◎Preparation◎

"Brother Gu has gone into the mountain." Cheng Yanjiang spread out on a chair, looking satisfied after eating and drinking.

It rained a few days ago, and a piece of the mountain behind collapsed. Some members passed by and saw wild boar footprints. Big The captain asked the militia team to go to the commune to borrow guns and go into the mountains to hunt wild boars, so as not to harm our crops again. This was despite the fact that my brother happened to be there.

When he heard about it, he followed Gu Guanning and sat down. Cheng Yanzhou asked: " When did you go?"

Cheng Yanjiang said: "This morning, I think I will be back after dark."

There was a lot of food left over from the wedding day, and the food quality at home suddenly improved.

Yang Bilan fried three dishes, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, eggs with leeks and stir-fried pumpkin vines, as well as large steamed buns with Erhe noodles and millet porridge.

The twice-cooked pork is salty and slightly spicy, the leek and egg are smooth and delicious, and the pumpkin vine is crispy and sweet, all of which go well with rice.

After finishing the meal, Cheng Yanzhou cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, and went back to his home with Gu Wanning to rest.

In the afternoon, the two of them came to the Cheng family again, bringing a bag of things, including malted milk, pastries, biscuits, and canned food.

There were only two siblings, Lili and Xiao Shitou, squatting on the ground and playing in the mud. After asking the two to wash their hands, Gu Guanning took biscuits for them to eat.

In the middle of the afternoon, I vaguely heard a few sounds on the mountain behind me, which must have been wild boar hunting.

Gu Heting came back earlier than expected, carrying two small prey in his hands. When he walked in and saw Gu Guanning, he raised his eyebrows and said in a not-so-good tone: "Finally you are willing to go out, Gu Xiaowan?"

They were eating out in the evening, and there were tables, chairs and benches. into the courtyard.

Cheng Yanzhou was cooking in the house.

Gu Guanning was lying on the table, so bored that he played the game of "Which of the left and right hands has the stone" with two children.

When she heard Gu Heting's words, she felt guilty.

It wasn't because she didn't want to go out, or because it was Cheng Yanzhou's fault?

"Second brother, have you gone into the mountains to hunt wild boars?" Gu Guanning smiled ingratiatingly and changed the subject.

Gu Heting carried the prey over and showed it to the three of them. "I took two hares and pheasants and stewed a rabbit in the evening. The pheasants were made into a beggar's chicken. I wrapped them in mud and stewed them in the stove ashes overnight. We will eat them tomorrow morning."

"Is the flower chicken delicious?" Gu Guanning's apricot eyes were bright, as if she had never seen anything in the world.

She has eaten spicy chicken, Kung Pao chicken, roast chicken, fried chicken, platter chicken... She has never eaten beggar's chicken.

"Then let's see what Cheng Laosan will do." Gu Heting sent the prey into the kitchen, explained a few words to Cheng Yanzhou, moved a stool and sat down.

Gu Guanning diligently pushed a glass of water over and asked curiously: "Second brother, don't you know how to be a beggar's chicken?"

He raised his head and drank it all, then put the enamel jar on the table. Gu Heting looked at it like he was a fool. Gu Guanning said, "I don't even know how many bowls of water to put in when making porridge. How can I make beggar's chicken?"
