eading eyes. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's nothing, you do what you need to do. This big pot of vegetable stew can't be sloppy today. If I'm really assigned to clean the toilets tomorrow, you can't...The system-purified five-flower pork is truly amazing. Cold water goes into the pot, and when the water boils, the aroma of the meat is so tempting.

Authentic twice-cooked pork must go through this process: first, cook it whole, then fish it out and slice it before stir-frying it again in the wok. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called twice-cooked pork.

Lou Xiaoe sniffed twice and couldn't help but curiously ask, "Silly Zhu, where did you buy this meat You wouldn't be able to buy such good pork belly at the market even after work, right"

He Yuzhu squinted and smiled, "Are you stupid I wouldn't go to the market first thing in the morning to buy meat and put it in the factory, then carry it back after work, would I"

Hey, just saying, this filial piety of ours is pretty genuine, right

Lou Xia'e rolled her eyes and continued scraping potatoes by herself, not even bothering to respond. Otherwise, given this person's character, he would surely brag about himself later!

Lou Xiaogua glared at him: "It'll be ready soon, what are you urging me for If you don't like it, just do it yourself! This old lady wouldn't even bother serving you!"

Saying is saying, but Lou Xiaoe's hands didn't stop.

When she had scraped off most of the potato skins, the meat in the pot was also boiling. He Yuzhu took out a pair of chopsticks, fished the meat out of the pot and threw it into a porcelain basin full of cold water on the side. He tossed it back and forth several times. When the meat cooled down almost completely, he placed it on the chopping board and with a few swipes, sliced the pieces of meat into even slices.

Taking a glance at the neatly arranged slices of meat on the chopping board, Lou Xia e couldn't help but nod in approval. Not to mention her cooking skills, at least this person's knife work was definitely top-notch!

Since the original owner was already a good cook, and the ingredients had been upgraded in the system space, when He Yuzhu put on an air of authority and poured the meat into the pot to stir-fry, the whole yard was filled with a tempting aroma of meat.

The deaf old woman heard and nodded her head: "Good grandson, your cooking skills have improved!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Alright, that's because my salary can't afford this kind of luxury. If I had enough money, you could enjoy this treat every day!"

The speaker may have meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. The deaf old woman smiled and replied, "That's easy! Just marry a wealthy wife, and you'll have everything!"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "Okay, then I'll borrow your auspicious words! Once I find a rich girlfriend, your good days will be right around the corner!"

Lou Xia'e beside him curled her lip and said, "With your behavior, which well-born lady would look at you"

He Yuzhu, skillfully tossing the pot, said loudly: "That's none of your business! My brother is just destined for this. The fortune teller when I was a kid said that I was born to be rich and noble, and I deserve a good life!"

Lou Xiaogua spat out a sound of "呸", sniffed her nose, but couldn't help but move her finger greedily.

It seems the old woman was right after all, this person is indeed quite skilled. Just the smell of the slightly full belly that had just been fed was enough to make it rumble again with hunger.

...........

Court,

The Jia family.

"So good! Grandma, it smells like meat!"

Bandeng smelled the aroma of braised pork and drooled.

Jia Zhang's pulled her nose with a grunt and frowned, "Who would be so inconsiderate during this time of year To eat meat without even bringing us a bowl!"

Qin Huaiyu silently nibbled on the steamed bun in her hand, not saying a word. She thought to herself, "This mother-in-law has a big heart. I wonder if Silly Zhu's lunch box will even be renewed afterwards. Now she's already thinking about someone else's meat."

Bǎnggěng wasn't happy. He had just picked out two pieces of meat from his lunchbox and hadn't even finished tasting them!

"Grandma, I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhang squinted at her daughter-in-law with triangular eyes: "Your mother's going, isn't she Our family has special circumstances, and we need to take care of many people in the courtyard. Eating a bowl of meat is not excessive!"

Qin Huaiyu pouted: "Mom, who in this day and age eats meat every day It's rare for people to have a bit of meat, so they just dryly come over like that. Who would be willing to give us their share"

The widowed woman was really reluctant to go out. The main reason was that the smell of meat coming from the back garden made her mouth water. If it was Master Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle courtyard, she would be bold enough to run over and ask for some, considering that Dongxu was once a disciple of the big shot.

But the backyard belongs to the second master. Going there uninvited would surely invite gossip. That Liu Haizhong is a man who takes a feather for a banner, and he certainly won't care about any feelings when the time comes. If he flaunts the authority of the second master, what he says might be unbearably harsh!

Jia Zhang didn't care about that. She glared at Qin Huairu and said coldly, "What about your son wanting to eat meat You can't even earn money yourself, so why act so high and mighty Everyone in this courtyard knows our family is struggling. If you don't come, we won't be eating dinner tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but have her eyes turn red.

Now that I'm working at the factory, I have to go back and take care of housework like laundry and cooking after work.

Grandma Jia, Zhang's mother-in-law, spent all day either mending shoes or keeping a close eye on her daughter-in-law, forbidding her from associating with any other men. She claimed that it was important for a widow to maintain propriety and avoid causing trouble.

Now it's great, the moment there's food, he immediately exposes himself. What's the point of this

"Mom, what if this is Xu Damai's family grilling meat You always said this man is rotten to the core and told me to stay away from him, didn't you"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law dared to talk back to her, Jia Zhang cursed with a cold face: "Is something wrong with your brain The other person is bad, does that mean the meat in the pot is also bad Go ask for it. Just clarify the ten yuan thing, saying that Silly Zhu has nothing to do with our family and he doesn't owe us even half a cent. As long as Lou Xiaoe is around, this kid won't dare to make a fuss! Then our family can both get ten yuan and have a bowl of delicious meat. What could be better"

This is really not taking oneself seriously, Qin Huaiyu's eyes welled up with tears as she stood up and said, "I'll go then, anyway, when the time comes, people will curse me badly, it's not just me who has to bear it!"

Or, to put it simply, a white lotus is just a white lotus.

Qin Huaiyu wants to get meat, she has to go through this.

She still had to make a big fuss, she had to make it clear to everyone in the yard that she was driven to these shameless acts by her mother-in-law.

This way, even if someone investigates later, everyone will only say that Mrs. Jia was unreasonable, and she herself is just an aggrieved little daughter-in-law. As long as she establishes this pitiful persona, no matter what happens in the future, she can still have a good reputation!t takes to satisfy even the second master.Seeing the glistening stir-fried pork, both the Yan family father and son were so happy their mouths couldn't close. Hey, today evening was definitely worth a...
