Reincarnate as a poor widow and bravely fight against the worst scumbag father and evil mother-in-la
Chapter 22: Making Braised Food
Jiang Yuwei said calmly:
"It's true that you are my mother-in-law. If it were the same as before the division of the family, I would have to give you every penny of the money from selling the pork, not to mention the pork."
Jiang Yuwei looked at the greed in Chen Guixiang's eyes and continued:
"But now we have separated, and you know how difficult it is for a woman like me to support a family. You even deliberately gave me the two acres of barren land in the east of the village that had been left uncultivated for several years. Now you can't even bear to see me earn a living, and you want to come and make trouble so that I can't do business."
Jiang Yuwei seemed to be extremely angry as she spoke. She took a step forward, stared at Chen Guixiang and continued:
"Do you know that your son is paralyzed in bed waiting for money to buy medicine? Ning Zhao was injured by you a few days ago and has just been able to get out of bed. Ning Wan is also a little girl and is waiting for me to go back and cook for her. You are right. These are all the children of your Ning family, but have you ever cared about their life or death?"
Chen Guixiang was shocked by Jiang Yuwei's words. She took several steps back and her face turned pale and blue.
The villagers who were watching on the side couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak up:
"Old lady Chen, please leave a way out for the boss's family."
"That's right, that's right, look at what you've done to others."
"Humph, I was there when the family was divided, and I didn't give any good things to the old family. How dare you come and ask for this pork now?"
"Mrs. Chen, it's not like you can't afford pork. If you really want to eat it, just spend money to buy it."
Seeing that no one was speaking for her, Chen Guixiang became so angry that she was out of breath. She was about to point at Jiang Yuwei and start scolding her when she was stopped by Old Man Ning behind her.
Old Man Ning stared at Chen Guixiang with a cold face and said:
"As if you think this isn't embarrassing enough, come home with me!"
Old Man Ning didn't care how Chen Guixiang resisted, he just grabbed her arm and dragged her home.
After seeing Chen Guixiang leave, Ning Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Yuwei:
"Mom, you are so awesome, let's go home."
Jiang Yuwei touched Ning Zhao's head and said with a smile:
"Zhao'er, from now on, I will protect you. You don't have to rush ahead of me in everything. You are still young. When you grow up, you can protect me."
Ning Zhao looked into Jiang Yuwei's eyes, was stunned for a moment, nodded solemnly and said:
"Mom, I will grow up as soon as possible."
Jiang Yuwei smiled helplessly, then took Ning Zhao home on the cart.
After arriving home, Jiang Yuwei asked Ning Zhao to return the cart to Aunt Zhou while she soaked the pig offal in water to clean it, built a fire in the yard to burn the pig hair, cleaned the pig skin first and then cut the pork fat with skin into small pieces, filled the pot with water, added some ginger, onion and garlic, and threw all the chopped pork fat into the pot and boiled the lard over low heat.
When Jiang Yuwei saw Ning Zhao coming back, she asked Ning Zhao to help watch the fire, and asked Wan'er to stand on a bench to help turn the pork fat to prevent it from burning the pot.
I ran to the yard, cleaned the hair on the pig's head, and then soaked it in cold water.
Only then did she feel at ease to start cleaning the pig's offal. She first filled the pig's lungs with water to clean them, and then turned the large intestine over to clean it. Jiang Yuwei didn't want to wash it too clean, otherwise the large intestine would not taste good without the smell. After all, in this era, everyone likes to eat the oil on the large intestine.
After Jiang Yuwei took great pains to clean it, she went back to the house to check on how the lard was being refined. Unexpectedly, the two little guys worked very hard. Ning Zhao was controlling the heat all the time, while Ning Wan was stirring it non-stop.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said to the two children:
"You did a good job. This pot of lard was cooked successfully."
Jiang Yuwei said as she took out the large basin she had prepared earlier to collect the lard. After the lard was collected, she put the lard residue on a plate, sprinkled some salt on it, and handed it to the two children, saying:
"Here, take it to the kang and eat it with your father. It tastes best right out of the pot."
The two children were overjoyed and carried the plates carefully into the inner room. Ning Huaizhi saw that they were sweating profusely so he took out a towel to wipe the sweat off the two children.
Ning Zhao handed the lard residue to Ning Huaizhi and said with a smile:
"Dad, try this. Wan'er and I cooked this. Mom said it tastes better when eaten hot."
Ning Huaizhi happily picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The aroma of lard immediately filled his mouth. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Looking at the plate of meat, he suddenly remembered what Jiang Yuwei said to him on the day of the separation. He couldn't help but curl his lips and murmured:
"Now it seems that she is really different from ordinary women. Maybe she can really make a living for this family."
Seeing Ning Huaizhi eating, Ning Zhao also picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into Ning Wan's mouth. Ning Wan hurriedly opened her mouth to catch it. She was panting from the burn and kept saying:
"Eat, it's delicious, pork lard!"
Ning Zhao was very happy that his sister was finally willing to talk, and she talked more and more, so he also picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth:
"It smells so good and tastes so good, isn't it, Wan'er?"
Ning Wan didn't even bother to use chopsticks. She just stretched out her little hand to grab the food, and nodded at Ning Zhao with a smile.
Ning Zhao looked at Ning Wan helplessly, smiled and shook his head, then picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and ran to the kitchen to put it into Jiang Yuwei's mouth.
At this time, Jiang Yuwei was putting the washed pig offal and pig head into the pot for braising. Some seasonings she had bought at the market before were now coming in handy.
Seeing Jiang Yuwei busying herself in the kitchen, Ning Zhao sat down beside the stove and started helping her light the fire.
Jiang Yuwei was very satisfied with the two children. Although they were still young, they did help her a lot. She also wanted to make her children's life easier, but born in such an era, such young children had to help with housework.
Now I am the only one doing housework at home, and I am definitely overwhelmed. If I have two sensible children to help me, I can take a break.
After Jiang Yuwei adjusted the taste, she said to Ning Zhao:
"Zhao'er, this pot is for stewed food. I'll cover the pot now. Bring it to a boil over high heat first, then simmer it over low heat. This way, the flavor will be absorbed. Got it?"
Ning Zhao nodded and said:
"Just leave your mother to me, don't worry."
Jiang Yuwei looked at the firewood outside the house and it seemed that there was not much left. She had been making fire, cooking and trying new dishes these days. The firewood she had collected before had been almost used up. It seemed that she had to go up the mountain tomorrow.
While thinking about this, Jiang Yuwei washed and chopped the remaining ribs. She planned to make sweet and sour spare ribs tonight. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Seeing that Ning Zhao's fire was almost cooked, Jiang Yuwei found a bamboo bucket and scooped out the marinade and the marinated food, and put them in the bucket to soak so that they could be more flavorful. The weather was not hot now, so she put them in a ventilated place. They could be kept for a few days. She could then take them out and boil them again the night before the market.
