Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

After several people arrived at the main room, Jiang Luorou ordered Ning Zicheng: "Zicheng, go to the kitchen and get some water."

Zicheng left in response and walked in with a bowl of water in a moment.

Jiang Luorou looked at the full bowl of water silently, complaining silently in her heart. Hey, this cheap son is quite honest, why don't you bring the water tank here.

After Jiang Luorou saw the water brought, he said to Ning Zimo and Ning Zicheng: "You two watch carefully, I will only demonstrate this once."

After that, pick up the brush and gently press the belly of the brush to loosen the hair of the brush, then put it in water to rinse the glue inside. He would open a brush and complete it. After the brush was opened, he would move out of the way to signal Ning Zicheng to open that brush.

Ning Zicheng imitated Jiang Luorou and opened a brush.

Jiang Luorou stepped forward and praised: "Well, Zicheng did a good job, let's start grinding the ink next." After that, he put a few drops of water on the inkstone and started to pick up the ink stick, imitating the way in the TV series Grind the ink in a circular motion. When you see gurgling black water on the inkstone, put down the ink stick to indicate that the ink has been polished.

Then he took out a writing brush and used cotton to absorb the water, dipped it at an angle and dipped it in a little ink and began to write his name on the hemp paper. Jiang Luorou was quite satisfied when looking at the neat large characters. Fortunately, I had practiced calligraphy for a few days, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself in front of the two children.

After feeling a little proud, he motioned to Ning Zicheng to give it a try.

Ning Zicheng picked up another brush and used cotton to absorb the moisture inside, then directly picked up the brush and dipped it vertically into the inkstone.

Jiang Luorou quickly stopped and said, "Zicheng, stop. The brush should be dipped diagonally and gently like this. If you dip it in ink like this, it will easily break the brush."

Ning Zicheng nodded to show that he already knew, and imitated Jiang Luorou's example, dipped in enough ink, and wrote on the paper. Who knew he would write a big ink block at a time.

Ning Zicheng didn't know what to do, so he looked at Jiang Luorou with pleading eyes.

Jiang Luorou explained patiently: "Zicheng, don't worry. It's always like this when you first start writing. Just practice more and it will be fine.

Ning Zicheng looked at the paper on the table distressedly and said, "But mother, these things are so expensive. It's a pity to use them to practice calligraphy. I can't get rid of them."

Jiang Luorou touched Ning Zicheng's head and said, "You don't have to use these things to practice calligraphy. We can write on the table."

As he spoke, Jiang Luorou rinsed the brush dipped in ink with clean water, then took the brush and wrote big characters on the table.

After Jiang Luorou taught the two children how to use these things, she packed the ink strips and unused paper in the cabinet and said to the two children: "This ink has been ground, don't waste it. Use the ink on the paper first." Practice, when the paper is full, dip it in water and practice on the table. Starting from tomorrow, when you are free during the day, dip it in water and practice on the table. In the evening, I will give each of you a piece of paper dipped in ink to practice. By the way , Remember, when you are not practicing calligraphy, put the brush against the pen holder on the table over there. Don't soak it in water, you know?"

After Ning Zicheng and Ning Zimo said that they would follow the instructions carefully, they each took a writing brush and started practicing calligraphy there.

Jiang Luorou also came outside the gate and continued cleaning the pig intestines.

At this moment, Ms. Zhao walked out of her home and saw Jiang Luorou washing things here.

Then he brought a small stool and sat next to Jiang Luorou to chat.

: "Brothers and sisters, how was the business going to set up a stall today?"

Jiang Luorou smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please remember that business is not bad. By the way, why don't you see fourth brother?"

Just as Zhao was about to answer Jiang Luorou's words, she glanced at the basin underground and asked with wide eyes in confusion: "Brother and sister, what do you think you do to buy so many pig intestines? This thing?" It tastes fishy and bitter when cooked, and is inedible. Isn’t this a pure waste of money?”

Jiang Luorou raised her eyebrows and said to Mrs. Zhao with a hint of pride: "Sister-in-law, who said this food tastes bad? It's because they don't know how to make it. I tell you, if this food is done well, it will be much more delicious than that big fat meat. If you don’t believe it, make it tonight and try it.”

Mrs. Zhao said sheepishly: "That's right. My brothers and sisters are so good at cooking. They must be delicious. Even if I always eat your food, I always feel guilty and ashamed." He was talking and his hands were busy. Then, we plunged into the basin and washed the pig intestines together.

Jiang Luorou: "Sister-in-law, you haven't told me yet, why is fourth brother not at home?"

Ms. Zhao: "Isn't it that the family has been sorted out? It's not a problem to work at the dock to supplement the family income. Maybe my brother and sister will meet each other one day. By the way, my brother and sister, no matter how delicious this thing is, you I can’t buy so much. Can I eat it?

Jiang Luorou: "Of course I can't finish it all by myself. Isn't this a stall on the dock? It's definitely not possible to sell the same thing all the time. There are people who work hard there, and those who sell meat there must be selling It won’t move. This pig intestine is different. It’s cheap and delicious and will definitely sell well.”

Zhao said with a look of disbelief: "Brothers and sisters, there are so many ways to do this business. It is really not something ordinary people can do."

Jiang Luorou: "Sister-in-law, the pig's intestines are almost washed. Why don't you come into the house with me and sit down? By the way, Xiao Liu'er wants to learn how to cook. Call her over too."

As soon as Mrs. Zhao heard that she was going to teach her daughter how to sit still, she patted her butt, picked up the small bench, and went back to call for help.

Jiang Luorou was not idle either. She put the washed pig intestines into a clean bamboo basket to drain the water, then went to the stove and started working.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao entered the middle of the courtyard with Ning Xiaoliu, Ning Xiaohua and Ning Ziqing who were visiting.

When Ning Xiaoliu and Mrs. Zhao saw Jiang Luorou busy in the kitchen, they went directly to the kitchen and started helping.

Mrs. Zhao sat next to the stove and started to light the fire, while Ning Xiaoliu followed Jiang Luorou and started to start.

Jiang Luorou added an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put the pig intestines into the pot under cold water, and added an appropriate amount of rice wine, scallions, and ginger slices to increase the aroma and remove the fishy smell. After the water in the pot is boiled, boil it for about six minutes, then take it out, rinse it with cold water and set aside.

Jiang Luorou was not idle during the blanching period and began to prepare the marinade.

Jiang Luorou took out peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cumin, bay leaves, grass fruits, cloves, and a handful of dried chili peppers, mixed them together and set aside.

Next, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil and sugar to the pot and start frying until the sugar color becomes brown. Boil the sugar until it turns maroon red and when it bubbles up, add enough water and mix well and set aside.

In another pot, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil and stir-fry the spices you just prepared. After they are fragrant, pour in the sugar you just boiled.

Next, put the processed pig intestines into the pot and start seasoning the brine.

Add appropriate amount of salt, sugar, soy sauce and rice wine, wait for the water to boil, simmer over low heat for more than an hour and then remove from the pot.
