It turned out that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were whispering and discussing this.
Lin Yang had already washed the ribs and put them into the pot, along with bulk white wine, scallions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell.
As the fire below boiled the water, the aroma of the meat and bones filled the room.
It quickly spread throughout the entire Intermediate People's Court.
I took a sniff of the room; the unique scent of bones filled the air.
Lin Yang revealed a satisfied smile!
This is the taste!
After discovering that the blood inside the bones had been boiled out, Lin Yang quickly used a small spoon to skim off the foam floating in the pot.
Then, I poured white wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar into the pot.
Using the original broth to enhance the original flavor of the meat makes it even more fragrant!
After finding a star anise and a cinnamon stick in the cupboard at home, Lin Yang smelled the unique aroma of the spices and then put them into the soup with a satisfied expression.
With the help of firewood, bubbles kept rising from the pot.
These bubbles also carry the aroma from the pot into the air.
Soon, the aroma of braised pork ribs wafted from every crack in Lin Yang's house to the outside of the yard.
Then it gradually spread from the central courtyard to the other two courtyards.
The Jia family was the first to smell this fragrance.
Jia Zhangshi sniffed the unique aroma of pork ribs in the air and said with a puzzled look, "This smells like pork ribs! And they're braised! Which family is so extravagant! They buy pork ribs instead of meat, and they even braise them!"
Qin Huairu also sniffed, and said with certainty, "It definitely can't be Uncle Yi's house, and it certainly can't be Sha Zhu's house! This smell should be coming from..."
The next second, she and Madam Jia spoke at the same time:
"It came from Lin Yang's house!!!"
Even in her drowsy sleep, Xiao Dang smelled the aroma. She pouted at her mother and said, "Mommy, I want to eat meat!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi retorted irritably, "Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat, you good-for-nothing!"
Qin Huairu, standing to the side, didn't dare to contradict her mother-in-law. She could only hug Xiaodang and pat her back, saying, "Sleep well, sleep well, you'll have meat to eat in your dreams!"
Actually, she really wanted to eat it too.
Ever since Jia Dongxu became addicted to playing cards, the family's life has gotten worse year by year.
When we first got married a few years ago, we could at least have this meal twice a year.
But nowadays, being able to eat an egg once a year is considered good.
Even if Jia Dongxu occasionally had a change of heart and brought back some meat.
This small amount of meat was reserved for Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng.
As for her and Xiao Dang, they are completely unrelated; at most, they can share some meat broth.
An old man's house.
Yi Zhonghai was alright when he smelled the meat, after all, as an eighth-level fitter, his monthly salary of ninety-nine yuan was enough for the old couple to live on.
While we can't say we can eat meat every day, it's definitely possible to eat it at least once a month.
But when he discovered that the fragrance was coming from Lin Yang's house, he felt extremely bad.
I wish time would hurry up and reach 7:30!
Then, at the college-wide meeting, we can stand on the moral high ground and relentlessly criticize Lin Yang!
The house of Uncle San is just a wall away from Lin Yang's.
Yan Fugui, who was rinsing soy sauce with a rusty nail, immediately put down his chopsticks and scolded everyone in his family:
"Quick, quick, suck it in hard!!! Lin Yang is making braised pork ribs!"
After saying that, he led the way to the window and took a deep breath in the direction of Lin Yang's house.
The three aunts and the three Yan siblings also put down what they were holding at the same time and began to breathe in with Yan Fugui.
After inhaling for about five or six minutes, Yan Fugui suddenly pointed in the direction of Sha Zhu's house and cursed:
"That stupid Zhu is a motherless bastard! If he hadn't injured Lin Yang, I might have gotten a share of this braised pork ribs!"
After finishing his rant, he discovered that Yan Jiefang had taken his spot, so he glared at him with his small eyes and said, "Jiefang, why did you take my spot? Go suck up the air from behind me!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table, inhaling the aroma of ribs in the air while drinking the diluted wine, and occasionally picking up a rusty iron nail covered in soy sauce and throwing it into his mouth.
The other neighbors also watched with envy as Lin Yang ate meat, and of course, they couldn't help but mutter a few words about how Lin Yang was such a spendthrift, actually using his precious meat coupons to buy ribs.
As time passed little by little.
While cooking the ribs, Lin Yang used the pound of flour that the system had rewarded him with to make himself a few pancakes.
Put the pancakes into a bowl, and then plate the glistening spare ribs.
Lin Yang said with deep emotion, "This is life!"
However, looking at the little bit of bulk liquor left, he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just that the liquor is a bit cheap. It would be great if you could have a bottle of Moutai!"
After he finished speaking, he smiled and shook his head, discarding this unrealistic fantasy.
These days, besides being expensive, Moutai also requires extra Moutai coupons to purchase.
Sometimes, even if you have money and Moutai tickets, they might not sell them to you without a leader's signature.
Therefore, unless it's a system reward, it's really not easy to get your hands on Moutai.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lin Yang picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
The delicious savory sauce, combined with the unique aroma of pork, instantly fills the mouth.
"Cool!"
Lin Yang spat out the bone and said with a satisfied look.
When he started eating.
Bang Geng also called Jia Dongxu back from the gambling table.
Stepping into the yard, Banggeng inhaled the enticing aroma and looked up at Jia Dongxu with an intensely longing voice, saying, "Dad, it's meat! It's meat!! I want to eat meat!"
"Eat my ass!" Jia Dongxu, who had just lost a lot of money again, slapped Bang Geng on the back of the head and said in an extremely annoyed tone, "All you ever do is eat! Doesn't your dad want to eat?"
After saying that, he pushed the door open forcefully, muttering repeatedly, "Mom, why did you call me back so early! The meeting hasn't even started yet!"
"Hey, keep your voice down!" Sitting on the heated kang, Jia Zhangshi wasn't one to back down. She glared at Jia Dongxu and said, "Of course I called you back because I have something to say. Hurry up and close the door!"
After Jia Dongxu closed the door, Jia Zhangshi recounted what she and Qin Huairu had just discussed, and finally said with a slightly worried tone, "Dongxu, do you think he will make things difficult for you at the factory if we don't go to Lin Yang?"
Jia Dongxu was also a little hesitant. If he hadn't seen what happened to Sha Zhu today, he probably would have laughed out loud and said, "What's there to worry about with Lin Yang?"
But things are different now.
Lin Yang is no longer the landlord who was bullied by everyone.
He rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, and then said cautiously, "Mom, let's not rush this matter. Isn't Uncle going to hold a big meeting later? Let's see how Lin Yang faces Uncle first."
"That's a good idea." Madam Jia nodded slightly. She had a past entanglement with Yi Zhonghai when she was young and knew that he wasn't as kind as he seemed. Since Yi Zhonghai had also offended Lin Yang, she would let him try to intervene first.
