Chapter 227 Sensing Something Odd, the Stove Was Sealed Strangely
Gu Ningning really likes to hug Su Niannian.
Su Niannian gently patted Gu Ningning's head.
"Is the beef ready yet?" Su Niannian asked Gu's mother.
"I've already chopped it into pieces and started cooking, but I haven't added the seasoning yet. I was thinking that yours would taste better than mine, and if you had come back any later, I probably would have already seasoned it," Gu's mother said with a smile.
Indeed, a wonderful aroma of meat was wafting from the kitchen.
Su Niannian smiled and released Gu Ningning.
"I'm going to make some braised meat," Su Niannian said, and went to the kitchen.
Gu Ningning skipped and hopped along with Su Niannian to the kitchen.
"It's hot in here, why don't you go outside and wait to eat?" Su Niannian gently stroked Gu Ningning's nose and said to her.
Gu Ningning shook her head. "It's cooler outside, but my second sister-in-law is still hot in the kitchen. I'll stay here with you." Gu Ningning said with a smile.
This touched Su Niannian a little. Gu Ningning was so sensible at such a young age. It was really good.
Then Su Niannian lifted the lid of the pot of simmering beef, and a unique aroma of beef wafted out.
Even though no seasonings have been added yet, it already smells delicious.
In those days of scarcity, it was already difficult enough to have enough to eat. But after Gu Nan got married, he was able to eat meat at every meal, which was something to be envied.
The neighbors, smelling the aroma of meat wafting from Gu Nan's house, couldn't help but sigh, "Gu Nan really married a good wife."
Su Niannian took the cooked beef chunks out of the pot and put them in a basin to wash away the blood foam.
Then heat oil in a wok, add scallions, ginger, star anise and other seasonings and sauté until fragrant, then add beef chunks and stir-fry.
After the beef changed color, more water was added and the mixture continued to simmer.
When the beef is almost cooked.
Su Niannian boiled water in another pot, and then added the noodles when the water boiled.
I added cold water twice during the process.
After boiling until it's about 70-80% cooked, take it out and rinse it in cold water.
The beef was almost ready, so Su Niannian put the noodles she had taken out into the beef.
By the time the noodles are fully cooked, they have absorbed all the beef broth.
Su Niannian took out five large bowls and filled them with beef noodles.
The taste is simply indescribably delicious.
Gu Nan and his mother came over to help carry the bowl of beef noodles out.
Each bowl contained plenty of beef.
Gu Ningning stared, her eyes wide with amazement.
After all, the beef noodles I ate at the state-run restaurant in the county town a few days ago only had a few pieces of meat in them.
And the beef noodles that Su Niannian made were made entirely of beef, okay?
"Look how greedy you are." Gu's mother smiled and said to Gu Ningning when she saw Gu Ningning staring intently at the beef noodles in front of her.
"Mom, it smells so good!" Gu Ningning's mouth was watering.
After serving five bowls of beef noodles, there was still a lot of beef left in the pot. Su Niannian ladled out another bowl of beef and placed it in the middle.
Gu Nan also carried his older brother out and placed him on a chair, with a chair placed under his legs.
Gu Zhendong's leg will probably need to be immobilized for at least a month.
During this period, it will probably be impossible to bend, which must be quite painful.
Su Niannian was thinking about whether to add some spiritual spring water to shorten the time when she couldn't bend, and then reduce the amount of spiritual spring water after she could bend again to lengthen the recovery time.
"Wow! So much beef in this beef noodle soup?" Gu Zhendong had eaten beef noodles outside before, and he was really shocked to see his bowl full of beef.
"Eat more meat, it's high in protein and will help you recover faster," Su Niannian said with a smile.
The group sat down and began to eat.
The beef noodles were so delicious, everyone was very satisfied with their meal.
Su Niannian's bowl was also very large, and she almost couldn't finish it in the end.
After dinner, Gu Nan went to wash the dishes, while Su Niannian went to clean the kitchen.
After the two finished, Gu Nan told his mother and then took Su Niannian out.
The two went out for a walk to digest their food.
When Gu Nan and Su Niannian came out, they happened to see the villagers returning home from work, and there were quite a few people coming and going.
But after a while, everyone on the road went home to cook and eat, and there weren't many people on the road anymore.
Gu Nan pulled Su Niannian and walked towards Li Guofu's house.
It was still that same big tree, and Gu Nan thought the spot was actually quite good in the afternoon.
From there, you can see the entire courtyard of Li Guofu.
So we decided to stay on that tree and observe the situation.
Gu Nan was the first to climb the tree, then entered the space and activated the external time flow.
Su Niannian doesn't need to climb trees; she can simply enter the space.
After Su Niannian entered the space, she and Gu Nan observed the situation in Li Guofu's yard on the screen on the table.
"This is a really good spot," Su Niannian praised, as it offered a perfect view of the entire courtyard.
The little guy then noticed someone entering the space, so he came running over again.
The little guy became very happy after seeing Su Niannian.
Gu Nan said he would keep an eye on the screen and told Su Niannian to go and rest for a while.
Su Niannian played with the little one for a while.
Until Gu Nan called out, "Niannian."
Su Niannian came over and followed Gu Nan's gaze to look at the scene on the table in front of her.
After watching for a while, Su Niannian also noticed the problem.
"There's a pot in the kitchen, but it doesn't seem to be used," Su Niannian pointed towards the kitchen in the picture.
At the very edge, near the stove, there's a pot that, though it's there, doesn't seem to have been used.
Li Guofu's family lives in very good conditions, so they cook a lot of dishes.
Seeing that the two pots next to it were too busy to keep up with the work, it seemed strange that there was an empty stove here that wasn't being used.
“Look closely, there’s not even a stove burner in that spot,” Gu Nan said to Su Niannian, pointing to the image on the table.
From this angle, although it's not very clear, there is definitely no stove hole for putting firewood.
"Is it possible on the other side?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan, pointing to the other side.
"I need to find an opportunity to go and take a look." Gu Nan wasn't sure either, but the kitchen did look a bit strange.
I need to find some time to go in and take a look.
Gu Nan and Su Niannian discussed it for a while. Gu Nan felt that there was probably no chance during the day, so they should wait until late at night when everyone was asleep and find an opportunity to climb over the wall and take a look.
Although it's a bit risky, we still have to go and see how things go.
If there really is something inside that sealed stove... then it would be like catching the culprit red-handed.
"Or should I go and see him directly? I can tell Li Guofu that I heard he's sick and I'd like to go and check on him?" Su Niannian suggested, not wanting Gu Nan to take any risks.
