Seeing that she truly understood, Xie Yan smiled and walked out. It felt pretty good to have revealed this secret!
Feeling refreshed and invigorated!
From now on, I won't need to make excuses when I take out anything.
This feeling is just so amazing!
Lying in the rocking chair, Xie Yan picked up a medical book to read, but he couldn't concentrate after reading more than a few lines. How annoying! It seems he's hit a creative block lately; he just can't seem to get into anything he reads.
He was particularly struck by the various acupoints and structures of the human body, which gave him a headache!
Without a mannequin, he really couldn't tell the difference! Just looking at the illustrations left him completely confused!
Xie Yan even began to doubt whether he was cut out for studying medicine!
The confidence I gained from learning how to prepare food a while ago was shattered into eight pieces.
It seems he's really not cut out for medicine!
Should we just give up?
After thinking it over, Xie Yan decided not to force herself. She was just killing time anyway, so there was no need to make herself feel so uncomfortable.
He put down his book, lay down on the bed, and prepared to take a nap. Since he couldn't concentrate on studying, he might as well sleep!
In the world of Xie Yan, there's nothing a good meal can't solve; and if it really can't, then just take another nap.
When I woke up, I had forgotten all my worries.
A faint fragrance wafted in the middle of the night, and in her dream, Xie Yan returned to the past. After getting off work, she was strolling around a late-night food stall. The food at the barbecue stall looked especially tempting today, so Xie Yan decided to splurge and bought herself a large box.
I couldn't wait to start eating it after I got it, but it was really strange. The barbecue smelled amazing, but it tasted like nothing.
Xie Yan was very skeptical and picked up each one to take a bite, even the chicken leg had no taste.
As for why there were chicken legs, he didn't know either; the whole table was now covered with his favorite foods.
The chicken feet were covered in chili peppers, but they tasted completely bland.
Xie Yan was jolted awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Yan biting his own hand, his fingers were red from biting, and his entire hand was covered in saliva.
Before Xie Yan could feel embarrassed, he smelled the fragrance from his dream, and for a moment he thought he hadn't woken up yet and was still dreaming.
Just then, a soft laugh came from ahead. Xie Yan looked up and saw Yu Yuehui smiling with her eyes crinkled, and the steaming meat next to her.
The fragrance comes from here.
Xie Yan's eyes were fixed on the bowl of meat. He looked nervously at Yu Yuehui, "You've already finished rendering the oil? Is this meat for me?"
Yu Yue smiled and nodded. She thought Xie Yan must be a monster with very shallow cultivation, and not very smart. Could he be a silly roe deer?
But it doesn't look like it!
She's grown up to be so good-looking; she doesn't look like a silly roe deer spirit at all!
Xie Yan had no idea that he had become a silly little deer in his wife's eyes. Her eyes were shining as she looked at the steaming meat not far away, the meat that had been cooked in his favorite sauce.
This kind of meat is completely different from ordinary boiled meat because various spices and a lot of salt are added when rendering the oil, and the meat is cut into small pieces. Therefore, the rendered meat is not only flavorful but also crispy, and most importantly, it is all lean meat.
One bite and your mouth will be filled with delicious flavor!
Unlike pork cracklings, this method produces meat with a crispy outer skin, perfectly described as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—a paradise for those who love strong flavors.
Anyway, Xie Yan really liked to eat it. When he was little, his grandma would scoop a little bit out of his food with a small spoon. But since he went to the city with his parents, he has never eaten it again.
Xie Yan picked up a piece and handed it to Yu Yuehui. Watching her finish it, he couldn't help but smile. "Wasn't it delicious?"
Yu Yue nodded with a smile, "It's delicious. Eat more. I prefer the fatty part; this lean meat isn't oily!"
Xie Yan shook his head. "It's not that you don't know the benefits of lean meat yet. You'll understand how good lean meat is once you get tired of eating fatty meat!"
Yu Yue shook her head. "How could that be? How can you get tired of eating fatty meat?"
Xie Yan smiled mysteriously, "You'll get tired of this later!"
After taking a few bites, Xie Yan asked worriedly, "You didn't cut all the meat off, did you?"
Although it's a small bowl, there's quite a bit of meat in it!
Yu Yuehui was soaking her clothes in a basin when she heard Xie Yan's words and turned around. "No, leave about half a jin for me!"
Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, there was still some left.
He also wants to eat a boiled sliced pork!
The next day happened to be Sunday, and Xie Yan slept in for the first time in a long time.
It feels so good to sleep until you naturally wake up!
Xie Yan opened his eyes and stretched comfortably!
I miss the days when I didn't have to go to work!
He lay on the kang (heated brick bed) for a while before slowly getting up.
When he came out, he saw Yu Yuehui washing green beans. He was a little surprised, "Why are you washing so many! We can't possibly eat that many!"
Don't we usually only pick as much as we need?
All the beans that needed to be dried have already been dried! Perhaps there are too many green beans and you want to dry some more?
Yu Yuehui picked up a large basin of water, easily poured it out, and said with a smile, "This is for pickling vegetables, not for eating!"
After saying that, she filled a large bucket with water, poured it into the basin, and started washing again.
Xie Yan went over to take a look and exclaimed, "So many of them need to be pickled! Is the whole basket of them going to be pickled?"
Yu Yue looked at him speechlessly, "At the rate at which you eat pickled vegetables every day, I'm afraid this won't be enough. See that basket? The cabbage in there also needs to be pickled."
"And those little radishes over there, they all need to be pickled too!"
