I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 347 Waiting for your brother to come back...

 Wei Lan saw that Granny Gu and Zhang Xiaokui were chatting enthusiastically, so she didn't interrupt the two of them. She just picked up the bag of things on the table and waved to You Lan to follow her to the kitchen.

There are two cloth bags in the net bag. One of the cloth bags contains a two-inch-wide piece of pork belly. It is fat and thin and weighs about two kilograms.

The moment Wei Lan took out the meat, he and You Lan immediately made the same move.

  — Swallow saliva.

Youlan looked at the knife with longing eyes, pursed her lips, and her eyes were filled with longing.

Wei Lan felt distressed and tapped her nose: "When your brother comes back, let's go buy some meat too."

You Lan nodded obediently and followed Wei Lan's instructions to fetch water.

Wei Lan opened another cloth bag and found that there were many small parcels wrapped in oil paper.

 Open one at random and take a look. It turns out to be star anise leaves and other spices used in making pork elbow sauce.

 “It’s really all prepared.” Wei Lan murmured in a low voice, then went to Zhang Xiaokui to ask how to eat the meat Yanyi he bought.

Zhang Xiaokui was helping to shovel the snow in the front yard. He moved quickly and cleared a clearing in a short time. Unlike Wei Lan, who worked for a long time and only shoveled the surface layer.

Zhang Xiaokui wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered with a shovel: "Deputy Bureau Yan said that he wanted to eat braised pork today. He could only eat the next portion. He said that the rest was a thank you to Wei Zhiqing and was left to Wei Zhiqing and Gu's grandma. , little girl, let’s eat together.”

Wei Lan had an idea in her mind, so she replied "I know", turned back to the kitchen, took the nearly two kilograms of meat to the well, cleaned it, and cut it into even-inch-wide pieces.

Wei Lan pulled a handful of green onions in the backyard and asked You Lan to get some sugar from her house.

Stoking the water over a fire, Wei Lan cut a piece of fat skin into small cubes and cooked it in oil.

 The lard is fragrant. When enough oil is boiled out from the bottom of the pot, take out the oil residue and put it into a bowl. Sprinkle a little salt and mix well.

Wei Lan handed the bowl to Youlan, "Eat it."

 Wei Lan took advantage of the situation and put the onion and **** into the pot and stir-fried until the aroma came out.

From the corner of his eye, he saw You Lan holding the bowl without making any movement. Wei Lan asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

"This is the meat bought by the deputy director. My brother said before that I can't ask for the deputy director's things."

 Brother said that if they took something belonging to the director, the director would take Sister Lan away.

You Lan thought for a while and added, "My brother said that Sister Lan is not allowed to have it, otherwise he will be angry."

Wei Lan was amused by her serious look, "When did your brother say this? Why didn't I know?"

“That day when it snowed heavily and we left.” You Lan paused and thought carefully about what Wei Lan was doing at that time, “Sister Lan was busy loading clothes for her brother.”

Wei Lan was startled for a moment. The water on the scallions in the pot made an explosive sound when it hit the hot oil, and she regained her consciousness.

 So it turns out that Gu Chao was sometimes petty?

Wei Lan’s pink lips pursed slightly, and her eyes were full of gentle smiles.

 She took the bowl from Youlan's hand and put it on the stove, "Then we don't want it. We'll send it to Deputy Bureau Yan later."

“Hmm!” Youlan nodded excitedly and sat back at the door of the stove to light the fire.

Wei Lan poured the blanched meat into the pot and stir-fried until the aroma of the meat wafted out. She added a tablespoon of rice wine and soy sauce to the pot, and poured three tablespoons of sugar from the clay pot into the pot.

Add water to the pot to cover the meat and let You Lan bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Wei Lan rummaged through the cabinets and finally found a jar that was not much bigger than the sugar jar on the stove, washed it and set it aside. I only have one lunch box at home, which can’t hold so much meat.

Zhang Xiaokui only brought the ingredients, not the packaging.

Wei Lan weighed the small jar in his hand and felt that the size was just right.

Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for about half an hour until the soup is thick, the meat is caramel color, and the fat part is soft and translucent.

Wei Lan estimated that it was almost done, picked up a piece with chopsticks, blew on it, and handed it to You Lan's mouth.

You Lan swallowed her saliva. Even though she was very greedy, she still remembered Gu Chao's instructions in her heart.

Wei Lan said with a smile: "I'm just helping you taste it. If it doesn't taste good, Deputy Yan will be angry and cause trouble at home."

“Then, let me try it!” Youlan struggled a bit, opened her mouth and took the piece of braised pork into her mouth in one gulp.

 The fat meat is so soft that it melts in your mouth, and the sauce is thick and has a faint sweetness. It is so delicious that you want to swallow it.

You Lan has never eaten such delicious meat. After one bite of meat, her mouth immediately secreted more saliva.

 Good, delicious, I want to eat it again!

You Lan glanced in the direction of the pot with a frown and thought: When will my brother come back? Eat another piece of meat and let my brother follow that director? Don't take Sister Lan away.

Wanting to think about it, You Lan took a sip of saliva, covered her mouth and ran out of the kitchen quickly.

Wei Lan stretched her neck from behind and said, "How are you, You Lan? How does it taste?"

I thought I would not get a reply, but after a while, I heard a vague "Yummy!" from the little girl in front of me!

Wei Lan felt relieved, wiped off the water in the clay pot, and started filling the braised pork into it. Not to mention leaving a portion for Grandma Gu and Youlan to eat, she didn't even leave any soup.

Even if Youlan didn't say what Gu Chao said just now, Wei Lan knew in his heart that he couldn't take anything from Yanyi.

 Unexpected events are hard to guard against, and it is understandable that the circumstances are unclear, but in other matters, no matter how small, she must stick to the attitude she had at the beginning.

 Since no response can be given, it is best to give him no hope at all.

 In this way, maybe he will not be in so much pain.

Wei Lan sealed the jar and moved it to the table in the front room, then turned around to get the peanuts and broad beans that had been fried in the morning.

The car stopped at the small square of the brigade. The outside of the can was relatively hot. Zhang Xiaokui was carrying it in front, and Wei Lan was following behind with a bag of peanuts.

Arrived at the small square, watching Zhang Xiaokui put away the braised pork, Wei Lan handed over the peanut bag, "These are the peanuts that Deputy Director Yan said he wanted to eat."

"Okay, thank you Wei Zhiqing!" Zhang Xiaokui took the things and put them in the car, and then he got into the driver's seat. He waited for a long time and saw Wei Lan standing outside the car, looking at him, and he was confused.

Zhang Xiaokui lowered the car window and stuck his head out: "Why doesn't Wei Zhiqing get in the car?"

Wei Lan was waiting for Zhang Xiaokui to come over. When she heard this sentence, she frowned slightly and doubts flashed across her face. After a moment of reaction, she smiled dryly and explained: "I won't go. There is snow on the road and it is difficult to walk. You can save it and send it to me later.”

"By the way, the jar is filled with braised pork. I'm afraid that Deputy Yan will not make rice because he is anxious. When you go to the county hospital later, go to the canteen to buy a portion of rice and then give it to Deputy Yan." Wei Lan He backed away as he spoke, determined not to let go.

Seeing that people were about to get into the alley, Zhang Xiaokui grimaced and hurriedly opened the car door, "Here, Wei Zhiqing, Deputy Director Yan said he wants to see you. If you don't go, I, I won't be able to do the job!"

Wei Lan suddenly stopped walking, and her shoes kicked the layer of snow far away from her feet.
