Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 137 Scrambled Eggs with Toona sinensis

"You usually eat these...?"

"Yes! The wild vegetables cooked by my sister are delicious!" An Nian said with a smile.

Gu Mingchuan had never eaten these wild vegetables in his life. After hearing what An Nian said, he was quite looking forward to it.

However, when he thought about the taste of the herbs he had just chewed, he was no longer so excited.

A quarter of an hour passed.

The brother and sister picked the vegetables and prepared to start cooking dinner.

An Yue planned to make a delicious dish of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon. Now that there was an extra pair of chopsticks at home, she had to prepare an extra dish, so she decided to make stir-fried meat with water celery.

Blanch the wild bamboo shoots first, then put them in a wooden basin and soak them in clean water overnight.

When you get up early tomorrow morning, cook a pot of rice porridge first, then mix it with some pickled bamboo shoots in vinegar. It is super refreshing to go with the rice porridge.

An Nian walked obediently to the stove, ready to hand over firewood.

An Yue was behind the stove, washing pots, steaming rice, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and preparing everything.

The brother and sister work together very well.

First, cook the rice until it is half cooked, then drain and steam it.

After steaming the rice, stir-fry the Chinese toon and eggs, and finally make stir-fry the water celery and meat.

The brother and sister were busy in the kitchen for nearly half an hour, and dinner was finally ready.

Gu Mingchuan was obviously a little hungry from waiting, but he was too embarrassed to rush, so he had to sit on the bench and wait.

"It's out of the pan!" An Yue said after cooking the last dish.

When Gu Mingchuan heard An Yue say "It's out of the pot" in the kitchen, he instantly perked up.

An Nian put down the wooden tongs for passing firewood, ran to wash his hands and prepare to set the table.

An Yue brought the food to the table, and the three of them started to eat dinner around the octagonal table.

An Nian picked up the chopsticks and saw the dishes on the table. He said with a gleam in his eyes, "Great! There are eggs and meat tonight!"

Gu Mingchuan glanced at An Nian, his eyes seemed to say "what's the fuss?"

Gu Mingchuan was already extremely hungry. He picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon and put it into his mouth. His expression was instantly filled with surprise.

The siblings looked at his expression, and An Nian asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Although An Nian had never eaten Chinese toon, he believed in his sister unconditionally and believed that any dish cooked by his sister would be delicious.

Seeing Gu Mingchuan eating, An Nian also hurriedly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks to taste it.

An Nian tasted it and nodded with satisfaction, just like a chick pecking at rice.

"What is the name of this dish my sister cooked? It's so delicious! I can eat two big bowls of rice with it every year." After saying this, An Nian buried his head and continued to eat with a huff.

An Yue rubbed An Nian's head for a few times, smiled and said lovingly: "If Niannian likes it, eat more. This is called scrambled eggs with Chinese toon. Sister will make it for Niannian in the future."

An Nian no longer cared about so much. He and Gu Mingchuan were scrambling to eat the food, taking turns to use their chopsticks.

An Yue reminded them, "Hurry up and try the fried pork with water celery."

Gu Mingchuan was still chewing, but he had already reached out with his chopsticks to pick up the stir-fried meat with water celery.

An Nian was not to be outdone and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks to taste.

Gu Mingchuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This one is not bad either."

At this moment, Gu Mingchuan no longer had the elegance and demeanor of a rich young man. He and An Nian buried their heads and wolfed down the food.

These two dishes would be quite delicious even in the 21st century, not to mention in this era of material scarcity.

Scrambled eggs with Chinese toon and fried celery with meat taste quite good.

The three of them were eating dinner around the octagonal table. After a while, they had cleared away all the food on the plates.

The three of them ate their fill, and An Nian and Gu Mingchuan rubbed their stomachs in satisfaction.

An Yue put away the dishes and chopsticks, while An Nian passed firewood and rice to the stove to boil some hot water for foot soaking.

The brother and sister were chatting in the kitchen, talking about the interesting things that happened to them today, with happy smiles on their faces.

After finishing his dinner, Gu Mingchuan sat quietly aside, listening to the brother and sister's conversation and laughter intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't know what was going on, but he also grinned along with them.

The early spring night is cool and pleasant, with a gentle breeze, and the village is still peaceful.

An Yue washed the dishes, An Nian prepared the footbath water, and the siblings began to soak their feet.

After soaking her feet and preparing to go to bed to rest, An Yue suddenly found that Gu Mingchuan was still sitting on the bench pitifully.

Now there is suddenly one more person in the family, what should I do?

There was only one bed in the house, and the brother and sister had only lived there for a short time, so they had to sleep in one bed for the time being.

An Nian is getting older and older, and he should have his own independent resting space.

An Yue originally planned to wait until the weather got warmer and then find someone to share a bed with her.

However, the most important thing is to solve the problem at hand first.

An Yue thought about the few rice straws left under the eaves, so she planned to move into the house, make a bed on the floor for Gu Mingchuan, and let him stay there for the night.

She didn't intend to let him stay in this house for long. After all, it was not easy for her to support herself and An Nian on her own.

An Yue looked at how much Gu Mingchuan ate when he had dinner. He was really not good at anything and he didn't leave any leftovers.

The amount he eats alone is as much as that of his two siblings combined.

Therefore, An Yue planned to let Gu Mingchuan leave tomorrow.

There were some dead leaves under the stove, so she planned to put some straw on top of them and then find him an old quilt so he could get through the night.

An Yue called out to An Nian and said, "Niannian, go to the eaves with your sister and bring the rice straw into the house."

After An Nian agreed, he followed An Yue obediently.

"Sister, why are we moving rice straw?" An Nian followed behind Anyue and asked with some confusion.

As An Yue opened the door to the east room, she seemed to see a dark shadow on the courtyard wall, and her muscles tightened reflexively.

Just when An Yue wanted to take a closer look, the figure disappeared into the darkness with a whoosh.

An Yue rubbed her eyes, thinking that it was because the light was too dim and she was dazzled, so she didn't think much about it.

The brother and sister moved the rice straw back to the kitchen and spread a layer of rice straw on the dead leaves. Then An Yue took out the worn-out quilt that her mother had patched countless times and placed it under the stove.

She said to Gu Mingchuan, "We only have one bed in our house, so you can just make do with it tonight! Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, you can go back to where you came from!"

"Me...? Sleep here?" Gu Mingchuan pointed at himself in disbelief, then pointed at the floor and asked back.

"Why? Are you still not happy?"

"If you don't want to, you can choose to leave now. This is the condition of our family."

Gu Mingchuan looked outside the door. It was pitch black and he didn't dare to say anything.

He had no choice but to accept the "bed" that An Yue arranged for him.

Although it is spring now and not as cold as the coldest months of winter, it is still very cold late at night.
