Jiang Manyue cooks meat much more delicately than Miao Xianghua and the others. She first blanches the pork in water, then heats oil in a pan and adds rock sugar. After frying until the sugar turns brown, she puts the blanched pork in.
After the pork is stir-fried and colored, add seasonings and stir-fry evenly. Pour into a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, and simmer on a small charcoal stove over low heat.
Because the small charcoal stove could not be left alone, Jiang Manyue sat at the kitchen door, resting while watching the fire in the charcoal stove.
When Li Guifen came back, Jiang Manyue's braised pork was almost done. Although the pot was covered, the aroma of the meat still overflowed.
"Man Yue, are you stewing meat? Why does it smell so good?"
Li Guifen smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't help but walk towards the charcoal stove.
Jiang Manyue leaned back in her chair with her eyes slightly narrowed, and nodded, "I went to the county town and brought back a piece of meat. I stewed some braised pork."
Li Guifen was so attracted by the fragrance that she couldn't help but swallow her saliva loudly, which was heard clearly by both of them.
Jiang Manyue opened her eyes and said casually, "Mom, why don't you take a pair of chopsticks and try to see if the meat is tender. If it is tender, I won't add charcoal. Just keep it warm."
Li Guifen was a little embarrassed. She waved her hand and said she had something else to do. She turned around and walked into the house in a hurry.
Jiang Manyue watched her leave and called out from behind, "Mom, don't forget to cook. I'll go to the private plot and pick some vegetables to stir-fry and we'll have dinner."
Li Guifen staggered, responded twice randomly and went into the house.
Jiang Manyue ignored her and continued to doze off by the charcoal stove with her eyes closed.
Lu Jun'an came back from playing very quickly and smelled a fragrance as soon as he entered the yard.
He is no longer afraid of Jiang Manyue, but rather likes to stick to her.
Seeing Jiang Manyue sitting at the kitchen door, the fragrance seemed to come from the pot in front of her, and Lu Junan ran over in two or three steps.
"Auntie, what is this? It smells so good!"
Jiang Manyue raised her chin towards the kitchen and said, "Go get some chopsticks and I'll give you a piece to try."
Lu Jun'an quickly ran into the kitchen, got a pair of chopsticks, and stood obediently in front of Jiang Manyue, waiting for her to lift the lid.
Jiang Manyue wrapped it with a rag and opened the lid of the pot. Suddenly, a rich aroma of meat hit her face.
Lu Jun'an's mouth was watering. He had never smelled such a delicious meat before!
Jiang Manyue motioned Lu Jun'an to pick up some meat. "Come on, pick up a piece and try to see if it's cooked through."
Lu Jun'an couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and stuff it directly into his mouth.
Jiang Manyue didn't even have time to say "blow on it before eating" before she watched him stuff it into his mouth with great speed.
Lu Jun'an was so burned that he kept jumping up and down, sucking air into his mouth and fanning his mouth with his hands, but he was reluctant to spit out the meat.
Jiang Manyue quickly fetched a bowl of well water. After Lu Jun'an finally swallowed the meat, she asked him to hold the cold well water in his mouth to prevent blisters from forming in his mouth.
"Look how anxious you are! Can this meat actually grow legs and run away? You dare to put it directly into your mouth when it's still bubbling in the pot! If you burn your little tongue, you'll have to watch us eat meat today."
Jiang Manyue poked Lu Jun'an's wet cheeks, thinking that the bulge was quite funny, so she poked him a few more times.
Lu Jun'an couldn't speak with water in his mouth, so he squinted his eyes and smiled at Jiang Manyue. Maybe he was so happy with the meal that he didn't even care about the heat.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Manyue found it funny. She let him hold some water in his mouth twice, then looked at his mouth. After making sure that there was no problem with the burns, she picked up another piece of meat, blew it cool, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
“Is it delicious?”
Jiang Manyue saw him chewing meat happily and deliberately teased him to talk.
Lu Jun'an had a small mouth and a relatively large piece of meat, which was stuffed full. He really couldn't speak, so he could only nod vigorously.
After finally swallowing the meat in his mouth, he finally had the chance to speak, "Auntie's meat is so delicious, I've never eaten such delicious meat!"
As he spoke, he smacked his lips, savored the taste, and said with certainty, "Auntie's meat is the most delicious. No one can cook better than her!"
Jiang Manyue was amused by him, "Then you must eat more at lunch later. Eating more meat can help you gain weight and grow taller."
When Lu Jun'an heard this, his eyes lit up, "Can I be as tall and powerful as my uncle?"
Jiang Manyue couldn't help but recall Lu Lin's appearance. He had broad shoulders, long legs and was tall. There was really nothing wrong with his figure.
She also remembered the appearance of Lu Wei, the eldest brother of the Lu family. He seemed to be shorter than Lu Lin, but Lu Lin seemed to be about 186 cm tall, while Lu Wei was only a little shorter, probably about 183 cm tall.
Father Lu was not short. Although he was not as tall as his two sons, he was still considered tall in the production team.
Jiang Manyue thought that the Lu family probably had a gene for being tall, so she nodded confidently, "Eat and sleep well, eat more meat and eggs, and I'll make malted milk with your milk. Just drink it obediently. You will definitely be more powerful than your uncle in the future."
Lu Jun'an nodded happily, "Okay! I want to eat more! I want to be taller than my uncle!"
Jiang Manyue touched his head and thought about making something to supplement his body with various elements to make up for his natural weakness.
After thinking about it, Jiang Manyue decided to go to the pharmacy in the space during her nap to see if there were any nutritional supplements for children that could provide calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and vitamins.
Li Guifen just came out of the house at this time. She calculated that it was time to cook. If she didn't cook, Father Lu would have to wait for food with an empty stomach when he came home.
When Jiang Manyue saw her come out, she naturally pulled Lu Jun'an and prepared to take him to pick vegetables in the private plot.
"Mom, I'm going to take Jun'an to pick some vegetables. You should hurry up and cook. It's almost time to get off work."
After saying that, Jiang Manyue took the still happy Lu Junan's hand and went to the private plot.
Li Guifen looked at Lu Jun'an clinging to Jiang Manyue, and a strange feeling inexplicably surged in her heart.
Originally, Jiang Manyue's attitude towards Jun'an was really intolerable to her, so she sent a telegram to ask Alin to come back and divorce.
Moreover, Jiang Manyue's personality made it difficult for her to get along with her family. She was afraid that the Lu and Jiang families would become enemies because of this marriage, so she wanted to divorce early.
But Jiang Manyue seemed to have become a different person in the past few days. She had a very good relationship with Jun An and no longer looked down on her and Lao Lu. This made her feel that the telegram seemed a little too early.
If Jiang Manyue would always be like this, she still felt that it would be better to match Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin together and have two more children, so that their life would be complete and happy, rather than getting a divorce.
Li Guifen felt a little regretful as she thought about it. If she had known earlier, she would not have been so anxious to send the telegram. It would have been better to wait a few more days.
Lu Lin still doesn't know when he will be able to complete the mission and come back. Seeing how close Jun'an and Jiang Manyue are, I'm afraid that if Jiang Manyue really lets go, Jun'an will be the first to disagree.
Li Guifen felt a little worried when she thought about it. She sighed while washing rice.
