Chapter 42
Xu Xinlan pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Yingying, you don't even look at it, the only ones cooking in the stove today are you and me. When we finish our work and go back, it will be midnight. Why don't you wait for me?" Uncle and his family have harvested rice, I have time to go with you to have a look."

"Alright."

After saying this, Gu Yingying suddenly felt that the big gift should be given to Sister Xinlan.In any case, when the cakes were made for Sister Xinlan, and Xu Shibo sent them to Aunt Xiu's son, it was just to help Sister Xinlan, not to get anything from others.

So after returning home at night, Gu Yingying poured out a few cups of ginger tea from the thermos and gave some to each of the family members.

Then put some hot water in the thermos bottle and put it on the table.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Yingying put it in a pannier and carried it to Xu Xinlan's doorstep.

Xu Xinlan stood at the gate and helped Gu Yingying take off the pannier. When she saw the wooden barrel inside, she understood what was going on.

Leaning at Gu Yingying in embarrassment, Xu Xinlan asked:
"Which one are you singing about? Isn't this thermos bottle the last time you went to the merchant ship at the port, saw it, wanted to buy it, but didn't buy it? It doesn't work, you want to return it, or ..."

Gu Yingying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and really wanted to ask Sister Xinlan:
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to bring you something from the person you have a crush on?

Seeing the embarrassment in Gu Yingying's eyes, Xu Xinlan imagined in her mind that Xu Yingying's sister thought that the glass bottles used to make thermos bottles were too expensive, so she was embarrassed to accept them.

"If you don't speak, it means that this object is useful, but it's not easy for you to keep it?"

Gu Yingying nodded, "This time, you are right."

"What's right and wrong?" Xu Xinlan couldn't figure it out, sister Yingying had seen this bottle herself, and she liked it.Brother Xun also made a thermos according to the method taught by his father.

Father had never seen this object before, and of course he only learned about it after listening to sister Yingying.

Objects are fine, so the problem should lie with people.

Xu Xinlan thought she had guessed Gu Yingying's thoughts, she carefully helped Gu Yingying put her back on her back, and said:
"You made so many cakes and candied haws for my elder brother Xun. He suffered from a strange disease, and after eating it, he recovered miraculously. It was Aunt Xiu who told my father, You have helped their mother and child a lot, this is a small gift, please accept it."

After hearing this, Gu Yingying said truthfully:
"I remember I told you once that the cakes I made for brother Xun were actually all powdered."

She had been to Moxiang before, and she told Sister Xinlan and the others that she had heard about it.He only said that he wanted to go there to rent a house and sell food, but he couldn't say it directly. He wanted to help sister Xinlan visit that person, so that he could know what was going on with that person, so that he could dispense medicine to him.

After the man got a strange disease, it is said that he also went to the pharmacy on the other side of West Street, saw several famous doctors, and took the medicine prescribed by one of the doctors.But unfortunately, after taking the medicine, he did not recover.

After hearing from Sister Xinlan that the man had recovered, Gu Yingying was also very happy.As long as it can help sister Xinlan and the others, that's fine.

Xu Xinlan snickered and said:

"My father has already guessed about the fact that you added the medicine powder."

Once my father went to Fucheng, and after sending cakes and candied haws to brother Xun, he came back and said to mother:

"It's strange to say that Xun'er's mother also made pastries, and even went to the street to buy candied haws for him to eat. But he said, it's not delicious. He said that as long as I sent it, he didn't want anything else. I I suspect that it’s not that the cakes are not tasty, or that the candied haws are not sweet enough, it should be that Ying’er added Chinese medicine powder into it…”

Niang thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "I think it's the same."

There was laughter again from the intersection, and Xu Xinlan knew that it was some folks who rushed to the uncle's house to help with the work.

Quickly urged:
"Hurry up, Sister Yingying, come with me to the uncle's house, otherwise all the villagers will arrive in a while, and the rice hasn't been cooked yet."

After Gu Yingying heard this, she had no choice but to stop talking, and rushed to Xu Tai's house with Xu Xinlan with her back on her back.

I saw several folks already sitting in the main room, some drinking tea, some eating melon seeds, some chatting.

Only Mrs. Fan stood at the gate, and as soon as she and Sister Xinlan rushed over, she smiled and welcomed them into the main room.Still handed them tea and food before taking them to the kitchen.

Gu Yingying had no choice but to take off the back basket and put it next to the wooden table in the stove.

Fan glanced at the wooden barrel, smiled and asked:

"If I'm not mistaken, this must be the thermos that Dalang mentioned to us, Qiaoxiu's son, entrusted him to bring back? This is a priceless treasure, and it can't just be placed like this."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pick up the pannier, and said to Gu Yingying:

"I'll put it in my room for you, it's more or less safe."

"Put it here, can't you put some tea for drinking?" Gu Yingying didn't think it was necessary, anyway, in the stove house, once Fan's left here, there would be only her and sister Xinlan.

As long as they don't touch the back basket, they should be fine.

But Fan didn't listen to the persuasion, took the pannier away, and moved it to Gu Yingying's room.

Gu Yingying and Xu Xinlan were busy cooking and cooking, so they didn't have time to take care of the thermos.

Xu Tai's family was well prepared. Early in the morning, there would be firewood burning in the stove, even if it was a few, it would be better than none at all.

Just add some dry firewood in it, and it will burn very vigorously.

Xu Xinlan was in charge of adding firewood, and Gu Yingying washed, chopped vegetables, chopped meat, and stir-fried vegetables by herself.

Stewed radish with lamb chops in a casserole, fried shredded pork with celery and fungus, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried shrimp with cucumber, fried pork slices with mushrooms and other dishes, Gu Yingying only took more than half an hour to prepare all of them.

The smell of meat in the stove made Gu Yingying feel hungry for a long time after smelling it, and wanted to eat very much.

While rushing out to serve dishes with Sister Xinlan, she was thinking in her heart:

There is not much new furniture in the old house, and there are no antiques in the house.The dishes that have been brought out to entertain the folks in the past two days are all good dishes.

I don't know if they want to eat meat in the future after they have finished their busy work for the past few days?
After bringing the food to the cubicle, Gu Yingying also sat down to eat after more than a dozen dishes were placed.

Today, Xu Xinlan was still sitting beside her.

She was eating food, but Xu Xinlan still made some for her from time to time.She asked Xu Xinlan to eat more by herself, don't just help her.

The voices of several folks came to my ears:

"Gu Xiaoya'er cooks different dishes these days, and every dish is delicious. Heh, Lao Lizheng and the others invited her to cook, so they invited the right person."

"That's right, let's all enjoy the blessings and eat more good things."

"How about you lead a thread and introduce Gu Xiaoyaer to your nephew. When she marries into your family, you will have delicious food every day..."

After listening to the words full of irony, Gu Yingying couldn't help but look up at Mrs. Dong who said this, and said: "Fellows in the village, don't hurt people with bad words all the time. I didn't eat your rice, and I didn't wear your clothes. Can Jiayi hinder you?"
