"What's going on?" Nie Ling'er asked curiously.

In the past, Bao'er and Qian'er quarreled at every turn. Although it was normal for half-grown girls to quarrel, their personalities were so different that they couldn't play together.

Therefore, the relationship between the cousins ​​has always been ordinary. Baoer even didn't even call her cousin, but called Nie Qian'er by her first name.

That's why Nie Ling'er can't help but feel surprised now.

Nie Baoer didn't hide it, he smiled: "I gave her a piece of jujube cake this afternoon."

That’s it!

Nie Linger understood immediately, then laughed and shook her head.

A piece of jujube cake has won people's hearts, and Nie Qian'er has no position.

If Wang knew about this, he would definitely be scolded.

And Nie Bao'er added: "But I reminded her that my sister bought the cakes with money, so let her think of you."

After saying this, Nie Baoer raised his eyebrows towards the opposite yard: "Look, here we are here to help!"

Nie Ling'er just smiled. She couldn't say she disliked Nie Qian'er. Wang would let Nie Qian'er do it if she had a little thought. But they were mother and daughter after all, so Nie Ling'er understood.<

/p>

Besides, he has never done anything that harmed the interests of their family. Those little tricks are nothing in Nie Ling'er's eyes.

The most important thing is that cousin Nie Yong is here. Even if Nie Ling'er doesn't like Wang, he still has to take Brother Yong's face into consideration.

As for Nie Qian'er, in her eyes, she is just like Bao'er, a half-grown girl with no such serious thoughts.

Otherwise, a piece of jujube paste cake would not have made her ‘rebellious’.

Nie Qian'er walked around and ran in through the small gate of the vegetable garden. She was a little at a loss when she came closer. She had never done this before and didn't know what to do.

Seeing her panic, Nie Ling'er couldn't help but said softly: "Please help me wash these eggplants first."

Nie Qian'er nodded when she heard this, ran to Bao'er, knelt down, and washed the eggplants with her.

The old lady was doing needlework on the kang in the house. When she saw the scene outside through the window, she couldn't help but smile. As an old man, I always hope that there will be harmony at home.

Now that she saw Qian'er coming to help with the work, she felt relieved.

"Aren't you afraid that the second aunt will scold you when she sees her?" Xuan looked at Qian'er from the side and whispered.

When Nie Qian'er heard this, her movements stagnated, and then started moving again: "Look, you see, my brother can help, but I can't help? I just said I would help grandma work, can she still beat me?"

Xuan couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Baoer said from the side: "Brother, why do you care so much? We can finish it faster with just one more person."

Xuan nodded: "Give me the washed ones. The water is boiling."

More than an hour later, the sky gradually darkened, and Nie Linger was ready to make dinner.

This is the first time she has cooked here, except for the time she roasted caramel corn.

A whole strip of five-flowered pork was brought out. Xuan, Bao'er and Tongtong saw this and hurriedly gathered around them: "Sister, do you want to make braised pork?"

Seeing the excitement of several people, Nie Ling'er smiled and nodded: "I will make a big pot today so that you can eat enough."

After hearing this, several people jumped up and down with joy. Nie Qianer, who was squatting on the ground and watching, felt a little bitter in her heart, and then a hint of loss.

Just looking at their happy atmosphere, I felt out of place.

"I'm going back first. My father and mother will be back soon." Nie Qian'er stood up and wiped her hands, then ran away with her head lowered before anyone could respond.

Nie Ling'er looked at her back and said nothing for a moment. Bao'er also opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Cut the pork belly into pieces, add ginger slices, star anise and rice wine to the pot in cold water to remove the fishy smell and force out the bleeding foam.

After the water boils, drain out the water, heat up the oil in a pan, add an appropriate amount of sugar and stir-fry until it melts. When the color changes to dark brown, add the pork belly to catch the sugar color. The pieces of pork belly instantly turn into a red sauce.<

/p>

Add rice wine along the edge of the pot and continue to stir-fry, then add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, ginger slices and star anise and stir-fry until the pork belly becomes fragrant and changes color.

Add boiling water to cover the pork belly, remove most of the burning wood from the stove pit, leave only a low fire, cover the lid and simmer for at least half an hour!

Xuan and Bao's children have been watching around the stove. When the rice wine is cooked, the aroma of the meat is overflowing, which instantly arouses the taste buds of several people.

The taste of this meat is just different. Just smelling it makes me salivate.

"It smells so good, sister!" Xuan couldn't help but said.

Bao'er licked her lips: "I want to eat three bowls of rice today!"

Tongtong: "I'll eat a big bowl too!"

Nie Ling'er smiled and said: "Okay, don't leave any piece of meat today, eat it all for me."

Not to mention that the younger brothers and sisters were greedy, Nie Ling'er also suffered a lot while doing it!

How long has it been since she has eaten meat? How long has it been since she has eaten carbohydrates?

She knows better than anyone how the braised pork she makes tastes, it tastes absolutely heavenly!

But no matter what, Nie Ling'er kept hypnotizing herself in her heart, saying, "You don't deserve to eat these. It's a crime to take one bite!"

Finally, with the eager anticipation of several people, it’s finally over!

The smell of meat sealed in the pot instantly wafted out, and several people were drunk just by smelling it. Bao'er stomped his feet excitedly.

"Xuan, add more firewood!" Nie Ling'er said.

As soon as the firewood is burned, the fire will be strong instantly. Add salt before taking it out of the pot, and the fire will absorb the juice!

A bowl full of red and shiny braised pork came out of the pot, which made several people's eyes widen.

The smell of meat lingered for a long time and drifted farther and farther, even Nie Dahai's family in the front yard could smell it.

"It smells so good. Is this meat stewed?"

Mrs. Xu moved her nose and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

So delicious!

Naturally, Nie Dahai also heard about it. When he saw the food on the table, he instantly lost his appetite.

They only heard about Ling'er selling pickles today. They also heard that in the afternoon, they collected the vegetables grown by the folks at home, which cost a lot of copper coins.

We actually stewed meat for dinner tonight, but we just sold pickles. How much money did we earn back?

"This guy is like celebrating the New Year. People who don't know better think she got rich." Mrs. Xu was envious in her heart, but she was unforgiving.

Nie Dahai frowned for a while and said: "This Ling'er has figured it out after all the hard work. How delicious can the pickles be? Can people in the town buy her pickles?"

After all, I have never tasted the pickles made by Nie Ling'er, so I don't know how good they taste.

So it's normal for Nie Dahai not to understand. After all, in the minds of villagers like them, pickles are just pickles, and they can also be made into flowers.

Mrs. Xu was also puzzled. She was expecting to see a joke, but in the end, Nie Ling'er actually made money.

"I'll go and ask around later," Mrs. Xu said.
Chapter completed!
