Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

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.
