C21 Xiao Lu's Hand
Most households did not prepare lunch. Other than farming in the spring, and not to mention eating meat, only guests at New Year's Eve or at home would cook lunch.
"Sister, shall we have this for lunch?" Ning Huai squatted on the side and guarded the stove for Ning Silian, his eyes looking at the meat in the pot.
Ning Silian waved her knife and saw that the water was already boiling. She placed the sliced rabbit meat into the pot and boiled it. "That's right!"
"Great!" The bright firelight illuminated his small face until it was completely red.
Looking at Ning Huai's happy expression, Ning Silian felt a little guilty. She had already looked at the kitchen and found nothing. They were probably just making some rice porridge. No wonder they were so thin.
While stirring the meat in the pot, he swore to himself that he would definitely make Ning Huai fat.
"It's a pity that there's no seasoning. Otherwise, it would definitely be very delicious!" Although the little rabbit was very cute, she had no choice but to improve her food.
"Elder sister, what is seasoning?" Ning Huai raised his head with a face full of curiosity.
"Err, it is used to increase the flavor. For example, chili, pepper, onion, ginger, etc." Ning Silian scooped up the meat and poured the water out.
"Wow, sister really knows a lot!" Ning Huai held his face and looked at Ning Silian in admiration, although he didn't know what his sister meant by that!
"When you get to the academy, you will know it too!" Ning Silian sliced up some of the meat Madam Qi brought over and left the remaining salt to marinate. Fortunately, there was still a lot of salt left in the jar.
Looking at the floating dust, Ning Silian sighed inwardly. It seemed that she would still have a lot of work to do in the future.
"Can Huai go to school?" Ning Huai asked expectantly.
"Of course, I was hoping that you would come back as a top scholar in the future!" She touched his flushed face.
"But the village elder's repairing …"
Ning Huai frowned. Before he could finish, he was led by Ning Silian to a small stool by the side.
"Don't worry, big sister will find a way!" You should just sit here so that the oil won't get on you! "
Her words seemed to have a magic to it that convinced Ning Huai.
The pork could be used to refine oil, so when the oil in the wok was hot, he directly put the rabbit meat into the wok and fried it, adding some firewood to the stove.
The smell of meat filled the air. Ning Huai, who was sitting on the chair, subconsciously sniffed.
"Here, have a taste!" Ning Silian took a piece from the plate and handed it to Ning Huai.
"Elder sister, eat first!" Ning Huai pushed it away and refused to taste it first.
"Do you dislike what your sister did?" Seeing that he didn't want to eat first, Ning Silian pretended to be lost in thought.
The moment he said that, the meat on the chopsticks disappeared into Ning Huai's mouth, "Sis made it delicious!"
"That's good!" Ning Silian brought all the dishes to Ning Huai's room.
"Big Brother Ruchang, time to eat!" Ning Silian arranged the food, looked at the person already sitting on the bed and said.
Ji Ruchang hadn't slept at all. The conversation between the brother and sister in the kitchen entered Ji Ruchang's ears without missing a word. He did not know much about the seasonings in her mouth. However, he was still somewhat familiar with spring onion, ginger, garlic, and other farm crops.
"Here!" Ning Silian served the rice to everyone.
Looking at the plate of meat, Ning Silian felt a little awkward. "Well, let's have some for now. It will improve in the future!" He picked up a piece of meat and put it in Ning Huai's bowl.
"Thank you, sister!" Ning Huai obediently lowered his head and ate the meat.
Ji Ruchang picked up a piece himself and frowned slightly. The taste of the meat was not as good as he expected. The meat was already burnt, but it was tender inside.
"You should eat more!" When Ning Silian saw that Ji Ruchang didn't feel disgusted at all, her hanging heart slightly relaxed.
The three of them ate in silence. Ning Silian and Ji Ruchang ate very little, but Ning Huai ate a lot.
