Chapter 245 Chicken Soup Made by Gu Yanqing
"Sister! Look, I caught another one!" Shen Nianle raised her hand excitedly and shouted.
"Xiao Le, you're awesome! Keep catching more and I'll make different flavors for you guys."
While praising, Shen Nian quickly grabbed one and threw it into the bamboo basket.
"Wow! Xiaole, you are so awesome! I don't even dare to catch you!" Ye Jiaojiao looked at Shen Nianle with admiration and praised him.
As Shen Nianle threw the crayfish in his hand into the bamboo basket, he responded to Ye Jiaojiao: "Sister Jiaojiao! Don't be afraid, just pinch his back with your hands, and he won't be able to pinch you!"
When he looked up, he saw Yan Qing walking to their bridge, and he called out to him again, "Yan Zhiqing! Where are you going?"
Yan Qing looked at the two adults and four children who all looked up at him. There was also a big one who didn't even raise his head. He was concentrating on grabbing something and throwing it into the bamboo basket one by one.
Gu Yanqing explained, "I'm going to the back mountain to see if I can catch a rabbit. Xiaole, what are you guys catching?"
When he heard that they were going to the back mountain to catch rabbits, Shen Nian paused his hand that was catching crayfish, looked up and quickly glanced at Gu Yanqing.
"We are catching crayfish!" Shen Nianle said, holding up a crayfish that he had just caught with his quick eyes and hands.
Gu Yanqing looked at the lobster in Shen Nianle's hand and asked hesitantly, "Is this thing... edible? Is there meat?"
Shen Nianle nodded: "It's edible! But there's not much meat!"
After Shen Nianle finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to catch crayfish. As he did so, he said to Gu Yanqing, "Yan Zhiqing, do you want to come down and try it too? Catching crayfish is fun!"
Gu Yanqing watched Shen Nianle and his group having a lot of fun catching people, and he felt a little tempted.
But when he looked at Shen Nian, who had just glanced at him and then continued to catch crayfish, he finally shook his head and rejected the idea of joining them.
"I'll catch them with you guys next time. I want to go to the back mountain to take a look today." Gu Yanqing said softly.
"Okay, then Yan Zhiqing, be careful when you go to the back mountain. There are wild boars on the mountain!" Shen Nianle looked at Gu Yanqing and reminded him with concern.
Gu Yanqing nodded to indicate that he had remembered it, and then continued walking towards the back mountain.
From time to time, he could hear the laughter of Shen Nianle and others behind him, as well as the screams of people who were probably caught by crayfish.
When they came down from the mountain, Gu Yanqing was holding a pheasant in his hand. When they passed the river, Shen Nian and the others were no longer in the river.
Gu Yanqing carried the pheasant back to the Youth League compound. Most of the educated youth had eaten and returned to their houses to rest, while a few sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
When the educated youth saw Gu Yanqing coming back with a pheasant, their expressions changed slightly.
"Comrade Yan, did you catch the pheasant in the back mountain?" Zhu Jiajun looked at the chicken in Gu Yanqing's hand, his eyes rolling around.
Gu Yanqing glanced at him indifferently, hummed, and went into the kitchen.
Zhu Jiajun quickly followed: "Comrade Yan, let me boil some water for you!"
Gu Yanqing tilted his head slightly and glanced at Zhu Jiajun with a half-smile, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing that Gu Yanqing did not refuse him, Zhu Jiajun immediately went to the stove to boil water.
In the kitchen, Gu Yanqing expertly prepared the pheasant with neat and efficient movements. Zhu Jiajun watched from the side, a flicker of jealousy in his eyes.
This new guy doesn't look any more manly than me, but I didn't expect him to be able to catch a pheasant in the back mountain! He's so lucky!
After a while, Gu Yanqing cleaned the pheasant. He chopped the chicken into small pieces and prepared to stew it in soup.
Seeing this, Zhu Jiajun hurriedly offered to help light the fire. Gu Yanqing did not refuse, but nodded lightly.
He knew that Zhu Jiajun was so diligent in helping him just because he wanted to get some benefits from him.
As the aroma of the chicken soup wafted out, Zhu Jiajun, who was standing by, couldn't help swallowing.
He flattered Gu Yanqing and praised her, "Yan Zhiqing, your cooking skills are really good! This chicken soup tastes so good!"
Gu Yanqing nodded lightly, thinking to himself: It's meat, not to mention it's chicken, how can it not be delicious?
Seeing Gu Yanqing's indifferent attitude, Zhu Jiajun didn't care. Anyway, he would definitely have a share of the meat later!
The aroma of chicken soup spread throughout the educated youth compound, attracting the attention of many educated youth.
Some educated youth sat directly in the yard, staring at the kitchen, their eyes full of longing.
As it got dark, Gu Yanqing's chicken was stewed. He took a basin and scooped all the chicken soup into it.
After cleaning the stove, he prepared to leave with the basin.
Zhu Jiajun watched his movements, stunned for a few seconds. Was this guy going to hide and eat alone again? Had he worked so hard for so long, all for nothing?
Gu Yanqing felt Zhu Jiajun's gaze and left a sentence, "It's in the pot on the stove," and then left the kitchen.
When Zhu Jiajun heard what he said, he quickly opened the lid of the pot on the stove. There was indeed a bowl of chicken in the pot. He quickly took the chicken out.
When did this person leave it for him? He stayed in the kitchen the whole time and didn't see it!
Zhu Jiajun used chopsticks to pick up the chicken in the bowl, and his face instantly darkened.
This Yan Zhiqing is really stingy! I did so much work for him, and this guy just gave me a few pieces of chicken and sent me away?
Gu Yanqing had no idea that Zhu Jiajun was dissatisfied with him. When he came out of the kitchen with a small bowl of meat, he saw the educated youth sitting in the yard staring at the bowl in his hand.
At this moment, Wang Hongying came over again. She looked at the meat in Gu Yanqing's hand, and a hint of desire flashed in her eyes.
She mustered up her courage and whispered, "Yan Zhiqing, can you...can you give me some of the meat? I...I'll trade it with the meal I'm going to cook tomorrow."
Gu Yanqing didn't even look at Wang Hongying and refused, "No."
After saying that, he walked around Wang Hongying with the basin in his hand, ignoring the gazes around him, and walked straight out of the Youth League Home.
Wang Hongying stood there, feeling the gazes of the educated youth, her face full of embarrassment.
But she soon cheered up again. Yan Zhiqing was equally indifferent to everyone in the Youth League Home.
As long as Wang Hongying could capture Yan Zhiqing before anyone else, she would never have to worry about having meat to eat! She might even be able to eat meat every meal!
After realizing this, Wang Hongying shook her braids and went back to the house with her head held high.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I would have thought she was eating chicken!" Zhao Xue shook her head as she watched Wang Hongying's back as she entered the house.
Although Zhu Jiajun was quite dissatisfied with the amount of chicken Gu Yanqing gave him, his hands and mouth did not stop and he started to eat the chicken in the kitchen.
While gnawing on the chicken in his hand, he was thinking in his mind how he could get along well with Gu Yanqing.
Once he and Gu Yanqing have a good relationship, he won't have to worry about not having meat to eat anymore! It smells so good! This chicken smells so good! The soup smells good too!
Gu Yanqing didn't know that someone was plotting against him behind his back, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
At this moment, he was standing outside the chicken farm holding the pot of chicken. When he thought of the person he was about to meet, he felt a sense of homesickness in his heart.
