Chapter 107: Braised Pork Ribs

Su Jingsi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of the fragrant coffee.

At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly broke the silence in the room. The unfamiliar cell phone ring made Su Jingsi immediately know that it was Ouyang Mengmian's phone ringing. Sure enough, the sound of Ouyang Mengmian answering the phone soon rang upstairs.

A few seconds later, Ouyang Mengmian's brisk footsteps were heard on the stairs. Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Su Jingsi couldn't help but curiously want to walk to the stairs to see what was going on.

However, before he could take a step, a crisp doorbell rang outside the door.

"Su Jingsi! Go open the door! The fresh food I ordered has arrived!" Ouyang Mengmian shouted as she hurried downstairs. As she was going downstairs, she looked out and saw Su Jingsi standing not far from the stairs, and hurriedly urged him to open the door.

Hearing the voice, Su Jingsi put down the coffee cup in his hand and walked hurriedly towards the door.

He stretched out his hand and opened the door, and immediately saw a deliveryman standing outside the door with several bags full of fresh ingredients. Su Jingsi hurriedly walked forward, took the bags from the deliveryman, thanked him politely, and then turned around and carried them into the house.

At this time, Ouyang Mengmian had already come downstairs. She saw Su Jingsi and the heavy bags in his hands at a glance.

Ouyang Mengmian quickly walked over and took the bags from Su Jingsi. Then, she took the bags to the kitchen and put them down. Then, she took out the ingredients from the bags one by one and placed them neatly on the kitchen counter.

Seeing several full bags on the ground, Su Jingsi, who was standing nearby, thought about going over to help, but was driven away by Ouyang Mengmian on the grounds that he didn't want to cause trouble.

Su Jingsi looked at Ouyang Mengmian's busy figure and shook his head with amusement. Perhaps Ouyang Mengmian himself did not notice that the two of them seemed to be more familiar and casual with each other now.

But he didn't intend to point this out to Ouyang Mengmian. To be honest, Su Jingsi even enjoyed the current state of being with him and Ouyang Mengmian - neither too close nor too unfamiliar. This was the most normal way of getting along and was most conducive to the enhancement of their feelings.

Su Jingsi did not expect the relationship between him and Ouyang Mengmian to develop rapidly. He firmly believed that things that were achieved too quickly must have hidden fatal drawbacks. In the fast-paced modern life, he believed more in the long-term.

Ouyang Mengmian opened the remaining bags and carefully searched for the ingredients inside. Finally, she found the box of fresh ribs she had ordered. In the same bag, she also found green onions and fresh ginger. Looking at the fresh ingredients, she nodded with satisfaction and took them out of the bag and placed them on the table.

She turned on the faucet and quickly filled a basin with clean water, then put the ribs in the clean water and washed them carefully. Then, Ouyang Mengmian filled the pot with clean water and threw the ribs into the cold water. As time passed, the water in the pot began to heat up slowly, making a constant "sizzling" sound.

While waiting for the water to boil, Ouyang Mengmian was not idle. She cleaned the ginger and shallots, cut the ginger into thin slices, and cut the shallots into neat small pieces.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and a thin layer of blood foam and oil gradually appeared on the water surface. Ouyang Mengmian waited for a moment, and in order to ensure that each piece of ribs could be evenly heated and fully removed from the blood, she picked up the chopsticks and carefully turned the ribs in the hot water over.

When there was no more blood foam seeping out of the pot, Ouyang Mengmian turned off the fire. She carefully took out the ribs with a colander and rinsed them under cold water.

After the ribs were thoroughly rinsed, Ouyang Mengmian cleaned the pot again, filled it with water again, and put the processed ribs back into the pot. Finally, she sprinkled the sliced ​​ginger into the pot, and the "project" of stewing the ribs soup was almost done. When the ribs soup was almost cooked, she added some other vegetables.

After cooking the pork ribs soup, Ouyang Mengmian was not idle. She opened the rice bag, poured the crystal clear rice into the rice washing basin, and then quickly washed the rice. She transferred the washed rice into the rice cooker, added an appropriate amount of water, and then pressed the cooking button.

Looking at the flashing indicator light on the rice cooker, Ouyang Mengmian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and stretched, feeling the relaxation and satisfaction of her body, as if she had accomplished the most difficult thing in the world.

What Su Jingsi didn't know was that Ouyang Mengmian was not good at cooking. The dishes she could make were limited to simple dishes such as stewing meat soup and frying tomato scrambled eggs. Because of Su Jingsi's hand injury, he could only eat relatively light food at this stage, which became the best cover for Ouyang Mengmian's poor cooking skills.
