EBE Chapter 153 After Today
Chapter 153 After Today
But he was still thinking about food, so he could only look at the three people playing in the water in front of him and ask again.
"Okay, if you want to eat anything else besides grilled fish, I'll prepare it for you."
After today, he will leave early tomorrow morning. He actually wants to have another good chat with her, but she always seems to be easy to talk to.
She always smiles when they meet, but in fact, she has erected a thick barrier against him. When she looks directly at him, she rarely looks at him intently.
"really?"
After getting Zhao Congyi's affirmative nod, Gu Wan waved at Xu Wenyin who was in the middle of the stream and said, "Dr. Zhao Wenyin said we should have grilled fish tonight. Do you guys want to eat anything else?"
Zhao Congyi sighed deeply and looked at Gu Wan with some resentment. Unfortunately, Gu Wan's eyes were all on Xu Wenyin at this time, and she definitely didn't notice him.
"Ahhh, grilled fish, why didn't I think of that? Let's go catch some fish and grill it right in the yard later, right? How do you think?"
"Okay."
She can't cook it, she can only eat it, so she can bake it anywhere.
Zhao Congyi said, "Then you guys go catch the fish first. Gu Zhiqing and I will go back and make preparations."
Gu Wan didn’t want to go back, but she couldn’t go into the water, and everyone else had to do something, so it would be impossible for her to feed herself when the time came.
"Okay, Li Zhiqing, do you know where we can catch some fish?"
Li Zhifeng didn't look at other people. The bright sunlight made it hard for him to open his eyes. He squinted and said:
"I know, I'll take you there!"
"Okay, okay."
Lin Huai stood aside and gritted his teeth, "Doctor Xu, why don't you and Gu Zhiqing go back and help pack up, and let the two boys take care of the fishing."
Li Zhifeng glanced at Lin Huai, then said with some annoyance:
"Look at me, that fish is really hard to catch, it's so lively and jumping around, I'm afraid it will splash you with water, you guys go back first, I'll catch it and bring it to you."
"Well, I don't want to." Xu Wenyin shook her head, obviously not very happy with Lin Huai's suggestion, and moved closer to Li Zhifeng.
Lin Huai stood aside and clenched his fists, but said with an expressionless face:
"Okay then, let's go together as three people. Doctor Zhao and Gu Zhiqing should go home together to make preparations first?"
Zhao Congyi nodded. Seeing that everyone agreed with this arrangement, Gu Wan could no longer object. She could only lower her head and look back every few steps as the three people gradually walked away.
After she could no longer see anyone, Gu Wan withdrew her gaze and walked quickly forward. The two of them remained silent along the way.
Along the way, many villagers in the village would greet Zhao Congyi when they met him, and Zhao Congyi would also stop patiently to respond.
After arriving home, Gu Wan asked:
"Doctor Zhao, do you need me to do anything?"
"Tonight we can just use the hanging pot to boil something and then grill a fish. Do you want noodles for the main course?"
"Let's eat noodles." It happened that I hadn't eaten noodles for a long time, and there was enough flour at home.
Zhao Cong nodded to show that he understood, and pointed at the vegetables on the ground and said:
"Look what you want to eat, wash the vegetables you want, and I'll cut them later. I'll knead the dough first."
Gu Wan widened her eyes. She didn't expect that he could do this.
"You can say whatever you want to say directly."
"No, I'm just surprised. It seems like there's nothing Dr. Zhao doesn't know."
“There are still many who don’t know.”
Gu Wan thought he was just being modest and didn't think much about it. Zhao Congyi was still waiting for her to ask more questions.
In the end, she just stopped asking. As expected, he could never guess the person in front of him.
Gu Wan had already started doing things and was obviously not going to continue chatting. Zhao Congyi knew that she was particularly wary of him. If he said too much, she would probably run away even further.
In the end, I can only helplessly choose the task at hand.
When I was almost done with the work here, I took some firewood and went to the yard first. I found a place to start a fire. I used three large sticks to make a triangular bracket and placed it over the fire to support the hanging pot.
Gu Wan felt so sorry when she saw the scene. It would be great if there was some hot pot base so she could just eat it directly from the hot pot.
Zhao Congyi looked at her sighing expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just looking at this makes me want to eat hot pot."
"What's there to sigh about? Just eat if you want to."
"But there's nothing at home to stir-fry the pot."
"My comrade's hometown used to stir-fry pork, add dried chili peppers and basil, and the taste was also very flavorful."
Gu Wan drooled when she heard this, but no one had pork at home these days. Not only did she need a ticket to buy some, but it was almost evening now, so she couldn't buy any even if she wanted to.
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Gu Wan didn't know what he was going to do, so she nodded, watched the fire, and picked vegetables at the same time. Most of the vegetables they ate at home were wild vegetables.
There are actually a lot of vegetables, but people here are very frugal. They only put a little bit in each stir-fry, but end up using a lot of water to cook them.
They would rather not have enough to eat and save some vegetables, pickle them, or dry them and store them. As they say, it is better to be prepared.
Although Gu Wan didn't grow any vegetables, many people in the village sent her vegetables, and they never skimped on food.
There are still a lot left at home, including a lot of tomatoes, cucumbers and eggplants.
Eggplants were the most abundant, and Fang Ping taught her that if she couldn't finish them, she could slice them and dry them. They would still be delicious when eaten in winter.
Most of the food we eat in winter is cabbage, Chinese cabbage and radish, but there are too few choices, so most people choose to dry all the vegetables at this time.
At this time, many people can still take out the dried cabbage from winter, and it tastes surprisingly good.
But then I thought that I could only learn to cook like the aunties in the village, and wash everything down with just a bowl of water, which was very painful.
But what should I do if I really can’t cook? I’ll just waste so much food. If it were modern times, I would just add a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma to spicy dishes.
And there are all kinds of sauces available, so you can make delicious food by just adding side dishes. If that doesn’t work, you can order takeout.
But here, even if you want to eat buns or noodles, you can’t do it because the buns don’t know how to make the dough, and the noodles don’t know how to roll them.
Gu Wan decided that after they left, she would go to the county's state-owned restaurant to pack up some more dishes. After all, the space could keep the food fresh, so she wouldn't have a hard time every month.
Normally, Gu Wan doesn’t rely much on the space and seldom uses the things in the space.
