Chapter 973 Send you some food
"Really? It's so delicious?" Erpang was originally eating fish and had no interest in the soup which looked bland. After hearing this, he took his empty bowl and scooped half a bowl.
I also scooped half a bowl during the Great Heat and Lesser Heat.
After a few people tasted it, they all nodded, "It tastes good!"
But after drinking half a bowl of soup, he didn’t want any more and started eating the braised duck on the table with relish.
These are all strong flavors, so they may not like this soup.
The old man drank three bowls in a row and wanted more. Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "Master, eat some food. You've already drunk three bowls."
The old man was dissatisfied, "Why can't we eat even though there is food? It's just a bowl of soup, right?"
Zhou Guo said: "But you drank too much. Drinking too much is not good. Eat first. After eating, you are allowed to drink another bowl."
I scooped some winter bamboo shoots and ham for him, "Don't just drink the soup, eat these too, they're just as delicious."
She scooped another bowl for herself, half of which was soup and the other half was bamboo shoots and ham. If her stomach capacity was not limited, she felt that she could eat the whole pot.
The master and his apprentice didn't eat much of the other dishes, but they ate the bamboo shoot and ham soup from beginning to end. In the end, the last bit of soup left in the pot was shared by Erpang and his friends.
The meal was a bit dry after eating, so I just had some soup.
Er Pang said, "Master, what should we do with the remaining winter bamboo shoots? They will go bad in a few days, and there is no ice cellar here."
Zhou Guo said, "We ate them. Even though there were a lot of sacks, most of them were shells. Not much was actually peeled off. We ate all of them in a few days."
So the next day, Zhou Guo started to prepare the bamboo shoot banquet.
Braised bamboo shoots, fresh bamboo shoot soup, bamboo shoots fried with meat, bamboo shoots hot pot, stir-fried bamboo shoots...
There are many ways to cook it, but even so, not even half of the bamboo shoots have been used.
Zhou Guo sighed. No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it after four days at most, let alone the table is full of this stuff.
I forgot that there are fewer people now and they can't eat that much. It was fun when they were digging, but now they are very worried.
Er Pang suggested: "How about selling it on the street like roast duck?"
Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, I'll go sell it."
This kid has become addicted to selling roast ducks these days. He feels that every time a roast duck is sold, his wallet is filled little by little, and he feels so accomplished and satisfied. Now he wants to sell anything he sees.
Zhou Guo looked at him and said, "If you sell the winter bamboo shoots that the old man loves the most and that he worked so hard to get, he will cut off your arm."
Er Pang shuddered and said after a while: "But we can't eat these."
When it was time to eat, the table was covered with bamboo shoots. Now everything he saw looked like this.
Zhou Guo had thought about it early in the morning and instructed: "Go buy some ice, blanch these bamboo shoots and freeze them. They can be kept until the New Year, so you don't have to eat a bamboo shoot feast next time."
"Okay, then I'll go." Erpang couldn't wait to go out.
Although the south is different from the north, there have been several heavy snowfalls since the beginning of winter. Even now, there are icicles in the streams in the mountains. There is still ice at this time.
It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher, what they lack is food, not money.
Erpang went out for half an hour and bought back four large buckets of ice.
With this ice, anything can be stored in it.
By noon, there were no bamboo shoots on the table.
Everyone happily ate the fresh dishes and the old man didn't say much.
Just after finishing lunch, there was a knock on the door.
Xiaoshu went to open the door, and it was Gou Ya who came with a few young men.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Why are you here? Sit inside."
Gou Ya looked around their yard and said with a smile, "I'm here to bring you some things. You just arrived and it's almost the New Year. Many things are out of stock, so I'll bring you some."
"Ah?" Zhou Guo looked back and saw several young men coming in with baskets on their shoulders and placing the loads of things in the yard.
The old man, Erpang and the others all came out.
Gou Ya laughed and said, "It's not anything fancy, just some vegetables grown in our own fields, a few rabbits, a few chickens, and some eggs. It's almost New Year, and these things are not cheap outside right now. You just arrived, so you need to buy a lot. We have them ready at home, so you don't need to buy them."
Zhou Guo looked at the six full baskets and was very touched. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your consideration. I won't be polite and will accept them all. I really don't have these things at home."
Gou Ya was smiling happily, and a few reserved young men also smiled. It was the happiest thing to have their kindness liked and valued by others.
Zhou Guo said to Erpang and the others, "Move all these things into the kitchen, and remember to clear out the baskets."
"Okay." Erpang carried it together with Dashu and Xiaoshu.
Several young men also helped.
Gou Ya saw the old man standing nearby and took the initiative to greet him.
The old man nodded gently, "You guys go in and sit down, I'll go out for a walk."
Before leaving, I took Xiaoshu away with me.
Dashu and Erpang started to make tea and serve snacks and candied fruits.
Zhou Guo said, "The room is narrow, let's move it out to the yard, light a fire, and have everyone sit in the yard and chat."
Now it's the end of the year, and Gou Ya and his friends go to the city every day to sell things. I happened to have saved dozens of eggs, so I brought them to them.
Zhou Guo expressed his gratitude and directed Erpang Dashu to set up a stove in the yard, take out the meat prepared in the kitchen, and grill it.
Beef and mutton are always available, and they were just harvested not long ago.
Zhou Guo lifted his robe, squatted down and began to prepare things. In addition to meat, there were also many vegetarian dishes.
Seeing her wearing such nice clothes, Gou Ya squatted casually on the ground, afraid that the clothes would be stained with oil, and hurriedly said, "Let me do it, you take a rest."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I won't rest. I think the ones I bake myself taste better. You can try it too."
They were all young people, and Gou Ya was diligent. Hearing this, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down, not forgetting to direct the younger brothers who were sitting, "Come and work, what are you doing standing there?"
A group of young people in the yard started to get busy.
At first, they were a little reserved, but after working for a while, they relaxed.
Some people even called Zhou Guo by his name, but Zhou Guo didn't care and answered whenever they called him.
After the skewers were grilled, she gave each of them to the dogs and said, "Come, have a try."
Gou Ya took it, looked at the skewer of meat, and said with a smile: "You really know how to eat it. We never thought that meat could be eaten this way."
Mainly because I can’t bear to let go.
It's rare to have meat at home, so of course we have to cook it so that everyone can have a good meal. Eating it with food will make you full and satisfying.
Zhou Guo said, "Then you can try it. From now on, you can eat rabbits, pork, or even vegetables from the fields like this when you feel hungry. It's fun and delicious."
Halfway through the roasting, the old man came back with Xiaoshu.
The two men carried a lot of things, including several rolls of cloth.
Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "Master, come quickly, the meat is ready for you."
The old man put down his things and came over to take a look, saying, "There is a big fish in the kitchen, bring it over and grill it."
