Chapter 3604 Dinner (I)
"Xiaoxiao, what kind of meat are you planning to buy?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked Lu Xiaoxiao when she saw that there was a lot of meat on the meat stall.
"I'm going to buy some spareribs and pig's trotters."
"Pork ribs and pig's trotters, are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. Since I'm inviting Uncle Li to drink today, I'll naturally prepare some dishes to go with the wine, and spare ribs and pig's trotters are the most suitable."
"I don't feel good about it."
"What's wrong?"
"Pork ribs and pig's trotters are all bones, there's not much meat on them, you're just wasting your money buying them."
"Don't worry, I won't waste any money. Once I make them, you'll know how delicious they are."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, although Zhang Yuanyuan didn't believe that the ribs and pig's trotters without meat could be cooked delicious, she didn't stop Lu Xiaoxiao from buying them because they were cheap.
After more than ten minutes, it was finally their turn to buy meat. Lu Xiaoxiao saw eight pig's trotters and a plate of ribs on the stall, so she bought all the trotters and ribs.
After she bought the pig's trotters and spare ribs, she saw peanuts and melon seeds for sale on the counter, so she asked Zhang Yuanyuan to buy some peanuts and melon seeds, and then they walked home carrying the things.
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned home, she asked Zhang Yuanyuan to help her roast the pig's trotters while she went to deal with the ribs.
When she finished processing the ribs, she saw Zhang Yuanyuan roasting all the pork, so she said to Zhang Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, please help me roast the pork."
Zhang Yuanyuan nodded after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, and then she walked towards the stove.
When she came to the stove, she sat on a small stool and started to light the fire with skillful movements.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Yuanyuan starting to light the fire, she added half a pot of water into the pot, and then took out a loofah to wash the pig's trotters.
After she washed the pig's trotters, she poured them and the ribs into the pot and blanched them.
When Zhang Yuanyuan saw Lu Xiaoxiao put the pig's trotters and ribs into the pot together, she thought Lu Xiaoxiao was going to make soup, so she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you should put the pig's trotters in first, and then the bones, otherwise the ribs will be overcooked before the pig's trotters are cooked."
"I know, but I'm blanching the pig's trotters and spareribs right now, so it's fine to put them in together."
"Blanching? Why do we need to blanch pig's trotters and spareribs?"
"Of course it's to remove the blood stains from the bones. Don't you blanch the bones before cooking them at home?"
"Hehe...my family has never bought bones."
After hearing what Zhang Yuanyuan said, Lu Xiaoxiao thought that people of this generation like to buy fatty food. Even if they can't buy fatty meat, they will buy lean meat. Few people will buy pig's trotters and ribs, so it's not surprising that Zhang Yuanyuan's family has never bought them.
So she said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, the pig's trotters and spareribs will be cooked soon. I'll let you eat as much as you want."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
More than an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the pot, and immediately a rich fragrance wafted out.
So she said to Zhang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, bring a bowl."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Zhang Yuanyuan immediately took a bowl and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took the bowl Zhang Yuanyuan handed to her, she put a piece of pork ribs and half a pig's trotter into the bowl, then handed the bowl to Zhang Yuanyuan and said, "Try it."
"Okay." After Zhang Yuanyuan finished speaking, she reached out to take the ribs and pig's trotters that Lu Xiaoxiao handed to her, and then she picked up the ribs and started eating.
