Chapter 66: Where Did The Seasoning Come From?

  He Axiu handed each of the four people a pigtail and said: "Eat it quickly, after eating, you won't grind your teeth..."

  She thought for a moment about the black line, this was an old saying, she didn't refuse, and ate it with rice, being virtuous as flowing water.

  "This sauce is so delicious, the dipping sauce is also spicy and fragrant... it's really delicious..." San Bao said with his mouth full of pig's trotters.

  "Ah, Tuniang, where did you get this seasoning from?!" He Axiu asked with a smile.

  "The mountain-picked... " Shen Sisi smiled and said: "It's just casually paired, didn't expect the taste to be so good."

  "This thing is really good, such a difficult and hard-to-handle thing can be stewed so fragrant..." He Axiu comfortingly said: "My daughter just has a way..."

  Shen Sisi smiled awkwardly, fearing that He Axiu would ask her where she had picked it, and hastily changed the subject. "This sauce is not bad, I made it not too spicy, but eating it is also very enjoyable, right? Dad..."

  Zhong Gensheng sipped his wine and smiled: "Yes, it's a perfect match for drinking."

  Shen Sisi smiled and said: "The braising liquid in the pot is left over, later it can be used to cook braised meat, which goes perfectly with wine..."

  Zhong Gen Sheng smiled and said, "It's already a blessing to occasionally drink some wine and eat some meat. How can we eat meat and drink every day? However, that sauce is really good. Keeping it for the New Year to stew some meat wouldn't be bad either..."

  Shen Sisi smiled, but didn't refute. From then on, life would only get better and better. Having a drink and eating some meat was absolutely nothing to worry about. If they couldn't even afford that, then it wasn't worth living.

  In the evening, as usual, Shen Si wrote down the words she needed to recognize today and continued to enter the space to plant vegetables, read books, and watch the lotus root grow bigger every day, her mood became extremely good.

  Thinking about the days ahead, planning every step of the way, she felt that life in ancient times was really good.

  After coming out of the space, the three brothers were still practicing calligraphy diligently. She didn't disturb them and was preparing to go back to her room to sleep first, but she heard a loud noise in the courtyard and jumped in fright, saying: "What's that sound?!"

  Dabao had already run out, and all that could be seen was a black shadow rushing over to him. The shadow tried to run away in a hurry but was caught by Dabao and pinned to the ground. "You little thief, how dare you sneak into our house to steal things?!"

  That young man had not eaten for three meals, and was so hungry that he was dizzy and his eyes were blurred. He didn't have the strength to resist, and soon fell to the ground in a heap, really pitiful. Pitiful him, following them all the way, carefully avoiding them, until they arrived at the entrance of the Zhong family's house, but not wanting to go back, and yet unable to return to the county town. He was regretful for having followed them, as entering the city would cost a penny, where could he get it from?! He used to be the leader of that group of little beggars, and the officials in the county town had long been worried about him. Now that he had left the city, it can be imagined that he wouldn't be allowed back in again!

  On top of being beaten up yesterday and losing face among that group of little beggars, he resented them for abandoning him and escaping. In a fit of rage, he ran over to take revenge, but who knew it would end up like this? Starving to the point of dizziness, at noon he smelled the aroma of pork lung soup, and in the evening his stomach growled as he smelled the astonishing meat aroma from the courtyard. Just when he finally managed to hold on until evening and was about to sneak over to steal the leftover pig head meat that had been placed in the well, he didn't expect that they hadn't gone to sleep yet, and thus he was caught with such bad luck. The young man was so regretful that he almost fainted...

  Zhong Gensheng also rushed out in his nightclothes, having been fast asleep. He was startled by the noise and thought it was that Li Erdou coming to cause trouble again. After hearing Dabao shout "Little thief!", he became a bit tense and hastily asked: "What's going on?! Dabao...!"
