Chapter 259: Teaching Sister-in-law to Make Braised Pork

He Erzhu was able to get out of bed, but he had to use a cane to walk because one of his legs was powerless.

Ever since Wang Cui'e came into the family, Grandma He has rarely done housework. Now that Wang Cui'e is not around and her son's legs are not in good condition, all the heavy work at home falls on her.

After all, she is old. It hasn't been long since she started to live, but Mrs. He can't bear it anymore. She looks older and shabbier.

"Damn Wang Cui'e, it's all her fault. She's a jinx. I'll kill her if I get the chance."

Old Mrs. He blamed all the misfortunes on Wang Cui'e.

He Erzhu shrank back, a trace of fear flashing through his heart.

"Mom, don't do that. That woman is a lunatic now. She will kill someone."

The sound of sharpening a knife seemed to come to his mind again, and the sound was like it was grinding on the tip of his heart.

I thought of the shining blade again, as if the next blow would cut my fingers.

It's no wonder that He Erzhu is so afraid of Wang Cui'e now. In order to force him to divorce, Wang Cui'e sharpened the knife at his bedside all day long. The sound left a trauma in his heart. Whenever Wang Cui'e was mentioned, that voice would ring in his ears.

And her extremely miserable face, like a ghost, holding a knife, rushing towards him, wanting to take his life.

When he said this, Old Lady He also shuddered, as if she saw Wang Cui'e's bloodshot eyes, which were as if she wanted to eat her flesh.

That woman is really crazy.

She couldn't beat her.

"But mother is old. If you are like this now, there will be no one to do the housework. How can we prepare for the autumn harvest? How are we going to live in the future? My poor son."

Old Mrs. He was crying and snotting, and she felt pain all over her body when she moved a little.

Her family did not pay for the waterwheel, and no one dug a canal on her land. Now she has to fetch water from the river for irrigation, and her old bones are about to fall apart at the end of the day.

Seeing his mother like this, He Erzhu felt very annoyed. He also knew that his mother was tired in the past few days.

"Mom, are you stupid? You have to run to the river to fetch water. You can dig a hole next to the canal in Uncle Six's field, and the water can flow to our field. You can also go to his canal to fetch water to irrigate the field, and you won't have to walk so far."

He couldn't help his mother, and even if he could, he wouldn't want to fetch water to irrigate the fields. His sixth uncle's land was closest to his, so he could go and water the fields secretly at night and no one would notice.

"Why didn't I think of that! Mom, my son is really smart. I will go tonight."

Old Mrs. He also slapped her forehead and secretly felt that her son was the smartest.

"Well, although watering the fields can be solved, there will be a lot of work to do in the future. Son, you still need to find a wife."

Old Mrs. He became worried again, but given her family's reputation, which girl would be willing to marry her son?

It’s definitely not possible to go to a place nearby, and there’s no way to go to a place farther away, and she can’t run there either.

What's more, the family is really out of money and can't afford to marry a wife.

When He Erzhu heard this, he was slightly moved.

Damn it, he has been a bachelor for many days and he can’t live without a wife.

He inexplicably thought of a graceful figure, which made his heart tremble and his whole body feel hot.

"Mom, don't worry about this matter. I will give you a daughter-in-law."

She escaped last time, but she will definitely not be able to escape from his grasp this time.

He Erzhu was very confident. He had tried to test the girl several times and found she was not a hot-tempered person and would be easy to win over.

What's more, she is as beautiful as a flower, much more beautiful than Wang Cui'e. Even the pretty widow in Wanggang Village cannot compare to her.

I just heard that He Xiliang also liked her, and the two families were preparing to arrange a marriage.

He still has a chance since he hasn't been officially hired yet.

Su Wanwan naturally didn't care about these things in the village. It was already August and the weather was getting cooler. She made another big pot of braised meat today.

Two days ago, Miss Lin came again with her people to buy her braised meat.

The seasonings of this era were simple, and meat was almost just boiled in plain water, and at most some onion, ginger, and salt would be added to consider it good.

There is really no such thing as braised food.

But Su Wanwan didn't want to do this business.

It was too troublesome to deal with, so after thinking about it, she called her sister-in-law Zhao Yan over.

The eldest sister-in-law is a pretty good cook. She had always been the chef at previous weddings. At that time, she felt that in ancient times, being able to cook such dishes was considered a talent.

Zhao Yan thought that he was just here to help, so naturally he had nothing to say and ran over without hesitation.

Su Wanwan had already prepared the seasonings, several of which were found in the medicinal herbs of this era. The chili peppers were already red, and Su Wanwan had dried some chilies a while ago.

Things like peppers must be bred in the village. Fortunately, there are still many seeds in her space, so she uses the ones that have just been grown.

Crops in space grow fast. After this batch of crops is harvested, she will plant vegetables in space. When she can breed next year, she will have more vegetable seeds.

She taught Zhao Yan all the steps without reservation.

The main flavor of braised food is the flavor of spices, which include peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon and the like. The other ingredients are sugar and soy sauce. The ones from this era are also feasible and the taste is not bad.

Zhao Yan had eaten this kind of braised food before. Su Wanwan had asked her children to bring it to her. Now, seeing the steps of making it, she couldn't help but smack her lips. It was so laborious, no wonder it tasted so good.

Only after it was finished did Su Wanwan say that it would be sent to a restaurant in the county. Someone from the restaurant would come and pick it up directly, but she was going to leave this business to her.

The most important thing about this braised food is the marinade. Su Wanwan also reminded Zhao Yan to protect the marinade recipe well. All the big ingredients can be crushed so that others cannot tell the ingredients inside.

If she couldn't cook in time, she would ask other women in the village to cook together, but she had to keep the ingredients in her own hands.

There will be a long period of idleness after the autumn harvest and winter planting, and seed cultivation can only begin in the early spring of next year. It is also a good time to do this business.

When Zhao Yan heard that Su Wanwan was going to give her this business, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

There are people who come to buy it, so there is no need to worry about selling it, and they also give so many ideas.

"Wanwan, look, you've helped us so much, we don't know how to repay you."

Zhao Yan felt a little embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, we are a family. I am a lazy person. I prefer to use my brain rather than my hands. Even if I want to do it, Shen Yuan won't let me do it."

Su Wanwan didn't really take it seriously as a braised pork recipe.

This business is good, but it is really tiring.

She now has land and money, but she just wants to be a salted fish.

"You can't just give up everything. No, we'll give you some of the first year's profit from Shuimo. Wanwan, don't refuse. I know you don't need these things now, but this is also our intention."

Zhao Yan knew she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree. But of course she wouldn't feel comfortable with not giving anything.
