Having already decided to go into the mountains today and pretend to hunt in order to sell the rabbits in the space, Lin Donglai calmed down, took a bucket of spiritual spring water and left the space.

The sun is about to reach its zenith and it is almost noon. My sister will also be home from school and it is time to cook.

Lin Donglai took out a piece of fat and lean pork that he had bought before, cut it into evenly thick chunks, and planned to stew some braised pork for lunch. He hadn't eaten braised pork for a long time and missed it a lot.

Now that we have coal at home, cooking and boiling water are much more convenient than before when we burned firewood. We don’t have to light a fire every day and make smoke everywhere. The only inconvenience is that we have to put out the fire every night and turn it on again when needed.

The first thing to do after turning on the fire is to boil water. Drinking the spiritual spring water brought out from the space will not make the body easily tired. Lin Donglai and his sister have been drinking this water during this period.

While boiling water, he began to look for ingredients needed to make braised pork. After searching, he found that there was no other seasoning at home except salt, so he could not make braised pork.

However, such a small matter would not be difficult for Lin Donglai. Since he couldn't make braised pork, he could just fry the pork with salt.

After boiling the water, Lin Donglai started to work. He first spread the meat flat in the pot and turned it over in turn. The fat part quickly secreted oil under the high temperature. Soon the meat was fried until both sides were golden brown, and it smelled so delicious.

After all, this piece of meat weighs about one and a half pounds, and of course there is a lot of pork fried in the pan. Lin Donglai poured the oil into a bowl and planned to save it for later.

The pork of this era is indeed a good thing. It smells better than any meat Lin Donglai has ever smelled since he can remember.

After the lard was beaten, only the brown and attractive pieces of meat were left in the pot. Lin Donglai sprinkled some salt according to his experience, stir-fried it for a few times, and then added a little Lingquan water. At this time, the fire was on high and the pot instantly made a sizzling sound.

It opened in a few seconds, and the aroma of meat filled the air. Lin Donglai was so greedy that he couldn't help but pinch a piece with his bare hands and put it in his mouth. It was delicious! It was not mushy in the mouth, the lean meat was not dry, and the fat was not greasy.

Perhaps it was the sweetness of the spiritual spring water that seeped into the meat, and the meat had a salty and fragrant taste with a slight sweetness, it tasted so good!

The strong smell of meat kept wafting out from Lin Donglai's house, and soon it spread to every corner of the courtyard. Some people couldn't keep calm after smelling the meat.

At this time, the eldest aunt was cleaning the house at home. Because her husband usually had lunch at the factory before coming home, she and the deaf old lady would just have a simple meal at noon. Only when Yi Zhonghai was at home would he cook something delicious.

Maybe it was because I had to climb up and down to clean the windows today, but when I smelled the aroma of meat, I suddenly felt greedy and stood at the door, sniffing it.

Her stomach was growling with hunger, and her urge to eat meat had reached its limit at this moment. Without thinking twice, she fried a plate of meat that she had saved for dinner and ate half of it with porridge.

Not to mention Jia Zhang, she had been sitting on the kang for the whole morning, and it was almost noon before she sat down by the window to sew shoe soles, waiting for her daughter-in-law to come home and cook.

She had already smelled the strong aroma of meat, and knew that the person who could stew the meat at this time must be Lin Donglai, and her mouth began to spit dirty words:

"This little bastard is so vicious. He starts stewing meat as soon as it's time for dinner to lure my dog. How wicked!

There is meat to eat, but you don't even give us orphans and widows some. Eat as much as you can, or you'll die!"

At this time, the aunt should thank Lin Donglai. If his meat aroma was not so strong that it covered up the smell of meat in her own home, she would probably have been harassed by Jia Zhang at noon today.

Soon it was noon and the children finished school and ran home happily.

Although Banggeng's grades were not very good at school, he was the one who ran home the fastest after school because he just wanted to go home and find something to eat.

But there was nothing delicious at his house, so he had to wait until no one noticed him, and then take advantage of the time when Sha Zhu was not home from get off work to sneak into his house and steal some peanuts or something to eat.

It's because everyone else in the courtyard locked their doors, but he was the only one who didn't. He deserves it.

But today, as soon as he rushed into the yard, Bang Geng was attracted by the strong aroma of meat. He drooled at the smell and even forgot to go to Sha Zhu's house.

When she got home and looked at the table, there was nothing on it. She immediately walked towards Jia Zhang in tears and said, "Grandma, the meat smells so good. I'm hungry. I want to eat meat, too."

What you fear will come true. Jia Zhang was feeling depressed. When she heard her grandson's words, her face darkened: "It's not easy to eat meat. Wait for your mother to come back and ask her to borrow some. If not, ask her to buy some."

Jia Zhang thought about it and decided that she couldn't pay for the meat today, otherwise the kid from the Lin family would stew meat all day long. She would have to pay for the meat every time he stewed meat. How could she save money for her retirement?

Banggeng was a child after all. When he heard his grandmother's tone was different from usual and saw her vicious expression, he felt a little scared. He had no choice but to move a stool to the gate of the yard and sit there, pouting and waiting for Qin Huairu.

On the other hand, the Lin family is different. Due to changes in the family, Lin Dongyi has become more quiet. She usually goes to and from school quietly, so she returns home later than Banggeng.

As soon as she walked into the yard, she smelled the fragrant meat. She thought someone else was stewing meat, but she didn't expect to see the plate of meat on the dining table when she got home.

This was exactly what she wanted, and she couldn't help but cheer happily: "Great, such delicious meat turned out to be from our family, brother, you are such a good cook! It's amazing!"

Lin Donglai liked his sister's compliments the most. This little girl always had the ability to compliment him in a few words. He smiled and said, "Praise me more. I'll make you braised pork when I prepare the ingredients."

"Are you hungry? Why don't we eat first? I'll continue praising you when you're full."

The sister knew he was joking with her and was not annoyed. She quickly ran to get the bowl and chopsticks. At this time, Lin Donglai had already taken out a few steamed buns from the space. The brother and sister ate and chatted, and soon finished the whole plate of meat.

After dinner, the little girl was still diligent in cleaning the table and washing the dishes. After they were done, Lin Donglai asked his sister to sit at the table and said, "Dongyi, I have to go into the mountains to hunt this afternoon, so I might be home late. You should do your homework after school."

The little girl was about to get upset when she heard this, but Lin Donglai waved a few White Rabbit candies in front of her. When she learned that these were candies she had never eaten before, her attention was immediately drawn and she began to savor them carefully.

The Lin family's door was open, and Bang Geng, who was sitting by the gate, heard every word of the brother and sister's conversation. He was envious, jealous, and hateful, and thought that it would be great if he had a brother like this.

Lin Donglai packed up his machete, rope and traps as usual, put them into a sack and was about to go into the mountains. Unexpectedly, he saw Banggeng as soon as he went out, staring at his house thoughtfully, so he quickly told his sister to lock the door.

Afraid that this kid might have some bad ideas, I glared at him twice before leaving.

After going out, Lin Donglai did not stop, and finally reached the foot of the mountain by hurrying all the way. As it was almost afternoon, there were very few people picking wild vegetables along the way, and there were even fewer people at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Donglai climbed up the mountain with all his strength, but he didn't expect that a young man was hiding behind a tree at the foot of the mountain, staring at him...
