Chapter 142: Eating Hot Pot

Ye Xiaoyu was calm, but Lu Qian beside her was still unrelenting, looking at it like that, it was estimated that she was still struggling with whether she could meet Ling Yu, Ye Xiaoyu had been worried that she would run to Ling Yu's house to find him as soon as she arrived in the capital, but fortunately, this worry did not happen. After such a long time, Ling Yu has disappeared for so long, no matter how deep Lu Qian is in it, he should have figured it out a little, Ling Yu is destined to have nothing to do with her. The sooner she figured this out, the sooner she would be able to be freed.

Holding the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, Ye Xiaoyu walked briskly towards the carriage parked in front. In order to prevent Lu Qian from suddenly making any mistakes, it was better for her to take her back to Lujiazhuang as soon as possible.

In the inner account room of Yuling Cloth Workshop, there was a tall young man standing in front of the shopkeeper Liu, who had not seen him for a long time, and the expression on the young man's face was still as warm as spring.

"Young Master Ling, they have already left, and the things you explained to me have been completed."

Shopkeeper Liu hunched over and said to Ling Yu who was standing in front of the table.

"Very good, Lao Liu, you just do what I told you. In the future, no matter what Ye Xiaoyu comes to ask you to help her, you will accept it, and then just tell me. ”

Ling Yu stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Lao Liu, and signaled that he didn't need to be polite.

"Young Master Ling, why don't you come forward to help Miss Ye in person?"

Although he knew that this was not a question he should ask, Lao Liu couldn't help but ask more. The young master has been secretly helping like this, but Ye Xiaoyu doesn't know, what's the point?

"I'll go first, anyway, you just do what I tell you."

Ling Yu smiled. didn't say much, in fact, he didn't know why he didn't come forward in person, and didn't let Ye Xiaoyu know that he had been helping all along, maybe because of Lu Qian, maybe because of the third person who had nothing to do with the shopkeeper Liu, this kind of help, the stubborn Ye Xiaoyu was more acceptable? He really didn't think about why.

Uncle Yang hurried along the way, and returned to Lujiazhuang in less than an hour. As soon as the carriage stopped, Ye Xiaoyu immediately rushed out of the car. Although there was no one on the road. But you don't have to make it like "Initial D", driving a carriage on the dirt road, Ye Xiaoyu was about to vomit.

Although Lu Qian pretended to be calm, she was not much better than Ye Xiaoyu. When entering the yard. It's all about Ying'er to hold on to it.

The fat sheep has been killed. According to Ye Xiaoyu's explanation, Lu Yishou asked the kitchen to cut the mutton into thin slices and get the mutton out of the water separately. Wash well and place on a separate plate. Although the whole person was dizzy, Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about resting, and ran directly to the kitchen.

Ye Xiaoyu originally planned to "set up a banquet" in Nanyuan's own yard, but the yard was too small, and the kitchen was even simpler, although the hot pot was simple, but the hot pot base and soup were also an indispensable procedure, originally I just planned to boil some bone broth as a soup base, but seeing that Lu Yishou killed a sheep, it was a pity that those sheep bones were wasted, so after Ye Xiaoyu came back, he temporarily decided to make a sheep scorpion hot pot, and boiled the sheep backbone into a soup base, which is much more nutritious than pork bones, and there is no need to spend more money to buy bones. Well, Ye Xiaoyu admitted that the cost of going to the capital today did make her feel distressed for a long time.

But there was Mother Liu in the kitchen, and Ye Xiaoyu couldn't play normally, so she made an excuse and asked Lu Qian to ask Mother Liu to go home first, since the relationship between herself and Lu Qian eased, life in Lujiazhuang was indeed much better. After sending Liu's mother away, Ye Xiaoyu only left Hong'er alone to help herself, Hong'er's cooking skills are good, and her hands and feet are flexible, it is enough to have her help.

The smell of unprocessed mutton is too great for ordinary people to bear, so Ye Xiaoyu washed the lamb backbone that had been cut into sections, asked Hong'er to heat the water in the pot, put the lamb backbone into a pot of boiling water, and then poured some rice vinegar. Boiled to boil, scoop up the lamb backbone with a colander, soak it in the hot water next to it, and pour out the soup in the pot.

Then the soaked lamb backbone flew over with water with ginger slices and rice wine, and added half a pot of water to the original pot, put the sheep scorpion that had been drunk with cooking wine into the pot, and asked Hong'er to increase the fire, beat the floating powder, put ginger slices, green onions, garlic cloves, hawthorn, liquerice, jujube, wolfberry, bay leaves, tangerine peel, big ingredients, cinnamon, angelica and other condiments into it, plus Lu Yishou's self-brewed aged rice wine, and after the pot boiled, no longer add firewood to the stove, so that the fire in the stove becomes smaller, let it slowly boil in the pot, In this way, the flavor of those condiments can seep into the sheep and scorpions.

Let Hong'er look at the fire, Ye Xiaoyu began to clean the vegetables and fungi she bought today, after washing, carefully cut them and put them on the plate, and took out the finale beef, I don't know if there is "water", Ye Xiaoyu felt that this pound of beef was grasped in his hand, as if there was only a small handful. However, regarding the price of beef, after Ye Xiaoyu bought the vegetables, he didn't think it was too expensive, after all, just those few vegetables, it cost hundreds of yuan, which is incredible.

Use a knife to carefully cut the beef into thin slices, in fact, Ye Xiaoyu's knife work is not very good, when the meat was cut so thin in the previous life, the meat was first taken to the refrigerator to freeze for a while before taking it out and cutting, the frozen meat was stiff, and it was very easy to cut. But there was no refrigerator here, and the beef in his hand was soft, Ye Xiaoyu tossed for a long time before he barely cut a plate of beef with different thicknesses. After cutting, add chili paste, pepper, salt, chopped green onions, and Sichuan peppercorns on top of the beef and mix well.

Ye Xiaoyu's movements were not too fast, and after Ye Xiaoyu finished doing this, the sheep and scorpions in the pot over there were almost ready, lift the lid of the pot, and add salt and pepper to taste. asked Hong'er to extinguish the fire in the stove a little more, and Ye Xiaoyu went to Nanyuan to move the table and pot she specially ordered.

When Ye Xiaoyu saw Qinglang on the way to the garden, she felt that God had always helped her. Regardless of whether the sunny face is paralyzed or indifferent, Ye Xiaoyu insisted on asking him to go to Nanyuan with him to move the table, now is not the time to be polite, anyway, he also has a share in the hot pot at night.

After moving the table to the dining hall, Ye Xiaoyu put the charcoal pot that had been prepared on the shelf at the bottom of the table, and then put the iron pot on the table. After doing this, I was about to run to Beiyuan to call Lu Yishou them, and as soon as I went out, I saw Lu Yishou and his wife and Lu Qian walking this way, followed by Lu Meijiao, I guess I didn't worry about preparing in the kitchen alone, and I saw that it was dark, so I came to take a look.

came just in time, saving Ye Xiaoyu the time to run to call them again, and put the sheep scorpion and soup in the pot into the hot pot on the table, because it was a mandarin duck pot, Ye Xiaoyu added a lot of chili peppers and red oil on the side, which looked very attractive. Well, at least in Ye Xiaoyu's heavy taste, it seems to be very tempting.

Because it was the first time to see this kind of eating, including Lu Yishou, everyone was very surprised, and even a little at a loss. After beckoning everyone to sit down, Ye Xiaoyu began to introduce the things on the table in front of him.

"This is the characteristic of our hometown, called hot pot, which means to eat while cooking, like this, the middle is separated by an iron plate, divided into one side spicy and not spicy, also called mandarin duck pot. I've put small bowls and plates in front of everyone, and when everyone puts the mutton and vegetables down like this for a while, they can be fished up and eaten with sauce. But now, we have to get rid of the sheep and scorpions in the pot first. ”

Ye Xiaoyu said while demonstrating how to eat. She tasted the soup of the sheep scorpion just now, and it tasted good, and it was a fight with what she had eaten in her previous life, and it seems that after being reborn, nothing else has grown, and her cooking skills have improved a lot.

"Wow, Xiaoyu, how did you do this? It tastes so good! ……”

Lu Yishou filled a bowl of soup and boasted while eating sheep and scorpions. I have eaten a lot of mutton, and I often make it in the kitchen of Lujiazhuang, but it is still relatively rare to have such a taste and no mutton smell.

Watching everyone eat with relish, Ye Xiaoyu is also a little happy, there is nothing more happy than the fruits of his labor being recognized by everyone, in his previous life, he also did it with great interest, but he was either eating alone, or he was disgusted by the scumbag, and later, after knowing that the scumbag didn't like mutton, Ye Xiaoyu almost didn't make any sheep scorpions, needless to say, even evolved into himself too lazy to eat mutton, in his previous life, for the scumbag Chen Hao was really low to the dust, But in the end......

"Xiaoyu, why haven't you eaten? Eat more, see that although you are tall, you are still so thin. ”

Lu Meijiao gnawed on her bones, saw Ye Xiaoyu sitting there in a daze, and said.

"However, Xiaoyu's cooking skills are so good, if she marries into our family at that time, then Qinglang and I will be blessed......"

Looking at Ye Xiaoyu, Lu Meijiao mentioned this matter again.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyu's face was suddenly full of black lines, this ...... What the hell is this? She and Qinglang haven't spoken a few words in total, and they can't be called acquainted, why does she always want to match herself and Qinglang together, and besides, looking at the paralyzed man, it doesn't seem to mean anything to herself. In front of so many people, and the sunshine is still there, this ...... It's just ...... Ye Xiaoyu was speechless and was about to faint.

"Hey, Meijiao, the children are still young, you are in a hurry when you say this......"

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, Lu Yishou hurriedly stopped him.

"Brother, I'm taking precautions, you see how well these two are compatible......"

Lu Meijiao's eyes swept at Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang's bodies, and Lu Qian next to her was still laughing maliciously, making Ye Xiaoyu particularly speechless.

"The sheep scorpion is almost finished, I'll add soup to everyone......"

It just so happened that the soup in the pot was gone, Ye Xiaoyu took the opportunity to add soup, quickly got off the table and went to the kitchen to add soup.

"Now you can wait for the soup in the pot to boil, and then you can put the mutton in it, because I don't know everyone's taste, I didn't help you adjust the dipping sauce, you can adjust it yourself according to your own taste, and I put it on the shelf together."

Ye Xiaoyu said as she added vegetables to the hot pot, she felt that the mutton was okay, mainly these vegetables, but she had to eat it back after spending a lot of money. I have to say that Ye Xiaoyu is sometimes so "vulgar". (To be continued......)
