Gu Qingheng nodded, then began to feel around the stove before touching the firewood and nodding again.
"Why is Brother Gu here?" Erni came to help Yang Ruxin cook, and seeing Gu Qingheng sitting in front of the stove was a big surprise.
"I'm helping her light the fire." Yang Ruxin rapidly continued her preparations, "You go wash the rice. Tonight, we are eating rice, pure rice."
Erni glanced at Yang Ruxin, and without any objection, really went to wash the rice.
In the evening, Yang Ruxin deep-fried eggplant patties, made potato cakes, steamed eggs with shrimp paste, dry-fried kidney beans, cooked a dish of syrup-coated sweet potatoes, and finally stewed cabbage with meat. It was a bit of a pity that there were no vermicelli for sale; otherwise, the taste would certainly have been even better.
To Yang Ruxin's amazement, throughout her cooking, Gu Qingheng very well controlled both the high and low flames.
