Chapter 37 Big meat is fragrant

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 it for a while longer.

Lu Qing actually felt a little unable to stand.

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 greed was almost aroused.

Lu Qing cooks braised pork.

Of course, due to the lack of seasoning, 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 and put in jars at first, but 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 pleasantly surprised.

I bought a lot immediately, which made the peasant woman 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, but due to some changes, he ended up living here.

After she got married, her husband's family was poor, so she thought of making bean paste to supplement the family income.

Beans are cheap anyway, so even if they go bad, the loss won’t be big.

However, people here don’t seem to be very receptive to bean paste.

She has been selling at Daji for so long, and Lu Qing is still the biggest customer she has ever met.

After Lu Qing heard this, he felt sympathetic and bought another jar of sauce, which made the peasant woman feel grateful again.

After the unexpected gain of Doujiang, Lu Qing went shopping in detail at the store.

It's a pity that there are no more surprises like Doujiang.

However, I saw an old man selling candy and bought some.

The price of 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 cook braised pork.

Cut the semi-fat and lean pork belly into pieces, blanch it in water first, and then fry it until the surface is slightly brown.

Then scoop 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.

Then add sugar, salt, and water and simmer together.

This is definitely not genuine braised pork, but conditions are limited, and Lu Qing can only do this.

But the good news is that even if the method is simple, meat is meat.

After stewing for a period of time, the aroma of meat wafted out, which still made the brother and sister 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 the face, filling the entire kitchen.

The smell of meat even spread outside the house, causing villagers passing by to smell it and couldn't help but stop in their tracks.

After smelling it for a while, I realized that the smell of meat came from Lu Qing's house, and I was stunned.

With such a strong meaty aroma, how much meat did Lu Qing cook at home?

I wanted to go in and take a look, but I 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 might not be able to help but go in and eat.

The aroma of meat spread farther and farther, and several nearby houses could smell it.

After confirming that the fragrance came from the Lu family, he couldn't help but sigh.

The Lu family's life is getting better and better. What kind of meat is this? It's so fragrant!

I thought that after the death of Lu Ming and his wife, the two children, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan, would be left alone and have a hard time, but now there is no need to worry.

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 my brat doesn't live up to expectations, otherwise I would also want to beg the old doctor to accept him as his disciple.

Come on, the guy in your family doesn't even know a word of Chinese characters. He can't understand even this medical book.

Jing said that my family is the same as yours. He can't even count to ten. We are the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother.

…

Lu Qing didn't know what the villagers were talking about.

At this moment, he was thickening the gravy and starting to serve the meat.

The thoroughly stewed pieces of meat 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 stir-fried a green vegetable and declared it was time to eat.

Xiaoyan, this is yours, eat it 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 began to blow on the meat in her bowl, hoping to cool it down quickly.

After serving Xiaoyan, Lu Qing also picked up a piece of braised pork for himself.

I blew it to cool it down a little, then took a bite, and my eyes suddenly lit up.

He had stewed the meat for a long time and it was completely flavorful.

It is soft and glutinous with a hint of elasticity and has an excellent taste.

After eating a piece of braised pork, Lu Qing looked satisfied.

It's no wonder 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 cooked 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. In the future, Xiaoyan will also learn to cook from my brother, and then she can make a lot of delicious food by herself!

The snack foodie talks about his ambitions.

Then Xiaoyan needs to eat well. When you grow up, my brother will teach you how to cook.

good!

The brother and sister had another wonderful 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 room.

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 house, Second brother, his wife, come out quickly. Ah Qing needs to see you for something.

What does Ah Qing want from me? A woman came out of the house.

It's like this. I bought a piece of cloth at Daji this morning. I want to make two clothes for Xiaoyan, but I don't know how to sew, so I want to ask my second aunt for help. I will pay for it.

Lu Qing showed the cloth in his hand.

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 and I'll give her some measurements. I'll give it to her in the next two days. She's ready. Aunt Zhang took the cloth and said.

That's right, it would be too polite of you to bring such a big piece of meat at noon. Uncle Zhang also said.

We can't let Second Aunt work in vain. Lu Qing said with a smile, Then it's settled, I have to go back and read.

Okay, okay, it's important to study. Go back quickly.

After returning home, Lu Qing looked at Xiaoyan playing in the yard and smiled.

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.

I happened to see someone selling cloth at a large market today. 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.

Without telling Xiaoyan that she was about to have new clothes, Lu Qing planned to give her another surprise tomorrow.

This night, Xiaoyan still couldn't wait for the arrival of the little black beast and fell asleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, I still felt gloomy.

But soon, her depression disappeared because she found out about the new clothes.

Two days later, the new clothes were sewn. When the little guy put them on, he felt so happy and showed off for several days.

Because I went to a large 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 meals under limited conditions.

Occasionally I would catch some fish and feed them to the night civet.

Life is like a routine.

Finally, this morning, he and Xiaoyan arrived at the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain.

The old doctor told him that he no longer needed to read the Baicao Jing.
