Chapter 223 The 1st Family Meeting
Seeing that Xifeng was also confused, Gu Sihe's eyes rolled around and he smiled knowingly.
"Brother, what you mean is that we can't choose to starve ourselves just because we're afraid of choking?"
Gu Damao stroked his soft hair and praised him with great satisfaction: "Yes, Sihe has made progress."
Gu Sihe became even happier with the compliments, and as a child he spoke without restraint, he had no idea that his words might hurt Xifeng.
"Brother, how can there be such a fool? He even trips over his heels when walking. He can't just crawl everywhere, right?"
The three of them laughed out loud at his seriousness.
Xifeng laughed and suddenly understood Sihe's subtext, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
After mumbling a thank you, she buried her face in the bowl and began to eat in small bites.
Listening to the laughter in the room, Wu pulled up her sleeves to wipe away her tears and sighed, "I don't know how long it has been since I heard Xifeng laugh so happily. Thank you so much, Sister Lin."
Lin Qing smiled and said, "That's easy. If Xifeng likes it here, you can bring her here every day. Otherwise, if you leave her alone at home, you won't be able to work peacefully."
Wu was stunned: "How can this be possible?"
These days, having more people to feed is a big pressure for wealthy families, not to mention that the Gu family has four hungry sons to feed.
Even if they brought rice and flour, it would still be a confusing matter. If you calculate it carefully, it would definitely be Sister Lin who suffered the loss.
"Sister, I know you have good intentions, but we can't take advantage of you for nothing. We're already thankful that you prepared lunch for us today..."
Gu Ermiao received a look from his mother and hurriedly interrupted Wu.
"Aunt Wu, since Mother said this, she must be absolutely sure. You don't have to worry about anything else. Eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon."
Songni smelled the meat and started to swallow his saliva, but he couldn't open his mouth to eat until his wife finished her polite words.
Although their family also received pork as a betrothal gift from the Jia family, the couple only drank the broth and tacitly gave most of it to their daughter.
Now seeing such a big piece of pork in the bowl, Songni's hands, which never trembled when he worked, became a little unsteady due to excitement.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first."
As soon as Mrs. Wu finished speaking, Songni picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
With just one bite, he was completely overwhelmed by the soft, glutinous and rich taste of the rich soup. He ate several pieces in succession before stopping.
Over the years, the couple has traveled far and wide, and has seen a lot of food. It is no exaggeration to say that Miss Lin's cooking skills are no less than those of the world-famous chef of Heyang Mansion!
I took another bite of the noodles and was surprised to find that it tasted so strange.
It tastes like noodles, but not like noodles. It is slippery, soft, firm, chewy and pliable.
Wu was also surprised and asked, "Sister Lin, what are you cooking? I've never seen it before! And this meat, can you please teach me how to make it so delicious?"
Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and went back to the stove, taking out three or four potatoes.
They discussed for a few more sentences, then lowered their heads and started eating in silence.
Songni originally wanted to eat only one bowl, but he could not resist Lin Qing's enthusiastic persuasion and did not stop until his belly was full.
Seeing that most of the potato flour in the bowl had gone into his stomach, he wiped his mouth in embarrassment and said, "No, no, no, I haven't even started working and I've eaten so much. If this gets out, I'll be laughed at!"
Mrs. Wu also said shyly: "Old man, are you a starving ghost reincarnated? I never see you eat so much at home!"
"Sister Lin's cooking is so delicious, I can't help it!"
Lin Qing smiled. She naturally had her own selfish motives for doing this.
She knew that craftsmen at that time valued their cooking skills very much and would generally only pass them on to their disciples or descendants.
"To be honest, I'm doing this for my own child. After all, Sanmu is still learning a craft from Brother Songni. If you have enough to eat and drink, Sanmu can learn more."
Songni smiled innocently when he heard this.
"Sister Lin, you are so polite. Sanmu is smart and quick to learn. If he can really work with me, I will be very lucky!"
There is no parent in the world who doesn't like to hear others praise their children. Lin Qing smiled and looked at Sanmu who was concentrating on eating: "I'm glad that Sanmu can help!"
In this case, why not take advantage of the family meeting tonight to ask Sanmu that if he really wants to learn this craft, he must become Songni's apprentice.
After lunch, the day's work went smoothly.
The preparations for loosening the mud and making adobe bricks were almost done. When the sun was setting, they hurriedly pulled Xifeng away, fearing that Lin Qing would keep them for dinner again.
At this time, Gu Changqing and Gu Damao had also finished revising the article and were waiting for Lin Qing to review it.
When the children received Lin Qing's notice that they were going to hold a "family meeting", they were all confused.
In the bright main hall, Lin Qing sat on the east side of the octagonal table. Below him were Gu Sihe, Gu Ermiao, and Gu Changqing sitting in the first row, while the others who were slightly taller sat in the back row.
Gu Changqing was both nervous and excited about being able to attend the "family meeting", but Lin Qing's next words made his heart rise to his throat.
"The first item of the meeting is to review the articles by Gu Damao and Gu Changqing."
