Transmigrated into a fat wife, farming, raising children, and picking up husbands

The aroma is not greasy at all; on the contrary, it makes the meat smell even more enticing.

Finally, there seems to be a very faint, just-right sweetness and fruity aroma lingering in the air, making one's mouth water.

"This...this is the aroma that can be produced from pig offal?"

Old Hu couldn't help but swallow hard, and his feet moved involuntarily toward the kitchen.

The kitchen was steaming hot.

Lin Xiuer, wearing an apron, was carefully using a pair of long chopsticks to scoop things out of the large, bubbling iron pot.

Wang helped pass the plates.

The braising liquid in the pot was thick and glossy. With Lin Xiuer's movements, sections of braised pork intestines that were reddish-brown and oily, and pieces of soft and chewy pork stomach, pork heart and pork liver were scooped out.

The steam, carrying with it an alluring and complex aroma, filled the entire kitchen.

The cooked offal was sliced ​​and arranged on two large earthenware plates. Lin Xiuer scooped up a spoonful of boiling braising sauce and poured it evenly over the offal.

The braising sauce seeps into the meat slices, releasing its aroma once again.

"Old Hu, you've come at the perfect time! Help me take this out!" Lin Xiuer called out.

Old Hu couldn't wait any longer. He practically snatched the plate from Lin Xiuer's hand and left, his eyes practically glued to the glistening, trembling braised food.

Ping An had already set up a small square table in the courtyard.

Besides this plate of freshly cooked braised offal, there was also a pot of thick millet porridge cooked by Wang, a dish of stir-fried tender wild vegetables picked today, and a dish of refreshing pickled vegetables made by Wang herself.

The cut pork intestines have a firm outer skin and a soft, chewy interior, glistening with braising sauce.

The pork belly is thick and chewy, and the pork liver is pink and tender. Each slice is soaked in a dark brown sauce and has an enticing sheen.

"Brother Hu, please have a taste!" Lin Xiuer said with a smile, handing over chopsticks.

Old Hu was so hungry he almost swallowed his tongue, so he didn't care about being polite and picked up a piece of fatty intestine and put it in his mouth.

The moment his teeth bit down, his eyes widened in shock!

Delicious! The rich, mellow aroma of the braising sauce, perfectly balanced in saltiness and savory flavor, and intensely flavorful, instantly fills the entire mouth.

The large intestine was cleaned thoroughly and had no unpleasant odor.

The outer skin has just the right amount of chewiness, while the fat inside has already been braised and melts in your mouth, perfectly combining the richness of the oil with the salty and savory flavor of the braising sauce.

The pork tripe was stewed to perfection, tender yet chewy, with a sticky texture and layers of spices permeating the mouth as you chew.

The unique blend of spices slowly unfolds in the mouth, with the slight numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns and the refreshing aroma of dill.

There are also several other indescribable herbal and spicy aromas that cleverly balance the original heaviness of the offal, bringing a wonderful sense of freshness.

The freshly sliced ​​pork liver is tender and pink, retaining the unique freshness of offal, while the salty and savory braising sauce further enhances its original flavor.

The pig's heart is firm and elastic, and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it. The best part is the aftertaste.

After swallowing, there is no greasy aftertaste in the mouth, but rather a faint aftertaste that makes you want to pick up another chopstick immediately.

"Incredible! Absolutely fucking incredible!"

Old Hu didn't even care that it was hot; he couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks, taking several bites in a row, his cheeks bulging as he mumbled his praises.

"Sister Lin, your cooking is amazing! I've eaten offal all my life, and this is the first time I've ever tasted anything like this!"

"What on earth is in this braising liquid? It smells so good!"

Ping An also picked up a piece of pig's stomach, chewed it carefully, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

The taste was truly extraordinary, rich yet not greasy, and fragrant, more complex and unforgettable than any food he had ever eaten.

He then ate several more pieces of pig stomach and pig heart, each with a different texture, yet all equally exquisite.

Lin Xiuer smiled and poured each of them a glass of wine: "Eat more if you like it! Thanks to Lao Hu for bringing such good ingredients!"

Actually, this was her first time making it; she had only eaten it before.

Although she had never done it herself before, she had seen quite a few production processes.

She watches all kinds of videos, from food and science videos to house renovations, beachcombing and mushroom picking, featuring handsome men and unsolved mysteries and thrillers.

Xiao Bao watched longingly. Lin Xiuer put the softest piece of pork liver in his bowl. The little guy blew on it before putting it in his mouth. It was so delicious that his eyes immediately narrowed into happy crescent shapes.

As dusk settled, oil lamps were lit in the courtyard.

Under the dim light, several people sat around a table, enjoying the fragrant braised dishes, refreshing side dishes, and warm rice porridge. Every now and then, Lao Hu could be heard laughing heartily.

The family enjoyed the meal immensely and was extremely satisfied.

Old Hu ate with gusto, his mouth greasy, patting his round belly and exclaiming how satisfying it was, saying it would be a shame if he didn't open a braised food shop with such skill.

Lin Xiuer just smiled and didn't reply, but in her heart she was thinking that she would have to wait until she had earned enough money to buy a shop before opening a braised food shop.

The most important thing right now is to figure out a way to deal with those thugs from the Black Fish Gang.

They've formed such a deep grudge; if we don't completely deal with them, they'll be a hidden danger in everything we do in the future.

Moreover, those people, having suffered such a great loss, will definitely not let it go.

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark, especially since I have an elderly mother and young children to take care of.

Seeing that Wang Shi and Xiao Bao had almost finished eating, Lin Xiuer said gently to Wang Shi, "Mother, you've had a long day. Take Xiao Bao back to your room to sleep. I'll clean up the dishes."

Knowing they still had something to say, Wang nodded and took the hand of Xiaobao, who was rubbing his eyes, saying, "Come on, Xiaobao, let's go back to the room and sleep with Grandma."

After Wang's door closed, only Lin Xiuer, Ping An, and Butcher Hu remained in the courtyard.

Lin Xiuer poured Hu Yidao another glass of wine, her expression turning serious: "Whether we open a shop or do business in the future, those few scoundrels from the Black Fish Gang will always be a threat."

"How much does Brother Hu know about those guys? Do you know where they're based?"

Upon hearing this, Old Hu sobered up a bit and leaned forward: "I've heard some things about those bastards."

"They were originally from nearby villages, but they were not well-liked in the villages since they were young. They were petty thieves, bullied others, and were beaten up a lot for it."

"Later, his reputation was ruined, and his family was so poor that he couldn't get married. He couldn't make a living in the village, so he came to the town to make a living."

"But they weren't exactly hard-working people. Later, these few like-minded scoundrels learned to stick together for warmth."

"They gathered together, occupied an abandoned garden that no one wanted as their hideout, established the Black Fish Gang, and started engaging in bullying and market manipulation."

"A deserted garden? Where exactly is it located?" Lin Xiuer frowned slightly. Knowing just this much wasn't enough; the more information she had, the better.

Seeing her serious expression, Old Hu also thought carefully: "It's right at the very edge of the west side of the town, next to a cemetery. That cemetery has been around for a long time."

"I heard it used to be the old residence of a high-ranking official in the capital. The patriarch of that family even rose through the ranks to become a high-ranking official in the cabinet or something similar, he was very prestigious!"

"It's a pity that they were later involved in a major case of cheating in the imperial examinations, and their whole family..."
