There are four pots in the Yang family’s kitchen, one for cooking rice, one for braising pig’s trotters, one for making soup, and another for stir-frying vegetables. This wealthy family is really amazing, they have more pots than others.

With the help of two maids, Yinuo only had one dish left to cook.

This dish is pork belly wrapped in perilla.

"Mrs. Huang, do you have cucumbers?" Yinuo asked.

"Yes, they were brought over from the farm this morning. They were grown by me myself, so they are very fresh. I'll get them right away!" Mrs. Huang's face was filled with smiles. She had broadened her horizons today.

Yinuo gave her a thumbs up and said, "Thumbs up to you, you are an expert in growing vegetables."

Gu Yun, who was standing by, smiled: "What does this like mean?"

"It means to praise." Yinuo explained.

Mrs. Huang was so happy that she smiled and thought to herself, this young lady has a special way of praising people. Gu Yun also silently took note of it.

Yinuo ignored them and concentrated on cooking.

The pot here is not a frying pan, so it is impossible to make roasted pork belly, so she plans to make a big bowl of braised pork belly and then wrap it with perilla, which saves the Korean sauce.

Besides, it's summer now, and it's too hot to eat barbecue around the stove.

She first prepared ginger and scallions, then washed the pork belly, cut it into 3 cm thick pieces, put the meat, scallions and ginger directly into a pot of cold water, and boiled the water over high heat.

After the water boils, cook for another quarter of an hour, then you can take it out. Use warm water to wash off the foam on the surface of the pork belly and drain the water.

Now you can heat the oil in a pan. Yinuo did not fry the sugar color directly, but put the pork belly into the pan first and asked Mrs. Qin to turn down the heat a little to medium, so that the oil in the pork belly can be fried out slowly.

The meat in the pan made a sizzling sound, and soon, oil began to come out. When it was fried until golden brown, Yinuo turned the pork belly over with chopsticks. When it turned golden again, he took the pork belly out.

"Oh, sister, the aroma of your meat is so charming that I can't stay here any longer." Gu Yun stood aside and couldn't help but kept leaning forward.

Yinuo knew that Gu Yun stayed here to accompany her because she felt embarrassed to ask the guests to cook.

But she felt that the smoke was too big and it was hot, so she really didn't think it was necessary: ​​"Sister, it's time to eat."

"How about you help me find the two children?"

"Supervise them to wash their hands and get ready for dinner."

Gu Yun felt that the time was about right and there was really no need to be so polite, so he said a few words and took the maid to look for the child.

Yinuo smiled helplessly and continued to cook.

There was a lot of lard in the pot at this time. She scooped out some of the oil with a large spoon, put it in a bowl, and then added sugar to the pot.

Slowly stir-fry until it melts and changes color to date red. The big bubbles in the oil turn into small bubbles. When the small bubbles are about to disappear, the sugar color is ready.

Then immediately add the pork belly and stir-fry quickly so that the surface of the meat is coated with sugar color; then pour in rice wine, soy sauce, scallion and ginger slices and stir-fry evenly, and add appropriate amount of water to cover the pork belly.

At this time, you need to turn up the heat. After the water boils, have Mrs. Qin remove the firewood, turn to low heat, and simmer for half an hour.

Now that the rice and soup are cooked, you can prepare the side dishes, like Korean barbecue, with some chopped green onions and cucumbers.

After cleaning the cucumber, cut it directly in the middle and then cut it into four pieces. Yinuo is used to removing the cucumber naan and then cut it into sections.

To cut the ginger into shreds, she cut the green onions into long strips. She used the tip of the knife to cut the green onion vertically in the middle, then peeled it open and took out the core in the middle.

Then he cut all the scallions into segments and removed the cores, piled them together, folded them in half and rolled them twice, placed them on the chopping board, and quickly cut them into shreds. His knife movements were so quick and deft that Mrs. Huang was stunned.

Just like that, the ingredients were prepared, and Yinuo piled the cucumber and green onion shreds on the plate.

Mrs. Huang put the washed perilla in the vegetable basket to drain.

The pork belly was almost cooked by this time, Yinuo opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of the pork belly wafted out instantly.

When the two maids in the kitchen smelled the fragrance, their stomachs immediately started to growl. They felt really embarrassed, but the aroma was so tempting.

Yinuo asked Mrs. Qin to add some firewood and cook it over high heat until the sauce dried up, but she didn't, and there was still a little sauce left.

She took out the pork belly and put it on a plate, then poured the sauce from the pot into a small bowl and placed it in the middle of the plate with cucumber and green onion, and then put the drained basil leaves in it. The basil leaves wrapped pork belly was ready.

Today's dishes are all ready, so we can serve them and eat.

In this dynasty, there was no strict separation between men and women, and men and women could sit together at family gatherings, so they were unusually lively today.

When Yinuo followed the maids and servants to the dining room, everyone was already seated. Teng Ke patted the stool next to him, motioning Yinuo to sit next to him.

When the children saw this big plate of pork belly, their mouths watered.

They couldn't help but applaud: "Finally we can eat."

Lieutenant Yang and his wife saw the long-lost childlike smile on their son's face, and they no longer wanted to scold him for breaking the rules, so they dismissed the servants and the two families had a good reunion together today.

"This is pork belly wrapped in perilla leaves. Brother-in-law, Sister Yun, you have to try my cooking and give me some suggestions." Yinuo no longer considered himself a guest and introduced himself to the two of them directly.

Gu Yun followed the principle of asking if she didn't understand: "Good sister, stop talking and tell me how to wrap the meat."

Lieutenant Yang was very satisfied with the food on the table. Hearing his wife's eagerness and the children's eyes staring at him, he made a gesture of invitation: "Don't be polite, everyone, come and eat."

As he spoke, Lieutenant Yang picked up a piece of pig's trotter and started chewing it.

Gu Yun shook his head helplessly and followed Yinuo's example to wrap it himself.

Pick up a piece of perilla leaf, put a piece of pork belly, a piece of cucumber, some chopped green onion, use a spoon to dip some sauce on the cucumber, and finally roll it up.

She covered her mouth with her left hand and took a gentle bite.

The pork belly is soft, crispy and fragrant, while the perilla leaves are refreshing. The combination of the two creates a very layered taste.

While eating, Gu Yun couldn't help but give Yinuo a thumbs up.

Even the children.

"Mom, I like you."

"Aunt, I like you."

Teng Ke and Lieutenant Yang looked at each other. Apparently, they were the only two who didn't understand what a like meant, but that didn't stop them from eating and drinking well.

Lieutenant Yang ate with great relish: "This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten. It is thanks to my wife that I can eat the food cooked by you, my sister-in-law."

He patted Teng Ke on the shoulder again and said, "Brother Teng, let's not stop until we are drunk today."

As he said this, he ordered someone to bring the wine.

Teng Ke frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lieutenant Yang: "Brother, I have arranged for the guards to go to the barracks to ask for leave from the general. We will have a day off tomorrow."

"I must not stop getting drunk today."

After saying that, he immediately pulled Teng Ke to drink with him.
