouted at her: "Mother! Meat, Gu Jiu they are eating meat!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiu'er immediately put down the clothes in her hand and got up and went out, along with her, Gu Zhiqi, Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu.

"Xiao Jiu'er, where did you get the meat, you are so fragrant!" Zhao just wanted to lean over and take advantage of the chaos to eat two bites, but he was stopped by Gu Jing before he walked in.

"Second aunt, you won't forget what I said that day. If you want to eat meat, you should wait for your uncle to come back and eat it! ”

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately rushed forward with a brisk step, this rabbit cub, how can she say that she is also her grandmother, if she hadn't given birth to her father, would she be alive?

But Gu Jiu obviously didn't mean to talk to them, so he put out two-thirds of the meat and potatoes separately and let Gu Jing take them into the house to eat with Ye Qingyi, while he sat at the door, taking a bite of potatoes and a bite of meat.

The soft potatoes are stewed and the aroma of the meat is wrapped in a rich broth, and it is refreshing in just one bite.

Gu Jiu didn't eat oil and salt like this, and sat at the door without regard for scolding and eating meat for three days in a row. Forced them to sleep hungry.

"Come on, there's really no meat in the town! Grandma's leg is about to break for you. Mrs. Gu said with a sad face: "Count the days, your father will be back soon, let's endure it for two more days." ”

Gu Zhiqi turned his head and didn't speak, and the old lady Gu had no choice but to find Zhao Xiu'er again: "Xiu'er, see if you can find Xiao Qi again, see if you can get some meat, it doesn't take much, it's enough for Zhiqi to eat alone, he has been studying recently, and he is really tired!"

"Mother, at this time, you can make it out." Hearing the word folding, Zhao Xiuer refused directly without thinking about it. Tired of reading? Half of her roast duck has gone into Gu Zhiqi's stomach, what else do you need to make up!

Exhausted? I think it's greedy!

"Xiu'er, you can't ......"

"Okay." Zhao Xiu'er didn't want to stop the old lady's repeated chatter, so she simply responded directly: "But I can say it in advance, the probability of this getting is not big!"

"Okay, okay!"

After another two days, without waiting for Zhao Xiuer's meat, a villager took the initiative to find the meat.

"You're going to trade this piece of meat for food?"
