At this moment, Gu Jin was filled with thoughts of the ginseng in her space, hoping it would sell for a good price and save her from running around for money.
Returning home, she brought the bamboo basket to the kitchen.
Seeing that it wasn’t early, Gu Jin decided to make dinner herself.
The first dish was sliced meat fried with wild bamboo shoots. After cooking, she served it on a plate; the fragrance of bamboo shoots spread, golden in color, and looked very appetizing.
She used the wild vegetables picked during the day, mixed with garlic, spring onions, and salt, and the refreshing and appetizing cold mixed wild vegetables were ready.
The mountain chicken that Du Aiqing had left for the family last time was also taken out by Gu Jin, put in hot water to pluck and clean the innards, then placed in a pot to stew chicken soup.
She added various seasonings, found a few dates from home, washed them, and put them in. The nutritious mountain chicken soup was most suitable for the little wolf cubs to drink.
The final dish was the main course, water-boiled pork slices.
Gu Jin used wild boar meat for this dish; she sliced the selected lean meat, mixed it with the remaining flour, salt, and eggs, and marinated it for about ten minutes.
She cut the wild vegetables dug from the mountain and broke the wild mushrooms evenly, scalded them with hot water.
In a pot with hot oil, she added scallions and ginger, then other seasonings, and poured in the marinated lean slices with wild vegetables and mushrooms.
She brought it to a boil over high heat, waiting until the aroma filled the room, indicating it was almost done.
The fragrance of the water-boiled pork slices spread as she served it in the large Dahai bowl, sprinkled with chopped wild coriander; the delicious and mouthwatering water-boiled pork slices were complete.
With good dishes, naturally, some matching staple food is needed.
Gu Jin cooked all the remaining rice at home.
This was the first time for the whole family to be so luxurious. In Qingshan Village, no family was willing to cook rice with rice; usually, cooking porridge was extravagant.
So when Chen Hong returned home and saw the meals in the kitchen, her lips quivered in anger.
The remaining rice at home could feed the whole family for half a month, but Gu Jin cooked it all in one meal; she was almost fainting in anger.
Gu Jin smiled at her and said, "Auntie, don’t be distressed. Tomorrow I’ll bring you a bag of rice, but first, try tonight’s dinner, it’s all made by me."
"You squanderer! Even if you have money, you shouldn’t waste it like this." Chen Hong’s face was very unpleasant, looking pained.
But her actions weren’t slow, as she sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks.
Old Master Gu and Gu Decang had already started eating, Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin were beside them eating with their mouths constantly open, it was spicy, yet they couldn’t stop.
The white rice with water-boiled pork slices, and drinking the rich and fragrant mountain chicken soup, was simply delicious!
Chen Hong started eating and quickly couldn’t stop.
Although her heart ached, the mountain chicken soup was really good, the water-boiled pork slices were really fragrant, and the cold mixed wild vegetables they always made tasted better than hers.
Gu Jin watched the Gu Family eating contentedly with a smile, she picked a piece of meat fried with wild bamboo shoots and put it into An Mingji’s bowl sitting next to her.
"Your stomach isn’t good, eat less spicy food."
"Okay." An Mingji kept scooping rice from his bowl.
Each full grain of rice was fragrant in his mouth.
The meat fried with wild bamboo shoots was also delicious. Although it wasn’t as strong as the water-boiled pork slices he ate just now, since Sister Jin told him to eat less, he concentrated on eating the bamboo shoots with cold mixed wild vegetables.
Seeing that although he ate with relish, his body was as thin as ever, Gu Jin gave him another bowl of mountain chicken soup: "Drink more soup to grow tall."
