After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 109 Let’s make braised pork

Lin Xi heard the news of Er Xi's return, and came to the front hall with Lin Wushang.

As soon as Erxi saw her, she got off the kang, stepped forward to pick her up, and weighed her, "Xibao has gained weight again."

In this era when many people don't have enough to eat, saying someone has gained weight is a compliment.

Lin Xi came from the end of the world and thinks the same way in this regard. It would be great to be fat and white.

She was very satisfied with her body shape, and she often couldn't put it down when squeezing her fleshy arms.

Hearing Er Xi praise her, she raised her chubby pink and porcelain face, which made Er Xi couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Lin Xi reluctantly refused, saying that she could hug her but not kiss her.

She put her little hand against Er Xi's face to prevent him from kissing her, and even slipped away from him.

Er Xi showed a sad expression and pretended to be sad: "Does Xibao not like second brother anymore?"

Yuniang raised her face proudly: "Second brother, Xibao won't let anyone kiss him, except me."

Lin Xi glanced at her indulgently, not because of your young age.

The most important thing is that Yu Niang is a girl. A girl's kisses are fragrant and soft, and her lips are as soft as jelly. She still enjoys it very much.

The others laughed, and the air was filled with joy.

After laughing for a while, Erxi began to distribute gifts to everyone.

"Xibao, do you want to eat a candy man? Come on, call the second brother. Call him and he will give you this sweet candy man, okay?"

Lin Xi thought: How naive.

But he was very honest, and he called out in a babyish voice: "Second brother."

Erxi: "Hey!" It was so loud that it almost reached the back of the ears.

Lin Xi got the candy man as she wished.

"Yu Niang, this is yours, Xiaoyun, it's yours." Erxi also gave each of Yu Niang and Xiao Yun a small candy man.

Xiaoyun was very surprised, "Me too?"

Erxi smiled and nodded, "You are also a member of our family."

It's just a candy bar, not expensive. Although Xiaoyun was sent by Young Master Lin to take care of Xibao, he also helped their family a lot, so naturally he couldn't leave her behind.

The ones given to Cuiniang and Ajie are both silver hairpins, but the styles are different.

What was given to Sanfu was a square ruler, which is often used in carpentry work.

The eldest brother is given a cowhide kettle so that he can take it with him when he goes fishing or hunting, and he can have a sip of hot water at any time.

Even Lin Wushang Erxi took it into consideration and gave him a string of wooden beads.

During the limited few meetings, he found that Mr. Lin always wore a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, so he chose this gift.

"It's not a precious Buddhist bead. Don't dislike it, young master."

Lin Wushang took it and put it on immediately, "How could it be? The price of the beads does not matter, it only depends on whether you are sincere when reciting the Buddha's name. I like this string of beads very much."

The beads are ordinary, but the way people think about him is extraordinary.

Everyone in the room had gifts, but Qin Feng didn't. He was a tall man, standing in the corner like a mushroom, silently lost.

Cuiniang noticed it, but she couldn't express her concern for him in front of everyone, so she could only quietly move to his side and give him a piece of persimmon brought back by her second brother.

Qin Feng was so happy that he couldn't bear to eat the persimmons, so he wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his arms.

Cui Niang: "..." It's just a piece of persimmon cake, that's all for him.

But the corner of his mouth couldn't help but bloom into a smile.

"Cui Niang." When Cui Niang heard her second brother calling her, Cui Niang's heart skipped a beat. She thought that her affair with Qin Feng had been discovered, so she quickly stayed away from him, "Ah? What's wrong?"

Erxi handed a purse to her, "Open it and take a look."

Cuiniang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that her second brother had something to give her, but didn't he already give her a gift just now?

She thought and opened her purse.When she saw that it was full of silver dimes and copper coins, she looked at her second brother with confusion, "Second brother, what is this?"

Erxi: "Have you forgotten the package of embroidery products you gave me when I left last time? I kept them in the embroidery workshop and sold them all!

"The screen with the rabbit sniffing orchids alone sold for 20 taels! And the forehead wipes, the shopkeeper said they were selling well, and all the ladies were rushing to buy them.

"You don't know, forehead wiping has become a fashion in the county. Many female guests who come to the restaurant to eat wear it on their foreheads."

Cui Niang held the purse of silver in her hands, feeling a little unbelievable, a little happy, and a little sour.

In short, the mood is very complicated.

Lin Chunniang's face was full of pride and flushed: "My dear, one embroidered screen was sold for 20 taels. Our Cui Niang is really amazing!"

Cui Niang waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, it's not me who is good, it's Xibao who is. I embroidered the screen according to Xibao's drawings, and the pattern on the forehead was also the pattern Xibao came up with. I just embroidered them. That’s all.”

Yuniang: "Second sister and Xibao are both great! I will become a very powerful person in the future and earn a lot of money for my family."

This made everyone laugh.

Lin Xi didn't laugh because she didn't take Yu Niang's words as a joke.

She plans to formally teach Yu Niang medical skills tonight. With Yu Niang's talent in medical skills and her own teachings, she will definitely become a world-famous miracle doctor in the future.

Will it not be easy to make money by then?

The miracle doctor took action, and many people came to the door with money.

Erxi asked: "By the way Xibao, eldest brother said you asked him to make an iron pot for cooking. What is cooking?"

Lin Xi: "You will know later."

Under Lin Xi's guidance, Lin Dayou and Erxi opened the two iron pots they bought, washed them cleanly, and placed them on the stove hole.

The cauldron just fit in.

At first, the Lin family didn't understand why the stove was built like this, but now that they saw it, they suddenly understood.

Lin Xi: "Okay, let's make the first dish, braised pork."

This is a classic dish that will become a household name in later generations, and it is something that Lin Xi has been thinking about for a long time.

The ingredients and various seasonings are all ready, and if you don’t have them, use others instead.

It is worth mentioning that the spices to be used (star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc.) are not used as seasonings at this time, but as medicinal materials, so they are bought from the drug store.

It should be said that these spices themselves are Chinese herbal medicines and were later used in cooking.

The Lin family joined the battle, Lin Dayou was responsible for lighting the fire, Erxi was responsible for serving the dishes, and Lin Chunniang and her younger brothers and sisters were responsible for watching and preparing the dishes.

Everyone was staring at Lin Xi as if they were about to compete in a competition. They were all nervous and looking forward to it, just waiting for her to give the order.

Lin Xi: "It's just a stir-fry, don't be nervous. If it doesn't succeed, let Xiao Hei take care of the spoiled ingredients."

Xiao Hei tilted his head: "Woof?"

The big eyes are full of clear stupidity.

Lin Xi said to Lin Dayou: "Fire."

After a while, the fire in the stove was burning brightly and the pot was hot.

Lin Xi: "The fire should be smaller."

Then he said to Erxi: "Put the whole piece of pork belly into the pot, skin side down, and sear it until golden brown."

"After searing, wash the pork belly and cut it into mahjong-sized pieces——"

Erxi, who was about to cut the meat, asked, "What is mahjong?"

Lin Xi: "I'll tell you this later, the mahjong size is this big." She gestured with her hands.

Er Xi understood. He raised the knife and dropped it, and a square piece of pork belly was born.
