Chapter 54:
Murong Yue turned the pig's feet in the pot and replied to them, "These are stuffed pig's feet."
“What is stuffy pig’s feet?”
"Just use pig's feet, add seasonings and cook them together." Murong Yue heard that it was Murong Qi who asked her, so she patiently explained to him.
"Xiao, Xiaoyue, can you eat it now? Give me a piece to try?" Li Mingzhe stared at the pig's feet in the pot and swallowed hard.
"Not yet, we have to wait." Murong Yue refused directly and closed the lid to block the sight of the two of them.
The two of them were a little disappointed after hearing this, but they couldn't help but smell the fragrance.
"Help me light up the stove of the wok and get ready for cooking."
"Oh oh oh, okay." Li Mingzhe actively brought a small stool and put it under his butt, and then started to light the fire. Although he didn't know how to cook, which child in the countryside couldn't do anything at home?
After the pot was hot, Murong Yue first poured in the pork belly and sauteed until fragrant, then poured in the beans bought yesterday. After frying for a while, the beans changed color, and then added an appropriate amount of water to cook until the meat and beans were cooked.
If you eat green beans without cooking them, they will be poisonous, so it is best to cook them thoroughly before eating them.
"Xiaoyue, did you really make money yesterday?" Li Mingzhe looked at the meat in the pot and was very curious.
"Yes!" Murong Yue was noncommittal.
"Is that..."
Did he really steal something? Li Mingzhe did not tell the rest.
But Murong Yue guessed it.
Murong Yue glanced at him and directly denied, "No."
"It's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not." Li Mingzhe breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.
"Then how do you make money?" Li Mingzhe was even more curious.
"Earn money from selling herbs."
Before Murong Yue could answer, Murong Qi on the side opened his mouth to answer him.
"What herbal medicine?" Li Mingzhe blinked. How come he didn't know that the three brothers and sisters knew about herbal medicine?
"Ginseng." Murong Yue replied directly to him.
Although Li Mingzhe talks a lot, he knows what he should say and what he should not say. Murong Yue understood this after spending an afternoon together.
So I didn't hide it from him.
"Wha...what?" After hearing this, Li Mingzhe couldn't believe it and thought he heard wrongly.
"Sister said ginseng." Murong Qi repeated kindly.
Li Mingzhe was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
He looked confused and asked, "Where did ginseng come from?"
"They were dug in the mountains! Or were they picked up on the roadside?" Murong Yue said funny.
"You are so lucky. You are also from Qingquan Village. How come you were the only one to dig up ginseng?"
Murong Yue raised her eyebrows, "It's impossible for others to tell you if they dig it up!"
Who is so stupid that he shows off how much money he earns everywhere?
When Li Mingzhe said this, she felt that it made sense.
"It seems so."
Now it’s time to stir-fry the beans and stir-fry the meat.
Murong Yue originally wanted to make dried lentils, but there was no chili, so she forgot about it.
"It smells so good! Sister, can I have a bite?" Murong Qi ran to Murong Yue's side and looked at the plate of beans and meat. It was so fragrant that he could only swallow his saliva.
But he was very sensible and did not reach out to grab it directly. Instead, he raised his head and asked Murong Yue.
"Okay! Sister will clip it for you."
Unexpectedly, just as Murong Yue was about to pinch it, a hand stretched out.
Murong Yue struck the back of that hand with her chopsticks.
With a sound of "Ouch", the hand was quickly withdrawn.
"Xiaoyue, didn't you say you can eat it? Why are you hitting me? I'm your brother." Yes, this hand belongs to Li Mingzhe.
At this time, he touched the painful place from the beating and looked at Murong Yue with a sad face.
"Brother! Even at a young age, Xiao Qi knows not to reach out and take it. You are such a big man, don't you even know this?" Murong Yue glared at him angrily.
Then he ignored him and gave Murong Qi a piece of meat with his chopsticks.
"You just started cooking, blow it, be careful not to burn your mouth." Murong Yue's tone was very gentle.
"Hmm," Murong Qi followed Murong Yue's words and blew the meat to cool it down a bit before opening his mouth to bite it.
"Is it still hot?" Murong Yue was worried that he had burned his tongue.
Murong Qi kept shaking his head and said vaguely, "I'm in trouble."
"Pfft~ Eat slowly, there's more!" Murong Yue touched his head in a funny way.
Li Mingzhe, who couldn't eat any meat here, lowered his head in a depressed manner and kept rubbing the back of his beaten hand, which turned red even though it wasn't originally red.
"Here, pick it up yourself. You have to make a fire after eating!" Of course Murong Yue would not deny him food. At least she helped their family for an entire afternoon.
Li Mingzhe looked at the handed chopsticks and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Uh-huh!"
He happily took the chopsticks and nodded vigorously.
Then he couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick of pork belly and put it into his mouth.
As a result, he was so burned that he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hufu~ It's so hot."
Murong Yue looked at him speechlessly, is it useful?
"It's delicious..." While chewing, he extended his thumb to praise Murong Yue.
After eating, I wanted to pick it up, but Murong Yue took it away.
"Wait until it's time to eat."
