Chapter 1712: Shredded Pork in Beijing Sauce 6
Back at the residence, Doctor Guo was at work, not at home, and Gu Mei and Gu Min had gone to school.
School hours vary across different regions, and in rural areas, the opening and closing of schools are even more random. They have breaks during farming seasons, and school durations vary, so it’s not fixed. That’s why Ye Yan and Fubao, the siblings, were on holiday and came to play. Meanwhile, the military school on the island was still having classes, but from the chatter around, the holiday was soon to start.
After breakfast, Feng Qingxue handed a basket to Lu Erxiong, "Go to Aunt Gu’s place and pick a few cucumbers and tomatoes, and ask for a few eggplants. Tell Aunt Gu to come over for lunch, we will be cooking a meal for her."
Having said that, Feng Qingxue also called Ye Yan and Fubao to follow along, as they were older and less likely to get lost.
In fact, Gu Tian’s house was just in front of Doctor Guo’s house, with only a two-story building in between, which was Commander Mo’s house. Lu Erxiong could have found it alone, but Feng Qingxue wasn’t entirely assured.
Aunt Guo, upon hearing this, brought over some rice, flour, grains, oil, and vegetables from home to help out.
They killed a chicken and fish, steamed buns, and cooked rice.
Cooking for more than a dozen people was no small undertaking.
The old hen was stewed first, with only a bit of old ginger, and no other seasonings were added.
