How to eat pineapple buns on the immigration ship

Chapter 283 The Pork Party in the Courtyard
Evening, in the courtyard of the Xiang family.

At dinner time, the students of Class 8, Grade 11, were still tirelessly helping Xiangchuan organize materials. After all, they were obliged to help, and in the afternoon they not only tasted the bread that Xiangchuan and the others had successfully baked for the first time, but they would also be able to eat pork in the evening.

Since we've already agreed to help Kagawa, we can't just eat at Kagawa's house for free!
Moreover, they are also very interested in the content of these documents.

Looking at their excited expressions, Kagawa seemed to see the fearless college freshmen of the 21st century.

The difference lies in the fact that the drive of 21st-century college students stems from their yearning for college life and the sense of liberation from finally escaping the college entrance examination, while the motivation of these kids who are still a year or two away from adulthood comes from their gluttonous desire to eat more delicious food.

...Compared to that, modern teenagers seem to be more innocent than the naive college students of the 21st century.

Kagawa muttered to himself.

Even after Mr. and Mrs. Xiang Weiguo returned from get off work, the courtyard continued to be filled with a lively and somewhat noisy atmosphere.

In the past two days, Yuexiang Group's takeout business revenue has been soaring. Xiang Weiguo has been busy but happy. So today, he is treating the pork that he finally managed to get from the Agricultural Bureau to his eldest daughter, who had prepared in advance, and his youngest daughter, who worked hard on the live broadcast.

Of course, Kagawa had already told him at noon that the students in Class 8 of the first year of high school would probably be having dinner at home tonight, so he naturally didn't forget to bring a portion for his daughter's classmates as well.

When the agricultural bureau staff who were negotiating the experimental field cooperation project at Yuexiang Group heard that the young girl who provided the documentary "A Bite of China" was going to treat her friends to dinner, they immediately and enthusiastically took over the wholesale of ingredients from Xiangwei Kingdom.

In the end, Xiang Weiguo brought home so much food that it required a medium-sized shipping container to hold it all.

When Kagawa saw the containers that Xiang Weiguo had brought back being transported by levitation equipment behind his car in the courtyard, he wondered if they were new ingredients sent by Yuexiang Group.

When Kagawa opened the container and saw the mountain of pork and the bamboo shoots that had almost caused a looting frenzy in the residential area the night before, the ellipsis of his speechless state could fill an entire A4 sheet of paper.

"Xiao Chuan, these bamboo shoots were brought to you by the Agriculture Bureau. They kept some as reference samples, and these are for you to try and see if you can make some dishes with the current ingredients and seasonings."

While directing Daxing to move the ingredients from the container into the kitchen, Xiang Weiguo explained the situation to Xiangchuan.

"Of course, they gave us so many bamboo shoots with some requests. They wanted to have a video recording of you processing the bamboo shoots."

Video recording?

Kagawa blinked. "Isn't it just about taking some videos for record-keeping?"

She glanced at the bamboo shoots in the container. Not bad, some of them even still had some soil on them, and they looked quite big. The Agriculture Bureau had really gone all out this time.

"That's fine. I'll have Xiaochu and Daxing help me take notes later. By the way, you don't mind if I ask Yating and the others to help out, do you?"

Kagawa turned to look at Ouyang Yating and her two companions who were with the other students behind him. The students of Class 8, Grade 11, naturally understood what was going on with the bamboo shoots in the container, and their eyes widened like light bulbs.

If it weren't for their surviving rationality telling them not to embarrass themselves in front of their classmates' elders, some of the more impulsive ones would have already gone up and started eating raw bamboo shoots to taste them.

"Of course, no problem. The Agriculture Bureau even said that it's a good thing to get more young people involved like this."

Xiang Weiguo laughed heartily and agreed.

"Speaking of which, they sent me a new draft of the cooperation proposal. You can take it and discuss it with your classmates."

As he spoke, Xiang Weiguo opened his personal terminal and projected a document onto Xiang Chuan's terminal via a pop-up screen.

A draft cooperation agreement? From the Agriculture Bureau? Is this kind of thing suitable for high school students?

Kagawa looked at Xiang Weiguo's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
-
As mentioned in "A Bite of China," bamboo shoots have a simple texture, so they don't require much effort to cook.

Moreover, with pork available, Xiangchuan didn't hesitate to have the chef and Ouyang Yating help her stir-fry several portions of bamboo shoots with pork.

Smelling the savory aroma of pork and bamboo shoots, Xiangchuan swallowed harder and harder, secretly asking the cook to scoop him two extra spoonfuls of white rice.

Because of the lack of strong-flavored seasonings, Kagawa's dishes tonight were basically a combination of pork and various vegetables, using the aroma of pork and lard to add more flavor to the vegetables.

Of course, pork and cabbage dumplings and pork buns are also indispensable.

The students of Class 8, Grade 1, and Li Wei stood outside the kitchen, watching the four of them work with the kitchen AI to cook pork. Li Wei was dumbfounded.

He had indeed seen residents of the Third Legion discussing pork on social media these past few days, but as a modern person, he simply couldn't believe that pork, which was so hard to swallow, could become a delicacy on the table.

Even after he went to the Agricultural Bureau's official website and read the relevant content about castrating pigs in the "Draft for Adjustment of Agricultural Product Production Ratio", he still found it hard to imagine: just cutting off a pig's penis could make pork taste better?
The aroma emanating from the Xiang family's kitchen, so different from beef or chicken, once again completely shattered his worldview.
-
The students of Class 8, Grade 11, still chose to have dinner in the Xiang family's courtyard. Fu Chengkai couldn't help but complain: "Why does it feel like most of our class's group meals have been outdoors or on the lawn since the field training?"

"Why don't you ask why we have group meals so often?"

Kagawa arranged the sliced ​​pork belly on the baking tray while replying to Fu Chengkai.

Among the pork that Xiang Weiguo brought this time, there was quite a bit of good quality pork belly. Xiang Chuan originally thought of rendering some lard from it, but then he remembered that this time he needed to leave video footage for the Agriculture Bureau, and it seemed a little embarrassing to leave the lard in front of the camera, so he simply used the outdoor grill to roast the pork belly.

After grilling five plates of pork belly, prepare a combination of seasonings such as pepper, salt, and chili powder, and then dinner will officially begin.

While Liwei was struggling with his bamboo shoots and pork, the students of Class 8, Grade 11, immediately reached for the grilled pork belly and lettuce with their chopsticks.

This is the legendary lettuce wrap with grilled pork belly!

The gourmands of Class 8, Grade 1, followed Kagawa's example by sprinkling their favorite seasonings on the pork belly, wrapping it in lettuce, and stuffing it into their mouths. Instantly, the entire courtyard was filled with cheers and praises.

At this moment, Rivi finally picked up a piece of pork wrapped with many bamboo shoot slices, held his breath, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, another person on the third fleet was conquered by pork.

Of course, Xiangchuan didn't neglect her family either. She had already asked Daxin to send two plates of grilled pork belly to the family dining room, and the lettuce had also been prepared by Xiaochu.

This stuff smells amazing; Xiangxue and Linming are probably going to eat a lot of it.
-
Whether it's stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork or roasted pork belly, both dishes are very appetizing, so not long after, the courtyard was filled with requests for more rice.

While Da Xing was taking away everyone's bowls to get their second bowls of rice, everyone started talking about dinner.

"I never imagined pork could taste so good," Rivi exclaimed sincerely. "When I first heard that pork here was edible, I thought the local agricultural bureau was conducting some strange experiment."

"Don't let those uncles and aunties at the Agriculture Bureau hear you say that."

Kagawa laughed.

"Let's make do with these for now. Once we have all the other seasonings and the castrated pigs are mass-produced, we might be able to eat delicious dishes like braised pig's feet, braised pork belly, and red-braised pork, each of which can bring out the best in pork."

"Alright, alright, you know these are delicious, so stop nagging."

Qiu Manman quickly patted Xiangchuan on the shoulder to stop her from continuing.

"The feeling of being able to hear but not eat is so unbearable."

"We'll just have to endure this year. Once we get to the second year of high school and the pork supply comes up, we'll make sure our homeroom teacher uses the class funds to buy us a whole pig. Then we can all make ham and those things that Kagawa was just talking about."

As Nancy spoke, her eyes couldn't help but gleam with golden light.

"No, no, no, just buy the processed ones. It's too tiring for us to butcher the pigs ourselves. Do you really want to do it a second time?"

Kagawa quickly stopped him.

To everyone's surprise, they all said in unison:

Of course.

Kagawa:……

They've all forgotten that these youngsters are native residents of the Third Fleet, and their passion for agriculture is basically similar to that of the hot-blooded, brittle college students who have just entered university in the 21st century.

No wonder they were so excited when they were asked to kill chickens and fish.

At the time, she wondered if she had made these kids decide on something bad, and she was so worried when she got home that she almost got dark circles under her eyes.

I later learned that this was just the local custom of the Third Regiment.

I recently developed cysts, and I'm finally starting the recovery phase, but sitting still is a bit uncomfortable... Everyone really needs to drink more water.
