Chapter 44 Dinner Party
“Actually, no one wants to hang out on the street, including me, so you don’t need to comfort me.”
He just didn’t find a suitable job. He went to work at the same time every day. Off-duty work is not suitable for him, and he has no interest in living on thirty or forty yuan a month.
Lin Shu suppressed a smile and said considerately: "I understand, you don't like restrictions."
Gu Jiu coughed, "Actually, I think your work is very good. , you can go into the mountains and walk around every day, see different scenery, and don’t have to deal with other people. It’s so comfortable to be alone. ”
It was the first time that Lin Shu had heard someone say this about her hard work climbing mountains every day to dig up medicine. However, apart from the hard work, due to the system, she did make more money than she could get from work.
Based on this, since someone gave her a job for twenty or thirty yuan a month, she was not willing to change it.
“You are discerning!”
“Haha.” Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said to her with a half-smile: “How about I be your deputy and follow you up and down the mountain every day? He, follow you to dig herbs?"
"You?" Lin Shu didn't expect this kid to have such thoughts, and looked at him with suspicion: "Can you bear the hardship of going up the mountain?"
< br>
Gu Jiu raised his arm to show off his biceps, "What do you think?"
"."
Lin Shu looked at him, with a porcelain-white complexion and a three-dimensional sculpture-like figure. facial features , with long and narrow eyes full of energy, and a faint smile on her moderately thick lips. It is hard to imagine that such a handsome and rebellious young man would beg her to go up the mountain to collect medicine.
Moreover, his appearance is so attractive to women. If he puts on a decent dress, he looks like a prince in the game world.
“You are staring at me intently, my hair is messed up?” Gu Jiu used his hand as a comb to brush back his hair.
The corner of Lin Shu's mouth was slightly raised, and the smile in his eyes was thick, "No, I suddenly discovered that even simple clothes can't hide your unique charm."
"." Gu Jiu was stunned, and realized what he was doing. This is being teased.
I don’t know what happened, but at this moment, the scene of saving someone last time appeared in my mind for no reason. Thinking of her proud curves, I couldn’t help but feel my face getting a little hot.
"You woman, you are so courageous!"
Aren't you afraid that he, a single man, will knock her down? Can a man tease her casually?
"Pfft!" Lin Shu didn't expect this man to be so careless with teasing. Looking at his pink earlobes, she sighed that men in this era were so innocent that she, an old aunt, couldn't bear to tease them.
Hearing the laughter, Gu Jiu's face and neck turned red.
Because of the dinner party in the evening, today happens to be Saturday again. The unit has a holiday starting in the afternoon and has one day off on Sunday.
Nowadays, workplace schools still have one and a half days off a week, and the later weekends were not implemented until 1990.
Gu Jiu rode to inform his brother. Lin Shu went out with him carrying a vegetable basket. After passing the nearest state-owned farmer's market, Gu Jiu stopped his bicycle.
Lin Shu jumped off the back seat of the bicycle. Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu who was holding a vegetable basket with a natural expression, his eyes were a little complicated, "Comrade Lin Shu, I'm sorry to bother you. You can use the money as you wish and buy more of your favorite vegetables." ."
"Okay, I'll watch. "
Lin Shu is not a village girl who has never been out of the countryside, but an old aunt who has lived for decades. In her previous life, she went to the market to buy fresh vegetables every day. How could she be so helpless? Shopping for groceries is easy for her.
She knows very well which part of the pork is the tenderest, which piece of meat is suitable for making dumplings, and which piece of meat is suitable for stir-fry.
Lin Shu smiled and waved to Gu Jiu, who was still worried about leaving. Seeing him kicking his feet, the bicycle slipped away.
Looking at the retreating figure, he muttered: "This little kid has so many worries!"
This was Lin Shu's first time visiting a state-run farmer's market in this era after his rebirth. Entering the market, the first thing you see is rows of stalls, with fresh food, poultry, aquatic products, etc. all divided into areas.
Lin Shu went to the meat stall first. It was already afternoon and the meat at the meat stall was definitely not as fresh as in the morning. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot now, even some of the meat left at the end was There is also a choice of meat.
With only one kilogram of meat coupons, Lin Shu bought a piece of fat meat weighing one kilogram, and incidentally bought a pork belly that did not require meat coupons.
I passed by a tofu stall and bought a piece of white tofu. The fish in the fish stall pool had been sold out. Thinking that there were still pheasants and hares at home, Lin Shu didn't worry too much. She turned around and bought some chili and green vegetable ingredients. When she saw that there were processed snails and clam shells, she also bought them. One pound.
Returning to the Gu family's old house, Lin Shu boiled water to process the pheasant and peeled off the skin of the hare.
The ease with which I can do these things is attributed to my previous life, when I worked in restaurants to support my son, and learned how to handle ingredients and cook in the kitchen.
After these two game items were processed, Lin Shu began to clean the pork belly.
Clean the pork belly, cut it into strips, blanch it in water and put it in a casserole. Cut the clam shell meat you bought back into strips, blanch it in water and put it in a casserole. Add ginger slices and simmer slowly on the coal stove. With.
The pork belly and clam soup would taste better if it had some peanuts in it. Due to the lack of ingredients in this era, we can only add these two ingredients, but it tastes good when stewed and seasoned.
After handling the snails, clean them, and set them aside for later use. Lin Shu prepared the snails and pheasant to make a snail-roasted chicken dish, the hare to make spicy rabbit meat, and the tofu and scallions to make a green onion-roasted tofu.
The rest is fried dried mushrooms with chili, shredded potatoes, and fried lettuce slices.
Lin Shu arranged it this way and prepared the side dishes. Whether to add more dishes would depend on how many friends Gu Jiu invited back.
As soon as these were prepared, before Lin Shu had time to sit down and take a sip of water, the sound of bicycle bells and the laughter of several people could be heard at the door of his ancestral home.
"Comrade Lin Shu, I have invited someone here."
Gu Jiuren arrived before he could.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shu saw that the first person to come in was Gu Jiu. Behind him came two unknown boys, who were probably about the same age as Gu Jiu. The last ones to come in were the brother and sister Xu Ming. .
This is not his own home. Lin Shu could not say welcome, so he could only smile politely at them, "I have taken care of the dishes. I can just fry them later."
Gu Jiu was startled for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin Shu to move so quickly, "Okay, let's go to the hall for tea."
Xu Ting had a bad look on her face from the moment she walked in. When she passed by Lin Shu, she snorted coldly at her.
Lin Shu was a little confused and thought her eldest lady had a difficult temper.
"Wow~Brother Jiu, what a good day is today? You have prepared so many refreshments, melon seeds, peanuts and glutinous rice sticks!"
"Wow, there are also White Rabbit toffee, Brother Jiu, You are rich!"
Gu Jiu ignored them and introduced to Lin Shu who followed him: "This is my brother Li Yuanchao."
Li Yuanchao is about 1.6 meters tall, not tall among men. He has a thin build, single eyelids and a bit small eyes.
“This is also my brother Tang Jianjun.”
Tang Jianjun is medium in height among them, about 1.75 meters tall, with a Chinese character face. In this era, his appearance is considered to be national. My husband's type.
