Li Xiufen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll clean it up right away."
As she said that, she asked Fu Hong to take the meat to the well at the back, and she began to wash the meat over and over again. Fu Xiao was in the kitchen preparing the ingredients for braised meat, cleaning a deep pot in the kitchen, and wrapping a bunch of spices such as star anise, cinnamon, angelica, bay leaves, cloves, tangerine peel, etc. with a piece of clean cotton cloth.
My aunt washed the meat and put it into the pot with spices. She also added a ginseng whisker, which she had broken before, and then added the spiritual spring water she had prepared.
Light the fire and start stewing.
The sunset fades and the night deepens.
A rich aroma of braised meat wafted out from the kitchen and filled the night air.
next door,
Fu Limin's family was sitting around the dinner table eating when they suddenly smelled a fragrance and instantly felt that their own food no longer tasted good.
Fu Limin's throat rolled over and he swallowed the steamed bread in his hand with difficulty. His daughter Fu Yingying, who lived across the street, smelled the fragrance, swallowed her saliva, and muttered indignantly: "Why do the neighbors eat meat all day long?"
Li Yumei rolled her eyes at the other side. "That's because their cooking is delicious. The one who cooks every day is a 13-year-old girl. What about you? You are a few years older than her. I respect you because you can cook well."
Fu Yingying curled her lips and thought: You don’t even look at the ingredients used in the cooking. She will never admit that it’s a problem with her cooking skills. It must be a problem with the ingredients.
Fu Limin: "Mother, didn't our family get a piece of meat? Why don't you cook it and eat it?"
Li Yumei was furious. She threw her chopsticks on the table and shouted, "I have to go home after work to cook for you. You can eat it if you want. There's meat here. You only got a little meat, and you're going to eat it like this?"
When Fu Limin saw that his wife was angry, he shrank his neck, stopped talking, and continued to eat his steamed bread.
Li Yumei snorted unhappily and said, "We'll eat that piece of meat tomorrow. I'll prepare some more potatoes and make a big pot of stew. It will last our family a whole day..."
Fu Limin and Fu Yingying's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were obviously looking forward to tomorrow's meal.
On the other side, the Fu family
Fu Hong, who was sitting under the stove and making fire, kept glancing into the pot. Grandpa Fu and Fu Wei Bo were also standing at the kitchen door, swallowing their saliva.
Little Fu Kai was even more exaggerated, and kept circling around Fu Xiao, "Sister, are you ready? I want to eat meat, can you let me taste it first..."
Fu Xiao smiled and held him down to stop him from spinning. He flicked his head and said, "It's not familiar yet. Can you wait a little longer..."
Fu Kai's face obviously fell, and he pouted, "Then let me taste it to see if it's salty?"
Fu Hong smiled and pulled him over, "Come, help me light the fire, so the meat can be cooked faster."
Fu Kai squatted under the stove and kept throwing firewood into the stove, while one of his eyes was secretly peering into the pot.
After waiting for about ten more minutes, Fu Xiao estimated that the time should be enough, so he went to the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot.
A richer aroma of braised meat wafts in the air along with the steam.
The movements of the two brothers Fu Hong swallowing their saliva at the stove became more and more obvious.
Even Li Xiufen, who was outside the kitchen, couldn't help but exclaim, "This smells so good. I didn't expect the braised meat to smell so good. I know it must be delicious just by smelling it."
Fu Xiao poked the meat with chopsticks and felt it was cooked, so he asked Fu Hong to turn off the fire. Looking at Fu Kai who was standing on tiptoe to look into the pot, he smiled and said to him: "Xiao Kai, go help your mother to carry the bowls and chopsticks, we can eat right away..."
When he heard this, he immediately ran to help.
Fu Xiao waited until the heat in the braised meat pot had dissipated a little, picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and put it on the plate. He cut one plate of pig head meat and one plate of ordinary braised meat and served them on the table.
As soon as Grandpa Fu started to eat, the others started to eat.
"Hmm...this braised meat is so delicious, especially the pig's head, it's so fragrant," Fu Hong commented while eating.
The others all nodded in agreement, and even Fu Yu, who had never been a big fan of food, ate a lot.
The last two plates of meat were eaten up completely.
Thinking about the remaining braised meat in the pot, my aunt asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to take out the meat from the pot..."
Fu Xiao shook his head. "No, the longer the braised meat is soaked in the braising soup, the more flavorful it will be. And as long as the braising soup is not spoiled, it can still be used next time."
My aunt nodded to show that she understood.
The full people were taking a walk under the moonlight. Fu Xiao and his aunt were in the kitchen cutting some braised meat to bring to Fu Weilun when they went to the county tomorrow.
It was getting dark.
It's time for another day of medicinal bathing.
------
In the county town, the dinner party organized by Fu Weilun had just ended, and he arranged for his secretary to send everyone back.
Now only Lu Jianguo and Fu Weilun were left at the dinner table.
Fu Weilun sat leisurely on the chair, stretched out his hand to light the cigarette in his hand, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to the man drinking next to him through the white mist: "Secretary Lu...drink too much?"
Lu Jianguo groaned, put down the wine glass in his hand, and waved his hand casually, "No, this is just how much..."
After saying that, he picked up a cigarette and started smoking.
Fu Weilun raised his hand and flicked the ash off his cigarette, then said lazily, "Then I'll have to trouble Chief Lu."
Lu Jianguo frowned slightly, his eyes were ambiguous, and he said, "What is so important that you have to go through my way to send it to your second brother?"
Fu Weilun closed his eyes and spoke, his voice was a little distracted, "My grandfather took the trouble to prepare the medicine for my second brother. He was worried that he would get hurt during the mission. They are all good medicine. My grandfather was worried about sending it to the post office, so he told me that it must be intact when it reaches my second brother."
