Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 230
December 23

There was heavy snow on this day in Xiaonian.

All the households up and down in Guzhuang bustlingly offered sacrifices to the Kitchen God, and the house was thoroughly cleaned up.Because this year, most people's homes have changed some new furniture, and the house has also been newly renovated. In the new year, the whole family will go to battle together, wishing to scrub every corner clean, it looks very decent.

Gu Xiang's 'Gu Ji' also stopped business, and she brought Lao Du and A Feng to distribute benefits to the villagers at the gate of 'Gu Ji'.

One person's New Year's money can be distributed ranging from one to five or six.

It has always been a huge amount for ordinary people. In previous years, one person may not really be able to earn so much a year.

In addition to silver, Gu Xiang also packed a lot of dime, wonton, glutinous rice balls, rice cakes, soup cakes, zhasu balls, and some meatballs, fish balls, but there are less meatballs and fish balls, and you can only eat as much as you want. See luck.

For a whole day, under the two rows of dense forests in front of Gu Ji's gate, there were bursts of white mist.

The canopy is crystal clear.

Early in the morning, when the sky was still dark, Qiuli and Cherry brought "Gu Ji" up and down everyone, and even the farm staff lent them out to help, and then swept away the snow under the trees, revealing the smooth bluestone slabs on the ground .

"Quick, sprinkle some sand here too. I almost fell over when I went there just now. It's fine if I fall on us, but don't fall on those old people in the village."

Qiu Li was so busy that her heels couldn't touch the ground, and a few drops of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose.

Cherry bent over to shovel snow, while turning her head to look at the large stove next to the dining car, and the several very expensive cauldrons above it.

These pots are specially made by Tiesheng Gotuo who found a skilled blacksmith master. They are strong and large, and they use a lot of materials.

At this time, the hot thick soup in the pot showed a lustrous milky white color, which was extremely beautiful and fragrant.

"I've been smelling this smell since last night..."

Gu Xiang just came out of the door, seeing Cherry looking at the pot pitifully, he couldn't help laughing: "Everyone stop for a while, come over to drink some soup and eat a bowl of wonton glutinous rice balls, at least to pad your stomach."

Cherry hurried over to grab a bowl of wontons.

Wontons are boiled first, and then thrown in a handful of tender green leaves that have just been picked from the farm. After cooking, put them in a stoneware bowl, grab a handful of shrimp skins, and pour a large spoonful of broth that has been boiled all night , the dense hot air rushes, and the fresh fragrance hits the nostrils.

A few folks who had just hurriedly came to line up to collect the money smelled it, and couldn't even count the money for a moment. They grabbed their share and came over to look at it helplessly: "Tangyuan, give me Tangyuan." Scared The two boys from the Huotou camp who had to be in charge of some money said repeatedly: "Sixth Master, please slow down and order some money first. If you make a mistake, it will be difficult to make up for it."

Ah Feng, who was guarding the stove, quickly served a bowl of steaming, round glutinous rice balls to the old man.

This old man is an old man in the Gu family. His son went out to make a living in the early years. He has not heard from him these years. He is not young. Now he has leased all the land to Gu Xiang and signed the contract for 20 years in one go. Get dividends every month.

Nowadays, people in the village like to go to his house when they have nothing to do, helping to carry water and chop firewood, earning twice as many points as doing other things.

Gu Lao Liu put two small silver ingots into his pocket, stuffed the heavy money bag into his sleeve, stared at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl, licked his lips, and said in a loud voice: Shit, I don’t have to pay for meals every day, and I don’t have a place to spend it, more is more, less is less, it doesn’t matter if I eat glutinous rice balls.”

"Uncle Six, you can't eat glutinous rice balls."

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "It's not easy to digest."

After speaking, she picked up the bowl and ate one by herself, then handed the bowl to Cherry, asking her to put down the wontons first and eat one too.

The cherries were eaten until the eyes were narrowed into slits: "Sweet!"

Gu Lao Liu: "..."

He leaned over and took a look: "You little girl doesn't know how to eat. I saw the one you ate. Our Sanniang specially made the glutinous rice not to be particularly sticky, so there is no need to take a small bite first, but to put the whole one in your mouth." , chew slowly and savor carefully."

Cherry was dubious, and swallowed one at a time according to what he said, and it immediately stuck in his throat, unable to swallow it, and unwilling to spit it out, so uncomfortable that he jumped up.

"puff!"

Gu Laoliu laughed, and the old god served her a large bowl of soup on the ground, "Come, turn the original soup into the original food."

Taking advantage of the time when the cherries were drinking the soup, he took the glutinous rice balls back, and said very considerately: "If you are impatient, you can't eat glutinous rice balls, so eat your wontons."

As they scrambled over here, the folks queuing up to collect the money over there were a little anxious and poked their heads one after another. After finishing the glutinous rice balls, Gu Lao Liu shook his head and went to eat wontons, commenting while eating.

"Is this pork the kind we feed in our village? It doesn't smell at all. I ate mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots... Well, it's so fresh. It's shrimp meat. It's delicious!"

Gu Lao Liu did it himself again, adding a small spoonful of pepper powder, a small spoonful of red tofu, crushed peanuts, and a little chili oil to the soup, and drank it into his stomach in big gulps. He smiled all over his face immediately, "Exciting!"

"Especially this pepper, with it, I will never eat cornel again."

The villagers got the money and got together to eat these simple but delicious snacks in a lively manner.

Gu Xiang ate a few glutinous rice balls himself, and a small bowl of wontons, then went back to the stove to fry meatballs.

The pork is half fat and half fat, all selected by Gu Xiang herself. Her ability to choose ingredients is unparalleled in the world, and all of them come from the "Dongtian Paradise", the taste is not to mention.

The minced meat is locked in a unique way and the jelly made of pork rib broth is deep-fried in [-]% hot oil until it is golden, and the inside and outside are cooked but not burnt.

As soon as the meatballs were fried, the fragrance wafted for miles, and the whole Guzhuang was enveloped in a thick and fresh fragrance.

A group of folks gathered around, and Qiuli divided the meatballs into ten portions and wrapped them in oiled paper, while pointing to the stick on the table with a smile.

"There are few meatballs and there are many people. Let's each draw a lucky lottery. Those who win the red lottery will get a meatball."

Everyone agreed in unison.

After a while, those who won the red lottery were full of joy holding fried meatballs, while those who were not drawn were full of disappointment.

Many folks who have won the red lottery smiled and gave this small lottery as an auspicious object to their children and grandchildren, hoping that their children and grandchildren will also be happy.

After working for a long time, the two young men from Huotouying carried the long slips to check the account for a long time, and said in a daze, "Third lady, there is still a lot of money left for the New Year, and someone should not get it, but everyone signed on the slip." Name, leave a note."

"It should be someone from the farm. They only signed their names and didn't take the money. The others are acquaintances. I remember getting all of them. There are more strangers on the farm, and they came together. Maybe something went wrong."

Mrs. Jiang was secretly eating fried fish balls in the kitchen. She quickly wiped her mouth and came out. She said in surprise, "Who hasn't received it yet? You don't take the money actively. What are you thinking all day long!"
