The pot was heated up, so Tan Yanli poured oil into it, added some sugar, and waited for the sugar to melt. Then she put the marinated ribs into the hot oil, gently stirring them with a spatula to coat each piece with color.
While she was stirring the ribs, she got lost in thought, and some hot oil splattered onto the back of her hand, causing her to cry out instinctively, "Oh, it hurts!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Lin Runjie was washing vegetables and immediately dropped them upon hearing Tan Yanli's cry, rushing over to her. He found her staring blankly at the back of her hand.
"Did it burn your hand?"
He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled it under the tap to run cold water over it. "If you get burned, you need to run cold water over it immediately to prevent blistering!"
"Oh!"
Tan Yanli pouted, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him, "It really hurts!"
