Even so, it did not alleviate the trend of my cousin becoming thinner.
Not to mention Chen Ming, Xu Manman herself has also lost a lot of weight, and her belt has become looser. However, the flesh where it should be is not only still there, but it is even showing signs of continuing to grow.
Anyway, what's the best way to nourish your body after a hard day's work? It has to be the famous Singaporean, Malaysian, and Thai dish—Bak Kut Teh!
It is called tea, but it is actually a bowl of rich broth, made from pork bones with meat, boiled with herbs and spices, and then the foam is skimmed off.
In some places, soy sauce is added to the dish, and the broth is tea-colored, which is not the reason why it got its name.
Xu Manman had a modified version of Bak Kut Teh today. The tea-colored broth can be filled with pork bones, meat from different parts of the pig, and offal. Enoki mushrooms, fried bean curd sheets, and fried dough sticks can also be added.
If you think the taste is bland, you can dip it in some chili sauce.
Xu Manman also made a bowl of dry bak kut teh, choosing the meat of her choice, pouring tea soup over it and boiling it until dry, and then adding side dishes such as chili peppers.
The flavor is even richer and goes well with rice. Since it feels too meaty, Xu Manman also added a plate of blanched lettuce.
The meal was satisfying and nourishing, but it was a pity that she couldn't share it with her older cousin, so she had to enjoy it all by herself.
After the meal, she made herself a cup of herbal tea. The taste was incomparable to the Laoji herbal tea in her previous life. It was so bitter that Xu Manman's facial features were squeezed together. After drinking it in big gulps, she had another cup of sugarcane juice to relieve the bitterness.
There's no way. It's very hot here in the summer. Xu Manman feels that she can't eat recently. She must be getting a little irritated.
This kind of herbal tea, the more bitter it is, the more effective it is. It is a specialty of Guangdong and Guangxi. My mother drank it countless times in her previous life. There are also various soups with medicinal flavors.
Even now, I still can't get used to their taste.
......
The next afternoon, the village chief announced the punishment for Wang Wei: two months of farm reform. The staff of the commune revolutionary committee also came with him and took him away immediately after the announcement.
Those who do wrong will be punished, and those who stay will still have to live.
Li Mao secured a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and began traveling between the commune and the village to handle various procedures. What he was most worried about was his newlywed wife.
"Afang, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as the holiday starts." Li Mao looked at Wan Fang reluctantly and said, "We won't go back to our hometown for the New Year this year. I'll be back during the winter vacation. Take all the money at home and eat and drink as you please. If you need anything, go find Lin Zuxin. I've made all the arrangements."
"Well, the winter and summer vacations in college are quite long. It will be snowing when you have vacation." Wan Fang was also reluctant, but this was a matter of pursuing the future. Husband and wife are one. As long as Li Mao is well, their small family will get better and better.
"Don't overwork yourself at work. I heard there are subsidies for university studies. I'll send the money back."
"No, your subsidies are to keep us from going hungry. Everything in the city costs money. I'm used to working, so I won't be tired. Just take care of yourself."
Li Mao couldn't help himself and went forward to embrace Wan Fang. "Wait for me. After I graduate, I will take you back to the city."
Wan Fang buried her face in Li Mao's shoulder, and the tears she had been holding back finally fell. For four years, she had become accustomed to having this person by her side, and now they were about to be separated after just a short marriage.
Before Li Mao left, he no longer needed to go to work, but he still insisted on going to work every day, even more vigorously than before.
He was not idle after work. He got up early in the morning and went up the mountain to collect firewood. The pile of firewood under their eaves became higher and higher. It seemed that he wanted to prepare all the firewood for his wife before leaving.
Finally, before leaving, he visited every room in the educated youth site, even visiting Chen Ming who came to visit his cousin, so that everyone could take good care of Wan Fang while he was away.
In fact, as an educated youth who had been working in the countryside for four years, Wan Fang had no problem living independently, but her husband was worried about her. If something happened while he was away, he would be far away and unable to help.
After experiencing the Wang Wei incident, he did not dare to test human nature, but after he left, Wan Fang had to stay in the village alone. He did not ask them to take care of everything, but he would be very grateful if they could help him when he had problems.
Xu Manman had just arrived in the countryside and didn't know anything. Wan Fang taught her everything, and even if he didn't tell her, she would still help. "Don't worry, Li Zhiqing, Sister Fang helps me a lot. I won't stand idly by if something happens."
