Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 231

Zheng Tong has a good mouth, and it takes no effort to eat bamboo shoots.

When he was in Beijing, he didn't like to eat bamboo shoots. He always thought that they were bamboos, and only giant pandas would eat them.

But when he came to Shanghe Village, especially after living in Lao Gu's house, Zheng Tong fell in love with this mouthful.

He now understands that he didn't like to eat bamboo shoots before, not because the bamboo shoots were unpalatable, but because the ones he ate were too old, and the fresh and tender bamboo shoots tasted crisp and tender, much tastier than asparagus.

If Gu Yun hadn't stopped him, the old man would have eaten the bamboo shoots, and Gu Mingdong was worried that he would suffer stomach bleeding from that posture.

Gu Liangxing ate until his eyes glowed, and when he finished eating, he got up and shouted: "It's so delicious, Dad, I'll go up the mountain and dig some more."

Gu Liangchen reminded: "Whip shoots are easy to grow old. It is best to dig them out and eat them now. They will grow old after one night."

"That's right, then I'll go digging tomorrow morning." Gu Liangxing also worked very hard for a bite to eat.

Gu Yun smiled and gestured: [It's a pity that the third and fourth aunts can't eat. 】

"Why don't you send them some?" Gu Liangxing suggested.

Gu Liangchen said, "By the time we send it over, the bamboo shoots will be old."

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "It's not easy, dig more and make it into diced bamboo shoot sauce, and then send it over, you won't be afraid of spoilage or old age."

This was a good idea. Gu Liangchen finished his meal and went to the mountain with Gu Liangxing, intending to dig more.

Gu Yun doesn't know how to make diced bamboo shoots and meat sauce. The others are in charge of peeling the bamboo shoots and cutting them into small cubes, while Gu Mingdong is in charge of cooking.

Because it is fresh and tender bamboo shoots, there is no need to soak them in water after peeling, just put them in the pan and diced them for later use.

Next is the main event. Gu Mingdong has never been stingy in cooking. A big bowl of fatty diced meat is poured down, and the aroma of lard spreads.

Gu Yun stood by and watched, planning to learn it, so she can do it in the future.

The fatty meat was fried for a while, and the smell of deep frying came out. Gu Liangxing came out from behind: "Dad."

Gu Mingdong understood: "Go and bring a small bowl."

Gu Liangxing brought one quickly, and with a movement of Gu Mingdong's shovel, a bowl of fried oil was taken out, and a handful of salt was sprinkled on it.

"Well, it's so delicious!" Gu Liangxing wasn't afraid of the heat, so he squeezed one and put it in his mouth, whimpering and taking a second bite at the same time.

"Dad, take a bite too." Gu Liangxing said, holding one and stuffing it into his mouth.

Gu Mingdong took one in his mouth, and it tasted really good, crispy and fragrant, but if he ate too much of it, he would get tired: "Eat it."

Gu Liangxing is not afraid of getting tired, but he walks around with a small bowl, letting everyone taste it.

At the end of the day, the young man stood there and sighed: "Hey, when I was young, I was looking forward to the Chinese New Year. I can eat lard residue during the Chinese New Year. This is the delicacy of my childhood."

Gu Liangchen also laughed, nodded and said: "I always think the lard residue when I was a child is more delicious, but this one is also very fragrant. Dad's cooking is still so good."

Zheng Tong joked: "That's because you guys are much more delicious now. You don't lack this kind of meat. I don't believe you can eat it after starving for three days. Let alone deep-fried, rotten sweet potatoes are delicious."

"That's right." Gu Liangxing poured the remaining lard residue into his mouth, and smashed it, "Our family is getting better and better, and we can eat fried food whenever we want."

While talking, Gu Mingdong had already put the minced meat into the pot, fried it until it changed color, added bamboo shoots, the most important thing was five-spice powder and soy sauce, and added home-grown millet pepper.

When it comes out of the pot, the red, green and green millet peppers are used as an embellishment, and the fresh eyebrow bamboo shoot meat sauce is ready.

Gu Yun came over early with a clean glass bottle.

Gu Mingdong filled two big pots, and the rest went straight out of the pot, and saved it for mixing with porridge tomorrow morning.

"Crack!" Gu Mingdong knocked on the back of his son's hand, "If you eat like this, you'll be gone."

Gu Liangxing smiled and said, "Dad, your cooking skills are so good, that's why I can't stop eating."

The diced bamboo shoots are tender and crisp, and the minced meat is also very fragrant. Even with the millet pepper inside, it is delicious. Gu Liangxing thinks that he doesn’t need other food. Just give him a bowl of diced bamboo shoots and meat sauce, and he can cook for a whole pot meal.

Gu Mingdong was amused: "It's not easy to like to eat. The whip bamboo shoots and millet peppers are all made by ourselves, but it costs some money to sell the meat. We just cook it after we finish eating."

Gu Yun also gestured: [I have learned it, I will do it next time. 】

Since he wanted to send dried bamboo shoots and meat sauce, Gu Mingdong simply prepared some more, such as wild vegetable mushroom sauce, sauerkraut minced meat sauce, and packed a full bag when he sent it out.

The cost of postage is more expensive than selling meat.

With the care of the family, the jars of meat sauce soon reached the hands of the Gu family sisters.

Gu Mingxi had been prepared for a long time, and when he went to the post office to pick up his luggage, he rode a bicycle on purpose, and then planted a large package of things back to the dormitory.

Lin Lu smiled after seeing it: "Your elder brother is too kind. It's only been a while since school started, and I've sent you something again."

"Of course my elder brother is the best." Gu Mingxi smiled.

College students are subsidized, and sending things is so expensive that few family members are willing to send things here every now and then.

Gu Mingxi smiled and opened the bag, revealing the bottles and cans inside.

Gu Mingdong was afraid that the things would be damaged on the way of transportation, so he found a foam box specially, and packed them with bottles at intervals. At first glance, it looks quite high-end and elegant.

It was so well wrapped that it took a little effort for Gu Mingxi and the sisters to pull out the glass tube without spilling it at all.

When Lin Lu saw it, her eyes lit up.

Gu Mingxi smiled and took out two small cans, and distributed them to two roommates: "This is what my elder brother specially told me, and I want to give it to you to try."

While talking about how embarrassing it was, Lin Lu took it happily, opened the can with all her strength and took a sip, her eyebrows raised in liking.

"Xiaoxi Xiaobei, your big brother's cooking skills are really good, it's really delicious."

Zheng Yuyu was embarrassed at first, but Gu Mingbei stuffed it into her hands directly, and said with a smile: "Brother specially kept the ones, and they are all self-made for free."

Only then did Zheng Yuyu accept it, blushing and thanking her.

Lin Lu had already tasted it, and asked as she ate, "Do you also eat spicy food over there? This millet pepper is really delicious."

"I didn't eat it at first, but my elder brother loves to eat it. There are many varieties of peppers grown at home." Gu Mingxi explained.

Gu Mingbei opened the diced bamboo shoots and took a sip, then said, "This must be whip bamboo shoots, they are too tender."

"What are whip shoots?" Lin Lu asked curiously.

"It's the bamboo shoots that grow on the tip of the bamboo whip. It's more delicious than ordinary bamboo shoots." Gu Mingxi laughed.

When Lin Lu heard this, she ate more attentively, and felt that it was indeed more delicious.

"Sister, I'll send a can to Xuanxuan." Gu Mingbei stood up and said.

"Go ahead, do you want to bring more." Gu Mingxi knew that Gu Mingbei sent more every time, just so that they could distribute it to the classmates around him.

"Enough, too much, Xuanxuan will definitely not accept."

Because of this, when someone slandered Gu Mingxi last time, most people didn't believe it.

Gu Mingbei chose a small bottle of diced bamboo shoot meat sauce, and a small bottle of dried wild vegetable sauce, and quickly opened the door and went out.

The campus of Peking University is huge, and Gu Mingbei walked quickly, and soon arrived at another dormitory building. This is the dormitory of the teachers of Peking University, and most of the people living there are teachers or their family members.

Before Wu Xuanxuan returned to Beijing with Wu Wei and his wife, but did not enroll directly, Gu Mingbei and the two were very worried about not being able to find any news, and they were not relieved until they received Wu Xuanxuan's letter.

Wu Xuanxuan didn't mention what happened to her or why she didn't come to school, she only said that she was in poor health and had to rest for a while.

There was nothing Gu Mingbei could do in a hurry, he just waited patiently.

Who knew that when school started this year, Gu Mingbei saw a big surprise.

"Xuanxuan, are you home?" Gu Mingbei shouted.

Now Wu Xuanxuan lives with Wu Wei and his wife in the family building of Peking University. Gu Mingbei also knows that Wu Wei and his wife have returned to school and become teachers of different colleges.

"Xiao Bei." Wu Xuanxuan heard her voice and quickly opened the door.

"My elder brother sent home-made meat sauce, I'll bring some for you to taste." Gu Mingbei smiled and lifted the jar in his hand.

When Wu Xuanxuan saw it, she immediately became happy: "That's great, I was thinking about that bite."

Pulling Gu Mingbei into the house, Wu Xuanxuan quickly brought out a box of snacks: "Try this too, it's very sweet."

But I took a chopstick and took a spoonful of diced bamboo shoots and meat sauce and ate it: "Well, it's delicious."

She was reluctant to eat more, put away the rest, and planned to eat together when her parents came home.

"Xiaobei, why don't you eat it." Seeing that she didn't move, Wu Xuanxuan simply gave her all the pastries, "You can take them home and share with Miss Xiaoxi, I still have some here."

"What's so funny..."

"What's the matter with embarrassment, I'm not being polite to you. Brother Adong sent so much meat sauce, which is much more expensive than dim sum."

"Hey, I came here and brought some snacks back."

"Xiaobei, why don't you stay a little longer and have dinner with us."

"My sister is still waiting for me to eat together."

Wu Xuanxuan didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Then when I get better, I'll go and play with you."

Seeing that her face was still a little pale, Gu Mingbei asked again: "Xuanxuan, take good care of your health. When your health recovers, we will become classmates."

Wu Xuanxuan agreed with a smile.

But as soon as Gu Mingbei left, the smile on Wu Xuanxuan's face disappeared, and she sighed slightly.

When the family of three returned to Beijing in a hurry, everything went smoothly. Wu Mengting took away the notice, but it was not easy to impersonate her, let alone Wu Xuanxuan had already returned.

Unexpectedly, Wu Mengting never came to Beijing University, she disappeared!

Wu Wei felt something was wrong, but Zhou Zijin thought it was a good thing. She didn't care where Wu Mengting died, as long as it didn't affect her daughter's future.

Just when the three of them thought that this matter was over, Wu Xuanxuan suddenly fell ill.

Wu Xuanxuan did not lie to her good friend. She was indeed ill at that time, but it was very strange...

During that time, Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin were busy taking care of their daughter, seeking medical treatment everywhere, even the school was negligent, which made Gu Mingbei and the others unable to contact anyone for a while.

It wasn't until Wu Xuanxuan got better that she wrote to them.

Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin both returned to school, and the school agreed to let her enroll in a year later, but Wu Xuanxuan felt very uneasy in her heart.

She had thought that after staying away from Shanghe Village and returning to the place where she grew up, her parents had been rehabilitated, and no one would hurt them again, so she would feel at ease, but the fact was just the opposite.
