Chapter 1359: Chapter 534: Chen Yan: The Law of Conservation of Harm! Achievement Unlocked: A World Where Only 34B Gets Hurt!
"Sweetheart, it stinks here, why are you staying? Go and sunbathe with your grandma and the others. If you like animals, you can wait for the sheep to arrive this afternoon and keep watch then."
Sheep?
Dundun’s eyes darted around before hopping onto the ground. After watching the pig slaughter for a while, he wandered to the sunniest and wind-sheltered spot at the entrance of the dining room, joining a few elderly ladies to soak up the sun.
Around noon, after finishing everything, Lin Xu took off his camouflage clothing and headed into the kitchen.
At that moment, Shi Wenming had already made a pot of sauerkraut white meat stew with blood sausage using home-pickled sour cabbage. It also had plenty of vermicelli, making it a truly classic Northeast pig-slaughter dish.
Additionally, there were sliced belly meat, deboned meat from bones, blood sausage cut into small segments, and heart-protecting meat cooked and cut into chunks.
These meats, paired with garlic paste mixed with soy sauce and vinegar, became the eye-catching presence on the dining table.
Lin Xu donned an apron and started making his grandma’s favorite two-tone tofu.
He cut the pig blood and tofu into cubes, blanched them in boiling salted water, and then set them aside to drain. Next, he prepared minced scallion, ginger, garlic, and dried chili slices, added pork grease to the pan, and began cooking.
After serving it, he then trimmed and sliced the pork liver, creating a dish with a rich sauce called fried liver.
Next, he made stir-fried chili meat, garlic shoot meat shreds, fried pork, and other dishes.
Once everything was ready, lunch officially began.
At this point, Chen Shaokang and the others were already full, and led by Shen Jiayue, they went to the reservoir side to play Pao.
That area has a large water surface, making it the best place in the whole scenic area to play with Pao.
In the dining room, Lin Hongqi was pouring a pitcher of sorghum liquor bought from a neighboring village, filling everyone’s glass, saying:
"This sorghum liquor is completely fermented using traditional methods, then distilled. It’s all for personal consumption. Last time I sweet-talked them into selling me ten catties, but they wouldn’t let me spread the word."
Shen Guofu asked curiously:
"Why?"
"It’s traditionally brewed before New Year for personal consumption, not for sale. I’ve just been friends long enough to score some."
Old Shen, who is also knowledgeable about liquor, sniffed it and said:
"The flavor is indeed good, quite rich."
With glasses full, everyone began toasting and drinking.
Lin Xu tasted the two-tone tofu and fried liver he made himself, and they both turned out great. The ingredients truly enhance the dishes wonderfully.
Lin Grandma adored the two-tone tofu:
"My grandson’s skill is amazing; he’s made this tofu taste even better than meat."
Elderly people don’t like eating meat, preferring these less greasy yet still aromatic dishes.
Shi Wenming sipped some liquor, dipped heart-protecting meat into garlic paste, put it in his mouth, and while chewing, asked Lin Xu:
"Xiao Xu, all the pork lung has been stewed; what’s the plan for the afternoon?"
Lin Xu dipped meat slices into garlic paste, savoring the fresh flavor, replied:
"In the afternoon, we’ll distribute the meat, and also ready the dishes for tomorrow’s celebratory feast. Uncle, you need to call some master chefs from the village; just the few of us won’t cut it."
Among those present, many can cook, but only Shi Wenming can handle celebratory feasts.
Jia Xingwang knows somewhat, but he can only lend a hand, grasping big pots and such is beyond him.
Therefore, we must invite several village banquet chefs here, as it’s their expertise. Only they can fully utilize the ingredients’ advantages.
Upon hearing this, Chen Meijuan said:
"It’s all arranged; people will come after lunch, and the ingredients will be delivered too. In the afternoon, your second uncle will catch some fish from the reservoir, then buy chickens, ducks, geese, and goats from the village – that’s pretty much it."
The rural celebratory feast has developed into a set pattern.
Typically, it includes whole chicken, whole fish, pig knuckles, and other major dishes, while other dishes are relatively flexible.
Regardless, meat dishes can’t be lacking.
Also, since this feast is to entertain friends and relatives who can’t attend the Beijing wedding, it must be somewhat grand in form.
And having slaughtered so many pigs, they definitely need to be used.
Shi Wenming said:
"With how fresh our pork is, we should steam some stuffed rolls this afternoon."
Shen Guofu curiously asked:
"What are stuffed rolls?"
"It’s egg skin wrapped with meat filling, steamed until done. You eat it sliced, dipped in garlic paste, can be eaten hot or cold. It’s somewhat popular in Northern Zhongyuan, not much seen elsewhere, but it’s not unheard of."
The dish mentioned, similar to tofu skin wrapped meat, differs by using egg skins instead of tofu skins, making it exceptionally flavorful.
Lin Xu said:
"Steam a lot this afternoon, also prepare stuffed lotus root, eggplant stuffed, tofu stuffed, cabbage rolls, and the like. With the holiday coming, let’s all indulge in some meat."
This excited Shen Guofu:
"Indeed, you must eat plenty of meat during the holidays; without meat, there’s no sense of celebration."
Han Shuzhen glanced at her husband teasingly; enjoy your moment in the crowd, but not getting up for the morning hike, I’ll deal with you then!
Remembering the Shen family traditions, she laughed and said:
"Xiao Xu, don’t forget the crystal sugar pig knuckle; that’s our family’s tradition."
"Haven’t forgotten, already ordered two boxes of pig knuckles."
As they discussed, at Lin Ji’s Food in Beijing, Chen Yan eagerly awaited the big bone to finish cooking.
Arranging the big bone and freshly fried pork grease on the table, she set out several dipping dishes.
Chen Yan snapped a photo with her phone and uploaded it to the group [Bra Sizes Don’t Shrink Among Good Sisters]:
"Looking at Yueyue and her husband enjoying pig slaughter dishes at home made me crave it, so I asked Chef Wei to prepare big bones and pork grease too.@Qiqi @Xiao Qing, do you guys want to try it? It’s delicious!"
Zeng Xiaoqi replied with a sweating emoji:
"Yan Baobao, do you have to be so ruthless?"
Xiao Qing added a white flag emoji:
"Why drag us mere mortals into god-level conflicts? I’m taking the high-speed train home for the holiday and have been bombarded with goodies since this morning non-stop; please stop your powers—high-speed train passengers can’t take it anymore..."
Previously, whether Shen Jiayue or Chen Yuanyuan stirred things up, neither commented in the group.
It’s different now; Chen Yan not only stirred things up, but directly mentioned them.
Is there no justice?
No law?
Shu Yun sent a giggling emoji, followed by:
"I’m fulfilled in a world where only 34B suffers."
Zeng Xiaoqi: ??????????
Xiao Qing: ???????????????
Leaving the group!
I don’t want to stay in this lousy group even for a minute!!!!
