The two elders of the Su family planted a lot of vegetarian vegetables in the yard. Su Qizhen took the copper plate to cut two kilograms of meat. Su Yixin specifically asked Su Qizhen to buy some pigs and bring them back.
When Su Qizhen heard that the pig was in the water, his face was filled with disgust.
But when he thought of the female ghost last time, he felt so disgusted that he didn't dare to say anything.
Su Qizhen was walking on the road, feeling extremely depressed.
It's obvious that he, a girl who is not a biological relative, is very timid. Last year, even if her parents were protecting her, she would still be afraid of his eldest brother.
it's good now.
She glared at him at every turn.
Judging from that posture, he could drag a female ghost out at any time.
He is afraid.
The butcher's house was not far away, and Su Qizhen soon bought the meat and two ribs.
The pig went into the water and carried a whole bucket.
Su Qizhen pinched his nose and said, "I just said this thing stinks. Why do you need this thing? It cost five copper coins."
According to his wishes, this thing was given to him for free, and he felt it was dirty.
Su Yixin was too lazy to talk nonsense with Su Qizhen and took the bucket to prepare the pig waste. Gu Qingjue took the bucket and said very naturally: "I'll do it."
"Do you know?"
Gu Qingjue nodded.
It's not that complicated to deal with this thing. You'll be able to do it once you've seen it.
Gu Qingjue was willing to do it, so Su Yixin let him go and prepared other ingredients by herself.
Su Qizhen lifted up his robe, squatted next to Gu Qingjue, and watched as Gu Qingjue rolled up his navy blue and silver-white circular moire pattern robe very skillfully, and then rolled up the dark blue and silver-white circular moire pattern Su Yixin had given him. The red-breasted man rolled up his sleeves carefully, then bent down and began to handle the bloody and smelly pig waste.
Su Qizhen looked at Gu Qingjue from joking at first, to surprise, and finally to shock.
There was no trace of reluctance in his expression.
Sometimes he would raise his head to look at Su Yixin. Seeing Su Yixin looking over, with a smile on his lips, he would continue to deal with the things in his hands.
Su Qizhen was sure that Gu Qingjue was enjoying the process.
"Brother-in-law, you are a seven-foot-tall man, don't you feel ashamed to do this here?"
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Don't you need to eat, brother?"
"Look what you said."
Su Qizhen said: "Who can afford not to eat? It's better to let women do the cooking. How can we men cook? A gentleman cooks far away, as Mencius said."
Gu Qingjue's brows moved slightly, he looked deeply at Su Qizhen, and then said: "Brother, it is true that this sentence comes from "Mencius", but the original text of this sentence is: There is no harm, it is the art of benevolence. Also, when you see cattle, you don’t see sheep. A gentleman is like an animal: when he sees it alive, he can’t bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he can’t bear to eat its meat. This is why a gentleman is far away from the kitchen."
"Yes, the gentleman is far away from the chef, I was right!"
Su Qizhen blinked, wondering what Gu Qingjue meant.
Gu Qingjue opened his mouth: "The meaning of this sentence is that when a gentleman sees an animal that is about to be slaughtered and sees it alive, he can't bear to see it die, can't bear to hear its screams and cries before it dies, and can't bear to eat it. Meat. So, stay far away so you can’t hear it!”
Su Qizhen: "..."
He understood it, so he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell.
Even when Gu Qingjue was talking to Su Qizhen, he didn't stop moving his hands. He poured a bucket of pig into the water and cleaned it in half an hour.
Su Yixin also put aside the vegetables that needed to be picked, the meat that needed to be cut, and the blanching of ribs.
After Gu Qingjue brought the cleaned pig meat into the pot, he put it in the pot on the inside, put down the large bag of ingredients he took out of the storage bag, and started cooking other dishes.
The two elders of the Su family were already sitting in the lobby at some point, looking at Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue who were busy in the kitchen hall from a distance, smiling with relief.
"Brother Jue is really good. Girl Xin is so lucky."
Su's father nodded, as if he thought of something again, the smile on his face faded a little, and he said to Su's mother: "Brother Jue is now a candidate for imperial examination, and he will definitely go to Kaifeng Mansion to take part in the examination in the future. If he wins, he will be a Jinshi. I wonder if Brother Jue will dislike Girl Xin’s identity in the future.”
Speaking of this, Mother Su also started to worry.
Just after noon, Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue came to the main hall carrying dishes.
Su Qizhen had already become greedy because of the scent. The scent was no worse than the one in the town's restaurant, and even more greedy.
Even Su's father and mother Su stared at the dishes on the table and didn't come back to their senses for a while.
"Dad, Mom, this food needs to be eaten while it's hot."
"Eh."
Father Su picked up his chopsticks and added a piece of braised pork ribs first.
The ribs are so tender and tasty that even a guy with bad teeth can still eat them.
"Girl, it's delicious. The old god is really powerful. Why don't you draw a portrait of the old god later? Father, I'll pay my respects. I'll bless you, this unsatisfactory brother."
Su Yixin wore a fake smile mask.
He thought to himself: Dad, can we not mention this old god thing?
Su Qizhen didn't feel too embarrassed when his name was called. His life was full of ups and downs. When he was prosperous, he was well-known in Yuyuan Town. When he returned to Lianhua Village, no one greeted him with a smile.
Even though he opened a red building, some people couldn't stand it, but he made money.
After a few years of glory, he was now in decline. At his worst moment, he sneaked into the house of Mr. Liu, who had just become an official, to steal some food.
Unexpectedly, he was found out the next day, thrown out by the male and female eldest son of the Liu family, and beaten half to death.
It was the day I was beaten last time.
Therefore, Su Qizhen's mentality is quite resistant.
"Dad, eat first."
Su's father was so angry that he almost blew his beard. If he hadn't seen his son-in-law still there, he would have pulled up the bench under his buttocks and screamed.
The meal was quite harmonious.
After eating, Su Yixin and Su's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together. Gu Qingjue took Su Qizhen to Zhou Shenggu's house across the door to borrow some tools and nail the damaged doors and windows as best they could.
The kitchen hall was busy, Su Yixin took out the glass mirror and simply set up a defensive array for the house.
In this way, it can be regarded as a layer of protection in terms of safety.
In another month, the weather will be cold.
There was draft everywhere in the house, and there was nothing to keep out the cold. How could the two elders survive the winter?
Before leaving, Su Yixin left another thirty taels of silver to the two elders, and told Su Qizhen to repair the areas that still needed repairing in the house and buy what needed to be purchased.
"Brother, I still say the same thing. If you dare to gamble again, that ghost is not just scaring you. I will let her find you at night... Think about it, you slept well at night, and suddenly A female ghost is floating next to your bed, her mouth wide open, you..."
"Stop, stop talking."
Su Qizhen rubbed his arms, and was frightened into a cold sweat by Su Yixin in broad daylight: "If I go gambling again, I will call you ancestor and let God strike me with thunder, let's do it!"
