"What's going on? Why are you back at this time?”
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang looked back at the clock on the wall. They were not mistaken. Their daughter and son-in-law should be at work at this time. How could they be free to come back?
"Dad, Mom." " Dad!" The watermelon's father shouted and stood there awkwardly. It was a little awkward to say that his son didn't want to eat and insisted on coming over to eat braised pork.
Little Ginger Flower did not have such concerns. He pushed the watermelon forward.
"Dad, Mom, it's been a long time since Watermelon came home. He's been making a lot of noise, and we're all working. We don't have time to play with him, so we want to leave him with you and let you take care of him for a few days.”
Before Mother Jiang could answer, Watermelon had already pounced on her and hugged her.
"Grandma, I want to play with you. Can you buy me some fragrant braised pork?”
"Of course it's good. My watermelon is so cute.”Mother Jiang held her grandson's hand and pinched her chubby little face lovingly. She felt that her little face seemed to have lost a little weight.
"Oh yeah, that's great. I love Grandma the most.”Watermelon grabbed Mother Jiang and planted a kiss on her cheek on her tiptoes. Then, she turned around and ran toward Lu Jun's braised food shop.
"Hey, don't run around." Watermelon Daddy shouted but didn't stop him.
Children in the countryside had a lot of freedom, unlike in the city, where they could only stay in small suites most of the time.
When the children grew up, they could run around everywhere. With fewer cars, the neighbors would not find it annoying. A group of children could play together for an entire day, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. They could go anywhere they wanted, and no adults would chase them away.
"What's Watermelon doing? Why can't you guys handle him?”Mother Jiang looked at her daughter and son-in-law's dispirited appearance and could not help but worry.
Daddy Watermelon looked like he didn't want to talk about it. Littleflower Jiang had no choice but to tell Mother Jiang what had happened.
"In any case, we've thought of all the ways we can think of. This little brat is just unwilling, so we can only send him to you.”
"Ha, in order to eat the braised pork made by that child Little Lu, he even skipped his meal.”
When Father and Mother Jiang heard this, they were amused.
"Alright, you guys go ahead. We'll take good care of our grandson.”
Father Jiang started to chase them away.
"Then I'll have to trouble Dad and Mom."
Watermelon's father yawned again. The couple didn't stand on ceremony. They took the morning off and continued to work in the afternoon. They drove away without even sitting down.
Meanwhile, in the Lu family's courtyard, Lu Jun was cleaning up the pig head.
He had just bought a fresh pig head from the market in the morning. It was big and had tight flesh. He needed to clean the pig head before he could remove the braise.
In the past, Father Lu was the one who did all this, but now that he was back, how could he let Father Lu continue to work hard?
After all, dealing with the pig head was more troublesome than washing the intestines.
When buying pig heads on the market, the seller would usually help to deal with them. The method was also very simple. They would directly use a spray gun to burn the pig head and burn the fur clean. After burning it, the buyer would take it back and wash it.
However, the pig's head that was processed in this way was not handled quickly at all. There were still many hairs and roots hidden under the pig skin that were not cleaned.
The pig's head that was processed in this way, whether it was braised or something else, not only did it smell fishy, but it also tasted extremely bad.
Therefore, when the Lu family's braised food shop cleaned up the pig head, they added a step to the spray gun and used pine resin.
After removing the coarse hair from the pig's head, he used a spray gun to burn the hair that was visible to the naked eye. The next step was the most important step. He set fire to a large basin filled with pine resin. When the pine resin was completely boiled, he took advantage of the time when the pine resin was boiling to put the pig's head in.
At this time, the pig's head was evenly covered with pine resin before being taken out. Naturally, it would cool down. Then, he forcefully removed the pine resin. The fur and roots hidden under the pig skin would be pulled out along with the stickiness of the pine resin.
He soaked it in warm water, scraped it, and dried it. Then, he took out the pig's tongue and brain, removed the inedible parts, and washed it again. Only then did the pig's head be properly washed.
Lu Jun placed the pig's head that was covered in pine resin into the basin that he had prepared. Just as he was busy, a small bean bounced in from outside the courtyard like a small cannonball.
He took a closer look and realized that this wasn't the watermelon next door. He wiped his hands and carried the warm pine resin to a place where children couldn't touch it.
"Little guy, didn't you just go home with your mother two days ago? Why are you back again?”
Watermelon grinned, revealing eight white baby teeth.
"Uncle Lu, I want to eat braised pork. The braised pork bought at home isn't as good as yours. Grandma said that she would buy me your meat.”
A child could not explain it clearly. Lu Jun thought for a moment and then understood that the watermelon was probably back in the county town. In the end, he wanted to eat braised food and could not buy anything as delicious as his.
At this moment, the marinade on the stove had just boiled. It had not been seasoned yet, and the various side dishes were still being processed. Where did the marinade come from? Lu Jun pinched the little fellow's face.
"There's no braised meat now. You'll have to wait until dinner time.”
"Yes, I'll eat obediently until dinner time.”
Anyway, Uncle Lu's house had some food to sell, so he would wait. For a bite of delicious food, the little watermelon had learned to wait patiently.
He stared at the big pig head on the ground and tilted his head curiously.
"Uncle, why did this pig's head turn black?”
"This is to make the pigs cleaner so that you can eat delicious meat at night.”
Lu Jun held the little fellow's face and pinched it twice. A child of this age was really too cute.
"Watermelon, come back quickly. Don't delay your Uncle Lu's work.”
Grandma Watermelon, who had sent her daughter and son-in-law away, came over to look for the watermelon. Seeing that the child was circling around Lu Jun, she walked forward, bent down, and picked up the watermelon.
"It's okay. I'm free now.”
Lu Jun brought a stool over to Grandma Watermelon. Grandma didn't sit down. Instead, she pointed at the watermelon in her arms and said with a smile,"Little Lu, you're really amazing. My grandson remembered the braised food you made. When he left two days ago, he was already throwing a tantrum and rolling around.”
"In the end, this child was so good. He went home and made a fuss about eating braised food every day. His father bought a lot of braised food, but he refused to eat it. He insisted on eating your family's food. He almost went on a hunger strike.”
Although he knew that the braised food he made was delicious, Lu Jun was still shocked by the little wimp.
The little wimp actually went on a hunger strike just to eat his braised food. This was definitely true love.
Then, Lu Jun raised his head and laughed out loud. This was the greatest affirmation of his culinary skills. It also meant that his braised food had already surpassed all the braised food in Chengyang County.
As expected, the system's products were definitely top-notch.
Watermelon did not feel embarrassed about being laughed at. His mind was filled with the desire to eat braised pork, and he actually began to urge Lu Jun.
"Uncle Lu, hurry up and make braised pork. Don't be lazy. I really want to eat watermelon.”
Look, this little guy is so mischievous. He even knows how to urge people to work.
For a moment, the Lu family's courtyard was filled with laughter.
