Chapter 18 Making Braised Pork



Lin Wanwan set the table and served the rice. Looking at the food on the table, she suddenly missed her parents. In the past, after her mother had prepared a meal, she would also ask her to set the table. Her nose felt a little sour.

But before she could get depressed, Dayong and the others arrived, calmed her down, and started asking people to sit down.

Pour a glass of rice wine for Brother Dayong.

"Brother Dayong, please make do with a drink. There is only rice wine left at home. Drink some to relieve your fatigue at night."

"Hahaha, I haven't drunk in a long time. Yellow wine is good. Wow, it feels so good~"

Li Yuying looked at the dishes on the table, big bones, stir-fried green vegetables with meat and fat, scrambled eggs with green onions, and the white and tender rice, and felt a little dizzy...

"Sister-in-law, Ping An, come and eat and see if it tastes good!"

Lin Wanwan picked up some more food for Lin Bai, "Xiaobai, you should eat more too."

Lin Bai ate the food with big mouthfuls, "Well, everything my sister cooks is delicious!"

Lin Pingan picked up an egg with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and exclaimed: "Wow! Delicious! Aunt Lin's cooking is delicious! This dish is delicious too!"

"It's delicious, you have to eat more. There are big bones here. Eat more big bones and you will grow taller!"

"Okay, thank you, aunt!"

"Sister-in-law and Brother Dayong, you guys should eat quickly too. Eat more. You've been tired all day. I'll have to work with me after I finish eating! You guys eat first. I'll go see if the stew is ready."

She came to the west wing. The two dogs were so greedy that they squatted by the stove waiting. Lin Wanwan laughed and scolded, "Greedy dogs!"

As soon as she opened the lid, a rich meaty aroma wafted out. The meat inside had been stewed until it was soft and delicious. She turned off the fire, scooped a large bowl and brought it to the dining table.

"This is my new dish, stewed pork, it contains pig offal, would you like to try it?"

When Lin Dayong heard that it was pig offal, he was a little afraid to try it. Could it be delicious? But it tasted really good. He simply picked up a piece with chopsticks, closed his eyes and put it in his mouth. If it didn't taste good, he would swallow it in a while.

But he didn't expect that after he chewed it twice, it became more and more delicious!

"What part is this? Why is it so delicious? Hiss, why is it a little spicy?"

Lin Wanwan smiled and replied, "This is pig intestine, but the best part is how it is cooked. It is especially chewy. As for the spiciness, I put some dogwood in it to make it more appetizing."

Lin Dayong nodded, unable to put his chopsticks down. He never thought pig offal could be so delicious!

Li Yuying also tasted a few bites and praised the pig offal highly.

"Wanwan, how do you want to sell this braised pig?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Although this pig offal is cheap, it has a lot of other ingredients and is cooked with big bone soup, so it sells for thirty cents a pound."

Li Yuying nodded. "Indeed, the spices in it are quite expensive, right? I have never even seen some of them."

"The old master of stewed pork told me how to make it, but there are too many ingredients, some of which I have never seen before. Until today, I happened to see a few similar spices in a grocery store, so I bought them all and asked the owner if he had any more. The grocery store owner told me that most of these spices are medicinal herbs and can be bought in the medicine store. When I heard that, what am I waiting for? Since I have all the ingredients, I will make it!"

"No wonder it smells so strong and smells so good when cooked with meat. It turns out to be a medicinal herb. It must be expensive!"

"It's a bit expensive, but pig offal is cheap! A pair is only ten cents. I'm just afraid that after we make it, they will all go buy pig offal, and then the price of pig offal will go up!"

Lin Dayong thought for a moment and said, "Then you go and negotiate the price with the butcher tomorrow. Set a price with him. Then you won't be afraid of price increases. If you're still afraid, sign a contract with him. After all, if it weren't for you, no one would know that this pig's offal is so delicious!"

Lin Wanwan didn't expect Lin Dayong to have such insights, and she couldn't help but look at him with some admiration.

"Brother Dayong, this is a great idea. I think you have the talent for business. When you are done with your work in the fields, come and do business with us!"

"Ah? I can't do that. I'd better just farm the land honestly."

"Brother Dayong, don't be discouraged. I heard what you said just now. Most people can't say it. It's okay. Let's start with the small business and do it for a while. Of course, we can't give up the fields at home."

"Okay, let's talk about it after the autumn harvest."

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, sister-in-law, eat more!"

"Oh, okay, don't worry about me, you should eat quickly too, you didn't even take a few bites just now."

After dinner, Lin Dayong took Lin Ping'an home first, and she and sister-in-law Yuying started to make candied dates and hawthorns.

Li Yuying processed most of the dates and hawthorns, but seeing that she couldn't finish them today, she went back first.

Lin Wanwan finally finished what she had done, and it was already late at night.

He fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

The next day, she was woken up by Sister Yuying again. She opened her eyes in a daze, washed her face, then took her things and followed her to the village entrance to take the bus.

Today, there was no one else but the two of them, which was equivalent to them hiring a car. She gave Uncle Youcai extra money for a few people, but Uncle Youcai refused to accept it. She said that if there was no one in the future, they could just hire a car and have some free time. Lin Youcai couldn't argue with her, so he just secretly remembered her kindness.

There are not as many people at the morning market today as yesterday, but there are still quite a few people waiting to buy.

They put the things on the table, weighed them one by one, and handed them over.

Lin Wanwan carried a wooden bucket to Aunt Cui's house next door, wanting to borrow her steamer.

"Aunt Cui, when will you steam the next pot?"

"I'll steam it after I sell all the steamers. What's the matter, girl Lin?"

"Aunt, I want to borrow your steamer to heat up something."
