Chapter 520 Dried Pork

"I really have to leave in two days, I'm really reluctant." Zhao Shuangxi sighed, and He Lanshan was also sitting beside her, holding her face in her hands and not speaking.

Tomorrow must be another busy day. The day before leaving, the family will go back to Pingyang County to say goodbye to the elders of the two families. When they come back, they will bring He Qinzheng back. They will really go to the capital early in the morning. up.

Thinking about it this way, it really took a blink of an eye, He Lanshan was also very emotional, busy as if in a dream.

Although she hadn't said anything before, but now that she was sitting and thinking about it, she was a little confused about the days when she would go to the capital in the future.

"Forget it, it'll be fine when we get to the capital, let's go to sleep." Zhao Shuangxi gently put his hand on He Lanshan's little head and rubbed it, and when he got up, his eyes regained the determination to go to the capital.

He Lanshan also got up, and after the two came out of the house, they went back to their own rooms.

Early the next morning, the He family was bustling with activity.

After breakfast, Zhao Shuangxi, He Lanshan and Xiaokui were about to go out to buy vegetables. He Qinfeng, He Qinzheng and He Qinmao felt that they couldn't help with cooking, but it was okay to help with the food.

Zhao Shuangxi felt that there was really no need for so many people to go out together, so he let He Lanshan and Xiaokui stay at home, and it happened that if Mrs. Xu came, she could entertain them into the house first.

Sure enough, before Zhao Shuangxi went out to buy groceries, Mrs. Xu, wearing a white draped hat, knocked on the door.

He Lanshan and Xiaokui hurried to open the door, seeing that it was her, they quickly greeted her with a smile.

"My mother and brothers went out to buy groceries, but they haven't come back yet." He Lanshan was talking, and saw that Mrs. Xu was still holding wine.

Mrs. Xu went into the room and took off her veiled hat, chatted cheerfully with He Lanshan, and then heard Zhao Shuangxi and several children coming back from outside.

He Lanshan and Mrs. Xu rushed out to greet her, and saw that the basket behind Zhao Shuangxi was full, and the children were also carrying many things in their hands.

"Why did you buy so much?" Mrs. Xu quickly went to help Zhao Shuangxi unload the basket, and saw a lot of meat and vegetables inside.

"There are a lot of people eating tonight, so don't cook more." Zhao Shuangxi smiled and put the basket into the kitchen. came in.

"They're all alive." Mrs. Xu glanced at the fish and shrimp that were still alive and kicking, and then rolled up her sleeves to prepare to work together.

There are so many dishes to cook at home today, and Zhao Shuangxi would be embarrassed to start busy as soon as she came, but today is different, she didn't stop her, rolled up her sleeves and started busy with a smile.

He Qinfeng, He Qinzheng, and He Qinmao came out of the stove and went to do other things, feeding the horses, chopping firewood, and carrying water.

He Lanshan and Xiaokui went into the kitchen to get busy.

Although He Lanshan didn't stop, she didn't help Zhao Shuangxi and Xu's cooking today. Instead, she took some lean pork, cleaned it, chopped it finely, marinated it and put it aside.

Although Xu Shi and Zhao Shuangxi looked at her curiously, they didn't ask any further questions, but turned their heads and went about their work.

After He Lanshan marinated the pig's head, she asked Xiaokui to start a fire in the stove, and only put in a little firewood at a time to keep the fire weak.

She was going to make some pork jerky, so she spread out the finely minced pork and carefully fried it on the pan.

After a while, the aroma of real pork came from the stove, He Lanshan quickly took out a large piece of fried pork, and then fried the next piece.

Let the pork jerky cool slightly, and He Lanshan cuts it into small pieces with a clean knife, and then puts it aside to cool.

He Lanshan prepared a lot of pork jerky in one go, and then gave Zhao Shuangxi, Xu Shi, and Xiaokui a piece each to let them know how it tasted.

Zhao Shuangxi and Xiaokui praised the deliciousness one after another, and Xu Shi nodded unconsciously. After eating more than half of it, Xu couldn't help asking, "Lanshan, this is delicious, but it's a bit too chewy. Now, it will take a long time to eat a piece of this."

"The chewiness is what you eat." He Lanshan explained with a smile, "I named this pork jerky. It's the same as dried fruit. It's actually a snack for grinding your teeth."

"But it's made of pork, so it's stronger and more delicious than ordinary snacks." He Lanshan said, cutting the last fried pork jerky into small pieces that were easy to handle.

The preserved pork was enough to make a bamboo dustpan full. She asked Xiaokui to bring it in oiled paper and told her to wrap it up according to the amount. The rest can be eaten as a snack for everyone to chat at night.

Her plan was to bring Xu and Lu Xiangnan a bag home at night, and then she would take the rest with her, so that the family could eat for many days on the road.

"Xiao Kui, you deal with that." He Lanshan felt that only dried pork was not enough. She looked up and saw Zhao Shuangxi bought a lot of fresh big squid, and then remembered the delicious dried squid, so she hurriedly let Xiao Kui go It's all done.

"Mom, I've used all these. I'll go find my elder brother and buy some outside." He Lanshan ran out after speaking, and soon He Qinfeng took the money and went out.

Zhao Shuangxi and Mrs. Xu ate some more dried pork before continuing to pick vegetables.

Xiaokui cleaned the squid, washed it and put it on a plate for He Lanshan. He Lanshan used the prepared spicy sauce to make the squid into spicy grilled squid.

After He Lanshan finished these two things, Zhao Shuangxi and Xu Shi also started to make those difficult and time-consuming meat dishes such as sauced pig's trotters, pork knuckles and beef.

He Lanshan saw that it was still early, and thought that her Xu family and Lu Xiangnan had never had the honor to eat the snowflake chicken nao and peony fish fillets that she made, so she decided to cook these two dishes that only she could cook, and it was time-consuming and laborious.

The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong in the kitchen rang from morning to afternoon, and everyone was hungry in the middle, so they ate some simple food casually.

After the application time passed, a table of sumptuous dishes was finally ready. Zhao Shuangxi straightened up, thumped his back and smiled, "It's finally ready."

"Today, I asked Xiao Wu and his father to come back early, and they should be able to come later." Xu looked up at the time.

When Zhao Shuangxi sat down and was thinking whether to let He Jinyi go to Zhao's house to have a look, there was a knock on the door, and she hurried out.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Xiangnan's smiling face with bright eyes and bright teeth was exposed through the crack of the door, holding Brother Deng in his arms.

"Come in, come in." Zhao Shuangxi happily opened the door wide open, inviting her to come in, and even raised his hand to touch Brother Deng's face.

As soon as he entered the yard, Lu Xiangnan put Brother Deng down, and He Qinfeng and Qin Mao found Brother Deng cute when they saw him, so they all came up to tease him.
