Chen Xuan cut off a hind leg from a wild boar.
After chopping it into several large pieces,
he started a fire and set the pot on the stove.
Once the water was boiling, he threw the large pieces of the boar’s hind leg into the boiling pot.
To remove the dirty blood.
He actually wanted to add so white wine to remove the gay taste, but there wasn’t any at ho.
After boiling it for a while,
he took it out and cleaned it thoroughly.
He cut a piece from the pork fat he brought back yesterday and put it into the pot,
lting it, and instantly the aroma of lard filled the air!
He placed the large pieces of hind leg back into the pot.
Stir-frying vigorously, he added salt, soy sauce, and finally the essence of life.
He covered the pot with a lid,
and let it stew.
He stood next to the stove, watching the firewood.
As the stew simred for longer, the aroma of at filled not just the kitchen, but even the hall outside.
"Sister, it slls so good. What delicious food did you cook?"
At this ti,
the two won returned ho after washing clothes.
Su Yun thought her sister had cooked sothing in advance.
The sll was too tempting.
Their cravings were instantly aroused.
"No, I didn’t cook anything!"
Su Wanqiu was also puzzled.
Could it be...?
The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously thought of the only possibility.
But,
could it be!
They both denied it in their hearts.
How could Chen Xuan possibly cook!
They quickly went into the kitchen to take a look,
only to see,
he was sitting on a small stool, bobbing his head, humming so little tune.
"Brother Xuan... are you cooking?"
Su Yun’s charming eyes widened as she looked at the scene.
She still couldn’t quite believe it.
Her husband actually knew how to cook.
"How is it? Does it sll good?"
Chen Xuan smiled proudly.
"It slls amazing, so delicious!"
Su Yun nodded vigorously, even swallowing her saliva in coordination.
A classic supporting act.
"Heh heh, I’ll give you a big piece in a bit!"
Then he looked at Su Wanqiu, "Sister-in-law, you try my cooking too later."
However,
she wasn’t like Su Yun, who was a little glutton. She had eaten enough in the morning and wasn’t hungry at all.
But she was curious,
was he hungry?
So she asked, "Didn’t we just have breakfast a while ago? You’re hungry again?"
"Yes! I’m hungry."
Chen Xuan wasn’t embarrassed, and he explained, "After becoming a martial artist, I consu more energy, so I get hungry faster. I noticed you weren’t ho, so I decided to cook on my own."
Upon hearing this,
Su Wanqiu’s eyes revealed a hint of guilt.
Chen Xuan, as the pillar of the family, shouldered the responsibilities of the household, and he was only 18.
She hadn’t realized he was hungry because of her oversight.
Actually,
she couldn’t be blad for this; as a simple village girl, how could she know about the needs of martial artists.
Still,
she felt that since Chen Xuan took care of external affairs, the household matters should be managed neatly, and she shouldn’t let him have to do chores.
Now,
even such a basic need as eating wasn’t taken care of.
It was really troubling her.
On the other hand,
Chen Xuan was perceptive and noticed her thoughts.
So he blad it on himself, saying, "I’m sorry, Sister-in-law, I didn’t tell you, it’s my fault. If there’s any change next ti, I’ll be sure to tell you in advance!"
"Alright, definitely do that!"
Su Wanqiu was imnsely moved.
Her brother-in-law, indeed, could both take care of the family and was so considerate.
At this mont,
she couldn’t help but feel a little envious of her sister, Su Yun.
For finding such a good husband.
....
Chen Xuan’s cooking skills were truly not just exaggeration.
At least,
Su Yun had oil all over her mouth.
And she couldn’t stop praising him.
As for,
Su Wanqiu, perhaps because of her lingering guilt, or because she wanted him to eat more, she only took a small bite.
Yet the taste truly surprised her.
At least,
it was not inferior to her culinary skills.
After devouring almost an entire large pig leg, Chen Xuan finally felt satiated.
"Burp~~~"
He let out a long belch.
Looking at the pile of large bones on the table,
Chen Xuan clicked his tongue.
Such an appetite.....
If he were a competitive eater in his past life, he would definitely be a champion eater.
"This should keep full a bit longer now."
.....
Just as Chen Xuan suspected, after eating so much at, even when lunch ca around, he didn’t encounter the sa issue as in the morning.
However,
he didn’t eat any less during lunch.
Even though he wasn’t hungry.
But he could still eat.
By evening, the sky had darkened.
Seeing that it was almost ti,
Chen Xuan inford the two won before heading to Wang Daming’s house.
"I wonder if Uncle has finished forging it."
After all,
making such a powerful bow in such a short ti made him a bit worried.
Moreover,
Uncle would leave Shuanggang Village for the Governnt Office tomorrow.
If it wasn’t finished, it would be troubleso.
At that mont, Wang Daming’s house was bustling.
The clanging sounds were incessant.
"Uncle Wang, is my bow ready?"
"Almost, almost, find a place to sit!"
Without even lifting his head, Wang Daming continued to sweat and hamr away.
"Brother Xuan."
Upon seeing him, Wang Hai ran over.
He reached out a hand, in a childish voice, "Brother Xuan, hug hug!"
"Sure, a hug from big brother!"
Chen Xuan picked him up in his arms and then noticed there was sugar residue on his lips. "Oh, there’s still sugar on your mouth. Is it sweet?" he asked with a smile.
"Yeah, so sweet, so sweet. Thank you, Brother Xuan. Daddy said you gave it to . Xiaohai hasn’t had sothing sweet in a long ti, it’s so delicious."
As he spoke,
he even stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.
Showing a very happy smile.
"This child, today he had glutinous rice cakes with a little plate of white sugar, ate five pieces and didn’t stop. Aren’t you worried about a stomach ache?" At this mont, Wang Daming turned his head, apparently scolding his son, but his hearty smile betrayed him.
Along with the love showing in his eyes.
"It’s fine, it’s fine, kids love sweets, besides, five pieces won’t give him a tummy ache. If it’s not enough, we have more at my house!"
"No need, no need, it’s enough. These white buns and sugar are rare treats, can’t have too much, it’ll spoil the taste."
Even before Wang Hai in Chen Xuan’s arms said anything, Wang Daming by the stove was quick to refuse.
"It’s alright, Uncle Wang."
"No, really, no need. Once your bow is forged, I have to tidy up, so I won’t be going."
Wang Daming actually didn’t want to trouble him.
Chen Xuan also saw this, thought for a mont, and didn’t say more.
Then,
he just played with Wang Hai beside him.
After about an hour, Wang Daming by the stove suddenly let out a cheerful laugh.
"It’s done, finally done. Xiaoxuanzi, this bow took a lot of your uncle’s effort."
You could see,
Wang Daming ca over holding the bow.
Imdiately,
Chen Xuan could tell this bow was extraordinary.
He set down Wang Hai,
and took the bow.
As soon as he took it, there was an unusual chill.
It even felt icy to the touch.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing this, Wang Daming also laughed heartily,
"Isn’t it super cold? I added cold iron to this bow. I got it many years ago by chance and have kept it at ho. This ti it’s your good fortune, kid."
