I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Cao Dongfang only rested for a few minutes before starting to make the braised pork. He also bought three large tomatoes from the system and simply mixed them with sugar, which was quite popular.

Take out a few apples and put them in the kitchen cupboard to eat later. As for southern fruits like strawberries and bananas, they are extremely rare in the market and you won’t be able to find them in one go.

Let's take it easy too.

The main purpose of eating apples is nutrition!

Cao Dongfang began to make the braised pork according to the system's intelligent number method, and blanched it after cutting.

Add sugar to the oil and simmer over low heat until the sugar turns red. Add the braised pork cubes into the pan, stir-fry, and dry-fry to remove moisture from the braised pork.

After five minutes, add seasoning and soy sauce, then pour in boiling water to cover the meat, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat after ten minutes.

The color is also good, and we also learned how to make braised pork, which uses more meat and oil!

When Cao Dongfang bought the meat from the system, he did not ask for fatty pork belly. They were all fat meat, which Cao Dongfang could not eat.

Cao Dongfang discovered in his memory that his mother also did not like to eat fatty meat. In the past, whenever there was fatty meat in the house, it was eaten by Cao Dashan, while the lean meat was enjoyed by Cao Dongfang and his mother.

The braised pork made by Cao Dongfang is also smaller than the large pieces of braised pork made by others. It is only 1 cm thick and 2 cm wide, which is not too big.

It’s a big piece of meat. I guess Cao’s mother and I would get tired of it after eating a few pieces.

Let’s have a cold tomato dish. Yesterday, there were two tomatoes on a plate, and they were eaten up without a single bite left. Even the soup was drunk by Cao Jiajia, the greedy little pig.

I wonder if that was Cao Dongfang's favorite in his previous life? It tastes better than drinks.

After everything is done, stir the braised pork in the pot, boil the water, and simmer for ten minutes. I can also learn.

Oh, and rice needs to be made too.

Washing rice is simple.

......

Cao Dongfang learned how to make braised pork at home. When Cao Dongfang started to fry the braised pork, the aroma kept floating in the sky, forming a line of big characters.

It smells so damn good!

It smells very good, and people in the front yard can smell it. These days, if a family is well-off, they can eat braised pork once a month. After a while, the fragrance will fade.

Cao Dongfang added boiling water and began to stew the braised pork. When the cold water boiled, the fragrance wafted around again, and this time even people in the middle and backyards could smell it!

What Cao Dongfang made was not the less oily 'braised pork stewed in clear sauce' of later generations, but the traditional method.

The fragrance is very strong!

......

"Whoever is making braised pork, why don't they send some to my house? My daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs some nourishment." Only the shameless Mrs. Jia could say this.

"What does your daughter-in-law's pregnancy have to do with someone else making braised pork? The child is not your son's, it belongs to the man who made the braised pork!

Your daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs nourishment, so you go buy meat to nourish her. No one is stopping you. Let others give it to you. Are you begging for food? "Aunt Zhao in the front yard said.

"That's right. She has money but doesn't buy meat herself. She wants to ask others for it. She's just like a beggar. She has no shame at all." Second Aunt also looked down on Jia Zhang.

"The fragrance seems to come from Cao's house. Could it be that Cao Dongfang came back from hunting and made braised pork? It seems that he has made a big harvest today." said the third aunt.

"I guess so. Dongfang left home at six in the morning today. If we calculate the time, he should be back around this time!

There are prey deep in the Daxi Mountain, but there are too many wild animals and many dead people. Cao Dongfang seems to have something. "The second aunt said.

"A child has fought in wars, so he won't be afraid of wild animals when he grows up. Hunting is dangerous." said Mrs. Sun in the front yard.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, Cao Dongfang is making braised pork, why don't you go to his house and take the pot home?

Give your daughter-in-law some tonic, don't eat it, or you'll get fatter. "Aunt Zhao from the front yard said sarcastically.

“Even if you are Jia Zhang, you can also rob Cao Dongfang’s braised pork, the reason is that your family is poor, you need to make up for it, and you also need to respect the elderly!

You are over 40, you are considered an old man, but it is a pity that your daughter-in-law is less than 40 years old. "Aunt Zhao in the front yard said sarcastically again.

Jia Zhangshi doesn’t dare!

"She is a shrew and she knows who she is. If she does that in front of Cao Dongfang, Cao Dongfang will beat her to death." said the second aunt.

Jia Zhang wanted to fight back but was pulled away by Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang had a way out and went back to the central courtyard without saying a word!

She didn't dare to snatch or ask for Cao Dongfang's things, because she knew Cao Dongfang would not give them to her.

She opened her mouth to curse Cao Dongfang, but then she remembered the horrific beating Cao Dongfang had given her that day, so she immediately shut up and went home in shame.

"Auntie, whose family is making braised pork? It smells so good." The deaf old lady asked Auntie.

This damn old woman is greedy again and wants to eat braised pork. Give me the money and I will buy it for you and make braised pork for you. The aunt thought.

Seeing that the aunt didn't reply, the deaf old lady said, "I'm old and poor, so I can't eat braised pork anymore."

Why are you selling old things and pretending to be poor? I know your background. If you want me to ask for braised pork, you are dreaming.

"The Cao family in the front yard." Auntie directly said it was the Cao family. This was just Auntie's guess.

"Cao family." The deaf old lady frowned and said nothing more.

"Brother Dongfang, I'm here." He Yushui ran in following the smell.

She smelled the braised pork being cooked in the front yard and knew Cao Dongfang was back, so she ran over.

.......

“The rain has come, it’s all right, you can play for a while, or study, the meat has just been cooked.

Have an apple first." Cao Dongfang took out an apple from the kitchen cabinet and gave it to He Yushui.

"I don't want to eat it. Save it for Jiajia." He Yushui said, trying hard to suppress the desire to eat the apple.

"Also, you can eat this." Cao Dongfang handed the apple to He Yushui.

"Thank you, Brother Dongfang. Brother Dongfang, what time did you come back?" He Yushui asked.

"It's about three o'clock. We've been making the braised pork for half an hour. You had lunch there at noon. I saw the pot was washed and there are leftovers in the big bowl." Cao Dongfang asked.

"When eating here, it's hot in the summer, so you don't need to heat up the dishes and rice. Just add some boiling water to the rice. I used to eat this way." He Yushui said as a matter of course.

"You can cook in summer but not in winter. When school starts, I will teach you how to make a fire and heat up meals. You don't have to eat cold meals at home on Sundays. You also need to make a fire in your cabin." Cao Dongfang said.

"I will learn. It seems that after the third grade, students in school also make their own fire in winter. I also learned to cook and cook for Brother Dongfang and Aunt Cao." He Yushui said.

Sure enough, He Yushui didn't want to eat for free and wanted to exchange labor for food.

This is a good thing!

At least He Yushui is not an ungrateful person!

Different from Jia Zhang!

How did that Jia Zhang appear? Jia Dongxu is not bad, so why can't I see any trace of a 'human' in Jia Zhang?

“Yushui, you cook. You are too young and small. I will teach you how to cook when you are ten years old!

You are still a child, your father will send you money to pay for your living expenses, don't think too much, you are a child and you can't make my family poor. "Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Okay, brother Dongfang must teach me how to cook when I am ten years old. You can't lie to me." He Yushui said seriously.

"Why would I lie to you, a little brat? I'll teach you how to cook when you turn ten." Cao Dongfang said. "Was there anyone in the yard when you came?"

"There are people, both adults and children who are not working in the compound are here, attracted by the braised pork." He Yushui said.

"Are they all dog noses? Really smart." Cao Dongfang complained.

"That's right, even the deaf old lady in the middle courtyard could smell it!

I asked an old lady whose family was making the braised pork, and she said it was yours, so the deaf old lady didn't say anything. "He Yushui said.

"That damn old woman is greedy again. If she wants to eat braised pork, go buy it yourself. Annoy her!"

“That’s right, I used to think that the old lady and the deaf old lady were good people!

I didn’t expect that something happened in my family, one pretended to be ignorant, and the other spread rumors. I really didn’t expect that. “He Yushui is still holding a grudge.

She resented the old lady for spreading rumors, making it impossible for Shazhu and her to hold their heads up.

“It was an old lady who spread the rumor, but the real instigator was not the old lady. The old lady is just a pitiful person.

But there must be something hateful about pitiful people!

The aunt is just a woman who follows her husband wherever he goes. She is not a bad person by nature, but...

Forget it, you are still young, it has nothing to do with you, I can't do anything to them, a bunch of noobs!" Cao Dongfang said domineeringly.

"I don't quite understand. I will have less contact with old ladies and old men in the future!

I feel that my family's affairs are not a big deal, and can be resolved privately without a meeting of the whole hospital and without the aunt spreading rumors. "He Yushui said.

Hahahaha, He Yushui is so smart and has no selfish motives. The He family’s affairs are really not a big deal!

It’s just a matter of taking care of He Yushui. He Yushui is almost 8 years old, not too young, and only needs three meals.

So Cao Dongfang solved it quickly!

Just have no selfish motives!
