Mu Yunxi cut the two large pieces of beef into pieces weighing about one pound each.
Then start slicing the beef...
Seeing that both of them had started to work, Han Aiguo was the only one who was still idle, so he quickly came to Mu Yunxi's side and wanted to take over the work in her hands.
"Sister Mu, I know how to cut meat. Let me do it."
Han Aiguo said as he reached out to Mu Yunxi, wanting to take the kitchen knife from her.
Mu Yunxi tilted her head slightly to look at him and saw that he was smiling earnestly.
After thinking about it...I didn't refuse anymore and handed the knife to him.
"Then just slice it according to this thickness."
Han Aiguo's eyes were filled with brilliant stars at this moment.
He smiled and responded,
"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at cutting meat."
After Han Aiguo finished speaking, he took the kitchen knife and couldn't wait to show it off.
Mu Yunxi stood aside and saw that the slices of meat he cut were of uniform thickness, about the same size as hers.
Just take out the beef to be sliced and put it aside...
Put all the remaining beef to be stewed in a wooden basin and soak it in clean water to remove the blood from the beef.
: "These all need to be sliced, thank you for your hard work." Mu Yunxi said softly.
Han Aiguo smiled like a child who was rewarded with candy by the kindergarten teacher, his voice full of joy and excitement.
: "It's not hard... It's not hard... I just love working!"
Mu Yunxi: "..."
Mu Yunshu: “…”
Mu Yunxi smiled gently and did not respond.
Mu Yunshu glanced at him coldly and said,
"Yes, he likes to work when he has nothing to do. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't work for a while. After cutting the meat, he will clean the yard and then go to the back mountain to collect some firewood. This will prevent you from feeling uncomfortable when you are idle for a while."
Mu Yunshu's voice was flat and calm, without any emotional ups and downs, as if he was just stating the facts.
Han Aiguo; “!!!”
Forgot her brother was here!
I almost dug a hole and buried myself!
Han Aiguo's eyes moved slightly, and he said shamelessly,
"Brother Mu really understands me. He knows that I am a hardworking person. Sister Mu, if you have any work to do, just tell me. I will do it very efficiently."
Han Aiguo smiled brightly, looking extremely sincere.
Mu Yunxi naturally wouldn't take what the two said seriously.
But she still politely said yes.
The work was handed over to Han Aiguo...
Mu Yunxi took out all the ingredients that would be used later and processed them one by one.
Prepare the side dishes and ingredients you will need later.
Mu Yunxi then began to wash the rice, light a fire, and steam the rice.
It takes a while for the rice to be cooked...
Mu Yunxi found the small stove and small iron pot that she had used for cooking before.
This small iron pot is just the right size for making braised beef.
It will not delay cooking and it is convenient to watch the fire so that the beef can slowly stew in the pot.
Blanch the beef in cold water, boil for about two minutes, then remove and rinse clean.
Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry scallion and ginger slices until fragrant, then add appropriate amount of soybean paste and stir-fry until the sauce flavor comes out.
Then add appropriate amount of soy sauce...cooking wine...peppercorns...dried chili peppers...star anise...bay leaves...tsaoko...salt...and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add the beef and pour an appropriate amount of boiling water into the pot to cover the beef. Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for two hours.
Han Aiguo finished cutting the beef and pork and came over again.
He smelled the fragrance in the air, his face somewhat intoxicated.
"It smells so good now. It will be ready in a while... I can't even imagine how delicious it will be! Sister Mu, you are such a great cook!"
Han Aiguo looked at Mu Yunxi with his eyes curved in smile.
Mu Yunshu, who was washing mushrooms, glanced at him coldly when he heard this.
I only knew that this guy was thick-skinned!
Now it seems...
It's more than just thick-skinned...!
It's so shameless!
How come I didn't realize this guy was so eloquent before...
Mu Yunshu narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and a trace of regret suddenly arose in his heart...
He shouldn't have let this kid send him here!
This kid is obviously a big-tailed wolf with bad intentions, who wants to take advantage of his own sister.
Rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows!
This kid actually wants to take away the cabbage that his family has carefully cared for for more than ten years!
It's so shameless!
But looking at his sister who looked calm and without a hint of shyness...
Mu Yunshu's anxious heart finally calmed down a lot.
......
The kitchen is bustling with activity...
Han Aiguo watched the fire in the small stove for the braised beef...
Mu Yunshu sat in front of the stove, helping to light the fire and serve the dishes, while Mu Yunxi was in charge of cooking...
Boiled beef...Stir-fried beef...Beef and mushroom stew...Braised pork...Preserved pork with preserved vegetables...Steamed Chinese sausage...
Just stir-fry another little bok choy, then you can turn off the heat and start eating.
: "Xixi... I'm back!"
As the last dish came out of the pot, Sheng Zhiyi's happy voice rang out in the yard...
