Chapter 25 Braised Pork Intestines

"The mosquitoes in the mountains are indeed very poisonous. Ask your mother to make you a mugwort bag and hang it on your body to ensure that no mosquitoes will come near you." Qi Xinwei really thought it was a mosquito and said in an extremely serious tone.

When Tan Zi and the others heard this, they burst out laughing.

"It's really poisonous. It's swollen like this. I'm afraid it won't go away in a few days." Tan Zi stared at Qi Xinlan's mouth ambiguously and smiled strangely.

"Indeed, this mosquito must be very big. Look, Miss Lan's mouth is swollen." Chenzi also agreed with a smile.

"This mosquito must think Miss Lan is pretty, otherwise it would bite anywhere else but her mouth." Shenzi also winked and looked at the two of them jokingly.

“…” Xu “Mosquito” touched his nose uncomfortably.

Qi Xinlan's face turned red as blood, her head was about to smoke, and she glared at the culprit fiercely.

"Cough... cough... that's enough. Let's divide the pork." Xu Minghao received Qi Xinlan's glare and coughed awkwardly.

"Okay, let's divide the pork quickly." Seeing the two of them like this, Chenzi stopped joking.

The pork was divided quickly, with each family getting thirty or forty kilograms. Tan Zi was about to throw away the remaining offal when he was stopped by Qi Xinlan.

"Sister Lan, wild boar offal is very fishy and not tasty." said Tan Zi.

"Yes, Lan Zi, this is extremely unpalatable. What are you doing here?" Qi Xinwei also looked puzzled.

"Brother, after this is processed, it is a rare delicacy, smooth, refreshing, delicious and juicy." When Qi Xinlan thought of the taste of the braised large intestine, his face was full of aftertaste, but also mixed with pain!

After she married that man in her previous life, apart from domestic violence, she had to deal with the kitchen the most. In order to avoid being beaten, she cooked different kinds of food every day. Braised large intestines was the favorite of that man's children, so she made it the most. It can be said that she has brought the braised large intestines dish to its extreme.

"Hearing Miss Lan say this, my mouth is watering." Tan Zi also said with a longing look on his face.

The others were still in disbelief. Could this stinky intestine really be turned into something delicious? Are you kidding?

Xu Minghao was also hesitant. Although he believed in Qi Xinlan's cooking skills, he was familiar with the fishy smell of large intestine. It was not that no one in the army had ever made it before. However, no matter how the large intestine was cleaned or cooked, it still had a faint odor.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight and I will cook for you. I guarantee you will want to swallow even your tongue." Seeing their questioning looks, Qi Xinlan immediately made a bold statement.

After returning home and greeting her parents, Qi Xinlan immediately went into the kitchen.

She first cleaned the large intestine three times with wood ash, and then cleaned it three times with flour. After smelling it and finding no peculiar smell, she put it in a pot and blanched it, adding ginger and green onion segments. She was going to add cooking wine, but since there was no cooking wine at that time, she added white wine to remove the fishy smell.

After blanching, remove from the water and let cool. Then boil another pot of water, add large intestine, pork, white wine, dark soy sauce, star anise, rock sugar, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger, dried chilies and other ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and slowly braise for about half an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, she planned to make the wild boar meat into braised pork, boil the bones into soup, stir-fry the meat with garlic sprouts, stew the meat with potatoes, and pick a few cucumbers and some lettuce in the yard to make smashed cucumbers and garlic lettuce. After everything was done, the braised large intestine and braised meat were also ready.

As soon as the lid is opened, the fragrance fills the air and spreads for miles.

The people in the living room all swallowed their saliva. Qi Xinwei was the first to get impatient and said to everyone, "I'll go see if the food is ready."

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he ran away.

"Ahem...everyone, have some peanuts first, the food will be ready soon." Zhao Lan coughed lightly, breaking the silence first, cursing in her heart: This damn boy is so rude, there are guests here.

"Come on, let's have a drink." Qi Guowei was also a little embarrassed.

Although Tan Zi and the others really wanted to go to the kitchen, they remembered that they were guests, so they had to suppress their desire and just hoped that the meal would be ready soon.

As everyone was waiting, Qi Xinlan and Qi Xinwei walked in, each carrying a plate.

Seeing Qi Xinlan struggling to carry a large bowl of meat, Xu Minghao immediately stood up and took it, saying, "Anything else?"

"There are a few more dishes." Qi Xinlan replied.

"You sit down, I'll bring it." After saying that, Xu Minghao went to the kitchen.

Soon Qi Xinwei and Xu Minghao brought all the dishes to the table.

When everyone saw it, they gasped. There was braised wild boar meat, braised pork intestines, braised pork, stewed meat with potatoes, stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts, garlic lettuce, and smashed cucumbers. They had never eaten such a sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year.

Qi Xinlan not only cooks well, but is also very good at plating. Every dish is very delicate and appetizing, unlike their mother, who puts everything in one pot, which is not only unappetizing but also looks like pig food.

"Everyone, please start eating." Qi Guowei spoke up when he saw that everyone was eager to eat.

As soon as Qi Guowei finished speaking, Qi Xinwei took the lead in picking up the pig intestines. The others also picked up their chopsticks and picked up their favorite dishes.

The braised pork intestines are springy and tender, blending with the rich broth and fragrant oils. The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes, making you want to swallow it all! The braised pork is tender and flavorful, bursting with juice without being greasy. The potatoes are soft and chewy, soaked in the gravy, and immediately whet your appetite!

Each dish has its own unique flavor, making people unable to lift their heads after eating it. Those who said that pig intestines were not delicious have been proven wrong. The braised pig intestines are the ones that are sold out the fastest.

In a short while, every dish was finished, and even the soup from the braised pork intestines was used to mix with rice.

Tan Zi, Shen Zi, Chen Zi and others looked at the empty plates, scratched their heads embarrassedly, and stood up to help clear the table.

Zhao Lan didn't want the guests to clean up, so she asked Qi Xinwei to do it. Qi Xinwei quickly cleaned up the dishes. Seeing that the work had been done, Tan Zi and others helped to sweep the floor, wipe the tables, and even remove the weeds in the yard. They were very busy and happy.

After finishing their work, Tan Zi and his friends left.

"Brother, how about... I take you there?" Qi Xinlan lowered her eyelids and pulled at the corner of Xu Minghao's clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No need, I can go back by myself." Xu Minghao looked at the sky. It was getting late and it would be dark soon.

"Brother... I'll take you to the intersection, okay?" Qi Xinlan continued to pull at the corner of the other's clothes, her voice a little soft.

"Okay." Xu Minghao's heart softened when he saw the other party acting coquettishly towards him. After thinking about it, he agreed. After all, the intersection was not far away.

"Then wait a moment." Seeing that the other party agreed, Qi Xinlan happily ran into the kitchen, and when she came out, there was an extra food box.

"What is this?" Xu Minghao asked puzzledly.

"This is for our mother to eat. Let her try it too, right?" Qi Xinlan said with a mischievous smile.

Xu Minghao's heart softened, he touched Qi Xinlan's head, and smiled softly, "Then I'll thank you for being my daughter-in-law on behalf of my mother."

"You're so annoying. You're teasing me. I don't care about you anymore." Qi Xinlan pouted, stomped her feet, and ran away first.
