Capítulo 32: Cat-and-mouse Game

At the Villa

Li An'an washed the vegetables that she had bought. Today, she was going to make her signature dish, Dongpo pork. She also bought some wild mushrooms to cook a stir-fry with meat. These wild mushrooms were delicious, and she was sure Chu Yichen had never tried them before. She hoped that she would pass his test.

She busied herself in the kitchen. First, she rinsed the pork and cut it into small pieces. Then, she mixed a honey wine marinade for it. She placed white sugar in a hot pot to make the braising liquid. Then, she stir-fried the top-quality pork belly, and added in star anise, cinnamon and other spices. The pork was cooked to golden brown and then braised. Soon, the entire kitchen was filled with a rich fragrance.

Many of the servants in the living room were secretly salivating. It smelled too good. They didn't expect Li An'an's cooking to be so excellent!
