A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Chapter 7 Preparation for cooking delicious food

Gu Zhou never expected Jiang Yu to come back. He thought she had sneaked away while he was relaxing.

What was even more unexpected was that she even went out to the back mountain. To that place, even adults had to go in groups of several people.

She was alone and dug up a lot of things.

"What are these things you dug up in the back hill?"

Gu Zhou held his younger brother in his arms and walked curiously to Jiang Yu who was picking vegetables.

"These! Food. I saw you bring back a piece of pork yesterday. These are for flavoring and seasoning. There's nothing to eat at home. You and your younger brothers and sisters are young. If you eat too poorly, you won't grow tall."

Shen Wu lowered his head and quickly dealt with the things under him, while explaining these things to him very carefully.

She didn't know whether ancient people used these for meals. She didn't find these things in the kitchen yesterday, but she went to dig them up when she saw them in the back mountain today.

After processing a few handfuls, he suddenly realized that he had nothing to put them in, so he quickly asked, "Is there a basin for washing vegetables at home? Can you help me get it, little sister?"

She smiled and looked up expectantly at Gu Wei who was standing in the yard.

Gu Wei didn't know what to do. Although she made a delicious soup yesterday, but... thinking of the past Jiang Yu, she suddenly didn't know what to do and had to look at her brother.

Gu Zhou said: "Go get it for her."

After getting permission, Gu Wei ran to the kitchen, took out the wooden basin from the corner and gave it to Jiang Yu.

Shen Wu took the basin and thanked Gu Wei: "Thank you, little sister."

Gu Wei was so frightened by her thanks that she hid behind Gu Zhou, watching Shen Wu's actions with curiosity and nervousness.

Put the previously processed items into the basin and continue to process the remaining items.

Just keep the tenderest part of the bamboo shoots, pick the shepherd's purse and put it in a corner of the pot, and peel the other onions, ginger, garlic, etc. and throw them into the soil.

In modern times, Shen Wu is the head cook in the family. After years of work, she has become nimble and deft. Although she has a new body, she is not slow at all.

When it came to the raspberries, she didn't put any of them in the basin. Instead, she put them in her coat pocket as they were and put them into the basin.

"Do you have woven baskets or bamboo baskets at home? Is there a river or something nearby?"

Shen Wu saw that everyone in this family had to carry water, and the water in the kitchen was stored in large vats. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the river to wash.

Gu Zhou handed his little brother to his little sister, turned around and went to the kitchen to get out a wicker frame: "Little sister, stay at home and look after my brother. Jiang Yu and I will go to the river."

"Okay brother"

Gu Wei held her little brother obediently and watched the two of them leave.

The river is not far from home. In fact, it is just below the slope and can be seen after turning a corner.

Gu Zhou walked in front holding a wicker basket, and Shen Wu walked behind holding a large wooden basin.

The river was just a few steps away, and someone was washing clothes there. Shen Wu followed Gu Zhou and walked upstream a few steps before starting to work.

Shen Wu went forward to the basket, put the shepherd's purse in it, immersed it in water and rinsed it several times before stopping.

Gu Zhou didn't want to help. He stood behind the busy Jiang Yu and watched her movements.

The water is extremely clear, about up to the calf, and you can clearly see the small fish swimming at the bottom of the water.

Shen Wu put some green onions, ginger, and garlic in and threw in the bamboo shoots as well.

Take the raspberries out of the wooden basin, fill the basin with water and wash them thoroughly from inside to outside.

"Gu family boy, I heard Jiang Yu fell, is he okay recently?"

The person who came seemed to be an elder. Shen Wu concentrated on looking at the food without turning his head.

"I'm fine, don't worry, uncle and aunt."

Gu Zhou turned around and replied.

She washed the basin and rinsed the vegetables carefully. When it was almost time, she quickly took them out of the basket and put them into the clean wooden basin. She also put the raspberries in the clothes pocket in and rinsed them slowly.

While washing the raspberries, Shen Wu stood up and looked at the person who was speaking.

"Hey! Jiang Yu is here too? Didn't he fall and get seriously ill a few days ago and couldn't get out of bed?"

The person who was speaking was a middle-aged woman, and next to her stood a middle-aged man, who looked at Gu Zhou and Shen Wu with surprise.

Shen Wu was about to open his mouth when Gu Zhou spoke first: "It did look quite serious a few days ago, but it's actually nothing serious. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

"Hey, Jiang Yu, what can your aunt say to you? Just as your mother left, you started to act recklessly again. Now that you have fallen, do you still dare to cause trouble?"

Aunt He really felt that this child shouldn't be like this. She didn't know where she took the wrong step. She caused trouble every day and didn't behave like a girl at all.

Gu Zhou spoke again: "Don't worry, auntie, Jiang Yu knows he was wrong."

Aunt He looked at Jiang Yu standing by the river with an honest look on his face and sighed helplessly: "I hope so."

Shen Wu did not dare to speak the whole time. He watched the two people walking farther and farther away until they disappeared. Then he dared to ask Gu Zhou: "Are they relatives?"

Gu Zhou looked at the puzzled Shen Wu with unspeakable emotions in his eyes.

"No, this is our neighbor who lives down the hill."

"So that's it!"

Shen Wu nodded, then leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Was I really too much before?"

Gu Zhou looked at Jiang Yu who was coming towards him, and he really felt that she was different. The previous Jiang Yu would never speak to them like this: "Do you want to know?"

Shen Wu nodded eagerly. She definitely wanted to know what kind of person this body was in the past.

Gu Zhou spoke without hesitation: "In the past, you were a thief, never at home, stole money, and hung out with scoundrels."

"? Ah! Was I so excessive in the past? No wonder that aunt scolded me."

Shen Wu was shocked by the original body's previous actions. The truth that Gu Zhou told was too scary. This was something that the modern Shen Wu had never done before. It sounded difficult to deal with. It seemed that the original body was really a disaster.

"You won't lie to me, will you?"

Shen Wu thought about it and couldn't decide whether Gu Zhou's words were true or false.

"I never lie."

Gu Zhou has never lied to anyone and only tells the truth.

"Okay, I'll believe you! I promise! Things will never be like before again. I will definitely take good care of you. Although I don't remember the past, I will be a good sister in the future!"

When Gu Zhou listened to Jiang Yu talking, he always felt that this man had misunderstood something. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Wu interrupted him.

"Oh! My raspberries!".

Shen Wu caught a glimpse of something that was almost washed away and hurried forward to grab it.

"Let's go back." Everything has been washed. We'll starve to death if we don't go back.

As soon as he got home, Shen Wu started to get busy in the kitchen.

Cut some large pieces of onion, ginger and garlic for later use. Ask Gu Zhou to bring yesterday's meat, wash it with water, separate the fat and lean meat, and split the small bamboo shoots in half and cut them into pieces of the same size for later use.

It’s too late to have breakfast when the sun is setting, so I can only have lunch. There’s no problem in having some stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork.

In order to save trouble, Shen Wu prepared to knead dough to make hand-rolled noodles. When he was looking for a basin in the corner of the kitchen, he found an unexpected surprise!

Sichuan peppercorn!

There was an old pepper in a pot that had not been used for a long time!

"Gu Zhou! Can this basin be used to knead dough?"

Shen Wu turned his back to the kitchen door and squatted down to get the wooden basin.

This family is so poor that there are wooden products everywhere.

Gu Zhou originally went to see his younger sister and younger brother, and when he came over, he saw Shen Wu in the corner of the kitchen, taking out a very early basin.

That basin was used by my mother when she was in good health, and it was indeed used to knead dough.

"Do you know where you got this from?"

Shen Wu held the peppercorns he found in the basin in one hand, his face full of excitement.

Gu Zhou looked carefully at what she was holding in her hand: "Peppercorns? The ones from under the slope."

"Can you pick one for me? I'll need it for cooking later."

"Okay," Gu Zhou agreed, then turned around and started to pick some peppercorns for her.
