Li Xiyue brought Xiaobai into the space and gave herself some special training.
She picked two eggplants and a handful of tender green beans from the red soil, planning to make an eggplant and bean dish.
I picked another handful of green peppers and pounded them together with preserved eggs.
She bought the preserved eggs in the space mall, and each cost her one dollar.
I needed to eat meat, so I took a kitchen knife to the warehouse and cut a large piece of pork belly to make braised pork.
When we ate together at the educated youth camp, although we had meat every now and then, it was very little and we could never enjoy it to our heart's content.
Since she doesn't have much time alone, Li Xiyue plans to make more this time and store it in the warehouse so that she can have hot meals at any time.
Braised pork takes a long time to cook, so stew the meat first.
She prepared the onions, ginger, garlic and star anise. She washed the meat first, cut it into small square pieces about three centimeters in size, put it into cold water, added cooking wine, boiled it for two minutes, took it out and rinsed it with warm water so that the meat would not become hard.
Heat the pan, add the pork belly, fry until both sides are golden brown, stir out the excess fat, and set aside.
Next, fry the sugar color, put the pork belly in, stir-fry evenly over high heat, add onion, ginger, garlic and star anise, stir-fry until fragrant, add soy sauce, pour in half a bottle of beer bought at the mall, and add enough spiritual spring water to cover the meat.
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about an hour.
While the meat was stewing, Li Xiyue went to the study to read. She hadn't finished reading the medical book she had found at the scrap yard, so she continued reading.
Only a small part of traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down to later generations, and most of it has been lost. A lot of medical knowledge in the ancient medical book that Li Xiyue found was something she had never encountered before.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is extensive and profound. She has only learned a small part of it. There is still a lot of knowledge. She will learn slowly when she has time and strive to learn more and more comprehensively.
An hour passed quickly. Li Xiyue put down the medical book reluctantly and went out to continue cooking.
After taking the braised pork off the stove, she set up another pot, stir-fried eggplant and green beans, pounded preserved eggs and green peppers, and cooked rice.
When you open the lid of the braised pork, the aroma hits your nose. The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of spices is simply mouth-watering.
Xiaobai's tail shook like a propeller, "Yueyue, Xiaobai also wants to eat meat!"
Of course Li Xiyue couldn't do without it, so she picked up a few pieces of meat and gave it to it.
Put a portion of each into the warehouse, and eat the rest with rice.
I picked up a piece of braised pork soaked in soup and took a bite. Hmm, it was fragrant, soft, and smooth. It was so delicious that I wanted to swallow my tongue.
Li Xiyue squinted her eyes happily as she took a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of meat.
Eggplant and green beans are also very delicious, not to mention preserved egg and green pepper. They are the best to eat with rice. And if you get tired of meat, eating something spicy will really stimulate your appetite.
Li Xiyue finished all the food, burped, and smiled with satisfaction.
After eating, I went to the mountains to collect herbs and help digest the food.
It was almost dark when Li Xiyue took Xiaobai back to the village. She didn't care about Xu Dazhuang in the deep mountains at all. His life or death depended on his luck.
The next morning, Li Xiyue was on her way to work when she saw Wang Cuihua and his men hurriedly searching for someone in the village.
Seeing Li Xiyue, Wang Cuihua opened her mouth and cursed, "Little bitch, where is my son?"
"Wang Cuihua, stop swearing!" Xu Yongshun, who was accompanying her, shouted, "If you can't speak properly, shut your stinky mouth!"
She keeps calling me a little bitch, how shameless! She has no shame, and even the cadres of their team committee want her to be shameless!
Wang Cuihua was furious. "She didn't even know where she had taken my son. What's wrong with me scolding her?"
"The matter hasn't been clarified yet. How can you be sure that it was Li Zhiqing who lost your son?" Xu Yongshun glared at her.
As the village party secretary, he was in charge of all the gossips about the Dong and Li families. He had heard these old women swearing a lot. They were all from his own village, and some of these gossipy women would curse at each other, but he usually didn't do much to stop them.
But now that this woman was scolding the educated youth from the city, and the educated youth Li who brought back supreme glory to the brigade, he had to take care of it.
The girl is so young, how can she bear such scolding from her?
If someone gets into trouble because of a bad decision, how can they explain it to their superiors?
Wang Cuihua insisted that it was Li Xiyue who did it. "She let the mad dog bite me yesterday. My son said when he left the house yesterday that he was going to ask her for an explanation. She must have hidden my son."
Xu Yongshun ignored her, looked at Li Xiyue, and asked politely, "Li Zhiqing, did you see Xu Dazhuang yesterday?"
"I don't know who Xu Dazhuang is or what he looks like?" Li Xiyue pretended to be stupid.
Seeing her confused expression, Xu Yongshun concluded that she was not the one hiding the person. "He's tall and thin, and looks... average."
"What do you mean 'average'? My son is very good-looking. He is the best-looking boy in the village." Wang Cuihua was unhappy and started yelling.
Xu Yongshun's brows were furrowed so tightly that he looked like he could pinch a fly to death.
This old woman is too blindly confident. With Xu Dazhuang's looks, anyone in the village can compare to him.
He looked down at the black dog beside Li Xiyue. Well, it wasn't as good-looking as this charcoal-black dog.
Liu Qingju was also unhappy when she heard Wang Cuihua say this, "Wang Cuihua, have some shame. My son is the best-looking boy in the village. How can your son be good-looking?"
"My son is just handsome, prettier than your son." Wang Cuihua put her hands on her hips, stretched her neck and shouted.
Liu Qingju also put her hands on her hips and stretched her neck, "My son is better looking than your son..."
Seeing that the topic had seriously deviated, Xu Yongshun yelled, "Enough, finding the right person is the real thing, stop talking about this useless bullshit!"
These old women, in order to fight for a short period of time, even forget about their sons.
At this time, Hu Zi, who was watching the excitement from the side, said, "Grandpa Secretary, I think I saw Da Zhuang going up the mountain yesterday afternoon."
"Going up the mountain? I said that this little bitch hid my son." Upon hearing this, Wang Cuihua aimed her firepower at Li Xiyue again, "Hand over my son!"
Li Xiyue looked innocent and said, "I was on the mountain yesterday, but I didn't see anyone else."
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Wang Cuihua rolled up her sleeves and prepared to attack. "If you don't hand over my son, I'll tear this demon skin off of you!"
