Chapter 85 Bicycle, given by Captain Lu

When such beautiful pig skin jelly was taken out, Chen Fengying was stunned.

"Transparent... It's actually transparent! Just like glass! How can it be transparent? I've lived for almost thirty years and I've never seen such crystal clear pig skin jelly."

Chen Fengying widened her eyes and sighed repeatedly.

She also knows how to make pig skin jelly. In the early years, her family was poor and could not afford pork, so occasionally getting some pig skin was like picking up a treasure. She would also make pig skin jelly during the New Year or other festivals or when there were weddings or funerals in the village.

But the pig skin jelly she had made and eaten was always cloudy and foggy, and looked generally gray. It was never as pure and clear as the one made by Chu Yue.

This kind of pig skin jelly is delicious just by looking at it, not to mention eating it!

At this point, Chen Fengying finally understood why Chu Yue had to steam the pig instead of boiling it. Also, the pig skin was obviously clean after the hair was plucked, but she still rubbed it with salt again and again.

So many complicated steps are done just to make the pig skin jelly clean and beautiful when it is finally formed.

That’s right…this is such a good-looking pork skin jelly, I wonder if it tastes any different from the usual one?

Chen Fengying looked at the pig skin jelly and swallowed hard.

On the side, Lu Yuanbao stood on tiptoe on a small stool, stretching his head to look into the washbasin.

He didn't know what pig skin jelly was, nor did he know what it should look like. He just saw something like a basin of transparent ice, but it didn't feel as cold as ice.

Chu Yue turned the large basin upside down on the chopping board, and the solidified pig skin jelly naturally fell off the basin and landed on the chopping board with a plop.

Chu Yue took a kitchen knife and cut the pig skin jelly into square shapes, and then cut one of the pieces into rectangular strips.

She put the pork skin jelly on the plate, and then made a small sauce with some minced garlic, some red pepper and a little soy sauce.

"Sister Chen, Yuanbao, take this and try it. See how I cooked it."

Lu Yuanbao and Chen Fengying swallowed hard again, and didn't bother to be polite with Chu Yue. Without even using chopsticks, they directly reached out and picked up a piece of crystal pork skin jelly, dipped it in a little soy sauce, and put it in their mouths.

When you bite into it, it is soft, chewy, smooth and crispy.

Delicious! So delicious!

Because Chu Yue handled it very cleanly, there was no peculiar smell at all, but rather a faint aftertaste. This was due to the star anise Chu Yue added during the final steaming.

After eating one piece, you can’t help but lick your fingers and want to eat another piece.

In a blink of an eye, the three of them had eaten up the whole pot of pork skin jelly, one piece at a time.

Chu Yue was eating the pork skin jelly that she made herself, her eyes full of pride and joy. It was really great that there was no failure.

Chen Fengying was still not satisfied with her meal. "Sister Chu, you've really whetted my appetite. I suddenly feel that pork isn't as delicious as your pig skin jelly. Next time I go down the mountain, I'm going to buy some and make pig skin jelly according to your recipe. My husband and my son Dazhuang have never tasted anything so delicious!"

Lu Yuanbao was calm and didn't say anything, but seeing him nodding from time to time and looking at the empty plate, you could tell how much he liked it.

He silently remembered in his heart that this crystal clear thing was called pig skin jelly.

The three of them were having fun inside the house when they heard shouting outside.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Are you home?"

Chu Yue was quite familiar with this voice; it was Lu Zhanlin's bodyguard Song Qi.

Chu Yue wiped her hands and walked out, "Song Qi?"

When Lu Yuanbao saw Chu Yue move, he moved faster than Chen Fengying and immediately jumped down from the small stool and followed Chu Yue out.

Chen Fengying looked at the backs of the mother and son and murmured, "My Dazhuang doesn't cling to me this tightly, he's closer than a real mother and son."

In the yard.

When Song Qi saw Chu Yue, he immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I came here to give you something under the order of Captain Lu."

As he spoke, Song Qi patted the bicycle seat beside him.

That is a brand new 28-inch truck! (with pictures)

Chu Yue's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she subconsciously asked, "Did Lu Zhanlin say that?"

"Yes! Captain Lu said that my sister-in-law wanted a bicycle, so I thought of a way. If it weren't for the recent shortage of supplies during the New Year, I would have sent it to my sister-in-law yesterday." Song Qi patted the bicycle and took out another thing, "Sister-in-law, look! There's also this!"

From the cloth pocket on the back seat of the bicycle, he took out a piece of pork, and it was pork ribs, three in total, half of a rib side by side.

Chen Fengying couldn't help but exclaim, "Pork ribs! Pork ribs are even harder to buy than pig's trotters. Some people go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up at four or five in the morning just to buy a few ribs! Sister Chu, Captain Lu is so good to you."

Chu Yue knew in her heart that this was Lu Zhanlin's intention.

The night he came back a few days ago, Chu Yue originally thought that the conversation between the young couple was just casual chat, but she didn't expect that Lu Zhanlin not only listened, but also kept it in mind.

He arranged for Chu Yue to get the bicycle she wanted and the pork she casually mentioned she didn't buy.

Right now.

Chu Yue had only one question in her mind: Lu Zhanlin handed over all his assets, so where did he get the money to buy pork and bicycles?

Could it be that Captain Lu has a secret fund?

Chu Yue's thoughts flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but feel that her guess was a little funny. If Lu Zhanlin really wanted to set up some kind of secret treasury, he wouldn't have to give her the management of all the money in the first place.

Song Qi placed the ribs in Chu Yue's hands and said, "Sister-in-law, I have delivered everything that Captain Lu ordered. Please take it. I would like to wish you a happy new year and good luck! There is a car waiting for me outside, so I have to go back first."

"Song Qi, wait a minute!"

Song Qi didn't come here specifically to deliver something, but he had the opportunity to go up the mountain and did this on the way, so he was anxious to leave.

Chu Yue called him and asked him to wait for a few minutes.

She hurried back to the kitchen, took out some pork skin jelly, cut it into squares, and put it in the lunch box.

In a blink of an eye, Chu Yue took out two aluminum lunch boxes.

"Song Qi, this is for Lu Zhanlin, and this is for you. You can have it as a snack at lunch."

Song Qi had just eaten the wedding candy given by Chu Yue, and now he had another one. He couldn't help but open the lunch box and take a peek. The smooth and transparent pig skin jelly looked delicious!

When he left, his smile was so bright and happy.
