Chapter 45 Masters among the people

Qiao Yuemei was in charge of cooking all the lunch. Gu Wan tasted the food carefully and had to admit that her biological mother was much better than her.

What Gu Wan meant by delicious cooking was because she came from the future, when Internet information was well developed.

You can search the Internet for detailed recipes for anything you want to eat, and then add a bunch of seasonings, thus creating all kinds of so-called "nothing to eat".

But her mother was different. In that era, the number of condiments was limited, and Qiao Yuemei's delicious cooking was purely a display of her own superb skills.

That is, to let the food itself play its greatest effect and let people taste all kinds of pure natural delicacies.

This is a true master. Gu Wan was only ashamed of his own opportunism.

Like the chicken soup on the table, a thin layer of chicken oil floats on the surface of the soup, but the aroma of the chicken soup is not sealed by this layer of oil.

After a while, a thin oil film seemed to form on the oil layer.

The chicken was stewed until it was just right and the bones were off, with the two big chicken legs inserted diagonally in the middle.

In later times when resources were abundant, a fat chicken would secrete more fat when stewed.

This layer of chicken fat is often skimmed off by the chef before the dish is served, because it is unhealthy and will make people gain weight.

But here, everyone usually eats plain soup, and oil is a good thing.

Being able to drink a bowl of chicken soup with a few pieces of chicken is a great treat that you can only get during the Chinese New Year.

Things like chicken legs, of course, can only be owned by the most precious and lovely people.

As the head of the family, Mrs. Gu first gave a chicken leg to her eldest granddaughter, and no one objected to this.

In fact, Shi Guixiang originally wanted to give both chicken legs to her eldest granddaughter, as they were all caught by Wanwan. Those useless boys were only meant to drink the soup and eat the vegetables in it.

But at least I can't be too biased, so I just gave the other chicken leg to Qi Bin.

Fortunately, there was delicious spicy rabbit meat, so everyone else didn’t mind.

And they are all sensible. If it weren’t for their sister’s ability, they wouldn’t even have chicken skin to eat.

In addition, Qiao Yuemei also made a stewed egg.

This is not an ordinary stewed egg, it is steamed with chicken oil.

After a delicious meal, the Gu family members went out to work in the afternoon.

Naturally, the tasks assigned to Gu Wan at the educated youth point were still done by his brothers.

Just kidding, not only the usual candies and cookies, but also delicious chickens and rabbits.

It would be unjust not to work for a girl like this!

Qi Bin naturally needed to rest in the afternoon. After all the suffering he had endured today, his body's ability to endure had actually reached its limit.

Fortunately, he still had some spare medicine. After taking the medicine and taking a nap, he felt much better when he woke up again.

As a result, Qi Bin had just gotten up when Gu Wan came to find him.

Without further ado, he took a small stool and sat at the head of Qi Bin's bed. "I have a deal to discuss with you."

Looking at Gu Wan's serious expression, he laughed and said, "What kind of deal do you want to discuss with me?"

"I dug up a wild ginseng. It's good. Do you want some?"

It was during the process of catching chickens and rabbits today that Gu Wan saw the wild ginseng that was well hidden but was exposed because of her running, so she naturally dug it up.

She found that she had good luck these days.

No, it should be said that ever since Qin Shiman and Qi Yuanhang came and caused trouble, her luck has been extremely good.

If Qin Shiman knew that her strategy system had this adverse effect, I wonder how she would feel?
Gu Wan knew that wild ginseng could be taken to a pharmacy to be exchanged for money, and it was a good way to make money.

However, that would be too troublesome. She didn't know how to explain the origin of the wild ginseng to others, and she would probably be forced to lower her price.

Of all the people she knew, Qi Bin was probably the only one who could afford it, and she had a hunch that he would need it. That was why Gu Wan approached Qi Bin to ask for it.

Sure enough, Qi Bin said without hesitation: "I want it."

He didn't even ask where Gu Wan got the wild ginseng from.

Qi Bin really needed it, but not for Old Man Qi.

The old man is in a high position and has great power, so he doesn't need these good things.

It’s just that his grandfather is old, and for various reasons, he has not had a good life in recent years.

With wild ginseng, at least he can replenish his body, and his mother won't be so worried.

"Let's talk business. This wild ginseng is really good. You can't treat me unfairly."

Qi Bin laughed, "Am I such a person?"

So the two men reached a deal and tacitly agreed to pay for the goods separately.

That way, it won't attract attention.

The two looked at each other tacitly, and when they heard the sound of many people talking outside, they knew that their family members had returned.

Gu Wan walked out first, and then Qi Bin left the room.

After all, a girl's reputation is more important.

Qi Bin is just a guest of the Gu family now. In fact, he has nothing to do with the old Gu family. Naturally, he needs to be very careful in certain aspects.

Qi Bin felt a lot of resentment about this. Why couldn't he and Gu Wan become a family?
Just when the family gathered together and everyone was talking excitedly, Gu Wan saw the opportunity and directly took out five pairs of white Warrior shoes.

The six brothers shared six pairs of shoes. They had also bought a pair before, so the extra pair was just right for her father.

And her biological mother, Gu Wan, was planning to buy her a summer dress.

As for my grandparents and other uncles and aunts, they have the cloth to make clothes.

Grandma also said that my aunt was very good at needlework, so Gu Wan didn't need to worry about making clothes.

Before, Gu Bin accompanied his grandmother and Gu Wan to the county and had already received a pair of shoes.

At that time, considering that what was worrying was not the lack of wealth but the inequality of distribution, Shi Guixiang told Gu Bin not to take out the shoes.

At this moment, Gu Wan was more direct: "I just happened to have a ticket to buy Warrior shoes, and I saw that they were on sale in the department store, so I bought them for my brothers."

The boys were all stunned. These white Warrior shoes were the first of their kind in the whole village.

At most they wore cloth shoes or cotton shoes made by their family members. In the summer they wore straw sandals or simply went barefoot.

Moreover, cloth shoes, cotton shoes and the like were passed down to younger brothers when the older children outgrew them, and boys were particularly good at making clothes and shoes.

When they got to Gu Shu and Gu Lin, their clothes and shoes were basically in tatters, with only a few pieces of rags hanging on their bodies.

Gu Wan brought back quite a bit of cloth, and the old lady emphasized this when distributing it to her daughters-in-law.

Did she really think that cloth was so easy to buy? Even if it was defective cloth, it was only because of her eldest granddaughter's ability.

Now that the boys have seen the Warrior shoes, it’s no longer a question of favoritism on the part of the elders.

Even they themselves think that they should treat their sister best!
But when Gu Zhiqiang looked at everything in front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Wife, am I too useless?"

Qiao Yuemei turned her head and took a look. "What's wrong?"

"I should work hard and find ways to make money so that my daughter can live a good life in the countryside like in the city." Gu Zhiqiang vowed.

He didn't even mention that he had two sons and should save money to help them get married.

Qiao Yuemei seemed to have forgotten that she not only had a daughter who came back late, but also two sons who were her biological children?
