Chapter 37 The aroma of big meat
In the kitchen, a strong aroma of meat is filling the air.
Xiaoyan, who was squatting in front of the stove to help watch the fire, could not help but salivate when she smelled the smell of meat.
"Brother, when can we eat?" The little guy couldn't help it.
"Just simmer for a while longer."
Lu Qing actually felt a little unsteady.
As a carnivore in his previous life, he has never eaten decent meat except fish since he came to this world.
Now smelling the rich aroma of meat, his glutton is almost being aroused.
Lu Qing makes braised pork.
Of course, due to the lack of seasonings, what he made was a simplified version of braised pork, or it might be more appropriately called braised pork.
The reason why he made braised pork was because he saw someone selling bean paste at a big market.
It was sold by a peasant woman. It was put in jars at first, and he almost didn't notice it.
Later, he tasted a little and found that the taste was quite similar to soy sauce, but not salty enough. He was immediately surprised.
I bought a lot immediately, which made the peasant woman feel grateful.
Lu Qing took the opportunity to ask about the origin of the sauce, and found out that the recipe was left by the peasant woman's grandfather.
His grandfather was originally the chef of a restaurant in a distant city. Later, due to some changes, he lived here.
After she got married, her husband's family was poor, so she thought of making some bean paste to supplement the family income.
Beans are cheap anyway, so even if they go bad, the loss will not be big.
However, people here don’t seem to be very receptive to bean paste.
She has been selling in the market for so long, and Lu Qing is still the biggest customer she has encountered.
After Lu Qing heard this, he felt sympathy and bought another jar of sauce, which made the peasant woman feel grateful again.
After the unexpected gain from Doujiang, Lu Qing went shopping in detail at the store.
It is a pity that there are no more surprises like Doujiang.
I saw an old man selling candy, and he bought some.
Sugar is much more expensive than bean paste, but Lu Qing has always been willing to spend money on food.
It was with these gains that Lu Qing decided to make a braised pork meal.
Half-fat and lean pork belly, cut into pieces, blanch first, then pan-fry until the surface is slightly brown.
Then pick up the meat and start stir-frying the sauce.
After frying out the aroma of the sauce, he poured in the slightly fried meat pieces and stir-fried them together.
After that, add sugar, salt, and water and simmer together.
This is definitely not the authentic braised pork, but the conditions are limited, and Lu Qing can only do this.
The good thing is, even if the method is simple, meat is meat.
After a period of simmering, the aroma of meat wafted out, still making the brothers and sisters salivate.
After estimating that the time was almost up, Lu Qing opened the lid of the pot and prepared to collect the juice.
The moment the lid of the pot is opened, the heat rises, and the rich aroma of meat hits your face, filling the entire kitchen.
The aroma of the meat even spread outside the house, attracting villagers passing by who could not help but stop in their tracks after smelling it.
After smelling it for a while, I realized that the aroma of meat came from Lu Qing’s house, and I was immediately speechless.
"With such a strong smell of meat, how much meat has Lu Qing cooked at home?"
Hand wanted to go in and have a look, but felt it was impolite.
After standing for a while, I felt that I was getting hungrier and hungry, so I hurried home.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but go in and eat.
The aroma of the meat spread farther and farther, and could be smelled by several nearby houses.
After confirming that the fragrance came from the Lu family, I couldn't help but sigh.
"The life of the Lu family is getting better and better. What kind of meat is this cooked? It's so fragrant!"
"I thought that after the death of Lu Ming and his wife, the two children, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan, were all alone. , It will be very difficult, but you don’t have to worry about it now.”
“I heard that Lu Qing and Da’an went to the market in the morning and bought a lot of things. Lu Qing also returned all the food, oil and salt that he had borrowed from everyone.”
"Old Doctor Chen is really good to his disciples."
"It's a pity that the brat in my family doesn't live up to expectations, otherwise I would also like to ask the old doctor to accept him as a disciple." He can't read the book either. "
"It's the same for my family, and your boy can't even count to ten, so we are the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother."
At this moment, he was thickening the gravy and starting to serve the meat.
The completely stewed meat pieces are served, trembling when they fall into the bowl, and they look extremely tempting.
Looking at the quality of the braised pork, Lu Qing couldn't bear it.
He quickly fried a green vegetable over high heat, and then announced that it was time to eat.
"Xiaoyan, this is yours, eat slowly and be careful not to burn it."
At the dinner table, Lu Qing first gave Xiaoyan a piece of meat and put it on her rice.
"I know, brother."
Xiaoyan responded obediently, and then started to blow on the meat in her bowl, hoping to cool it down quickly.
After serving Xiaoyan, Lu Qing also served himself a piece of braised pork.
Blowed it to cool it down slightly, then took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This meat has been simmered for a long time and has become completely flavorful.
Soft and glutinous with a hint of elasticity, the taste is excellent.
After eating a piece of braised pork, Lu Qing looked satisfied.
It’s not in vain that he spent so much time cooking.
Although due to the lack of seasoning, the taste of this braised pork is not as good as the one he made in his previous life.
But being able to eat a bite of such meat under today's conditions is enough to satisfy him.
"Brother, this meat is delicious!"
Xiaoyan also had a mouthful of oil at this time and happily said to Lu Qing.
"Haha, of course, it took a lot of effort for my brother to make this." Lu Qing said proudly.
"My brother's cooking is so delicious. From now on, Xiaoyan will also learn to cook from his brother, and then she can cook a lot of delicious food by herself!"
The snack foodie talked about her ambitions.
"Then Xiaoyan should eat well. When you grow up, my brother will teach you how to cook."
"Okay!"
The brother and sister had another delicious dinner.
After finishing the meal and tidying up, Lu Qing took a piece of cloth and went to Uncle Zhang's house next door.
"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhang!"
"What's the matter, Ah Qing?" Uncle Zhang came out of the house.
“Is my second aunt at home?”
The second aunt, Uncle Zhang’s second daughter-in-law, is famous for her good needlework in the village.
"She's in the house, are you looking for her?" Uncle Zhang shouted into the room, "The second son's wife, come out quickly. Ah Qing wants to see you for something."
"What does Ah Qing want from me?" A woman came out of the house.
「是这样的，我今早在大集，买了一块布，想给小妍做两件衣裳，但我不会针线，就想请二婶帮忙，工钱我会照付的。」
陆青展示了一下手中的布。
"You kid, what do you mean by wages? Neighbors should help each other. You give me the cloth and I'll think about it. Ask Xiaoyan to come to my place tomorrow. I'll give her some measurements and I'll make it for her in the next two days." Aunt Zhang took the piece of cloth and said.
“That’s right, it’s too polite of you to bring such a big piece of meat at noon.” Uncle Zhang also said.
The little guy's clothes were originally modified from the ones he wore before, and now they are even more patched.
When he was washing clothes these two days, he found that some seams were cracked.
Just today I saw someone selling cloth at a large market. Although the quality was average, the price was also expensive.
But Lu Qing still bought some, just because he wanted to ask someone to help him make two new clothes.
Hitchhich didn’t tell Xiaoyan that she was going to have new clothes. Lu Qing planned to give her a surprise tomorrow.
This night, Xiaoyan still failed to wait for the arrival of the little black beast and fell asleep.
Woke up early the next morning, still feeling gloomy.
But soon, her depression disappeared because she learned about the new clothes.
Two days later, the new clothes were sewn. When the little guy put them on, he felt very happy and showed off for several days.
Because I went to the market to do some shopping, I have enough daily necessities.
In the following days, Lu Qing stayed in the village and did not go out.
Every day I go to Dr. Chen to study, and when I come back I do some farm work, such as planting vegetables in the yard. In the afternoon I think about how to make delicious food under limited conditions.
Occasionally, I will catch some fish and feed them to the night civet.
Life goes by a certain pattern.
Finally, this morning, he and Xiaoyan went to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain.
The old doctor told him that he no longer needed to read the "Baicao Jing".
