Xiao Kai saw the bamboo tube that Feng Xigang had brought and said to Ruan Meng:
"Miss Meng, could you please pack a little of each of these braised dishes for me?"
Instead of hesitating, it's better to hurry up and make the most of the time.
I'll try to make it to dinner!
Ruan Meng readily agreed, but Feng Xi reminded her, "These bamboo tubes were prepared beforehand. They were rinsed with spring water and the edges were heated over a low flame, so they can be used directly."
With the help of my sister-in-law, we put one type of food in each bamboo tube until there was no more room.
We didn't get to try the pig skin and trotters earlier, so my sister-in-law cut them up, and Ruan Meng ladled out a bowl for everyone to try. (Image of braised pig trotters from the internet) "Delicious! Delicious!"
"It's not greasy at all! It tastes even better than lean meat!"
"That's right, that's right!"
......
Ruan Meng smiled and reminded everyone, "Ladies, eat more! This is good for your skin!"
"real?"
Sister-in-law Feng couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Duan was also overjoyed. She had tried every single dish during the tasting, which seemed to have relieved her emotional distress.
Xiao Kai seemed to be deep in thought, then tasted two more pieces. Ruan Meng pointedly remarked, "This stuff can be made into many different flavors!"
Xiao Kai looked at the bamboo tube outside, his heart yearning to return home!
We need to get back quickly; we can't let these "egg-laying hens" fly away!
The eldest sister-in-law filled the bamboo tube and instructed the second brother to put it into the bamboo basket.
They also cut off the pork skin and pig's trotters separately, put them in a bowl, and asked the third brother to take it to Granny Liu.
"Sister-in-law and little sister, you're so kind to Grandma Liu! You're so thoughtful!"
Sister-in-law Feng couldn't help but praise the Ruan family for their kind hearts.
"Actually, everyone in the village has been very kind to us. When we first arrived, we relied entirely on Grandma Liu..."
"They gave us a stone house to stay in, lent us blankets, and even though they didn't have many jicama, they brought us some..."
The elder sister-in-law explained.
Remembering Granny Liu's kindness and her experiences, everyone sighed with pity.
The second brother volunteered, "Brother Xiao Kai, shall I accompany you back to the city?"
Xiao Kai looked at his head, then at his calves. Although the redness and swelling had subsided, he still felt sorry for him.
"No, we're all family. Besides, I grew up by the sea, I'm not that spoiled!"
"Sending it back and forth wastes your time, it's a complete waste of time!"
Xiao Kai thought to himself, if he could close this deal when he got back, could he apply for a license so that he could drive alone in the future, which would make it more convenient for him to travel back and forth?
Ruan Meng packed several buckets of mint water for Xiao Kai so he could drink it on the road.
He also asked his sister-in-law for some funds and gave them to Xiao Kai, asking him to bring some food and supplies when he came over that evening.
Xiao Kai readily agreed and left without further delay, carrying his bamboo basket on his back. He couldn't miss dinner!
Who knows, this could be another profitable business!
The Song and Fan families' wives helped out for half a day, while the children were all at home.
The eldest sister-in-law told them to go back and rest. Sister-in-law Feng and her second sister-in-law had been busy collecting seafood that morning, so they were also persuaded by the eldest sister-in-law to go back and rest.
Before leaving, Ruan Meng cut a platter of braised meat for each of them to take back and appetize their children.
After everyone left, Ruan Meng prepared to knead dough, but her sister-in-law forcibly sent her back into the house.
"From now on, you're not allowed to do anything! Just rest!"
Ruan Meng got up and said, "Sister-in-law, cook rice later."
"Sister-in-law, cook!"
"I still need to make noodles for tonight..."
The men in the village all have big appetites and knead a lot of dough.
"I'll teach the third brother how to knead; he's stronger than you!"
Just then, the third brother returned after delivering the braised food and overheard the conversation between his sister-in-law and aunt, and he wholeheartedly agreed.
"Little sister, you rest! Wait for me, I'll knead the dough!"
The second child wasn't going to be outdone, saying, "I'll cook the rice! Sister, you don't need to do anything!"
"If you just get out of this bed, I'll..."
"I'm angry!"
Ruan Meng chuckled. Is this called...?
Hardcore romance?
Her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.
