After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

The pork ribs with preserved plum sauce is quite simple, but people in this dynasty didn’t eat pork ribs very much.

Spare ribs are all lean meat, and there is not much meat, the main part is pork.

In Fengyuan, pork is eaten by ordinary people, while wealthy families mostly eat mutton and beef.

Because pigs are omnivores and are dirty and smelly, wealthy people do not like them.

In comparison, sheep and cattle are much better. Not only are they herbivores, they are also relatively clean.

Therefore, pork ribs were not sold in butcher shops in the past.

Jiang Wan bought five pounds of pork ribs and only spent ten cents, which shows how unpopular pork ribs are.

But the less popular it is, the lower the price, and the more money Jiang Wancai can make.

She asked Aunt Xie to prepare the spare ribs according to the same steps as for removing the fishy smell from chicken legs, and asked Juhua to get some seasonings such as preserved plums, rock sugar and star anise.

After blanching the ribs to remove the fishy smell, fry the sugar color first, then pour in the ribs and stir-fry. When the ribs are slightly browned, add the spices.

Finally, pour in enough water to cover the ribs, cover the pot and wait for the food to be ready.

While the cooking was going on, Xie Jing and the other children couldn't hold back any longer and gathered at the door like a group of chicks looking for food.

Jiang Wan waved them in and said, "Try the mouth-watering chicken made by Fourth Auntie and see if it tastes good."

Xie Jing was greedy and quick to pick up a piece of tender and juicy chicken.

As soon as I put it in my mouth, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Delicious!"

He ate the chicken in two or three bites, spat out the bones, and a light blush appeared on his cheeks. "It's just a little spicy."

Xie Xueling ate a piece, blinked and said, "It's not spicy, second brother, you are so weak."

Xie Jing was not convinced, so he picked up another piece of chicken covered in red oil sauce and ate it with gritted teeth, saying, "Hiss... not spicy!"

Jiang Wan and the others were amused by him.

Xiaohu and Xiaoliu ate without even raising their heads, and both said the food was delicious.

Not to mention Maodan, Datou and Ertou, the other little kids, their hands and mouths were covered with sauce from eating, looking so dirty.

Aunt Xie, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law also tasted it. Juhua's eyes lit up, "Mom, this chicken is so tender! I swallowed it without even taking a bite!"

Meihua nodded and said, "Not only is it tender, it's also fresh."

Fourth Aunt Xie said, "It is indeed delicious. It is all because of my niece-in-law's good teaching!"

She looked at Jiang Wan, her heart and eyes filled with gratitude and love.

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and said, "Not only did I teach well, Fourth Aunt also has a high level of understanding, otherwise my words would be useless."

Fourth Aunt Xie smiled even more happily, holding Jiang Wan's hand and not wanting to let go.

About an hour later, the pig's trotters were also stewed.

The tempting aroma of meat attracted Aunt Xie and her family to the kitchen.

As soon as Aunt Xie opened the pot, hot steam spread in the kitchen. At the same time, the shiny and fragrant pig's trotters in the pot appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Xie Jing and Xiaohu stretched their necks to look into the big iron pot, their eyes motionless.

Aunt Xie served the pig's trotters and picked up a piece for Jiang Wan first.

Jiang Wan lowered her head and took a bite. After savoring it carefully, she smiled and said, "It's delicious, soft, glutinous and chewy. Fourth Aunt, you did a great job."

The smile on Fourth Aunt Xie's face never faded. She chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to you, my niece-in-law!"

"Mom, I want to eat!"

Maodan was so anxious that he couldn't help but shout.

Big Head and Two Heads also shouted: "Grandma, we want to eat too!"

Xie Jing didn't care that he was six or seven years older than Datou and Ertou, and rushed to say, "Fourth Aunt, give me a bite!"

Xie Xueling laughed at him, "Second brother, are you ashamed? Why are you snatching food from Datou and Ertou?"

Xie Jing glared at her resentfully.

Can I still keep this sister?

Ever since Xueling became more lively, her little mouth has become just like Jiang Wan's, liking to tease others.

It’s all Jiang Wan’s fault for leading his well-behaved and lovely sister astray!

Thinking of this, Xie Jing wanted to glare at Jiang Wan, but he saw Jiang Wan's sad look, and his little brows frowned the next moment.

However, before he had time to think, the delicious pig's trotters were snatched up by Maodan, Xiaohu and several other boys.

Xie Jing realized it later and rushed forward to grab the pig's trotters.

Aunt Xie sent the little monkeys away and prepared two bowls of pig's trotters stewed with soybeans for Xie Xueling and Xiaoliu.

She said, "Your eldest sister-in-law said that this dish is good for girls' health. You should eat more. If you like it, Fourth Aunt will make it for you later."

Xie Xueling smiled sweetly at her, "Thank you, Fourth Aunt!"

Xiaoliu followed up and said, "Thank you, Fourth Aunt!"

The children all ate it and gave it positive reviews.

Aunt Xie and the other adults only tasted a little, and the rest were snatched away by the children.

After the last dish, pork ribs with preserved plums, came out of the pot, it was unanimously praised by everyone.

Xie Erzhu said: "I didn't expect that spareribs could be cooked so deliciously, but it's sour and sweet, and girls love it most."

Juhua snatched the remaining half of the ribs from his hand and said, "You're right, you shouldn't eat it, you old man!"

Xie Erzhu looked at his wife aggrievedly and was glared at by Juhua.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Fourth Aunt Xie was extremely satisfied. She looked around and found that Jiang Wan was not there, so she hurried out to look for him.

Jiang Wan sat under the eaves outside the main room, looking at the gorgeous sunset in the sky, wondering what she was thinking.

Fourth Aunt Xie walked over and asked with concern, "Niece-in-law, I see that you seem to be worried. Can you talk to me about it?"

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and said, "Aunt Four, I've been feeling uncomfortable all day. I can't tell where I'm feeling uncomfortable, but I just can't feel happy."

Fourth Aunt Xie held her thin shoulders and looked at her delicate profile. She was moved and asked tentatively, "Niece-in-law, are you...missing Xiaolan?"

Jiang Wan's ears were tinged with a light pink. She did not deny it, but asked, "Fourth Aunt, do you think Xie Lan will encounter any danger outside?"

"No, no." Fourth Aunt Xie patted her shoulder and comforted her, "You know Xiao Lan's skills, and I've also heard about the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. The escorts from their agency are all very skilled, and there has never been any report of them encountering danger on the way. So you don't have to worry too much."

Jiang Wan nodded slowly and said, "Yes, and I also gave Xie Lan something to defend himself, so he should be fine..."

Fourth Aunt Xie diverted her attention and said, "Stay at Fourth Aunt's house for dinner tonight. Fourth Aunt will try to make the three dishes for this afternoon. After all, practice makes perfect."

"it is good."

Jiang Wan's sadness faded a little and she smiled at Fourth Aunt Xie.

Fourth Aunt was right. The Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency had a great reputation, and Xie Lan was highly skilled in martial arts. With the powerful pills she gave him, he would definitely be safe.

Three days passed in a flash, and Xie Lan did not return as scheduled.

Not only Jiang Wan was anxious, but even Fourth Aunt Xie's family became anxious as well.

Because they were worried that Xie Lan might encounter danger outside, Fourth Aunt Xie and her family had no intention of opening a store in Luohe Town.

On the fourth day, Xie Lan still didn't go home.

Jiang Wan couldn't wait any longer, so she took the Xie Dazhu brothers to Pingyao County.

She wanted to go to the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency to find out.
