Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 44 Did I dig up your ancestral grave in my past life?

Ji Sisi smiled and said, "Although I come from the city, I'm not some celestial fairy who doesn't eat earthly food. I can tell the difference with common sense. I bought it on purpose."

"Did you buy this on purpose?" Zhang Shufen teased. "You city folks are definitely different from us country folks."

Ji Sisi pushed through the crowd and bent down to cover the things tightly.

"What's the difference? It's still just a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth."

Zhang Shufang wanted to refute, but then felt that Ji Sisi was right and there seemed to be no difference. She was just curious about how to eat pig intestines.
If Ji Sisi really knew how to make it, wouldn't she be able to buy some offal to eat in the future?

Offal is cheaper than meat, and it's all from pigs, so if it's prepared properly, it should taste about the same.

Zhang Shufang started to make her own plans.

"By the way, Sisi, I've noticed you often go up the mountain, and sometimes you come back empty-handed. Why don't you go up the mountain to collect firewood?"

Ji Sisi returned early this time and managed to snag a seat by the window. She rested her head against the window and opened her eyes to look when she heard someone calling her.

"I just went up the mountain to dig up some medicinal herbs. My health isn't good, so I need to take more supplements."

Sitting not far away, Wang Cuicui frowned, recalling that yesterday morning when she went to collect firewood, she heard someone say that there was a sickly man with heart disease in their courtyard who was fighting with female educated youth from Huaihua Commune for a man.

She was still wondering who it was before she went to bed last night, and now that Ji Sisi has said it, she has a reasonable suspicion that it is Ji Sisi!
Wang Cuicui clapped her hands to attract attention, pretending to be surprised.

"So that's why the people from Huaihua Commune said there was a sickly guy with heart disease in our courtyard. After all that talk, it turns out it was you!"

Wang Cuicui's eyes were malicious. "I'm so sorry, Sisi. If I had known you had a heart condition, I shouldn't have argued with you before. I couldn't bear the responsibility if I had upset you."

"And you guys, you were just laughing at someone for buying pig intestines. If you make Sisi angry and she gets sick from it, can you take responsibility? After all, we won't die from anger, but Sisi has a heart condition and she could die from anger."

The previously harmonious atmosphere inside the car was instantly turned stiff by Wang Cuicui, and those who had just mocked Ji Sisi began to feel uneasy.

Ji Sisi thought Wang Cuicui wouldn't cause any more trouble, but it turned out that what was bound to happen still happened.

Did she dig up Wang Cuicui's ancestral grave in her past life? Or are their birth charts inherently incompatible?
This person feels like he has fleas on his body and is unbearably itchy if he doesn't cause her trouble.

Ji Sisi yawned, completely unconcerned, and said, "I do have a minor heart problem, sister-in-law, don't worry. I never take your words to heart. In my eyes, your words are no different from farting."

"Sister-in-law, you don't mind me being so vulgar, do you? But you're such a considerate person, you probably won't hold a grudge against someone as sickly as me. After all, if you get into trouble, it's entirely your responsibility. Everyone on the bus knows that my sister-in-law and I have the most arguments."

Ji Sisi looked innocently at Wang Cuicui, who was about to explode with anger.

Wang Cuicui's punch felt like hitting cotton. She was so angry that she stammered, glared at Ji Sisi, and turned away to sulk.

That bitch will respond to anything, she looks like a vixen, and she's just as cunning as a fox!
When Ji Sisi got home, she immediately went to catch up on sleep. She had been busy all morning and hadn't had a proper rest, nor had she had time to eat a single bite of food.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ji Sisi came out of her spatial dimension, cleaned each of the jars she had bought, and placed them in the yard to dry in the sun.

After preparing the jar, she returned to the kitchen and washed the tender ginger she had bought that morning with clean water. After washing the three pounds of tender ginger, she peeled and cut it into pieces, and then put it all out in the sun to dry.

Ji Sisi stood with her hands on her hips, admiring the success of her work. Five jars were lined up side by side, and tender ginger was drying in the middle of the yard. Looking at this scene, Ji Sisi was very satisfied.

After getting everything ready, Ji Sisi returned to the kitchen and brought out the special guest – pork intestines!
It's still early, around four in the afternoon, there should still be time to pack up.

Ji Sisi first went to Li Hongying's house to ask her for help.

"Sisi, what brings you here? What's that smell?" Li Hongying was all smiles one second, then pinched her nose and searched for the source of the stench the next. "Who's carrying manure in the middle of the day?" Ji Sisi was stunned. Had the stench traveled this far?
"No one's carrying the manure, so I've come to ask my sister-in-law for help."

"What's the matter? Why did you buy pig intestines?"

Ji Sisi invited Li Hongying to her home.

"When I went there, there was no meat left, so I bought all of it. Sister Hongying, please put the bowl down for me. You'll see soon enough."

Ji Sisi's kitchen is open-air and separate from the living quarters.

The two squatted under the eaves, first dipping their hands in dry flour and rubbing them, then washing them clean and turning the intestines inside out. Next, they mixed vinegar and sugar and scrubbed the intestines, finally tearing off the fat. Both of them had tissues stuffed in their noses and were gagging as they washed.

Li Hongying: "Sisi...yue...I said, why did you buy this...yue..."

Ji Sisi closed her eyes. When she heard Li Hongying gagging, she also felt something rising in her stomach.

As expected, some money should be earned by others; the stench of this fatty intestine is not something an ordinary person can resist.

After cleaning, the originally yellowish large intestines are now white and tender, and the stench has completely disappeared.

Only then did Ji Sisi dare to breathe freely, remove the crumpled paper, and burst into tears.

Four words popped into my head: I'm alive!
"Sister-in-law, here are five catties of pork intestines. Two catties are for stir-frying, and three catties are for braising. At the current temperature, they can be kept in a cool place for about two days."

She bought this to try it out. If it works, she'll add it to the wedding banquet. After all, it's inexpensive, plentiful, and tastes good.

It's just a bit too much...

Li Hongying agreed, "Okay, how can I cooperate with you?"

Ji Sisi can't cook, so she serves as the fire starter and supervisor.

She didn't watch all those food videos in her past life for nothing; she's the type who can learn something at a glance but fails miserably when she tries to learn it herself.

Under Ji Sisi's guidance, Li Hongying first stir-fried the pork intestines until golden brown and then took them out. She then added a spoonful of broad bean paste, scallions, ginger, and garlic to stir-fry the base ingredients until fragrant before adding the pork intestines back in and stir-frying them together to infuse the flavor. Finally, she added Erjingtiao chili peppers, and a plate of stir-fried pork intestines with perfect color, aroma, and taste was ready to be served!
Even before it was taken out of the pot, the aroma had already spread throughout the kitchen, wafting out of the doors and windows, filling the surroundings with fragrance.

Ji Sisi took a deep breath of the aroma and gave Li Hongying a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law Hongying, this is the taste!"

Li Hongying stared incredulously at the stir-fried pork intestines on the plate.

Is this still the pig intestines she knows? She sniffed them, and the intestines had no foul smell at all; instead, they were emitting an enticing aroma.

"Sister Hongying, we already agreed that you would bring Xiaowu and the others to have dinner here tonight."

Ji Sisi's stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.

Li Hongying waved her hand in refusal, saying, "How can that be? There are three of us to feed. You can keep this good stuff for yourself."

"Aunt Ji, what delicious food are you making at home? I can smell the aroma from far away!"

Zhao Xiaowu led seven or eight children into Ji Sisi's house.
