Chapter 161 The Troublemaker
So before going home, Gu Wan bought dried mushrooms and bean curd sticks from the supply and marketing cooperative, and there were green vegetables, leeks, chopped green onions and the like at home.
It’s hard to buy any good meat at this time. Anyway, there is still the pork belly she bought last time in her red envelope group’s storage cabinet, so she can just take it back with her.
There happened to be some white flour at home, so she planned to make dumplings. Not to mention her family, even she would crave the big meat buns every time she passed by the restaurant on her way.
Maybe. People these days lack oil and water, and they eat less fine grains, so they may not be able to eat steamed buns even during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Wan planned to make buns with three kinds of fillings: meat buns, mushroom buns, and sauerkraut buns. With many people at home working together, the work could be done quickly.
Over there, Qiao Yuemei poured water into the flour and kneaded it into dough, then covered it with a cloth to let the dough rise, while Gu Wan was preparing the filling.
Before, Qiao Yuemei would always nag her daughter to keep the money she earned for herself and not spend it all on the family.
Now I am numb to it, and I just often talk to my two sons:
Your sister is thinking about you in her heart. She works hard to earn money and spends it on you. You should keep your sister in your heart all your life.
Gu Wan was speechless at her mother's words, but her two brothers nodded seriously and were almost ready to swear an oath to prove it.
Gu Wan mentally fought for her future sister-in-law for three seconds. Alas, it seems that her brothers are undoubtedly mama's boys and sister's boys.
Chop the pork into minced meat, add two eggs, chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, salt and sugar.
After stirring evenly, set aside to marinate. Wash the dried mushrooms and bean curd sheets, soak them in warm water, and then cut into cubes.
Cut the green vegetables into shreds and add them to the seasoning to make the filling. Dice the sauerkraut and mix it with the other part of the minced meat. Add mushrooms and green vegetables to make a total of three fillings.
In order to make the buns delicious, Gu Wan put a lot of oil and stuffing. Although Qiao Yuemei told herself to let her daughter do as she pleased, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw her daughter doing so lavishly.
Alas, she was indeed the eldest daughter in the past. She and her third brother will have to make more money in the future.
It's impossible that life will get worse after my daughter returns home, right?
After the buns are made, they are put into the pot to steam. A fragrance wafts out from the kitchen, and everyone in the house and the yard can't sit still.
Because of the help of Qiao Yuemei and Shi Guixiang, the three of them worked very quickly, especially since Gu Wan had prepared sufficient materials.
So not only Gu Laosan's family, but the entire Gu family could eat as much white flour buns as they wanted.
They couldn’t tell their family, so the two Shulin brothers stayed in their room to recuperate, feeling a little bad.
As a result, he smelled the fragrance outside and jumped up from the bed, "Brother, I seem to smell the smell of meat."
When Gu Shu saw him like this, he wanted to beat his brother up again. Shouldn’t this guy think about how to keep his job first?
If they could continue working in the farm tool factory and receive a salary every month, they would be able to eat a lot of meat.
However, in front of delicious food, big principles are useless, and Gu Shu's stomach surrendered earlier than his reason.
The two brothers rushed to the kitchen together. There were just two more laborers. Gu Wan made a total of 60 big buns and asked the two brothers to deliver 30 to each of their uncle's and second uncle's homes.
There were exactly ten of each filling, so every family could eat as many buns as they wanted in the evening. Since they had to cook at home anyway, Qiao Yuemei steamed the buns before asking her sons to deliver them.
"Wanwan made three different fillings, you are in for a treat." Qiao Yuemei said with a smile.
She also noticed that her sons were worried about something else, so she teased them on purpose.
Since the children didn't want to talk, she wouldn't deliberately pursue it. After all, the children are grown up. If it weren't for the delay of family affairs in the past two years, the brothers Shanhai and Lin would actually get married. Therefore, as long as the general direction is controlled, Qiao Yuemei will not pursue the small details of daily life.
"What are the three kinds of fillings?" Gu Lin stared at the buns carefully.
No matter how you look at them, they look the same, whether in shape or texture, and you can't tell the difference in the fillings.
"Meat, mushrooms, greens, and sauerkraut."
When Gu Lin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Great, these are all what I like."
Gu Shu said, "You like everything as long as it's delicious."
Gu Lin didn't bother to argue with his brother. He quickly took a large steamer and sent it to his uncle's house. He was in a hurry to come back to eat the big meat buns.
This bun must be eaten while hot, it will not taste good if it is cold.
At Gu Laosan's house, the two elders would definitely eat together, so Gu Wan first took two meat buns for his grandparents.
Gu Mingfeng took a bite. The pork was juicy and the meat was tender and tasty, and the bun skin was soft. He finished the whole meat bun in just three or two bites.
Of course, Gu Mingfeng doesn’t actually know so many adjectives, he just thinks the buns made by his eldest granddaughter are really delicious.
Seeing the old man's silly smile, Shi Guixiang felt that it was irritating to the eyes, so she deliberately said, "Wild boars can't eat fine bran. If you want to eat it more deliciously, you should eat it slowly. Can't you eat it for a longer time?"
"You are right, old lady." As he said this, he picked up another one.
This time, Gu Mingfeng slowed down his chewing, as if he was tasting some delicacies from the land and the sea.
Qiao Yuemei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw the two elders acting funny, so she gave one to her daughter and asked her to eat it too.
Not to mention that everyone in the Gu family was in a good mood because they had eaten a delicious meal of steamed buns, Wei Wanrong over there really had no shortage of means and connections.
In fact, she knew that Gu Wan must have something to ask for, but since the other party did not say it in detail, she did not intend to interfere for the time being.
She just told Gu Wan what she knew about the Song family's daughter-in-law, that Du Huijuan went to work as an officer in the trade union through her father-in-law's relationship.
He has a very good relationship with Deputy Director Zhu of the factory, but he and Director Zhou are in two different camps.
In fact, the temporary worker vacancies were created by Deputy Director Zhu, who wanted to recruit his relatives, but they were snatched away by the Gu brothers.
Moreover, Gu Shu and Gu Lin got in through Zhou's relationship, so they became opponents of Deputy Director Zhu. In fact, he had long intended to deal with the Gu brothers.
Du Huijuan intentionally or unintentionally said a lot of bad things about Gu Shu and Gu Lin to her younger brother, which made Du Wei jealous of them.
Fighting was just an excuse. In fact, the real reason was that Deputy Director Zhu wanted to kick them out of the farm tool factory.
Of course, Du Wei was not a good person at first. He bullied men and women in the factory.
However, his sister and brother-in-law were both factory managers, and ordinary workers did not dare to offend him. However, Gu Shu and Gu Lin received rewards from the factory but did not even give him any "respect".
This caused trouble, and what was originally a fight turned into such a big scene.
The key point is that Director Zhou was on a business trip these days, which gave Deputy Director Zhu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
