Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 85-How to Eat Braised Pork Rice
No, no, I also run a snack business. How can I not eat my own food and go eat someone else's food?
No, no, absolutely not!

Liu Mancang used all his strength to finally turn his head back, but before he could say anything, he felt someone stabbed his kidney.

When he turned around, he saw that it was his wife.

Yin Cui nudged her husband with her hand and whispered, "Old Liu, our buns will take a while to cook. I'm starving now. Why don't you go buy some pork elbows to cushion my hunger?"

Liu Mancang took a look at his wife's plump body that was so big that he couldn't hug her, and he really didn't know how the chest and back were pressed against each other.

However, the Liu family rules have been around since ancient times - what the wife says is always right. If the wife is wrong, please refer to the previous paragraph.

My wife has spoken, so of course I have to obey!

Licking his lips, he said, "Wife, I see there seems to be some beef tendon in Xiao Ma's bowl. That thing contains collagen all over the body, which is the most beautiful thing. How about I buy some for you?"

"Can it beautify you?"

When Yin Cui heard that it could improve her appearance, her eyes lit up immediately: "Then you have to get more. I have to suffer with you in the wind and sun every day, so I need to replenish my body."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Liu Mancang ran happily towards Wang Fan's RV, fearing that his wife would regret it if he arrived too late.

When he arrived in front of the RV, Liu Mancang first carefully looked at the price on the card. After all, this was a subsidiary of the tourism industry, and it would be very uncomfortable if he was ripped off by mistake.

“猪肘子40块1斤，60块一个。牛窝骨：40块1斤。牛蹄筋：60块一斤。”

Liu Mancang read the words on the sign in a low voice and confirmed that the units were all jin instead of liang. Only then did he feel relieved. If it was like those cut cakes back then, where one cut cost hundreds of dollars, then he would have to use force to solve the problem.

"The price is quite good, it's quite affordable, and it doesn't bring shame to our Northeast."

Liu Mancang nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Wang Fan, "Boss, give me an elbow, half a pound of beef shank bone and half a pound of beef tendon. Divide it into two portions, one with more and one with less."

"OK, wait."

Wang Fan agreed and started to fish out the meat. After fishing it out, he put it on the chopping board, cut some beef ribs first, and then some beef tendons. He pressed the two foods with a spoon until all the soup in the bowl was poured out before putting them on the scale.

Liu Mancang was very satisfied with this operation, and thought to himself that although this young boss is young, he is very particular about his work.

We spend so much money to buy your meat, not your soup. Cunning people are not welcome.

People from the Northeast are straightforward and say whatever they want, so Liu Mancang didn't hesitate to praise him: "The young boss is really particular about his work despite his young age."

Wang Fan smiled and said, "Why bother stealing that little bit of scale if it won't make you rich? Do you want some chili?"

Liu Mancang gave a thumbs-up and said, "The one with more is slightly spicy, and the one with less is slightly spicy."

Wang Fan nodded and started to pick up the elbow with a spoon.

The spoon was just an ordinary soup spoon. Wang Fan took the handle of the spoon and slid it downwards, splitting the elbow in half. The reddish-brown skin of the elbow was shiny, and beneath it lay a layer of tender white fat, translucent and radiant with an alluring aroma. The shredded meat inside was still steaming, as if proclaiming its freshness and deliciousness. The skin, fat, and shredded meat were intertwined in distinct layers, making Liu Mancang feel a bit overwhelmed just by looking at it.

"No wonder Brother Xiao Ma eats so lavishly. It would be a waste if he didn't eat the pork elbow in big mouthfuls!" Liu Mancang finally understood how Brother Xiao Ma ate in the morning and gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Fan finally poured a spoonful of red soup into the lunch box and packed it up directly, then placed the two packed meals on the counter.

Liu Mancang paid the money, picked up the bag and left happily.

After doing business for so long, every stall owner has a scale in his mind. Just by the heavy feel, Liu Mancang knew that the scale must be fine.

"My wife bought some, come and eat."

Yin Cui put down the work in her hands and sat on the chair, looking at the lunch box in front of her with anticipation.

When she opened the lid of the lunch box, the presentation inside made Yin Cui in a good mood.

The elbow meat is placed with the skin facing upwards, and its maroon color is pleasing to the eye. Next to it is the beef shank bone, which is so soft and sticky that you can't wait to suck it all up in one bite. Next to it is a large piece of beef tendon, which is coiled into a compact S shape and covered with blanched rapeseed on both sides. It looks very refreshing with its green color.

Two lines of chili oil are placed between the meat. The moment you lift the lid of the lunch box, the aroma of the chili oil and the aroma of the meat rush into your nose, whetting your appetite.

Liu Mancang took out two spoons from his own basin, handed one to Yin Cui and said, "I tell you, you have to use a spoon to eat this kind of meat. Just watch."

As he spoke, he took Yin Cui's extra portion and moved it in front of him, then poked the elbow meat with the iron spoon.

Mixed, mixed, mixed...

Liu Mancang's spoon kept stirring the meat from the skin, and from time to time he would turn up the rice underneath like turning the soil in a field.

As he moved, the rice grains in the lunch box began to blend with the braised meat continuously, and soon they were all tightly fused together.

With a strong dig with the spoon, she dug out a large spoonful of rice. There were pork skin, shredded pork, fat, and beef tendon in the spoon. It was paired with the rice that was soaked in marinade and exuded an attractive oily sheen. The oppressive force that came towards her made Yin Cui's breathing stagnate.

Obediently boom!
Wouldn’t it be so delicious that your soul will fly away after taking this bite?
He opened his mouth and swallowed the spoon in one gulp. With a sweep of his tongue, everything on the spoon went into his mouth.

The gelatinous skin and beef tendon were chewy and became more fragrant the more you chewed them. The translucent fat crisps melted in your mouth without being greasy at all. The refreshing aroma of rice and the fragrance of chili oil made Yin Cui feel as if she could actually see her own soul floating...

Close your eyes happily and chew with big mouthfuls. As the saliva blends with the rice grains, a sweet taste adds another layer of flavor to the delicious taste in your mouth.

After a long while, Yin Cui opened her eyes until the taste in her mouth faded a little.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my husband scooping another big spoonful of rice and coming over to me, looking at me like a fool with a smile on his face.

"Honey, is it delicious?"

"If it tastes good, you can try it yourself and know for yourself, right?"

Yin Cui blushed and grabbed the spoon: "I'm not a child, do I need you to feed me? Hurry up and eat, you still have to work after eating. How can I eat it if it gets cold if I leave it out any longer?"

Liu Mancang scratched his head embarrassedly, then opened his portion with a silly smile and started eating.
