Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

141-145

So much meat!

Gu Qingyao laughed. “I made all this specially for you. Oh, my father is in a bad mood today and wants to have a drink to drown his sorrows. Have a drink with him later.”

Gu Jinlin: “…”

Drown his sorrows? This looked like a celebration!

Gu Jinlin was delighted and charmed by his lively and intelligent younger cousin. His attention was quickly drawn to the food on the table.

He had not eaten such nice things for a long time!

It was getting dark and it started to snow again. The north wind howled and everyone huddled in their houses. A bitterly cold wind was blowing outside. But the kitchen of the Gu house was bustling, and the flames shot towards the sky!

Gu Jinlin took a deep breath, breathing in the fragrance in the air. “Little sister, your cooking is so good. It smells wonderful. Is it ready yet?”

Chapter 142: A Sumptuous Dinner (1)

Gu Qingyao did not have any inhibitions today, so she did her best for every dish.

She steamed the sausages and they were still steaming hot when she brought them out. Gu Jinlin almost drooled when he saw them glistening with oil as she sliced them.

The bacon was stir-fried with potatoes and their delicious scent was alluring!

The dried fish was soaked in water, then cut up and braised in soy sauce. The dried chicken was also braised in soy sauce. It was so satisfying to eat spicy food in the depths of winter.

She minced the mutton chops before boiling them into mutton soup on the stove, then she added cabbage and vermicelli.

She had considered that the two older folks preferred bacon, so she made the bacon less spicy.

Then she fried an omelette and laid out a platter of shelled peanuts. Scallion pancakes formed their staple. There were many people today, so she made four pots of scallion pancakes.

She cut up the pancakes, placed them in a small basket, and put it on the table in the main room.

When the table was set, Gu Jinlin’s eyes almost fell out of his head. There was chicken, fish, meat, eggs, a big pot of mutton soup, and a plate of shelled peanuts.

Shelled peanuts were extremely rare. Even very important old people might not be able to obtain them.

In fact, the table was full of rare items.

Even the scallion pancakes. This was the first time in his life that Gu Jinlin was eating scallion pancakes that glistened with so much oil. He could not help but gulp.

Lastly, Gu Qingyao brought out a bottle of Maotai. Gu Jinlin’s eyes grew even wider.

Gu Qingyao said, “Have a seat! Let’s eat!”

There were six of them – Gu Conghua, Wen Ruyu, Gu Yunshen, Mo Beihan, Gu Jinlin and Gu Qingyao. It was a little crowded when they all sat at the little table.

The large bowl of steaming hot mutton soup was the most popular. Mutton was a heaty food, and it warmed them as they drank mutton soup on a snowy day like this.

The soup had lots of cabbage and vermicelli, and could be considered a vegetable dish.

With a table full of good food and wine, it was difficult to remain in a bad mood!

Everyone sat down and their chopsticks kept moving until at last, they ran out of scallion pancakes. But Gu Yunshen refused to allow Gu Qingyao to make anymore. It was already late at night. A mouthful more or less made no difference.
