The braised pork on the dinner table is rosy with a little bit of crystal clear, and is decorated with green onions. Regardless of its fragrance, just looking at it makes people swallow a mouthful of saliva. Look at the fried vegetables next to the braised pork.
It seems to be different from the previous ones. There are scattered red peppers on top, and the garlic cloves inside are moistened by the oil and water, exuding a little luster. It doesn't look like a dish, but more like a painting.
"The soup is ready, you guys try my handiwork." Lu Manman brought the last tomato and egg soup to the table. Looking at the food and rice on the table, she was very satisfied.
"It's so good to eat so early in the morning. It's too greasy." Gu Heng looked at the food on the table that made people want to eat, and he didn't know how it tasted.
"If you dislike greasy food, then you can eat the small bowl and I can eat the big one." Lu Manman glared at Gu Heng dissatisfied. He was lucky to be able to eat the food she cooked, right? She directly exchanged their rice bowls.
After the food was out of the pot, she felt that she could eat more, but she was worried that she wouldn't have enough rice.
Gu Heng looked at the small bowl of rice that was brought to him and stopped talking.
Gu Qin kept looking at braised pork. In fact, she had never made meat like this before, but it was able to have such a beautiful color and taste so delicious... She looked at Lu Manman with admiration in her eyes unconsciously: "
Manman’s craftsmanship is really good.”
"Auntie, you haven't tasted it yet, how do you know I'm good at my craftsmanship?" As Lu Manman spoke, she took the initiative to put a piece of braised pork into Gu Qin's bowl, and then she took a piece and put it in her mouth. She chewed it.
Next, the meat is juicy and not greasy, and it’s really enjoyable to eat: “If you can add a little more chicken essence to enhance the flavor, it would be perfect.”
"Chicken essence?"
Gu Heng took a bite of the braised pork, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He had lived for fifty or sixty years in his two lifetimes combined. When he was a very popular minister, he also ate a lot of royal banquets in the palace, but this time the braised pork was
The meat... was really good. He turned his attention to the soup that Lu Manman served at the end. The red fruits tasted sour when eaten raw. What did the cooked soup taste like?
Lu Manman stopped talking and looked at Gu Heng. She was talking too much again. Gu Heng was extremely smart, and now he was doubting her. She had to keep a low profile. After all, he rarely treated her well, and she had already arrived.
Here, she must adapt to the rules of survival here as soon as possible, otherwise she will be the only one who suffers in the end: "I'm greedy and want to eat chicken, haha..."
"You girl, you haven't finished eating the meat this morning, so you are thinking about eating chicken. Although you have made money, you can't squander it. A girl's family still has to be careful in their life." Gu Qin said.
The words gave Lu Manman a piece of meat: "Eat it quickly."
"Yeah." Lu Manman smiled awkwardly and didn't take Gu Qin's preaching to heart. In modern times, she advocated enjoyment because she firmly believed that only by spending money can you make money.
By living frugally, she loses herself on weekdays, but at the end of the year, she may not have much left over. Don’t ask her why she firmly believes that practice brings true knowledge, she must have tried it herself.
Gu Heng felt that he was not a very voracious person, but when he ate Lu Manman's cooking, he always felt like he didn't have enough. After finishing a bowl of rice, he still wanted to eat it, but the rice...he
I remember that Lu Manman only made three bowls. And because of what he just said, he got the bowl with the least rice.
Lu Manman finished the soup in the bowl. When she looked at the table, all the dishes she cooked had been eaten: "It seems that the dishes I cooked are still popular."
"Manman, I really can't believe how good your craftsmanship is. My aunt has lived a long time, and she has never eaten such delicious food." Gu Qin was still unfinished, looking at Lu Manman with increasingly satisfied eyes:
"I really look forward to you becoming Brother Heng's wife as soon as possible. In this way, Auntie can often eat the meals you cook."
Be Gu Heng’s wife?
Lu Manman smiled and changed the subject: "Auntie, didn't you buy some pepper seedlings yesterday? Give them to me, and Gu Heng and I will plant them together."
"Hey, okay." Gu Qin stood up, thought of something, and turned to look at Gu Heng. Seeing that Gu Heng was still looking at the table, she laughed: "After planting the pepper seedlings, I hurried to read a book because I accidentally ate them last time.
Poison Fruit, you have wasted a lot of time."
"Well, mom, don't worry."
When Lu Manman saw Gu Qin leaving, she was not idle either. She got up and put away the dishes to wash. Naturally, she didn't notice the way Gu Heng was stroking her belly when he saw her busy.
everything's ready.
Gu Heng stood up and took the lead to walk out. He was thinking about his family's fields. The only one that was free at the moment was the small field near the foot of the mountain. Since the area was small, he didn't plant anything in it. Now that he thought about it,
There is nothing better than growing chili peppers.
Lu Manman has been following Gu Heng. They have been walking for a while. According to her opinion, Gu Heng's yard is good. She can find some soil, or just loosen the soil in the corner of the yard and plant pepper seedlings.
, after all, it’s not much. I bought twenty coins yesterday, which is only thirty plants.
"arrive."
While Lu Manman was wandering in his thoughts, Gu Heng stopped.
Lu Manman looked around and saw the small field not far away. The small field was like an irregular diamond, not big, but it should be enough for planting pepper seedlings. She nodded and handed the hoe in her hand to Gu Heng:
"Division of labor, you dig the soil and I weed the grass."
Gu Heng was surprised when Lu Manman handed him the hoe. Before he could react, he suddenly heard her order: "Should I dig the soil?"
Lu Manman nodded matter-of-factly, looked at Gu Heng and said: "Let's not say that I am an injured person. Let's just say that I am a weak woman. Why should a grown man like you start digging the soil?" Don't think she doesn't know.
It's hard work.
The corners of Gu Heng's lips twitched, but he did not take the hoe in Lu Manman's hand: "You want to plant the pepper seedlings, not me." The implication is that you have to do your own thing.
Does he mean that she has to dig the soil, weed, and plant all by herself?
He is a grown man and he is so embarrassed to say that!
Lu Manman was speechless.
"It is said that those who take advantage of others are short-handed and soft-spoken. Gu Heng, you are also a scholar after all, so you don't understand this truth."
"I didn't take anything from you or eat anything from you." After saying this, Gu Heng felt something bad.
Lu Manman raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gu Heng thoughtfully, then shook his head and said: "I didn't eat anything. You ate the most of the braised pork I made this morning, and the tomato and egg soup I made.
My aunt and I drank one bowl each, but you drank three bowls."
"..." Gu Heng wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words for a while, because what Lu Manman said was the truth: "The rice this morning was a big bowl for you and your mother." He didn't eat enough, so he drank so much.
Lots of soup.
Lu Manman was stunned for a moment, and then thought of her sharing the minimum amount of rice with Gu Heng in the morning: "You can't blame me for this."
"..."
Lu Manman saw that Gu Heng didn't say anything and didn't pick up the hoe. It turned out that the land was not big, so it didn't matter if she just did it herself, but she had never really planted the land, so...
Lu Manman looked at Gu Heng deeply, just wait, she doesn't know how, but she can learn, and when she learns, no one can take Qiao in front of her. But at this moment...
Gu Heng moved his body and looked at the hand he was holding, unconsciously ignoring the hoe that was forced into his hand.
"Hurry up and get started. I'll weed the grass while you loosen the ground. If you finish your work earlier, you can go back and read." She can go back and write "Dream of Red Mansions".
When Gu Heng saw that Lu Manman ignored him and walked straight to the field, his original words of rejection turned into: "A portion of braised pork." This chapter has been completed!
