One of the siblings was in charge of the kitchen, while the other was tending to the fire below.
Zhao Yun 'er was going to make braised pork for this meal, and she was going to use the bones she bought to make soup at night.
Children liked to eat meat, and they liked the taste of braised pork even more.
The meat that Zhao Yun 'er bought had a mixture of fat and lean meat, and was most suitable for braising. First, she washed the meat, cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, and marinated it with salt, cooking wine, and shredded ginger for more than ten minutes.
In addition to the braised pork, Zhao Yun 'er first stir-fried a plate of Ma Lan head that she brought back from the mountain yesterday.
"Second Sister, can I ask you a question?" Zhao Tianan asked while tending to the fire.
Zhao Yun 'er stir-fried the meat and replied, "What's the question? Just say it."
"Second Sister, why do I feel like you've changed?"
"I've changed?"
"Well... you weren't like this before."
Zhao Yun 'er smiled, "Isn't it good that I've changed? You don't like the way I am now? "
Zhao Tianan hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Second Sister, I think you're good the way you are now!"
"Haha, so you don't have to ask so many questions. People always change. Only after experiencing a lot will you become the person you want to be. For example, in the past, Second Sister would only be bullied, causing Doudou to be wronged. Now, Second Sister wants to be stronger and let herself and Doudou live a good life."
Zhao Tianan nodded heavily. "Second Sister, you're right."
"Tianan, make the fire bigger. Second Sister needs to roast meat now." Zhao Yun 'er called out.
"Okay, Second Sister."
This time, Zhao Yun 'er went to the city and bought some of the seasonings that she usually needed for cooking. Compared to grain, these things were not expensive.
After the oil was heated up, Zhao Yun 'er put the chopped ginger, garlic, and other ingredients into the pot and stir-fried for a while. Then, she put in the meat, and added some soy sauce and other seasonings. Not long after, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat.
Zhao Tianan only felt that the aroma of the meat was too alluring. In the past, the roasted meat at home didn't smell like this. The saliva in his mouth kept flowing into his stomach.
When the broth in the pot gradually decreased, Zhao Yun 'er asked Zhao Tianan to reduce the heat and began to collect the broth.
The taste of the braised pork she made was praised by everyone as delicious. It was even better than the food cooked by the chefs of the star hotels outside.
The steaming rice in the other pot was almost done.
Just as she was waiting for Doudou and Zhao Tianfu to come back for dinner, she saw a five or six-year-old boy running over to Zhao Yun 'er. He panted and said, "Doudou's mother, Doudou was beaten up by someone. Hurry over."
Zhao Yun 'er recognized this child. He was the youngest son of the Family Zhu next door, Zhu San 'er.
When Zhao Yun'er heard this, her mind went blank for a moment. She hurriedly asked, "San 'er, where was Doudou beaten up? Hurry up and take me there. "
"At the paddy field!" Zhu San 'er said.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and led Zhao Yun 'er.
Zhao Yun 'er ran all the way, full of worry.
Doudou was still so young. What if he was hurt by other children? Children were not as strong as adults. Even the slightest bump would not be tolerated.
Zhao Yun 'er followed Zhu San 'er to the paddy field. She saw Doudou standing at the side and crying. Zhao Tianfu was wrestling with another child. There were other children around, cheering and watching the scene.
The child who fought with Zhao Tianfu was the only son of Zhao Yuner 's second uncle, Zhao Tianyu.
