Chapter 44: Pig Intestine
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After washing the pig intestine, she blanched it again. It was almost tasteless now. She cut the half-cooked intestine into pieces. After adding the oil to the pot, she heated the pig intestines and picked them up as a backup. Then, she added scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili to the pot, which was only left with oil. When the fragrance was rich, she added the pig intestine and seasoned it with salt and soy sauce.
The conditions were harsh, and there were no more ingredients to use. However, the ancient raw materials were superior to the original ecology. Soon, the large intestines dyed dark brown began to emit a smell that made people drool.
Ning Erlang was so curious that he couldn’t help but pick up a piece with his chopsticks and stuff it into his mouth with an expression like he was facing death. He gritted his teeth and said, “That’s a pig intestine? It’s so delicious!”
When this dish was almost done, Xiaoxiao scooped out the big bones in the soup to cool them down. Then, she put the noodles in and used chopsticks to stir the noodles. At the same time, she asked her second brother to call for someone next door.
When the noodles were rolling for the first time, she put a handful of home-grown vegetables into the soup. The fresh vegetable leaves wrapped in the soup oil made them look even greener.
Yun Yi and the others had long smelled the fragrance coming from next door, but no one said that they were too ashamed to take the initiative to come. Now that Ning Erlang was here, everyone except Rong Yan stood up and bumped into each other.
Rong Yan was deeply embarrassed. He cupped his fists at Ning Erlang and thanked him, then asked Yun Yi to carry a basket of eggs.
Xiaoxiao didn’t reject their gifts and even directly opened the pot and added a poached egg to everyone’s bowl. With this embellishment, the noodles on the table looked even more alluring. Yun Yi wanted to give the first bowl to Rong Yan, but Xiaoxiao stopped him.
She pointed at the bowl on the stove. There was a green flower print on the side of the bowl. “That’s his.” There were no onions, garlic, less oil, and two eggs. Moreover, it had already cooled.
Ning Erlang was envious of this special treatment. He didn’t mind as much when he remembered that someone else had brought the eggs and that they were guests. He even warmly invited everyone to try the freshly baked pig intestines.
Yun Yi’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “Second Young Master Ning said this, what was it again?”
Hearing the word “young master”, Ning Erlang couldn’t help but tremble. His expression was strange. He looked down on Yun Yi for making a fuss. “Pig intestines. Haven’t you heard of it?” His tone seemed to have completely forgotten that he had also been one of the people who had stayed away from the pig intestines not long ago.
Not to mention Rong Yan, even Madam Song and her husband didn’t dare to touch the large intestines. However, Ning Erlang had just experienced his sister’s amazing skills and couldn’t help but want to show them off.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s delicious. Don’t think that these are internal organs. We’ve specially washed it clean. There’s no dirt at all. If you don’t believe me, smell it. It doesn’t smell!”
After saying this, no one dared to eat anymore. Only the sound of Ning Erlang eating pig intestines and noodles could be heard.
Ning Dalang, who had not tried it yet, looked at his brother’s stupid eating manner and then at his sister, who was full of anticipation and asking for praise. His heart softened, and he gritted his teeth and picked up a piece. He thought to himself that, at most, he would just swallow it.
However, as soon as the intestines entered his mouth, he realized it was not as difficult to swallow as he had imagined. It was soft and had a moderate chewiness. As he chewed, the soup absorbed during the cooking overflowed. The chilli’s fragrance increased the pig intestines’ unique taste just right.
His unintentionally furrowed brows quickly relaxed, and he picked up another piece. At the same time, he did not forget to give his sister a thumbs up.
Rong Yan, who had never seen this before, just wanted to change the topic, so he imitated her and asked, “What do you mean?”
Ning Erlang wiped his mouth. “Sister taught me. When someone gives a thumbs up, she means it’s praise.. Huh, are you not going to try it?”
