Chapter 142: A Sumptuous Dinner (1)
Gu Qingyao did not have any inhibitions today, so she did her best for every dish .
She steamed the sausages and they were still steaming hot when she brought them out . Gu Jinlin almost drooled when he saw them glistening with oil as she sliced them .
The bacon was stir-fried with potatoes and their delicious scent was alluring!
The dried fish was soaked in water, then cut up and braised in soy sauce . The dried chicken was also braised in soy sauce . It was so satisfying to eat spicy food in the depths of winter .
She minced the mutton chops before boiling them into mutton soup on the stove, then she added cabbage and vermicelli .
She had considered that the two older folks preferred bacon, so she made the bacon less spicy .
Then she fried an omelette and laid out a platter of shelled peanuts . Scallion pancakes formed their staple . There were many people today, so she made four pots of scallion pancakes .
She cut up the pancakes, placed them in a small basket, and put it on the table in the main room .
When the table was set, Gu Jinlin’s eyes almost fell out of his head . There was chicken, fish, meat, eggs, a big pot of mutton soup, and a plate of shelled peanuts .
Shelled peanuts were extremely rare . Even very important old people might not be able to obtain them .
In fact, the table was full of rare items .
Even the scallion pancakes . This was the first time in his life that Gu Jinlin was eating scallion pancakes that glistened with so much oil . He could not help but gulp .
Lastly, Gu Qingyao brought out a bottle of Maotai . Gu Jinlin’s eyes grew even wider .

Gu Qingyao said, “Have a seat! Let’s eat!”
There were six of them – Gu Conghua, Wen Ruyu, Gu Yunshen, Mo Beihan, Gu Jinlin and Gu Qingyao . It was a little crowded when they all sat at the little table .
The large bowl of steaming hot mutton soup was the most popular . Mutton was a heaty food, and it warmed them as they drank mutton soup on a snowy day like this .
The soup had lots of cabbage and vermicelli, and could be considered a vegetable dish .
With a table full of good food and wine, it was difficult to remain in a bad mood!
Everyone sat down and their chopsticks kept moving until at last, they ran out of scallion pancakes . But Gu Yunshen refused to allow Gu Qingyao to make anymore . It was already late at night . A mouthful more or less made no difference .

Everyone drank the mutton soup and ate the dishes . At last, everything was gone, even the mutton soup .
Gu Jinlin burped contentedly . He felt that this was the most satisfying meal of his life .
He was so full he could barely move, but he still sighed, “What a waste!”
Many people did not get such nice things to eat in an entire year!
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Mo Beihan: “…”

It was completely dark outside . Today, the wind was stronger and blew in several directions, which was why Gu Qingyao had made so many dishes . The wind blew the aroma away, and it dispersed in the air .
It was late, and Mo Beihan needed to go home . Gu Qingyao poured the mutton soup she had saved in a ceramic jar, sealed it, and handed it to Mo Beihan .
“I prepared this for Aunt Jiang and the two children . It’s still warm . Give it to them to warm them up . ”
Mo Beihan did not refuse . He looked at what he was holding, then glanced at her . He mentally calculated that this little girl would be 16 years old in 6 days’ time .
“Wait a moment, I have something for you . ”
Gu Qingyao left Mo Beihan waiting while she ran to her room and brought out a scarf and a parcel . She put the black scarf around Mo Beihan, then handed him the parcel and said, “The scarf is for you . The parcel contains quilted jackets for Chengrui and Chengxu, and there’s a muffler for Aunt Jiang . She can wear it around her neck to keep it warm in winter . ”
