Chapter 13: Sweet and sour pork ribs

Su Yue walked out of the door and walked towards a small forest not far in front of the door.
This small forest is not a serious forest, but a small soil in the middle of a large pond not far away. There are many trees on it and it is very luxuriant. It looks like an island in the pond. But there is nothing in it, except for the occasional hide-and-seek hide-and-seek in which no one goes to play.
There is a path by the pond that leads directly to the forest in the middle, and you can go directly from the bank.
Every household at this point is closed for sleep, and there are no lights outside. It is dark and only illuminated by the moon in the sky. Fortunately, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon is still bright this night, so that Su Yue can see what is in front of her. road.
When she walked to the middle of the trail, Su Yue stopped moving on guard, and whispered to the forest in front: "Who is there? What can I do for you?"
After a rustling voice, a male voice rang: "It's me, Han Aiguo."
Han Aiguo appeared on the other side of the trail, looking at Su Yue with his cane, his expression a little unnatural.
Su Yue's eyes widened, surprised, "Brother Han, why are you?"
Although surprised, Su Yue relaxed her body guard in an instant, completely relieved.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
If she had known that it was him, what would she have prepared so many weapons for, she would have run out long ago.
Han Aiguo pursed her lips and explained in a low voice: "I, my mother asked me to ask you to have a meal at my house tomorrow. Thank you for giving the fourth child the opportunity to earn money."
Su Yue suddenly asked, "Then why don't you just go to my house and look for me? When I came here, I don't know who it was, and it made me feel more upset."
Han Aikoku was a little bit embarrassed, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I think I will come to you at night, and others may gossiping about you."
The people in the village like to talk about the short stories of the east and the west, especially the things between men and women, who is irritating with whom, who has a leg behind, and whose daughter-in-law gives men a cuckold. They can't finish talking.
Many women in the village like to talk about gossip when they get together. Not only that, but many old men in the village also like to get together and talk about gossip when they are fine.
Although Han Aiguo is not at home all year round, he is well versed in the idiosyncrasies of people in the village who love to gossiping. He is not afraid of being seen gossiping by others, but he is afraid of making Su Yue difficult to be a human being. So instead of rushing to find Su Yue, he gave Zhuangzi a piece of candy and asked him to go in and ask Su Yue to come out.
Su Yue understood why he did this.
After coming here, she naturally understands the gossip characteristics of the people in the village. If someone who loves to talk sees Han Aiguo University visiting her at night, she might actually be arranged.
But she didn't even think of this, but Han Aiguo, a big man, thought about it. It was so thoughtful.
Secretly smiled, Su Yue continued to walk a few steps forward, walked to Han Aiguo, stretched out a finger and gently poked his arm, "Brother Han, let's go in and say, standing on the path It’s not good for people to see it."
Han Aiguo didn’t know what was wrong. She obviously poked so lightly, but the piece on her arm seemed to have electricity passing through it. The electric arm was numb, and her body was a little stiff, and she didn’t even remember that she had explained it. The reason for coming here, why should I go in and say it again.
Seeing that he was not moving, Su Yue poked him with her finger, "Why are you not moving, Brother Han?"
"Oh." Han Aiguo hurriedly walked in with the stick, but his steps were stiff, but fortunately he couldn't see it when he walked with the stick.
After finding a relatively empty place, Han Aiguo stopped and explained to Su Yue again: "Educated Su, my mother invites you to go to our house tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Thank you for taking the fourth child to earn money this time."
Su Yue stood two steps in front of him, with her hands behind her back, looking up at him, and nodding with a smile: "Okay, then I'll come and disturb you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Han Aiguo brought everything to see and had nothing to say, so he said, "Let's go."
Su Yue: This person, why there are so few words, can't you say a few more words?
Since he talks less, she has to talk more, so Su Yue took the initiative to ask: "Brother Han, I heard that you are a soldier?"
Han Aiguo: "Yeah."
After speaking, you may also realize that you have said too little, so he added: "Now I have a leg injury, so I came home."
He said that the tone of his leg injury was very calm. People who were so calm that they didn't know thought it was a minor injury for a while. But Su Yue knew that the doctor in the military hospital couldn't cure his injury, and it couldn't be cured at all with the current medical level.
But this person didn't see the slightest sadness, as if he didn't care that he would completely end his passionate military career and become a disabled person.
But why don't you care? It's just that this person is too reserved, he doesn't want to show it to others, and doesn't want the family to worry about it.
This man, he swallowed all the pain in his stomach.
Su Yue restrained her thoughts, looked at him encouragingly, and said firmly: "Big Brother Han, your legs will be healed soon, and you will return to the army at that time."
Han Aiguo smiled bitterly in his heart, his legs won't heal in the future, and it is impossible to return to the army.
But he didn't want to live up to Su Yue's good intentions, nor did he want to provoke others to worry about it in vain, so he didn't say that he couldn't be better, but said: "I borrow your good words."
Su Yue knew that he didn't believe her words, but she didn't say much. Everything can only wait for her to accumulate enough points to get the prescription for treating the legs.
Not mentioning this topic again, Su Yue asked again: "Brother Han, I saw you editing the frame that day. It's fine. Can you also make a basket for me? Every time I go to the market, I buy things. Many, I can’t hold it in a basket at all, and it hurts my hands and arms. It’s easier if I have a basket on my back."
In fact, Su Yue's words were a bit cheeky, and she didn't know much about others, so she just asked for a bag. It stands to reason that this would be shameless by others. But Su Yue couldn't help it, she would never speak up, she would only pay for one by herself. But Han Aiguo is different, he is the one he wants to hook up with.
Since I wanted to hook up with someone, I was honest and polite, and I didn't have the chance to contact him once in ten days and a half month. What kind of hooking up? Only by constantly creating opportunities can I get in touch and develop with him. .
Therefore, whether you are a man or a woman, you have to be thick-skinned if you are guilty.
Fortunately, Su Yue is not from this era. Although she has never hooked up with a man before, in the era of information explosion, she has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run countless times. There are still many ways to hook up. I feel that my face is not enough.
Han Aiguo didn't feel that Su Yue was cheeky. He agreed without even thinking about it, "Okay, I will make one for you, so that the fourth child will send it to you."
Su Yue smiled crookedly, "Thank you Brother Han, then."
Han Aiguo: "No thanks, a bag is not worth anything."
Su Yue looked at Han Aiguo’s leg. Although she wanted to chat with him more, she did not forget that his leg was still injured and could not stand for a long time, so she had to point to the outside of the forest,
Brother Han, time is not It's early, go back and rest quickly."
Han Aiguo said, "You go first, and I will go again if you go."
Su Yue didn't be polite with him, and left by herself.
Han Aiguo slowly left with his cane until he watched Su Yue enter the yard and closed the door.
The second day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and today everyone does not have to go to work.
Su Yue did not sleep late, got up early and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Since I'm going to eat at someone's house today, it's not good to eat empty-handed. But if you bring something, Mrs. Han will definitely not accept it. After all, she is ready to thank herself.
So Su Yue planned to cook a good dish and take it to Han's family to eat with him.
But before cooking, Su Yue took out the flour again, planning to make cakes for a few more months, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The mooncakes made a few days ago were all sold out, and I didn't keep them at home, because they were not fresh and they were not as delicious as fresh ones.
It took more than an hour to make the mooncakes, and Su Yue took out the ribs that she asked Han Aimin to buy in the commune with a meat ticket.
Everyone is short of oil and water this year, so it’s a good idea to save energy during the Chinese New Year, so it’s so happy to send anything without meat, so Su Yue plans to make a sweet and sour pork ribs to take, and then just heat it in a pot. Serve it.
Su Yue blanched the ribs first, poured them out and boiled them in a pot for 30 minutes. This step is very important. If raw ribs are used directly, the ribs will be very old, but after cooking and frying, the ribs will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
After cooking, add various seasonings to the ribs to marinate. After 20 minutes, remove the ribs, wash and control the water, and then deep-fry them in a hot pot until golden.
After that, put the previous broth into the pot again, add the water for marinating the ribs, three tablespoons of sugar, half a tablespoon of salt, add the ribs, boil the heat and turn to low heat until the juice is collected.
At the end of the juice collection, Su Yue poured a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar into the pot, and the sweet and sour taste came out immediately.
"Wow, it smells good, Su Yue, what are you doing so delicious again?" Wu Xiaoxiao sniffed and went into the kitchen with an expression of being greedy.
Not only Wu Xiaoxiao, but everyone was so attracted by the fragrance that they ran into the kitchen behind. No way, this scent is too attractive.
Su Yue answered them while sprinkling chopped green onion and sesame seeds on the ribs, "Auntie Han called me to eat at noon. I wondered if it is not good to go empty-handed, so I made sweet and sour ribs to take."
Everyone knows that Su Yue has a good relationship with the Han family, so it didn't feel strange. Only Wu Xiaoxiao reluctantly said: "Then we won't be able to eat your cooking at noon, so disappointed."
Su Yue took out the spare ribs left in the pot, sprinkled with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, and smiled: "Although I will not eat with you at noon, you can also eat the dishes I made. No, this is for you Ribs, you eat it hot at noon."
"Wow, Su Yue, why are you so good!" Wu Xiaoxiao was so touched that she hugged Su Yue. If Su Yue hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to give Su Yue a kiss.
The others were amused by her.
At this time, Su Yue's mind again sounded the system's voice: Congratulations to the host, this sweet and sour pork ribs reached level b, and 20 points were awarded.
Su Yue was still amazed at the beginning, but during this period of time she has become accustomed to the sound of the system, and she just glanced at the integration panel and left it alone.
Anyway, it's still early to eight hundred points.
