Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 53: Don’t Ask for Meat

Gu Mei pursed her lips, drooped her face, and looked very ugly.

After a while, she said stiffly, "Grandma sent Lai'an to his aunt's house. It's already dark, and he hasn't come back yet. It just so happens that you didn't cook much porridge today, and grandma didn't ask for any rice. Please give Lai'an some rice so he doesn't come back hungry."

"It's not a festival, why did you let Lai'an go to your aunt's house? What is your grandma trying to do?" Gu Lianshan frowned. What was the old lady doing?
His sister is not a good person. Every time she comes home, she makes trouble for their second wife!
"I can't guess what my grandma is thinking." Gu Mei said impatiently and handed the bowl over.

Changing the subject, she continued, "Don't forget to leave some food for Lai'an. Grandma only gave me three handfuls of millet flour today, and the porridge I cooked was very thin. When you divided the porridge between us, you only gave me half a bowl. I'm still hungry..."

After saying that, Gu Mei glanced at her father expectantly, hoping that her father would ask her to stay and eat the meat.

Gu Lianshan is not stupid. How could he not understand what his daughter said now?

But you can't say anything about keeping people.

Among his four children, the most capable and promising one is his second daughter, Gu Tang, but she is also the cruelest and hardest-hearted one.

If he dares to keep someone here without his second daughter's consent today, not only will his second daughter not be able to eat meat, she will even blow the roof off the house!
It's not that he looks down on others, but his eldest son and daughter are so stupid that they are not even worth a finger of others to play with!

Taking the bowl, Gu Lianshan pretended not to understand what his daughter said and waved at her, "I know. Go back to the house quickly. It gets very cold when it gets dark."

As he spoke, he came out of the house, closed the door, and went to the kitchen with the bowl in his hand.

Gu Mei lowered her head, her whole body shaking with anger, her heart filled with unspeakable grievances.

She stood at the door for a while, then went back into the house, covering her face and crying.

Gu Tang deliberately stood at the door of the kitchen. When she saw someone trotting back into the house, she turned around and shouted to her father, "Your eldest daughter is crying. I'm afraid she must hate me to death now."

"You're saying that as if she didn't hate you in the past. You two sisters have never gotten along since you were little. You've always been at loggerheads."

Gu Lianshan was washing a clay pot and said this without turning his head.

Gu Tang curled his lips and thought, it’s okay, he didn’t ask his eldest daughter to stay for dinner, but he still wanted this cheap father.

He returned to the kitchen, took out the stir-fried rabbit meat, picked up a piece, blew it cool, and put it in his mouth.

Well... the taste is not bad, but not delicious either. It is just salty and has no other taste. But it is a hundred times better than millet porridge!
"What? It doesn't taste good?" Seeing her frown, Gu Lianshan thought the rabbit meat tasted bad, so he reached out and picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth.

Mm! A mouthful of burnt aroma, no fishy smell, tastes good!
"Daddy, this tastes great. It's a hundred times better than the meat your grandma made!"

Gu Tang rolled his eyes. "My grandma usually boils meat. How can you expect it to taste that good?"

Gu Lianshan thought about it and it made sense. The old lady had been cooking all her life, boiling food with water, no oil and little salt, as long as it could fill her stomach.

As for whether it tastes good or not, the old lady never considers that.

Putting the rinsed earthenware pot on the stove, Gu Lianshan prepared to cook a bowl of porridge for his eldest son to eat when he came back.

Gu Tang took a glance and did not stop her father from cooking porridge, nor did she tell him to leave some rice or meat for Gu Laian. Instead, she gave him a few reminders.

"I don't know when my eldest brother will be back, and it's getting late. If I go to my aunt's house, she's bound to leave some food for me. Don't rush to cook this porridge yet. Wait until someone comes back and asks if you've eaten."

Gu Lianshan had just scooped a bucket of water but hadn't poured it in when he heard Gu Tang's words. After thinking about it, he realized that this made sense.

My nephew from my mother's side is coming over, so as his aunt, I should at least treat him to a meal, right?

If you eat it, there is no need to cook the porridge.

Putting down the watering can, Gu Lianshan listened to Gu Tang and planned to wait for someone to come back and ask him about it.

Seeing this, Gu Tang smiled and handed a small bowl full of rabbit meat to her father: "Bring it to my room to eat. There is a deer in your room, and there is no room to eat right now."

Holding a pot of meat, the rich aroma of meat instantly surrounded Gu Lianshan.

At this moment, he couldn't hear anything his daughter said. He just did whatever she said and his only thought was about eating meat!
As the others carried the meat out of the kitchen, the smile on Gu Tang's face changed, becoming malicious. Feng had only given birth to one daughter in her life, named Gu Zhi, whose behavior and temperament were very similar to Feng's.

If the boys and girls from the eldest family came over, Gu Zhi would definitely leave some food for them.

But if the boys and girls from the second house come over, not only will they not leave any food for you, they won't even give you a sip of water, and they will also force you to help with some chores.

Gu Laian has been gone for such a long time and hasn't come back. He is most likely staying there to work.

I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until it's completely dark.

The more Gu Tang thought about it, the happier he became. He picked up the rice he had cooked earlier and happily left the kitchen.

Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an were sitting in the house waiting for her. The dishes were already set out, and they were just waiting for Gu Tang and rice.

Even though Gu Tang kept saying she was greedy, when it came time to eat, she really couldn't eat much.

She only ate a spoonful of the half-full can of rice, and the same with the rabbit meat. Her father and Gu Ping'an gave her all the good meat. She picked and ate a dozen pieces, and then she couldn't eat anymore.

The original owner had never been full for many years. His stomach was small and shallow, so he couldn't eat much, nor could he eat too full, otherwise he would vomit out of discomfort.

When he first came through, Gu Tang was not aware of the original owner's illness. He ate too much and ended up vomiting violently. He lost his energy for the whole day.

Gu Lianshan and his son both knew that Gu Tang couldn't eat too much, so they picked out some uneaten rabbit meat for her, and ate the rest together with rice.

After dinner, Gu Tang doesn’t have to wash the pots and pans.

Her father washed the pots and dishes while Gu Ping'an went to boil hot water for her.

After the hot water is boiled, Gu Tang washes up and then goes to bed.

It's cold, there's no internet, no electricity, and no place to play. There's nothing I can do except lie in bed to keep warm.

Moreover, people tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking too much.

Not long after lying in bed, Gu Tang yawned several times and fell asleep soon after, without even turning off the oil lamp.

……

He went to bed early and woke up early. The rooster in the backyard crowed just twice when Gu Tang woke up in a daze.

When I turned my head, I saw the oil lamp on the stool beside the bed.

The oil lamp was still on, having been on all night, and the oil inside was almost burned out.

what the hell!

Her lamp oil!!!

Gu Tang instantly became alert and quickly got up to blow out the lamp.

After blowing out the lights, she shivered and lay back in bed, wrapping herself tightly in the fur blanket. She felt so heartbroken and angry.

I had planned to get up as soon as I woke up.

It’s not worth it now!
Gu Tang turned over angrily, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Unfortunately, I was destined not to be able to sleep in.

Not long after she lay down, her father's voice rang out from outside the room: "Daughter? Are you awake?"

Gu Tang opened his eyes and called up the system panel. It was only five o'clock in the morning and it was still dark!
"Dad, why are you up so early?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? Someone's coming to our house to check on the deer today, but we don't know when they'll be coming. Hurry up and feed the deer some more rice to cheer it up!"
