“Is it very heavy? What’s inside?” Le Wan was curious.
She lowered her head and wanted to smell it to see if she could smell the fragrance of the pig trotters.
Zhai Jing patted her head. “Watch where you’re going.”
“Alright then.”
Le Wan stuck out her tongue and walked to the other side, holding his free hand.
Zhai Jing then explained to her,
“I was thinking that you guys probably haven’t eaten yet at this time. My mom just happened to make some soup, so I brought some over along with some food.”
“Yay!” When Le Wan heard this, she hugged him happily. “It really has to be you.”
Big Brother Le came knocking on the door early in the morning and pulled the siblings up. He said that he wanted to go fishing, so they had to agree.
In the end, she left in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything. She could only take a few sandwiches, some biscuits, a few bottles of drinks, and water that Nanny Zhang had prepared. How could these things be as delicious as hot food and braised pork trotters?
She eagerly spread out the picnic cloth, then quickly patted the ground and urged Zhai Jing,
“Hurry up, hurry up…’
Seeing her so anxious, Zhai Jing thought that she must be hungry, so he helped her arrange the things in the luggage bag first.
At this moment, Big Brother Le saw him, put down his fishing rod, and walked over. He first looked at the things on the table, nodded slightly, and then greeted Zhai Jing.
“Baby has been thinking about your pig trotters ever since she ate them. Today, I have the chance to taste them and see if they are really as delicious as she said.”
He reached out to pinch the pig trotter, but Le Wan hit his hand with the chopsticks.
“You’re so dirty. You took the fish and the bait with that hand. Why didn’t you wash it before coming over?”
Big Brother Le shook his hands which were red from the knocks and said helplessly to Zhai Jing,
“Look at her. She’s become a housekeeper at such a young age, and she’s so fierce.”
Zhai Jing chuckled. “I think this is quite good.”
Big Brother Le gave in.
“Fine, fine, fine. I was being insensible.”
Although he sounded disgusted, he still obediently took out a bottle of clean mineral water from the storage box, washed his hands, and walked back.
At this moment, Le Wan was already hugging a pig trotter and munching on it.
“Yes, you’re right. Indeed, Mother Zhai’s culinary skills are better than yours.”
Le Wan couldn’t tell exactly how good it was. She just felt that it tasted more fragrant and the texture was softer.
“Then I’ll go back and tell her your evaluation. She should be very happy.”
Zhai Jing poured half a bowl of soup for her with a small bowl. “Drink some soup first. Don’t eat too quickly.”
Le Wan hummed in response, but her speed didn’t slow down at all.
Little Brother Le looked at her and felt a little disgusted. He muttered softly,
“If someone sees this, they’ll think that our family has never eaten braised pork trotters.”
He picked up a small piece of pork trotter and stuffed it into his mouth. Suddenly, he paused for a moment. Then, he stopped talking and silently picked up another large piece and began to chew.
Seeing this, the eldest brother was really curious. He took a piece and tasted it. He found that the taste was really good. The taste of the marinade wasn’t particularly strong. There was only a little fragrance of marinade. There should be plums added to it, so it wasn’t greasy. Instead, it had a little fruit fragrance. There was also a very special fragrance. He couldn’t tell what it was. This should be Zhai Jing’s secret recipe.
Zhai Jing explained,
“It’s a kind of sauce from the south. After the red onions are fried in a pot, the dried ingredients are scooped out. The remaining base oil is stir-fried with the sauce to create a fragrance. Then, the marinated water is added and boiled.”
Big Brother Le, who didn’t know how to cook, put on an “I see” expression. It was probably because he didn’t understand.
“Who cares? It’s fine as long as it’s delicious.” Big Brother Le concluded. “Don’t worry about him.” Le Wan also stuffed a piece of pork trotter into his hand.
“You should eat quickly too.”
Since he had rushed back and forth in such a short period, it went without saying that Zhai Jing hadn’t had time to eat.
Zhai Jing took it and was about to thank her when he turned his head and saw a small piece of marinade on Le Wan’s face. She looked like a painted cat. Just as he was about to make a sound, he heard Big Brother Le cough. He looked up and saw Big Brother Le winking at him, telling him not to care.
Zhai Jing saw Big Brother Le wiping the marinade off his hands and taking out his phone. He immediately understood what he was up to. He thought that this was probably the usual little play between the siblings, so he hesitated for a moment and didn’t know if he should remind Le Wan..
