The braised pork is out of the pot, the meat is fat but not greasy, the potatoes are soft and the soup is thick. Eating it with rice makes you feel happy.
"It's so delicious!" Xia Yunyun danced with joy, "Sister, you are amazing. You can cook such delicious meat!"
"Yes, I have never eaten such delicious meat." Qin also said.
Xia Qianqian smiled and scooped some gravy and potato cubes for them. After all, they were poor now and couldn't just eat meat, they had to eat potatoes as the main food.
The potatoes stewed in gravy also became more luxurious and tasted like meat. The mother, daughter and three of them sat around the fire and had a happy dinner. Everyone was very conscious and ate more potatoes and less meat. The remaining meat and soup could be eaten for another day with some potatoes tomorrow.
"Oh, you're having dinner." Xia Dingfeng pushed the door open and pretended to be surprised.
"Third Uncle?" Xia Qianqian raised her head, subconsciously wanting to protect him. Seeing that he was alone, she felt relieved, "Third Uncle, is there something wrong?"
Xia Dingfeng said: "Yu'er said today that he wanted to eat meat. I smelled the stew at your house, so I came here to tell you."
Xia Qianqian: “…” It’s obvious that he wants to eat meat!
Seeing how weathered he was, he must have just come back from Caizhen and came here after smelling the meat. In order to get some meat, he even brought Xia Yu with him.
Xia Qianqian looked down on Xia Dingfeng in her heart and asked, "Where's Second Uncle? Didn't he come with you?"
"He went home." Xia Dingfeng stared at the braised pork in the pot, his saliva almost flowing out.
Everyone knew his purpose, and no one wanted to give him any meat. However, Qin thought of Xia Yu. Her son would hide any bacon he had and send it to her. Today, they were eating meat, but her son couldn't even drink the broth.
"Qianqian." Qin called softly.
Xia Qianqian understood what she meant and stood up to serve the rice: "Third Uncle, since you are here, please bring a bowl of rice back for Yu'er later."
"Okay, okay." Xia Dingfeng nodded vigorously. The meat he brought back would be his, hahaha!
Who knew that after Xia Qianqian served the rice and meat, she took another bowl and turned it upside down. She then cut two strips of paper left over from writing business cards a few days ago, sealed them in the form of a cross, and finally stamped a black handprint on the joint.
Xia Dingfeng's face turned green. Was he afraid that he would cheat on her
"Uncle San, you haven't had dinner yet. If you don't mind, you can eat at my house." Xia Qianqian scraped the steamed buns and finally scraped out a bowl of rice. She poured two pieces of meat, three potatoes and some soup on it and handed it over.
"Don't mind, don't mind!" Xia Dingfeng wanted it more than anything else. He happily took it and squatted on the ground to eat.
In order to prevent him from snatching all the meat in the pot, Xia Yunyun tiptoed to cover the pot. Xia Qianqian smiled and touched her head, and said to Xia Dingfeng: "Uncle San, this is the first time for our family to eat meat. We were reluctant to eat it, so each of us only ate a piece of meat."
Xia Dingfeng took a bite of the meat with satisfaction, "It's so delicious! Is this the meat cooked by my sister-in-law?"
"It was Qianqian who cooked it." Qin said.
Xia Dingfeng was very surprised: "You can also roast meat?"
"I know a lot more. Uncle, please help take care of Yu'er. I won't treat you unfairly." Xia Qianqian said.
Xia Dingfeng nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will help you take care of Yu'er."
Xia Dingfeng ate without pause, and soon his bowl was empty. He wanted another bowl, but there was no more rice in the steamer.
Xia Qianqian solemnly handed the sealed bowl to Xia Dingfeng: "Thank you for your help, Third Uncle. When I see Yu'er later, I will tell him that Third Uncle is a good man."
The implication is that you should not break the seal, otherwise you are not a good uncle and don't think of taking advantage of him in the future.
