Chapter 111 New Year's goods
Chapter 111 New Year’s Goods
Gu Anguo didn't stay at the Lan family for long.
Before Lan Weicheng came back, he had already left the Lan family with his young son.
They didn't come empty-handed. Driver Feng followed behind and brought in a lot of gifts as a token of apology from the Gu family to the Lan family.
Originally Xu Shan would not accept these things, but Gu Anguo said that this apology was an apology to their two daughters.
So Xu Shan reluctantly nodded in agreement after hesitating.
Lan Shu was not very interested in receiving gifts, but she heard Xiaobai whisper to her that there was a bag of walnuts in the gift, which he specially brought from home. The walnuts had thin skin and tasted crispy and fragrant.
Lan Shu happily accepted what Xiaobai specially prepared for her.
And Lan Shu actually likes to eat nuts, but since coming to this era, she has never had the opportunity to eat them.
After the Gu family left, Lan Shu immediately dug out the walnuts from the pile of gifts, cracked a few open and tasted them.
On the side, Lan Xinya felt disgusted when she saw the way Lan Shu looked at the gifts immediately after the guests left!
What would happen if Lan Shu opened a factory in the county?
People who grew up in the countryside, no matter how talented they are, can never hide their petty nature!
At first glance, this kind of behavior has never been seen in the world!
She looks down upon her for thinking so much about a little gift!
Lan Xinya didn't care about the gift, but went directly upstairs.
Lan Shu took a plate from the kitchen and knocked out a plate of walnuts.
Then he said to Xu Shan, "Mom, it's twenty-eight tomorrow. It's time to make the dough and steam the steamed buns. Let's steam some walnut buns by the way~"
Xu Shan didn't know what a walnut bun was. After asking her daughter in detail, she learned that it was a sweet bun. Xu Shan nodded.
"Okay, whatever Shushu likes to eat, mom will make it for you~" Xu Shan smiled.
Naturally, Lan Shu would not let Xu Shan work alone. Although she did not work on weekdays, she was not incapable of working.
And during the Chinese New Year, you must eat and drink well.
She doesn't know how good Xu Shan's craftsmanship is, but she is absolutely confident in her own craftsmanship!
When it came time for the New Year's Eve dinner, in order to have as much fun as possible, Lan Shu decided to do some cooking herself~
…
The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, afternoon.
Lan Shu accompanied Xu Shan out of the house.
The New Year is coming soon, and because there have been so many messy things recently, her family hasn't had time to buy New Year's goods yet.
Now that she was free, she asked Xu Shan to go out with her.
Originally, Xu Shan also planned to call her other daughter, but Lan Xinya refused.
Nowadays, Lan Xinya is very reluctant to show up in public.
Not to mention going out for shopping, she doesn't even plan to go out during the Chinese New Year!
Lan Xinya didn't leave the house, so Xu Shan and Lan Shu had no choice but to spend time together as mother and daughter.
The two of them walked from the mall to the vegetable market. After some shopping, they had all their clothes and New Year's goods ready!
After dinner at noon, the two of them went out empty-handed. When they came back in the evening, they had so many bags that they could hardly carry them.
Fortunately, Xu Shan was not a weak woman, and Lan Shu was not a delicate lady with a lot of money, so they were able to bring back so many things.
After a busy day, Lan Weicheng, who came back from the shopping mall counter, was surprised and sighed when he saw the "results" of his wife and daughter that day.
In previous years, he was busy waiting until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to prepare the new year's goods. But now, with Shushu here, he can directly support the family~!
Lan Weicheng sincerely feels that his biological daughter is really capable!
…
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Lan Weicheng did not go to the mall counter, but stayed at home and started preparing food for the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, it is indispensable to eat fried meatballs, fried crispy pork, fried lotus roots, fried chicken nuggets, and fried fish nuggets.
In addition to these, Lan Shu also suggested frying some tofu, mushrooms, and pepper rings.
At home, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan split their duties, one frying and the other steaming steamed buns.
Lan Shu attacked from both sides.
Steaming things during the Chinese New Year is not done in the kitchen. Basically, every household moves a wood-burning stove and uses a large steamer to steam in the yard.
The steamed buns steamed over firewood are more delicious, and a large pot can steam a lot without wasting gas.
After a busy morning, at noon, a pot of steamed buns had been steamed, and most of the fried New Year's goods were fried!
The surrounding neighbors smelled the fragrance wafting from Lan's yard, and many of them were envious.
Most of their families have just left the subsistence line, while the Lan family has directly become wealthy and has a prosperous life.
I saw it all over the compound, and there were not many people like the Lan family who fried all kinds of big fish and meat all morning long.
At noon, when Lan Xinya went downstairs to eat, she saw her parents and their biological daughter chatting and laughing together, and they seemed to have a harmonious relationship. She suddenly felt as if she was an outsider——
It was obvious that she had grown up in this family, but Lan Shu had only been here for a few days and had almost taken her place in the family...
…
In the afternoon, Lan Shu used her home phone to call Gu's house.
She asked Xiaobai to come and bring some fried food back to eat.
Before making the call, Lan Shu had already told Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan about this matter. After getting their consent, she contacted Xiaobai.
Lan Shu did this not because she wanted to make friends with the Gu family, but because she had delicious food and didn't forget to share some with Xiaobai.
After Sister Lan's call, Xiaobai acted quickly.
The phone was hung up here, and within an hour, Xiaobai came to the door carrying a bag of apples and a bag of persimmons!
Although Sister Lan was there, after all, he was getting something from Lan's house, so Xiaobai didn't forget to reciprocate the gift.
Although Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan didn't meet the Gu family's youngest son many times, every time they met, they had a good impression of the young man.
Especially knowing that the youngest son of the Gu family has a good relationship with their biological daughter, so even though they have strong opinions on the eldest son of the Gu family, they do not express too much anger towards other members of the Gu family.
Lan Shu found a clean basin and picked some of each type of fried goods from Lan Weicheng's big frying pan.
I found a small bamboo basket, put a layer of steaming cloth on it, and gave Xiaobai some walnut bags that had just come out of the pot.
During the Chinese New Year, every family was busy. Xiaobai knew that staying at the Lan family would definitely delay the Lan family's preparation for the New Year, so he came to pick up the things and didn't stay long before going home.
Lan's house, second floor.
Lan Xinya just heard the movement in her yard, and she immediately stretched her neck to look downstairs through the window.
Not long after, she saw Gu Cheng's younger brother leaving with a small pot of their New Year's fried goods.
When Lan Xinya saw this, she frowned and felt angry.
She felt that Lan Shu really knew how to use their products to make her face!
Why should Lan Shu give away the things she prepared at home to others? Does she have the qualifications?
Her parents let her do this and didn't care about her at all?
Lan Xinya couldn't bear it anymore, so she went downstairs "kick, kick, kick," and sat in the living room waiting for Lan Shu to return after sending her away.
