The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 453: Snow-boiled Lamb in Suzhou

It seldom snows in Suzhou, but it has fallen this year, and it has fallen quite heavily, making it possible to build a snowman.

Northerners are accustomed to snow, just like seeing rain in summer, there is nothing unusual about it.

Southerners, on the other hand, were overjoyed to see the snow, and said that it was winter.

Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, Gu Yi thought of Hohhot. When it snowed in Hohhot, the first thing he thought of was mutton and shochu. What to do?Continue to boil mutton and drink soju, and sleep if you drink too much.

It seems that I haven't boiled mutton for a long time, and I have forgotten what it tastes like.

Gu Yi wanted to boil mutton, so he asked his wife, Sister Wang, if she wanted to eat it.Sister Wang said to eat, there is a hot pot at home, just go out and buy some meat and vegetables.

Since they got married, the two of them have lived a sweet and happy life, and they are a typical husband and wife.Sister Wang lost the ability and overbearingness she had when she was a judge, and became a gentle and virtuous little woman who didn't think about anything and listened to Gu Yi in everything, and sometimes she was lazy like a baby.

Gu Yi enjoyed the life of this kind of big man very much, lived a nourishing life, and even felt young, like a boy.

Of course, this is inseparable from Sister Wang's meticulous, thoughtful and enthusiastic service.

A woman's first client is always her man.

A smart woman understands her husband's mood, meets her husband's needs, and improves the quality of service to her husband.What I got was the attachment and love of my husband.A stupid woman ridicules her husband's incompetence, laughs at her husband's incompetence, improves her own needs and status all the time, and finally loses it forever.

The two of them were going out to buy meat and vegetables, and Sister Wang dressed up first.

"You don't need to dress up when you buy vegetables." Gu Yi stood behind Sister Wang and said, his eyes were full of smiles.

"You are so handsome, can I not dress up?" Sister Wang said looking at her husband in the mirror.

"Am I handsome? Why do I feel a bit like a silly boy?"

"Just put money on your face, you are not that young."

"You look like a little girl."

"I love hearing that."

Gu Yi looked at his wife's hair which was gradually growing to cover her neck and said, "You still look good with long hair."

"Isn't it necessary for work in the past? I kept short hair for more than [-] years. Now I grow it longer and enjoy the feeling of being a girl. The long hair is fluttering." Sister Wang giggled after speaking, her voice was clear like a little girl .

Gu Yi was attracted by his wife, and couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged her from behind.

Sister Wang stopped the movements of her hands, leaned her back into Gu Yi's arms, felt her husband's warmth, and closed her eyes happily.

Gu Yi smelled the aroma of his wife's hair and was a little intoxicated.

The couple enjoys a wonderful moment of tenderness ---
After a while, Sister Wang took Gu Yi's restless hand away from his chest, and said angrily, "Don't you want to eat hot pot?"

"No, I'll eat you first." Gu Yi said recklessly.

"I save it for dinner at night, and eat hot pot first."

Gu Yi reluctantly let go of his wife.

Released, the surging enthusiasm and evil fire in the stomach gradually subsided.He said: "It's no fun just the two of us eating. It's good if Lao Tan is here. When it snows in Hohhot, we can cook the pot for a whole day. When the snow stops, we will finish the job."

"Brother Tan is not here, why don't you call Qiao Gang, I heard from Qiao Shan that she came back from Hong Kong." Sister Wang said.

Gu Yi thought for a while and said: "He doesn't like to eat mutton, so give us back."

"Don't call Li Shuang and his wife here again."

"Don't bark, I can't drink Li Shuang, besides, Xiao Gao drinks like a gourd, it's uncomfortable to watch."

"Hehe, who do you want to accompany you?" Sister Wang became the elder sister who loves her younger brother at this time, and asked caringly.

"I'm not looking for anyone, just the two of us." Gu Yi said.

"If you don't call Erdun here again, you two can have a drink together." Sister Wang said.

Gu Yi's eyes lit up. Indeed, Erdun is suitable. Not only can he drink together, but when he comes, someone will adjust the seasoning. The Erdun Mongolian people grew up eating boiled mutton, and the seasoning is fine.

"Well, he's fine, I'll call him."

When Erdun heard about the boiled mutton, he happily agreed. He was afraid that Gu Yi could not buy the mutton, so he went to buy it, and brought the wild leek flowers sent by his hometown.

Sister Wang felt that there were not many people coming from Erdun alone, so she asked Guyi to call Yaru too.She and Yaru have different tempers, Yaru is virtuous and quiet, kind-hearted, she likes it.

She is now a legitimate proprietress, and when she goes to the store with Gu Yi, most of the employees in the store are familiar with her.She doesn't care about business and management matters, but she treats employees very well.

She takes special care of the five disabled employees including Zhao Min, and always solves their difficulties in life in a timely manner. This makes people like, get close to, and admire her with admiration.

The couple went out of the house, and the snow was still falling.

This is a large-scale snowfall covering Northeast China, North China, Central China, and Northeast Inner Mongolia. It started on the afternoon of December 25th and moved from north to south.

It has been snowing all day and night in the northeast, most highways are closed and planes are grounded.The heavy snow not only caused traffic inconvenience, but also caused the collapse of vegetable greenhouses, large areas of cattle and sheep froze to death in pastoral areas, and direct economic losses amounted to hundreds of millions of yuan.

The snow has weakened a lot in the south of the Yangtze River. It caused disasters in the north, but it has become a beautiful scenery that has not been seen for many years.

Not far from the community is a fresh food supermarket. The two walked in the snow, it seemed that they were not shopping for vegetables, but admiring the snow scenery.

"It hasn't snowed this much for many years." Sister Wang said with emotion.

"It falls every year in the Northeast, and it is bigger than this. The snow in the Northeast is always light snow." Gu Yi said.

"What else did Northeast say?"

"I will take you to the Northeast this Chinese New Year."

"No, it's too cold, I'm afraid of freezing."

"In fact, the temperature in the Northeast is low. There is heating in the house and it is not cold at all. They wear vests and shorts. Unlike ours where there is no heating, the house is cold and cold, and it is impossible to stay without the air conditioner. To be warm, it must be in the Northeast, especially in rural areas. , Once the small fire kang is fired, the earth heating will last for a lifetime, and the room will be very warm." Gu Yi said.

Sister Wang was moved and said, "I haven't slept on the kang yet."

"Let me tell you that the heated kang is getting better, it is comfortable to sleep on, especially for people with bad backs, sleeping for two winters is better than taking medicine."

"Just blow it."

"It's really not bragging. Do you know why we men in Northeast China are so fierce? They just slept on the heated kang since childhood. Their waists are good and their kidneys are not weak. What are you doing?"

"Go, it's getting more and more boundless."

The couple went to the supermarket to buy green vegetables and some small seafood, and after walking around for a while, they felt that they had nothing to buy and went home.

At six o'clock in the evening, the hot pot starts on time.

Yaru didn't know that Erdun was there, so she probably wouldn't come if she knew.

Everyone likes a good woman, especially Yaru.

Erdun liked Yaru, and expressed that meaning more or less, but Yaru politely and calmly rejected them all.One expresses it secretly, the other silently refuses, and there is an unknown embarrassment between the two.

Erdun also felt Yaru's embarrassment and discomfort, and he didn't know that Yaru would come.But he was secretly happy, although he knew that Yaru didn't like him, but he was still very happy to be able to enjoy hot pot with the woman he liked.

Because of the joy, when he was excited, the Mongolian man showed his boldness and sang three beautiful grassland songs, and the other three people applauded continuously.

After Erdun sang, Gu Yi suddenly said: "If Lao Tan is here, it will be even more lively."
