Chapter 49: Slaughtering Pigs

  The two treasures, Er Bao and San Bao, were peeling peanuts in the courtyard with a somewhat distracted look on their faces, frequently turning their heads to glance into the kitchen. They truly felt that following Tuni was really too happy, she could earn money, was willing to spend it, and was also skilled at cooking, this flavor was simply unmatched.

  He Axiu can also cook, but even a skilled housewife cannot make bricks without straw. No matter how delicious the black pancakes she makes are, they can't compare to Shen Sisi's meat dishes, which are lacking in technique.

  So it's not the cooking skills that were defeated, but the meat that defeated all the food they ate.

  Stir-fried the small dish, there was still some oil in the pot, Shen Sisi added some water, picked a few silk gourds from the backyard, peeled and cut them off, and cooked a soup. Although it didn't have eggs, Shen Sisi didn't mind either. Such food was already very good for their family.

  Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu returned home to a strong, fragrant smell. The dogs in the yard wouldn't leave, but they seemed immune. However, the dogs were well-behaved, not entering the yard or barking, only drooling and staring inside with their eyes... occasionally sniffing with their noses, reluctant to leave.

  The front yard of Lao Zhong's house has become a base for all the dogs in the village.

  Eating the tender shoots of the rattan leaves stir-fried with lean meat, the spicy flavor makes one cough yet want to eat more, mouth burning red, but still can't bear to put down chopsticks.

  He Yaxiu's eyes reddened, and she coughed: "...... Tuniu, what did you put inside? This smell... is strange, but it's actually quite delicious... I didn't expect the tasteless rattan leaves to be so good."

  Can't it be delicious?! With both meat and oil, of course it's delicious. Stir-fried tofu is the most oily because it absorbs oil. Normally at home when stir-frying a dish, who would spare the oil? It's basically tasteless without it. Although the country girl didn't put much vegetable oil in it, there was meat flavor on top, and with chili peppers, it was extremely fragrant.

  Everyone thinks these coarse black breads are delicious beyond words.

  Shen Sisi had already thought of an excuse and smiled: "Occasionally picked from the mountain, although the taste is strange, it can be eaten, but some people are not used to eating it..."

  Zhong Gensheng said: "Indeed, it's not bad, in the future we can pick some and put them in dishes too."

  The villagers in the mountains were making something to eat, which was normal. They had never thought about whether it was edible or poisonous, although they had never seen this thing before, but it tasted good, and it was different from the ordinary poisons they knew, so naturally they didn't suspect anything. So, they just thought it was an ordinary seasoning, and they didn't suspect anything at all.

  Shen Sisi narrowed her eyes, chili peppers were introduced from the Americas, it seems that they really haven't arrived here yet. However, she had to think of a way to grow some at home too, this thing is easy to cultivate and delicious to eat, if used in hot pot, it's truly an indescribable flavor...

  Just thinking about it makes me drool.

  Having eaten meat, I miss hot pot even more...... Ni Mei? ! This poor place, this poor world, doesn't even have hot pot. Maybe it's popular among the upper class because of various restrictions it hasn't been passed down? ! She guessed, after all, hot pot is oily, people here are so poor they can't even afford rice, let alone oil.

  After finishing dinner and cleaning up, Er Gouzi and the others came over, avoiding the villagers all the way, quietly entering, even speaking very carefully.

  They sniffed and could still smell the delicious meat from the Zhong family, they were so hungry that they couldn't bear it, wishing to kill the pig immediately and take it back home to taste the freshness, only regretting not being able to eat it overnight.

  Zhong Gensheng took a knife and entered the kitchen, then closed the courtyard gate.
