Skillful Wife of Military - C61

“Half a pork leaf? “Oh my god! With so much meat, wouldn’t we have meat to eat everyday? Wouldn’t we become the landlords’ outsider?”

Everyone laughed loudly. Xu Hui, who was preparing the seasoning, smiled and said to Gou Sheng’s mother, “Aunt, we can eat meat every day. It’s even more comfortable than the landowner’s house!”

“Yes, yes, we’ve had a good day!” Gou Sheng was grinning from ear to ear, and everyone was extremely happy. They had been busy for a year, and would only be filled with hope for the future if they ate well during the New Year.

While Xiao Xiuer was slicing the meat, Xu Hui started to prepare the ingredients needed to cook the Sweet Corner. She first needed to fry the meat in the crock pot of Red Braised Meat, and then she would fry the Sugar Corner before she fried the meat. Xu Hui finished her calculations and could not help but laugh. She thought about things differently now. It seemed that the environment had really changed!

After the meat was sliced and the sugar was wrapped, Xu Hui started to pour oil into the wok and cook it. Normally, they ate mostly lard, but this fried food could not be eaten with lard anymore. The stuff that had been fried by lard was cooled down by a layer of white ointment, making it impossible to eat.

She had prepared vegetable oil this time. For some unknown reason, there was no peanut oil now. Xu Hui felt that she could think of a way in the future to see if she could produce peanut oil. It was more fragrant than vegetable oil.

In this era where clothes were lacking and food was scarce, people had an unimaginable love for fried food. When Xu Hui started cooking, the fragrance attracted Niu Niu and Er Wa’s attention.

Xu Hui thought it was funny, but she was afraid that the oil would be splattered on them. She quickly got Plum Blossom to lead the group and stand back. She saw Plum Blossom craning her neck to stare at the pot and could not help but laugh.

One by one, sweet and shiny sugar cubes came out of the pot, the adults and children all ate with hands full of oil, squinting their eyes in satisfaction.

Niuniu even yelled at Xu Hui while eating, “Sister-in-law, I still want to eat fried pancakes, fried pork ribs, fried fish, fried meatballs. My brother is home, we all fried them!”

Hearing this, Er Wa was extremely envious, “Sister Niu Niu, have you eaten so much delicious food before?”

“No, I heard it from sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I want to eat it too!” Niuniu’s mouth was stuffed with sugar as she stared at Xu Hui in anticipation. Xu Hui felt a little sour in her heart even though she wanted to laugh.

When they were at the Xiao family, they could stealthily cook meat and other stuff, but it was too eye-catching. When Xu Hui saw Niuniu coveting Aunt Wei’s house for fried goods, she told her that when her brother came back, there would be a frying pan at his house to fry all kinds of delicious foods.

After he had fried the sugar horn, Xu Hui started to fry the sliced pork chunks. Because he had accidentally been scalded by the sprays of oil, Xiao Dayong felt very pained and refused to let Xu Hui stand in front of the frying pan again, so he took over the job.

Fried the pork chunks until golden yellow and put them aside to filter the oil. Xu Hui picked up another pot and put a little oil in it to heat. Then she added ginger and fried pork chunks until they came out. Then add water, put in the sauce and gauze wrapped spice bag, use a big fire for 15 minutes, turn into a small fire to simmer. Xu Hui peeled the eggs that were cooked and put them into the pot. She then put the stewed pork into the pot along with the soup. Together, they were placed on the charcoal stove and stewed slowly.

The pot was placed on top of the charcoal stove and stewed. Xu Hui looked at the kelp that was bubbling and started to make the kelp soup. Wash the ribs, cut them into halves with a knife, chop them horizontally, cook them in a pot of boiling water, scoop them out and rinse them with a warm bubble; rinse and control the water from the foamed kelp and cut them into cubes; add water into the cleaned pot, put in the ribs, onions and ginger slices, boil them over a large fire and remove the floating foam; reduce the heat, pour it into a piece of kelp, then cook it in a small fire and add salt to seasoning.

Xu Hui scooped out a bowl of kelp soup and fed a piece of kelp to Xiao Dayong’s mouth. Xiao Dayong ate the kelp with some hesitation and tried to chew it with a complicated expression on his face. Niu Niu was anxious, and kept asking, “Brother, is it delicious? “Is it delicious?” After a while, Xiao Dazong swallowed the kelp. “It’s a little strange, but the meat tastes pretty good!”

“I also want to eat one!” I want to eat one too! The curious Niuniu quickly ate a piece of kelp. After she was done, she said to Xu Hui, “I still want to eat more, sister. There’s still meat in the kelp and it tastes like fish. It’s delicious.” After everyone tasted the seaweed, Xu Hui began to cook the remaining dishes that were relatively easy to cook. With little effort, they finished cooking the dumplings on Gou Sheng’s side and started to prepare the dumplings. Xu Hui busily scooped out some of each dish from the big box she bought and waited for the dumplings to be cooked before asking Xiao Da Yong to send it to Lin Qianhu.

Just as he was busy, he heard the door to the alleyway’s entrance being forcefully pushed open with a “bang.” Xu Hui’s hands couldn’t help but tremble as he turned his head to look at the alleyway’s entrance. The Lin Qianhu quickly rushed in, and the face of the warrior behind him was extremely ugly. Xu Hui could not help but shudder. When Xiao Da Yong saw that Lin Qianhu was actually running in, he was also shocked. He immediately put down what he was doing and quickly walked out of the kitchen. Lin Dingbei’s face was anxious, perspiration trickling down his forehead, when he saw Xiao Dazong, he anxiously asked: “Da Yong, where is the kunb? Is the kunb still there? ”

kunb? What was that? Da Wu who was behind Lin Dingbei quickly added: “Brother Da Yong, when I delivered this morning, I made a mistake. I placed a bunch of kunb s into the bag that I gave you. Lin Dingbei and Da Wu were both staring at him. Xiao Da Yong grinned, “So you’re talking about kelp? I was just about to send some soup over.” Lin Dingbei staggered and almost fell to the ground. What? Such a precious kunb was actually stewed?

“Did you guys really stew that kunb?” Da Wu didn’t give up and asked again. Xiao Da Yong nodded as if he couldn’t make head or tail of it. Da Wu looked at Lin Dingbei who had an ugly expression on his face, he kneeled down and said: “This subordinate is guilty, it is all this subordinate’s fault. Senior Qian Hu, please punish me!”

“What’s going on? Brother Wu, no, Senior Qian Hu, did I do something wrong? That kelp, no, kunb, ah! “My wife!” Xiao Da Yong looked extremely serious and became anxious.

Xu Hui could see everything clearly from inside. ShShequickly carried the steamed kelp and walked over. After blessing Lin Dingbei, Xu Hui passed the steamed kelp into Xiao Da Yong’s hands. Xiao Da Yong handed it to Lin Dingbei and said: “Senior Qian Hu, this is the kelp. No, we only used a little of the kunb. Xu Hui stared at Lin Dingbei unblinkingly as she watched Lin Dingbei use his hands to lift up the look of the kunb. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

Xu Hui conjectured and asked softly, “May I ask Senior Qian Hu if you want to use this, kunb, to treat Big Neck’s disease?” Lin Dingbei’s eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Hui in disbelief, “You’ve heard of galls?” I have heard of it, but our place is called Big Neck Disease. Uncle once gave us some kunb s to stew and drink, saying that we can prevent this disease! ”

“Stew soup? “Prevention?” Lin Dingbei’s eyes were filled with shock. He knew that the gall bladder could be treated with kunb, but he had never heard that it could be prevented. Xu Hui had to rack her brain and said, “Uncle once said that in the art of medicine, it is recorded that when the neck is treated, it becomes a gall and uses kunb and seaweed to divide the gall. In the end, the honey balls are like large apricot cores, containing a little bit of swallowing juice, about four or five times a day. You can see that consuming kunb s can cure gall tumors, so drinking kunb s’ soup can also prevent gall tumors. This type of black belt is called kelp, and there is also a type of goose claw vegetable called seaweed, I heard that kunb s are precisely made from these things to dry. People at the Southern Barbaric Sea often drink kunb s to boil soybeans or seaweed soup, so very few people have large neck disease! ”

“May I ask who your uncle is?” This was the first time he saw her in person. Although she was only 15 or 16 years old, and dressed in plain clothes, her face was still elegant, especially her black eyes, which looked extremely intelligent. No matter how he looked at it, she did not look like an ordinary woman.

“My uncle’s surname is Wu, he is a High Scholar from the 29th lunar year, and he loved to roam the mountains and water. He had once traveled to the south and brought back some kunb s for us.” “So that’s how it is,” Lin Dingbei’s face looked much better. He began to believe that Xu Hui must have seen kunb s being eaten before to be able to explain in such detail.

Xiao Da Yong could not help but interrupt: “Senior Qian Hu, believe what my wife said. My father-in-law is the mountain chief of the Cloud Platform, my wife has read many books, she knows everything!” Xu Hui’s face turned red. How could he praise her so highly in front of others? At first, he did not believe that someone who could eat kelp would defend himself in front of the Lin Qianhu. Xu Hui felt very warm in his heart.

Lin Dingbei was shocked. Although he was a martial general, he had initially walked the path of an Imperial Examinations, but because of fate, he had taken the martial arts exam. As a former scholar, he had heard of the famous Cloud Lu Institution in Jiang Prefecture.

The Great Wu who was kneeling on the ground could finally stand up. He carried a large pot of seaweed soup and walked away quickly and steadily. As long as Camp and the others could get some results after drinking the soup, he would have done his job. Who would have thought that these black ribbons would actually be precious kunb herbs? They were all carelessly given to Xiao Da Yong’s home. He was afraid that Xiao Da Yong would think that this was some sort of hay and burn it down as firewood.

Fortunately, Xiao Da Yong’s wife was knowledgeable and knew that kunb could be used to stew soup. Otherwise, he really would not be able to bear the consequences. The kunb’s problem was temporarily solved. Xu Hui hurriedly got Xiao Dazong to call Lin Qianhu over to sit inside the house while he went to the kitchen to organize the dishes he prepared for the Lin Qianhu to be served.
