No matter how Ye Tian refused, Xu Nanxing still happily stewed the pork belly.
In fact, she doesn't like eating pork belly because it has too much fat.
However, oil coupons were hard to come by in those days, so she had to stir-fry the pork belly to extract oil first, and then stir-fry some vegetables, so that the food would taste good!
When it came out of the pot, the aroma of the pork belly filled the air, making the kids next door cry with envy.
The two siblings of the Ye family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and they were drooling with greed at the moment.
With Xu Nanxing's shout: "Start!"
The two little guys quickly picked up a piece of pork belly and started to eat it voraciously!
Xu Nanxing didn't compete with them. The two children really needed additional nutrition.
They were both very skinny, and their clothes were torn and dirty. Without their mother to help mend and take care of them, the two children really had a hard life.
After dinner and clearing away the tables, chairs, and dishes, Xu Nanxing took his two children to the Ye family's private plot to plant vegetables.
She had brought back some vegetable seeds earlier. If she planted them at this time, they would be ready for harvest in three months.
Xu Nanxing chose some vegetable seeds that are about to be harvested, such as peppers, lettuce, spinach, mustard greens, rapeseed, white radish, and Chinese cabbage.
After planting the vegetables, she asked her two children to take a bath.
She took out a bar of soap and helped Xiaoyu wash clean first.
Ye Tian was shy and wanted to take a bath by himself.
She had no choice but to take away the two children's dirty clothes and secretly put them into the washing machine in the space villa to wash.
She can't do laundry, so she still has to rely on the washing machine.
The clothes were indeed much cleaner after washing, but she had no idea what to do about the damaged parts, so she planned to ask the aunt next door to help her mend them the next day.
Hang the washed clothes on the clothesline to dry.
After Xu Nanxing returned to the room, she locked the door and entered the space to start working.
The whole pig she bought from the slaughterhouse was already cut into pieces.
But every piece of meat comes with pig skin and fat.
What Xu Nanxing needs to do now is to cut off all the fat that she doesn’t like to eat.
In addition to fat, there is also pork lard.
However, pork lard has a higher oil yield, so she plans to keep it all for now.
It took me a long time to process the fat from the two pigs.
Xu Nanxing decided to stop here for today.
After a busy day, I went into the space to take a shower.
She still prefers to take a shower.
After putting the clothes I took off in the washing machine, I lay on the bed and started browsing my phone.
The next day, Xu Nanxing did not go to collect grass for the pigs first.
The clothes I hung out to dry yesterday were all dry after a night.
Xu Nanxing took the clothes of the two children, and then pointed out the damaged parts of the clothes to Ye Tian.
Let him find a familiar aunt in the village to help mend their clothes.
The main reason is that Xu Nanxing herself doesn’t know how to sew and doesn’t know anyone in the village, so it’s better to let Ye Tian go find it himself.
If you bring two eggs, most of the aunties at the village entrance will be willing to help.
Then she told the two children that she was going to Chen City and might be away for 2 or 3 days. If there was anything at home, they could ask the village chief for help.
Xu Nanxing did have something to go out for.
Before she went to the countryside, Li Yan asked someone she knew here to visit her at her home after she arrived.
If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me for help.
During the few days she was in the countryside, she was still getting familiar with rural life.
Now that I have settled down here, I plan to visit him.
Xu Nanxing went out carrying a green backpack and a cross-body bag.
I went to the village committee first, and the village chief was there.
Xu Nanxing explained the reason, that she wanted to take three days off to visit her relatives here.
This was her first year in the countryside, and normally she didn't have leave to visit her family. However, the village chief didn't make it difficult for her to take this few days off. He readily approved the leave and gave her a letter of introduction.
Xu Nanxing rode his bicycle to the town first, put away the bicycle, and found the bus station.
The bus here goes to the county. There are only two buses a day, one at 9 am and one at 2 pm. If you miss the bus, you have to find another way to get to the county.
It was not yet 8 o'clock, and Xu Nanxing came to the restaurant he had visited last time.
There were already many people sitting inside having breakfast.
Xu Nanxing spent 8 cents to order a bowl of noodle soup, and smuggled out a can of Lao Gan Ma and a boiled egg from his backpack.
I peeled the eggshells, put them into the noodle soup, and then scooped in a large chopstick of Lao Gan Ma.
With the addition of Lao Gan Ma, the soup noodles taste even more fragrant!
The diners nearby smelled the fragrance and looked over at the girl curiously as she added some sauce to the noodle soup, making it smell so good.
Xu Nanxing was still enjoying her meal, and an elderly man at the same table couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, what kind of sauce did you add? Why does it smell so good?"
Of course Lao Gan Ma is fragrant!
However, for people of this era, the oil inside is the most attractive.
This is chili sauce made with oil.
All he could say was, "This is a kind of chili sauce from the south. It's really fragrant and spicy. It's very common in the south, and every household makes their own chili sauce. It might be a little rare in our part of the north!"
Xu Nanxing was not talking nonsense. In the southern provinces where people love to eat chili peppers, every household does make chili sauce.
But maybe they won’t put so much oil in it.
After Xu Nanxing finished his noodle soup, he left.
