When Lin Tingwan returned to the big sister's shop, she was carrying her things while listening to the big sister's praise: "You are such an amazing woman, you are really as good as men!"
Lin Tingwan took the things and said with a smile: "Thank you, big sister. I will come to buy things from you again in the future."
Looking at Lin Tingwan's back, the elder sister responded cheerfully: "Okay, I will give you a high scale from now on!"
Having just experienced a big battle, Lin Tingwan, who originally didn't want to buy anything, suddenly felt a strong desire to shop.
He held the things in one hand and held the little girl's hand tightly with the other, not letting her out of his sight.
When I passed by the pork stall, I specially cut ten pounds of pork tenderloin. Since I had rapeseed oil, the first dish must be sweet and sour pork!
When they reached the end of the market, the two began to walk back.
Along the way, she not only bought vegetables, but also rice and flour. If she hadn't bought a covered backpack at the end of the market, she really wouldn't have been able to take them back.
Moreover, she used the backpack as a cover to put all the things into the space. Not only would the little girl not notice it, even passers-by on the road could not see how many things were in her backpack.
For a moment, she thought that this backpack was quite useful.
When passing by an old man selling rapeseed oil, Lin Tingwan also bought another ten kilograms of rapeseed oil.
She just wasted more than two kilograms of rapeseed oil, which made her feel very sad. She didn't know when she would come to this market again, so she waved her hand and bought ten kilograms at one time.
The old man who took the money was grinning with joy, thinking that the woman in front of him bought some more money to thank him for her help just now.
It was almost noon when the two of them got home.
Seeing that the little girl was exhausted, Lin Tingwan wiped her face with a wet towel and said, "Xinxin, why don't you go back to your room and take a nap? I'll call you when your aunt finishes cooking, okay?"
"Yeah." Lu Zixin nodded obediently. She was exhausted and could hardly open her eyes.
So, Lin Tingwan carried her into the house, covered her with a quilt, and coaxed her to sleep before going to the kitchen to cook.
She took out a large piece of newly bought pork tenderloin and soaked it in water to remove all the blood.
She took advantage of this time to cook the rice. Lu Yunzheng would come back for lunch at noon, so she cooked more rice.
After the rice was put into the pot, she started to process the tenderloin.
Cut the tenderloin into thin and thick slices and pat it lightly with the back of a knife. Then add a little salt, a little pepper, and a little diluted spring water, mix well, and marinate for ten minutes.
The starch I bought before also came in handy. Soak the starch in clean water. After the starch has settled, pour out the layer of water on top. Then pour the marinated meat slices into a bowl and coat them with batter.
By the way, pour a little rapeseed oil to avoid oil leakage when frying.
After the batter is ready, she starts to heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is about 60% to 70% hot, that is, when small bubbles appear when a wooden chopstick is inserted into the pan, she puts the meat slices into the pan and starts frying.
Put the meat slices into the pot one by one without turning them over. After the meat slices are shaped, simply use chopsticks to stir them to prevent them from sticking.
When the meat slices coated with batter are fried until golden on both sides, take them out and set them aside.
Repeating the same action, fry up the remaining meat.
After all the meat slices are fried, add a handful of firewood to increase the oil temperature in the pot. When there are many small bubbles in the pot, throw all the meat into the pot, fry for about ten seconds, and quickly take it out.
Pour out the remaining oil in the pot, leaving only a little oil at the bottom of the pot, add the chopped carrots, ginger, green onion, and garlic slices, stir-fry evenly, then pour in the prepared sweet and sour sauce and stir-fry over high heat.
When the sweet and sour sauce in the pot is fried until thick, pour the fried meat into the pot and stir-fry for a few times.
Although the process is rather complicated, the sweet and sour taste of the sweet and sour pork when it comes out of the pot makes her miss it very much.
When the sweet and sour pork was out of the pot, Lu Zizhou and Lu Zihang also returned from school.
As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled this sour and sweet scent.
Lu Zihang quickly went to the kitchen and his eyes lit up when he saw the sweet and sour pork placed next to the stove.
"Aunt, you can also make sweet and sour pork!"
He had only eaten sweet and sour pork once in his life, and that was when his uncle took him to a state-owned restaurant. He can still remember the taste.
I didn’t expect his aunt could make it, and it smells even better than what is made in the restaurant.
Hearing Lu Zihang's voice, Lin Tingwan turned around and said with a smile: "Go wash your hands quickly, and we'll eat when your uncle comes back."
After saying that, Lu Yunzheng walked in from outside and said with a smile: "I'm back. What delicious food are you cooking today? I can smell it from far away."
"Pork in Sweet and Sour!" Lu Zihang turned around and told his uncle with a smile. Then he quickly ran to wash his hands, eager to taste it.
Lu Yunzheng was also very surprised. He didn't expect to be able to eat sweet and sour pork at home.
Just as I was about to wash my hands, I heard someone calling out at the door: "Wanwan, are you home?"
Lu Yunzheng turned around and saw that it was Wang Mengyao who came. Before he could say anything, Lin Tingwan came out from the kitchen.
"Is Sister Mengyao here?"
"Yeah." Lu Yunzheng nodded and followed Lin Tingwan outside.
When Lin Tingwan reached the door, she immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, how is Sanmao?"
"It's nothing serious, I'm just a little confused. Liu Fang was worried, so she stayed in the hospital. I think I'll be back tomorrow." Wang Mengyao was so tired that she was sweating and her little face was red.
Seeing this, Lin Tingwan also hurriedly invited her, "Sister-in-law, I just finished cooking. Please come in and rest for a while, have a bite of food before leaving."
Wang Mengyao waved her hands and refused: "No, no, I have to go home and cook. Just give me the food you bought."
"It's too late to cook now. Why don't you ask Political Commissar Wen and the children to come over and have a bite?"
"It's okay, I'll just make something simple."
Seeing Wang Mengyao say this, she didn't say anything more and hurried back to the kitchen to get something.
At this moment, the confused Lu Yunzheng asked, "What happened to Sanmao? Why did he go to the hospital?"
"Didn't Wanwan tell you?" Wang Mengyao raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yunzheng, thinking that Wanwan had already told him about this.
"I just got home." Lu Yunzheng scratched his head. He hadn't had time to say a word to Wanwan.
Wang Mengyao then told him everything about today's visit to the market, and at the end she joked with a smile: "Wanwan really brought honor to our military district today. The militia soldier kept asking Wanwan's name and praised her for a long time."
