Chapter 43 Something happened

Gu Nanxing threw away the melon seed shells and stood up to serve the dishes: stir-fried pork with garlic leaves, braised pork with preserved vegetables, pork ribs cooked with Pi Lan, a bowl of vegetarian pumpkin, chicken stewed with Panax notoginseng, and glutinous rice with pig's blood, all very authentic rural pig-killing dishes.

Just as she was serving the last bowl of braised pork with tofu strips, the lid of the pot was removed too quickly...

Gu Nanxing only grasped the edge of the bowl, and the hot oil and soup just out of the pot splashed on her hands. She twitched in pain, "hiss~"

Li Tianjiao quickly took the bottom of the bowl and placed it on the table, "Is Nanxing okay?"

"Why are you so impatient, girl? I was holding it steady, so how could I still get burned?" Seeing the red burn on the back of her white and smooth hand, the yellow-haired man had no awareness of doing anything wrong, but instead teased her with a naughty smile.

Gu Nanxing took out a tissue to wipe the oil off his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost!"

The little girl had a bad temper. Being scolded in public, Huangmao's face turned red and he cursed subconsciously, "This is Dongzi's house, not yours. You are the one who should leave."

Gu Nanxing took Tianjiao's hand and turned away without saying a word.

The kids at the same table stood up, and the fat one pointed at the yellow-haired boy, "Who are you? How dare you bully our sister Nanxing?"

The little girl in the floral cotton jacket shouted, "Sister Nanxing, don't go!"

"Damn yellow hair."

Ah, this... Huangmao was a little at a loss as to what to do with the kids at this table.

They were all children she knew, so Gu Nanxing felt a little sorry for them. She turned around and looked at them, "Sister, would you like to come to my house for some snacks?"

"Okay~"

"We won't eat this half-cooked rice!"

"let's go."

All the children followed him away.

Li Tianjiao followed her good sister. She didn't want to stay here anymore.

Jiang Yuxiang and Chen Dong rushed over and saw Huangmao standing in front of the empty table.

"What happened to Xiaoguang? The mothers of these children are still helping in the kitchen. What should we say if he is gone?" Chen Dong anxiously chased out of the hospital gate, but he could not find anyone when he came out.

Xiaoguang was about to cry. She just wanted to tease the little girl, but she didn't expect her to be so angry.

The lady at the next table came over with a bowl and said, "This kid is dishonest. He just bullied the girl from the Gu family and even asked her to leave after being scolded."

"That's right, we saw it with our own eyes."

The lady who was eating was watching the show with a smile on her face while picking up her dishes.

The old man of the Gu family is a barefoot doctor. No matter whether it is a big or small illness for humans or animals, people go to him for help, so he has some prestige.

"Xiaoguang, you really can't change your bad habits," Jiang Yuxiang put her hands on her hips and cursed. This kid was not honest when he was working outside, and he was still like this when he came home.

The little girl came to eat a meal, and she politely brought a box of milk, but she left in anger before she could even eat. Who in the village could build a house as big as the Gu family?

Everyone here comes here with a mouth open to eat.

What's the matter!
Huangmao lowered his head after being scolded.

"Please take the vegetables away. It's not a good idea to leave them here in this cold weather." Chen Dong took the lid of his pot and put the vegetables away.

Gu Nanxing, who was driven away in anger, led the little rascals back home. She took out the snacks for the guests, and everyone gathered around the warm brazier to warm themselves by the fire and eat snacks.

The greedy children were showing off their potato chips, turning on the TV and watching cartoons, and they were living more comfortably than at home.

Gu Nanxing went to the kitchen to cook, and Li Tianjiao helped her pick vegetables.

After picking the beans into two sections, Li Tianjiao asked in confusion, "Nanxing, why do we have to bring all these children back? It's rare for us to eat meat on weekdays."

Gu Nanxing rinsed the rice and put it into the rice cooker. After pressing the cooking button, he walked to the sink and secretly put some spiritual spring water in a basin to wash the burned back of his hand.

She looked at Tianjiao with amusement. "Even children know that rice is half-cooked, but you can't tell?" "Also, I saw blood on the meat and vegetables. It must be because they didn't drain the pig blood clean when they slaughtered it. There are too many impurities in the pork rib soup. If you don't remove it, you will really get sick from it. Do you believe it?"

Li Tianjiao lost her grip on the beans and they all fell into the basket. "With so many people helping to cook, it has to be clean!"

Thinking of the village chief's pale face, lying in bed in pain and diarrhea, she felt a surge of fear.

"Several families slaughtered pigs today, and the butcher was too busy. The young people were just having fun, so they probably slaughtered the pigs themselves. The Chen family works away from home all year, and the pool hasn't been cleaned in a year. Today, the water usage was high, and there was debris at the bottom of the pool, so the cooking water is not clean."

Gu Nanxing took his hand out of the basin. The pain was gone, but it was still very red.

Li Tianjiao came over with a basin of beans to wash. "What should we do? I have a feeling that everyone who ate at the Chen family's today will probably have diarrhea or enteritis!"

"Who knows." Gu Nanxing said and washed the vegetables with her.

The uncle who made the energy-saving stove came with professionals to set it up. The two of them simply stir-fried bacon slices and green beans, fried potatoes which were the children's favorite, stir-fried mushrooms with fresh meat slices, cooked a three-fresh soup with cabbage and tofu, and took out the dumplings they had made a few days ago from the refrigerator and fried a plate of them, matching the meat and vegetables properly.

The children came over, smelling the fragrance, chattering and taking their bowls to add more rice.

"It smells so good, even better than the pig-killing dish at Uncle Dong's house." Xiaopang picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing it with satisfaction.

Gu Nanxing smiled and picked up a piece of fried potato for him, "If it tastes good, eat more."

There were many children, and they were having a great time eating with each other.

It was still light after dinner, so the playful children played hide-and-seek in the big yard.

Gu Nanxing and Tianjiao cleaned up the mess and washed the dishes.

After they dried their hands and walked out of the kitchen, they saw Grandpa Gu coming back in a hurry.

A child with a headscarf couldn't see the road and bumped into him.

"Ouch~" Old Master Gu bent down and helped the child, and only walked away after seeing that he was fine.

The child took off his headscarf and looked at the person he bumped into, "Uncle Gu?"

Gu Nanxing followed Grandpa suspiciously, "Grandpa, why are you back?"

After the pig-killing dinner, family members usually don’t go home so early and they play until at least eight or nine o’clock.

Hearing the voice, Mr. Gu turned around and said, "Nanxing, you are here. I didn't see you at Chen's house."

"Something happened to the Chen family?" Gu Nanxing had a premonition.

He was instantly relieved that his granddaughter was fine.

"Everyone who went to Chen's house for dinner had diarrhea. I went over to take a look and came back to get some medicine. I also wanted to see if you were okay."

As Grandpa Gu spoke, he took his granddaughter's burned hand and instantly felt distressed. "Just now, your Aunt Xiang kept apologizing to me and asking for the reason. I was really angry."

The old woman at home wouldn't let her granddaughter work, so Nanxing went with him to find herbs, but she dug them herself, not wanting her to do it herself. Just wait and see how he'll deal with that damned brat.

Gu Nanxing shook his head, "It's okay, Grandpa, I'll go with you later."

Of course she has to avenge herself!
"You don't have to go." After saying that, Mr. Gu walked towards the pharmacy alone. He still remembered the medicine he prescribed for the village chief last time.

Li Tianjiao looked at the children playing in the yard and smiled with relief. If these children had not left with them, they would probably have diarrhea by now.

Gu Nanxing went back to his room and put on a coat, and took out the silver needle from the space. There were too many members of the Chen family, so he had to help his grandfather quickly.

There was no one at home, so she said, "Tianjiao, you stay home and look after these children. Don't let them mess around with the saplings and herbs in the yard."

 As I write this, in more than a month, it will be time to slaughter the New Year pigs in Yunnan.

  This chapter begins with a special pig-killing dish from Ah Xian's hometown.

  The dishes used to entertain guests when slaughtering pigs are very different in the north and south. What are the special dishes when slaughtering pigs in your hometown?
  Hehehe... leave a comment to introduce it.
