Chapter 45 Chapter 45: Served by the Wife
This night, Dong Huiying and the Liang brothers still slept together on the fire, and the next day she didn't reluctantly crawl out of the bed until three o'clock in the morning.
When Dong Huiying was washing, she saw the Liang brothers pulling the wood to go home, the collapsed house in the West House was originally intended to be repaired on the original foundation, but later found that it was very unsafe after half of the house collapsed, so it was better to push it to reconstruction.
The brothers were busy, and even the third and fifth children who were not well were also helping together, but only Dong Huiying and the paralyzed old lady Liang Yuru were the most idle in the whole family.
After washing her face, she saw the second child coughing violently with her mouth covered, Dong Huiying went into the stove room, she specially bought some rock sugar and honey in the town yesterday, and soon, she heated a pot of boiling water, and made a big bowl of cough syrup with rock sugar honey and herbal leaves.
"Take a sip and try it," she approached Liang Shuyu with sugar water.
“…… Thank you. ”
Liang Shuyu took it and took a small sip delicately, originally after he coughed, his throat was hot and painful, but after drinking a sip of syrup, his throat was better, and even the cough was reduced.
Liang Shuyu looked at the syrup at a moderate temperature, and looked up to see that Dong Huiying, who was originally standing beside her, had already walked away, and she happily pounced on the Liang brothers who were busy rebuilding the house like a little butterfly.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
She was a little idle, but the brothers all shook their heads.
They can do the rough work of building a house by themselves, although this kind of thing is handled by the wife owner in other people's homes, but the biggest characteristic of the Liang brothers is that they are not squeamish, and the men next to them are pretentious, but they can endure hardships and fatigue, but they have become an outlier for Dayuan men.
The fourth Liang Haoming looked at Dong Huiying, and found that she looked a little lost, as if she was regretting that she couldn't help, and the ghost popped out a sentence, "The big cakes baked by the wife that day are delicious." ”
"Ahh It's almost noon, so let's have a hearty meal today. ”
She finally found something to do, and with a smile she turned her head and went into the stove, first refining some lard with fat, and then clinking herself in the stove to show her skills.
Yesterday in the town, she bought a lot of things, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all piled up in the stove.
Dong Huiying turned over what she wanted from the pile of things in the corner.
She planned to make braised pork at noon, first prepared green onions, ginger and cinnamon, pepper nutmeg, grass fruit cloves, cumin, tangerine peel bay leaves, dried chili peppers, as well as nutmeg rock sugar and rock sugar, and then boiled the pot to add water, and sprinkled all the condiments into the pot.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer.
After a large pot of brine is ready, the cut pork is put into cold water to boil, forcing out the blood foam in the meat, and then the brine is toned pork, plus some oil, and finally simmered for half an hour.
Smelling the fragrance of oil wafting out of the stove, the brothers swallowed their saliva wildly, this meat is so fragrant, even if they haven't eaten it yet, just smelling the fragrance has already hooked out the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs.
Mrs. Gao, who lives opposite the Liang family, is also a little curious, what is this Liang family cooking? It's fragrant, and it's almost flowing out.
If it was changed to someone else, Mrs. Gao might have to run over to take a look, but Dong Dabao, the wife of the Liang family, was a master who did not hesitate, she thought about it again and again, and finally withstood the temptation of meat.
More things are better than less things, no matter how fragrant the meat is, it is also someone else's, if you run over recklessly, in case you collide with the big scourge of Dong Niangzi, it will be too bad.
