Chapter 152: Stewed Pork Ribs
Ye Lulu was speechless when she woke up after hearing that incomparably loud call of ‘wife.’
The most lovey-dovey couple in their family was Father Guan and Mother Rong.
After another chaotic battle, Mother Rong finally woke up. She staggered into Ye Lulu’s house and hugged the eldest grandson while crying. She was almost scared out of her wits.
That night, they thought back to the time when Guan Chibei was dead and Ye Lulu had a difficult labor. Her stomach was shockingly big, but her breath was weak and she lay there without any movements in her stomach.
Mother Rong had thought that Guan Chibei, his wife, and his children were going to die.
Fortunately, there was another chance of survival in the end. Ye Lulu gave birth to three children with great difficulty.
Mother Rong still remembered how difficult it was. She even knelt down and begged the heavens. If the triplets that she obtained like this were to be stolen, wouldn’t it be like gouging out her heart?
The joy from doing business in the day was completely seized. After the family survived the disaster, she held Ye Lulu’s hand tightly, grateful that she had risked her life to chase after the child.
After this incident, the matter of the Guan family building a wall as a form of defense was officially put on the agenda.
…
The next day, Mother Rong and the rest went out to set up the stall again. Now, they had to make the most of their time to earn money and try to rebuild their house quickly.
Guan Chibei and Guan Chixi stayed behind and started to dig the pond at home.
The village was bustling with activity today. Many people from families had been mobilized.
As it had rained yesterday, there were many mushrooms and wild vegetables growing today!
Winter was coming soon and it was time to stockpile all kinds of mushrooms and vegetables. All the women rushed out to pick mushrooms.
Even Mother Rong left Eldest sister-in-law Guan behind for this.
Firstly, she was still afraid of what had happened yesterday. It was better to have a woman at home taking care of Ye Lulu. Secondly, she asked Eldest sister-in-law Guan to take care of the house.
After finishing the housework, Eldest sister-in-law Guan saw that there was still enough time. She instructed Guan Chibei to look after Ye Lulu before leaving with the basket on her back.
As expected, new mushrooms were everywhere. They had already sprouted throughout the mountains overnight, making them look fresh and big.
Eldest sister-in-Law Guan was agile and quickly joined in the picking of mushrooms.
As Guan Chibei often went up the mountain, Eldest sister-in-law Guan became bolder and walked deeper. Apart from picking a whole basket of mushrooms, she also dug up a few large mountain herbs.
Late in the afternoon, Eldest sister-in-law Guan returned to the Guan family. She put down her things and washed her hands. She entered Ye Lulu’s house and asked her what she wanted to eat.
Ye Lulu thought of nourishing food in her head for a moment before replying, “Stewed pork ribs.”
Guan Chibei followed them in. When he heard this, he took a wild hare to the butcher in the village to exchange for pork ribs.
When the villagers saw him walking home with the pork ribs, their eyes were filled with envy.
On a cold and quiet day like this, eating stewed pork ribs was the greatest enjoyment.
And it was nourishing.
There were different methods of cooking stewed pork ribs. The one that had a lighter taste was prepared using a method from the north. Yuan City was located at the border between the north and south, and it was a transportation hub. Both methods were used.
However, based on Ye Lulu’s body and the cold weather at times, they prepared the one with a lighter taste.
The natural and fresh pork ribs were chopped into pieces and washed clean. First, they were blanched and scooped out after the bloody foam was removed. Then, they were washed clean again.
Following that, the pork ribs were placed into the casserole. The Guan family didn’t have a casserole initially. After setting up the stall, they bought a new casserole to try out new dishes and improve their cooking skills.
