Zhu Xiuzhen was lured into a dream by the fragrance of this braised soup, and then was kicked by He Hu to wake up.

"Chaosheng's daughter-in-law, didn't you say that Chaosheng just went to buy meat? Why haven't you come back until now? Did it take so long to buy meat?" Zhu Xiuzhen leaned on the windowsill of the kitchen and looked out, looking at it.

Li Shengnan saw that the braised soup in the pot was almost boiled, and the meat He Chaosheng went to buy was not yet there, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and blurted out his words of concern, "Could it be that something is wrong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately strongly condemned and criticized by Zhu Xiuzhen.

"Bah, what nonsense! What can happen to the place where we go to buy meat from our village, which is only ten miles away? Chaosheng is tall and big, and he has strength when he is young, and after training in the army for so many years, who is not long-sighted dares to go to him to make trouble? Maybe he met some acquaintance on the road and talked to him and delayed it. ”

Li Shengnan's heart gradually let go, she thought about it, and asked Zhu Xiuzhen, "Mom, are the ribs I brought back from my mother's house still there?" This braised soup is boiled, just wait for the meat to go to the pot to mention the umami and meat aroma, but you can't delay." ”

"Yes, after you and Chaosheng were called away by your brother, I was afraid that the ribs would be broken, so I soaked all the ribs you brought back with cold water, put them in the cabinet at your feet, and put them in that green enamel basin with an iron plate on it, and you can get them by squatting down. ”

After saying this, Zhu Xiuzhen swallowed her saliva, and asked Li Shengnan in hindsight, "Chaosheng daughter-in-law, do you want to marinate pork ribs first?"

Li Shengnan nodded, "Yes, marinate the ribs first." This brine has always been the more marinated the more fragrant, after I marinated the ribs, the essence of the bone stick also ran into the pot, the taste of this marinated soup will definitely be much better, and then add a little seasoning to continue to marinate other meats. ”

Squatting down, Li Shengnan found the ribs according to Zhu Xiuzhen's words, poured out the cold water soaked in blood, and soaked the ribs with hot water, she pinched the pale pink meat stuck to the bones, and threw all the cut ribs into the braised soup.

Add a handful of dry wood to the stove, and the fire will soon ignite, and bubbles will gradually appear in the braised soup buckled under the lid.

When the bubbles from the bottom of the pot rose to the surface of the braised soup, they broke one after another, and the strong fragrance overflowed, and Zhu Xiuzhen, who was sitting next to the stove, became more and more calm.

Zhu Xiuzhen touched her conscience and asked herself, has she ever tasted a bite of meat that is so fragrant and tempting to her taste buds after living for most of her life?

The answer is definitely no, not only have I never tasted it, but I have never even smelled it.

"Chaosheng daughter-in-law, your ability to marinate meat is really good...... When will these ribs be marinated? Mom is hungry just by smelling it!" Zhu Xiuzhen asked with a blank eye.

Li Shengnan lifted the lid of the pot, held up a piece of pork ribs that were being marinated with chopsticks, and tore it along the texture of the meat, Li Shengnan said: "It's still alive inside, and the color on the outside hasn't turned sauce red, at least two more quarters of an hour to fully absorb the flavor." You wait a little longer, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. ”

Zhu Xiuzhen: "......" still has two quarters of an hour?!!

"Chaosheng daughter-in-law, my mother suddenly felt a little sleepy, first go back to the house and lie down for a while, and when the meat is marinated, you call your mother! Seeing you busy in the kitchen, my mother is sorry in her heart, and the matter of drying the braised meat will be handed over to my mother to do after a while. Mom has been wandering around this kitchen for decades, and she must be more familiar with finding things than you, and she must be more cheerful than you are!"

Li Shengnan responded with a smile, how could she not understand the meaning of Zhu Xiuzhen's words?

Zhu Xiuzhen was clearly uncomfortable because of the smell of braised pork ribs, and wanted to taste it, but the ribs were not yet marinated...... In desperation, she could only hide a little farther, and it is estimated that when the smell is lighter, she will not be so eager for braised pork ribs!

The next tragic facts proved that Zhu Xiuzhen was really wishful thinking.

As the braised pork ribs are marinated from medium-cooked to medium-rare, the aroma of braised pork reaches its peak, which not only envelops the entire He family, but also spreads the aroma of braised pork to the courtyards of the neighborhoods around the He family.

The Guo family, who lives next to the He family, is quite unhappy, because the day of Li Shengnan's braised pork ribs happened to collide with the 'Improving Life Day' that their family holds once a month.

It's not terrible to hit the shirt, whoever is ugly is embarrassed, and the same is true for the days of improving life, it is not terrible, who is poor and who is embarrassed!

Just imagine, in order to celebrate the 'Improving Life Day' once a month, Lao Guo's family specially mixed a small dish of pickled cucumbers and pickled cabbage, and bought half a catty of dried tofu, which is already the highest force of 'family gathering' on weekdays, but compared with the smell of braised pork wafting from the yard next door, pickled cucumbers and pickled cabbage look too cold no matter how you look at it.

This is to improve life, this is clearly to add blockage to life!

The son of the old Guo family sulked and put down his chopsticks, "What is this food? It also improves life, there is not even a little oil and water in the meal." Is this your idea or Mom's idea? Isn't that memorable?"

What happened to the Guo family is just a microcosm of many families, and there are more neighbors in a similar situation to the Guo family.

When the braised pork ribs were about to come out of the pot, He Chaosheng finally came back with a cart, he was carrying half a fan of pork on his back, and there were still a lot of bags tied to the handlebars and the back seat of the car.

As soon as he got home, he rushed directly to the kitchen without even drinking saliva, lying in front of the pot of braised meat, inhaling the fragrance of braised meat with a fascinated face, and was slapped on the arm by Li Shengnan before coming back to his senses, he pointed to the bottom of the boiling pot and said: "This is the smell, I smelled it before I entered the village!"

It can be seen that He Chaosheng is very excited.

Li Shengnan glanced at He Chaosheng angrily, freed his hand, took a few bags from He Chaosheng's hand, hurriedly glanced at the things and put them on the cabinet, and then turned around to help He Chaosheng unload the half of the pig that he had carried all the way on his back.

"Chaosheng, are you tired? I estimate that the braised pork ribs are about to come out of the pot, why don't you taste them first?" Li Shengnan suggested.

The daughter-in-law spoke, how could He Chaosheng not agree?

He took a piece of pork ribs that were not too big, peeled off the place where the meat and bones were sticky, and used chopsticks to divide a whole piece of lean meat into two halves, first tasted half of it himself, and after confirming that the meat was fully cooked, he immediately took the other half of the meat and stuffed the braised meat into Li Shengnan's mouth at a sudden speed.

Li Shengnan, who was unprepared, was startled by this sudden hot tongue and head meat, but after the scalding, the surprise on her face was replaced by a thick joy.

Thankfully, the first time she made the braised soup after being reborn, she succeeded!
