Su Yan gently stroked Lu Yirou's little head, "You are all very good. Tell me, you specifically told me about being elected as class leaders. Do you want me to make you something delicious? What do you want to eat? I will make it for you."
Lu Yining said loudly: "Mom, I want to eat roasted pork belly."
Su Yan looked at Lu Yian and Lu Yiru, "What about you?"
Lu Yian raised his hand, "Mom, I want to eat grilled pork ribs."
Lu Yirou said, "Mom, I want to eat grilled chicken wings. Alas, it's a pity that a chicken only has two wings."
Lu Yiming, the doting maniac, said with a smile: "Sister, a chicken still has two legs, and the chicken breast can also be roasted. I will kill the two chickens in the chicken coop, and you can have four chicken wings.
An'an, Ningning, we don't have pork belly or spare ribs at home. If you want to eat roast pork belly and roast spare ribs, we can talk to you next time. Today we're having roast chicken."
Su Yan interrupted, "Okay, stop arguing. I'll ride my tricycle to buy groceries. Yiming, you boil water and kill the chicken. Rourou, you wash some lettuce. An'an, Ningning, take out the baking tray and clean it."
After Su Yan made the arrangements, she rode out on a tricycle and brought back a load of vegetables in half an hour.
Lu Yiming came over to help Su Yan unload the vegetables from the car one by one. "Mom, why did you buy so many cabbages and radishes?"
"There's not much left of the jar of kimchi I made last year. I'll make some more this year and bring some to you at school."
In order to allow her son to have a nap at noon, Su Yan usually did not let Lu Yiming come home at noon, and let him eat in the school cafeteria. He would come back to eat in the evening and then go back to school for evening self-study after dinner.
"I bought too much ribs and pork belly. Hey, there's even fresh beef."
"It's not much, only five pounds each. Eat more if you like."
Su Yan took all the meat to the kitchen, washed it, cut it into pieces, seasoned it, and brought it to the table. Lu Yining looked at the table full of meat and vegetables and exclaimed, "Two chickens, five pounds each of pork belly, ribs, and beef, can you finish them?"
"Okay, I'll take away some of it if you can't finish it."
"No, no, no, Mom, I'm just kidding. Dad will be home soon, and he eats more than my brother."
Lu Ting took off his gloves and military coat and walked in. "Who said I can eat? You brats are the ones who can really eat. Luckily, we have a good family background."
Su Yan took the military coat and helped hang it on the hanger. "I'm taking the kids to the film studio for an audition next Saturday."
"This way they won't be able to attend interest classes."
"They all have minor supporting roles and won't be able to shoot many scenes. It will be finished in less than a month."
"Do you want me to come and take you guys?"
"No, we'll take the bus."
Just as Lu Yiming put the chicken wings that his sister wanted to eat on the plate, Lu Yining picked up a few pieces of ribs and pork belly and filled the baking tray. The barbecued meat sizzled in the tray.
Seeing that she wouldn't be able to eat the barbecue for a while, Su Yan went back to the kitchen and fried the cold rice she hadn't finished at lunch with black truffles, sausages and eggs.
"The meat is slowly roasted, and each person can have a bowl of fried rice first."
Lu Yining scooped up the fried rice with a spoon and started eating it in big mouthfuls. "Mom, why is this Chinese sausage fried rice so fragrant? Are those black dots mushroom foam?"
"No, it's the pig fungus."
"The pig-grown mushrooms smell so good! Pigs really have better noses than humans."
The family talked and laughed while eating barbecue. At night, after the children fell asleep, Su Yan pulled Lu Ting into the space.
"Lu Ting, I'll boil some more water now. You can kill two pigs tonight!"
"Why kill so many pigs?"
"I plan to start making marinade tomorrow and go to the market on Monday to sell braised meat, chicken, and eggs."
"Yan Yan, we already have so much money, you don't have to work so hard."
"Who would complain about having too much money? Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, I want to send my children abroad to study and save more dowry for Rourou so that she won't be bullied when she gets married."
"Well, Rourou's dowry should be increased, and a house should be bought for her when she gets married."
Su Yan thought that in a few years, many people would sell their ancestral homes in order to go abroad, so she should take this opportunity to buy a few more houses.
Even if it was demolished in the 1990s, you could still make a lot of money. In short, you would make a profit if you bought it.
The next morning, Su Yan began to cook the marinade. In the afternoon, while the children were attending interest classes, she took out half a pig from the space, ten slaughtered chickens and ducks, two pairs of cleaned pig intestines, and a pig's head, and boiled them for later use.
There are two large pots on the stove in the courtyard kitchen, one is used for braising various meats and vegetables, and the other is used for braising offal.
Even if the internal organs, such as the large intestine and small tripe, were handled very cleanly, Su Yan felt that they still had some smell. She didn't want the smell of braised meat skewers, so she cooked them separately.
After cooking, she didn't rush to take it out. She covered the pot and let it soak overnight to make it more flavorful. She could then take it out early the next morning.
In the evening, she cooked in a small wok on the coal stove. Su Yan stir-fried some vegetables, and then took out a braised chicken, six braised eggs, and a piece of braised meat from the big pot, cut them up, and put them on a plate.
Lu Ting might be busy and didn't come back, but Su Yan didn't care. He didn't come back every day anyway, so even if the children ate all the food, he wouldn't be hungry. She could just make him a bowl of braised pork noodles.
"Try this braised pork I made today and see if it's delicious."
Lu Yiming picked up a piece of braised chicken and said, "The braised chicken tastes good, but I still prefer braised beef and pig's trotters."
Su Yan smiled and said, "I'll braise it for you when I buy the beef."
"Mom, are you going to sell braised pork? I think you can make more rice and put a coal stove on the tricycle to heat the braised pork. That way you can sell braised pork rice."
