Chapter 114 Because the food is delicious
Gu Yiyao discovered this problem only after her grandfather's family started farming.
In order to improve the land in Da Deng, she has sacrificed a lot of her leisure time over the years, and after training, she would play with the soil and manure.
Although her original intention of improving the land was to make money, part of her motivation was also to help these hardworking but still impoverished farmers.
After sending the villagers away, Gu Yiyao looked at the Gu family who were still unhappy despite the great harvest. She knew that they were upset about the villagers who had just knelt down and cried, so she decided to distract their attention.
"The vermicelli dried in grandpa's yard is ready. We can make hot and sour noodles today!"
"What?! Can I eat the spicy and sour noodles you mentioned today?!"
The carefree Gu Yubai rarely feels depressed, but before he could even last three seconds, he was instantly pulled back to his senses by his niece!
At this moment, he was looking at Gu Yiyao with shining eyes, and the word "foodie" was almost written on his forehead.
As expected, the depressed Gu family members were now thinking about what the hot and sour noodles tasted like.
However, anything that can make such a picky girl in their family praise it so much must be delicious!
Gu Yiyao took out chili peppers, green peppercorns, red peppercorns, and dried chili peppers. Da Deng didn't have these, but fortunately, she had planted a lot of them in the vegetable area of her spiritual plant space.
Otherwise she would be taken advantage of by the system. The divine doctor system actually sold her 1000 points for one or two peppercorns. It was so cruel and insane!
Gu Yiyao handed the things to Yang, who happily took Gu Yiyao to the kitchen. The Gu family members also gathered around, wanting to see what hot and sour noodles were.
Gu Yiyao instructed Yang to put a large spoonful of lard into the hot pot first!
The distressed old lady Yin kept crying out!
But old lady Yin's heartache soon disappeared. Gu Yiyao directed Yang to pour onions, ginger and garlic into the pot. The rich aroma of onion oil filled the whole house. Then she poured green peppercorns, red peppercorns, chili peppers and chopped mushrooms into the pot and stir-fried them.
Then she poured the vinegar she bought from the system along the edge of the pot to let the hot oil and vinegar blend together to bring out the aroma of vinegar!
Finally, he poured in a large pot of bone soup that had been simmering on low heat since this morning. After the soup boiled, he put the vermicelli into the pot. The vermicelli was as thin as silver threads, and the spicy and fragrant taste that everyone in the Gu family had never smelled before made them drool uncontrollably!
Old lady Yin just stared at the pot curiously. She had been cooking all her life, but had never smelled such a fragrance!
It makes people want to drool!
Whoops!
What does this smell like?
Why does it smell so good?!
Gu Yiyao looked at the Gu family members who were sniffing hard to figure out what the smell was, and smiled with great satisfaction!
It would be strange if they could smell it, because there were no Sichuan peppercorns or chili peppers in the Great Deng Dynasty, only ordinary chili peppers, and no vinegar or soy sauce!
If she didn’t have the system and the spiritual plant space, she really wouldn’t be able to make this delicious hot and sour noodle!
At this time, everyone in the Gu family didn't know that they were about to welcome their first benefactor. At this moment, all they could think about was the hot and sour noodles in the pot.
The Minister of Revenue looked at Xie Tingzhou with some resentment, as if he had suffered a lot of injustice, but he didn't dare to be angry or say anything!
After leaving court this morning, the Marquis of Yongchang suddenly asked to take me out for a trip!
He thought that the Marquis of Yongchang was taking him to Zuihualou, but he knew that Zuihualou had recently received several skinny ladies from Yangzhou, and all of them were as beautiful as fairies!
He is worried about having no money!
He followed Xie Tingzhou happily, thinking that he could finally go to taste the wine without spending his own money. Oh, no, it was to chat with the skinny people in Yangzhou about poetry, songs and life ideals under the covers!
Who would have thought that he would bring me to this remote place, even though I am a second-rank official!
Very good! I thought that the Marquis of Yongchang finally got wise after marrying his wife, but it turns out that he still knows nothing!
What else is there for men to do besides going to Zuihualou?
The Minister of Revenue Wang Shenmaolin was getting more and more tired as he walked, and his eyes looked even more resentful as he looked at Xie Tingzhou!
Forget it! Even if he is a second-rank official, he can only endure in front of the Xie family!
The resentful Minister of Revenue followed Xie Tingzhou closely. Suddenly, a strange smell wafted in the air, making him drool. He suddenly felt very hungry!
How could he not be hungry? He just had two quick bites in the morning in order to go to court. He had been planning to have a good meal when he got home, but he was dragged by this Marquis Xie to see some damn country scenery!
As the Minister of Revenue, he is in charge of the finances and farmland of the entire Da Deng, and he still needs Lord Xie to lead him to see the countryside!
Huh?! But then again, what on earth is this smell? Why have I never smelled anything like it before?
Wang Maolin kept twitching his nose and looked towards a house not far away. This was the only family nearby, so the fragrance must have come from here!
Wang Maolin is a natural foodie. He usually spends most of his salary on food. Of course, he cannot miss this opportunity!
So he mustered up his courage and said to Xie Tingzhou:
"My Lord, we have been walking for most of the day. Why don't we go to the family in front to ask for a bowl of water and get a feel for the people."
After Wang Maolin finished speaking, he looked at Xie Tingzhou with a guilty conscience. Damn it, he almost told everyone about eating for free!
It’s all because the fragrance is so good!
Xie Tingzhou curled his lips and smiled:
"Just follow Lord Wang's arrangements."
Wang Maolin laughed heartily after hearing this, and even quickened his pace, urging as he walked:
"My Lord, let's go faster!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tingzhou also quickened his pace.
He was also very curious about the strange smell. Perhaps the Gu family was not what he thought, but just an ordinary farmer.
This is even better. With their own excellence and my help, the Gu family will have a place in the capital.
Xie Yun had already rushed to the door of Gu's house and shouted:
"Madam! Madam! I am Xie Yun! I am here with the Marquis to see you!"
The Gu family was eagerly waiting for the hot and sour noodles to come out of the pot when they heard Xie Yun's shout. Gu Yubai just wanted to stare at the pot and didn't want to open the door, so he kicked Gu Yuan:
"Open the door!"
Gu Yu'an was also staring at the pot and was a little reluctant. In the end, Gu Yichen went to open the door with a gloomy face.
The man who wanted to steal his mother is here again!
When Gu Yingxue heard Xie Yun calling at the door, she stomped her feet and went back to the house with a red face.
Gu Yiyao looked at her mother with some amusement, who looked more and more like a little wife. Who would have thought that this was a fierce woman who could kill a zombie with a slap in her previous life!
It turns out that a woman's personality depends on who she meets!
In short, love changes people beyond recognition!
Gu Yiyao shook off the goose bumps on her body and asked Yang to sprinkle some chopped green onions in the pot and prepare to serve!
As soon as Wang Maolin entered the Gu family's yard, he rushed into the Gu family's kitchen without caring about anything.
I saw Xie Yun was already holding a bowl, waiting in line in front of the stove with his eyes wide open, just like the Gu family members!
He quickly took two bowls and gave one to Xie Tingzhou, then he quickly lined up behind Xie Yun!
After standing up, he pondered for a moment, then moved back with a painful look on his face, motioning Xie Tingzhou to stand in front of him.
Xie Tingzhou stood in front of Wang Maolin without any hesitation!
Seeing this, Xie Yun smiled awkwardly and quickly lined up behind Xie Tingzhou. Wang Maolin, who had a sad face, saw this and forcibly pulled Xie Yun to line up behind him.
He stood behind Xie Tingzhou and looked at Xie Yun with a smug smile on his face!
Humph! As a second-rank official in the imperial court, he was in charge of the finances and people's livelihood of the entire Deng, so it was natural for him to be ranked ahead of Xie Yun!
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please accept my greetings."
Xie Tingzhou bowed solemnly to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Yin, and then bowed to everyone in the Gu family in the room.
Wang Maolin almost lost his hold on the bowl after hearing what Xie Tingzhou said!
He knew that Young Marquis Xie was going to marry a peasant girl.
But he thought it was just a farmer's family like a landlord, but he didn't expect it to be a real farmer's family!
Wang Maolin tightly grasped his bowl, wondering why Xie Tingzhou would lower his own status in such a way.
Suddenly, he looked at the big pot that was steaming and emitting a mouth-watering aroma, and suddenly he was enlightened!
He knew it! It was because the Gu family’s cooking was delicious!
