Chapter 13 Braised Pork Belly with Dried Preserved Mustard Greens

When Mo Liuyun came out of the room, she had already changed into women's clothing and removed her makeup. Lian'er looked at her face and couldn't help but feel disappointed again.

"If only the freckles on your face could be removed, you would be so beautiful."

After saying that, fearing it would upset Mo Liuyun, she hurriedly explained:

"Miss, I'm not saying you're not pretty. You look great the way you are. In Lian'er's heart, you're the most beautiful!"

Mo Liuyun chuckled and said, "It's alright. Your young lady has a way to heal her face. Let me tell you a secret, but you mustn't tell anyone. Your young lady used to study medicine under a master. However, her master was a reclusive master who made me swear that I would never reveal my medical skills to anyone unless absolutely necessary!"

"Really? Miss, you're amazing! Lian'er promises to keep this a secret, I won't tell even if you kill me," Lian'er assured her.

"Alright, didn't you say you had something important to tell me? What is it?" Mo Liuyun asked.

"Young Master came over secretly this afternoon. He said he heard that the border is in good condition and the general is coming back soon. However, my uncle is seriously injured and may return in the next few days for treatment. Young Master said he will come again later tonight," Lian'er said.

Mo Liuyun thought for a moment. Originally, she planned to make money first, but now the most important thing was to save her maternal grandfather first, and then her maternal uncle. She hoped that her maternal grandfather's family could be safe and sound! With this in mind, Mo Liuyun decided to check her space that night to see if there were any healing medicines. She also needed to accumulate 1000 faith points as soon as possible to upgrade the spirit spring.

"Lian'er, is the water ready? What are we having for dinner?" Mo Liuyun asked.

"Miss, I've washed the marinated meat. Let's stew it later!" Lian'er said happily. Mo Liuyun, thinking that Lian'er meant stewing meat with soybean paste and boiling water, was speechless. After a moment's thought, he said:

"I'll do it. Go to the main kitchen and get some pickled dried vegetables. We're having braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens today!"

Lian'er's eyes lit up at the mention of delicious food: "I'm going right now!" She then opened the door and ran out.

Mo Liuyun added from behind, "Remember to bring rice back, so you don't have to cook it again!"

"okay!"

While Lian'er was away, I first took out the scallions, ginger, and garlic from my space. I sliced ​​the ginger into shreds, peeled and sliced ​​the garlic, and cut the scallions into rings. Then I cut the meat into large cubes, took some soy sauce from my space, and colored the meat. Then I heated oil in a wok and fried the pork until the skin hardened and the lean meat turned yellow. I took it out, put it in a bowl, and added cold water. The meat needs to be soaked in water after frying so that it can develop a tiger-skin pattern.

Mo Liuyun ladled out the excess oil from the pot, leaving a little at the bottom. He added two star anise, then scallions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry until the oil was fragrant. He then threw the residue into his spatial storage, intending to deal with it later that night, so as not to waste words explaining to Lian'er.

After finishing all that, Lian'er returned, bringing back a bowl of soaked preserved mustard greens. Lian'er said happily, "The kitchen was making pickled vegetables today, so I took some that were soaked, along with some rice!"

"Hmm, that saves me time soaking. By the way, after you finish eating, go tell the Second Madam that I'm going to see Mother tomorrow." I suppose Father is coming back soon, and Mother should be able to be released too.

"Okay, Miss, what happened to this meat? The skin is covered in bubbles?" Lian'er asked curiously.

"That's deep-fried, I'll teach you next time." Mo Liuyun took out the meat and cut it into thin, even slices, placing them skin-side down in a large bowl for later use. Then, she heated oil in a wok and stir-fried the preserved mustard greens. She tasted a little halfway through and found it wasn't salty enough, so she added a little salt and a little sugar, stir-frying it until it was glossy. She then poured the glossy preserved mustard greens into the large bowl with the meat, flattening the surface with a spoon. She added water to the pot, placed a steamer on it, and put the rice on top as well. She covered the bowl with a large plate to prevent water from getting in during steaming. Ah, what can you do when there's no plastic wrap in ancient times?

After steaming over high heat for half an hour, the aroma of preserved mustard greens and meat wafted out when the steamer lid was opened.

Lian'er's eyes sparkled: "Miss, this braised pork smells so good! You're amazing!"

"Go and clean the stone table in the yard outside. We'll eat outside; it'll be cooler at night with the breeze."

"Yes, Miss." Lian'er quickly went out with a rag to wipe the table and set out the bowls and chopsticks. After Mo Liuyun had Lian'er take the rice out, she brought up the bowl of dried plum vegetables. She wrapped her hands in a cloth, pinched the plate on top and the edge of the bowl underneath, and quickly flipped the bowl over. Then she placed it on the stove and slowly removed the bowl. On the large plate were neatly arranged slices of meat, the skin red and trembling.

*Gulp* Lian'er couldn't help but swallow. Mo Liuyun chuckled and told Lian'er to take the dishes outside. The two began to eat. Lian'er looked at the meat but didn't dare touch it. Mo Liuyun picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.

"Try it, is it good?"

Lian'er picked up the meat with her chopsticks, feeling as if it would break if she used too much force. She put half of it in her mouth first, her eyes widening. This meat was so delicious! It melted in her mouth, soft and tender, with the aroma of preserved mustard greens. Lian'er put the other half into her mouth and shoveled a big mouthful of rice into her mouth: "Miss, it's delicious, you should eat it."

"Help yourselves. It's just the two of us, so eat more," Mo Liuyun said.

Lian'er nodded, picked up another piece and put it in her bowl. Then, as if remembering something, she ran to the kitchen, took out a bowl, quickly picked up seven or eight pieces of meat, and added some preserved mustard greens.

"Lian'er, what are you doing? Are you saving it for tomorrow?" Mo Liuyun asked.

"No, I'm saving some for the young master. This meat is so delicious, and he said he'd come over tonight," Lian'er said.

Mo Liuyun raised his hand and patted Lian'er's head. What a kind-hearted silly girl.

Lian'er put the vegetables in the steamer, and then the two of them started eating again. They ate their fill, which made Wushuang in the tree very hungry. That braised pork smelled so good! And today the wind was favorable, so the smell could be smelled from far away.

Wind: Is it my fault?!

Wushuang thought of his master's words. Not only for completing the mission, but also for such delicious food, he had to get close to Miss Mo as soon as possible.

What method could be used? Sell himself to bury his father? No, that requires his father to die first! But where would he find a father?

The young master was rescued from his predicament? And then he offered himself to her?! No way! No way! The master would definitely break his legs, and possibly even his third leg! Just as Wushuang was racking her brains, pulling out several strands of hair, Mo Liujin arrived. Mo Liuyun took him to the room first, and Lian'er brought up the food.

"Sister, how did you know I hadn't eaten?" Mo Liujin asked happily. Mo Liuyun replied: "Can I say that this is just a beautiful misunderstanding?"

"This is freshly made braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens today. Would you like to try it and see if you like it?"

"Mmm, delicious, sister, it's so delicious! I came over while they were eating, saying I wasn't feeling well and hadn't eaten," Mo Liujin said.

"Eat your food first. Lian'er told me that I plan to visit my maternal grandfather tomorrow. If you have any ideas for the future, think about them and tell your older sister. Don't worry about anything else. You're still young. Just grow up well," Mo Liuyun said.

After finishing his meal, Mo Liujin and his sister chatted for a while. Mo Liuyun saw him out, and Mo Liujin suddenly said, "Sister, I want to learn martial arts! Can you find me a master?! I want to protect you and Mother when Father isn't around!"

Mo Liuyun felt a warmth in his heart. An eight-year-old child said he would protect her, which showed how important she was to him!

"Alright, sister, I promise you, but it can't be rushed. It has to be suitable, and the person has to have good character," Mo Liuyun said. You'd better go back quickly, lest you get caught!

Wushuang's eyes lit up in the distant tree: Hehe, the opportunity has come, my good disciple, your master is here!
