Chapter 45 A Subtle Relationship
Gu Jiu introduced them to each other again, "Comrade Lin Shu, a native of Shanyin, invited you to come to dinner this time because she lassoed two pheasants and hares on the mountain. Bring it here for everyone to gather together.”
“We brothers can eat wild game today thanks to cousin Lin Shu’s credit. We’ll all have to toast her later,” Xu Ming answered with a smile. Let’s talk.
Lin Shu smiled and said to them: "Since we are all friends, we must eat and drink well tonight. If the game is to your liking, I will try it next time."
Li Yuanchao ate a glutinous rice stick and said, "Comrade Lin Shu, we are going to eat all of you tonight. You don't know, I haven't had any meat for a month, but it makes me hungry to death."
Xu Ming poured tea for everyone. After hearing what he said, he didn't believe it at all, "Don't be so pitiful. Several people in your family work. Didn't the company issue meat stamps?"
Li Yuanchao faced his brother, There was no sense of keeping the family scandal in public, so he complained bitterly to them, "Don't mention it, you guys Knowing that my family has a large population, the four taels of meat coupons each month are only one pound and two taels for three people at work. My mother thinks the meat is too little and cannot be eaten by one person, so she likes to collect it for a few months and wait for the holidays before buying it. Meat.”
There’s no festival in the past two months, so how can I afford to buy meat with my meat ticket?
Besides, if you have some meat at home, you have to buy fat meat to make oil. Otherwise, where will the oil come from for cooking?
“Speaking of which, I still envy Ninth Brother the most. Meat stamps are sent to my family every month. One person can eat enough and the whole family is not hungry. The meat you buy goes into your mouth alone, and no one wants to compete with you. How cool!" Tang Jianjun's eyes were full of envy.
"However, we no longer envy you. The object of our envy is Comrade Lin Shu." Tang Jianjun smiled and said to Lin Shu: "Comrade Lin Shu, are you good at trapping pheasants and hares? Are there many pheasants and hares on the mountain? Do you want us to follow you to the mountains to hunt?”
“There’s a lot of game, but it’s also smart, and it all depends on luck.” Lin Shu leaned on the chair and peeled the melon seeds while replying. road.
Tang Jianjun nodded, if the game in the mountains was so easy to catch, there would be no shortage of meat in the city.
A few people chatted about work and learned that Lin Shu’s eldest and second brothers were recruited into the power supply station as temporary workers. They all congratulated Lin Shu.
Li Yuanchao complained that his job was no different from that of temporary workers at the power supply station. Not only was the salary not high, but it was also dirty and tiring.
Lin Shu was curious about his job. Gu Jiu sat next to her, leaned over a little, and whispered: "Li Yuanchao is in the sanitation department, and Tang Jianjun is in the street office."
Xu Ming and Xu Ting, she is I know that their brothers and sisters are at the power supply station.
"It seems that we are the only homeless people here." Gu Jiu concluded in the end.
"Brother Ninth, what are you and Lin Shu whispering about? What are you whispering that we can't all listen to?" Xu Ting pouted with an unhappy look on her face.
Gu Jiu sat up straight and coughed lightly: "Comrade Lin Shu is not very familiar with our group. I am introducing your profession to her."
Speaking of career, Li Yuanchao asked: "Brother Ninth, it's been two months since you came back. Have you decided on a job?"
Gu Jiu shrugged: "I just like to work on the street."
"Brother Jiu, you are a grown man, how can you not have a job? How will you support your family in the future?" Xu Ting always wanted to persuade him to go to work, but it was a shame that Gu Jiu didn't listen to her at all.
When Gu Jiu heard this, his face became confused, "Why do grown men have to have a job? I have money and food to eat. I can go to work if I want to. If I don't want to go to work, I can lie down, can't I?"
“Brother Ninth, you.”
Xu Ming stopped her from continuing, "Xiaoting, Gu Jiu has his own affairs and arrangements."
Xu Ting looked at Gu Jiu aggrievedly, wanting to be comforted by him, but Gu Jiu just pretended not to look. Seeing her aggrieved expression, he picked up the tea cup and drank slowly.
Speaking of which, Gu Jiu hates others taking care of him the most. When he is at home, the elders in the family want to ask him to do something.
The elders at home are the elders after all, so he can tolerate it, but outside, even friends cannot try to control him.
If you want to control him or teach him how to behave, he doesn't want to see you.
Lin Shu's eyes flickered between the two of them, looking at the faint smile on Gu Jiu's lips. She didn't expect that he sometimes spoke mercilessly. I didn't see that the little girl was almost crying when he was yelling at her.
"It's getting late. I'll go to the kitchen to cook first, and you guys can chat slowly." Lin Shu glanced at the setting sun, which was almost setting.
At this time Gu Jiu put down his teacup and stood up, "I'll accompany you."
"Wow!"
Li Yuanchao blew a sharp whistle, winked at Gu Jiu, and smiled meaningfully, "Jiu Jian, we can actually see Brother Jiu cooking for a day!"
Gu Jiu glared and started making noises. Several people followed Lin Shu into the kitchen.
"What did you stew?"
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Gu Jiu smelled the fragrance in the air and asked looking at the casserole on the coal stove.
Lin Shu opened the pot and took a look at the soup in the pot, "Pork belly stewed with clams. This soup is delicious and rich, and it is very nourishing."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I'll wash the rice first. Have you prepared all the dishes?"
"Everything is ready."
"I'll light the fire later." . ”
The soup is stewed on the coal stove, and the cooking can only be done on a wood stove. The dishes stir-fried with high heat are more delicious than those cooked on the coal stove.
"Okay." Lin Shu sat by the stove and looked at Gu Jiu, who was extremely skilled in washing rice. "When you had dinner together before, you didn't cook by yourself?"
Gu Jiu glanced at her, washed the rice in a pot and put it on the stove, "Yes, I used to provide the venue and they would arrange everything."
When the water boils, you can put the rice The pot is placed on the small stove at the end of the stove and cooked slowly, and the large stove below can be used for cooking.
Gu Jiu looked at Lin Shu's skillful cooking and adding seasonings casually, and asked curiously: "Do you often cook at home?"
"My mother and I are at home. Sister-in-law, I basically don’t need to do anything.” Her cooking skills were learned in her previous life.
"I don't need to do anything when I'm at home." Gu Jiu said with a smile in his eyes, "How about I follow you into the mountains tomorrow?"
Lin Shu paused while stir-frying rabbit meat, "You're going up the mountain with me, are you serious?"
"Of course, when have you ever seen me make a joke?" Gu Jiuxiao asked.
Lin Shu was a little confused, "I don't know if there are many medicinal herbs in the mountains nearby. If you go to the mountains farther away, it will be inconvenient for you to go home in the afternoon."
"Then I will go home in the afternoon. Follow you back and stay at your house."
Lin Shu looked at his playful face and subconsciously refused: "My family has a large population and the room is tight, which is inconvenient."
If she takes a man back to the countryside, the people in the village will think that she has found a partner. If they misunderstand her, she will be in trouble.
Seeing her refusal, Gu Jiu started lighting the fire seriously. When the aroma came out from the pot, he sniffed: "Your cooking tastes so delicious!"
"The food I cook tastes good. It's heavier, you can try it later to see if it suits your taste." Lin Shu felt relieved when he saw that he was not bothered about going up the mountain.
A dish was coming out of the pot, and while the pheasant was being stir-fried, a few people lay down at the door of the kitchen. While sniffing the aroma, they asked why Lin Shu's cooking was so fragrant. They were so greedy that their mouths watered.
