The reason why Xu Wantang chose such a large piece of pork belly was because she wanted to cook more dishes and prepare a portion for the guest house staff.
After all, they lent her the kitchen for free, so she had to thank them.
Finally, Xu Wantang weighed a few more eggs and five taels of rice, officially ending his large purchase at the grocery store.
On the way back to the guest house, Xu Wantang passed by a delicious roast chicken restaurant, bought another roast chicken, and took them back together.
Fortunately, both the grocery store and the roast chicken shop were in this area, otherwise her hand would have been ruined by such a thing.
After entering the guest house, Xu Wantang's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, but she didn't waste a moment, washed her hands and went straight to the kitchen to start preparing ingredients.
After she washed everything that needed to be washed, cut everything that needed to be cut, and cooked everything that needed to be cooked, she began to burn the pig hair on the pork belly.
Heat up the large iron pot, then place the skin of the pork belly against the steaming pot and drag the pork belly back and forth. A puff of smoke will rise from time to time where the pork skin and the iron pot are in contact. In an instant, The smell of burnt flesh filled the room.
It was almost burnt, and when the pork belly was turned over, there were hard, brown burnt marks all over the pork skin.
Xu Wantang put the pork into the water and began to wash it. Only by cleaning the traces on it would the cooked pork not smell fishy.
Cut the pork into long and thick slices one finger wide, put a little oil in the pot, add the sliced pork and fry until golden brown and take it out. The kitchen is filled with the aroma of pork and lard.
"It smells so good, I feel greedy just smelling it..."
At some point, the guest house staff stood at the door of the kitchen, swallowing hard.
Xu Wantang glanced at him, and poured the boiled and peeled eggs into the oil pan one after another, making a sizzling sound, and said with a smile, "Of course the oil from frying the pork belly will be fragrant! Don't be greedy, it will be done later. If you have a share, you should treat it as payment for using the kitchen.”
The staff were pleasantly surprised when they heard this. Although meat is not a very scarce food these days, due to the limited purchase and the high price, except for rich or expensive families who eat meat more frequently, ordinary families only If you are extremely greedy or during festivals, you will eat meat to satisfy your craving.
The staff at the guest house smiled heartily and said, "Really! It's such a great feeling! I'm just waiting for the meal!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but lick his lips and returned to his work happily.
Xu Wantang fried the eggs and green peppers into the shape of tiger skin and put them together with the pork belly for later use.
The ingredients are almost ready, and soon Sister Lin will go to the guest house during her lunch break to stew and stir-fry.
Xu Wantang simply packed herself up and set off to the radio station to find Sister Lin.
As soon as she stepped through the door of the radio station, she was grabbed by the collar with a strong force, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.
Due to the strength of the person behind her, Xu Wantang's front collar was tightly attached to her neck. As the person behind her dragged her, she felt a sense of suffocation that made it impossible for her to call out for help.
"What are you doing?!"
The uncle from the security department on duty at the door saw him and hurried over while scolding him.
The strength on the collar suddenly disappeared, and Xu Wantang gasped for air as if she had survived for the rest of her life. The physiological cough made her cheeks turn red, and the tears that flowed from her eyes due to suffocation wetted her eyelashes. She looked so pitiful.
The uncle from the security department of the radio station also ran to Xu Wantang and forcefully separated Xu Wantang from the violent people behind him. "What are you doing? If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
Only then did Xu Wantang regain his consciousness, panting heavily while looking at the people behind him.
The man was of medium height and very large, but that body was not like strong and stylish muscles like Lu Yunzheng, but fat that trembled when he moved.
In the early days of reform and opening up, people had just gone through difficult times, and few people were as fat as the person in front of me. This shows that this person usually eats a lot of oil and water.
He had dark skin and was looking at Xu Wantang with a provocative expression, which made his originally decent facial features appear even more distorted. "Don't call the police! I'm playing around with my sister, right? Xiaotang?" "
Standing next to him was a middle-aged woman who looked kind-faced and somewhat similar to Xu Wantang. When her uncle said that she wanted to call the police, she took an anxious step forward, as if she was afraid that her precious son would be taken away by the police. As if, he explained to the uncle from the security department, "The children are having fun, don't call the police. These two children have been like this since they were young, they love to make trouble!"
The uncle looked at the two people in front of him, and when he saw that the woman had a somewhat similar face to Xu Wantang, he relaxed his vigilance slightly, seeming to believe that they were related by blood.
Xu Wantang looked at his biological mother and brother coldly, feeling ironic.
This has been the case since she was a child. Every time her brother Xu Baoxiang bullied her, her parents would dismiss her as just a joke.
When she was a child, she didn't understand. She just felt that "playing" would make her unhappy. She didn't like "playing". Every time her brother hurt her because of "playing" with her, she couldn't help but cry. When she was young, she would be taught by her parents that she was pretentious and coquettish. On the contrary, her brother would be praised by his parents and told that he was awesome and would definitely not be bullied when he grew up.
Only when she grew up did she realize that joking can only be called joking if both people find it interesting. Her brother is one year older than her, fatter, taller, and stronger than her, so the two of them started to quarrel. , Xu Wantang has always suffered.
Keren is always strange. Maybe she was oppressed and ignored as a child. In her previous life, instead of staying away from her family of origin when she grew up, she seemed to have to gain the approval of her parents and prove that she was also very good. It seems that I tried my best to be kind to my mother's family, just to get the praise and attention that I missed when I was a child, but in the end I got nothing and only ended up with no one to collect the body.
After resurrecting his life, Xu Wantang understood a truth: value is not given by others, but created by oneself.
So she should please herself, not those who are keen to belittle her.
Such twisted family affection is no longer rare for her.
If it were Xu Wantang in the previous life, he would have endured the pain and helped his family to make amends, echoing what his brother and mother said, saying that he and his brother were joking.
But now Xu Wantang no longer wanted to please them. She met her uncle's concerned eyes and said softly, "Uncle, call the police for me. I'm not playing around with him. He is committing violence."
The uncle knew Xu Wantang, and Xu Wantang was an employee of his unit, so he naturally stood by her side. Hearing what Xu Wantang said, the uncle nodded repeatedly, "Okay! You and I go to the security department to prevent this person from doing anything again!"
It took Xu's mother and Xu Baoxiang a long time to realize what Xu Wantang had just said.
"Xu Wantang! What are you talking about?! Your brother just teased you, what about you? If you dare to call the police, I will not recognize you as my daughter!"
Xu's mother was frothing, pulling her neck and shouting to Xu Wantang.
