"What's the loss? Bones aren't worth much; buying more won't cost much."
Lin Jingyu rinsed the ribs with water and placed them on a winnowing basket.
Standing in front of him, she kept looking him over. "Are you alright? You encountered such a big wild boar last night, how did you manage to deal with it?"
"Are you underestimating us?"
Su Jingtian looked very confident. "It's just a wild boar. It's easy for us to deal with it. Not to mention one wild boar, even if we had two more, we could keep them for our cooking."
"He boasts without thinking."
Peng Shiyu immediately exposed her, "If my brother hadn't gone to help, you wouldn't have been able to keep the wild boar. I heard the boar almost hit someone, and you didn't even realize what was happening."
"That dangerous?!"
Lin Jingyu frowned, her expression serious. "You need to be careful. If you get hit by a wild boar, you'll be crippled even if you don't die. Don't gamble with your lives."
"Don't worry, we will."
Su Jingtian paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
For some reason, he was a little afraid of Lin Jingyu's serious face, just like he was with Boss Peng.
You have to admit, these two do look quite alike when they put on a serious face.
"Just keep it in mind."
Lin Jingyu took out a kitchen knife and handed it to him, instructing him directly: "Help me chop the ribs off one by one, keep a small portion to make sweet and sour ribs, and I'll make the rest into salted ribs. We can cook salted rib porridge in the morning."
"Salted bone congee is delicious."
I've already tried the salted bone porridge that Lin Jingyu made.
Peng Shiyu's face showed a greedy expression, clearly she liked it very much, "Sister Jingyu, make more salted bones, we drink salted bone porridge every morning."
“It’s easy to like eating it. I’ll ask your older brother to go to town and buy more bones to make salted bones.”
Lin Jingyu placed the meat they brought into a porcelain basin, adding water as she said, "When you want to drink porridge, just put a few pieces in and cook it. It's convenient and delicious."
Go quickly and get some firewood. Also, clean the big pot thoroughly; we'll render the oil later.
"good."
Peng Yushi readily agreed.
He turned around and went out into the yard to bring in firewood.
She's been here for almost a month. She might not be good at other chores, but she can manage to start a fire by herself.
"sharp."
While chopping ribs, Su Jingtian couldn't help but give her an approving look, "You're the first person who can get the Peng family's little princess to work."
“It’s not that I made her do the work; Shiyu is willing to do it herself.”
Lin Jingyu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Actually, she's just been too well protected. She's never interacted with other people and doesn't know how to make friends."
Now that I've gone to the countryside, I've met more people and things have naturally changed.
Don't you think she changes every day?
Once she learns to interact with all strangers, she will become increasingly capable.
"You're right."
Su Jingtian nodded involuntarily, "With you taking such good care of her, Boss Peng can finally rest easy."
"We take care of each other."
Lin Jingyu expressed her opinion, "Shiyu has also taken care of me and helped me. You all underestimate her."
Peng Shiyu was carrying firewood when she walked to the kitchen door and heard these words.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.
Peng Qibo, who had just returned to the yard, heard the conversation in the kitchen and saw the smile on his sister's face.
When he went to receive the telegram in the morning, he finally felt completely relieved.
Everyone worked together in the kitchen for two hours and finally got all the meat ready.
“It’s delicious. Really delicious.”
Peng Shiyu stuffed sweet and sour pork ribs into her mouth, just like a little squirrel, her mouth never stopping.
Seeing a pot of braised pork next to her, she picked up a piece and tasted it.
It's sweet and delicious!
She couldn't help but squint her eyes, feeling incredibly happy. This braised pork was truly authentic and incredibly delicious.
“Don’t eat too much.”
Lin Jingyu shook her head helplessly when she saw her, "If you eat too much meat, you won't be able to eat rice later."
"No, I'm going to eat a lot more later."
Peng Shiyu's eyes lit up, she wished she could devour it all, "It's so delicious!"
"Stop eating, come with me to deliver the groceries."
Lin Jingyu took out a large bowl and filled it with pork ribs and braised pork.
I also filled a bowl with sweet potato rice and put it into the shopping basket.
"Sister Jingyu, should we send it to Master Liu in the cowshed?"
Peng Shiyu sucked on her fingers and asked, "Didn't he say you shouldn't keep bringing him food? Why are you still bringing it to him?"
"He couldn't bear to cook something delicious all by himself."
Lin Jingyu took a clean cloth and draped it over the vegetable basket. "Every day I have to drive the oxcart to town, going back and forth constantly. My body won't be able to take it in the long run."
We'll take care of him as much as we can, and whenever we have something delicious to eat, we'll bring it over to him. It doesn't take much effort anyway.
Are you going?
If you're not going, I'll send it over first.
"I'm not going."
Peng Shiyu glanced at the blazing sun outside, shook her head, and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."
"OK."
Lin Jingyu walked out of the kitchen carrying a vegetable basket.
Seeing the people in the yard, sweating profusely as they chopped firewood, he couldn't help but say, "It's almost noon, wash your hands and eat first. We have enough firewood for now."
"It's okay, I'll make more."
Peng Qibo looked up and saw the vegetable basket in her hand, knowing where she was going. He couldn't help but ask, "The sun is getting strong. Should I take it to Master Liu?"
