Chapter 410 Food Delivery
Zhou Sanyuan's family put their hands on their hips and shouted, "Why are there eighteen people? It's twelve. We only hired twelve people to work! There are already thirteen people, which is more than enough. How can it not be enough? Little girl, do you know how to count?"
Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows, "You still have six people, aren't you going to eat lunch?"
Zhou Sanyuan's family was speechless, his eyes rolled around, and he muttered quietly: "We didn't work much, how much can we eat?"
Zhou Guo said calmly, "I remember I said that no matter how much each family brings, only a few people will get some. Since you gave it to thirteen people, then what you carry back is only for thirteen people."
In short, don't try to take advantage.
Zhou Sanyuan's wife jumped up and down, "I gave enough. Why is it for thirteen people? People in my family don't eat much, unlike you. This is enough."
Zhou Guo stopped looking at her and lowered his head to work. "I'm not interested in knowing whether your family has a big appetite. Anyway, I've already said this. Everyone's food is rationed. There's no extra for you. If you eat less, then eat less."
"Why don't you listen to me, kid? The other families brought so much food that they definitely can't finish it. What's wrong with giving us some more?"
Zhou Guo said: "Each family doesn't have much, and even if they do, they won't give it to you. If you want to take these things back, you can take them back by yourself. I can't do this for you."
Zhou Sanyuan's mouth moved, but knowing that she could do what she said, she dared not say anything more.
The other women couldn't help but smile, and after looking at each other, they lowered their heads and started washing vegetables tacitly. They had lived in the same village for so many years, and she had mostly taken advantage of them. Now seeing her being humiliated, they were really happy from the bottom of their hearts.
In addition to the dishes, each family also had to bring oil, salt and seasonings. If they had them, they would just take more food, or just give money directly, which could be considered as a subsidy for the Zhou family's seasonings.
Zhou Guo did not refuse. Seasonings and other things were not cheap, more expensive than meat. She couldn't spend money on them for nothing.
Fried tofu and stewed meat slices, when it is simmering, add some fresh wild vegetables, the aroma is fragrant.
The cold-mixed bracken, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and pine mushroom powder are mixed in a big pot. It looks very appetizing.
The ladies of the families looked at her exposed hands and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. "Really, after living for most of my life, I can't even cook as good as a child. It's so fragrant. They all look the same, but they smell different."
"Then how is it the same? Did you put so much oil? So much salt? You were willing to put soy sauce and vinegar. I can see that this is not eating the food, it's just eating the seasoning. No wonder it tastes so good and everyone who eats it praises it. If I had these, maybe I could make it taste so good too."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Aunts, there's no rush. There are still so many days to go. I'll just cook today and you can try the following dishes. You can use any of these seasonings you want."
Anyway, we gave them money and food.
Everyone was embarrassed and waved their hands, saying, "How can that be possible? I have never used these things before and I don't know how to use them."
Zhou Guo said: "You may not use it now, but you may use it in the future. These are just seasonings, just like salt, you just put them in the dishes to make them taste better. Don't you want to try it?"
We all started cooking when we were seven or eight years old. After cooking for so many years, how could we not want to try these new and novel seasonings? I don’t know if my dishes can be as delicious as Zhou Guo’s by using these seasonings?
Once the steamed buns are done, you can start eating.
People from each family came to serve rice and dishes, and left happily with their own portions. This fragrance could usually only be smelled during banquets!
Zhou Guo also divided out the portion for Zhou Sanyuan's family and said to Zhou Sanyuan who came to serve the dishes: "Uncle, this is your portion."
Zhou Sanyuan saw that there were so few of them. He looked at her for a few times, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I didn't cut any corners. Everyone is watching. My aunt only brought enough for thirteen people, so I can only give you this much. Each family has a fixed amount. I can't take the food from others, right?"
Zhou Sanyuan smiled unnaturally, glanced at her wife, and moved her things away with her two children.
Zhou Sanyuan's wife curled her lips, stamped her feet, and followed behind with the steamed bun.
After they left, it was time to have dinner at home.
Everyone happily and lively got water from the well, washed their hands and faces, took their bowls, picked up two steamed buns, scooped up half a bowl of vegetables, found a place to squat, or sat on a stool, or just sat down somewhere, and gathered together to eat the delicious meal.
After eating, I drank a bowl of bone soup with chopped green onions, and my whole body felt relaxed.
There was plenty of steamed buns, and there was some left over after the meal.
Zhou Guo and his friends waited until they finished eating before they started eating. They scooped out the food they wanted to eat in advance to avoid being left with nothing after they finished eating.
Zhou Xing said: "Aunt Sanyuan's family brought so little food, I guess I have to cook a meal at home. There are so many people in their family, how can this be enough to eat."
Zhou Guo said, "Who cares? I've already informed them in advance. They will share as much as they bring. I can't use the food from other families to subsidize their family. It's not like they're building houses for all of us."
Li shook her head, "Let's not meddle in other people's business, let's eat."
At night, everything was quiet and most of the people in the village were asleep.
Zhou Sanyuan's house was not peaceful, and the noise made the neighbors uneasy, but everyone was secretly listening with their ears perked up, as it would be a waste not to listen to the noise.
"What did I tell you yesterday? We're working, building a house, just like during the busy farming season. It's such hard work, how can you not eat enough?! I'm telling you, if you only prepare this much tomorrow, our family won't be able to eat! You won't be able to eat either!!"
A sharp voice rang out, "Oh my God, who am I doing this for? It's not for you, for this family!! I want to save some money, so that the children can eat better and live a good life soon!! I don't want to live anymore, I get up early and work late like a top, but in the end I can't get any good results, what's the point of living, I might as well just die!!"
Everyone listened with an audible sigh, their eyes sparkling in the darkness.
The news that Zhou Sanyuan's family was very stingy and could not even get enough to eat even though they worked spread throughout the village overnight.
On the second day, before lunch was ready, more than a dozen family members who worked at Zhou Sanyuan's house came, carrying food in their hands, and openly called their men to come over to eat. They also said to Zhou Sanyuan's family, who had stiff faces, "It's okay, it's okay. Our boss has a big appetite and gets hungry quickly. I'll feed him a couple of mouthfuls first, and then we can eat your delicious food later."
"Yes, yes. Our boss got up too early and didn't eat much in the morning. I thought lunch would be a while away, so I brought it to him first so that he could eat something. Otherwise, he would fall down while doing such heavy work on an empty stomach. You guys continue to work, and we will just have a simple meal."
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, shining on the earth.
