Although Wenxiu was adamant about whether Li Jun was worth it or not, suddenly losing this person in front of her made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. She couldn't even explain the indescribable feelings in her heart.

After Li Jun had left, Wenxiu had been disappointed for the whole night. She clearly wanted to rush the pickled pork meat before she decided to clean it up the next morning.

Let's go, let's go far away. It's best if we don't come back in the future.

Otherwise, this old lady would definitely sweep out that man who came and went in a hurry with a pair of broom.

Wen Xiu retracted her depressed mood. Then, she performed a set of punches in the yard. Feeling warmer, she went to the kitchen to cook. There was still quite a bit of chicken soup from yesterday. It was simple to stew some rice, soak in the boiling hot chicken soup, and nibble on the fragrant chicken. Life was truly nourishing.

If his life were to get better, how could he be afraid that no man would come knocking on his door?

In an instant, Wenxiu was filled with hope and passion for life. She woke the child up, helped the Tong Tong put on her clothes, then busied herself with washing the siblings' faces and brushing their teeth. Only then was she able to enjoy breakfast.

Children are naturally fond of play, even if the tree has the calm and maturity that do not belong to the same age group, he is also a person who is fond of play. After the meal, he decided to take the sugar for his sister and himself and then took his sister to play with the children in the village.

Wenxiu shook her head helplessly. After cleaning up the kitchen, the cured meat was served.

The pickled food was very famous in the southwest region. When pickled and steamed dishes were served to the guests, they would definitely represent the flavor and characteristics of the southwest region. The most common dishes were cured pork and sausage. Next, there was the liver, tongue, heart, and ribs. As long as it was something from a pig's body, apart from its large intestine, it could be marinated and dried so that it could be stored for a long time.

Among the many pickles, bacon and sausages are the most widespread and popular. However, the preparation of sausage was more troublesome than bacon.

In Wenxiu's previous life, she had lived in the southwest. Other than when she was young and had no food to eat, when she could eat and keep warm for a few years, she would personally marinate the bacon and sausages on New Year's Day. She did not like the goods that were bought at the so-called marinade. She always thought that they were not good enough and that they tasted unauthentic.

She had been thinking about buying some cured pork for the new year, or else she would have found it boring. In the southern part of Sichuan, which family would have a new year without bacon and sausages on the table? Therefore, even if the pork was expensive and the family was poor, ten catties of cured meat had to be pickled.

Yesterday at the market, she picked out two butcher's shops and bought a total of ten pounds of top-grade pork. It was best to make cured pork with five layers of salt, pepper, cinnamon and other seasonings. The cured meat was grilled with peanut shells, aged cereals, sugarcane skins, and other ingredients. Once the meat was smoked dry, the cured meat would be sliced into pieces.

When Wen Xiu thought of the taste of the cured meat, her actions of rubbing salt on the meat became even more smooth. It was as if she could finish the marinating as soon as possible and eat fragrant cured meat rice in the evening.

"Xiu Niang, are you home?" "Xiu Niang."

Song Xiaoyue's voice came from outside the yard when Wenxiu was only halfway through her work. She quickly got up and called Song Xiaoyue to come in.

Song Xiaoyue held a basket in her hands, covered with a flowery handkerchief. Seeing Wen Xiu coming out of the kitchen without seeing Li Jun, she felt a bit bad for Wen Xiu, but she didn't mention anything about Li Jun. "Xiu Niang, what are you doing? Marinate that cured meat you're talking about? "

"Yes, I didn't have the time to marinate it yesterday. I have to hurry and marinate it today." Wenxiu spoke about the matter of the cured meat before turning back into the kitchen to continue her work. "Why are you so free today? Why don't you sell your potato powder tomorrow?"

Song Xiaoyue followed her into the house and put the basket on the stove. She smiled and said, "We'll go back in two days. The workers outside will be back soon."

It was almost New Year's, and it was about time for the men who were making money outside to return. When they returned home, they naturally brought back this year's wages. At that time, if they were to pick out and sell it, their business would be even better than it was now.

When Wen Xiu heard this, she nodded.

"Xiu Niang, is the cured meat you're talking about really that tasty?" Or you can teach me how to do it. "Me? While I'm busy these two days, I'll go buy some pickles as well. I'll have my New Year meal then."

When Wen Xiu heard this, she smiled. She was not afraid to brush Song Xiaoyue's face and said, "It's fine to teach you. But are you sure that if you marinate it at home, the meat will be eaten by you and Yan Qing?"

Wenxiu had heard most of the Wang family's matters from Mrs. Zhang. Since Song Xiaoyue never came out, Old Lady Wang was biased. Normally, the best things were given to the eldest and second branch, while the third and fourth branch had more girls. Naturally, there would be fewer things. However, for Song Xiaoyue and Wang Yanqing, not only did they not get anything from the old lady, they were even going to post it to their brothers and sisters.

The last time Song Xiaoyue cooked the Red Braised Meat was because of the Wang family. If she bought some cured meat and got targeted by some people, would the meat even get into their mouths?

Impossible!

Wenxiu had never cared about other people's family matters, but Song Xiaoyue and Wang Yanqing had recently been sent away by the Wang family. After the new year, she would go out to clean up, so why did she want to watch as Song Xiaoyue foolishly bought meat for those people to eat?

Song Xiaoyue knew it was reasonable and smiled. "This meat, apart from parents, is from the main house and the second house." Even the third and fourth houses might not be able to get even a little bit of it, aiya! "

Wen Xiu said, "Then isn't that fine? Anyway, I have some here, so I'll invite you over for dinner during the new year. When the time comes, I'll steam a little more.

"Really?"

"Could it be fake?" Seeing that Song Xiaoyue was acting like a child, Xiu laughed. "Alright, after you and Yan Qing establish their own sect, I will teach you how to use the pickled meat for the new year."

"Alright, then it's a deal!"

"Mm, it's a deal." Wenxiu stood up after she finished marinating the last piece of meat. Only then did she truly notice the basket that Song Xiaoyue was carrying. "What did you bring this time?"

Song Xiaoyue opened the handkerchief as if she was offering a treasure, "Hehe, I bought a dumpling with meat buns yesterday. Me, I left these for the tree and the tung tree. You can steam them for the children at noon. "Here, give me back the bowl."

"I've troubled you again!"

Song Xiaoyue did not seem to care. "Now, thanks to your blessings, we can eat meat."

Wen Xiu nodded with a smile. However, she felt even more sorry for Song Xiaoyue. This bowl of dumplings, was it possible that she had spent quite a bit of effort to keep it? Oh, the silly girl!

Just as Song Xiaoyue was about to leave, an unexpected guest entered Wen Xiu's house.
