Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 126 Deals
Gu Xiang weighed the kitchen knife, holding the tofu in one hand, and the knife in the other, cutting horizontally and vertically, and in the blink of an eye a large pot of snow-white tofu was poured into the pot.

Fry the tofu for a while, then pour some soup made from fish bones, cover with sauce and simmer for a while.

grunt.

Wang Tiezhu took a deep breath. The smell of this roasted tofu was not inferior to that of meat. It was white and tender, and it looked good. It was even more delicate and smooth in the mouth, making people want to swallow it with their tongues.

Look at the scallion lettuce, which is crispy when bitten, sweet and refreshing.

Fried mushrooms are even more wonderful. Thinking back then, he offered the meal that he had eaten at Mr. Liu's house to be the best in the world, but now he has to say that he still had too little experience back then.

Wang Tiezhu is a carpenter, although he is from the village, but because of his good craftsmanship, he has also worked in rich families and seen the signature dishes of serious restaurant chefs.

If you ask him, the three vegetarian dishes made by Gu Sanniang are all excellent in color, fragrance, and taste, and they may be eaten in a big restaurant, let alone five yuan, even fifty yuan.

"Only this piece of golden cake is sold in the market for five cents, and diners still have to fight for it."

Wang Tiezhu held the golden pastry pancakes just picked from the fish pot, and shook his head while eating, sighing endlessly.

"It's so cheap, it's so cheap."

As for the points to be spent, in Wang Tiezhu’s opinion, it’s not a big deal. He bought a few chairs for the cafeteria, repaired a few old tables, and got more than 50 points, which can make him full without spending a penny. A meal of fish.

What is this work?
"Sanniang's roasted tofu is really tasty."

Wang Tiezhu smacked his lips contentedly.

Next to him, his brother Wang Tiesheng ate bitterly, only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, ate more than half of the soup first, and said loudly: "Third lady, add more soup."

Gu Xiang scooped up two tablespoons of tofu soup for him, pointed at the pot with a smile and said, "It's gone."

Wang Tiezhu: "...Huh?"

Gu Xiang couldn't help but laugh, and when he turned around, he saw Ermu's child leaving the wooden board outside the arbor at some point, staring at Gu An and Gu Ning, brothers and sisters who were picking up wild vegetables by the side of the mountain.

The mother of the two children is the daughter of Gu Zhuang who married off. Later, she reconciled with her husband's family and returned to the village alone with the children. As a result of the disaster a few years ago, several members of her family fled, and their mother was also ill. , passed away in a few days.

The villagers felt sorry for them, so they left them behind.

The two brothers and sisters have been living in the village for the past two years with a widow, Huang's family. Huang was a widow in her early years and had no children. Her husband's family and the old patriarch are related by marriage.

Mrs. Huang can make clothes, and her embroidery work is not bad. With her embroidering work, she has earned some money, and her life is relatively affluent, and she can still afford to raise two children.

Moreover, the two children are old enough to work, and they can also help Mrs. Huang chop firewood, cook, and do some housework.

The world is not good recently, and Huang's family doesn't have much food left over. The siblings go up the mountain every day to pick wild fruits and vegetables, and they are very diligent.

Gu Xiang watched them turn their heads to look at this side from time to time, especially when she served the two brothers Wang Tiesheng, the two children even swallowed their saliva, and couldn't help feeling soft, beckoning and saying: "Come on."

Gu An and Gu Ning hesitated and walked to the front of the shed.

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "If you brought dry food, why don't you bring the dry food and I'll help you deal with it before eating. It's cold, and eating cold dry food is easy to get sick."

Gu An blushed: "I also want to earn points, my sister and I are very good at washing dishes, pans and tables."

Wang Ermu turned his head and stared at them hard.

Originally, the work of cleaning the pots and washing dishes was done by Ermu, Gu Xiang smiled and nodded in agreement. Gu An was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and finally took out two vegetable nests from his arms, and put them in the basket. Hand over a handful of wild vegetables.

The vegetable nest was dry and hard, and it hit the chopping board with a bang. It was dark in color and very ugly. Let alone eating, Wang Ermu's teeth ached when he looked at it. He turned silently and went back to guard the wooden signboard, seriously Explain to new guests how the cafeteria works.

Gu Xiang weighed the portion of vegetables and said with a smile: "These two should weigh a catty and a half, enough for the two of you to eat."

She picked it up and put it in the steamer and steamed it on the stove. As soon as Cai Wowo inhaled the water vapor, she immediately looked a little plump. She took it out and threw it on the chopping board. With Gu Xiang's current knives, she quickly wiped them away. Flakes into nearly transparent sheets.

I grabbed the onion and garlic and cut them up, scooped up a spoonful of sauce for later use, washed the wild vegetables and cut them into sections.

Turn on the fire and heat up the pot, pour some oil, put the onion and garlic into the pot, pour in the wild vegetables, put a little sauce and stir-fry.

This wild vegetable is common in the mountains. It tastes a bit astringent and bitter. During the famine years, the villagers had no choice but to boil it to mess with their stomachs.

At this time, Gu Xiang did this, and when the wild vegetables were fried and put in the pot, the green color was like jasper. The Wang Tiesheng brothers, and a few villagers passing by, suddenly felt that the wild vegetables all over the mountains and plains were also very precious things.

Gu Xiang deftly started the pot again, added oil and salt, added onion, ginger and garlic, poured the prepared sauce, put the nest slices in, stir-fried, covered and simmered for a while to collect the juice, opened the lid and poured in the wild vegetables , with a sudden shake of the spoon, the wild vegetables are hung on the dry food sheet, the color is very good, and it is refreshing at first glance.

The two children, Gu An and Gu Ning, stared dumbfounded at this big bowl of dry stewed food with all the flavors and flavors, and couldn't believe it.

"Eat."

Gu Xiang laughed lightly.

The villagers who brought their own dry food around, and the folks who lived in the ruined temple, suddenly wanted to move.

Points are not hard to earn now, one point can turn the unpalatable food into this, so what are you waiting for?
Don't look at the simplicity of this stewed dry food, but it has added oil, sauce, and salt. How much does it cost to buy these oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?
It took only three and a half days for the villagers in Guzhuang to wait and see, no one cared, to open their eyes and think of the cafeteria.

On the third day, it was no longer feasible for Gu Xiang to rely on Wang Ermu to record how many points anyone had on the wooden board outside.

Gu Xiang asked Ermu to find some wood and cut it into pieces, and gave each villager who wanted to come to the cafeteria a slice. She carved a flower on it to represent one point, a moon to represent ten points, and a sun to represent one hundred points. When the points are spent, a cloud is added to the picture.

The skills she has now are extraordinary, easy and difficult to imitate, and it is enough for emergency use temporarily.

In a very short time, Gu Zhuang was quite different from usual.

There is still little food in the village, and the price of food outside is still high, but the anxiety of the villagers seems to be reduced. There are almost no idlers, sneakers, quarrels and troublemakers in the village. The villagers rush to repair houses for others , Whoever can't finish the work in the field will always be in need of helpers.

If it weren't for the patriarch's close attention and prestige, and Gu Xiang listing many new jobs that can earn points every day, I am afraid that these strong laborers could fight for the job of carrying water and firewood for the widowed and lonely family.
