Chapter 153 - A Meal In Ye Lulu's Room

Apart from the pork ribs, there were also ginger and peppercorns.

After that, the pork ribs were filled with water. As they wanted to drink hot soup, they added a little more water and directly stewed it.

It was in a boiling state for another fifteen minutes or so. After that, it was to be slowly simmered. The stewed pork ribs would have a thick and white soup, while the ribs would be soft and mellow.

An hour of stewing was enough. The Guan family each had their own matters to attend to, so they stewed it for a little longer, close to two hours. It was stewed so well until the bone marrow seeped into the soup.

Although they did not add much, the fragrance seeped out and lingered above the Guan family house for a long time.

Ye Lulu asked Eldest sister-in-law Guan to add more pepper. The weather was cold, so adding more pepper would remove the moisture.

Even though it was mid-day, winter was about to arrive. It had rained heavily yesterday as well. Today, not only was there no sunlight, but the weather was also wet. It felt cold and uncomfortable.

The Guan family started their meal.

At noon, only Eldest sister-in-law Guan, Guan Chixi, Guan Chibei, and Ye Lulu were present.

Everyone thought for a moment and felt that it was Ye Lulu who had suggested this. Thinking that they were not so particular, they decided to move the stove to Ye Lulu's house and everyone started eating there!

The casserole was stewed on the stove, bubbling. There were chunks of pork ribs floating in the thick white soup. The soup was alluring and fragrant.

It was cold and wet outside.

Needless to say, everyone could not wait anymore!

Of course, they had to drink a bowl of such good pork ribs soup!

Everyone first scooped a bowl of soup for themselves. The villagers used large bowls. With a big bowl in their hands, they blew out two mouthfuls of cold air. Before drinking it, they already felt extremely satisfied.

Ye Lulu looked at the soup. It was not bad. The babies might be able to try some other food as well. The children from the farms had been raised poorly, so they were not particular about food.

Hence, she got Eldest sister-in-law Guan to scoop out a small bowl and put it by the side to cool down.

The adults drank the soup first.

After drinking it in one go, the fresh taste of the pork ribs, the mellow taste of the soup, and the warmth of pepper rushed down their throats and into their stomachs. Heat rushed to the top of their heads. Guan Chixi, who was the most gluttonous, let out a cry and nearly jumped up. He narrowed his eyes and kept exclaiming, "Delicious! Delicious!"

What kind of immortal soup was this? It was just pork ribs and some pepper! There weren't even any wolfberries or other ingredients!

But it was already so delicious?!

Ye Lulu also took a sip. Needless to say, the cold air was soothed from head to toe by the warm soup. It was simply wonderful.

She looked at Guan Chixi. It was not because their cooking skills were superb, nor was it because the ingredients they placed were amazing. It was purely because the pork ribs were slaughtered daily by the ancient people. They were naturally not polluted and the meat was extremely fresh.

The water in the soup was spring water from the mountains, so it was extremely sweet to drink.

This pot of soup was made with the purest ingredients. The taste was naturally different, and there wasn't much stuff added to remove the foul smell. However, the pork ribs weren't fishy at all.

Furthermore, they only added the simplest seasonings when stewing it, so as to maximize the original flavor of the soup.

The few of them drank the pork ribs soup first. It was so comfortable that every pore on their bodies opened up. Even Guan Chibei's mouth was filled with a fresh fragrance. He glanced at Ye Lulu.. She was indeed brilliant at eating.
