Returning to the Pastoral: Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 25 Braised Pork

Think about the vegetable oil rolled by Anhui rapeseed flowers mentioned in the second season of "A Bite of China".

As for the rapeseed flower smell that I often disliked when I was a child, when watching the picture on TV, the familiar smell in my memory was revealed, followed by a lot of regret.

Why did something so insignificant back then seem so precious now?So when Su Yun saw this kind of vegetable oil in the city, he bought it without hesitation.

First, I want to relive the taste. Second, long-term consumption of lard is harmful to health.She has some confidence in her heart, she feels that she has the ability to let the children live a life full of rice and fish.

If there is too much fat intake, the lard is naturally discarded.Compared with animal fat, of course vegetable oil is more beneficial to your health!

When the oil was slightly hot, Su Yun turned the heat to low and put the sugar he just bought into the pot.It's just that this so-called expensive "snow sugar" seems to have no merit in Su Yun's eyes.

Dare to call it "snow sugar" at this level?Have they never seen what is called real white as snow candy?But this also opened up Su Yun's thinking.

She suddenly remembered what she had learned in chemistry class at school.After filtration, purification and other means, some impurities can be removed, and then snow-white sugar or snow-white refined salt can be obtained.

Later, when she was free and had nothing to do, she saw similar plots in some time-travel novels. Unfortunately, her memory is not very good, and she is not good at studying. She was so-so in her studies back then. Return it to the teacher.

Encountering this situation now, I just have a vague idea, and I have to slowly explore and practice how to do it.

Of course, there is no money to spoil her right now.But no matter what, the rewards of entering the city this time are quite large.It's not just about making money, it's as simple as making crazy purchases.

At least she walked around the city and found many things to do, or business opportunities.

This is the biggest reward of going out today!This is related to the future livelihood of their family of eight, which is too insignificant compared to the current income.

After all, he has thousands of years of experience more than others, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to the seniors who have traveled through time if they just have just enough food and clothing?
After thinking about it, the color of the sugar has been prepared, and every piece of meat is uniform, with a little brown color, slightly shining, Su Yun swallowed, and has not known the taste of meat for many days, she is really greedy .

Pour in the cooking wine, turn it around, pour some water, add some soy sauce and salt, put ginger slices, garlic cloves, and chestnuts in, wait until the pot boils, then cover the pot, squat down, Cover the stove a little bit, turn to medium and low heat and simmer slowly. Just wait for about twenty minutes, add some sugar to collect the juice when the pot is ready, and then it can be served on a plate.

Finally, a handful of shallots are sprinkled for decoration, and the red and green complement each other, making it mouth-watering.

The children had already sat around the table, looking towards the kitchen from time to time, especially when the smell of braised pork wafted over, they were so big that they kept swallowing their saliva, and so small that they shed uncontrollably.

Su Yun also endured the scent and restrained himself with great perseverance.Luckily, there was already some fish to make a base yesterday, otherwise, she really didn't know if she would unhesitatingly lift the lid of the pot the next moment, and put her hand into the pot to scoop up the meat.

While the braised pork was still stewing, Su Yun put the leftover fish soup from yesterday into another pot and heated it up. When the braised pork was almost cooked, it could be served at the same time.

"It's dinner time!"

Su Yun yelled, and the little kids who had been waiting for a long time all stood up "crash", and Lu Erlang ran into the kitchen anxiously, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you."

Not to be outdone, Lu Huan'er followed Lu Erlang into the kitchen, shouting, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. Sit down and Huan'er will serve you food."

"Ai, ai..." Su Yun responded with a smile on his face, "Then thanks to the second sister, I will rest for a while."

After speaking, he hugged Lu Yuan'er from Lu Xi'er's hand, pinched her little nose and said, "Do you want to eat meat?"

Lu Yuan'er's eyes widened, her lips were moaning, and her little hand was stuffed into her mouth. Su Yun smiled and took her little hand out of her mouth, and said with a straight face on purpose: "Didn't sister-in-law tell you that this My fingers are dirty, can't I eat them?"

As he said that, he looked at Lu Silang, the little guy was also sucking his finger.Being looked at by Su Yun, he quickly took out his fingers and sat up straight, his serious appearance almost made Su Yun fail again.

Holding back a laugh, Su Yun said: "Fourth sister, fourth brother, there are a lot of dirty things on these fingers, you have to get used to it, you can't eat these fingers, or you will easily get sick, you know?"

Lu Yuan'er and Lu Silang nodded half-understanding, but their eyes were fixed on the braised pork on the table. After Lu Huan'er finished serving the meal, the two little fellows twisted their bodies to look at the braised pork. Meat, look at Su Yun again.

After the other older children sat down, they all looked at Su Yun eagerly.Su Yun nodded secretly.After coming here for a few days, she has already discovered that although these little guys are small, they have good manners.

Obviously their parents have educated them well in the world, and the elders can't move their chopsticks before they speak.Not to mention whether the rules are in line with modern people's concepts, but as the saying goes, "no rules make a circle", a good habit is the beginning of all good things.

"Eat it!"

After Su Yun gave the order, the children cheered, but Lu Xier still put a piece of braised pork into Su Yun's bowl first, and said, "Sister-in-law is working hard to manage the house, so sister-in-law will eat first."

The children also nodded, and even Lu Yuan'er in her arms nodded along. I don't know if she knows the meaning of what the brothers and sisters are doing.

Su Yun nodded and said: "Good boy, my sister-in-law did not hurt you for nothing." Then he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the braised pork in the bowl and slowly put it into his mouth.

The aroma of braised pork blooms on the tip of the tongue, mixed with the aroma of meat and sweetness. Although the meat is fat, it is not greasy at all.Su Yun chewed slowly, savoring the taste of meat that he hadn't tasted for many days.

Maybe it's been a long time since I ate meat, or maybe it's because the pork is completely fed with pigweed and sweet potatoes. Su Yun has lived for two lifetimes, and it's the first time that Su Yun thinks that braised pork is so fragrant and delicious.

This kind of non-feed-fed pigs was also available to her when she was a child in her previous life.But for some reason, she really felt that the piece of braised pork in her mouth was the best thing she had ever eaten in her two lifetimes combined.

The children looked at Su Yun eagerly, their throats were constantly throbbing, and the whole room was quiet, only the sound of the children swallowing was heard.

Su Yun swallowed the meat, and said with a satisfied face: "Eat it quickly, this meat is really delicious!"

"Yes, sister-in-law!"

Several children quickly picked up the chopsticks and reached out to pick up the meat.Lu Silang is still young, and he can't handle chopsticks very neatly, so he sometimes needs someone to feed him when he eats on weekdays.Even if you eat by yourself, you still take a small spoon.

Now I saw the braised pork, and when I got excited, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.He hurriedly changed the soup spoon again, but he was small and the meat was placed in the middle, and he couldn't reach it with the soup spoon, so he scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and was about to cry.

Just when he was anxious and overwhelmed, a piece of braised pork landed steadily in the small bowl in front of him. He looked up and saw his elder sister, and gratefully picked up his small wooden bowl, and said happily: "Thank you, elder sister."

Lu Xi'er looked at her youngest brother tenderly, touched his little head, and said gently: "Eat quickly, big sister will help you."

Su Yun didn't stop. He tore the braised pork into small pieces and fed it to Lu Yuan'er slowly. Then he looked at the other children and saw the speed at which they lowered their chopsticks. He said with a smile, "Eat slowly, don't choke. Yes. There is still in the pot, from now on we will have meat to eat every day.”

"It's delicious, it's delicious, sister-in-law..." Lu Huan'er's small mouth kept twitching, and her lips were full of oily braised pork.

"What's this talking about? What's a really delicious sister-in-law?" Lu Erlang chuckled lightly. After all, he was older, and although his movements were quicker, his eating was more refined than his other younger brothers and sisters.

"Second Brother, Second Sister means that braised pork is really delicious..." Lu Sanlang swallowed a piece of meat and explained solemnly.

Su Yun smiled lightly, and said: "Sanlang is really smart. After a while, when you have some money in hand, sister-in-law will send you and Erlang to the school to continue your studies."

Lu Erlang's hands trembled. Although he had this premonition when he saw his sister-in-law buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the city, he also heard that his sister-in-law said that he would send them to study, but at this moment when his sister-in-law mentioned this matter again, he Still very excited.

But this excitement was only for a moment, and then he calmed down.He looked at his younger brothers and sisters, then at his elder sister's sallow complexion and withered hair; then at his sister-in-law's thin body, without even a decorative wooden hairpin on her head...

Parents have passed away, elder brother is gone, younger brothers and sisters are still young, he is the eldest boy of this parent, he can no longer put all the burden on his sister-in-law and elder sister, he has to stand up and help The elder sister-in-law takes on the responsibility of a family.

The elder sister is sixteen this year, and when the family situation improves a little, she can talk about the marriage she imagined. The elder sister will marry sooner or later, and at her age, she will not be able to stay at home for a few days.

The second younger sister has an unrestrained temperament, so it would be good if she can help look after several younger siblings.If I go to the school to study again, won't the elder sister-in-law be the only one in this family?
Thinking of this, Lu Erlang shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, let Sanlang and Shiro go to school if you have money. Sanlang studied for two years before, which is regarded as enlightenment, but the family has not been in good condition for the past two years. It just fell to the ground."

"Shiro is five years old this year, and it's time to be enlightened. If the family has money, I should send Shiro to study. I'm 14 years old this year, and I'm not good at studying. Let's save some money and buy a few in the spring. Acres of land, I will stay at home and help my sister-in-law with work..."
