Since Chen Ming is not coming today, she plans to bring it to him when she has a couple of days off.
Wash and soak the cured duck, pour oil into the pot and fry until it changes color. Normally, you should add beer to stew it.
But beer shouldn't be here at this time, so Xu Manman added white wine and star anise to stew it, and put dried tofu and potatoes as side dishes, making a big pot full. The staple food was cornmeal pancakes.
The food here was stewed, and Chen Ming had also finished a test paper.
Different from the sauce stew in Northeast China, Xu Manman made Hunan-style spicy stew today, which can better bring out the flavor of the cured duck.
Not only a lot of dried chili peppers were added, but also a lot of millet peppers. The two siblings were sweating profusely while eating. Xu Manman was a little more tolerant to spicy food, but Chen Ming kept gasping for breath while eating.
Fortunately, Xu Manman was well prepared and had prepared a large pot of cold green tea in advance, which her cousin drank like crazy.
Chen Ming chewed the tortilla soaked in soup and said, "Sister, today's dish is really..."
"It's too spicy?" She herself was a little overwhelmed by the spiciness.
“It’s so delicious!”
Xu Manman was surprised. He was so spicy. Xu Manman thought he would not be used to it. Is he addicted to spicy food?
"It's so delicious, but a little hot." It's spicy and hot, so it's hot.
"If it's delicious, eat it all. I'll make something lighter tonight."
Xu Manman was full, and there was still 1/3 left in the pot. Judging from her cousin's fighting ability, it should be no problem for him to finish it.
Chen Ming has to do a test today, so Xu Manman has to work alone in the afternoon.
When Xu Manman returned to the educated youth camp after work, her cousin was still busy doing his homework. She didn't disturb him and took a bamboo basket to pick vegetables from her private plot.
Unexpectedly, Xue Mingxin did not go up the mountain, but followed directly.
He didn't deliberately get close to Xu Manman, but just kept in sync with her and went to his own private plot to pick vegetables. After Xu Manman finished, he stopped and walked back.
This made Xu Manman feel a little suffocated, but she couldn't argue with him.
After picking bitter melon, loofah and some beans and vegetables, Xu Manman returned with the basket.
Chen Ming just finished the test and came out to get some fresh air, and then he saw Xue Mingxin following behind Xu Manman.
Chen Ming stepped forward and pushed Xu Manman into the house first, "Xue Zhiqing, let's talk."
Xue Mingxin met Chen Ming's gaze calmly, "Okay."
First put the vegetable basket under your eaves, then follow Chen Ming out.
The other people watching at the educated youth point were all peeking in. Liu Hua and Yang Lili were also sitting under the eaves, holding their stomachs and eating watermelons. When the two of them walked out, they subconsciously stood up and were about to follow them, but were stopped by their partners.
Xu Manman was not worried at all and cooked calmly in the house.
Young people are full of energy, so exercise is a good way to burn off excess energy. She also firmly believes that these two people are sensible people, and there is no chance of anyone losing limbs or dying.
She prepared stir-fried bitter melon, loofah and egg soup, stir-fried beans and eggplant, and stir-fried pork with vegetables.
After Xu Manman finished cooking, the two people who had "chatted" entered the yard one after another.
The people who had been waiting at the educated youth point for a long time suddenly widened their eyes, trying to discern the battle situation between the two men from the folds of their clothes.
Xu Manman came out and took a closer look at Chen Ming. There was no redness, swelling or bruises on his face. Except for his clothes being a little wrinkled and stained with dust, everything else was fine.
He looked at Xue Mingxin behind him again, and Xue Mingxin looked up at him at that moment. Xu Manman's heart trembled. The bruises at the corners of her mouth, the red eyes and the slightly messy black hair made her look like a battle-damaged beauty.
Xu Manman pinched her palms to stay awake and called her cousin, "The meal is ready, come and eat, it will get cold soon." She didn't look at anyone and went straight back to the house after saying that.
Xue Mingxin stood there looking at the closed door, lowered his eyes, and turned to go into the house.
Yang Lili clutched her chest and said, "This Xue Zhiqing, he's really..."
Liu Hua continued, "I feel pity for you."
When the two of them look at each other, your cp and her cp seem to be the same.
While eating, Xu Manman didn't ask Chen Ming what had happened between them. She just ate as if nothing had happened.
Chen Ming still lost his temper and said, "I beat him up and told him to stay away from you."
Xu Manman picked up a piece of green beans with chopsticks and said, "Hmm, the cooking is perfect today and the seasoning is just right."
Chen Ming cautiously glanced at the seemingly indifferent Xu Manman and continued, "He didn't fight back the entire time. He even seemed to be refusing to give up, saying he wouldn't give up...Manman, don't worry. If he dares to harass you again, tell me and I'll beat him up again."
Xu Manman swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "No need. I have already made it clear to him. During my time in the countryside, I will not consider the issue of a partner. As for what he wants to do, it is his freedom. As long as he does not disturb my life, it's fine."
