Yan Zi couldn't resist and wanted to help, but her big belly made it inconvenient. She was afraid of being bumped into by others while they were busy, so she simply went back to the house.

Seeing that there was someone to help, Ni'er no longer worried about whether she could finish the job before the guests arrived, and she directed her aunt and Niu Li in the kitchen.

Even though Niu Li is still a child, he is good at working at critical moments. After all, he helps to make soy milk every day, which is a natural exercise.

My aunt has a cheerful personality. She doesn't disobey Nier just because she is young. She lets her do whatever she wants and is very respectful to her.

I thought that I was just helping out and it wasn't my own family hosting a banquet, so I must not overstep my authority and take away the host's authority.

I was also worried about whether I could take care of a child. After observing her for a while, I found that Ni'er was really amazing. She was organized and arranged her time reasonably. She was never rushed and didn't have a lot of free time. For the first time, I felt some admiration for a child.

On the other hand, my own child, not to mention being one or two years older than Ni'er, could easily burn his hands when boiling water, and he didn't dare touch hot water for a long time afterwards.

He couldn't even hold the knife when cutting vegetables. He was staggering all over the place and looked very scary. We didn't dare let him hold a knife again. He couldn't do his job properly, let alone plan these things.

Yan Zi and the third brother are so lucky to have such a capable, smart and money-making daughter. Although Niu Li is still young now, with his sharp eyes for judging people, when he grows up to his sister's age in two years, he will not be worse than her. It is true that a golden phoenix flies out of a chicken coop.

Nier started to prepare the garlic pork. She took out the large piece of pork belly that her father had bought in advance, heated the pan, rinsed off the skin, and pressed it into the pan.

After the sizzling sound, I picked it up and found it was a little black and burnt. I scraped it with a knife and washed it. All the dirt and pig hair were cleaned away.

Clean the pot, pour in the freshly collected spring water, put the meat into the pot with the pig skin facing up.

It has been a long time since I have eaten such a big piece of meat. The clear water and the red and white meat looked so good. I poured some wine to remove the fishy smell, added some onions, ginger and common spices at home, covered the lid and started cooking.

The first time I saw the introduction of this dish on a recipe, I thought it was simple and delicious. The previous braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs were also simple to make. I guess good meat will never taste bad no matter how it is cooked.

The meat is already cooked here, and we can start making sweet and sour pork ribs over there. The newly built kitchen is great, with several stoves. If we need to entertain guests, we can cook several dishes at the same time. It is much more spacious than before. I never thought that cooking could be such a pleasure.

In the previous small and cramped kitchen, a family of four worked in it every night making soy milk and tofu. They could hardly turn their bodies around, and had to be very careful not to hit their heads when they squatted down to light the fire.

It will be very hot if you get close to a fire. In winter, it is hot inside the house but cold outside. It only takes a short time to walk from the kitchen to the bedroom, just a few steps, so it is easy to catch a cold.

With a kitchen this big, it doesn’t feel particularly hot when you make a fire. The air circulates very well and you don’t feel choked at all. It’s great to be rich. Although it’s a mud house, it’s very comfortable.

It can't be compared with those blue brick houses, but it is better than any other and worse than any other. If you know how to be content, you will naturally be happy and joyful.

There was a smile on Ni'er's lips unconsciously. She actually felt a sense of happiness while working. It's great to have money.

While the meat was stewing in the pot, the seasonings that would be used later were prepared. My aunt had already peeled a head of garlic and mashed it into garlic paste with a mortar. Ni'er originally thought that since it wasn't all garlic paste, it would be the same if she used a knife to mash it, but my aunt stopped me.

"No, the one that comes out with a knife is different from the one that comes out with a mortar. You have to listen to me."

Usually I want to save trouble and don't want to wash more dishes, so I just use a knife to mash the garlic every time. But when I see my aunt pouring the mashed garlic out of the mortar, it is really different. The fragrance is stronger and thicker. When I pour it on the meat, the fragrance will make you feel dizzy.

My aunt is a person who can read people's minds. She had heard before that this family would sell the recipes to restaurants and make a lot of money.

The last time I went to the town, I specifically asked what dishes were available. I was shocked when I saw the prices. Although I was drooling at the aroma of the dishes, I didn't dare to order a single dish.

If someone else had such an opportunity, they would definitely write down all the steps, learn them secretly, make them at home, and even make some money by selling them to restaurants.

However, when the aunt saw Ni'er preparing the sauce over there, she turned away and faced away. This was not allowed. She made money from this and it was not ethical to steal her skills.

Nier glanced in the direction of her aunt. If she needed any help in the future, she could still ask her for help. She was a decent person, did her job well, and would not feel resentful for being ordered around by a child. She nodded gently at her back.

After making the mashed garlic, I added some soy sauce, vinegar, salt and sugar into it. I also saw some freshly made chili oil next to it, so I scooped some in.

Although the recipe doesn't mention adding this, I always feel that it will taste better with it. A simple bowl of ingredients is ready, and I use chopsticks to mix it evenly.

I'm drooling just by smelling the stuffing. I wonder what it would taste like when mixed with meat.

When I thought the time was about right, I lifted the lid of the pot. A vapor mixed with the smell of spices and meat blew in my face. I pierced the skin with chopsticks and it went through easily. It was time to take it out of the pot.

Take out the meat and set it aside to cool. At this time, the sweet and sour spare ribs on the other side were also ready. Auntie scooped out the meat, put it on a plate, and looked at it with admiration.

The dishes that can be sold to restaurants are different, they are translucent and bright red, and they make people happy just by looking at them. I have never seen such beautiful dishes in my life.

When the aunt saw Nier pick up the knife, she was a little worried, "What are you going to do? I'll do it."

Ni'er knew that she was not as good as her aunt in using a knife. After all, she had been cooking for many years and she could not compare with her aunt in terms of experience.

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, "Cut it like this. Cut the meat into thin slices. The thinner the better."

The aunt picked up a knife, cut a piece and showed it to Ni'er.

It was a little thick, and Nier shook her head. "Can it be thinner? Just cut it in half and it will be about the same."

I didn't expect it to be that thin, but it's no problem for me. I haven't done such a challenging thing for a long time.

Wash the knife first, pick up a bowl, turn it over, sharpen the knife against the bottom of the bowl, touch it with your hand, it is very sharp, good, it should be able to cut into the way Nier asked.

She cut another slice and it looked like it was only half as thick as before. Nier lifted the meat and held it up to the light. It was so thin that she could see from one side to the other. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Another key to this dish is to make it thin, the thinner the better.
