The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

ed potato strands in for sauteing.
She added in some vinegar a minute or two later.

As the sun began to set, the workers began to come home.

As soon as they walked inside of their compound, they were instantly attacked by the wanton aroma.
They stirred immediately.

“Where did this aroma come from?”

“It smells so good.
What is it?”

“It smells like meat.
Then there’s something that’s sour and spicy!”

Everybody looked over at the Tong family’s direction reflexively.
They all shrieked in their mind when they saw Tong Xuelu.

Everyone’s tears started coming out of the corners of their mouths––

How are they going to live like this?

Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were the last to return.
Each of them carrying a bundle of firewood in their hands.

When he saw the smoke from the cooking from his house, Tong Jiaxin’s eyes widened.
“Oh yay! Finally, we will have dinner tonight!”

Tong Jiaming looked up and glanced over at him.
“Finally? What had you been eating this whole time then?”

Tong Jiaxin was salivating wildly.
Chuckling a couple of times awkwardly, he said, “Second Brother, I am not complaining that your food tasted like pig feed at all!”

Tong Jiaming, “……”

Really? What did he call equating his cooking to pig feed then?

Tong Mianmian pitter pattered out of the house when she heard noises.

Tong Jiaxin quickly tossed down the firewood and stretched out his arms.
“Little Sister, how your third brother had missed you!”

Tong Mianmian ran straight passed him as though she didn’t even see him, “Second Brother!”

Tong Jiaxin, “……”

The situation was a bit on the embarrassing side.

Tong Xuelu’s lips curved upward some when she witnessed that.

The braised pork was almost ready and, when the lid to the clay pot was removed, the aroma filled the courtyard.

Tong Jiaxin sniffled and instantly forgot about the awkwardness.
He appeared next to the stove the very next minute and refused to look away from the braised pork.

The pork belly and potato had been softened from the stewing.
The fatty part of the meat was translucent and the pig skin glistened with grease.
The meat, coated with browned sugar, were a delectable color and very juicy.

It smelled amazing!
