The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister
Chapter 45 Stir-fried Pork Liver
He wanted to take Zhao to the Song Mansion to get some good things, but he was driven out again. His life was getting worse day by day.
Shen Lian has been spoiled since she was a child. In her opinion, everything in the house belongs to her.
How could she have thought that life would be so hard as it is now? If she had known this, she would have gotten married.
However, ever since Wang Dahai found out that Zhao had stolen his sister's dowry, he has rarely interacted with her.
It seems that the relationship between the two is about to fall through. Although Shen Lian is still young, she is anxious to marry into a good family so that she can get out of it as soon as possible.
If I continue to stay in this house, I'm afraid there is no future.
Moreover, recently because of Mr. Shen, the young ladies outside don't like to associate with her anymore.
The saddest person was Zhao. Not only was she beaten in the court, but after she came back, she didn't even have anyone to complain to.
Originally, she was on good terms with Wang Huahua from the front yard, but now Wang Huahua was locked up in jail and no one dared to play with her.
Zhao was completely isolated and helpless, and Mr. Shen didn't like her either. The family's life became worse and worse.
It's all quarrels, and the dog in the house wants to escape.
The days of Shen Xiucai's family became increasingly difficult. Chaos became commonplace, and the family's life became worse day by day.
Because the family had no money, Zhao made noises every day, making the atmosphere at home even more tense.
She has always been a nuisance in the family, and both her behavior and her personality have put the family relationships in trouble.
But Zhao herself was having a hard time. Even at home, she had no one to talk to. She felt even more lonely and desperate. The more she felt like finding trouble with Shen Yan, the more she thought about it. Why was that fat girl living so well?
Shen Lian, the youngest daughter in the family, also felt confused and anxious because of the family changes.
She was used to being pampered, but she never expected to experience such a situation.
At the same time, she felt confused and uneasy about her future and longed to leave this family as soon as possible and not be tied down by her father.
The entire Shen family almost collapsed due to internal conflicts, and quarrels were endless.
The days of Shen Xiucai's family seemed to be trapped in a haze. If Shen Yan knew about this, she would definitely think that they deserved it.
On the other side, Shen Yan was busy.
I spent the whole morning embroidering a picture of two dragons playing with a pearl, but didn't make much progress.
Although there are sketches and drafts, you still have to think about it carefully, rearrange the layout, and get a feel for it.
Otherwise, the progress might not be so fast.
Although I couldn't stop embroidering, I couldn't speed up. As I was embroidering, my arms felt numb and sore, so I had to stop and rest for a while.
Another day passed, and on the next day, Nanny Zhang came back carrying firewood, followed by Wang Jun.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jun also helped with the work.
After the two came back, they started chopping wood and preparing to boil water and cook.
Don't be fooled by Wang Jun's small stature. He can do work just as well as an adult. Although he looks thin, he is actually a grown man.
Shen Yan stood aside and said nothing.
She knew that Wang Jun was the son of Aunt Wang in the backyard. Recently, Aunt Wang and her husband had been working in the noble mansion and sometimes did not come back at night.
So only Wang Jun and his sister, Wang Lin, were left at home.
The two brothers had no one to rely on, so they always came to her house for meals, and Shen Yan was happy to help.
It was just that Wang Jun felt that he had done something unbelievable, so he just helped with some of the work, and Shen Yan just let him do it.
Shen Yan looked at the busy figures of Nanny Zhang and Wang Jun with gratitude, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Although the family was not well off, they still tried their best to support the family. Shen Yan was determined to do her best to help them and make them feel the warmth and unity of home. After all, the embroidery work in her hands was rewarding, at least there was some progress.
Seeing Wang Jun working so hard, Shen Yan was even more moved.
Although he is still young, he has shown a rare sense of responsibility and diligence. Shen Yan decided to take better care of the brother and sister so that they would at least not have such a hard time, because it is difficult for children to take care of themselves without their parents around.
So, Shen Yan took the initiative to go over and help, sharing the work with Nanny Zhang and Wang Jun.
They worked together to prepare breakfast. Although it was tiring, it was still enjoyable.
At noon, Shen Yan prepared simple but hearty dishes for everyone. Today's main dish was stir-fried pork belly.
Shen Yan first cleaned the fresh pork stomach and marinated it with salt and starch for a while to make it more flavorful.
She then sliced the pork belly thinly and set aside.
In a pot, Shen Yan put a proper amount of cooking oil, and when the oil was hot, he poured the sliced pork belly into the pot and began to stir-fry. During the frying process, the pork belly slices exuded an attractive aroma that made people salivate.
Nanny Zhang stood by, constantly adding firewood to keep the fire at the right temperature.
Wang Jun is responsible for helping to turn the pork belly slices to ensure that they are evenly heated and do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Shen Yan added chopped green onion, ginger, garlic and some spices to the pot to enhance the aroma and taste of the pig's stomach. Then, she poured in an appropriate amount of soy sauce and Shen Yan's homemade cooking wine to season and enhance the flavor.
When the pork tripe slices are fried until slightly yellow and emit an enticing aroma, Shen Yan adds some clear soup, covers the pot, and simmers for a while to make the pork trip more flavorful and tender.
Finally, Shen Yan sprinkled some chopped green onions and coriander to enhance the color, aroma and taste of the dish. A delicious stir-fried pork belly was ready.
When waves of fragrance waft out of the kitchen, the whole house is filled with a sense of happiness.
"Wow, this smells so good." Wang Lin almost drooled when he smelled it outside.
"Don't be impatient, sister has something else, do you want to eat it?" Shen Yan said with a smile.
"Anything else?" Wang Lin widened his eyes.
After hearing what Wang Lin said, Shen Yan smiled and said, "Of course I have. I prepared a few dishes today, but they have to wait until the stir-fried pork belly is finished before serving."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lin quickly walked into the kitchen and looked curiously at the pork belly dish in the pot: "Sister, did you make this? It looks delicious!"
Shen Yan smiled and nodded, and continued to work as she prepared another dish and a pot of soup.
The dish is a stir-fried vegetable dish, simple and refreshing, suitable as a dish to go with rice. The soup is a clear winter melon and pork ribs soup, which is light, delicious and nutritious.
When all the dishes were prepared, Shen Yan placed them on the dining table, and the whole table was instantly surrounded by delicious aroma.
She smiled and invited Wang Lin and Aunt Zhang to come and taste it.
"Everyone sit down and eat."
Wang Lin excitedly picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of stir-fried pork belly and taste it: "Mm, it's delicious! Sister, you are amazing."
Wang Jun looked at his sister's cute appearance and started eating. However, he recently liked to save the delicious dishes for his sister. Shen Yan saw this and thought that the child had grown up.
