Chapter 184: The Chili Pepper Is Ripe (Part II)

Hearing that Zhou Zhong made amends for his crimes, Bang'er couldn't help but light up his eyes, when the family had just fallen, Zhou Chong often cooked some dishes, and Bang'er also liked to eat very much, but unfortunately his mother felt that men were not very good at cooking, so then Zhou Chong never had the opportunity to cook, and Bang'er never ate Zhou Chong's dishes again, sometimes she missed that time very much, and now she heard that her brother wanted to cook again, which made Bang'er also look forward to it.

However, at this time, when Bai Mengwan next to her heard Zhou Yu cooking with chili peppers, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said to Bang'er: "Bang'er, don't believe your brother's words, didn't we secretly taste chili peppers last time, and we can't eat them at all!" ”

Although Bai Mengwan's voice was low, Zhou Chong still heard it, and at that moment, he deliberately said with a straight face: "Didn't I say before that chili peppers are very precious, and no one is allowed to move without my permission, how dare you eat them secretly?" ”

Bai Mengwan was also startled when she saw Zhou Chong angry, lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound, but Bang'er was very familiar with Zhou Chong, and at a glance, she knew that Brother Lu Dao was not really angry, so she smiled and said: "Brother is so stingy, these peppers were raised by me and Sister Mengwan, naturally I want to know their taste, and today brother, you must make more when you cook, I want to invite Sister Mengwan's family to taste it!" ”

Hearing that Bang Er was going to invite herself to taste Zhou Chong's cooking skills, Bai Mengwan couldn't help but raise her head and wanted to refuse, but when she saw Zhou Chong's smiling expression, she immediately understood that the other party was pretending to be angry just now, which made her feel relieved, and she didn't say anything more at the moment, in fact, she was also very looking forward to Zhou Chong's cooking skills. After all, she didn't hear the bracelet praise Zhou Chong's cooking skills before.

Then Zhou Zhong looked at the harvest of these peppers again. In fact, there are not many peppers planted in the first place. In addition, they have no experience in the bracelets, so the peppers they have received in the past few days are only a sack. However, after these peppers were harvested, Bang'er and Bai Mengwan immediately strung them with threads and hung them in the sun to dry, and the first batch of peppers was almost all dried into dried peppers.

Seeing the enticing strings of red peppers hanging on the wall, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel his saliva really watering, and he asked Bang'er for some fresh red peppers that had just been harvested, and some dried peppers that had been almost sun-dried. Then I rushed to the big kitchen to prepare for cooking.

However, as soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhou Zhong regretted it, because the weather was too hot, and cooking at this time was really not a good choice, but since he had promised the bracelet, it was not easy to break his promise at this time, so he had to endure the heat and pack up a few ingredients, and then take these ingredients back to the yard where he lived, there is also a separate kitchen, Zhou Zhong asked the little girl thrush to put a few ice basins in the kitchen to lower the temperature a little. That's when the cooking began.

Later generations of Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine are famous for their spicy cuisine, but Sichuan cuisine is not only for chili peppers. It is also accompanied by a large number of peppercorns, so the main taste is spicy, and Hunan cuisine is simply spicy, it can be said that each has its own strengths, Zhou Zhong also likes to eat, and is also very familiar with several of its representative dishes, such as boiled fish and spicy tofu and the like, these are not difficult for him at all, and he is ready to go to the pot at any time. Of course, Zhou Zhong also deliberately reduced the amount of chili peppers, after all, it was the first time they ate Bang'er, and they would definitely not be used to it if it was too spicy.

In addition, Zhou Chong considered that there were more people, and he was afraid that a few dishes made by himself would not be enough to eat, so after the last time, he took out a peerless weapon for dinner, that is, hot pot, and now that the chili peppers are available, if you don't eat a spicy hot pot, you are really sorry for your tongue.

If you want to do it, there was already a hot pot in the Ming Dynasty, and he had already eaten it with Bang'er before, so the utensils were ready-made, as long as the various ingredients of the hot pot were prepared, the soup base was also made into two, the same spicy and not spicy, after all, other dishes were put with chili peppers, in case someone was not used to eating chili peppers, you can also eat hot pot.

However, Zhou Chong's cooking is hidden from Aunt Wang, and Zhou Chong didn't want to invite Aunt Wang to taste, first, she is most opposed to going to the kitchen by herself, if she knows that Zhou Chong cooks in person, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a nagging, and secondly, Aunt Wang's taste is light, and she usually doesn't even eat peppercorns, let alone chili peppers.

Just when Zhou Chong was preparing the dishes, Wang Jinxuan, who was preparing to make winter clothes for her father in the room, also heard about it, and when she walked into the kitchen and saw the various ingredients on the table that had been cut, she was also very surprised and said: "Xianggong, these are all made by you?" ”

"Yes, the peppers are ripe today, and I promised Bang'er to make a dish made of chili peppers, so I'll come back and prepare it first, and when Bang'er and them come, I can cook the dishes immediately!" Zhou Zhong said with a smile.

Although Wang Jinxuan also disapproved of Zhou Chong's cooking, she seemed very happy to see Xianggong, and she also participated in the planting of chili peppers, and now she was also very happy to hear that the chili peppers were ripe, so she didn't care about Zhou Chong's cooking and losing her identity, but she also came over and looked at the dishes prepared on the table with interest, and also asked Zhou Chong to learn the use of chili peppers.

But before Wang Jinxuan could ask a few words, Bang'er and they entered the courtyard from outside, and Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan immediately came out to greet them, but this time in addition to Bang'er and Bai Mengwan, even Bai Junwan also came together, it is estimated that there is nothing to do in the Chamber of Commerce, so she has time to come out.

Seeing Bang'er, Zhou Zhong hurriedly asked, "Bang'er, my aunt doesn't know about you coming to me for dinner, right?" ”

"Brother, don't worry, Duo'er and I have already eaten with our mother, but both of us said that we had a bad appetite, so we only ate a little, and waited for the pepper you made with our stomachs." The bracelet is very proud.

Zhou Zhong finally relieved himself when he heard this, and immediately asked Wang Jinxuan to invite the bracelet and other daughters into the hall to rest, while he went into the kitchen to get busy, because all the dishes had been prepared in advance, so it was easy to make, and after a while, the same dishes had been sent to the table in the living room.

After all the dishes were served today, Zhou Chong washed his face and came to the living room, there were several ice basins around the living room, which made the temperature inside very cool, so that he didn't have to worry about being too hot when eating spicy, but at this time Zhou Chong found that they did not sit at the table, but sat on the side and chatted, seemingly wanting to wait for him to taste together.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Zhong immediately beckoned everyone to take a seat, and then said: "The reason why the chili pepper can ripen depends on the care of Bang'er, Jinxuan and Miss Mengwan, in order to express my gratitude, so I deliberately made a few dishes with chili......

"Oh, brother, stop boasting, our stomachs are already hungry, it's better to eat quickly!" Before Zhou Chong's words could be finished, he was interrupted by the bracelet, and then he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of boiled fish, blew it and put it in his mouth.

Although Zhou Zhong has deliberately reduced the amount of chili peppers, but boiled fish is a spicy dish after all, it can be said that among these dishes, it is the spicy, but the bracelet is miserable now, just put the fish in his mouth and immediately spit it out, and then stretched out his pink little tongue and kept panting, while gasping back and said: "Water!" Give me water! It's spicy! ”

Seeing the tragic situation of the bracelet, Jinxuan and the other women who were about to put down the chopsticks were also startled, Zhou Zhong had already prepared, and hurriedly handed a glass of ice water on the table to the bracelet, but she drank a few big sips in a row, and then she felt much better, but her mouth still felt hot.

"Brother! You lie, this pepper is so spicy, how can it be eaten? Bang'er said with tears in the corners of her eyes, half of it was spicy, half of it was wronged, after all, they put so much effort into growing chili peppers, but they couldn't eat it at all, which made her naturally very sad.

"Ha Lu Ha~, I already told you just now, you may feel uncomfortable when you first eat chili, but you will find its benefits when you taste it slowly, and the boiled fish you eat is the spiciest dish, of course you can't stand it, you can taste a few other ones that are not too spicy to try!" Zhou Zhong saw the embarrassed appearance of the bracelet, and couldn't help but say with a smile.

At this time, Zhou Chong's voice just fell, and I saw Bai Mengwan next to the bracelet stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a shrimp ball fried with chili peppers, and then put it in her mouth and tasted it, although she also felt hot in her mouth, it made people have a feeling of appetite, and the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat, which made Bai Mengwan very surprised: "Zhou Gongzi really didn't lie, although the taste of this chili pepper is very spicy, but it does make people appetizing, Bang'er, try other dishes!" ”

Hearing Bai Mengwan say this, Wang Jinxuan and Bai Junwan also stretched out their chopsticks to taste it, and found that it was indeed like Bai Mengwan said, the spicy stimulation made people have a great appetite in this hot summer, and they couldn't help but taste a few other dishes at the moment, although they were also spicy and sweaty, but there was a transparent feeling, which was really wonderful.

Bang'er saw that her sister-in-law and the Bai sisters were so happy to eat, and her brother Zhou Zhong even picked up the boiled fish and ate it non-stop, if I remember correctly, my brother doesn't seem to like eating fish, is the fish with chili really so delicious?

Thinking of this, Bang'er no longer hesitated, plucked up the courage to taste other dishes, and after slowly getting used to the spicy taste, she soon discovered the benefits of this stimulating taste to herself, and she was no longer afraid of chili peppers, and even began to attack the plate of boiled fish that made her ugly.

Although there was an ice basin in the living room, Zhou Chong and they were still sweating all over their stomachs, but even so, they still refused to stop, and ate all the dishes made by Zhou Chong one by one, and then started to make hot pot again, but at this time everyone liked the spicy taste, so they used the red pot when shabu, and the white pot that was not spicy was not touched at all.
