His predecessor failed

He's mother and Lin Wu plan to go out today and make a big meal for Su Zhuzhu at noon to celebrate.

When we came back from the county, there was another car full of good stuff.

Lin Wu asked his comrades to buy some shrimps and crabs a few days ago, and specified that they wanted them today. The two of them also went to buy meat, pig's trotters, ribs, a duck, and a goose, but they didn't buy fish, as Ping'an had sent them a lot of fish in the past few days and they hadn't finished eating them yet. They didn't need chicken either, as Lin Wu could just go to the mountain to catch some. They also bought a big bag of apples, which could keep well in this weather.

He's mother took Lin Wu to the counter selling supplementary food, weighed out various snacks, bought several cans of malted milk and canned food, and weighed out two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy for Su Zhuzhu.

He's mother looked down on the clothes and shoes sold in the Qingfeng County department store, so she planned to buy them at the foreign exchange store when she returned to Beijing and then send them to Zhuzhu.

The two of them went on a shopping spree and returned to the Youth League Institute. It was not yet noon and Su Zhuzhu had not returned yet.

After taking the things out of the car and sorting them out, He's mother started preparing lunch.

Lin Wu went to kill the ducks, but thoughtfully left the goose behind. He wanted to eat the goose stewed in an iron pot made by Zhu Zhu in the evening, hehe!

When Su Zhuzhu came back at noon, lunch was almost ready. There was braised duck with basil, braised pork trotters, braised prawns, stir-fried rapeseed, and a pork rib and winter melon soup.

The table was filled with delicious food. Su Zhuzhu quickly washed her hands and helped serve the rice, waiting for Liu Yuanyuan to come back so they could start eating.

Lin Wu leaned close to Su Zhuzhu's ear and whispered, "Zhuzhu, I bought a goose and tied it up behind the kitchen. I want to eat the goose stewed in an iron pot!"

Seeing Lin Wu's drooling face, Su Zhuzhu almost lost her eyes from laughing.

"Arrange it, let Brother Xiao Wu have it tonight!"

Su Zhuzhu only had to report today and did not need to go to the clinic in the afternoon. After lunch and a short rest, she went into the mountains to play with He's mother and Lin Wu. Of course, she and He's mother were really having fun, as Lin Wu was busy hunting game.

The two of them had a lot of fun, picking wild grapes, wild mushrooms, and wild flowers. There were many wild fruits in the mountains, but there were too many that they didn't recognize and they didn't dare to eat them, so they decided to wait and go into the mountains with the villagers to identify them first.

Lin Wu was lucky today. He shot four rabbits and three pheasants. The three of them went down the mountain with a great harvest.

Su Zhuzhu insisted on cooking at night as she couldn't always let the guests do the work. Although she was greedy for this kind of warmth, the feelings were mutual. Su Zhuzhu also liked to cook delicious food for He's mother and Lin Wu. Since she came to this world, these were the people who treated her best and were her relatives in Su Zhuzhu's heart.

The main course for the evening is stewed goose in an iron pot, with some cornmeal cakes on top. Less rice will be cooked, and crabs will also be eaten today. I'll make spicy crabs, which Xiao Wu will definitely like. I'll fish out a big grass carp from the bucket and make boiled fish fillets, stew a pheasant and mushroom soup, stir-fry a dish of eggplant and beans, and cut the loofah into thick strips to put under the boiled fish.

After arranging the menu, Su Zhuzhu got busy. The task of killing geese and chickens was definitely given to Lin Wu, while Su Zhuzhu was busy processing crabs and fish, and also making cornmeal by the way.

One pheasant is enough for stewing soup, and two Suzhuzhu can be pickled with salt and put in the cabinet, and then secretly put into the space at night without worrying about them going bad.

A temporary stove was set up outside the kitchenette. The burning charcoal was taken from the stove, and a casserole was put on it. The chicken soup was stewed first, and then the mushrooms were added after it was done.

While the rice was simmering, oil was heated in a pan, and ginger, garlic and star anise were added to stir-fry. Then the chopped goose meat was added and stir-fried until the moisture was dried and the goose skin was oily. Thinking of serving a bowl of this to Zheng Qiwen and the others in the evening, Su Zhuzhu took out two ribs, chopped them into pieces, and put them into the pan to stir-fry together. She added soybean paste and other seasonings, and finally poured in boiling water to simmer. When the time was almost right, she kneaded the cornmeal into pancakes and stuck them on the edge of the pot. The pot was big enough, so she stuck about ten of them in a circle. The soup from the stewed goose was bubbling, and the corn pancakes that had absorbed the soup made Lin Wu want to eat them right away.

The time-consuming chicken soup and stewed goose were ready, and the rest of the dishes were quickly prepared for Su Zhuzhu. She first boiled the fish and then quickly stir-fried a spicy crab, both of which were easy to cook. When the last eggplant and green beans were out of the pot, Lin Wu couldn't wait to bring all the dishes to the table, and then ran out to call Liu Yuanyuan to come back for dinner.
