“That’s enough. Did you cook all these dishes?” Zhou Ying asked.
Because these dishes looked neat and smelled good, it was likely that the taste was great, too.
“I cooked the dishes, and my daughter-in-law made the flower rolls.”
Zhou Ying nodded and said, “They look lovely. You may leave. Make sure the food for the guards is decent, too. At the very least, make sure that there’s a meat and a vegetable dish each.”
“I understand.” Mrs. Hu responded and turned to walk out.
After she left, Zhou Ying called Niu Lirong and Mrs. Lin over. “There’s a lot of food here. Let’s eat together.”
The two of them glanced at Gu Chengrui after hearing that. Seeing that he did not object, they sat down.
However, the two of them did not eat much at first. Instead, they only took care of the family of three. Only when they were almost done eating did they officially start eating.
Zhou Ying put down her chopsticks and nodded with satisfaction. Although the dishes were not as delicious as those of the restaurant because of the seasoning, they were still great.
At the very least, they tasted better than those cooked by Xiaxiang and Dongxiang.
“Why, are you interested in her cooking skills?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“It’s better that we don’t separate their family.” Zhou Ying shook her head.
Gu Chengrui knew after listening that although Mrs. Hu’s cooking was not bad, it was not to the extent that she was worth the effort to transfer her.
He looked at Niu Lirong and said, “Ask for more charcoal from Mrs. Hu later for our braziers.”
“Understood.” Niu Lirong nodded. She and Mrs. Lin cleared the table and sent the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui brought Guoguo out of the courtyard.
Coincidentally, Gu Chengrui heard the sound of a hen laying eggs. He looked at Guoguo and asked, “Let’s go see the goose, shall we?”
“Goose, what is it?” Guoguo turned her head and asked.
“You’ll know when you see it. Gooses are amazing. Let’s go for a walk.” Gu Chengrui looked at Zhou Ying after he finished speaking.
“Yes.” Zhou Ying responded and wrapped Guoguo tightly to avoid her getting a cold.
Soon, the family of three walked up the mountain.
As soon as they entered the mountain forest, they saw chickens, ducks, and geese leisurely looking for food.
When the goose saw them coming, it immediately flapped its wings and pounced toward them.
After Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying kicked one away, Zhou Ying saw a bamboo pole at the side, so she picked it up and chased the goose away.
At the same time, Gu Chengrui pointed at the big goose and said to Guoguo, “Did you see that? That white one is the big goose. It’s fierce. It wanted to bite us just now.
“The gray ones with flat beaks were ducks. They were the ones who made your favorite roast duck.
“As for the bright one…”
“Chicken, big rooster!” Guoguo answered.
“Yes, it’s a rooster. Tell me, what’s the difference between a rooster and a hen?”
“The rooster is beautiful and big. It has a red hat on its head.”
“Smart girl. Take a good look at the similarities and differences between geese and ducks.”
“The goose is big and white. The duck is ugly and has a flat mouth.”
“Awesome, you remembered it so quickly.
“Take a good look again and see what the similarities are.” Gu Chengrui said.
Guoguo looked at them seriously for a long time before saying, “Their legs are different from the rooster’s.”
“Right, their claws are webbed.
“It’s because they can swim.”
“What is swimming?”
“Swimming is moving in the water so that you don’t sink.”
“How do I not sink?”
“Daddy will teach you tomorrow, okay?” Gu Chengrui asked.
“Why can’t chickens swim…”
“Why is the duck the ugliest? Roast duck is obviously the most delicious.”
“Why don’t geese get angry at chickens and ducks?”
