Chapter 67: Corn and Pork Ribs Soup, Fried Pork and Fish

When Zhang Erniu saw the prefect, the county magistrate, and the village head, he hurriedly greeted them respectfully.

When he turned to Han Jingrui, Han Jingrui just nodded slightly, with no expression on his face, and even a little imperceptible anger.

Zhang Erniu was slightly stunned and felt a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he went back to continue repairing the road.

The magistrate had been observing everyone and soon noticed something strange about Han Jingrui.

He was curious and didn't understand why Han Jingrui seemed angry. He pondered secretly, but the magistrate didn't dare to ask rashly, so he could only speculate in his heart.

In the kitchen, Su Panpan planned to stew a corn and pork ribs soup first.

She picked fresh corn and cut it into small pieces. The golden corn kernels were plump and tempting.

Since there were no fresh spare ribs at the moment, Su Panpan used the salted spare ribs that had been marinated previously to stew. After washing them and blanching them to remove the fishy smell, she then added an appropriate amount of water to the pot and put in the spare ribs, corn, red dates and wolfberries.

After boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer slowly.

While the soup was stewing, Su Panpan cut the pork into strips, added salt, pepper, cooking wine, a little peppercorns and other seasonings and marinated it for a while to bring out the basic flavor.

Next, she prepared a bowl of flour and a bowl of egg liquid.

Coat the marinated pork in flour first, then dip it in egg liquid, and finally coat it in flour again.

Then wash the fish, cut it into even pieces, and marinate it with salt, cooking wine and ginger slices.

I cut some other vegetables and the preparations were almost done.

Wash your hands and open the lid of the pot. You will see the soup in the pot bubbling and gurgling over low heat, gradually turning into milky white and emitting a rich aroma.

The aroma filled the entire kitchen, making people feel as if they were in a warm embrace.

The aroma of fresh corn and salty spareribs blend together, and the soup is garnished with a few red dates and wolfberries.

She tasted the soup and found it to be just the right saltiness. She had never expected that the soup made with salty pork ribs was just as delicious as fresh pork ribs. The soup was fresh and the meat was fragrant, and it had a unique flavor.

Pour the soup and prepare to fry the crispy pork first and then the fish.

Pour enough oil into the pot. When the oil is hot, gently place the pork strips coated with flour into the pot.

The crispy meat expands rapidly in the hot oil, making a crackling sound.

After a while, the crispy meat turned golden yellow.

Su Panpan used a colander to scoop out the fried crispy meat and placed it in a grate to control the oil.

The golden crispy meat is neatly placed on the plate.

Su Panpan picked up one and tasted it. The skin was crispy and made a "crunch" sound when bitten. The meat inside was tender and juicy.

The numbing taste of Sichuan peppercorns is perfectly integrated into the dish, adding a unique flavor.

She nodded in satisfaction and sprinkled some five-spice chili powder on it.

At this time, the rich aroma of fried crispy meat has filled the air, making people drool.

The tempting aroma soon drifted out of the kitchen. When the prefect smelled it, his curiosity was piqued and he couldn't help but want to go into the kitchen to see what delicious food was.

Upon seeing this, the magistrate stepped forward to stop him and said, "Sir, the kitchen is very fumy, please don't go in. It would be bad if it splashed on you." The head of the village also nodded.

Han Jingrui also often glanced towards the kitchen.

The prefect insisted on going into the kitchen, and the three of them followed him.

As the prefect entered the kitchen and was about to add firewood to the stove, the county magistrate panicked and quickly stopped him, saying anxiously, "Sir, you can't do this. Let me do this rough work."

As the magistrate was about to add more firewood to the stove, the village head saw this and hurried forward to stop the magistrate, saying, "Sir, please don't bother with this. Let me do it."

The magistrate and the village head kept looking at Su Panpan.

Seeing this, Su Panpan hurriedly said, "My lords, the kitchen is full of fumes. I'm afraid you might get fumed. Please wait outside."

The magistrate and the village head nodded in a replicant manner.

The prefect had no choice but to walk out in disappointment.

However, the moment he turned around, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the plate of golden and tempting crispy meat.

While no one was paying attention, he quickly reached out and secretly hid two pieces of crispy meat in his sleeve. His movements were so swift that it was like a naughty child stealing candy.

The prefect thought he had done it secretly, but he didn't know that there was a pair of eyes that had seen everything.

Although Han Jingrui's face remained expressionless, a hint of surprise and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. The father he had always disliked seemed to have a childish nature at this moment.

At this time, the county magistrate and the village head were still nervous about what had just happened and were completely unaware of the prefect's little trick.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the prefect go out.

But at this time, Han Jingrui did not leave.

He still stood quietly at the kitchen door, his eyes fixed on her, his expression still cold, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Su Panpan didn't talk to him either, but just busy herself with her own things.

The sunlight slanted in through the window and covered Su Panpan like a golden veil.

There is a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere in the air.

She is making pan-fried grass carp cubes.

Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pot. When the oil is hot, gently place the marinated fish into the pot.

The grass carp sizzles in the hot oil.

After frying and shaping, Su Panpan carefully turned the hairtail fish to ensure even heating.

As time goes by, both sides of the hairtail fish gradually become golden and crispy.

The golden color shimmered slightly under the light, and the fish skin curled up slightly, revealing the tender and juicy fish meat inside.

Su Panpan lightly sprinkled some pepper and salt on it. The light taste of pepper and salt blended with the fresh fragrance of the fish, exuding an enticing aroma.

Su Panpan picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a moderate salty and fragrant taste and a rich texture.

Inadvertently, Su Panpan's eyes fell on Han Jingrui who was standing quietly at the kitchen door.

Her heart moved, and she picked up a piece of fried fish as if possessed by a ghost and slowly walked towards Han Jingrui.

Han Jingrui was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashed in his cold eyes, and his fingers moved unconsciously.

Su Panpan looked at him and put the fish to his mouth.

Han Jingrui hesitated for a moment. He was aloof by nature and had never been so intimate with anyone before.

However, looking at Su Panpan's expectant eyes, his heart softened inexplicably.

A complex emotion surged in his heart, including surprise, warmth, and a throbbing that he had never experienced before.

He didn't know why he reacted this way, but at this moment, he didn't want to refuse.

In the end, he did not refuse. He opened his mouth slightly and let Su Panpan put the fish piece into his mouth.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, their eyes met, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

Outside the window, a few birds were singing happily.

Han Jingrui savored the fish in his mouth carefully. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of saltiness and fragrance.

Su Panpan looked at him expectantly.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling quietly spread between the two people's hearts.

"Well, it's okay." Han Jingrui said lightly.
