At first, he thought it was just some refined lard residue. After all, Su Pangya used to love eating this in the past. Until there was one time that he met Su Ergou by accident, he had a sausage in his mouth. He was nibbling it while drying the bacon in the yard!

-Lard residue

-Chinese Sausage / Lap Cheong / Lap Chong

-Drying the bacon

At that moment, he was sure that the Su family had really eaten meat!

It was not lard residue, and it was not Su Pangya’s one person meal. Their whole family could eat enough!

Mrs. He was so envious that she patted her husband’s shoulder and said, “Child’s father, didn’t our family buy a few catties of meat? Tomorrow, you can go and tell your mother that we will make dumplings?”

-Dumplings

Liu An said impatiently, “The meat is for the New Year! If you’re not afraid of being scolded by our mother, then you can go and tell her yourself!”

Mrs. He lay down angrily and muttered, “How can I say that to her?”

To be honest, Liu An himself also wanted to eat meat. But recently their family decided to split up and live separately, so his parents were in a bad mood. He didn’t dare to request this.

Mrs. He laughed again and said, “Let Niudan go to request for it? Mother loves Niudan, so she will definitely agree!”

Niudan, who was lying between the two of them, had long since fallen asleep. He was unaware that his parents were scheming on him.

Liu An was slightly interested, hesitated for a moment, and then refused: “Forget it, if mother cooks for Niudan, it will be just a few pieces. Even Niudan himself won’t eat enough.”

This was also true.

It was not that the Old Mrs. Wu didn’t love her own son and only loved her grandson, but their family has limited resources at home.

“Sigh.” Liu An suddenly thought of Mrs. Wu, “Isn’t our sister-in-law often working to care for Su’s family children? You can ask her to ask Su Pangya for some meat.”

Mrs. He asked, “Will Su Pangya give it?”

Su Pangya, this little bully, had always been the only one who blackmailed people. To let her give out things, it was even harder than reaching the sky*.

*Even harder than reaching the sky (idiom) : extremely difficult / far from an easy task.

Although Old Li Tou testified that she helped Old Li Tou snatch back the New Year goods of the villagers, who would know what really happened at that time?

Liu An saw that the Su family had benefited Old Li Tou, so perhaps, Old Li Tou was bribed by the Su family!

Therefore, after hearing Mrs. He’s answer, Liu An felt unsure.

He said irritably, “Wasn’t it your fault? That day when Su Pangya was accused of murder, why don’t you say a few good words to defend her? Old Li Tou said so! Then Su Pangya took a lot of things to Old Li Tou’s house! I saw it all!”

Mrs. He snorted, “You were also there that night! Why didn’t you say anything!?”

Liu An choked, he couldn’t refute Mrs. He’s words. As he was about to yell and vent his anger, in the main room, his mother opened her voice first.

“In the middle of the night, what’s all this noise about? People can’t sleep! Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat! Just eat and quickly be reincarnated!”

Didn’t know whether she was cursing Liu An and Mrs. He, or she was cursing Su Pangya’s whole family next door.

In the kitchen, the whole family was so busy that they didn’t hear any shouting at all.

Even if they heard it, they wouldn’t take it to heart. They would only think that Old Mrs. Wu herself was insane.

The peanut butter that was ground by the millstone had high moisture content, it was smooth and delicate; the peanut butter made by the stone mortar and pestle was more like peanut puree, which was thick and dense.

-Peanut butter

-Millstone

-Mortar and pestle

-Peanut puree

They both tasted good, but the three little ones preferred the grounded one, which was smoother and easier to eat than the pounded one.

Su Xiaoxiao preferred the pounded one.

The millstone ground the peanuts, which emanate its smell. And pounding peanuts was just like ramming earth, tamping and pressing them over and over again, causing the oil and aroma of peanuts to be pressed into every molecule of the food ingredients.

Just with one bite, the textures and aromas from peanuts exploded in your mouth.

This was a truly natural peanut butter that was sugar-free, salt-free, thickener-free and hydrogenated vegetable oil-free. Ah, it’s too delicious!

Su Xiaoxiao licked her lips, she pointed to the mortar that was held in Wei Ting’s hand, and said, “We ground enough peanuts with the millstone. You can pound the rest with this mortar.”

Wei Ting looked at the remaining half sack of peanuts and frowned, “You just want me to keep pounding peanuts for you all the time, right!?”

Peanut butter was really so delicious ah!
