After noon, Jo Sung-woo went out for training.

Qi Sisi took a nap at home and then got up to work.

Since you want to make a hot pot, you have to prepare it. You can't wait until the time is up and then rush to make a mess.

Either don’t do it, or do it well.

Qi Sisi wanted to make two kinds of hot pot bases, one is a chicken soup version and the other is a classic butter base. Due to limited conditions, she made a simple version. When the public's taste buds have not been bombarded by the various takeaways, it is already extremely delicious. So Qi Sisi is very confident.

The first thing you need is butter and rapeseed oil, followed by dried chili peppers, star anise, cinnamon, fennel, bay leaves, white cardamom, grass fruit (seeded), allspice, two-cup chili peppers, lantern peppers, chili peppers, old ginger, spring onions, coriander, green onions, green and red peppercorns, strong liquor, ginger, red pickled peppers, fermented black beans, bean paste, rock sugar, fermented glutinous rice...

The most important thing is the oil. Although it is a bit difficult to get, it is not impossible.

Today she has asked Yang Dongbiao to help ask, if there is no other way, just increase the proportion of lard and rapeseed oil.

Qi Sisi made a list of the remaining spices and planned to go out again with Zhao Xingyu in the evening.

Qi Sisi was busy frying pork fat all afternoon.

More than ten pounds of pork fat can be squeezed out to make a pot of pork fat, and there is also an enameled jar of pork fat residue.

The pork lard is as big as a child's fist. It is not fried too dry and has a crispy texture. When it is fresh out of the pot and still a little hot, sprinkle a handful of white sugar on it. It tastes absolutely delicious.

Qi Sisi ate two slices and her eyes narrowed into slits with delight.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Sisi, it's me."

It’s my own man!

Qi Sisi happily ran over to greet him and threw herself directly into the man's arms.

Zhao Xingyu held her shoulders with both hands and advised: "Don't, I'm dirty."

The man, who had just finished training, was flushed by the sun, his clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, and he exuded strong male hormones.

After these training sessions, he lost some weight and his muscles became more noticeable.

For example, at this moment, the eight-pack abs in front of me are clearly visible even through the wet clothes.

Qi Sisi couldn't help drooling.

I really want to touch it~

"Sisi, let me in."

Zhao Xingyu felt a little shy when he saw her scorching gaze.

Whenever he saw her express her love for his body, he wanted to hug her and melt her into his bones, moving his body and getting hard...

"All right!"

Qi Sisi felt a little regretful as she watched the man enter the bathroom. He was always careless. He took off his clothes and splashed cold water on himself.

It will be out in a few minutes.

Qi Sisi put the clean clothes on the stool at the door, so he could just reach out and change into them.

At this moment, he was wearing the pajamas that Qi Sisi bought for him. They were short-sleeved and shorts. The beige fabric was soft and warm, which made his expression look gentle.

"I seem to smell the smell of pork?"

As the man spoke, he wiped his wet hair with a towel, and water droplets fell.

Slide across his neck, collarbone, chest, abdominal muscles... leaving a water stain on his clothes.

"Well, fried pork fat, with pork fat residue."

Qi Sisi skipped to the kitchen and brought out two plates of pork lard.

One plate was sprinkled with sugar, and the other was empty.

"Do you want to send some to your neighbors?" Qi Sisi asked.

She hadn't seen her neighbors in the few days since she moved here, but she could occasionally hear women and men or children talking through the door.

The sister-in-law next door has a six-year-old daughter. It seems that she favors boys over girls. She is not gentle at all when speaking to the daughter. She always scolds her and is very harsh.

Qi Sisi didn't like her sister-in-law very much, but the child looked quite pitiful. Every time she saw him, he was always timid and cowardly, which made people feel sorry for him.

The neighbors across the street have been married for two years and have no children yet. They are now a young couple, but their relationship doesn't seem to be very good... They occasionally quarrel over matters related to the husband's family and the wife's family. I have heard this happen three times in the few months I have lived here.

“Are there any neighbors you know?”

Zhao Xingyu held her in his arms and sat on the carpet.

There was no sofa at home, so it was not very convenient to sit in the living room. Fortunately, Qi Sisi was clever and got a rug and a coffee table, so they usually sat on the rug and lounged.

"No, I just wanted to say hello and get to know you."

Qi Sisi grinned and leaned on his arms.

The man's body temperature is higher than hers. It's cool at home, and she feels very warm when she is close to him.

"Then fill a small bowl and go over to get to know each other. If you don't get along, just don't have much contact with each other in the future."

Zhao Xingyu doesn't care much about these neighborhood relationships.

They were born and raised in the army, so they want to have a stronger sense of belonging than others, and they don't feel the need to please others or build good relationships with them.

"good!"

Qi Sisi agreed, she still hoped she could make more friends.

It won't end up like in the previous life, where I am alone and helpless.

Qi Sisi also mentioned that she was going out to buy something in the evening, and Zhao Xingyu thought that he had no plans today, so he agreed.

"Then I'll go now!"

Qi Sisi got up, went to the kitchen to get a bowl, and filled it with two servings of pork lard.

One with sugar and one without sugar.

The sugar was naturally given to neighbors with children, as she thought that children would like sweets and adults would not compete with little girls for them.

"Knock knock"

Qi Sisi knocked on the door next door first.

She just heard the little girl talking to the neighbor's sister-in-law, so they should be at home.

"Who?"

A loud voice, with a hint of impatience in the tone.

Qi Sisi shrank her consciousness and clenched her neck. This sister-in-law has a really loud voice! She can even be used as a loudspeaker.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I just moved in next door. I came to say hello." Qi Sisi replied in a soft voice.

Then there were distinct footsteps and the door swung open.

A plump woman came out. She had a round face, fair skin, a plump figure, and was wearing a fine cotton dress. Only the gleam in her eyes gave away her character.

"Is it the sister-in-law next door? My husband's last name is Zheng, you can just call me Zheng's wife. What do you mean by that?"

"I'm Qi Sisi, you can just call me Sisi."

Qi Sisi answered with a smile.

I don't really like the idea of ​​using a man's surname to refer to myself. It's like marrying a man and treating him as my only concern, even forgetting my own name.

"So it was your family that fried pork fat in the afternoon?"

Glancing at what was in her hand, Mrs. Zheng's tone became hot.

He stared at the bowl of pig fat residue in Qi Sisi's hand, licked his lips unconsciously, and said shamelessly: "The smell is all over the building. My Zhaodi is greedy and keeps crying hungry at home. Children are just ignorant."

"Zhao Di? Your daughter Zhao Di?"

Qi Sisi's smile froze.

This family really keeps touching her sore spots.

Favoring sons over daughters and naming girls "Zhaodi" are simply feudal remnants.
