The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi first rubbed the pig intestines with flour several times, then turned them inside out to remove the fat inside. She then rubbed and washed them several more times until all the flour was used up. Only then did she take a careful sniff. "Hmm, not bad, there's no smell at all. Half the deliciousness is done!"

Xin Yi carried a full basin of cleaned pig intestines to the kitchen. Luckily, Feng Hua's stove had two burners, so she could use another pot to blanch the pig intestines.

"Auntie, let's have this braised meat for dinner, and make some hand-pulled noodles for the main course. We also need to make another bowl of flour."

Feng Hua stood up. "One bowl isn't enough, we need at least two!"

"Huh? Auntie, you have such a big appetite!"

"What are you thinking? It's that brat coming, and that Meng family kid is always with him, so he'll most likely be here too! That means we'll need at least four bowls of flour. Alright, you watch the fire, I'll go get the flour!"

After Feng Hua finished speaking, she took a large iron basin and went outside, presumably to get flour from the cellar.

Xin Yi put cold water into the pot, then added chopped scallions and ginger, and poured in a little white wine. Next, she put the pig intestines into the pot, skimmed off the foam after the water boiled, and took them out after cooking for about five minutes.

Next, slightly modify the pig intestines, cutting them into sections, and put them back into the pot with the simmering bones and pig's feet to continue braising.

As soon as Feng Hua returned, she smelled an unpleasant odor. "Yi Yi, this doesn't smell like pig intestines, does it? It's not particularly smelly, but it's still a bit unpleasant. Are you sure it will taste good?"

While skimming the foam off the surface of the pot with a spatula, Xin Yi replied, "Don't worry, Auntie, you'll see in a bit!"

Feng Hua had just finished mixing the flour and was about to knead it. Xin Yi looked at her and didn't think she was the type to do heavy work. Besides, a doctor's hands are very precious and usually need to be well cared for.

"Auntie, let me knead the dough. You go check the fire. Don't turn it too high. Let the meat in the pot simmer slowly until it's flavorful."

Feng Hua wasn't being coy. Knowing that Xin Yi was protecting her hands, she didn't refuse. "Alright then, I'll take over when you get tired of massaging. Don't tire yourself out!"

"Ok!"

Xin Yi obediently agreed, but in her heart she didn't take kneading dough seriously at all. Especially after her superpower was upgraded to the initial level, her physical fitness was improving every day. She was ready to get started right away. She rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and prepared to get to work.

Fortunately, Feng Hua had already prepared the appropriate amount of water; otherwise, Xin Yi would have had to expend a lot of effort. The main reason was that she didn't want Feng Hua to see her embarrassing situation of adding too much water and flour, and then adding more water when she added too much flour.

Xin Yi got into position and was ready to make her move.

"Yiyi, I'm here!"

It turned out that Feng Yi had arrived. Seeing that this brat only cared about his girlfriend and left his aunt out in the cold, Feng Hua looked hurt. "Yi'er, don't you even see your aunt? I'm so sad and heartbroken!"

Feng Yi said in a serious tone, "Auntie, mind your image!"

"Hehehe..."

Feng Hua tucked her hair behind her ear, feeling a little embarrassed. "You guys chat, just pretend I'm not here!"

Xin Yi also found the way the two aunt and nephew got along particularly interesting.

"Alright, stop arguing with your aunt. We're just in time. Help me knead the dough; we'll be eating it soon!"

"Oh!"

Feng Yi agreed and rolled up his sleeves, ready to get started.

"Hey, what are you doing? Kneading dough without washing your hands?"

"Oh, I forgot! I'll wash it right away!"

Xin Yi ignored him and walked over to Feng Hua, sitting down in a makeshift manner. "Auntie, when did you inform Feng Yi? How come I didn't know?"

"I don't know either. Could it be that you two are on the same wavelength?"

"aunt......"

If there were emojis available, Xin Yi would definitely choose an awkward one.

Feng Hua laughed heartily and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I have a telephone at home. I heard you were going to cook a fancy dish, so I thought I'd invite him to try it too. That's why I called the police station to notify him. It shows that I, as his aunt, still care about him."

Xin Yi knew exactly what Feng Hua was thinking. He was just worried that her cooking was too bad and wanted someone to share the hardship with. But he probably miscalculated. If there wasn't enough food later, she wouldn't be able to blame herself.

Feng Yi was focused on kneading the dough; to make the noodles chewy, he definitely had to put in the effort.

"Auntie, do you have any eggs at home?"

"Yes, it's in the cupboard. I'll go get it for you!"

"No, I'll go by myself!"

Xin Yi stood up, opened the cupboard, counted them, and found there were only seven eggs left, so she took them all out.

"Brother Feng, crack four eggs into the dough, then knead it for a little while longer!"

Although Feng Yi was puzzled, he still followed Xin Yi's instructions. However, Feng Hua couldn't help but ask, "Yi Yi, why do you have to mix the eggs into the dough? Wouldn't it be better to make a fried egg later?"

At this moment, Feng Hua looked at Xin Yi with the seriousness of a curious child. Xin Yi had no choice but to explain, "Auntie, adding eggs makes the noodles more chewy, reduces sticking, and is also more nutritious!"

"Is that so? I've never heard of such a thing before!"

"We'll know if it's right after we try it!"

While they were talking, Xin Yi washed the remaining three eggs and threw them into the pot.

Although Feng Hua saw it, she didn't say anything. However, she thought that this girl's hands were really wide. She wondered what kind of family could afford to raise such a girl. However, she thought that her disobedient nephew had to work hard, otherwise he might not be able to support this girl!

Xin Yi saw that the time was almost up, so she lifted the lid of the pot, and an enticing aroma wafted out.

"Yes, that's the taste!"

Xin Yi took a plate, picked up a pig intestine, cut it into small pieces with scissors, and came to Feng Yi's side.

"Open your mouth!"

Feng Yi obediently opened his mouth and felt Xin Yi feed him something. His first reaction was to swallow it whole, savoring the taste in his mouth. It seemed quite delicious. He looked down at it.

"Yiyi, what is this? It tastes pretty good!"

“It’s delicious!”

Feng Yi nodded quickly, and Xin Yi fed him another piece. This time, Feng Yi chewed it carefully. It was full of meat flavor, had a unique texture, and tasted delicious.

"Yiyi, did you make this? Is it meat?"

"Yes, that's pig intestines!"

"Huh? Pig intestines can taste this good?"

"I can't guarantee it for others, but I can definitely make it delicious! However, some people might not be able to enjoy it!"

After speaking, she glanced at Feng Hua beside her. Feng Hua watched as Feng Yi ate a piece, and thought she was just trying to flatter her. But then she ate another piece, and her blissful expression didn't seem fake. Feng Hua hesitated, wondering if she should try it too.
