Ruan Xiaotang in the kitchen tied an apron around her waist and placed one end of a five-pound piece of meat on the chopping board. She then cut the pork belly into even pieces with a knife.
The iron pot was burning hot, and all the pork belly in the porcelain bowl was poured into it.
In an instant, the meat in the pot sizzled.
Oil and water splashed everywhere.
Wait for the water vapor to be forced out.
Holding a spatula in your hand, quickly stir the meat in the pot to prevent it from getting burnt.
As the temperature gradually rises, the fat in the meat is gradually forced out.
Ruan Xiaotang's hands kept moving, quickly shoveling the sizzling, greasy pork belly piece by piece.
The grease at the bottom of the pot accumulates more and more.
Use a spoon to scoop out some of it and pour it spoonful by spoonful into the lard jar next to it.
A handful of white sugar is thrown into the bottom of the pot, and the boiling hot oil instantly melts the transparent sugar water.
Stir quickly with a spoon.
The transparent sugar water slowly turns into amber.
The big bubbles on top gradually turn into thick foam.
The pork belly that has been fried until the skin is browned on the side of the pan is quickly pushed into the fried sugar color with a spoon and stirred quickly.
Make each piece of pork belly evenly coated with attractive amber color.
Fry until the meat is fragrant.
Add onion, ginger, dried chili pepper, peppercorns, aniseed and salt.
Continue stirring.
Finally add an appropriate amount of source of life.
Cover the pot and simmer over high heat until cooked.
"I didn't expect that your cooking skills are so good. It seems that I will be blessed with delicious food in the future."
Zhou Xingze sat by the stove, lighting a fire while admiring the girl in front of him who was skillful and virtuous.
The favorability level in my heart rose several levels.
A man's biggest dream, without exception, is to marry a good wife, and live a peaceful and stable life with his wife and children.
"You don't have to wait until later. You can have it today."
The aroma of meat filled the whole room.
The greedy Ruan Xiaohai hurriedly followed in.
I can't care about it and become a light bulb.
The craving is unbearable.
"Sister, is the meat cooked?"
"It's just been put into the pot, how can it be so fast!"
Ruan Xiaohai had a look of loss on his face. He leaned against the door frame, staring at the steaming pot.
Zhou Xingze pulled the wooden bench behind him and handed it to Ruan Xiaotang's feet.
"Sit down and take a break."
Ruan Xiaotang slowly bent down, sat on the bench, and moved his sore right arm.
Zhou Xingze had already noticed something wrong with her arm, but since Ruan Xiaohai was there, he couldn't show too much concern.
"In half an hour, the meal will be ready. Please wait patiently."
"Yes, brother-in-law!"
Ruan Xiaotang pretended to give Zhou Xingze a not-so-formal military salute.
He laughed and lifted the door curtain and ran away.
"Xiao Hai is still a child, don't bother with him."
Ruan Xiaotang lowered her head embarrassedly, staring at her toes.
"Why do you always act like a bullied wife in front of me? If someone doesn't know, they would think I'm bullying you. You have a very bad influence on me."
"You are so annoying! When did I become your wife?"
Ruan Xiaotang suddenly raised her head, raised her index finger, pointed it at his nose, and accused him in a coquettish voice.
His voice is thin and soft, and he pouts his little mouth mischievously, looking very adorable.
Zhou Xingze was amused and raised the corners of his lips.
He let her scold him with a doting look on his face.
The tenderness in the eyes of a tough guy can annihilate the villain in front of him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
So lustful.
Ruan Xiaotang noticed something strange and quickly withdrew the finger that was pointing at the other person's nose.
His gaze shifted to the blazing fire in the kitchen.
It is said that love among people of this era is the purest and most beautiful.
But how could this living person be different from what is described in the legend?
He always treats his feelings so directly, so passionately, and so nakedly.
Never hide yourself.
He did not have a single trace of the reserved attitude towards love that is unique to this era.
He looks straightforward, like a modern person.
Is it a preference for himself, or is he just the kind of person who has no boundaries towards everyone?
Once a girl's mind becomes sensitive, it won't stop.
"You are so good at taking care of girls, you must have talked to them a lot!"
Test him?
Zhou Xingze smiled softly and replied, "I haven't dated anyone, but I have been on dates many times. I have very high standards and would rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't meet the standard."
It’s a good idea to prefer nothing to something bad. She likes it.
Ruan Xiaotang's heart softened, and with just one sentence, she dispelled her groundless fantasies.
She smiled shyly with her lips pursed.
I still didn't dare to look up at him.
"White Rabbit Milk Candy, eat one when you miss me."
A package wrapped in brown paper suddenly appeared between his legs.
Heavy.
Why is he teasing me again?
Ruan Xiaotang couldn't bear it anymore and looked up. She said fiercely and cutely, "Your mouth is so frivolous, you really have no manners."
He added, "You have seen what my family is like. It is not too late to regret now. Don't force yourself."
Zhou Xingze looked around the bare house and said without hesitation, "I like you as a person. It has nothing to do with your background. Your aunt is kind and your brother is sensible. Look how happy your family of three is. But my family members don't get along well with each other. You should be more tolerant then."
I thought his words were exaggerated.
But when you visit for the first time.
Ruan Xiaotang then realized that his mother was a fussy grandmother, his brother's wife was a fussy mother, and his youngest sister was a troublemaker.
The whole family also includes his eldest sister-in-law whose husband has died. She is gentle and easier to get along with.
However, these are things they will have to face together after they get married.
Now, the eight characters have just begun to take shape.
The meat in the pot was bubbling and the aroma of meat was overflowing.
Ruan Xiaotang mixed the pre-prepared wild vegetables with corn flour, rolled them up one by one with his hands, and quickly put them on the top circle of the iron pan.
"Turn down the heat, or the pot will get burnt."
"Yes, sir!"
Replace the wooden lid on the pot.
Cover the edge of the pot tightly with white cloth.
Wait ten minutes and you can eat.
"You must be hungry."
Ruan Xiaotang asked with concern.
We drove for such a long time, and the road was bumpy and difficult to drive on.
It's very tiring.
"I'm looking forward to the meal you cook."
Zhou Xingze was just about to hold her hand.
The uninvited guest rushed in.
"Sister, Mom said the meat is cooked. Serve a bowl of it and bring it to Third Grandpa."
"Got it. Go set the table and put out the dishes. We'll be having dinner soon."
"Yes, sir!"
Ruan Xiaotang picked up the fire stick, tilted his head, stretched the stick into the stove, and spread the red-hot branches inside evenly so that the bottom of the pot would be heated evenly and not get stuck.
"Third Uncle, I am here to take you into the city."
"Yes, it is."
Be grateful and repay kindness.
Parents teach by example.
Children educated in such a family will not be bad.
