The 1970s Educated Youth

Chapter 136

◎I will listen to you◎

When the flower rolls and steamed buns were ready and placed in the pot, Uncle Xie who went out to look for ingredients came back with a full load.

Gu Guanning poured a cup of hot water and handed it over. Xie Mingwang took it and took a few sips. He sat down and took something from the basket, "I didn't know where there were duck eggs, but I found a few goose eggs."

Gu Guanning stretched his neck to look, "Goose eggs. Are the eggs delicious?"

Cheng Yanzhou replied to her on the balcony: "Goose eggs are fishier than chicken eggs. You probably don't like them more."

He glanced at the cheap son-in-law, and when he turned around, Xie Mingwang quickly whispered to Gu Guanning: "Uncle Li, please tell me. Two ounces of white wine, marinating the duck eggs in white wine will make them less fishy."

The goose eggs were collected from the homes of nearby brigade members. They were large and heavy, and Gu Guanning shook them curiously and felt heavy.

The eggs are not small either. I counted twenty of them in one bag.

Xie Mingwang separated three of them, and put them on the chopping board outside with a handful of garlic sprouts placed under the basket, and called Cheng Yanzhou: "I will add another dish tonight. There is a piece of ham on the second floor of the cupboard. You can cut some chili and stir-fry it."

Hearing this, Cheng Yanzhou went to look in the cupboard.

Gu Guanning sat back and counted the dishes on her hands for the evening, including twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, scrambled eggs with ham sausage, sweet and sour pork loin, fried ham with chili peppers, and steamed meatballs.

Thinking about the New Year's Eve dinner that she was still worried about this morning, I am afraid that this meal will be even richer than the New Year's Eve dinner.

There were also persimmons in the basket. Xie Mingwang divided one piece each and gave the rest to Cheng Yanzhou to put in the cupboard.

Taking a bite of the persimmon, which was sweet and glutinous, Gu Guanning raised the corners of his mouth happily and asked, "Uncle, have you gone to the nearby brigade?"

Xie Mingwang put the eggs back into the basket and carefully placed them on the ground, "With the comrades from the logistics department I was going to make you some chicken soup with red ginseng, but unfortunately I didn't meet the old hen."

Upon hearing this, Gu Guanning felt that Uncle Xie was a bit too polite and always wanted to give them something as compensation for their meal.

She probably had the same mentality as when she was living and eating at her cousin's house.

What's strange is that Uncle Xie also visited his cousin's house for dinner before, but he didn't bring anything there every now and then.

After eating the persimmons, Gu Guanning held his chin and thought for a moment, guessing that it was the absence of his second brother, his close nephew.

If the people close to you are not around, of course you will be away from home.

After preparing the dishes, Cheng Yanzhou gave up the kitchen, and Xie Mingwang immediately took his place.

Standing in front of the chopping board, he rolled up his sleeves and thought for a while before taking out the beef jerky from the cupboard. "Third brother, try this beef."

"This is from my uncle's comrades. It's plateau beef from Sichuan Province." He saw it. This, Gu Guanning's conditioned reflex recalled the chewy texture in the morning.
