Hearing Li Dani mention it now, I realized that the commotion at Fan Qian's house this morning was related to the landlord!
They had no objection to Zhao Di, and they all agreed with the decision made by their employer. However, they were extremely disgusted with the employer's eldest brother and his family!
Hong Daniu sighed, looking worried: "The boss has another child to raise. I wonder if he's left any pork for himself?"
"Pig offal has a strong smell, so only poor people would buy it to eat in order to save money. I don't know how the host can get used to it."
"The Dong family is really humble and unassuming. Look at their children, they can read and write, and they can also work in the fields and on the mountain. They are not spoiled at all, and they eat well too."
They could have easily eaten pork leg meat themselves, giving the offal and bones to the others, but they insisted on eating the inferior food themselves...
Shui Qing didn't think the food was bad at all!
Pig intestines, pig stomach, pig kidneys, ribs—which of these items isn't much more expensive than pork in online stores? In fact, they're several times more expensive!
In Guangning Prefecture, the pork ribs are so cleanly trimmed that only a tiny bit of meat remains on the large pork bones. But in the market, the pork ribs have chunks of meat on them that weigh as much as the bones, all so that the meat can be sold at the price of pork ribs.
Mr. Hu had been a butcher for decades, and deboning had become a habit. Even though he constantly reminded himself that these were pigs raised by his daughter's family and were for their own consumption, so he didn't need to debon them too thoroughly, he could still manage to debon the ribs, but he still managed to debon the large bones completely.
Fortunately, his daughter didn't seem to care much, which relieved him slightly.
Shui Qing genuinely didn't care. If she wanted to eat pork, she could simply leave it. It wasn't like she couldn't make a decision for someone else.
My family has never felt the food was bad; in fact, they've become loyal fans of braised pork intestines, stir-fried pork kidneys, pork tripe and yam soup, pork tripe and chicken stew, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, fish head and pork bone soup, and more!
Today is Zhao Di's first meal after officially joining the family, and we took the opportunity to celebrate with a variety of ingredients. Shui Qing made an especially sumptuous meal.
Pig head, pig intestines, pig tail, and pig trotters are all braised in one pot. Once cooked, they can be served directly on a plate. It's simple, hearty, and authentic, so everyone can enjoy it to their heart's content.
Stir-fry pork kidneys with green peppers, garlic sprouts, and a spoonful of homemade chili sauce; it's incredibly delicious with rice.
The ribs are coated in flour batter and fried until golden brown and crispy. They are then made into sweet and sour ribs with a sweet and sour sauce, which children especially love.
After blanching the pork stomach, stew it together with yam on a small red clay stove over charcoal. Before serving, sprinkle with goji berries. The soup is milky white and rich, and paired with red beans, it's delicious, beautiful, and nutritious.
There were no bighead carp today, and other fish heads were too small to be suitable for soup, so I added tender bok choy to the bone broth.
With a few main meat dishes taken care of, the remaining side dishes are much simpler, mostly vegetarian, and we just eat whatever is available from the garden.
China's greenhouse technology is very advanced, and all kinds of vegetables are available all year round, without having to worry about the season. Shuiqing used to live in the city and could buy whatever she wanted to eat. She had eaten so many out-of-season vegetables that she forgot what vegetables were available in each season. But after coming here, she eats seasonal vegetables the most.
Shuiqing really likes the vegetables that grow naturally under the sun and rain; they taste delicious, and the food cooked on a wood-fired stove is even more fragrant.
The others were even more satisfied.
Even Ling Ran and Bai Ziqian, who came from good families and were knowledgeable, felt that the delicacies in restaurants outside could not compare to the food prepared by Aunt Shuiqing!
Fan Zhaodi felt that she had never been so valued since she could remember.
