The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 44 Making Braised Pork

"Sister-in-law, no need, I can do it myself." Chen Xiaolin saw that her hall sister-in-law and eldest aunt had both hands full of things, so she was embarrassed to ask her to carry the basket for her. After all, she had a lot of things in the basket, so it was quite good. Heavy.

"Let me get it!" Uncle Chen had just come out of the brigade headquarters and was about to go home when he saw his wife, daughter-in-law, and niece resting on the roadside with a lot of things.

"Uncle, you're done!"

"Well, give me your backpack and I'll carry it back for you."

Uncle Chen put Chen Xiaolin's backpack on his back, and even took the things in Aunt Chen's hands and held them in his hands.

Aunt Chen saw that her man had finished taking the things, so she went to help Liu Hua get them.

Chen Xiaolin finally walked home. For the first time, she felt that her home was a bit far away from the brigade headquarters.

As soon as Chen Xiaolin opened the door, she heard two pigs growling hungry.

She accepted her fate and poured the pig food into the pot, adding bran and cornmeal.

Chen Xiaolin saw the two cute little black pigs eating so deliciously. She was also very happy. Eat quickly, eat more, grow up early, and let me eat meat too.

After a busy day today, Chen Xiaolin was almost exhausted. She no longer wanted to make dinner. The meat and pig heads that Chen Xiaolin bought today had already been placed in the space. But in order to hide her from others, she still boiled a pot of water.

People in the countryside are so connected that if there is no smoke coming out of your own chimney, others will soon find out the clues.

After finally waiting until it was completely dark, Chen Xiaolin quickly entered the space and took a bath with spiritual spring water in the space villa.

After taking a bath, Chen Xiaolin felt completely comfortable. I lay down on the big bed in the villa and fell asleep after a while.

By the time Chen Xiaolin woke up, almost twelve hours had passed in space. It seemed that she was really exhausted today.

After sleeping and drinking enough, Chen Xiaolin started to pack the crops in the space again. After planting watermelons some time ago, Chen Xiaolin planted sweet potatoes and corn twice more.

Although she no longer wants to grow food, she still wants to eat the pigs she raises! When she bought piglets some time ago, she secretly bought two more pigs, a male and a female, using someone else's identity.

The two pigs in the space are now very big, and Chen Xiaolin plans to kill them after the autumn harvest.

When Chen Xiaolin came to the orchard, she saw two pigs separated by a fence leisurely eating sweet potato vines.

I didn't have time to come in and feed them during the day today. Fortunately, Chen Xiaolin also planted a lot of sweet potatoes under the fruit trees. Otherwise, with Chen Xiaolin's memory, they would definitely starve to death.

Chen Xiaolin took out the pig food from the warehouse and poured it into a large basin.

This large pot of pig food is enough for them to eat for several days.

Chen Xiaolin picked up eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs. She no longer plans to hatch chicks recently. Chen Xiaolin also plans to kill all the chickens, ducks and geese now.

This night, through Chen Xiaolin's efforts, she had killed every small animal in the space.

Coming out of the space, it's morning again. After Chen Xiaolin finished running and practicing boxing, she took the pig head out of the space and cleaned it.

Chen Xiaolin first shaved off the pig skull, which Chen Xiaolin planned to use to make soup with radishes.

Chen Xiaolin likes eating pig head meat, but she doesn't like handling pig heads very much. Fortunately, when she was stocking up, someone else helped her clean the pig's head, so she cleaned it, cut the meat, and started marinating it.

Chen Xiaolin put all the prepared pork head meat into the pot, then added dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, rock sugar, and a marinade bag.

It has been braised for about ten minutes, and the aroma of braised pork is already wafting everywhere.

Today, since they don't have to go to work on holiday, Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen are taking care of their children at home.

The smell of meat came from next door, which made the two old people greedy.

"Old man, you said Xiaolin was making delicious food so early in the morning."

It should be braised pork! I ate this when I was young, and now that I think about it, I still have endless aftertaste." When Grandpa Chen was young, he followed the army and fought against Japanese soldiers. Later, he returned to his hometown because of an injury to his leg. He still walks with a slight limp.

"You ate it decades ago, and you said it as if you still remember the taste."

"Of course you remember it! If you don't believe it, let's go over and have a look. Xiaolin must be making braised pork."

"I think you want to go over and eat! If you stick your butt up, I'll know what you want to do." Grandma Chen found it a bit funny. This old man in her family is becoming more and more like a child, but the meat cooked by Xiaolin is really delicious. , even she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Grandma, let me go and help you find out what's delicious." When Goudan smelled the fragrance, he had long wanted to go over and have a look. Now that he had found an excuse, he went straight out without waiting for Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen to respond. Ran away.

Chen Xiaolin didn't know about the dispute between Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen next door. She was currently cutting blanched pork belly. She planned to use the five kilograms of pork belly to make chili fried pork.

It just so happens that the peppers in the vegetable garden have grown up and are ready to be eaten. Since the autumn harvest is so hard, we still need to make some dishes that are more suitable for rice.

Before Chen Xiaolin had finished cutting the meat, she heard Goudan knocking on the door and calling her aunt.

Chen Xiaolin could probably guess that the clever little Goudan must have smelled the fragrance.

As soon as she opened the door, Chen Xiaolin saw Goudan rushing in like a cannonball.

"Little aunt, what are you making? It smells so good that I'm hungry again just after breakfast."

"I'm braised pork head, it won't be ready to eat soon."

"Little aunt, can you give me some soup to mix with rice later?" Goudan was embarrassed to ask his little aunt to give him meat, but it was good to have soup with rice, and he was easily satisfied.

"You come over to my little aunt for dinner later. My little aunt will let you eat meat and eat big." Chen Xiaolin still likes Goudan, not to mention that Goudan's parents are also very good to Chen Xiaolin. If he just wants to eat meat, Chen Xiaolin will definitely make him get what he wants.

"Little aunt, let me help you light the fire."

With Goudan helping her light the fire, Chen Xiaolin can worry about her own affairs.

After Chen Xiaolin cut the pork belly, she started cutting the peppers. The peppers in Chen Xiaolin's vegetable garden are growing very well. These peppers were something she had stocked up in her previous life, so in addition to giving some to Uncle Chen and the others, she would also keep the rest and put them in the space, keeping them for later eating. .

Chen Xiaolin saw that Goudan was burning so seriously that she planned to reward him well.

Chen Xiaolin went to the vegetable garden to look at the watermelons she planted two months ago. She didn't know if it was because of the water from the spiritual spring. The watermelons in the vegetable garden grew very fast. Now many of them are almost ready to eat.
