Chapter 18: Braised pork

Mu Lang has been sitting outside the broken thatched hut waiting for his sister to come back, and he has been waiting since noon, halfway, Caiyun wanted to persuade him to go back, but he refused, so he had to sit under the sun, his eyes were almost piercing, and his little face was also red.

Waiting, waiting, and finally seeing a figure approaching in the distance.

Mu Lang jumped up and jumped up to meet him, "Big sister, big sister......"

Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw him, and touched his head with a smile. People's feelings are really strange, she has only been here for two days, but she feels sorry for Mu Lang and Caiyun like her younger brothers and sisters.

Caiyun heard Mu Lang's cry in the courtyard, and hurriedly ran out, "Eldest sister, why did you come back, but you scared me to death," he ran up as he said and untied Mu Xiang's back basket.

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "After a delay in the town for a while, I bought this and that, it's good to be able to come back before dark, let's go, let's go home, there is something delicious tonight." ”

She pulled Mu Lang with one hand, and carried the back basket with Caiyun with the other hand to go home.

Mu Xiang entered the courtyard and let them enter the house, she turned around and plugged in the courtyard door, but looking at the collapsed courtyard wall, it really made no difference whether it was plugged in or not.

At present, the most important thing, in addition to planting vegetables, is to build a courtyard wall, otherwise there is no sense of security! The courtyard wall was covered, and I slept more steadily.

As soon as Caiyun put the basket on the small table in the outer kitchen, Mu Lang couldn't wait to reach out and look inside. It's been bitter for a long time, and even if it's wrapped through layers, you can still smell the meat.

Caiyun slapped his hand away, "What's the hurry, wait for me to take it off." She saw the top white noodles at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, where did you get the white noodles, so much, huh?" And steamed buns...... Wow, is this meat? ”

After all, they are all children, and when they see the things in the back basket, Caiyun is about to jump up with joy.

Mu Xiang scooped water from under the porch and washed his hands, then entered the house, and said to them with a smile: "I figured out a recipe, but I didn't expect the dishes to be cooked to be quite delicious, so I tried to find a place to sell the recipes, these are all bought with the money from selling recipes, and there are lard and vegetable oil here!" ”

Mu Lang didn't look at anything else, he just stared at the buns, and his saliva was about to flow out.

Mu Xiang knew that they were hungry, so they didn't pack up their things, so they took out the buns and pork belly first, "Caiyun, you go and get some firewood, and I'll make braised pork for you at night!" ”

"Well, I'll go now," Caiyun ran out of the room.

Mu Lang came up and looked incredulous, "Eldest sister, can we really eat meat at night?" ”

"Of course, otherwise in such a hot weather, if you put it on hold, it will be bad, tonight I will burn all the meat, and put some mushrooms we picked in the morning, and when they are cooked, even if they can't be eaten, they won't be bad," Mu Xiang carried the meat and prepared to wash it outside. Mu Lang still followed step by step, watching her wash the meat and watch her cut the meat.

Caiyun came in with firewood and grass, sat down under the stove, and lit a fire for her.

Looking at the two stoves, a large stove and a small stove. Mu Xiang brushed the other pot that had been empty for a long time, took the pot raft, which is a raft made of bamboo, added water underneath, put the raft on the shelf, and then put the bun on the raft, which is the same as steaming steamed buns. All she buys are meat buns, and she has to eat them hot, otherwise she will have a bad stomach. As for the small pot, it is used for stir-frying.

"Caiyun, the cauldron is boiled over a strong fire, add some firewood to the small pot, don't make the fire too big, otherwise you will paste the pot," Mu Xiang told her sister while waving the spatula.

Caiyun responded with a smile, and the movements in his hands were skillful and neat.

Mu Lang stood by the stove, his eyes unblinking, watching the eldest sister stir-fry, listening to the pork meeting the oil, making a 'stinging' sound, only felt that this was the best sound in the world.

The lard has not been refined yet, but fortunately, the pork belly has oil, and you have to scoop some oil out when you fry it!

The dishes fried on the stove are fragrant and have its special smoky aroma. Not only Mu Lang and Caiyun felt greedy, but even Mu Xiang felt that her stomach was growling, and she only ate one bun at noon, and she had already run out of it after such a long journey.

Seeing that the pork belly was almost stir-fried, Mu Xiang took the soy sauce and vinegar from the back basket and poured some into the pot. With the seasoning of these two things, it is the real aroma of braised pork.

Caiyun poked his head out from behind the pot hole and stared at the small pot, "Sister, let's eat better today than the New Year, alas, if only we could eat meat in the future." ”

Mu Xiang smiled, "What's this, I'll take you to fish for shrimp tomorrow, we don't make money by going to the town as a helper, the money is too cost-effective, in the future, we will make money from the soil and water, we will earn more than before, and we can still have delicious food every day, and when the vegetables in the vegetable garden are planted, we can also plant a lot of things, so we don't have to worry about eating." She scooped a little water from the bucket and added it to the small pot, and had to let the meat simmer for a while, and then put down the scoop, and Muxiang washed the mushrooms again.

Caiyun and Mu Lang's eyes lit up when they heard the scene she described, they couldn't even imagine that kind of day! I used to think that I could fill my stomach. How dare you have the luxury of having good things to eat, and if you don't freeze hungry, it's good.

However, they believe in Mu Xiang, she has always been the backbone of the three of them, and if she says yes, there will be one.

Caiyun guarded the stove fire, hugged his knees, and smiled warmly.

After a while, the steamed buns in the cauldron were steamed, and the smell of steamed buns came up in the whole kitchen. Mu Lang stretched out his hand several times to lift the lid of the pot, wanting to take a bun and taste it, but halfway through, Mu Xiang stopped him. You can't give him unsteamed meat. Mu Lang's foundation is weak, if he gets sick, it will be fatal.

After a while, Mu Xiang looked at the soup in the small pot and almost finished it, and the mushrooms were also dyed into sauce color by the juice of soy sauce. The stew was long enough, the fat was soft, the soup was viscous, and it was very fragrant.

"Caiyun, hurry up and take Mu Lang to wash your hands, we're ready to eat," Mu Xiang urged Caiyun with a smile.

"Hey, I'll go right away," Caiyun had been waiting for her words for a long time, and quickly stood up and pulled Mu Lang out.

Mu Xiang found a small pot, put the pork belly and roasted mushrooms, covered the pot, put the small pot on the table, and lifted the lid of the cauldron. Press the surface of the bun with your hand, the skin is elastic and not sticky, which means that it has been steamed.

Caiyun and Mu Lang quickly washed their hands and came back, when Caiyun came in, she turned around and plugged in the door of the house, it was getting dark outside, she ran into the inner room, and touched a very short candle head, which was a candle that had been stored for a long time and was used for emergencies, but today she made an exception and used it.

Mu Xiang looked at her running around lighting candles, and thought to herself that there were still so many things to buy, and she would have to go to the town again in a few days to buy an oil lamp, so that it would not be dark at night.
