Ning Liang snatched the cleaver from her hand and said, "Although I can't cook, I can still chop meat. Besides, your hand injury hasn't healed yet, how can you chop such a big wild boar?"
Ning Huan was surprised that her younger brother would care about her one day.
Not to mention Ning Huan, even Madam Pang had never seen her youngest son care about his older sister.
Pang and Ning Huan exchanged a glance, almost bursting out laughing, but managed to hold it back.
With the help of Pang and Ning Liang, Ning Huan found cooking in the kitchen much easier.
Ning Huan first took out the chicken feet that Pang had already blanched, then put them in a pot to caramelize the sugar. When the chicken feet turned slightly yellow, she added scallions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fried them until they were fragrant.
Next, Ning Liang put soy sauce and rice wine into a bowl and brought it to a boil. After pouring this sauce into the pot, he simmered it over low heat until it thickened.
She left the pot of reducing sauce to Pang's watch. She then soaked the chopped ribs in water to remove the blood, and instructed Ning Liang to take them out and put them into the marinade she had prepared after a while.
To make steamed pork ribs with millet, you need to soak the millet in water first.
Besides soaking millet in water, Ning Huan also wanted to make a pearl dumpling for the four little dumplings, so she took out glutinous rice to soak in water as well.
After soaking the millet and glutinous rice in water, she took out the marinated chicken wings, timing it perfectly.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the marinated chicken wings, and then add some white sugar to caramelize them.
Ning Huan's caramelized sugar was so beautiful that Madam Pang couldn't help but praise, "Huan's dishes look so good, and they smell so delicious!"
Hearing this, Ning Huan smiled. Caramelizing sugar was the first thing she learned to do when she started cooking, and she was very good at it.
Soon, the aroma of chicken wings wafted out, and she added some soy sauce for seasoning. She then added the chopped garlic she had just prepared, stir-fried it until fragrant, and then added some water to simmer.
She called Ning Liang over to watch the pot of chicken wings, and then had Ning Liang mince the chopped pork while he was watching the pot.
After the garlic chicken wings and braised chicken feet were finished, Ning Huan's soaked millet and glutinous rice were still not ready, so Pang Shi prepared to take over and cook the two dishes.
Ning Huan went to the side to make desserts for the four little ones. They really loved the double-skin milk pudding she made last time. This time, she planned to make more.
Besides the double-skin milk pudding, Ning Huan also took out some peaches from her consciousness space, preparing to make peach syrup for the four little ones.
Having been in this world for a long time, she especially missed canned yellow peaches, but unfortunately there weren't any available, so she could only try making sugar water with white peaches instead.
Just as Ning Huan was about to emerge from the consciousness space, she suddenly noticed that the spinach and cucumbers next to her looked very fresh, so she picked some to make a cold spinach and cucumber salad later.
She had just stepped out of the house when Madam Pang walked in, startling Ning Huan.
Seeing Ning Huan's appearance, Madam Pang smiled and said, "Why are you so reckless, child?"
Ning Huan said somewhat flusteredly, "I just put the food I made for the little ones in this room, so I came to get it right away."
She thought that if Pang had discovered what had happened in her consciousness space, she wouldn't be the one who would be frightened.
Seeing that Madam Pang still seemed to have some questions, she quickly changed the subject, "Mother, what brings you here?"
Pang said, "You reminded me. I came here to find you. I just made two stir-fried dishes, and now that they're ready, I'm calling you to the kitchen."
Pang made a dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes and Mapo eggplant, which smelled very tempting.
Ning Huan took a large pot lid and covered the dish to prevent it from cooling down.
Seeing some spinach and cucumbers in Ning Huan's basket, Pang thought she was going to cook something again, so she went over and took them to blanch them for her.
Ning Huan quickly stopped her, saying that she was planning to make a cold dish.
So Pang blanched the spinach in hot water and then took it out to make a cold dish with cucumber.
"Mom is also very good at making this cold dish. I'll make it for you to try today."
With Pang's help, Ning Huan felt relieved and prepared to make steamed pork ribs with millet and pearl dumplings.
Since Ning Huan took the rice from her consciousness space, it didn't need to be soaked for a long time.
Ning Huan took out the ribs she had just marinated, then added the soaked millet and stirred them well.
She had just put the ribs into the steamer when four little dumplings came out of the house.
The little one smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Wow! Mommy, the kitchen smells so good today! What are you making that's delicious?"
Not only the third child, but even the second and fourth children were drooling with envy.
"Mom, the food you made today must be especially delicious."
"Mom, when can we eat? I can't wait to try it."
Ning Huan patted their little heads and said with a smile, "You little gluttons, it'll be ready in a bit!"
While steaming the ribs, Ning Huan rinsed the soaked glutinous rice. Then she added salt, rice wine, and oil to the ground pork, along with a few eggs, and mixed it all together. Finally, she added some chopped green onions and ginger and mixed it well.
Then, shape the minced meat into balls and coat them with a layer of glutinous rice. Steam them for a while.
While waiting, serve the cooked peach syrup, and the double-skin milk pudding will also be ready.
After Ning Huan finished cooking and served all the dishes, not only the four little dumplings, but even the two brothers, Si Mo and Si Yan, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "I never expected that my wife, Ning Huan, could cook so many dishes!"
Even though the two of them came from the capital, they had to admit that Ning Huan's cooking was absolutely perfect.
It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
While marveling at her cooking, he couldn't help but joke, "Ning Niangzi's skills are so good, they're even better than the head chef of our Zuiyanlou!"
"I wonder if I will ever be able to ask Lady Ning to work with me in the future, so that the diners of Zuiyanlou can also taste Lady Ning Huan's dishes."
Before Ning Huan could speak, Si Yan said, "Madam Ning has already partnered with Renjitang, how could she have the energy to go to Zuiyanlou? Don't talk nonsense!"
Ning Huan raised an eyebrow: "It's not like there's no chance."
Hearing this, Si Mo became interested: "Does Madam Ning Huan have something to say about what I just said? Don't worry, the price I offer will definitely be higher than what my brother offered."
"Si Mo!"
Hearing Si Mo's nonsensical words, Si Yan couldn't help but speak up: "Don't talk nonsense. Ning Niangzi gave our Renjitang the medicinal herbs so that we could treat patients, not just for money."
Si Yan said this because of the incident where Zhou Jing'an's classmate, Yu Chengren's wife, had a difficult childbirth.
