Chapter 155

After lunch, everyone was busy.

Ji Changlin wrote couplets and Gu Zhendong helped paste them.

Wang Guiying caught a chicken from the pigsty. Gu Zhennan picked it up. "Mom, I'll kill it."

"OK." Wang Guiying gave Gu Zhennan the chicken. She took out the pig feet pickled years ago and washed them. Later, she stewed them in a pot, while Guo Er helped burn the fire.

"Shall I help you?" Guo Xiang said to Gu Zhennan.

"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded. He liked working with his daughter-in-law.

Although Guo Xiang has never killed a chicken, she is a doctor and is not afraid of blood.

Gu Zhennan caught the chicken, twisted the chicken neck to his head, exposed his neck, pulled out the fine hair on it, and Guo Xiang came forward to help catch his feet.

Wang Guiying took a bowl with a little salt water in it. "Put the blood in this bowl. Don't waste it."

Gu Zhennan nodded, took a kitchen knife and scratched on the chicken's neck. Blood suddenly gushed out.

He took another chopstick, picked it from his scratched neck, took out the trachea, and cut it again. The chicken twitched all over and earned very hard. Guo Xiang quickly grabbed it.

The chicken blood trickled down into the bowl. Gu Zhennan stirred it with chopsticks. After a while, the blood solidified.

When the chicken is dead, boil the boiling water, soak the chicken, pluck, open the mouth, wash the chicken offal, and then give it to Wang Guiying.

Wang Guiying fried the pig's feet with ginger, added some home-made sweet potato wine, boiled it in the water, and moved it to the charcoal stove for stew.

Then he began to cook the braised meat.

After paying off the debt this year, Guo Xiang also left money before. Later, his son sent money back. He prepared a lot of dishes this year.

In previous years, there was almost only a bowl of braised meat and a bowl of fish. During the new year, they had to leave it to guests. They didn't dare to move their chopsticks.

This year is very different from the past. Wang Guiying is satisfied with cooking and doesn't know how good she is.

"By the way, I have special products there." Guo Xiang suddenly remembered.

I looked in the bag, found a bag of dried squid, soaked it in hot water, and maybe I could fry a bowl in time.

When Wang Guiying fried all the other dishes and stewed them, the dried squid was almost soaked.

"Mom, fry a bowl of this and try it." Guo Xiang took the dried squid.

"Sister in law, what is this?" The fruit sitting in front of the stove stood up curiously.

Growing up in the mainland, I used to live a hard life. I haven't seen seafood at all.

"This is squid. It's seafood. It's from Hu Jian's friend." Guo Xiang said.

"I won't." Wang Guiying is a little embarrassed.

"I'll teach you." Guo Xiang washed the squid, pulled out the transparent fish bones inside, washed the suction cups on the squid whiskers, and then cut off the whiskers first. The squid body was cut into fine stripes with a straight knife, cut again with a oblique knife, and then cut into diamonds one by one.

"Let's blanch it with water." Guo Xiang said.

Wang Guiying put water in the pot, waited for the water to boil, and threw the dried squid down. As soon as the dried squid was heated, it rolled up, and each piece of meat bulged to form a squid roll.

"What fun!" Guo'er looks very novel by the stove.

When it was almost the same, Guo Xiang picked up the squid and put it in a bowl. He said to Wang Guiying, "then you can fry pepper."

"Good!" Wang Guiying nodded and understood.

Cut ginger slices and scallions, put lard in the fire, fry until fragrant, throw dried squid down and fry, pour some wine, then put in the cut pepper, salt, soy sauce seasoning and a little monosodium glutamate, and you can start the pot.

"I'll try it!" Guo Er can't wait. She's never eaten it.

Guo Xiang took a piece and put it into Guo er's mouth. He also ate one. He nodded while eating, "it's good."

"It's delicious. It's fresh and crisp." Guo Er also nodded while chewing.

After cooking this dish, Wang Guiying finally cooked a fish, which is more than every year. This is also a necessary dish for the new year.

On the other side, the pig's feet and braised pork are almost ready. The aroma of the whole kitchen is diffuse, and the fruit's saliva is flowing down. "What a good dish this year."

Wang Guiying also looked happy. This was the most prosperous year of her life.

Guo Xiang walked out of the kitchen. Gu Zhennan shook her hand. "Is it cold?"

Although the temperature in southern Hunan is not as low as that in the northeast, because there is no heating, the indoor and outdoor temperatures are basically the same. During the coldest time of the new year, it also drops to about zero and is relatively humid. It is more sad than in the northeast.

"Fortunately, I've been working and don't feel cold." Guo Xiang shook his head.

"I burned charcoal pots in the hall and came to bake." Gu Zhennan took Guo Xiang's hand.

Gu Zhendong and Ji Changlin have sat at the table to bake. Seeing Gu Zhennan holding Guo Xiang's hand, Gu Zhendong's face is a little red. The feelings between his eldest brother and sister-in-law are good. He is a little envious.

"Come and sit down." Ji Changlin said hello.

"Yes." Guo Xiang answered. Gu Zhennan's latte chopsticks dialed in the charcoal fire to make the charcoal fire burn up.

"How about in Northeast China? Do you practice medicine? You have to practice medicine after you get the doctor's qualification certificate, otherwise you're rusty. " Ji Changlin said.

Guo Xiang shook his head. "There's no chance, but I want to go to university and Medical University."

"Do you have to go to college?" Ji Changlin and Gu Zhendong spoke in unison, both surprised.

"Well, Zhennan and I are preparing for college." Guo Xiang said, and Gu Zhennan nodded aside.

"Big brother also wants to take the exam?" Gu Zhennan was shocked. His eldest brother is not young.

"Zhendong, don't worry, we won't affect you. You're good to read. Don't worry about the tuition. We'll be ready." Guo Xiang said.

Gu Zhendong is also a senior three this year and will take part in the college entrance examination with them next year. She wondered if he was afraid that they would all take the college entrance examination. At that time, he would have no money to go to school.

"My sister-in-law is doing some business now. There is no problem with tuition and living expenses. You don't have to worry. We will take good care of our family." Guo Xiang added.

"I'm not worried." Gu Zhendong blushed, "I'm just a little surprised."

First, he didn't expect his eldest brother to be old. Second, although his sister-in-law is not stupid, it's not so easy to enter the University. Can she?

But they made their own decisions, and it was hard for him to say anything.

"Do you still want to be a western medicine?" Ji Changlin asked.

Guo Xiang nodded, "I still want to be a surgeon. I don't think I've lost my knowledge of Western medicine, but I'm not qualified now, so I can only take the exam again. But don't worry, master. I won't lose traditional Chinese medicine. I'm sure I can use it in the future. "

Ji Changlin nodded, "just think it over yourself. In the future, you will serve the people, regardless of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine."

"Did Zhendong think about what to learn in the future?" Guo Xiang looks at Gu Zhendong.

"I don't know." Gu Zhendong shook his head. In fact, he had no clear goal and was unfamiliar with those majors. He was a little confused.

Guo Xiang nodded. It's normal for him to have no career planning at his age. He also lives in the countryside. He has little knowledge and doesn't understand many.

"Your eldest brother should still take the major related to oil. If you want to be with him, you can also consider it, but it's hard to work in the oil field."

"In addition, our country is now vigorously developing the economy, and there is a lack of economic talents. You can also consider studying the major of economic management." Guo Xiang said.

Gu Zhendong was surprised that his sister-in-law knew so much.
