Chapter 4 Love at First Sight
Lin Su'e sent Zhao Fenglan to eat steamed cake and started to process the pork belly.
She is going to make traditional braised pork today.
Wash the meat, add warm water and soak for about 10 minutes. Then, change the well water. It is best to use ice water, but there is no refrigerator now. Fortunately, the well water below has a similar effect. Soak it for 10 minutes, then pour an appropriate amount of rice wine and marinate for 3 minutes.
Next, a very important step.
Put the pork belly in a pot and steam it until the meat turns white.
Leave the steamed meat sauce in the pot and save it for later use.
Let it cool slightly, then cut into pieces as wide as two thumbs.
Remove from heat.
Put star anise, bay leaves and cinnamon into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then set aside.
Turn to low heat.
Add the pork belly and fry until both sides are golden brown and slightly fat comes out, then serve.
Drain the oil.
Add sugar.
Stir-fry until sugar color comes out, turn to high heat, add pork belly and spices, stir-fry until fragrant, then add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and rice wine.
Then, pour in the steaming gravy.
Turn to low heat again.
Cover the pot and cook for about half an hour.
Finished the work.
Only then did Lin Su'e notice a group of heads popping out of the door.
She said with a smile: "What are you all doing like thieves?"
Zhao Zhenli swallowed his saliva: "Mom, it smells so good~"
Zhao Yulan quickly agreed: "This braised pork looks delicious."
Zhao Zhenxin looked at the pot with his head tilted, drooling.
The two older ones, Zhao Zhenren and Zhao Zhenyi, were more stable, but their trembling Adam's apples still betrayed their true feelings.
Zhao Fenglan was also greedy, but she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Mom, did you cook all the two pounds of meat?"
Originally, according to her idea, one pound would be enough. Now the weather is not hot, so she can eat the remaining one pound in a few days.
"Um."
Lin Su'e looked at her second daughter, whose face showed heartache, and said nothing more.
Anyway, she will like this kind of food after a while.
She looked around the kitchen and ordered, "Fenglan, go and peel five potatoes for me."
"Second brother, go pick some cucumbers from the field."
Zhao Fenglan: "Okay, Mom."
Zhao Zhenyi: "That's right." He turned around and left. Zhao Zhenli followed behind him: "Second brother, I'll go with you."
Zhao Yulan also shouted: "I want to go too."
Zhao Zhenxin has always been inseparable from his twin sisters, and he immediately said, "I'll go too."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Su'e blurted out: "Zhenxin is not allowed to go."
Everyone was shocked.
"mom."
Zhao Zhenxin looked timid.
Seeing this, Lin Su'e realized that she had overreacted and that Zhao Zhenxin might not have a tumor in his brain.
However, it is better to be safe than sorry.
She took a deep breath and forced a natural smile: "We don't need so many people to pick cucumbers. You guys might just make things worse. The second one can go alone."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the audience relaxed.
Zhao Zhenyi hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm going."
When Lin Su'e saw her youngest son pursed his lips with a hint of grievance, her heart softened and she walked forward and gently stroked his head.
The little guy stiffened, then relaxed.
Lin Su'e looked at her son, who was pale and thin with baby fat on his face, and a skinny little figure appeared in her mind.
In her previous life, accidents happened one after another in her family. First, Zhao Zhenren died in a coal mine accident and became disabled, then her eldest daughter fell into the water and died, and then Zhao Zhenyi ran away from home. She was exhausted and naturally neglected the younger ones.
As a result, when the tumor in Zhao Zhenxin's brain was discovered, it was already more than 4 centimeters.
Based on the medical level at the time, the success rate was less than 20%.
To make matters worse, he fell and went to the hospital, only to find out that he was at risk of breaking his bones and had to undergo surgery.
The god of fate never favored their family and the operation failed.
Lin Su'e will always remember the child, who had just turned 10, lying on a stretcher with his face pale and eyes closed.
Since then, she has lived in regret and self-blame.
This can obviously be avoided. As long as you are more careful and pay more attention to your child, you can find out that your child is not feeling well early and...
Zhao Zhenxin's shameful whisper awakened her thoughts: "Mom, I want to pee."
Lin Su'e: "..."
The suppressed emotions were interrupted, she looked at her son with red cheeks, smiled softly, and waved: "Go."
Doing it again is not a way for her to feel sorry for herself.
This time, no tragedy will happen and the whole family will be fine.
must.
…
Half an hour later.
Lin Su'e opened the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma of meat hit her face.
Looking at the red and shiny pork belly in the pot, she nodded with satisfaction, scooped it up quickly and put it on a plate. The meat bounced twice.
I could hear the sound of people swallowing saliva.
Hand it to Fenglan.
"Bring it over."
"Okay, Mom."
Then, I stir-fried some shredded potatoes and made some cucumber and egg soup.
At the dinner table.
There were three dishes and one soup: traditional braised pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes, steamed pumpkin and cucumber and egg soup.
No one moved.
6 pairs of 12 eyes looked at Lin Su'e. She smiled slightly and picked up a potato with chopsticks.
Next second.
6 pairs of chopsticks simultaneously reached into the bowl of braised pork.
“It’s delicious.”
"It melts as soon as you sip it."
"Oh my god! It's so delicious."
"Mom, you are so good at cooking."
"Mom, I want to eat the meals you cook every day."
Zhao Zhenli: "It would be nice if I could eat braised pork every day."
Zhao Fenglan rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking about!"
“…”
Lin Su'e looked at the satisfied children and her heart was filled with happiness.
…
the day after tomorrow.
Daxing Town, Daji.
Lin Su'e and Zhao Heping stood under the big locust tree at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhao Heping looked to the west and couldn't help asking, "Third Aunt, have they arrived?"
Lin Su'e was amused and teased him: "Why are you so impatient? Are you missing your wife?"
The 1.80-meter-tall guy blushed but did not refute.
Lin Su'e's smile deepened. She opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
“Here I come.”
Zhao Heping was startled: "What?"
I subconsciously looked in the direction she was going, and then my eyes became glued to her.
at the same time.
Chen Suying followed her aunt and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative with a little nervousness. For some unknown reason, she raised her head and looked in one direction, and her heart immediately started beating like thunder.
This way.
Lin Su'e originally wanted to greet Zhao Heping, but when she turned around and saw him, she laughed.
As expected, they were a famous loving couple in the previous life. I fell in love with them at first sight.

Chen Suying's aunt Wang Huiying also noticed that something was wrong with her niece.
Lin Su'e and Wang Huiying looked at each other and greeted each other tacitly.
"Sister Su'e, what a coincidence."
"Huiying, it's been a long time."
