"You see, Weiguo was the one who urged me to come here to buy the pig's head. But when I finally got here and asked, I found out that the remaining half of the pig's head had already been bought by Hongxing, the wife of Zeng Qi."
He Tingjun stopped his bike, Yun Qiao got off, and walked home with Yuan Jiahui. He smiled and said, "Weiguo wants to eat pig's head meat. That's easy. Come to my house and I'll give you a piece."
"I feel so embarrassed." Yuan Jiahui said.
Yun Qiao laughed and said, "What's the big deal? Didn't your old Qi give us one of the fish he netted out of the ice hole last week?"
Today you give me a fish, tomorrow I give you a piece of pork head. Interactions between people are mutual.
As he was talking, he walked to the door of his house.
Feng Juan heard their voices and hurried out of the courtyard, saying, "Yun Qiao, Ting Jun, I stewed the meat at your brother's house in the back. Do you want to bring the meat over to eat here later? Or do you want to come with me to your brother's house in the back to eat?"
"Mom, don't come here to get it. It's not troublesome enough. Tingjun and I will go with you to the back to eat." Yun Qiao made a decision.
He Tingjun nodded approvingly.
"Okay, let's go to the back." After saying that, Feng Juan looked at Yuan Jiahui and said with a smile, "Jiahui, go into the house and get a lunch box. Have Weiguo follow us to the back. Kids run fast, it won't take more than three minutes to get it."
Yuan Jiahui was about to say a few more pleasantries when Qi Weiguo rushed into the house impatiently: "I know where the lunch box is at home, Mom, I'll get it!"
Yuan Jiahui felt embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she said in a scolding tone, "This child... is too impatient."
Yun Qiao smiled faintly: "All children are like this."
When they arrived at Qin Zheng's house, Feng Juan gave Qi Weiguo a piece of pork cheek and asked him to take it away.
Qi Weiguo was extremely happy. He surrounded Feng Juan and said a lot of nice things to her, making her smile from ear to ear. Then he left with the lunch box.
In the kitchen, Feng Juan opened the window to ventilate the air and let the smell dissipate. The pig's head meat was also half-cooled, and the aroma of the braised meat was no longer as overbearing as when it was just out of the pot.
Although Yun Qiao felt a little uncomfortable after smelling it, he managed to resist vomiting thanks to the suppression of the orange peel.
After the morning's cold noodles, Feng Juan had already noticed that Yun Qiao liked spicy food after she became pregnant. She shredded the braised pig ears and some pork cheek meat, added chopped green onions and coriander, and put some soy sauce and balsamic vinegar in it, mixed it with oil and chili peppers, and brought it to Yun Qiao.
"Yun Qiao, try this cold-boiled pig ears," Feng Juan said. "The pig ears have crispy bones inside, so they're not greasy. I also added some vinegar and chili peppers to it to help reduce the greasiness. It tastes quite refreshing and shouldn't cause morning sickness."
"Okay." Yun Qiao responded, picked up the chopsticks, picked up two pig ears that were shredded into thin threads and put them into his mouth.
The pig ears are crispy when eaten, and the sour and spicy taste stimulates the taste buds and can increase one's appetite.
After tasting it carefully, Yun Qiao picked up some more with his chopsticks.
She ate several mouthfuls in a row and showed no signs of vomiting.
Feng Juan breathed a sigh of relief and asked her expectantly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Yun Qiao nodded. "It's really delicious! It tastes even better than the cooked food sold in grocery stores."
Seeing Yun Qiao enjoying the meal, Feng Juan smiled happily and said, "As long as you like it, I'll make it for you."
"Will it be too much trouble?"
Pig head meat is delicious, but raw pig heads are not easy to handle. Just the hair on them is difficult enough to handle.
Yun Qiao didn't want his mother to be too tired.
"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal," Feng Juan said. "You're pregnant now, so you need to get enough nutrition. If you keep vomiting, have no appetite, and can't get food into your mouth, your body won't be able to handle it for a long time. So, as long as the food I make can make you eat a few more bites, I think it's worth it."
What's trouble?
She came here to take care of Yun Qiao.
Feng Juan wished she could spend all her time day and night researching how to eat so that her daughter, who suffered from severe morning sickness, could eat more and replenish more nutrients into her body.
She was afraid that it wouldn't be troublesome enough and Yun Qiao wouldn't be able to eat it and wouldn't get enough nutrition, which would be a serious dereliction of duty on her part.
