Chapter 184: The iron rooster plucks its feathers!

And even now, I still don't feel any sense of refreshment, and it doesn't hurt at all.

I haven't done anything recently, just the same as before.

Could it be that in the past few days, Gu Chen has cured my dysmenorrhea with matsutake mushrooms and ginseng?

Ginseng is hot in nature and highly nourishing.

Ji Pianran knew this.

She had only drunk one bowl and was already sweating profusely.

And she had unexpectedly cured her chronic dysmenorrhea.

It seemed that this ginseng was really powerful. Director Jin was right, Gu Chen had definitely gone all out.

Thinking about this, Ji Pianran couldn't help but turn her head and glance towards the kitchen.

Her eyes were filled with emotion.

Gu Chen had left just three days after the birth, and Ji Bianran was left alone with her infant daughter, Tang Tang. She was already weak, and had to sneak up and wash the baby's diapers while she was asleep.

To save time, she used cold water and hurriedly finished washing before going back to the baby.

It was at that time that she used too much cold water, and later developed this condition.

It is said that postpartum diseases are difficult to cure, and she was prepared to live with the pain for the rest of her life.

But now, through a series of unexpected events, she has been cured.

The past pains have been gradually healed, one after the other, without her realising it.

Every day, Gu Chen changes for the better, and all of this is telling her that a wonderful life is about to begin.

Shen Cuilan went home and got a big bag of red dates, which she held in her arms like a treasure as she turned around and ran towards Gu Chen's house.

When she saw Ji Pianran, she handed them over with a smile.

'Pianran, I know you're in the hospital and there's nothing much I can bring you from home, but these dates are from XJ. They're very sweet and will nourish your blood.'

Ji Pianran didn't expect Shen Cuilan to give her a gift.

She was touched but also a little embarrassed.

She hurriedly said, 'Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Take them back.'

Some things are better received with a simple thank you.

Life is hard for everyone, and she doesn't like to be in debt.

Shen Cuilan of course refused. She had already brought the gift, so there was no reason to take it back.

She lifted the bag of dates in her hands and stuffed them directly into Ji Pianran's arms.

'Don't be polite with me. If you don't accept, it means you don't see me as a friend!'

This was the first time she had been so generous with someone. If she didn't want them, it meant she looked down on her.

Her family had eaten many meals at Gu Chen's house and had taken many good things from her family, but these were just dates, and she was willing to give them away!

Seeing Shen Cuilan carrying such a large bag of dates, Auntie Zhang was a little surprised.

Goodness, the iron cockerel has plucked its feathers!

It's not easy.

But seeing how good Shen Cuilan is to Ji Pianran, she felt happy too. She said to Ji Pianran, 'You child, just take it if I give it to you!'

Shen Cuilan had finally been generous for once, so what was there to wait for if she didn't take it?

Ji Pianran could not refuse, so she had to take it. She smiled and nodded, 'Then thank you, sister-in-law.'

Inside the house, Gu Chen looked at Tian Laosi and the cleaver in his hand with admiration.

Tian Laosi chopped the chicken with such ease.

A large rooster weighing ten or so catties was chopped into small pieces in a matter of seconds.

The whole scene was extremely smooth and done in one go.

Chopping the chicken wasn't enough.

Tian Laosi then started to chop the beef, which Gu Chen had bought but was actually beef ribs.

This stuff is really delicious, but it's really hard to chop.

He originally planned to saw it open with a saw.

Unexpectedly, Tian Laosi directly demonstrated to him what it meant to chop with a single hand movement.

Gu Chen couldn't help but exclaim, 'Fourth Brother, did you used to sell meat?'

Luckily, China was liberated in 1949, otherwise Gu Chen really doubted the real identity of this Tian Laosi, and it was very likely that he was an executioner who killed without shedding blood.

Tian Laosi was shocked and laughed out loud.

'I have been farming for almost 30 years, and this is the first time someone has asked me this kind of question.'

Gu Chen laughed while pouring some oil into the wok and began to perform the stir-fry of a large cock.

Tian Laosi was stunned by what he saw. The two brothers took turns showing off their skills, each one better than the last, and the scene was truly spectacular.

After the chicken was fried, they began to stew beef ribs, and on the other side, they were stewing pig's trotters.

The two large pots were billowing with steam, and the small courtyard was filled with the rich smell of cooking.

The rich meaty aroma immediately filled the entire courtyard.

It was about time, so Gu Chen made an excuse to go and check on the cordyceps.

Once she entered the front room, she quickly shoved herself into the space and filled two pots with cherries and medlar.

She washed them and placed them on the table.

Gu Chen's family didn't have enough tables, so Tian Laosi brought his family's table over as well.

In the end, they had big tables and small coffee tables all placed in the courtyard.

Although they were all different, there was still no problem sitting thirty or forty people.

Fruit, chocolates and nougat were laid out everywhere where people could eat.

It was now half past eleven, and many people who loved to join in the fun were already heading towards Gu Chen's house.

On the village dirt road, adults chatted and laughed, while children played around.

Among them were Widow Wu, who was accompanied by her son, Yang Yongxiang, who was accompanied by his eight-year-old daughter, and Li Youmo, who was accompanied by his grandson.

As soon as they reached the end of the alley, they could smell a strong meaty aroma.

The smell was long-lasting.

The children were all very interested in eating, and they all stopped playing as soon as they caught the smell.

'What is it? It smells so good!'

'It's delicious!'

'Mummy, Beibei is hungry!'

'Grandma, Shunshun is hungry too!'

When children are hungry, their first reaction is basically to look for their mother. If their mother is not around, they look for their grandmother, and only if their grandmother is not around do they look for their father.

The little ones, who were just playing and laughing, are now all clamoring for food.

Not to mention the children, even the adults can't help but start daydreaming at the smell, a big pot full of stew with meat, the rich soup inside bubbling, the heat constantly spreading outward.

Sigh, it's so tempting.

Li You'e has a little smug look on her face, as if she's bragging about her son.

'I told you that Chen Zi is a great cook. Now do you believe me?'

Mrs. Wu swallowed.

'It really is. It smells so good, I'm hungry just from smelling it!'

Yang Yongxiang looked at Mrs. Wu hesitantly, 'Keep an eye on Ningning for me. I have to go home and get my daughter-in-law!'

The smell of the meat is so good, it would be a waste not to call his daughter-in-law over to eat it!

Anyway, the family is going to rent the land to Gu Chen, so it's not a loss for him to have an extra person to eat.

On hearing this, Li You'e laughed heartily.

'Then hurry up, or it'll be gone when you get back.'

'Okay!' Yang Yongxiang responded, and turned around and ran back.

After all, there were more people, and the cooking went pretty quickly.

It had only been an hour and a half since ten o'clock, and it was almost done.

Gu Chen and Tian Laosi had been busy all morning and were just about to go out for a smoke when they saw several people smiling and walking towards Gu Chen's house.

'Is there anything else I can help you with?' Li You'e asked eagerly as they walked.

Gu Chen lit a cigarette and nodded and smiled at her.

'It's almost done, auntie. Just find a seat and enjoy your meal.'

Hearing him say that, Li You'e's heart felt like it had been filled with honey.

After all, Gu Chen was the protagonist today, and since he had given her such face, who would dare look down on her?

'You're just sweet-talking!'

Li You'e laughed as she went into the room.
