Chapter 335: Busy
Chapter 335 Busy
“You have such a sweet mouth, you are getting better and better at talking.” The third grandma smiled from ear to ear, wishing she could hold Brother Cheng in her arms and give her a kiss.
Gu Jinli had already brought a kitchen knife and said to Qin Sanlang: "Brother Qin, make a wish quickly. After making your wish, let's cut the cake and eat it."
As for the candles, the shop will open tomorrow, and the family has bought a few pairs of red candles. But now the red candles are as thick as **** and are used to make votive candles. She can't bear to look at the scene just thinking about it.
"Make a wish?" Qin Sanlang thought, it should be similar to going to the temple to burn incense and ask for God's blessing. He didn't know what he thought of, but he really put his hands together, closed his eyes, and seriously made...two wishes.
After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled: "Okay."
Gu Jinli immediately cut the cake with a knife. The cake was very big and she cut out twenty pieces. She took one piece and gave it to Qin Sanlang: "Brother Qin, happy birthday, I wish you all your wishes come true."
Qin Sanlang raised a smile, took the cake, and took a bite. The sweetness and milk flavor mixed with the burnt aroma filled his mouth, making his smile diminish slightly.
Gu Jinli asked: "Is it delicious?"
Qin Sanlang nodded: "It's delicious."
Although he doesn't like sweet things, this cake is really delicious.
“Second sister, second sister, I want to eat too.” Cheng Geer opened his big round eyes and almost drooled as he stared at the fragrant cake.
"Here you go." Gu Jinli handed a piece of cake to Brother Cheng, and then gave it to Mistress Cui, Mrs. Gu, and Gu Jinxiu.
After congratulating Qin Sanlang on his birthday, Gu Jinan also picked up a piece of cake to eat. He likes sweets, and this kind of cake suits his taste: "Not bad, soft and fluffy, sweet and waxy, very delicious."
The third grandma ate the cake and thought it was delicious, but it only cost eggs and sugar.
“Third Grandma, can we come in?” Gu Dewang took Gu Defa. The two brothers held the courtyard door and looked into the courtyard, swallowing their saliva. They wanted to come in and eat cakes, but they were afraid that Third Grandma would scold someone.
Third Grandma looked at them and said, "Come in."
"Hey." Gu Dewang pulled Gu Defa and ran into the yard. He called everyone in the yard very well, and finally looked up at Gu Jinli and implored: "Sister Xiaoyu."
Gu Defa then shouted: "Sister Xiaoyu."
Gu Jinli looked at their greedy looks and gave each of them a piece of cake: "Eat it, eat it slowly, each person only has one piece, and it will be gone after you finish it."
"Hey, thank you sister Xiaoyu, we will eat it slowly." After saying this, the two brothers Gu Dewang devoured the cake and finished the cake in a short time.
“It’s delicious, sweet, and soft.” Gu Dewang licked his mouth and looked at the cake on the iron plate with greedy eyes. Unfortunately, Gu Jinli would not give it to him again.
This is Qin Sanlang's birthday gift. Everyone can only eat one piece, and the rest must be taken home by Qin Sanlang.
Brother Gu Dewang has been listening to Gu Jinli's words recently. She does whatever she says and doesn't follow his mother's trick of clamoring for food.
After Gu Jinli finished eating the cake in his hand, he took a cloth bag, picked up eight pieces of cake, put them in the cloth bag, and handed them to Qin Sanlang: "Brother Qin, take them back to Grandpa Qin and the others. If you can't finish them, take them with you." Go to the military station, the cake is baked and can be kept for three to five days."
He then said: "Brother Qin, please come and help kill the fish later. Our family has to help make braised fish for our aunt's family. The braised fish cubes are easy to sell, so we need to make more."
The shop will open tomorrow, and the tofu and braised food will be sold together in the shop. Many regular customers have said they will come to buy it, and several families have been preparing for it these two days. Qin Sanlang had long seen the two tanks of fish placed on the kitchen porch, and when he heard Gu Jinli speak, he naturally responded: "Okay."
He took the bag and carried the cake home.
Mr. Qin is not here. The shop will open tomorrow. He followed the third grandfather to the town early in the morning to work. Qin Sanlang took out two pieces of cake and gave them to Qin Erlang. As expected, Qin Erlang pushed his hand away in disgust.
Qin Sanlang was happy to save two pieces of cake. He put the two cakes on the table in the main room, tied them in pottery bowls, and then went to Gu Jinli's house to help.
Qin Sanlang is very good at cutting fish and is a first-rate expert at killing fish. He and Gu Jinan worked hard for an hour, killing the fish in two tanks and then chopped them into large pieces three fingers wide.
Mrs. Cui took up the oil pan, put the fish pieces they chopped into the oil pan and fried them until they were crispy, then took them out to control the oil.
Gu Jinli re-boiled three pots of marinade. After the marinade was cooked, he put the fried fish pieces into the marinade and soaked them. They would be sold tomorrow.
“Grandma Gu San, we have sent you dried tofu and fried tofu.” Lao Zhu’s mother and daughter and Wang Ma’s sister-in-law each carried a load of things into the yard.
The third grandma pointed to the kitchen and said: "Send it to the kitchen, Xiaoyu and the others are in the kitchen."
Then he said: "You guys go to Daya's house later and ask her if there are any fish she has killed? If there are any, bring them over. Sanlang is killing them. That kid is quick and can kill fish more efficiently than Brother Ping." "
Qi Kangping's legs are almost healed now. Xiaoyu and Dr. Wu both said that he can walk properly with a cane. It was a busy day today, so Daya let him sit and help the family kill fish, wash meat and vegetables, but He worked slowly and was not very good at using the knife. The third mistress was afraid that he would not be able to kill all the fish in Daya's house.
"Hey, let's go to Sister Daya's house when we go back." Wang Ma said, picked the dried tofu to the kitchen porch, and said to Gu Jinli: "Little boss, we will put the dried tofu and fried tofu on the kitchen porch for you. .”
"Okay." Gu Jinli took a spoonful of the marinade and tasted it. He felt that the taste was strong enough and put down the spoon with satisfaction.
The four Wang and Ma family members put down their burdens and left carrying poles.
After a while, Mrs. Wang Ma and Mrs. Xu Wang picked out four more buckets of fish, placed them next to Qin Sanlang, and said to Gu Jinan: "Shaodong's family, these are the remaining fish from Sister Daya's family. They are all here."
Gu Jinan cut open the belly of the fish, took out the internal organs, and asked: "Is my aunt's family busy enough? Is there any work that hasn't been done?"
Wang Mashi said: "Sister Da Ya said that handling the fish is the most troublesome. The young master can just help her family get it done. Now they are roasting the duck."
Gu Jinan nodded: "Okay, you go back first, I don't need your help here."
Wang Ma and the others wanted to go back to the workshop to continue working. After hearing this, they poured four buckets of fish into the tank and left with the wooden buckets.
Qin Sanlang was busy at Gu Jinli's house until dark, then killed and chopped the remaining fish.
Gu Jinli remembered that today was Qin Sanlang's birthday, and thought that Mr. Qin and the others would not celebrate it for him, and he had been busy at her house for another day. It would be too much to leave no one behind for a meal, so he said: "Brother Qin, your family Come to my house for dinner tonight, I’ll prepare delicious food for you.”
The third grandma had prepared things for worship tomorrow and was washing rice and cooking. Hearing this, she said: "Yes, Sanlang, stay at home for dinner tonight. Everyone is busy today, and your family must not have cooked anything. It's your birthday again. Gotta have a good meal.”
