Started as a poor little girl

She turned around and put the pork belly into the casserole, added water to cover it, added a few slices of ginger, two star anises, peppercorns, and a spoonful of cooking wine, covered the pot, brought to a boil over high heat, and simmered on low heat for about twenty minutes.

When the meat was cooked, she took it out and put it on a plate. Don't pour out the broth as you will need it later.

Use a spoon to take a little dark soy sauce and spread it evenly on the pork skin. If the color of the dark soy sauce is not dark enough, apply it twice.

Heat the oil over high heat until it is 60% hot, add the pork belly and immediately cover the pot. Gently adjust the position of the pot to allow the skin to be heated evenly.

After about five minutes, the noise in the pot begins to quiet down and you can take the casserole down.

Wait until the oil temperature drops before opening the lid and turning it over to have a look. It will fry into a beautiful red-brown color.

Li Lulu put the fried pork belly into the soup pot for cooking meat, firstly to cool it down, and also to soften the hardened pork skin so that it would be easier to slice later.

While the meat was soaking, she twirled around the kitchen like a dancer, preparing other dishes at the same time, and time flowed as smoothly as silk in her hands, with nothing wasted.

Meat egg rolls, she is like a creator, thinking about how to let everyone taste this novel delicacy.

"Lulu, this is the minced meat you wanted." Li Xiaoguang limped over with the chopped meat in his hands and handed it to his sister as if it were a precious treasure.

Li Lulu's lips curved, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze: "Thank you, second brother."

She took the minced meat and, like a seasoning master, skillfully blended salt, pepper, light soy sauce, cooking wine, and chopped green onion and ginger, stirring evenly, letting the minced meat sleep in the marinating process, waiting for the delicious taste to awaken.

The pork belly was soaked in water just right. Li Lulu was like a conductor, guiding Yue Xiangmei to help cut the pork belly.

Yue Xiangmei cut the pork belly into evenly thick slices and handed the slices to her daughter. She knew nothing about the subsequent steps but trusted her daughter to hand over the stage.

Li Lulu took the sliced ​​pork belly with a smile, and like a plating artist, she took out a wide-mouthed bowl and arranged the sliced ​​meat slices neatly with the skin facing down.

Add a layer of chopped pickled mustard greens, add a large spoonful of meat soup to the prepared sauce and stir evenly.

Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the preserved vegetables and steam them in a steamer for one and a half hours.

Next, Li Lulu continued to make meat egg rolls. She took a few eggs, beat them into a bowl, added salt, and stirred well.

Yue Xiangmei helped prepare the flour, added appropriate amount of water, stirred it evenly, and made it into a batter.

"Lulu, are you going to make pancakes?" Yue Xiangmei held the batter she had prepared with a puzzled look on her face.

"Almost. I'm going to make meat egg rolls and I need dough." Li Lulu was busy preparing the minced meat while answering Yue Xiangmei.

Yue Xiangmei helped spread the dough. When the bottom of the pancake turned golden and small bubbles appeared on the surface, Li Lulu evenly spread the prepared minced meat on the pancake.

Then pour an egg liquid on the minced pork, spread the egg liquid flat with a spatula, wait for the egg liquid to solidify, and then roll up the pancake.

Set the rolled eggs aside to dry. After they have cooled slightly, cut the meat and egg rolls into thick slices of appropriate size and steam them in a steamer for a while.

At this moment, the kitchen is crowded with people and many kitchen helpers are busy.

As it was almost time for dinner, all the delicious dishes were ready.

Li Lulu looked around and found that there were still a lot of fresh meat left.

Then she had an idea, and she skillfully picked up the spatula and quickly stir-fried two plates of delicious stir-fried meat.

After finishing, she walked out of the kitchen with satisfaction and enjoyed the delicious meal with everyone.

When the guests saw Li Lulu appear, they put down their bowls and chopsticks and waited for her to take her seat.

The dazzling array of delicious food on the table is mouth-watering, and the tempting aroma fills the air.

Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, with laughter rising one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely warm and harmonious.

Everyone praised today's delicacies and said that they had never tasted such delicious food even in those high-end restaurants outside.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Lulu's parents suddenly stood up. Their actions were quite abrupt and instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Li Qingping smiled and said sincerely: "Today, I am grateful for your kindness and I would like to invite you all to have a banquet here.

Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for extending a helping hand to my family, and I would also like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Jin for his great help.

Not only did you give us a place to stay, you also invited Dr. Li to cure our Lulu's illness. Now we have decided to leave this place. Before we leave, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to you again! "

Everyone stared at them. They felt like they were of no help, but they didn't make any noise to disturb them.

Yue Xiangmei continued, "We wanted to stay a few more days, but we are worried about the elderly at home who need our care. So we decided to leave tomorrow. I hope everyone can understand."

Upon hearing the news, everyone was filled with regret and expressed their desire to retain them, hoping that they could stay.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Jing Meixue frowned. She hadn't had the chance to chat with Lulu for a few more words!

"That's right! Little girl, why are you leaving just after you've recovered?" Li Qinze was also reluctant to let her go. The cooking skills of this little girl and her mother were both amazing.

Xiao Jinnian frowned slightly, turned around and said softly to Li Lulu: "Lulu, everyone hopes that you will stay. Do you really want to leave?"

Li Lulu lowered her head, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but she knew very well that the grandfather at home needed their care, and her eldest brother also had his own affairs to deal with and could not always look after grandfather.

Li Lulu raised her head, smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you for your kindness, we are really touched. But my grandfather at home is old and needs our care, we can't let them worry. We will miss you all and hope to have the opportunity to see you again."

After listening to Li Lulu's words, everyone understood their decision, even though they were still reluctant.

After the banquet, Wei Lingheng remained silent and followed his parents and grandfather home quietly.

In the evening, Li Lulu took a comfortable bath. She was very tired today and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got into bed.

The next morning, Li Lulu was leaving the capital city, feeling mixed and excited.

Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian were waiting for her at her door early in the morning. As soon as she opened the door, she saw them looking at her with worried faces.

"You two look like you are facing a great enemy, as if you are sending me to the execution ground. I can't help but feel a little scared." Li Lulu trembled, trying to liven up the heavy atmosphere.

However, her efforts were ineffective and the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

"I'm here to see you off." Wei Lingheng's tone was as calm as dead water.

He actually didn't want to see her off, but his body followed involuntarily because the pain of parting was too unbearable.

"Yes, I'm here to see Lulu off too." Xiao Jinnian smiled with a look of relief.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

They sent Li Lulu to the carriage. Wei Lingheng remained silent and only said one sentence from beginning to end.

He didn't want Li Lulu to hear his voice, which was hoarse from trying so hard to suppress the pain.

"Goodbye, Lulu, uncle, aunt, and second brother." Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian waved and said goodbye to Li Lulu's family.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the wheels made a creaking sound, as if telling the sadness of parting.

Li Lulu looked at the gradually receding figure through the car window, her eyes blurred with tears and countless complex emotions surged in her heart.

Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian, these two close friends illuminated her life in the capital like warm sunshine.

They always stay by her side, giving her meticulous care and support.

Every laugh and every quarrel became her precious memory.

Finally, the carriage stopped. Li Lulu couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and ran towards Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian who were standing together.

She hugged them tightly, tears pouring out like a dam breaking: "Goodbye! I really hope we can meet again..."

Then, Li Lulu turned around, wiped her tears, and hurried back to the carriage.

As soon as she got in the car, she could no longer suppress her grief and burst into tears.

Mother Yue Xiangmei hugged her daughter distressedly and comforted her softly: "Good child, don't cry. They will be fine, and you will definitely meet again."

Yue Xiangmei knew clearly that these two young men were truly devoted to their daughter.

She never worried that her daughter would have any conflicts with them. After all, she knew her daughter's character very well.

Although my daughter is very smart and her business is going smoothly, she seems to be always confused about the relationship between men and women and has not yet come to her senses.

At this moment, Li Lulu only regards Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian as her closest friends, and that pure friendship makes people feel extremely precious.

In order to ensure that Li Lulu and her family returned home safely, Xiao Jinnian specially dispatched a team of strong men to escort them along the way.

These loyal and brave guards will do their utmost to protect their safety until they reach their hometown.

Looking at the carriage team that was moving farther and farther away until it completely disappeared, Wei Lingheng stood there like a sculpture, motionless, staring straight ahead, his eyes full of emptiness and confusion.

Time passed by minute by minute, but he was unaware of it and still maintained his original posture, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this scene in his mind.
