Chapter 12 The Story of the Spicy Pot

She just wanted to rub off on the benefits of the hidden mission, but instead of getting the benefits, she put herself in it.

She doesn't agree with this person, and she is born to be impulsive.

【Team】Shirazen: What the hell is this! Why didn't you say earlier what the quest reward was? Don't say you don't know, the mission description says it!

Night Song: I'm helpless too. It's useless for me to say it, as long as you kiss me this task, you will bind the two of us, the task can't be given up, and we can't go anywhere until this task is completed.

Someone's words are very helpless, but in fact, their hearts are crooked.

【Team】Bai Zhan: I can delete the number and replay, I don't want to play a game that inexplicably has one more husband!

Night Song: Lady, I have a lot of advantages. I can't say invincible in operation, but if I rank second, you dare to be first; I'm single-minded, I never hook up, and I don't talk to other women except you; I am handsome, known as Huo Jianhua.

This person is really skinless and faceless, who is his wife!

【Team】Bai Dye: Shut up, don't call a lady!

【Team】Night Song: Okay. Daughter-in-law, you think that there are a lot of rewards for husband and wife tasks, and there are attribute bonuses for husband and wife teaming up, plus husband and wife skills, and it is more advantageous to fight? You treat me as your teammate, and I promise to be the best partner and not hold my daughter-in-law back!

In order to encourage players to socialize in the game, Jianghu has set up four intimate systems: husband and wife, confidant, Jinlan, and master and apprentice. Husband and wife are naturally monogamous, in order to encourage the children of the rivers and lakes to start a family, the skills and attributes of the husband and wife given by the rivers and lakes are considerable, and whether it is PVE or PVP, as long as the two team up, the bonus is effective. Confidants can have 3 per person, male or female, only some intimate facial expressions, basically no attribute bonus, more suitable for same-sex or ambiguous objects. Jin Lan is the righteousness, men and women are not limited, and there will be attribute bonuses when 5 people form a team after the union, which is generally used by a fixed team. The master and apprentice can pass on the skills, and the apprentice has the experience of the master and the master has the grace of the master, and the master can exchange some special items in the master and apprentice shop.

Jiang Qinjiu understood that he was reasonable, but it was difficult to accept it in his heart for a while.

【Team】Bai Dye: Then you are not allowed to call your daughter-in-law, and neither can your mother-in-law.

Night Song: So, wife?

【Team】White Dye: Let me see it again, and delete the number.

Ye Xun was stunned.

[Team] Night Song: Okay, Xiaobaibai, it's time to maintain, you add me to WeChat.

What happened in the game, Yun Xi didn't know at all, she was already at Qin Yu's house, and she was wearing an apron and preparing to make a spicy incense pot.

Last time, the sauerkraut fish was slightly spicy, Qin Yu seemed to be more satisfied, and this time the spicy fragrant pot was also slightly spicy.

The seasoning of the spicy fragrant pot is very important, as a senior food lover, Yunxi naturally wants to use it herself, which is safe and secure, and the taste is mild.

Chili oil, red oil, hot pot base, broth, these compound condiments that are needed every day, she is prepared all year round, and she will replenish them in time before they run out.

Shrimp to shrimp line, beef balls thawed, broccoli split into small flowers, lettuce peeled and sliced, vegetarian chicken sliced, potato peeled and sliced, lotus root sliced, small fungus soaked, meat, shrimp, vegetables and tofu, balanced nutrition, red, green, black and white, bright colors.

Cook the ingredients in batches in advance, first cook the beef balls, because they are the most difficult to cook, then boil the potatoes and lotus root, then lettuce and broccoli, vegetarian chicken and fungus can be blanched and fished, and the shrimp are finally boiled, and a little cooking wine is added to remove the smell when cooking.

Heat the oil in the wok first, pour off the hot oil and then add cold oil, so that the pan can be non-stick and less fumes.

Put in the homemade hot pot base and stir-fry, and the seasoning base is ready. Add the chopped ginger and garlic directly, pour in all the cooked ingredients, add an appropriate amount of salt, turn the pot over high heat, evenly color and taste, add coriander and shallots and white sesame seeds, and stir-fry well again, so that the convenient and delicious spicy fragrant pot will be out of the pot.

This time, she divided two small dry pots and packed them, one for lunch and one for the evening.

After doing this, she left, and called Qin Yu to eat before leaving.

Qin Yu went straight to the refrigerator and tore down the two sticky notes that were full of writing.

Words are like people, and her words can give people a warm feeling, mellow and gentle, without a trace of sharpness.

Originating from the Tujia family, the spicy fragrant pot was originally the signature dish of a restaurant, and the stir-fried base is the foundation of their store, and it is also an unpassed secret that only generations of family members will know.

Good things are never lacking in people coveting, and this secret recipe has been remembered by many peers for many years. Over the years, they have come up with endless routines to steal formulas, some pretending to be apprentices to work, some marrying distant nieces as concubines, and some stealing at night, but they have not succeeded.

Everyone hates itchy, but unfortunately there is no way.

Until the Qing Dynasty, this time the shopkeeper had no children under his knees and only one daughter. Everyone saw hope, how many people want to marry that girl, not for anything else, but for that secret recipe.

The girl didn't believe anyone, she herself inherited the ancestral restaurant, regardless of the world's gossip.

At that time, there was a young steward in the restaurant, who was an orphan who was picked up by the old shopkeeper since he was a child, he has always loved this girl, but he was just an orphan with nothing, he didn't dare to confess, just silently helped the girl run the restaurant, silently guarding her. Looking at her like this, he was satisfied.

In a blink of an eye, 30 years have passed, the girl has become an aunt, and the young man has become an uncle. In the past 30 years, the uncle has long mastered the base recipe of the spicy fragrant pot, and even he has made many improvements, such as adjusting the amount of star anise and grass fruit to make the taste better and milder, changing the variety of chili peppers, and making the color of the red oil more vivid.

Many shopkeepers offered him a high salary, but he was unmoved; There are also people who want to buy formulas from him at a high price, and he refuses without hesitation.

He was also asked, "Why don't you take a wife?" ”

He just smiled and didn't answer.

She also knows his intentions, but he doesn't say it, she is a girl, so it's not good to speak first, in case it's just a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be shameless.

She didn't wait for his confession, she suddenly fell seriously ill and died shortly after.

On her deathbed, she left the restaurant to him.

He turned white overnight.

He sold the restaurant, kept some of his own plates, and bought the rest of the food to help the poor families.

He stayed overnight at the farmhouse all the way, and in return, he taught them how to make spicy fragrant pots, what she liked, he hoped everyone would like it.

When I walked to the southeast, the villagers there didn't like to eat spicy things, felt that the taste was too strong, and said that the spicy fragrant pot was not delicious.

The spicy fragrant pot is the pride of their life, how can it make people so despicable, so he reduced the chili pepper, did not put the pepper, less oil and less salt, and adjusted the taste to light, but those people still don't like to eat, more and more people say that the spicy fragrant pot is not delicious.

He was very hurt, so he wanted to find people who liked to eat before to come out and correct the name of the spicy fragrant pot, but after those people ate the spicy fragrant pot they made now, they said that it was really not delicious.

He was confused and sad, and planned to end his journey and return to his hometown to guard her grave.

On the day of departure, a gray-haired old man came, and the uncle wanted to eat another bowl of authentic spicy fragrant pot, the kind he had eaten in Tujia, not now.

He relied on his memories to restore the recipe at that time as much as possible, and the uncle burst into tears after eating, saying that this is the taste!

The uncle said: "Change it for those who don't like it, it's no longer a spicy fragrant pot, and those who like it don't like it either." ”

All of us are like this spicy pot, we don't need to be recognized by others, and we don't have to care about other people's eyes, people who like to eat will like it more and more, and those who don't like to eat will not like to eat no matter how they do, but they will lose their original taste because they have improved too much, so that those who like to eat don't like to eat either.

Brother Qin Yu, maybe the dark clouds will temporarily obscure the sun, but the sun has never disappeared, as long as the wind blows away the dark clouds, its light will still be sprinkled in all directions, lighting up the heart. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. There are some things and some people, and we don't have much time left. Eat this bowl of spicy fragrant pot full of love, and stand up and blow at the dark clouds after eating!

Qin Yu slowly walked to the window and opened the curtains.

A gust of wind passed, and gray-black clouds scattered across the sky, getting thinner and thinner, as if they were combed hair.

He looked up at the dark blue sky, the transparent blue sky, like a silk handkerchief, and the fine and white clouds that stayed on it were like flowers embroidered on a scarf. The sun hung high in the middle of the sky, and the dazzling light pierced his eyes. The blue was originally a light blue, like clear water, but now the blue gradually increases, more and more blue, more and more intense, as if the sea water is deepening layer by layer.

As if bewitched, he went up to the second floor and went out onto the balcony.

How long has it been since he's been in the sun? Three years? Or five years?

Is this how the sun feels on your face? It's warmer, warmer than a pillow, warmer than an air conditioner...

There was a wind, blowing his hair, and the hair brushed his ears and touched his face, tickling, as if she was talking to him.

He thought, it's time to cut his hair.

The veil by the window swayed slightly, and the spicy incense pot on the table was unaware of the bottom.

Putting down the chopsticks, he walked to the window and called his mother: "Mom, thank you for not giving up on me." ”

Mother Qin was unbelievably surprised when she received his call, but after hearing this, tears flowed all over her face unconsciously.

"You are your mother's son, how could your mother give up on you."

"I'll try, not so fast."

"As long as you want to open it, mom can wait for as long as you want!"

Yunxi made herself a sandwich after taking a bath, an egg and bacon sandwich, and a salad dressing made with yogurt, which is low-fat and healthy.

was about to play the game when he received a message from Qin Yu.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to send her a message, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Tomorrow, can you cut my hair?

He hasn't been out of the house, and his hair should really be cut.

Of course, I'll be there early tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow I can finally see what he looks like. Yun Xi still had a little expectation in her heart.
