Chapter 82: Dinner Party At the Mo House (2)
Mo Chengrui did not know what to say when he looked at Gu Qingyao .
He knew his uncle was especially close to this elder sister . Since Uncle did not say anything, he did not dare to say anymore, and let Gu Qingyao have her way . The children were all good workers and they quickly finished cleaning the fish and prawns . Mo Beihan went to start the fire while Gu Qingyao was in charge of the cooking .
The small lobsters would naturally be cooked in hot and spicy sauce .
It was late autumn, and it was rare to be able to get small lobsters at this time . It would probably be the last time this year .
Not all the prawns were small lobsters . There were also some shrimp and Gu Qingyao cooked them all together .
She had plenty of resources at hand and naturally added oil freely . Would it not be a shame to stint on oil when frying the lobsters?
At that moment, the children and Jiang Yingqiu were not in the kitchen . It was just her and Mo Beihan, so she added plenty of oil .
Mo Beihan was tending the fire, but he was keeping a close eye on Gu Qingyao’s every move . He saw Gu Qingyao add an entire ladle of oil to the pan .
In these times, people were especially thrifty and could not bear to use too much oil when they cooked . They usually added just enough to coat the pan to ensure the food did not stick . They definitely did not use oil the way Gu Qingyao did .
The lobsters needed seasoning . Gu Qingyao had some, so she added plenty . She could not add bay leaves and mashed garlic as she did in her previous life, because they could be easily identified at a glance . But since she was making a hot and spicy sauce, she could add some common seasonings like chili, pepper and prickly ash powder, which were not easily seen .
She could not add beer, so she added a little white wine . This could be found in Mo Beihan’s house . He even had Maotai .
Mo Beihan was observing her closely . In these times, people seldom paid as much attention to cooking as Gu Qingyao did . In fact, no one in the village was as particular as she was .
Although he observed it all, he did not say anything .

She cooked the small lobsters in a pan, and made fish soup in another large pot .
She made fish braised in soy sauce, just like she had at the small fish pond . She added soy sauce to improve the flavor .
The Mo family had quite a few resources since Mo Beihan had been home for some time . Gu Qingyao added two eggs to freshen the palate .
As always, she made pancakes and cooked them on the sides of the pan . They were actually like pot stickers stuffed with small fish . Gu Qingyao had given herself free reign when making these .
There were more people today, so she made three pots of rye pancakes before she stopped .
Jiang Yingqiu was older and in poor health . Gu Qingyao boiled a slightly bigger fish on a small stove, and made a light fish broth, to which she added wild mushrooms .

These were the ones she and Mo Beihan had picked on the mountain previously . The Mo family still had some .
The fragrance made the children drool . They all ran to the kitchen door and stretched the necks around the door to peer inside .
Gu Qingyao laughed . “Bring the table out . The food is ready . ”
“Oh oh oh…”
They cheered as they hurried to move the table .
The dishes were simple, but there was plenty . Gu Qingyao put the food in basins, then brought them out and placed them on the table outside .

Meanwhile, Mo Beihan tasted the light fish broth that Gu Qingyao had made just for his mother . The broth was light, but incredibly tasty .
The moment he tasted it, he could discern a familiar taste from his previous life .
The spring water from her interspace!
It looked as if some changes had happened in this world and Yao Yao’s interspace had appeared earlier .
Her living interspace’s environment was better than that of the outside world . The spring water was sweeter than in the real world, and more nourishing .
Later, she even developed it into a medicinal spring, and the effect was even better .
