The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

I don’t know why, but these days, it seems that more people are willing to eat fatty meat, and the boss still has a lot of lean meat left.

Fatty meat and lean meat have the same price, so Shen Yan is of course happy to eat lean meat. With her body shape, if she continues to eat fatty meat, she probably won't be able to lose weight.

In addition, she bought some pig's trotters, but no one wanted them because there was no meat on them.

"Madam, do you like this pig's hoof?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "If you want it, I'll give you all the livers, too. It only costs two cents."

The butcher looked very kind and was eager to close his stall and sell the unsold items.

And seeing that Shen Yan was a little fat girl, she probably wouldn't mind these things, so she sold them to her.

"Thank you, boss." After thanking him, Shen Yan accepted all the things.

After adding these things, the burden became heavier and Shen Yan would soon be unable to carry it.

In this case, I can’t buy anything anymore.

After getting outside, she called a carriage and eventually followed it back.

The whole journey was swaying and not very comfortable. Shen Yan just felt a little dizzy.

I didn't expect that I would get carsick when riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

On the way back, there was someone to keep us company in the carriage.

However, the man glanced at Shen Yan's bag from time to time, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

But fortunately, no one said anything, and Shen Yan didn't know why they disliked pig's trotters, intestines and lungs, etc., even though these things were delicious when cooked.

Maybe it’s because in this era, pig offal is not processed well, so it smells stronger.

Just thinking about cooking several dishes when she gets home, Shen Yan feels happy because she can finally eat a more hearty meal.

Soon, she returned home.

Aunt Zhang had been waiting at the door for a long time, with an awkward smile on her face, "Madam, you're back."

"The master is in the kitchen."

Shen Yan nodded and carried the bag to the kitchen. She was going to cook herself tonight.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

"I bought some things and cooked." Shen Yan said nonchalantly.

"I'll do it." said Nanny Zhang.

"How dare I trouble you?" Shen Yan took out the buns first, "The buns are getting cold, please heat them up in the pot."

As she spoke, Shen Yan took out the things and went to wash the pig offal and pig's trotters at the kitchen door.

The rice and noodles I bought were put into the jar.

The good silk threads and cloths were put into the bedroom, waiting to be used at night. At this time, Shen Yan checked and found that they were all intact and there was no problem.

Aunt Zhang saw that everyone had returned, so she said to her, "The buns are cooked, Madam, aren't you hungry? How about eating some first?"

"No, no, just heat it up and eat it with the master."

Shen Yan was not that particular. She had already eaten and was not that hungry now.

And the most important thing is that the buns are already cold, this thing needs to be heated up to taste good.

Although Nanny Zhang felt that something was wrong, she still heated up the buns and ate one herself.

"How does it taste? Good, right?"

"Well, that's okay. I'll take these to the master." Nanny Zhang said as she put the buns on a plate and went to the study.

Shen Yan stood in the kitchen, picked up a sharp knife, and began to process the pig's offal. She skillfully cut the pig's offal into small pieces and then soaked them in clean water to remove the odor and blood.

While preparing the pig offal, Shen Yan's thoughts drifted away. She recalled how she learned cooking from her mother when she was young. Her mother always taught her while carefully preparing the ingredients, which taught her a lot of kitchen skills and experience.

As the pig offal was washed in clean water, Shen Yan's technique gradually became light and skillful. As she fished out the washed pig offal, she carefully checked each piece of meat to ensure that it was removed cleanly.

Shen Yan has a smile on her face. She enjoys this kind of life and the fun and satisfaction of cooking for her family. Although life is not rich, every meal at home is full of the taste and warmth of her mother, which makes her feel extremely happy and satisfied.

After processing the pig offal, Shen Yan put it in the pot and cooked it, then rinsed it with clean water.

Shen Yan took the processed pig offal out of the pot and began to prepare spicy pork liver. She took out the fresh pork liver, rinsed it with clean water, and then cut it into thin slices, and prepared the ingredients: pepper, dried chili, onion, ginger, garlic, etc.

Shen Yan first marinated the pork liver slices with cooking wine and starch for a while to make them more tender. Then, she heated the pot, poured in a proper amount of cooking oil, and when the oil was hot, added peppercorns, dried chilies, onions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry until the aroma filled the air.

Then, Shen Yan put the marinated pork liver slices into the pot one by one and quickly stir-fried them until cooked through. She was skilled and controlled the heat just right, allowing the pork liver to retain its fresh and tender taste.

Finally, Shen Yan sprinkled in the right amount of salt and MSG, drizzled with a spoonful of sesame oil, stir-fried it evenly, and served it on a plate. A spicy pork liver with good color, aroma and taste was ready.

Shen Yan picked up the spicy pork liver and placed it on the table. A fragrance immediately wafted out. She looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, her heart filled with love and warmth for her family.

"Madam Zhang, the spicy pork liver is ready, come and try it." Shen Yan shouted.

"Oh, Madam, I can smell the fragrance from far away. I didn't expect you have such cooking skills." Aunt Zhang felt strange. People outside said that Shen Yan was lazy and gluttonous, but she saw that this lady was proficient in everything and was also hardworking.

Shen Yan looked at the spicy pork liver on the dining table with satisfaction, feeling the aroma spreading in the room. She knew that the fruits of her labor would bring satisfaction and happiness to her family, which made her feel extremely happy and satisfied.

However, Shen Yan did not stop, she had another specialty to prepare - stewed pig's trotters. She took out the fresh pig's trotters that she had prepared in advance from the refrigerator, then cleaned them and put them in the pot.

Then, Shen Yan prepared some ingredients, including ginger, scallions, star anise, cinnamon, etc., as well as some seasonings, such as cooking wine, soy sauce, rock sugar, etc. She put these ingredients and seasonings into the pot, and then added an appropriate amount of water, adjusting it to just cover the pig's trotters.

Shen Yan lit the fire, put the pot on the fire, and after the water boiled, she turned to low heat and simmered it slowly. She knew that stewing pig's trotters required time and patience, and the key was to stew the trotters until the meat was tender and tasty.

During the stewing process, Shen Yan occasionally lifted the lid of the pot, scooped up the soup in the pot with a spoon, and poured it on the pig's trotters to keep it moist and delicious. She gently stirred the ingredients in the pot to ensure that each piece of pig's trotter could evenly absorb the flavor of the seasoning.
