The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

After finishing his meal, Shen Qing suddenly remembered that his older sister hadn't made pig intestines for dinner. "Big sister, why didn't you make pig intestines for dinner?"

Shen Cao playfully pinched his nose. "You little rascal, I didn't expect you to find out."

"You'll find out tomorrow." Shen Cao mysteriously entered the kitchen.

The next morning, as soon as Shen Qing got up, he started asking why his older sister had gone to the kitchen so mysteriously the night before.

Shen Cao ignored him for a while, but when it was time for breakfast, she took out the sliced ​​pork belly and placed it in front of Shen Qing, saying, "Here, have a taste."

Shen Qing looked at the golden-brown exterior and tender white interior of the pork intestines cut into rings. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The first taste was a smoky flavor with fruity wood aroma. The pork intestines were braised to perfection, soft and tender, with the fat inside melting in his mouth. The thick casing had a slight chewiness. Compared to freshly braised pork intestines, it had a more smoky flavor and a more resilient texture.

If the pig intestines I ate yesterday still had a faint, barely perceptible taste of the intestines themselves, then the smoked intestines had absolutely no unpleasant odor, and tasted several layers more flavorful than the ones I had just braised yesterday.

"Sister, you're amazing! This tastes so much better than yesterday's!"

"There's absolutely no smell of intestines left."

Shen Cao had eaten it last night, and it was indeed delicious. This was her first time making Bangbangrou. She had only watched the master chef make it before and had never tried it herself. She never expected that she would succeed on her first try.

This is similar to the principle of smoking cured meat in her hometown. She has smoked cured meat so many times, so this is naturally no problem for her.

My older brother can now get out of bed and walk, so Shen Qing is staying home with him today.

Shen's mother and Shen Cao went to the county town together. They got the house keys and all that was left was to clean the house before the family could move in.

Shen's mother went to the new house to clean.

It's quite inconvenient to travel between the county town and Shitou Village every day, as it takes three hours to go there and back.

Moreover, Shen Cao needed to carry a lot of spice jars this time. Although there was a cart, the country roads were bumpy and jolted terribly.

She tried it in the kitchen, putting all the spice jars into the storage space, planning to take them out secretly later.

Having prepared everything and left lunch, Shen Cao took her younger sister and mother to the county town.

She sent her mother to her new home first, and then took her younger sister to the dock.

She set up her stall, spread out the braised meat, and the aroma of braised meat wafted out.

"It smells so good! Is this the new food the little girl mentioned yesterday?"

"Yes." Shen Cao looked at the somewhat familiar customer, who seemed to be the customer who hadn't been able to buy vegetable dumplings yesterday.

"We've added cold braised pork and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) to our menu today."

"Cold braised pork is fifteen coins a pound, and a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is four coins each," Shen Wan introduced to the crowd.

"My sister said that today is the first day, braised pork is three coins cheaper per pound. Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) is one coin cheaper each."

The group initially thought the price was a bit expensive, since they had never eaten there before and were worried that it might not taste good, which would be a waste of money.

But when I heard it was cheap on the first day, I thought I'd buy some to try, since it didn't cost much anyway.

"Only thirty roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) are available, while supplies last." Shen Cao only has enough meat to make thirty roujiamo.

"Give me half a pound of cold braised pork, and two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers)."

"Sir, if you buy a pound of cold braised pork, we'll give you two free pancakes. We don't give you free half a pound. Would you like to buy a pound?" Shen Cao suggested when she saw that the customer had ordered two servings of the new dish.

"Okay, then one pound of cold braised pork and two roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) will do." The customer was quite generous, probably because he had just received his wages and wanted to treat himself.

Shen Cao quickly sliced ​​a pound of cold braised meat for the customer, including pork heart, pork liver, pork stomach, and some braised pork belly.

After mixing, the cold braised meat was packaged in parchment paper and handed to the customer.

"Eighteen coins in total."

After receiving the money, Shen Cao continued to serve the next customer.

I was busy all morning; all fifteen jin of braised meat were sold out, and only two of the two hundred vegetable dumplings were left.

Today's income is 740 coins, the largest sum of money I've ever made.

She had promised to save some braised pork for Shen Yu'an yesterday, and she also wrapped up the remaining braised pork.

For his main course, they left him a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and four vegetable dumplings.

I haven't seen Wei Siyu recently; I suppose he's been too busy and has already left Xin'an County.

The two sisters pushed the stroller to their new home.

After putting the stroller away, Shen Cao said goodbye to her mother and went to Wan'an Hall.

Shen Yu'an wasn't there, so she left the food for the innkeeper and left.

Her family is waiting for her to eat.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw my father there. "Dad, what brings you here?"

"It's not lunchtime, so I came to take a look."

"Dad, have you eaten?"

"No, I'm waiting for you to eat together."

Shen Cao took out the cold braised meat and flatbread that she had specially saved, and the family enjoyed a simple and delicious lunch.

Shen Yu'an was summoned by Wei Siyu early in the morning, who said that Wei Siyu had discovered a beautiful place while sailing and wanted him to go and see it.

The two of them set off on horseback early in the morning and didn't arrive until noon. The place was indeed beautiful, but it was in the middle of nowhere. He hadn't eaten a single bite of food all morning and was starving.

This Wei Siyu is indeed unreliable; he shouldn't have trusted him.

I had just finished washing up and changing my clothes when the shopkeeper came over with a bag of things.

"Young Master Shen, Miss Shen brought this over at noon."

"She said it was food she had promised to save for the young master yesterday."

"It smells quite nice to me." The shopkeeper had always heard that this Miss Shen could cook, but he had never had the chance to try it.

Seeing that the young master was about to go out for dinner, he figured he wouldn't be eating the food, which meant he wouldn't be able to enjoy a good meal today.

When Shen Yu'an heard that it was brought by Shen Cao, and that it was the new product she had mentioned yesterday, she was surprised.

I can't miss this opportunity. I'll let Wei Siyu try it later and let him know how good I am to him.

Shen Yu'an took the food and left without looking back.

The shopkeeper stood there dumbfounded for a long time. Wasn't the young master going out to eat? Why didn't he leave the food for himself?

Does the young master no longer love him?

The waiter in the lobby walked up to the shopkeeper and looked in the direction of the shopkeeper's gaze, but there was nothing there. Had his shopkeeper forgotten to take his medicine before going out today?

The servant shook his head and left.

Inside Chunmanlou, Wei Siyu and Shen Yu'an opened the food that Shen Cao had given them while waiting for their meal.

One package contained a bunch of meat whose contents were unclear, another package contained vegetable dumplings that we had eaten before, and the third package contained a pancake that seemed to have something stuffed inside.

Both of them first picked up their usual vegetable dumplings and took a bite. Mmm, it still tasted the same as before, delicious.

After finishing the vegetable dumplings, Shen Yu'an divided the pancake in half, giving one half to each person.

I took a bite, and it was a little cold, but that didn't affect how delicious it was.

The first bite is filled with the fragrant aroma of braised meat. The minced meat is full of braised flavor and tastes delicious, a hundred times better than any braised meat he had ever eaten before.

After finishing their roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), the two of them reached for the cold braised pork with their chopsticks.

Before they could even finish eating, the two realized they had already run out of food.

Shen Yu'an was filled with regret; she should have secretly stayed home and eaten it.

This portion is clearly meant for one person.
