Chapter 260 The taste in memory

Ruan Mei nodded.

"I understand."

Zhou Jisheng asked with a curious look on his face.

"I heard that you are from Lin'an?"

Ruan Mei responded.

"Yes."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Can you make wine wind pork liver?"

Ruan Mei paused for a moment and then said.

"I can do it. First, put the solidified lard into the slit pork liver, dry it on string strings; put it in wine to soak for a year, then take it out, add sugar, sesame oil, and salt, steam it and slice it."

Zhou Jisheng laughed.

"If Jiufeng Pork Liver didn't take a year to brew, I really want you to try one now."

Ruan Mei nodded.

"Uncle Ji, you are really a gourmet. Jiufeng pork liver is very good for rice. One piece can eat a meal."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Very few people can cook this kind of dish now, but I have seen some people making light sticks."

Ruan Mei paused for a moment, then responded.

"Uncle Ji, are you talking about fried meat?"

Zhou Jisheng asked with a curious look on his face.

"That's right, what I'm talking about is meat, can you do it?"

Ruan Mei responded.

"Meat is difficult to make. You need salt, sugar, green onions, ginger, rock sugar, cooking wine, and aniseed."

Zhou Jisheng added.

"You also forgot to mention the cinnamon."

Ruan Mei said.

"You can't cook the meat at will, it will fall apart."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"That's what your mother taught you, too."

Ruan Mei nodded.

"You're right. Mom said to press the meat with a wooden board and put a stone on it so that the meat won't fall apart. And it will take at least four hours to cook."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"By the way, the first time you pull out fat and thin is called jade belt hook, the second time it is pulled out is better, the half fat and half thin is called eyes, the third time it is all lean meat, and there is a bone, just It’s called Tim Light Stick.”

Ruan Mei echoed.

"you are right."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"The prepared meat is very fragrant. After three or four days of marinating, the meat is boiled in the sauce. It is really fragrant."

Ruan Mei said.

"I also think so."

Zhou Jisheng paused for a moment and then said.

"Ahua is also from Lin'an. Her family members were all killed in the war. She came to Hong Kong Island after going through untold hardships."

Ruan Mei said.

"It's really a coincidence that my family is also dead."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"When people get old, they always like to recall the past. Are you interested in hearing the story between me and Ah Hua?"

Ruan Mei laughed.

"Uncle Ji, I am willing to listen."

Zhou Jisheng paused for a moment and then said.

"I came to Hong Kong from Chaozhou back then and lived in a big suite."

Ruan Mei asked with a curious look on her face.

"How big is the big suite you're talking about?"

"There are more than a dozen households. I live in the one at the top, and Ah Hua lives in the middle."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"At that time, Ah Hua was still young, she was beautiful, and she could cook. Many people pursued her."

Ruan Mei said.

"Uncle Ji, you must have pursued her too."

Zhou Jisheng shook his head and said.

"At that time, I was just a dock porter who made a living by selling brute force, how dare I pursue her."

Ruan Mei laughed.

"Uncle Ji, you are personable, and you must have been a good-looking talent when you were young."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"You're wrong. I was dark and ugly at the time, and no woman wanted to associate with me."

Ruan Mei asked with a curious look on her face.

"Since you said you are worthless, why would Sister Hua fall in love with you?"

Zhou Jisheng replied.

"I also asked Ah Hua this question at the time."

Ruan Mei said.

"Why did you ask?"

Zhou Jisheng said.

"I just said I'm poor, how could you fall in love with me, but she gave me an unexpected answer."

Ruan Mei said.

"Uncle Ji, don't be a fool."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Ah Hua said that she knows how to read faces, and she also said that don't look at me being poor now, I will definitely be prosperous in the future."

Immediately, Zhou Jisheng sighed.

"At that time, I thought she was just talking casually, but she was so right that she was right."

Ruan Mei said with a look of appreciation on her face.

"It seems that in addition to being good at cooking, Sister Hua also has good eyesight."

"Her meat dishes are very delicious, and she won't cook them no matter how others ask her."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"She usually only cooks it during Chinese New Year, but every time I am unhappy, she will cook it for me."

Ruan Mei said.

"Sister Hua is really ingenious."

Zhou Jisheng said.

"Ah Hua always said that she likes to cook for me to eat, and I will eat when she cooks well. As time goes by, we become husband and wife."

After a moment of silence, Ruan Mei said.

"My family has a history of congenital heart disease. My grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, and even my grandmother, who I depend on for life, all died of heart disease."

Zhou Jisheng said with a sympathetic look on his face.

"Your current situation is quite similar to that of Ah Hua back then. It seems that you are both strong women."

Ruan Mei said.

"It is precisely because of this disease that I made up my mind when I was a child not to have a boyfriend, not to fall in love, not to get married and have children, so as not to harm others or myself."

Zhou Jisheng asked with a questioning look on his face.

"Aren't you begging me for your boyfriend now?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that after I met Zhanbo, I couldn't help falling in love with him anymore."

Ruan Mei said.

"I often cook food for him. Every time I see him eating happily, I feel happy in my heart."

Zhou Jisheng laughed.

"You and Ah Hua seem to have similar ways of expressing their emotions."

Ruan Mei said.

"You're right. To use an inappropriate analogy, my desire to marry him is just as urgent as Sister Hua's desire to marry you back then."

Zhou Jisheng nodded slightly to show that he understood what Ruan Mei meant.

"The stock market will open tomorrow. He has been waiting for this day for a long time. This is the best time for him to move Chen Wanxian!"

Ruan Mei said.

"Zhanbo doesn't have enough funds to fight Chen Wanxian. When I saw his fidgeting, I felt sorry for him."

Zhou Jisheng took off his glasses and stared at Ruan Mei.

"I couldn't bear to see the confused look on Zhanbo's face, so I sent him back to Hong Kong."

Ruan Mei said with a determined expression on her face.

"He should go to participate in the decisive battle with Chen Wanxian. Staying here to wait will only make him regret for life."

Zhou Jisheng remained silent.

Ruan Mei shed a tear from the corner of her eyes and said goodbye to Zhou Jisheng.

"Uncle Ji, I still have something to do, so I have to leave first."

When Zhou Jisheng heard the words, he seemed to want to say something, but finally he didn't say it.

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Mei left the room.

Zhou Jisheng looked at her retreating back, thoughtfully.

***
That night, Zhou Jisheng tossed and turned in bed, thinking about his thoughts, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

The next morning, as soon as he woke up, he smelled an extremely attractive fragrance.

Zhou Jisheng had an idea.

"Yes, this is the taste of the meat in my memory."

Zhou Jisheng sat up from the bed and shouted.

"Awei, come here quickly."

Wei Ge walked in after hearing the words.

"What's the matter, master?"

Zhou Jisheng asked Wei Ge.

"Did you smell the fragrance?"

Wei Ge nodded.

"I can smell it."

Zhou Jisheng asked.

"Tell me, where does this scent come from?"
