Chapter 785 Delicious Food at Home
This was the first batch of rice she planted on this saline-alkali land. She planted them with her own hands and had to harvest them with her own hands.
At night, I went to the cave alone to take a look. There were no traces of food being transported around, and it was impossible to see them without careful observation.
"who?!"
Just as she was about to move the stone away, she heard two angry roars behind her.
Turning around, I saw two big men rushing up with swords.
She quickly said, "It's me."
"It's you?" A big man was puzzled. He walked closer and lit a fire stick to take a look. Seeing that it was Zhou Guo, he was shocked and said, "Boss, why are you here?"
Zhou Guo said, "Let me take a look at the grain cave."
The big man on the left said, "Boss, shall I go and call a few brothers to open this stone door?"
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "No need, you guys go down and guard the intersection, I'll just watch from outside and won't go in."
The two went down.
She waited until the two men left, moved the big stone away, and went in.
There is also an iron door installed in the cave on this side. I opened the door and went in to take a look. Wow, the grain harvested this year is almost three times more than last year.
They were neatly stacked and covered with thick cowhide oilcloth.
He found a few places, pulled out a dagger, dug a small hole, and pulled out a few grains of food. Every grain was dry and plump wheat grain, the best food.
She hovered in the cave for half an hour.
Sitting cross-legged at the gate, he quietly looked at the food in the cave in front of him.
After earning a lot of money over the past few years, the family now has a lot of money, but to be honest, it is not as stable as the food in these caves.
No matter how much money you have, it’s all virtual. Only these are real.
She sat there for half the night. The sky outside gradually brightened and the rays of light came in from the cave entrance, illuminating the entire cave.
He blocked the entrance of the cave with stones as usual and decorated the entrance so that it looked almost the same as last night, then turned around and left.
After having breakfast and strolling around another county, she went home. In total, she hadn't been home for more than a month. She had been away for more than a month while collecting grain.
The whole family was very happy to see her back.
Li said, "We figured you would be back soon, so we made some delicious food so you can have it."
Zhou Guo smiled and asked, "What's delicious?"
Zhou Su said: "Mother spent a lot of money to buy a lot of shrimp, abalone, scallops, all of which are top-quality seafood."
Zhou Guo was surprised and asked, "Mom, you are willing to spend this money?"
Since these seafood products have always been expensive, the money for buying one pound is enough to buy food for a family for a month. In the past, the owners of major restaurants would give them away, but now no one gives them away, so she has never been willing to buy them.
I only buy some to try during the Chinese New Year every year. What happened today?
Li said, "Sir, you are right. We don't need that now. We should cook all the delicious food for you to try. You can learn more. Otherwise, you have worked hard to earn so much money. If you don't spend it when you are alive, you can't take it with you when you die. Even if you go to a rich family as a guest in the future, you won't make a fool of yourself."
What's more, the child works so hard, it's normal for him to want to eat something good. We're almost tired of eating chicken, duck, fish, meat, beef and mutton at home over the years, it's time to try something new.
Zhou Guo sat down next to the old man and said, "Master, how come my mother suddenly came to her senses? I advised her the same way before."
The old man shook his head. "How would I know? She figured it out herself after I said that."
At this moment, Zhou Mai and the others had also finished their homework, and when they heard Zhou Guo coming back, they all came out.
The meal was served quickly and the family sat in the yard.
Lanterns were hung around the yard and lamps were lit. The small yard was brightly lit and you could even see a strand of ginger in the dish.
Li asked, "Is everything ready over there?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Gu and said, "Brother, I'll go to your account book later. Have you collected everything?"
Zhou Gu said: "Okay, I've packed everything and put it in the box. I'm just waiting for you to come back."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of abalone and ate it. It was so delicious!
Zhou Guo asked again: "Do you know how much grain Yunzhou and Chengding harvested this year? Have you calculated the accounts?"
Zhou Gu was stunned while chewing abalone. The whole family looked at him. They didn’t know how much grain they had harvested this year.
But Zhou Gu shook his head and said vaguely with the abalone in his mouth: "I don't know, I didn't count, there are too many, how can I count them all, I'm waiting for you to come back and count them."
He was only responsible for collecting the grain in the account book. He just had to draw a circle around each family. As for the accounting, he was really not good at it.
Zhou Mai and the others looked at Zhou Guo. They were no longer surprised by Zhou Gu. He was good at doing things, but it was really difficult for him to do these things.
Zhou Guo sighed, looked at Wu Ya and Xiaohua who was eating happily beside him, and thought it would be better to talk about it in private.
The account book is in my hand, so why don’t I take a look at it and do the math?
He is the eldest son and grandson of the family. He is not as good at studying as his younger brothers, and he can't even do the math when it comes to managing the family business.
A large shrimp suddenly appeared in the bowl, "Eat it, this is your favorite."
Looking up, the old man picked up another scallop for her, "I remember you like this too, the head of the Zhou family, eat more."
After she said that, everyone at the table started to pick up food for her. Even the youngest Xiaohua pointed at Zhou Guo's plate and signaled her mother to pick up food for her.
Zhou Guo smiled, touched her chin, and said, "Our Xiaohua is going to pick up some food for Auntie, right?"
Xiaohua grinned and smiled foolishly.
Everyone laughed.
After Zhou Gu picked up a few pieces for Zhou Guo, he picked up some for Wu Ya.
Wu Ya looked at Zhou Gu happily, her face as beautiful as a flower.
In fact, she thinks her husband is a good person. Although he is not as smart as her brothers and sisters, he is down-to-earth, good to her and the children, and always thinks about them. That is enough. How can a person ask for too much in his life? Isn't that too greedy?
Zhou Guo looked at the affectionate scene between the couple and thought it was pretty good. If they couldn’t calculate, then they didn’t. Sometimes being too smart and insightful is not a good thing.
She peeled a shrimp herself, but the braised shrimp made from dried shrimp was not as delicious as fresh shrimp. When the world is at peace, she will definitely live by the sea, catch some seafood, and eat some prawns, crabs, lobsters, and sea fish.
The family finished their meal in a lively atmosphere, and then sat in the yard for a while, enjoying the cool breeze and drinking a bowl of sweet iced mung bean paste. The day was comfortable and beautiful.
After everyone fell asleep, Zhou Guo sat at the desk, took out the account book, and checked the accounts one by one.
Before Li went to sleep again, she lit six lamps in her room. Seeing the large boxes beside the table, she said, "There are so many. Even ten nights won't be enough to count them all. Let's just count them tomorrow. Anyway, there's no rush."
Zhou Guo flipped through the first account book and said without raising his head, "It's okay. I'm not sleepy now anyway. I have to read a book even if I don't look at the account book. It's a good thing to calculate this thing early."
