Chapter 34 Little Genius..What a Genius Should Eat

"Brother, is it ready?" Xiang Chen, like a hungry little plump bird, fluttered around Xu Hengzhou, asking incessantly.

Xu Hengzhou lifted the lid of the pot and glanced at the simmering meat inside. Using chopsticks, he gently prodded a piece, feeling that it was almost done. He stirred it slightly with a spatula, then covered the pot again.

Xiang Chen watched his brother's series of actions with anticipation. When the lid was lifted, the aroma of braised pork instantly filled the entire space. It then retracted back into the pot when the lid was covered again, leaving only a hint of the meaty fragrance, making Xiang Chen unable to resist sniffing.

Xu Hengzhou found it amusing as he observed the eager look of the little one, who hadn't yet reached the height of the stove. After some contemplation, he lifted the lid, skewered a piece of well-cooked potato with chopsticks, and brought it to Xiang Chen's mouth, saying, "Blow on it a bit and taste the flavor."

Xiang Chen immediately puffed up his cheeks and blew a few breaths before swiftly swallowing the potato.

The potato, stewed with the meat, absorbed the juices of the braised pork. With a single bite, the soft and tender potato melted in the mouth, carrying the essence of the meat. It was both soft and glutinous, exuding the fragrance of the meat.

Xiang Chen's eyes squinted with delight as he tasted the slightly warm braised potato, and he gave a thumbs-up to his brother.

Satisfied, Xu Hengzhou nodded. It seemed that his first attempt at making braised pork was successful. It wasn't in vain that he referred to so many recipes for comparison.

"Hey, it smells so good!" Song Wenbin entered, carrying a bucket and casually placing it by the door. He had just finished splitting the bones outside. The large bones they bought were truly massive; if not split, they couldn't be stewed.

He walked to the stove, lifted the lid himself, and revealed the simmering pieces of pork belly. The skin-on pork belly they purchased in the afternoon had been cut into small squares as per Xu Hengzhou's request and was now turning a deep brown color as it bubbled in the pot. The pieces of meat were sizzling with oil, looking absolutely mouthwatering.

Song Wenbin had smelled the aroma of meat drifting from other households while he was outside splitting the bones, but none of them had the unique fragrance of their own cooking.

He picked up a piece with chopsticks, unafraid of the heat, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Inhaling a few breaths, the sauce of the braised pork immediately filled his entire mouth. A gentle bite, and the meat separated instantly—fatty and delicate, lean and tender, the combination was rich but not greasy.

Song Wenbin quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, then took another piece before putting down the chopsticks, praising, "Delicious, really delicious, my nephew is truly talented."

Xu Hengzhou smiled without saying anything, seeing that the meat was ready, he took a small bowl to serve it. With the addition of potatoes, this serving was substantial.

He carried the meat outside, while Song Wenbin brought out the freshly baked bread. Xiang Chen quickly brought out the bowls and chopsticks for the three of them.

The family of three sat around a small table with two bowls in the middle—one filled with braised pork and potatoes, and the other with golden bread. It looked quite sumptuous.
