Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 166: This Is Only the Beginning

The rain outside was getting heavier, and not only the Gu Family wore worried expressions; all the villagers of Qingshan Village were sighing in sorrow. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The rain was clearly getting worse, and this year’s grain harvest had to be reduced by at least ten percent.

Little did they know, this was just the beginning.

After the torrential rain, the grain harvest was less than ten percent, most of it ruined.

As the hour approached to make dinner, there was still no movement from Aunt’s side. Gu Jin wrapped her just-washed but still wet hair in a towel and left the room to head to the kitchen once more.

She took out a bag of rice and a bag of wheat flour from the storage space.

In the kitchen, apart from the wild vegetables she dug up from the mountain yesterday, there was some pickled wild boar meat taken from the cellar, and potatoes, cucumbers, beans. These were vegetables just about to ripen, and it was unknown from whose house Aunt got them.

In the village, if someone’s vegetables ripen first, or if someone is craving, they exchange things for them. Seeing these things, Gu Jin could guess that Aunt had exchanged household items for them.

Gu Jin first put the rice into the pot to simmer, lighting a flame in the stove.

She then went to wash some wild vegetables, beans, and potatoes.

Once the wild vegetables were clean, she peeled a few cloves of garlic, crushed them, and chopped them up, preparing them for garlic wild vegetables, and also chopped up two small red peppers.

The fire was lit on another idle stove, pig fat was put in the pot, and once the oil was hot, the chopped garlic and peppers were added.

Soon, the aroma of the fried peppers and garlic spread out.

Gu Jin added a handful of wood to the stove and then poured the washed wild vegetables into the pot, starting to stir-fry them over high heat.

When it was just about ready, she added a suitable amount of salt, and the garlic wild vegetables were ready to be served.

After taking out the vegetables, she washed the pot clean, preparing the ingredients for the next dish.

Wild boar meat, potatoes, beans, sugar, and green onions, ginger, garlic.

Once she had placed all the ingredients by the stove, she squatted down to add a handful of wood to the stove. The previously weak flame surged after the wood was added.

Once the pot was hot, oil was added, and before the oil was fully heated, sugar was added.

After the sugar melted and changed color, the chopped wild boar meat was added, continuously stirred to color, and garlic and ginger were thrown in.

Once the fragrance of the meat started to spread, a suitable amount of soy sauce was added for color. When the cooking level was almost right, clear water was poured in, enough to submerge the meat in the pot.

Gu Jin bent down to check the fire in the stove, adding another handful of wood, causing the flame to grow once more.

She covered the pot, and after the water boiled, she threw in the potatoes, beans, and scallion sections from the side, stirred them evenly, and covered the pot again.

The enticing aroma of the meat was already spreading by this time, but the cooking level wasn’t right yet.

Next, she waited for the sauce to thicken over high heat and added the necessary seasonings before it could be served.

Thinking of the little one’s meals these past two days, Gu Jin spooned out the potato stew with meat into a bowl, planning to make some soup.

Just make a refreshing and delicious soup, tomato and egg drop soup.

This was extremely simple to make.

The tomatoes were taken from the storage space, eggs were ready, and there were cucumbers and scallions. Even simple ingredients could be used to make highly nutritious soup.

Once the tomato and egg drop soup was ready, Gu Jin didn’t ladle it out.

She covered the pot of tomato and egg drop soup, glanced at the rice in the other stove, which was already cooked. The rice grains were plump and glistening, looking very appetizing.

She turned around and left the kitchen to call the family to eat.

...

When the family sat around the dining table, Gu Jin could tell that Grandpa, Uncle, and Aunt all looked unhappy.
