Chapter 69



69 Charcoal Roasted Pork Trotters

“That’s right. It’s really different.” Sister-in-law Shen took a closer look and exclaimed, “The color of the pork trotters seem to have turned red.”

“That’s right. At this time, we’ll fish out the pork trotters and put them in the clay pot. Then, we’ll add enough water to cover the pork trotters. After it starts boiling, we’ll turn it to a small fire and slowly stew it.”

Ji Zhao explained as she worked, “When the hot water in the clay pot boils, reduce the fire and fish out the pork trotters when they’ve become soft.”

About an hour later, the heavy rain suddenly stopped.

“Ah Tao, I’ll go to Hongxing Restaurant with Big Brother. How about you not go?” Shen Yao walked into the kitchen and looked at Ji Zhao. He explained softly, “Although the rain has stopped, there’s still a lot of water on the road. I’m worried that your shoes will be soaked…”

“I know!” Ji Zhao replied obediently. “Go ahead. I want to stay and cook something delicious for Eldest Sister-in-law!”

“Alright, I’ll be back soon!” Shen Yao promised solemnly before he left.

“Then be careful on the road! Remember to bring an oil-paper umbrella!”

“Okay!”

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen, who was standing in front of the stove and watching the fire, felt her teeth ache when she heard their intimate conversation!

“Ah Tao, you’re really something!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen generously gave her a thumbs up. “I really didn’t expect to see such a gentle smile on Third Brother’s face in my lifetime. It’s really not easy!”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, Shen Yao likes to smile! And his smile is especially beautiful.”

More importantly, Ji Zhao felt that she had a fatal attraction to Shen Yao’s smile.

Facing such a smile, her heart could not help but drown.

“Tsk, in my eyes, Third Brother is old-fashioned even though he’s young. He’s like an old scholar!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen couldn’t help but criticize him. “But this is also one of Third Brother’s merits, right? After all, Third Brother won’t fool around outside.”

Ji Zhao silently lowered her eyes to hide the joy in them.

She remembered that Shen Yao in the original novel did not seem to be paired with anyone.

It seemed that Shen Yao was not very popular with the opposite sex?

About two hours later, Ji Zhao fished out all the soft pork trotters that had been cooked.

“Ah Tao, after talking for so long, you still haven’t explained the cooking method of this pork trotter?”

“Sister-in-law, the dish I’m going to teach you today is called charcoal-roasted pork trotters.” Ji Zhao smiled gently and said, “Look, when the color of the pork trotters turns into this red, we’ll directly scoop up the pork trotters and prepare charcoal fire and a grill.”

Ji Zhao placed the cooked pork trotters on the charcoal fire and kept flipping them.

Finally, she sprinkled some seasonings.

For example, ground peanuts and coriander and parsley leaves.

Fifteen minutes later, the charcoal-roasted pork trotters were ready.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, try it?”

Eldest Sister-in-law Shen took a big bite impatiently and silently gave a thumbs up.

“It’s fragrant and delicious, and it’s crispy in the mouth. Mixed with the fragrance of peanuts, it’s irresistible.”

“I smelled a special fragrance even before I entered the kitchen.” When Shen Dalang returned to the shop and smelled the unique fragrance, he stomped his feet excitedly. “Is it charcoal-roasted pork trotters?”

“Big Brother, do you want to try a piece?” Ji Zhao flashed the white jade plate in her hand and said happily, “I guarantee that you will still want to eat more after eating it!”

“Alright, I’ll wait and see!”

Shen Dalang took a bite of the roasted pork trotter without hesitation-

“So, so, so, so… delicious!”
