I can relax.

　　If Uncle Wang had always thought it through and spent money to buy meat, the old couple would have been so anxious that they would have said that Uncle Wang didn’t know how to live. But that would have been easy to deal with. They could have just put the blame on Wang Ergou and said that your son wanted to eat meat and drink wine, and if he didn’t, he would beat him. The parents-in-law are so old that they can’t bear it.

　　If Wang Ergou wants to drink, just buy some and drink as much as he can until he dies.

　　But the concentration of this alcohol is not high now. If there is white wine, it would be great to perforate Wang Ergou’s stomach. Gu Zhao shook his head in disappointment and rubbed the clothes.

　　He was trying to add fuel to the fire, but seeing how Uncle Wang was cowering, he was probably not going to be able to do anything about it.

　　in vain.

　　The second acre of land required much more practice and could be finished in one or two days. The weather was hot these days, so fermentation could be completed in three days and it was easy to do. After the wheat straw was burned, there was no ash, so Gu Zhao thought that the damp and rotten mud in the mountains could be used as fertilizer, and the dry grass growing nearby could be burned and used as ash.

　　Three acres, four acres, five acres of land, they were busy like this. Later, because of the hot weather, weeds grew in the fields, so they weeded out when applying fertilizer.

　　During this period, Gu Zhao never met Uncle Wang again, but he heard from the villagers that Wang Ergou was not a human being. He was always noisy and swearing at people, asking for money, drinking and beating people at home.

　　It seems that nothing has changed.

　　At the end of March, after a whole month of sunny weather, it rained and the temperature dropped sharply.

　　”Husband, please put some fire.”

　　Li Zhouzhou was making dumplings in the kitchen. He and his father had been busy this month, and his husband was also not idle, taking care of the family and their studies. Now that it was raining and the ground was wet, it was difficult to fertilize. He could take a few days off, so he decided to prepare something that his father and husband would like to eat, so that they could have some meat to replenish their body.

　　Raindrops were dripping under the eaves, and soon the sound became louder and turned into heavy rain.

　　Gu Zhao sat in front of the stove and lit a fire. There was half a chicken stewed in the pot, bubbling and emitting a fragrant aroma.

　　Last time I bought some spices, I wanted to try making braised dishes, but I was busy working on the fertilizer in the fields and had no time to spare. Now that it’s raining, I finally have some time to spare.

　　Today, Li Zhouzhou stewed the chicken as his husband said. He greased the pan with lard, put a small piece of brown sugar in it and melted it, then poured in the chicken pieces that had been blanched with ginger slices. After stirring it twice, the chicken turned red and looked good. Pour in the sauce, stir-fry it a few more times, and add wine.

　　After the chicken is covered, add spices, bay leaves, cinnamon, chopped grass, hay, cardamom, etc. After it boils, add the tofu. The tofu will be more flavorful if it is stewed for a longer time.

　　Simmer on low heat for about twenty minutes, then add the cabbage.

　　Li Zhouzhou took the opportunity to make dumplings. His husband said he wanted to eat dumplings with pickled cabbage and pork filling, so he mixed some tofu in it to make it more refreshing. The dumplings were beautifully folded, and he put them on the steamer one by one without rushing to cook them.

　　Rice is simmering in the back stove and chicken is stewing in the front stove.

　　The time was almost up, Li Zhouzhou opened the lid of the pot, and a fragrant aroma hit his face, it was so delicious.

　　The aroma is different from the previous stewed chicken.

　　Not to mention Li Zhouzhou, even Li Da, who was chopping wood in the yard, was too busy to do anything. He put down his axe, dusted off his hands and went into the kitchen. “What is Zhouzhou doing?”

　　Dad rarely comes to ask what’s cooking.

　　Li Zhouzhou knew that his father had also smelled it, the smell was so fragrant, so he said, “Dad, this is the method my husband suggested last time. I bought the marinade ingredients. This is my first time trying it and I don’t know if it tastes good or not.”

　　The aroma was so fragrant that Gu Zhao felt that even if it was not the original braised chicken, it was much more fragrant than the current method.

　　”Let’s eat.” Li Da said.

　　Li Zhouzhou sprinkled salt and added the cabbage, while he served the rice and ate. When the rice was served, the chicken that had been stewing in the pot was ready, so he poured the chicken into a full basin, added cold water to the pot, and put the steamer for buns on it.

　　”Hmm~ It’s so delicious, Zhou Zhou~” Gu Zhao gave his wife a thumbs up. It was really delicious.

　　The chicken is tender and tasty, and even the soup and rice are fragrant and sizzling.

　　Li Zhouzhou was delighted and looked at his father. Li Da was eating his meal and had no time to talk, but the food looked delicious. He ate up all the juices in the meal.
