Wan Xinyu, who was busy looking for something to sharpen his knife, was stunned when he saw what was in Jiang Yunshu's arms: "Jiang Zhiqing, what are you doing with this thing? It's not dirty enough."
"Light the fire and cook. When you stir-fry the food later, use the new pot we bought."
Wang Songshan had said so much yesterday. If she didn't follow through resolutely, wouldn't she be letting him down?
Humph, don't even think about getting any advantage from her.
Jiang Yunshu has been watching her grandmother make lard since she was a child. Influenced by her, she has become quite adept at making lard. When she was in her hometown in modern times, she would go to the vegetable market to buy pork fat and take it home to make lard when she had nothing to do.
Clear soup noodles made with lard and two drops of sesame oil are so delicious.
When she was young, she grew up relying on a bowl of clear soup noodles from her grandmother.
Jiang Yunshu uses the old method to boil lard. He blanchs the cut pork fat in water to remove the fishy smell, then adds water and boils it slowly.
Wan Xinyu, who was sitting in front of the stove and in charge of lighting the fire, smelled the aroma of lard coming from the pot and kept swallowing his saliva.
Woo woo woo, he wanted to eat meat so much.
Before, when he was in Beijing, he had three different meals a day and they were all meat. Unlike now, he was wronged everywhere and his mouth was almost dry.
A whole can of lard was boiled from a pair of pig fat. Jiang Yunshu bought the can of lard specially when he went to the county today.
Jiang Yunshu found an empty bowl to collect the remaining lard residue from boiling lard, so that he could use it when making a big pot dish the day after tomorrow.
Wan Xinyu, who was greedy, didn't care about the heat and directly picked up a piece of lard and started eating.
Even if it burns my tongue, I can't bear to let go.
After swallowing a piece of lard residue, Wan Xinyu said with emotion, "...It's delicious."
Jiang Yunshu said, "When you're full, come and work. They'll be off soon."
"Okay, today I'm going to show you my skills, just wait and see."
At this moment, Wan Xinyu, who was eager to eat meat, was full of motivation.
You don’t need to wash the pot you used to boil lard. Just use it to stir-fry the vegetables. Put the cubed meat directly into the pot and stir-fry.
Just for this braised pork, Jiang Yunshu also contributed a few pieces of rock sugar.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Sun Fangzhen and Zhou Lili, who were in charge of tonight's dinner, finished work early and returned home.
When they were still forty or fifty meters away from the educated youth site, they smelled the aroma of meat.
The further you go, the stronger the aroma of meat becomes.
Zhou Lili jokingly said, "It's not a festival, who's improved their food? It's so delicious, how can we, who haven't eaten meat for half a year, just live?"
Sun Fangzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems that this fragrance comes from our educated youth camp."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two looked at each other and ran back to the educated youth point.
"Are you guys cooking?" Zhou Lili's eyes almost glued shut as she stared at the steaming braised pork in the pot.
Jiang Yunshu said, "We'll be there soon. Please wait a moment."
The wheat straw was too flammable. She had to run several times just to cook a meal. In just a few days, the whole straw stack was emptied by her.
Moreover, sitting in front of the stove and making a fire, she was sweating all over, and the smoke and fire choked her so much that tears came out.
After the house is built, she will go to the county to see if she can buy a coal stove to put at home, which will be more convenient and save trouble.
Zhou Lili said, "Okay, hurry up. They'll get angry if they see the meal isn't ready after work."
Jiang Yunshu replied, "You guys go wait outside. We'll call you when we're done."
"Is there anything you need help with? We're free anyway, so we can lend a hand and help you out. This way, we can get things done faster."
It would be best if she could have a free meal.
The greasy braised pork looked delicious at first glance. Thinking of this, Zhou Lili swallowed her saliva in a cowardly manner.
Jiang Yunshu refused coldly.
"Okay then." Zhou Lili looked back every few steps, her eyes fixed on the braised pork in the pot.
At this time, the tender braised pork in the pot is ready.
Wan Xinyu immediately started to stir-fry the next dish. He scooped a large spoonful of lard from the oil tank and put it into the pot, and the aroma of the oil filled the air.
Zhou Lili, who hadn't even left the kitchen, saw this and immediately turned around and scolded them, "Jiang Zhiqing, how could you use our oil? And so much of it?"
Sun Fangzhen behind her also looked disapproving.
The oil in the oil tank was saved by their frugality. When they cook on weekdays, they just dip a pair of chopsticks in it and it’s enough for the dishes to have a little fishy smell. They are not willing to waste it like this.
Wan Xinyu frowned and said, "I use our oil. I don't even know where your oil is."
Zhou Lili shouted, "Wan Zhiqing, you're still lying even now. If you don't compensate us for the oil we used today, I'm going to find the team leader and ask him to seek justice."
They were all sick and always wanted to go to the team leader. Wan Xinyu, who had lost all patience, said, "You have to go now. If you don't go, you're a grandson."
Zhou Lili's face flushed with anger, tears welling up in her eyes. "Wan Zhiqing, wait a minute. I'll go right away."
Before Zhou Lili and Sun Fangzhen even stepped out of the kitchen, Jiang Yunshu called out, "Is this your oil tank? You'd better take a good look before you go find the captain."
"Why isn't it ours..."
When Zhou Lili saw the oil tank full of oil, she felt like something was blocking her throat and suddenly became speechless.
Sun Fangzhen was also speechless. This was not their oil tank.
They don't have that much oil in their tanks.
They have run out of oil.
"Apologize. If you don't apologize, we'll go find the captain."
Jiang Yunshu folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the kitchen door, looking as if he would not let them go unless they apologized.
