Chapter 43
Wen Yusheng talked about rice, and Chen Yumo suddenly remembered that he hadn’t steamed the rice yet. He quickly took out the rice steaming pot, poured three bowls of water and two bowls of rice. After thinking about it, he poured another bowl of water, put the lid on the pot, plugged it in, and placed it on the side of the kitchen pot.
He continued cooking the other dishes.
“By the way, there are also steamed buns. Don’t forget to heat up the steamed buns for me.”
“Don’t worry, it’s okay if the steamed buns are heated at the end. If they are heated too early, they will become lumpy.”
Chen Yumo took out the piece of pork belly that he had just put in the refrigerator and began slicing the pork belly, which was neither thick nor thin. He put the meat into the pot, poured cold water on it, added various onions, ginger, garlic, and seasonings, and began to cook. He set the timer for five minutes and covered the pot.
He took out another pot, added olive oil and rock sugar, and started frying the sugar colour. The fire for frying the sugar colour wasn’t very high, and the process was relatively slow.
The water boiling pot for cooking pork belly reached a certain time.
Chen Yumo took out all the pork belly, shook off the water, and began to pour all the meat into the rock sugar that he had just stir-fried. He started to stir-fry, added various seasonings, other onions, ginger, garlic, and various medicinal ingredients. When there was no water left in the pot, he added half a bowl of water, started to increase the firepower, covered the pot, and let it simmer.
Wen Yusheng held the sleepy little Niangao and stood there, tiptoeing, looking at the pork belly in the pot. “Won’t it be burnt?”
Chen Yumo picked up the used pot, put it under the faucet, and started rinsing it. “It won’t, right now is the process of collecting the juice. The juice is collected over high heat. If the fire is low, the juice won’t be collected.”
Wen Yusheng patted little Niangao on the back. “Oh, the pork belly looks pretty good today.”
Chen Yumo turned around and glanced at him. “I know you like to eat it, but you can’t eat too much…”
“I know, I know, I finally can eat it, but you still insist on restricting me.”
Little Niangao was laying on Wen Yusheng’s shoulder, muttering something. Wen Yusheng hugged him. “I won’t stay anymore. I’ll carry Niangao upstairs and let him sleep.”
Chen Yumo just put the pot aside to let it dry. “Okay, go ahead. If you’re sleepy, go to sleep. It was hard for you to wake up this morning. If you’re sleepy, go to sleep.”
Wen Yusheng walked out and said, “If I’m sleepy, I’ll go to sleep. If I’m not sleepy, I’ll come down and watch you cook.”
Mother Li had already left when they came back. After going upstairs, little Niangao woke up a lot and started kicking his legs to stay awake.
Wen Yusheng put him on the bed, placed a small towel on his belly, and said while patting him, “Hey, you little guy, when you were downstairs just now, you could hardly open your eyes. The upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting. I hugged you all the way here out of kindness, but now you tormented your papa while you can’t sleep?”
Little Niangao held one of Wen Yusheng’s arms with both hands and feet. “Hug~ Papa Hug~ Papa~”
Wen Yusheng placed little Niangao on his chest, let him lay down, and began to slowly release some pheromones.
As expected, little Niangao started to have crooked eyes. “Hug~ Hug~”
Laying on the bed, Wen Yusheng picked up his mobile phone and echoed the little rice cake. “Yes~ Hug~. Hurry up and sleep.”
Little Niangao was moving around on Wen Yusheng’s chest.
His little dad looked at his phone and ignored him, and finally, he fell asleep laying there.
