When she came out of the room, Grandma Wen Ruyu was almost done washing the clothes and was about to hang them up to dry.
Gu Qingyao said, "Grandma, are you hungry? I'll cook for you. Brother Beihan bought some steamed buns and braised pork from the state-run restaurant. He brought back the rest. "
Hearing that there would be meat, even Grandma Wen Ruyu couldn't help but look forward to it. Wen Ruyu had lived a good life since she was young. Unfortunately, she had suffered a lot in these years because of this era.
In this era, people could only eat meat at the end of the year when they killed pigs and distributed the meat. Usually, the meat in the grocery store not only required money but also coupons. Even so, they might not be able to buy it.
If it weren't for Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle, the Gu family wouldn't be able to afford to eat these things.
However, because of this era, even if the Gu family had such conditions, it was still rare for them to eat meat.
Wen Ruyu smiled when she heard that. "Okay, you can just heat up a steamed bun. I can't eat much by myself."
Gu Qingyao went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there was a rural stove, the kind used for burning firewood. There was also a stove next to it. However, the weather wasn't cold and the stove was useless, so it just sat there.
Gu Qingyao added water to the pot and lit the fire. Then she took two steamed buns and braised pork and put them in the steamer to heat up together.
Looking at the packed red braised pork, Gu Qingyao took two large spoonfuls from her interspace and added them while her grandmother was outside.
She had a lot of cooked food in her space, and braised pork was one of them. It wasn't easy to eat meat at home, so she wanted to take the opportunity to let Grandma eat more.
After that, she took about half a kilogram of pork ribs and added them to the pork ribs she bought. She washed them and marinated them with some salt. Then she went to deal with the fish.
At this moment, Wen Ruyu came in and was shocked when she saw the pork ribs and the big fish.
"You bought all these? Oh my! This is really rare. These things can't be bought even if you want to! "
Gu Qingyao smiled. "We were lucky today. We bought them at the grocery store. When we went there, there was only one fish and these pork ribs left, so we bought them all."
Wen Ruyu smiled. "Good, good, good! Marinate them with salt so that when your father and grandfather come back, they can eat some meat. There's a lot of pork ribs! When the time comes, we can add some radishes and cabbages. It'll be enough for a few meals. "
In this era, there was a shortage of resources. Regarding meat, whether it was fat, lean, pork belly, or pork ribs, in people's minds, it could be stewed in a big pot with radishes and cabbages. This way, everyone in the family could get some oil and taste some meat.
Gu Qingyao didn't refute. She wasn't ready to change her grandmother's mind at once. Anyway, she had the space. She wouldn't let her grandmother suffer in the future!
Grandma was a person who had enjoyed a good life. In the future, when the conditions were better, she would naturally adapt.
Gu Qingyao carried the fish to the well to clean it. By the time she finished killing the fish, Wen Ruyu had finished eating and came out. The braised pork was soft and tender and melted in her mouth. Wen Ruyu was very satisfied.
She carried a basket and a small hoe and was about to work in the vegetable field.
At this time, every family had some private land to plant some vegetables. These vegetables were also the farmers' food. Most people didn't have enough food to eat, so they relied on these vegetables to survive for half a year.
Gu Qingyao saw this and said, "Grandma, I'll go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables later. I'll see if I can pick some mushrooms and wood ears. I'll also bring some dry firewood back."
Wen Ruyu said, "Forget about the firewood. You can't carry it. Be careful when you go up the mountain!"
