Chapter 148: Pork Stewed with Vermicelli

Mrs. Luo was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law Xia Mei, and did not vent her anger on her because of Xia Fugui and Mrs. Li.

But I felt even more pity for Xia Mei. How could the Xia family not like such a good child?

"No...No need, mother. I'm fine. It's getting late. I'll go cook dinner now."

When Xia Mei heard what her mother-in-law Luo said, she came to her senses instantly and waved to everyone.

"Listen, you've been busy setting up stalls in town all day, take a break first."

Mrs. Luo smiled. She was not a troublesome mother-in-law.

The Su family has always been harmonious, and now everyone is working together to make life good at home. There is nothing to worry about.

After saying that, he waved to Su Mu and asked him to take Xia Mei back to the house to rest first.

After watching Su Mu and Xia Mei enter the house, Su He asked Old Man Su about the workshop.

"Grandpa, how is the workshop going? Can it officially start work tomorrow?"

Today someone came to ask her about sweet potato flour and wanted to order some. The workshop business could not be delayed any longer.

Old Man Su nodded. He had just set up the shelves. After dinner, he would take the boss and the others over to put everything in place.

"Okay, I won't go into the mountains with you tomorrow morning. I still have to keep an eye on the first day of work."

It's only been a few days since Su He started setting up the stall in the town, and she can't let go of Su Mu and Xia Mei yet. She feels more at ease with Old Man Su watching over the workshop.

Su He nodded, took a backpack and went to the pepper field.

Shopkeeper Zhao said today that Qianweilou had run out of chili peppers, so Su He went to pick some before it got dark and would send them to Qianweilou tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

As soon as the day dawned, several people who were going to work in the Su family workshop today arrived early.

Old Man Su and Yun Rong led a few people to the workshop, and Old Man Su repeated what Su He had told them last night.

The main thing is that you cannot tell outsiders about what happens in the workshop, otherwise you will not only lose the job but also have to pay compensation.

The few people that Old Man Su found were all familiar and honest, and they nodded when they heard this.

The Su family is their boss now, so things in this workshop are naturally confidential. They just need to do their job well and not have any other thoughts.

The Su family’s sweet potato flour workshop has officially started operation.

Su Mu, who was in the town, was a little absent-minded the whole day, always thinking about the day when the workshop at home would open.

Seeing Su Mu's look, Su He couldn't help but laugh. Big brother really loves to worry.

But seeing him like this, Su He couldn't help but say, "Grandpa is at home, let's close the stall early and go back to see him."

When Su Mu heard Su He say that he wanted to go back early, he hurriedly shook his head.

This won’t do. We have to sell all this food before we can go back. If there is anything left, it will all be money.

But by the end of the day, just like usual, all the food had been sold out.

Su He carried a basket on his back to buy meat and other things.

Su Mu and Xia Mei were responsible for closing the stall. In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them were already on the ox cart heading back to Yunli Village.

The three of them were a little anxious today. It was the first day of work in the workshop and everyone was anxious to get back.

As soon as they got home, they put everything in the kitchen and went to the workshop.

After entering the workshop, Su He found that almost all the Su family members were busy here today. Just now, he saw that the yard was empty at home, and it turned out that they were all here.

Su He looked around the workshop and was quite satisfied with the people that Old Man Su had found to do the work.

He not only looks honest and reliable, but also very skillful at his work. With Aunt Rong helping and watching over him, I can rest assured when I go to town tomorrow. I don't have to worry about the work in the workshop all the time.

Seeing that everything in the workshop was in order, Su He took a look around and went back to prepare dinner.

After looking around at the ingredients in the kitchen, Su He planned to make pork stewed with vermicelli in the evening. She had just bought some gluten and fried tofu in town, so she had vermicelli ready at home.

Today, I saw some good pork belly at Sun the Butcher’s stall, so I cut a big piece and cooked it tonight.

Su He rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a handful of vermicelli, and scooped two scoops of water to soak them.

I took a cabbage, drew water from the well, washed it, and cut it.

Then I started to knead the dough. Now that there were more people in the family, I added more flour. After a while, the dough was ready.

Take a piece of gauze and cover it up and put it aside to keep him awake.

During this break, take out the pork belly, clean it, and cut it into pieces.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, he cleaned the pot, lit a fire and heated the pot.

The pork belly bought today is not fatty, so Su He scooped some lard, waited for the lard in the pot to heat and melt, then poured the cut pork belly into the pot and stir-fried it quickly.

With the sound of "crackling" in the pot, the pork belly was soon fried to a slightly golden color, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of burnt pork.

Su He sprinkled the freshly chopped green onion, a handful of peppercorns and shredded ginger into the pot, stir-fried it for a few times, and added a spoonful of soybean paste.

Soon the pork belly gave off a strong meaty aroma. Seeing that it was almost cooked, Su He added water to the pot.

At this time, the dough that has just been left aside is ready. Lift the gauze and knead the dough a few more times.

Pinch off an egg-sized piece of dough, rub it in your hands a few times, then put your hands together to press the dough into a pancake shape, and stick it along the edge of the pot.

Seeing that the dough was already stuck together, Su He took the lid of the pot beside him, covered it, threw two pieces of firewood into the stove, and started stewing it.

"Sister, it smells so good, what are you making tonight?"

Su Chi didn't know when he came back, and he went into the kitchen following the smell.

I just felt that this taste seemed to be new to me, and I knew in my heart that my sister was probably making a new dish tonight.

"You have the best nose. Grandpa and the others are back."

Su He teased him with a smile.

"They are all back. They are in the yard."

Now the work of going down to the river to catch snails is done by Su Chi and Su Bai. After catching the snails, they came back to the workshop nearby and took a walk before coming back.

Su He nodded. Seeing that the meat in the pot was almost done, she poured the chopped cabbage into the pot and stir-fried it. The aroma in the pot was now stronger than before.

Su He saw that the pancake on the edge of the pot had swelled up and was almost done, so he poured the soaked vermicelli and fried tofu into the pot.

Sprinkle with salt, stir fry evenly, cover with lid and simmer for a while until cooked.

Su He quickly stir-fried some vegetables and cooked an egg soup.

Dinner is ready.

Everyone in the Su family was already extremely hungry. When they came back just now, they smelled the fragrance from the kitchen and their stomachs growled. However, they were too embarrassed to run into the kitchen like Su Chi did.

Everyone has been busy from this morning till now. They just had a few bites at noon. Now, looking at the tempting aroma in front of them, they can't help swallowing their saliva.
