Chapter 231: Stewed Pig’s Feet with Royal Wine (Ch 231)

I left with high spirits, but came back with withered chrysanthemums.

When Qi Jia, covered in disgrace, returned to the Mushroom House with three unharmed girls.

The director, Huang Lei and others were all shocked. After the cause of the incident was explained, they all looked scared.

At noon, it started to drizzle outside again.

Under Qi Jia’s supervision, Chef Huang tried his best to prepare several delicious dishes.

There are braised beef, garlic-fried Chinese cabbage, lettuce fried with bacon, etc.

As for the pig’s trotters and pork that Qi Jia brought back, Huang Lei planned to keep them until the evening.

I will make a dish of “braised pig’s trotters with yellow wine” and “authentic Northeastern sweet and sour pork” for everyone

Everyone sat around in the yard, eating their meals while watching the misty and hazy ink-wash mountain scenery in the distance.

Huang Lei kept praising the freshness of the beef Qi Jia bought and encouraged everyone to eat more.

“Wow! This beef is so delicious!”

After eating a piece, He Jiong immediately gave a thumbs up and praised it.

The sensible Zhang Zifeng and Peng Yuchang immediately followed suit and gave full marks.

From the appearance, it is pretty good. Qi Jia picked up a piece and felt that the taste was also okay.

But the only downside is that it was overcooked and hard to chew.

Qi Jia seemed to be thinking about it, but in fact he chewed it repeatedly, pretending to swallow it easily, and then gave it to him.

“It reminds me of the taste of my childhood.”

When I was a kid, my parents went out to do farm work and asked Qi Jia to stir-fry the beef they had just bought.

It was Qi Jia’s first time cooking beef, and he ended up overcooking it and not tender enough.

At noon, after my parents came back to eat, my father sighed that the cow had died in vain because of Qi Jia’s cooking skills.

Qi Jia was so angry that he threw away his chopsticks. After being beaten up by the couple, he continued eating with tears in his eyes.

Huang Lei didn’t know and thought Qi Jia was praising him, so he smiled even more happily.

Then he turned his attention to the two girls, Zhang Jingyi and Song Fangyan.

“Mm, very fragrant, so delicious.”

“Wow, so tender and delicious.”

The two of them couldn’t even act. They lowered their heads and picked up a piece of beef, biting it hard like a lion shaking its head.

He also kept praising her for being so tender, which made Huang Lei’s face turn green. Qi Jia hurried to help smooth things over.

“Teacher Huang, do you use Pixian bean paste to stew beef?”

Huang Lei’s attention was immediately diverted when he heard this. He slapped his thigh and said happily,

“Oh, that’s right. The best thing to use for beef stew is Pixian bean paste, which is delicious and fragrant! Qi Jia, I didn’t expect you to be good at cooking.”

“I know a little bit,” Qi Jia waved his hand modestly, and then followed Huang Lei’s words and began to praise his cooking skills.

Huang Lei was so flattered that he felt extremely comfortable. Qi Jia estimated that if he told Duoduo that he wanted to marry her now, he would agree and would not even ask for a dowry.

He Jiong, who was standing by, was happily eating lettuce.

I thought to myself that this meal was so relaxing. It would be great if Qi Jia was here every day.

At the same time,

The video of Qi Jia vs. the violent GG Bond in the morning was filmed by many villagers who were watching and posted online.

At this time, it was going viral on TikTok, and netizens who had seen it all said,

“Whose general is this? He is so brave!”

After learning that it was Qi Jia, everyone was shocked and accused Qi Jia of being ungrateful.

With such a good figure, she should have shown it to netizens earlier, but she has been hiding it all this time.

As a result, a large number of netizens flocked to Qi Jia’s account to leave comments, saying bluntly,

“That’s right, I just want your body!”

After learning that Qi Jia was injured,

Girls including Zhang Ruonan, Zhou Ye, Zhuang Dafei, and Liu Haocun called to express their concern.

As for the men, they all sent WeChat messages to show their concern, but no one called.

At noon, after lunch, everyone sat in the yard and chatted for a while.

It’s time to start working again. The program crew paid everyone to come and chat, not just to chat.

Huang Lei started to prepare dinner. He got a clay pot and took out a whole bottle of unopened rice wine.

He said excitedly that he would make a special dish for everyone tonight, “braised pig’s trotters with rice wine”.

He Jiong brought Peng Yuchang to help Huang Lei, and Zhang Zifeng was responsible for sweeping the floor.

And Qi Jia and the three guests,

In order to provide program materials and effects, they were arranged to help plant vegetables and weed in the vegetable fields.

This little thing was nothing to Qi Jia, who grew up doing farm work.

He was making ridges and cultivating the soil by himself, swinging the hoe quickly.

Zhang Jingyi and Song Fangyan followed him and planted the seedlings according to his instructions.

After planting the land, the three of them are responsible for picking vegetables for tonight, and Zhang Jingyi is going to pick beans.

Qi Jia stopped him because he felt the beans he had eaten in the morning were too old.

While picking vegetables, Qi Jia called the two girls to his side and taught them to be smart about eating tonight.

No matter how it tastes, just praise it as much as you can. Teacher Huang likes to hear good things.

In particular, the braised pig’s trotters in rice wine. Judging from Teacher Huang’s appearance, he seemed to have high hopes for this dish.

After hearing this, the two girls nodded sensibly and said that they would definitely perform well tonight.

Even if Mr. Huang made a pot of poison tonight, they would still praise him for making the poison so delicious!

The weather in the mountains is gloomy, making it difficult to notice the passage of time.

When the lights in the yard came on, everyone realized that it was already night.

Qi Jiagua frowned and looked at Peng Yuchang who was busy adding firewood to the stove, and asked in a low voice,

“Are you sure that Mr. Huang poured a whole bottle of rice wine in without adding a drop of water?”

Peng Yuchang nodded, picked up an empty bottle from the trash can and shook it.

“It’s certain. It’s all gone. There’s really not a drop left.”

Qi Jia’s mouth twitched, and he glanced at the casserole that was still bubbling with steam.

I thought to myself, I have only heard of drunken chicken and drunken shrimp, but this is the first time I have seen drunken pig’s trotters. Could this be some kind of dark dish?

With a worried heart, he walked into the kitchen again. Huang Lei saw him coming and laughed,

“You must be hungry. Wait a minute. I’ll let the pork stew dry and we can start eating.”

While speaking, he poured a few red hawthorns from the basin into the pot and stir-fried them with the pork.

What kind of operation is this? Qi Jia was confused. Are you sure it won’t cause diarrhea?

“Teacher Huang, why do we need to put hawthorn in this?” Qi Jia couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Huang Lei answered while he was stirring the food.

“It’s good for relieving greasiness. Is this your first time eating sweet and sour pork? Don’t worry, it will be delicious.”

As if to reassure Qi Jia of his cooking skills, Huang Lei shook the pot in a very professional manner.

Qi Jia didn’t understand, how much effect could an uncut hawthorn have in relieving greasiness?

But it was indeed his first time to eat sweet and sour pork, and he was always cautious about what he said and did when he didn’t understand something.

So, after praising him for a few words, he left the kitchen with a worried look on his face.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

As soon as Huang Lei’s sweet and sour pork was served on the table, it immediately received rave reviews from everyone, led by Teacher He.

After Qi Jia’s afternoon advice, Zhang Jingyi and Song Fangyan, two girls,

At this moment, it was as if my Ren and Du meridians were opened, and I took pictures of the sweet and sour pork with my mobile phone.

They kept praising the taste and smell of the food, and they wanted to take a picture and post it on their Moments.

At the end, he asked Huang Lei if he could share the recipe, which provided Huang Lei with a lot of emotional value.

“Oh, and there are pig’s trotters, wait a moment.”

Huang Lei slapped his forehead, trotted to the stove, opened the lid and smelled it, his expression intoxicated.

Wrapping the casserole in a towel, he carefully walked towards the dining table, laughing before he even arrived.

“Hahaha, the rice wine braised pig’s trotters are here~”
