Chapter 124 Cost-effective

Gu Xiang weighed the kitchen knife, held the tofu in one hand and the knife in the other hand, cut it horizontally and vertically. In the blink of an eye, a large pot of snow-white tofu was put into the pot.

Fry the tofu a little, then pour some soup made of fish bones, and cover with sauce and simmer for a while.

Gudu.

Wang Tiezhu took a deep breath. The roasted tofu tasted no less than the meat. It was white and tender, and it looked good. It was even more delicate and smooth when eaten. It made people want to swallow it with their tongues.

Let’s look at the green lettuce, which is crispy and refreshing when you bite.

Fried mushrooms are even more wonderful. I remember that he gave a meal of glutinous rice that he had eaten at Mr. Liu’s house to the best in the world, but now he has to say that he still had too little knowledge back then.

Wang Tiezhu is a carpenter. Although he is from the village, he has worked in wealthy families because of his good skills and has seen the signature dishes of serious restaurant chefs.

He asked him to tell that the three vegetarian dishes made in Gu Sanniang had excellent color, fragrance and taste. If you put them in a big restaurant, you may not be able to eat them if you don’t say five or fifty.

"This golden cake is sold at the market for five cents, and diners still have to compete for it."

Wang Tiezhu held the golden cake that had just been picked from the fish pot, shook his head while eating, and sighed.

“It’s so cheap.”

As for the points to be spent, it was nothing in Wang Tiezhu's opinion. He made a few chairs in the cafeteria and repaired a few old tables, and he earned more than fifty points, which allowed him to fill a meal of fish without spending a penny.

What is this little work?

"Sanniang's roasted tofu is really delicious."

Wang Tiezhu smacked his lips with satisfaction.

His brother Wang Tiesheng next to him was silenced and only glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, ate more than half of the soup first, and whispered loudly: "Three Lady, add soup to me."

Gu Xiang scooped two large spoons of tofu soup for him, smiled and pointed at the pot and said, "It's gone."

Wang Tiezhu: "…Hmm?"

Gu Xiang didn't feel laughed. When he turned around, he saw Ermu's child leaving the wooden board outside the awning. He was staring at Gu An and Gu Ning, who were picking wild vegetables on the side of the mountain.

The mother of the two children was the daughter of Gu Zhuang who married. Later, she divorced her husband's family and took the child back to the village alone. As a result, a few years ago, the disaster occurred, and several people from her family fled. The mother was also sick and passed away in a few days.

Seeing that they were pitiful, the villagers left the people behind.

The brother and sister have been living in a widow in the village for the past two years. In the Huang family, Huang was widowed in his early years and had no children. Her husband and the old patriarch were in-laws. Although she was alone, she was not bullied.

Huang's clothes are good at making and embroidery is not bad. With his first-hand embroidery, he has earned some money and has a better life. He can still afford to raise two children.

Moreover, the two children are old enough to work and can help Huang chop firewood and cook and do some housework.

The world has been bad recently, and the Huang family has no remaining food. The brother and sister go up the mountain to pick wild fruits and collect wild vegetables every day, and are very diligent.

Gu Xiang saw them looking back from time to time, especially when she served the dishes to Wang Tiesheng and his two children swallowed their saliva, and couldn't help feeling soft, and waved, "Come on."

Gu An and Gu Ning hesitated and walked to the front of the pergola.

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "If you bring dry food, why not bring it with you and I will help you with it before eating it. It is cold and eating cold dry food is prone to illness."

Gu An's face turned red: "I also want to earn points. My sister and I are good at washing dishes, washing pots and wiping the table."

Wang Ermu turned his head and glared at them hard.

Originally, Ermu, the child, did the work of washing pots and dishes. Gu Xiang smiled and nodded in agreement. Gu An was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he finally took out two vegetable nests from his arms and handed over a handful of wild vegetables in the basket.

The cabbage woo was dry and hard, and it hit the chopping board with a thud. The color was black and ugly. Not to mention eating, Wang Ermu's teeth hurt a little when he saw it. He turned around silently and went back to guard the wooden sign, carefully explaining the operation method of the canteen to the new guests.

Gu Xiang weighed the portion of the vegetable wok and smiled and said, "These two should weigh one and a half pounds, enough for you two to eat."

She picked it up and put it in the steamer and steamed it. As soon as the vegetable pot was inhaled in water vapor, it suddenly became a little full. She took it out and fell on the chopping board. With Gu Xiang's current knife light, they quickly sliced ​​them into nearly transparent thin slices.

I grabbed the onion and garlic and cut it, scooped a spoonful of sauce for later use, then washed the wild vegetables and cut them into sections with water.

After hot pot, pour some oil, add onion, garlic, add wild vegetables, add some sauce and stir-fry.

These wild vegetables are common in the mountains. They taste a little astringent and bitter. In the famine, the villagers had no choice but to cook them so they could only mess with their stomachs.

At this time, Gu Xiang made this way, and when the wild vegetables were fried and put them in the basin, the green color was like jade. The two brothers Wang Tiesheng and several villagers passing by suddenly felt that the wild vegetables all over the mountains were also very precious things.

Gu Xiang quickly ordered the pot, add oil and salt, add onion, ginger and garlic, pour the prepared sauce, put the wow slices in, stir-fry, cover and simmer for a while, then add the sauce, open the lid and pour the wild vegetables in, and suddenly roll the spoon, and the wild vegetables were hung on the dry food slices. The color was great and it was refreshing at a glance.

Gu An and Gu Ning's two children were stunned and looked at the big bowl of dried stewed food with a good taste, and they were simply incredible.

“Eat.”

Gu Xiang chuckled lightly.

The villagers who brought their own dry food around Zuojin and the villagers who lived in the dilapidated temple were immediately ready to move.

Points are not difficult to earn now. Just one point can turn food that is difficult to swallow into like this. So what are you waiting for?

Although this dry food is simple, it is made of oil, with sauce and salt. How much does it cost to buy these oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?

From watching everyone, no one cares about it, to thinking about the cafeteria when they open their eyes, it only took three and a half days for the villagers of Guzhuang.

On the third day, Gu Xiang only relied on Wang Ermu to record on the wooden board outside, and it was impossible for anyone to get any points.

Gu Xiang asked Ermu to find some wood to cut into pieces and divide it into pieces for every villager who wanted to come to the cafeteria to eat. She carved a flower on it to represent one point, a moon represents ten points, and a sun represents one hundred points. When the points are bloomed, a cloud will be added to the picture.

Her skills are extraordinary now and are easy to imitate, so it is enough to use them for emergency response for the time being.

In a very short time, Gu Zhuang was very different from usual.

The village still has little food, and the outside price is still high, but the villagers' anxiety seems to be getting smaller. There are almost no idle people in the village, stealing, and quarrels and causing trouble. The villagers are rushing to repair the houses for others. There is no need for help in the field.
