The beef and mutton are also divided and stacked well.

There are not only common dishes such as peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and beans, but also broccoli, snow peas, cabbage, etc. that are not available now. Each dish weighs fifty pounds.

The fruits are also very complete, with categories from various seasons and origins, including strawberries, cherries, apples, peaches, pineapples, oranges, watermelons, bananas, cantaloupe, etc.

In terms of quantity, each type weighs fifty kilograms.

In addition, it is seasoning with grains and oils.

Even snacks such as bread, candy, potato chips, and nuts are available in large quantities.

After reading this list, Gu Xia was amazed again and felt that she could open a supermarket.

Moreover, it’s no problem to prepare a full banquet for the whole family!
It's a pity that reality doesn't allow it. If she really does it, she can't explain where these meats and vegetables come from.

However, it can still be fooled by just making braised pork ribs and some stir-fries.

Now in the autumn of 1980, the policy has changed. You can buy pork without a ticket, and you can buy it with a little extra money. There is also a person selling vegetables in the town, so you don’t have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it.

Gu Xia thought about it, so she said she rode her bicycle to the town to buy meat and vegetables.

She had money in her hands, and she would buy it when she was hungry for meat in the past, so it could be explained by what she said.

Gu Xia asked the system to store her gift bag. She only took out ten pounds of ribs, eggplants, cucumbers, and peppers, and some candies for the children.

There was too little time, and there were only two pots at home, so she couldn't make two stews. It would take up too much space.

Gu Xia adjusted the lunch menu.

For cold dishes, make salad with onions, add steamed eggplant, stir-fry with amaranth and eggs, shredded potatoes in vinegar, stir-fry chili and cucumber, and stew with braised pork ribs.

There are many people in the family, and ten pounds of ribs are not enough to eat open, but it can satisfy the craving.

With so many ribs, we can only stew them in a large iron pot.

The ribs need to be simmered for at least four to 10 minutes. Gu Xia doesn't know if it's too late. Maybe her mother-in-law and the others will be back soon.

Gu Xia speeded up, washed and cut the eggplant into strips, and steamed it on the grate in the large iron pot. When the rice was ready, the eggplant was also steamed through.

After scooping out the rice and the eggplant on top, she began to stew the ribs.

For fresh ribs, just wash them with clean water and soak them in the blood. There is no need to blanch them.

Pour in the oil and rock sugar, stir-fry the sugar and then add the pork ribs. After the oil is released, the meat flavor will come out.

Then add water, add aniseed and start stewing.After stewing the ribs, Gu Xia went to work on other dishes. She cut and prepared all the vegetables first, and prepared the cold dishes first. The three stir-fry dishes were stir-fried in a small pot on the coal stove. Each dish only took three to five minutes. Around, it takes no time.

You can wait until your mother-in-law and others come back before frying, so as not to let them cool down after frying.

After Gu Xia prepared the dishes, she saw that her mother-in-law and the others hadn't come back yet, so she didn't care about adding firewood to stew the ribs, so she wanted to take advantage of this free time to do laundry.

But because of Ye Jialei's diligence, he finished washing the dirty clothes last night.

Gu Xia could only clean the pig pen.

There was an old sow feeding in the pigsty at home. She had been raising it for almost a year. She was now pregnant with a piglet. She vaguely remembered hearing her mother-in-law say that she would almost give birth in half a month.

Therefore, the sow in the family is now also the focus of care.

It is best to keep the pig pen clean and dry, and the sow’s food should also be nutritious.

Gu Xia didn't know how to raise pigs. She used to dislike the smell of the pig pen and wouldn't get close to it. She often heard her mother-in-law talking about it, so she kept these two points in mind.

Entering the pig pen for the first time and getting close to the big sow, Gu Xia was still a little scared.

One is that she is afraid that the sow will attack her, and the other is that she is afraid that she will frighten the sow and scare it into miscarriage, which will be a sin for her.

Gu Xia didn't know whether the sow would become grumpy after pregnancy. She blamed the pig because she had a grumpy temper when she was pregnant, annoying everyone, and she didn't want Ye Jialei to get close to her.

Gu Xia entered the pig pen, looked at each other for a while, thought about it, took out some cucumbers and tomatoes from the system, and slowly handed them to the sow.

It's always right to give it something delicious.

If her mother-in-law and the others saw her feeding pigs and eating these things, they would definitely say that she had ruined her family and no one had anything to eat, yet she was still feeding pigs.

Seeing the sow humming and eating happily, Gu Xia felt relieved and started cleaning the pig pen.

The pigsty is not that dirty. My mother-in-law and the others clean it every day. Today they went to cut wheat and the sow's feces were not cleaned in the morning.

Gu Xia held her breath and shoveled out all the feces. She still needed more time to get used to the smell.

Then Gu Xia took some dry wheat straw and made a new nest for the pig, letting it lie in the new nest. She took out the old and dirty wheat straw.

After doing this, Gu Xia couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes when he heard the system prompting that 10 points had been received, as if the smell of the pig pen was gone.

It just seemed that it still smelled bad. Gu Xia felt that she also smelled bad and was covered in sweat.

She quickly washed up, went back to the house and changed some clothes, then went back to the kitchen to see if the ribs were cooked through.

Gu Xia opened the lid of the cauldron, and the smell of meat came out. Gu Xia took a deep breath and felt like her mouth was watering.

It smells so good!It smells so good!
She picked up a piece of ribs and tasted it. She was stunned for a moment, and then she wolfed down the whole piece of ribs.

It's really delicious!

It was so delicious that she almost bit her tongue off.

Gu Xia looked at this pot of ribs with some surprise, thinking why it was so delicious. It was more delicious than the ribs she had eaten in her previous life.

Gu Xia thought that the ribs were probably provided by the system, which is why they stewed so fragrantly.

Gu Xia swallowed, resisted the urge to eat another piece, put the lid aside, added a handful of firewood, and turned up the heat to absorb the juice.
