Chapter 473: Back To The Mo House (1/2)

Old Master Gu gazed fervently at the basket on her back. “Do you have any good things? My wife has been ill lately. I want some nicer food to nourish her, but such things are hard to find. There’s more food on the black market now, but rare items remain rare.”

With the bountiful harvest, there was naturally more food on the black market, but rare items like meat and fruits remained rare and difficult to obtain.

Old Master Guo wanted some. Although he had money, he might not be able to obtain much.

More importantly, his wife liked the things that Gu Qingyao had given him. Gu Qingyao’s items just seemed nicer than other people’s items.

The new year was almost here, so Old Master Guo had been waiting for Gu Qingyao!

Gu Qingyao laughed. She had a good impression of this old man who doted on his wife. He was also from Shanghai, like her grandmother, which made her like him even more.

“Has Grandma Guo been ill? Is it serious?”

Old Master Guo sighed. “Ai… it’s a chronic illness. We’re old, and our bodies are breaking down. Her problem is an emotional one. It can’t be cured.

“I want to find some nice food to nourish her. Girl, if you have any, you must certainly give it to me!”

Gu Qingyao thought for a while. “Grandfather Guo, what would you like?”

Old Master Guo immediately responded, “Do you have chicken? Ideally an old hen, so I can make chicken soup for my wife. Pork ribs will do too.”

Gu Qingyao said, “I do.”

Gu Qingyao took two ceramic jars from the large basket on Mo Beihan’s back. Actually, she took them from her interspace and handed them to Old Master Guo.

“These contain chicken soup made from an old hen, and pork rib soup. I specially prepared them for old people like you. I’ve already boiled the soup, so you only have to warm it up when you get home. That reduces the smell so you won’t attract attention.”

Old Master Guo was delighted. “Oh, wonderful. Girl, your cooking is incomparable. After my wife drank your chicken soup and your pork rib soup, she doesn’t want to eat anyone else’s cooking.”
