Siheyuan: Survival in the cellar at the beginning, don’t mess with me

If it's because of transportation problems.

As a result, the delivery of family letters and salary was delayed for several days, and Chen Luoqing would stay up all night, thinking about Chen Xi's safety.

"I finally came back, so don't look sad." Chen Xi smiled warmly and raised the five kilograms of pork in his hand. "Look at what good things I brought you. There is enough oil and water for today's meal."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing Brother Xi returning safely, Chen Luoqing's heart was completely relieved.

As long as she can return safe and sound, everything will be fine. She is now in the first semester of her senior year of high school. It only takes half a year for her to graduate from high school with her excellent academic performance.

In the future, whether it is to enter college or be directly assigned a job, it will be a simple matter.

By the time.

She can also contribute to the family.

Instead of being like Brother Xi's "drag oil bottle", it can only be a waste of money.

"Today I will cook for you once, to give you a taste of the techniques I learned from the army. A braised pork dish is guaranteed to make you eat it all up."

Chen Xi walked directly into the house and closed the door with his backhand.

In this era, many people don't even have enough food to eat, let alone eat meat. Therefore, eating meat is a matter of 'provoking hatred'. Generally, it is not an important day, so people have to hide in the house and eat secretly.

Chen Xi didn't want to have anything to do with the other people in the courtyard, nor did he want to be reported.

Although the source of his meat can be explained clearly, it is still a bit troublesome and disturbs his peaceful life.

In this regard.

Chen Luoqing naturally knew it in her heart.

She still has more than 2000 yuan sent back by Brother Xi, but she has been saving money in the past two years and has not spent it randomly. She plans to pay it all back after Brother Xi comes back.

Of course, the other reason is also because Chen Xi mentioned in his letter home that "wealth should not be exposed".

If you let others know that you are rich, there will be a lot of bullshit and things like borrowing money will be unavoidable. Moreover, the gang of white-eyed wolves in the Jia family will never show mercy. Only Chen Luoqing is the one. As a human being, it's really hard to deal with those shameless guys.

The total is 2380 yuan, plus food stamps, meat stamps and the like.

Chen Luoqing spent a total of 180 yuan in two years, an average of 7.5 yuan a month. The food is better than that of ordinary families. Of course, it is still far behind to achieve the freedom to eat meat. One-third of refined grains, plus another three-thirds The second kind of whole grains will at least not make you hungry.

Chapter 13 Delicious Braised Pork!Incredible knife skills!

"Braised pork is a famous popular dish."

"Each major Chinese cuisine has its own distinctive braised pork."

"It uses pork belly as the main ingredient. It is best to use pork belly with alternating fat and thin. The pot is mainly casserole. The meat produced is fat and lean, sweet and soft, rich in nutrients, and melts in your mouth."

"........"

Five pounds of pork was placed on the cutting board, and the valuable handbag was placed in the old wooden cabinet.

There is a delicate small lock on the handbag, and it is also wrapped in an iron sheet. It is not light in weight. It is not easy to open it without a key.

Inside the old wooden cabinet.

There were also some food stamps, meat stamps, and 2200 yuan in cash.

The 10000 yuan in cash and the remaining military coupons worth 2996 yuan in the handbag were all received by Chen Xi in his storage space and placed together with the 'high-quality flat peach' presented by the little white ape, which was considered the safest. place.

Just take it out when you need to use it. You don't need so much in normal life.

As for the remaining cash, food stamps, and meat stamps.

Then treat it as funds for daily living expenses and just put it here.

"call--"

Chen Xi took off his thick military coat.

He slowly exhaled a hot breath.

Although it is now the cold winter season of November, and the geographical location of Sijiu City is in the north, the weather has already entered subzero temperatures. Ordinary people would shiver with cold even if they were wearing two or three pieces of clothing. Chen Xi, who was wearing a coat, only had a thin summer military uniform on him.

However, after being injected with the 'Perfect Gene Enhancement Fluid' and practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art to the second level.

Even wearing thin clothes, Chen Xi was still in high spirits.

Then, Chen Xi walked to the stove, holding a kitchen knife in one hand, showing off a knife, and cut off two kilograms of good pork with a 'snap' sound.

"Well, it should be about the same if you have a piece like this for lunch."

"It's a pity that I don't have enough ingredients at home, so I can only make a simple version of braised pork."

"Fortunately, my cooking skills are excellent, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle it."

"......"

Chen Xi murmured to himself.

The most common braised pork dish requires a lot of ingredients.

Pork belly with skin, sugar, light soy sauce, seasoning wine, star anise, green onions, garlic, ginger, dark soy sauce, bay leaves, salt, MSG.

However, Chen Xi rummaged through all the seasonings at home and found that apart from the five kilograms of pork he bought, there were only a small bag of sugar, half a bottle of soy sauce, a small bag of salt, and a small bottle of oil. As for other seasonings, there were not many. Just not prepared.

to be frank.

This condition is placed in this era.

All are considered pretty good.

Many families don’t even have half of Chen Xi’s seasonings.

Being able to have a full meal is already a matter of gratitude. As for the issue of eating well, that will naturally come later.

"Let's do it! Let's do it!"

"Da da da--"

The kitchen knife and the chopping board collided continuously, making crisp sounds.

With his extraordinary physical fitness and "Cooking Skills (D)", Chen Xi showed off his miraculous knife skills. Two kilograms of pork was cut neatly in the blink of an eye, just like a beautiful piece of art. Appeared in front of Chen Xi and Chen Luoqing.

Don't look at Chen Xi's low level of cooking skills.

However, He Yuzhu, the chef at the steel rolling mill, is at the same level.

Level E is an ordinary chef, level D is an outstanding chef (He Yuzhu), level C is a chef level (He Daqing), level B is a state banquet level chef, level A is a world-class chef, and level S and above are beyond With the existence of common sense, you can even make 'luminous cuisine'.

Chen Xi's cooking level may not be high for the time being.

However, there are many factors that influence 'sword skills'. With his physique, strength, speed, and spirit far beyond ordinary people, his control in this aspect is perfect!

"So...so awesome?!"

Looking at Chen Xi's amazing knife skills.

Chen Luoqing, who was watching, couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

She originally thought that Brother Xi had been in the army for two years, and even if he learned some cooking skills, they were only at the level of a big pot meal. And her own cooking skills were not bad. Over the years, she relied on self-reliant learning to make -The food that came was just okay.

According to the grade evaluation, it is probably at the level of 'E'.

Originally, Chen Luoqing planned to take over this job, but after seeing Brother Xi's knife skills, he decided to take over the job.

This idea was abandoned instantly.

I have no choice but to show off my three-legged cat skills. It would be embarrassing to stand up, so I can only do some hands-on work.

Chapter 14: Increased cooking experience!Be careful of the beasts in the courtyard!

[Ding, successfully completed an ordinary braised pork dish, cooking experience +1]

[Cooking Skills (D): 1/100]

【.........】

The moment the braised pork was finished, a voice sounded in Chen Xi's ears.

Each time you complete a dish, your experience will increase a little. If you calculate it this way, you only need to make 99 more dishes to meet the upgrade conditions of the 'Cooking Skill' skill and reach the 'Master Chef Level'.

Even if it is placed in a large-scale factory such as a steel rolling mill.

Since He Daqing left, there has been no chef of this level who can help them cook.

[Ding, successfully completed an ordinary millet porridge, cooking experience +1]

[Cooking Skills (D): 2/100]

【……】

Chen Xi's movements in his hands did not stop.

Using millet, the only remaining coarse grain in the house, I cooked a pot of millet porridge. This was the most common coarse grain in households in the 60s.

Sprinkle some sugar on it to give it some sweetness, making it easier to eat.

The aroma of braised pork and the sweetness of millet porridge.

It spread throughout the house, making Chen Luoqing, who had not eaten meat for a long time, swallow a mouthful of saliva. Fortunately, Chen Xi closed the door in advance, otherwise the fragrance would spread. If you go out, you will definitely attract a bunch of people to watch.

There is no way, the attraction of meat in this era is really too strong.

Even if you can't eat it, looking at it can relieve your cravings.

As for some shameless beasts, they probably don't know what politeness is, and they will definitely stick to you shamelessly.

"Um-"

Chen Luoqing picked up a piece of braised pork with thick sauce and put it into his mouth.

A sweet taste suddenly filled the mouth.
