Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 30 Earth Ritual
Gu Xiang removed three catties of lamb chops, and hung the rest of the lamb in the well.

According to her own thinking, there are quite a lot of people in the Gu family, and the whole half of the mutton can be eaten.

However, Jiang Shi was watching, but she was not allowed to be so prodigal.

Blanch the lamb chops, remove the fishy smell from the rice wine, fry both sides until golden, and then put the big ingredients in a casserole and simmer slowly over low heat.

While stewing the lamb chops, Gu Xiang quickly pulled out the thin noodles—it is said that she knew how to make ramen before, but she couldn’t do it so well. For some reason, she has been practicing various basic embroidery skills in the past few days. I don't know how many threads have been split, and how much the embroidery ability has improved is not yet visible. Anyway, the embroidered things can only be regarded as cute at best, but the ramen skills have inexplicably improved a lot.

"Maybe I should learn to paint?"

If the mutton soup is not well prepared, it will easily produce fishy smell, but in this season, no matter how strong the fishy smell is, for ordinary people, mutton is also a first-class delicacy.

The mutton soup cooked by Gu Xiang's men is even more mellow and delicious.

"Look at my third wife, they are all granddaughters of the family. With the same raising method, they can earn so much money for the family. Then look at you, what kind of madness is going on when you are doing well!"

Mrs. Zhang swallowed her saliva when she heard the aroma coming from across the yard.

Gu Erniang was a little dazed, she had a dream a while ago, although it was intermittent and fragmented, but she had it for several days in a row, so that it was difficult for her to tell whether it was real or an illusion.

In the dream, Gu Xiang was married to Li Zijun next door, and then died of illness for some reason. After a few years, Li Zijun found her, and somehow he mistook her for Gu Xiang.

The expression on Gu Run's face was somewhat complicated.

In the first few years of being "Gu Xiang", her life was like a dream, and she enjoyed the ultimate enjoyment in the world. Li Zijun was not good to the real Gu Xiang, but he held it in his hand for fear of falling. Fear of melting in the mouth, extremely pampered, envied by the world.

She had lived like a noble lady for several years, and many people rushed to send her money and gifts. Later, she faintly realized that she could enjoy such benefits because they thought she was Gu Xiang.

Unfortunately, that woman Wang Pingping is really powerful.

She only remembered that she had suffered a lot at the hands of Wang Pingping and her later man, and she didn't know the details, but when she thought about it now, she felt chills in her heart.

When Gu Runmeng woke up, she went back to her 16 years old. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Before she could think about the future, she suddenly realized that everything in front of her was not right.

Instead of being engaged to Li Zijun, Gu Xiang didn't become Gu Zhuang's well-known virtuous daughter-in-law. Instead, she went to... the brave army and became a cook!

The brave army has no way to survive for a few months, and the whole army has been exposed to the public for treason.

She was suddenly anxious, if everything changed, would she still have the chance to go to Beijing to enjoy the riches and glory?

More importantly, if things change from the beginning, what will happen to her future?Could she still be so lucky to be alive?
No, no!

She dared not take risks, nor could she.

She is just a weak woman, unable to resist the rioters, unable to withstand the turmoil, so she can only follow the path of life pointed out by fate, and she can't make a single mistake.

Gu Run stared blankly at the spiders climbing on the wall.

As long as she doesn't swell enough to provoke Wang Pingping in the end, then she will have the best future she can imagine.

At this time, Gu Xiang's family has already served dinner.

Gu Laoshi first filled out the most tender lamb chops, soft and delicious fish balls, and vegetarian balls, filled a big bowl, and sent them to his parents before going home to eat.

Mutton is indeed a good food for the nobles, it is so delicious!
The old man took a bite, looked at the old lady who was eating the same tooth, and said with a smile: "In the past, you thought he was honest and stupid, and you thought he loved my daughter too much. I said that I have such a worry-free son. It's time to be happy, you still don't believe it, how about it, now you know the benefits of having an honest son and daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly: "Eat your meal, where is there so much nonsense!"

The old man and the old couple were bickering lively, and Gu Laoshi's family was also happy.

Gu Hai sat down next to Gu Xiang, grabbed a piece of tender ribs and gnawed hard, his eyes sparkled as he gnawed, turned his head to look at his sister, and said vaguely: "Sister, how are you doing in the brave army?" ? Aren’t the soldiers very dignified?”

He looked envious.

A child who is only ten years old doesn't know that nowadays it is said that a good man should not be a soldier. He only knows that a soldier can hold a knife and a gun, and he doesn't need to study, so he yearns for it in his heart.

Gu Xiang blinked, and said solemnly: "It's quite majestic. Soldiers go to repair the river embankment every day. If you want to know how majestic they are, then go and help Dad to do some work on the river. .”

Gu Laoshi immediately coughed several times.

The third wife of their family has not been seen these days, but she seems to be much more lively.

"Oh my God!"

The three of them were chatting, when they heard a suppressed exclamation in the room, Gu Laoshi was taken aback, stood up and ran into the room, Gu Xiangshun copied the broom, took three steps at a time and overtook Gu Laoshi, and kicked him. Open the door: "Are there mice? Cockroaches?"

Jiang's face was pale, and she dragged the daughter and the man into the door, and slammed the door to shut the youngest son out.

"Auntie?"

Gu Wulang wiped the oil from his mouth, looking at the closed door with a blank face.

Jiang shi grabbed Gu Xiang's shoulder with all his strength, with a look of surprise on his face, "These, these..."

Speaking of her gaze, Gu Laoshi's face turned pale instantly.

The very ordinary gray wooden box was opened, and even under the slightly dim light in the room, the jewels and jewels were still dazzling.

Green jade bracelets, jade ring fingers, golden hairpin necklaces, pearls and agates piled like gravel.

Gu Xiang: "...a soil instrument from someone else."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang shi covered her head violently. If this is a soil instrument, then when she goes to her mother's house every year, what she brings with her is dung?
Perhaps this box was too expensive, but Gu Xiang only had a strange thought.

Could it be that the Duke came out to work overtime and brought his female relatives with him?

Otherwise, where did these things come from?

The family of three stared at the box of jewels, sweating profusely.

Gu Xiang sighed: "The nobleman's gift, since it is said to be an earthen ceremony, must be in the eyes of others, and if it is returned, it may make the nobleman unhappy."

Mrs. Jiang pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Forget it, San Niang, put it away so that no one will see it. When you get married in the future, these things may be able to save your life."

Gu Xiang responded softly.

The so-called money is not revealed, these things are too expensive, it is better for her to keep them herself.

This night, only Gu Xiang, Gu Hai and the two siblings had a good night's sleep, while Gu Laoshi and Jiang Shi didn't sleep well.

Not only their family, Gu Erniang next door, but also the neighbor Li's family were all in a turbulent state of mind and couldn't calm down.
