Chapter 5 Slow down

Magistrate Wang sighed in his heart: The emperor’s rice is really not as delicious as this one!
He passed the Jinshi and ate imperial meals in the palace at the Qionglin banquet. Three years later, he remembered that he was almost choked to death by carp bones. He was so ashamed that he didn't dare to leave the house for half a month, so he couldn't remember what the rice was delicious.
His father and brother also often complained that in order to make the meals in the palace look good, most of them are steamed and cold, and they taste like chewy wax.
Gu Xiang looked up and picked up a few pancakes, cut them horizontally, and cut them vertically. He put them in the basket and handed them over and said with a smile: "Don't dislike them, fellow villagers. I have tried to make some pancakes today. Not much, I can only taste them for all uncles and aunts."
Who would dislike food? Anything that can be eaten is life-saving things. Gu Xiang doesn't speak, except for Brother Xiao Yi who is close to the Gu family, and who has the confidence to be able to get better. Others have no shame to ask for it. Now that Gu Xiang has spoken, he doesn't eat it, so he won't give face.
For a moment, swallowing sounds were heard everywhere on the embankment of Shouling River.
Magistrate Wang also had a thick face and divided a small piece. He chewed it carefully. The fresh and fragrant taste exploded on the tip of his tongue. In an instant, he felt that the sorrow of most half of the month had been relieved.
The small pancake, which is only one-third the size of a palm, is crispy and fluffy, layered, and is stained with the aroma of fish, but it is not soft and rotten after soaking in the soup. It is just fluffy and crispy.
Magistrate Wang was so moved that tears were about to shed.
What he had eaten before were really cooked cakes? Are they all poisons? He has not been poisoned to death over the years. He is really strong in vitality!
Magistrate Wang sighed for a while, his eyes flashed. The imperial court had just issued an order at the beginning of the month to ensure that workers could eat one dry meal and two porridge every day. The Duke also said that the officers and soldiers should eat together. Fortunately, the money and food of Yongyi Army could be delivered in time. If he could change to a good chef who could turn brown rice into delicacies, his life would still be able to live a good life.
There were indeed not many cakes. The diners felt sorry for each other and slowly dispersed back to do their work. They were walking back three times in one step, and they heard a scream coming from a distance.
Gu Xiang was also shocked. Everyone turned their heads together and saw a woman wearing a blue coarse cloth jacket and skirt on the hillside. She stumbled to the riverside without even hesitation and turned the river.
"Oh My God!"
Magistrate Wang was so scared that his head buzzed.
"It's A Zheng, this is sick again."
Everyone rushed to the river. Several laborers with good water skills got into the water and tried to save the woman. But whether they were afraid or eager to give up, the woman's limbs trembled and she pierced into the river. Not only did she not cooperate, but she almost involved those who saved her while struggling.
There was a swearing sound on the shore: "If you want to die, you won't die, stay away, why are you making trouble?"
Brother Xiao Yi sighed, "A Zheng is also pitiful. He married into the Mao family for eight years, served his parents-in-law and raised his children. As a result, Mao Chong fell in love with a kiln sister, and sold his property and left the family and ran away with the kiln sister. If it weren't for this, A Zheng wouldn't have had this crazy disease."
After a few words, the laborers who went into the water lost one after another.
A Zheng actually knows how to water, but she wants to die, so where can anyone save her?
Gu Xiang frowned, bent down, picked up a spoonful of fried fish balls, and smashed them hard at the bluestone not far away. The fish balls exploded instantly, and the juice overflowed, and the strong fragrance filled the momentum. The people around him felt that it was difficult to concentrate on the river surface, and they couldn't help but look back.
"A Zheng, come up quickly. I cook fish balls for you. If you don't eat them, it will be cold."
Gu Xiang suddenly opened his throat and shouted loudly.
She suddenly remembered the system mall's advertising of selling food - the delicious food that penetrates the soul, which can remind people of the beauty of life.
She wants to try it if it is useful or not.
The people didn't think that A Zheng, who was half crazy, could understand human words, but the fragrance was really fascinating.
Magistrate Wang's eyes showed a fierce light that was close to the "violent and evil" and stared at the steaming fish balls on the ground almost greedily.
After a moment, the laborer who had been drained from the water shouted: "A Zheng, A Zheng."
The woman in the river floated up silently, kicked her feet, spread her arms and swam to the shore. Several force workers pushed her up with all their strength.
A group of onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A Zheng staggered, coughed violently for a few times, and sprayed out the water. While crying, he squatted on the ground and picked up the fish balls that had already hit the stone. He ate them all. After eating, he stood up and cried, and cursed loudly: "My surname is Mao, I am not dead. Where can I eat it if I die... I want to see how you die!"
Everyone: "..."
A group of people came back to their senses in a dizzy mood. Gu Xiang had already retired and quickly returned home with his parents.
"I really want to know what the fish balls made by Gu's Sanniang tasted."
Diners are obsessed with it.
Magistrate Wang even started to think about it.
Gu Xiang knew that there were diners thinking about her. One night, the rate of food orders increased compared to the previous two days.
Gu Xiang was in a pretty good mood by exchanging the five newly added food spots for life.
[Countdown to life: 23 days, 4 hours, 21 minutes... 23 days, 8 hours, 20 minutes...]
【Name: Gu Xiang
Skills: Learn 3 (You are not an idiot) Cooking 1 (The food you cook is poisonous) Proficient in recipes: Popped fish balls (so delicious that it makes people bite their tongues)
Equipment: Snack Cart (normal)]
Gu Laoshi is in a good mood. His daughter has given him a few days. Since she received the reward from the county, her uncles and fellow villagers in the village have looked at him with a high opinion. Today, the meals her daughter cooked can even make people who are determined to die have abandoned their thoughts. It is really amazing.
"Wife, my uncle gave me two Suzhou cloth two years ago. The material was very thin, and your hands and feet were very thick, so it would be a waste to wear it. Why not give Sanniang a silk skirt?"
Jiang hummed: "Talk."
Having said that, Jiang still calculated the body of his daughter.
"Our Sanniang is so serious that she should cut out a few new clothes."
When Gu Laoshi mentioned this, he felt a little bored: "What do you think Sanniang is now? There are several families in the village who ask someone to say goodbye, all of whom are good young people."
His daughter is handsome and has good cooking skills. Now the matchmakers in the village want to cut off the threshold of their family, but he doesn't dare to respond to any of them for a while... How could he not know Sanniang's thoughts about the scholar next door?
Li Zijun must not be his son-in-law.
"If it really works, my third wife will not be able to be a cow for their family?"
Gu Laoshi's consciousness flashed, and his daughter couldn't help but appear in his mind that she married into the Li family. Before dawn, she carried a hoe to the ground. She had to wash and cook when she went home. She bent to serve the mother and the mother and eat, drink, and defecate. Her eyes became hot and tears flowed: "My poor daughter!"
Jiang: “…”
At dinner that night, Gu Laoshi glared at her while eating the soup cakes cooked by Gu Xiang, with a strange look on his face, as if he was crying but not crying.
Gu Xiang quickly lowered his head and tasted the soup cake. He blinked. It should be fine. Although it was a mixed noodles, it was much better than the serious fast food pastry... Has he eaten the system secret technique of fish balls and then ate ordinary food and couldn't swallow it?
I was slightly surprised and glanced at the system panel. Seeing that the food spots were not growing abnormally, Grandpa Gu and the others were also satisfied with their food. Gu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
The Gu family has just recovered from the days of hunger and fullness, so they should not evolve into a foodie immediately.
Gu Laoshi was a man who couldn't hide his words. He couldn't even bear a meal, so he looked at Gu Xiang's words indirectly, saying, "Wang Jiaerlang of Houhe Village does a very good job of carpenter work." Then, he said, "The tall boy at the east end of the village is a good hunter, but he is a little older and he is steady and knows how to love others."
Gu Xiang nodded.
Her own snack cart is not easy to take out, it is too conspicuous. If she uses wood to make a frame and disguise it, she may not have to cook secretly in the future, which will save a lot of trouble. I wonder if Wang Erlang's woodworking skills are really good.
These days she is also worried that she has no meat on hand. The system mall has the best ingredients, such as the special wagyu beef, but the price is too high. No one is willing to eat it in the small county town, but it doesn’t require those top ingredients, ordinary pork, mutton, and rabbit meat. They still have to be eaten.
Gu Xiang himself is so greedy.
Although fish meat is also meat, how can there be big pieces of braised pork, roasted pork ribs, fat intestines, and pepper and salt lamb legs beauties to taste? What hunter, maybe has meat on hand?
Gu Xiang secretly decided to make money as soon as possible. Since his original body was born fifteen years ago, he has not received more than twenty eldest sons.
After thinking for a while, when I almost finished the meal, I looked up and saw her cheap father with a look of grief and anger. Then I suddenly realized: "..."
She is always half a beat slow in encountering things, and I don’t know if there is any possibility of improvement.
Gu Xiang smiled and said openly: "The other party needs to be honest and decent, have a harmonious family, and it is best to have some skills and connections."
She also remembered the "future" she had dreamed of. Gu Zhuang must have had an accident. Everyone in the Gu family seemed to have had problems. All the dreams were fragments. She didn't know the cause and effect, but to avoid the past, she had to strengthen her own strength first.
It is best to be strong yourself, and choosing a locally powerful in-laws is also a way.
Gu Laoshi and Jiang looked at each other, carefully looked at Gu Xiang's face. Seeing that she looked gentle and did not force at all, they immediately stood up and quickly prepared a gift to ask the matchmaker to look at him.
Gu Xiang had long thought about the fact that she might get married in this era, and she would let it go after it. She was a person who had been in the disaster of life and death. There was no big deal in the face of life and death, and marriage was the same.
Now she just wants to live a peaceful and happy life. When it comes to marriage, she chooses to let things go and follow the customs.
Besides, as long as she thinks about the bloody plot mentioned in the system, she will be very Buddhist. As long as she doesn't involve the scholar Li, she will do anything.
It is not true that she has no girlish feelings. Before she traveled through time, she had read various romance novels, was the same hero in the future, and had a dream of a shocking love. But she had no choice but to be in a world of impermanence. At present, she took the wrong step and her family suffered.
