Gu Yundong stroked the little girl's fluffy hair, and said with a smile, "You'll know when your eldest sister makes it later."
Gu Yunke swallowed, "It must be delicious."
After walking to the kitchen, Gu Yundong first took two apples, cut them, placed them on a plate, and handed them to Gu Yunke who had followed her in. "Take them to the main room to eat with brother and mother."
"What is this?" The little girl curiously looked at the moist apple slices arranged in a circle, stretched out her little finger, and touched it gently.
Gu Yundong found her so cute acting like that so she directly picked a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. "This is an apple. It's really delicious, but it's quite expensive. Don't waste it, alright? "
Gu Yunke chewed. It was crunchy and juicy, sweeter than wild jujubes. Her round eyes immediately lit up. She grabbed another slice with her little hands and nibbled it bit by bit.
"Go." Gu Yundong pushed her, and the little girl took the plate and went to find her brother.
Gu Yundong rolled up her sleeves, stuffed two large pieces of firewood under the stove, and then washed the rice before cooking it.
Then she washed a cucumber to make a refreshing cucumber salad.
She didn't dare to add chili pepper. Moreover, children couldn't eat it.
After that, she cut the eggplant, took a small half piece of meat, chopped it up, and made eggplant with minced meat.
Then she started to beat three eggs inside a large bowl, sprinkled some chopped green and yellow onions on top before steaming them; the colors were bright. It looked very appetising.
Immediately after, she started cooking braised pork. She had bought pork belly for twenty-five copper coins per catty. The meat in Xuanhe City was very expensive.
Gu Yundong had known how to cook since she was a child, and she would treat herself from time to time. Although her cooking skills were not as good as those of chefs in big restaurants, they were not bad either.
Therefore, as soon as Madam Ke entered the courtyard, she smelled the strong fragrance, and she swallowed subconsciously.
She followed the smell to the kitchen and saw Gu Yundong who was busy cooking.
Then she saw the few dishes on the table next to her, and suddenly, she couldn't move her feet.
Gu Yundong saw her as soon as she turned around. She wiped her hands and said, "Madam is back, you can go rest for a while. I'll make some soup and then we can eat."
Madam Ke tried her best to look away and restrain her face. She then said with a straight face, "It's still early, take your time while cooking. I'll just eat noodles, it will be quick."
Gu Yundong smiled, "Madam saying this is not right. You worked so hard to cook dinner for our family of four yesterday. how can I let you eat only noodles, all by yourself? Let's eat together later. I included you when I started cooking. If you don't eat, it will go to waste."
Madam Ke glanced at her and walked away with her hands behind her back. As she walked, she muttered, "How can it go to waste ?! If you can't finish it at lunch, can't you still eat it at dinner? This young girl, I don't know what to say to you."
After saying her piece, she went straight to her room, while Gu Yundong did not know how to react.
Was this a promise? Did she agree?
Never mind, forget it, she turned around and cooked the last dish, winter melon and tofu soup.
After the soup was ready and put in a bowl, she saw her family poking their three heads out of the kitchen door, their noses twitching and breathing avidly.
Gu Yundong held back her smile and asked Gu Yunshu to call Madam Ke, so she could eat with them.
Gu Yunshu turned around hurriedly but, as soon as he took two steps, Madam Ke was already there.
She walked directly in front of Gu Yundong, and said with a serious face, "Hold out your hand, this is for you."
