Chapter 272: Peculiar Taste

After Lin Zhou's unremitting efforts, he became more and more handy for the position of housekeeper.

In this way, Xia Huai lost a scholar, but Xia Yan had an additional capable housekeeper.

Since discovering that even without herself, the family members can do their own things well, Xia Yan has completely become the shopkeeper, if it is not a big deal, there is no need to report to her at all, the decision is completely in their hands, and she will not interfere without special circumstances.

Therefore, things like eating are completely decided by Sister-in-law He, and even Xia Yan can't change it.

On weekdays, if she wants to eat something special, she has to explain it to Sister-in-law He, and sometimes she has to say some good things. Whenever this happens, Xia Yan has a feeling of self-inflicted consequences.

Because she likes spicy food, every time she comes home, she wants Sister-in-law He to cook some spicy dishes, but no one in the whole family can stand the taste of chili peppers except her, so even if Sister-in-law He agrees, she will only make a plate for Xia Yan to satisfy her hunger.

As for the hot pot, even if you eat it, it is a clear soup.

In order to have a good time, Xia Yan deliberately found someone to create two mouthfuls of mandarin duck pots, but he could only eat them occasionally.

Sister-in-law He can cook too many dishes, she comes in different ways every day, and the hot pot can't be turned a few times a month, not to mention that Xia Yan is often not at home, even if they eat hot pot, she doesn't know. In addition, the time to eat hot pot is too short, from late spring to early autumn, you can't see the shadow of hot pot for half of the year. If it weren't for the fact that the weather hadn't gotten hot today, Sister-in-law He wouldn't have brought the mandarin duck pot.

Therefore, Xia Yan has a deep resentment about not being able to eat hot pot.

The hot pot that the Xia family is very familiar with is very novel in Huo Leiting's eyes, she has never seen such a strange pot.

A pot was divided into two halves by a piece of bent iron, and there were red and white soup bases on both sides, which made Huo Leiting very curious.

The white one is easy to guess, the milky white color, at a glance, you know that it is a bone broth that has been boiled for a long time, but the red side is ...... She really couldn't guess that in her memory, there was no spice that could make the soup red.

What's even stranger is that there is a stove under this pot, and looking at this posture, it seems that it needs to be eaten while cooking.

What the hell was this way of eating, and how had she never heard of it?

Just when she was puzzled, she suddenly smelled the fragrance wafting from the pot, and she couldn't help but have an appetite, and her stomach began to "gurgle" again.

"Aunt Ting, let's eat." Xia Yan heard the voice coming from Huo Leiting's abdomen, and smiled slightly, "This thing is very delicious, and it is guaranteed to make you unforgettable for a lifetime." ”

Xu was curious about the bottom of the red pot, and Xu was really hungry in her stomach, Huo Leiting was no longer entangled, nodded directly, and found a place to sit down.

At this time, Sister-in-law He and Qing'er returned again and brought some meat and vegetables that had been cut and plated and placed on the table.

"Okay, everyone, let's eat." Xia Yan sat at the table, and after Sister-in-law He and Qing'er took their seats, she picked up the chopsticks and said.

"Yan'er, where is our mother?" Seeing that the main seat of the women's table was still empty, but Xia Yan was about to start eating, Xia Huai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Mother, she ......" Xia Yan really didn't know how to explain to him, and he was a little stumbling for a while.

If he told him the truth, he would inevitably worry about it, and maybe he would go straight to Yan's room without even eating, but if he didn't tell him, I was afraid that this meal would be difficult to start.

It's okay to say it on weekdays, but today Huo Leiting is here, so she can be regarded as a guest, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Xia Yan doesn't want others to know that she has an awkward relationship with her mother.

Just when Xia Yan was hesitating how to explain to Xia Huai, she heard Yu'er speak: "Back to the young master, Madame said that she is a little tired, sleep for a while, let us eat first, don't wait for her, she will eat when she wakes up." ”

"Oh." Xia Huai nodded, "Okay then, I'll take a look after I'm done." ”

With Yu'er's relief, Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in the end, she was her biological mother, even if she was angry, she didn't want to make trouble for herself, and when Huo Leiting was settled, she must apologize to her mother.

Seeing that Xia Huai had no doubts, Xia Yan picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and soaked it a few times on the red soup base, and ate it deliciously.

Huo Leiting also followed Xia Yan's example, picked up a piece of meat and soaked it in the red soup base a few times, but before she could eat it, she found that the whole table was looking at her expectantly, like that, as if she was waiting to see some joke.

Huo Leiting was about to give the piece of meat to people's mouths, but looking at the appearance of everyone, she couldn't help but stop and became suspicious.

Isn't this thing poisonous?

At that moment, she had the intention of throwing the meat away.

But seeing Xia Yan eating one after another, there was no sign of poisoning.

She wanted to eat, but she didn't dare, and she was in a dilemma for a while.

"Aunt Ting, don't be afraid." Xia Yan saw Huo Leiting's hesitation, and immediately smiled, "They can't stand the taste of the bottom of this pot, so I think you will be as foreign as when they first ate it." ”

As soon as Xia Yan said this, Huo Leiting didn't dare to eat it, no wonder Xia Yan was the only one at this table who ate the things that came out of the bottom of the red pot, it turned out that she was a person with a peculiar taste.

She just said, normal seasoning, where is the red one? This must have been deliberately naughty by Xia Yan, normal people can't stand this smell at all.

Huo Leiting boasted that her sense of taste was normal, so she didn't plan to try it again, so as not to make any appearances.

"Aunt Ting, don't." Seeing that Huo Leiting was about to put the soaked meat into the bowl, and had no intention of eating it again, Xia Yan hurriedly stopped, "You just take a small bite and taste it first, if it's not delicious, you just throw it away." ”

It's not that Xia Yan is overly enthusiastic, but for so many years, she has only found a hot friend who likes spicy food - David Liang.

When he was there, Xia Yan could still bring him some chili peppers from time to time, and the two of them could get together to cook some spicy food, and from time to time they would invent some recipes that didn't even exist on earth.

Someone to eat with him, Xia Yan can eat two more bowls of rice.

But since he left Bianxi Village, Xia Yan has lost his former happiness when he eats spicy again, and the meal is still accompanied by someone, and he is alone with a plate of chili peppers, which is really lonely.

So, a stranger finally came, and it happened to be hot pot, so she wanted to give it a try, in case she could find another hot friend.

Looking at Xia Yan's expectant eyes, Huo Leiting was embarrassed to refuse, so she could only take a small bite.

Hiss! Hurt!

The moment she entered, Huo Leiting only felt that her tongue was as painful as if it had been burned by fire, and she couldn't help but pick up a large bowl of water next to her and pour it a few times.

Only then did she understand why only a bowl of water was deliberately placed next to her, and her feelings were used to extinguish the "fire".

She couldn't help but confirm her guess, there must be poison in this pot, if it wasn't poison, how could it make her feel like her tongue hurt, and how could she feel like her mouth was swollen?

Huo Leiting never felt that Xia Yan was trying to harm herself, after all, where would anyone who poisoned himself eat so much poison?

She couldn't help but feel strange, what did Xia Yan do with so many poisons?

It's not a peculiar sense of taste, it's just masochism, she doesn't have this masochistic habit.

Anyway, no matter how sweet Xia Yan ate, she couldn't eat this thing anymore.

Huo Leiting just wanted to put down the chopsticks, but her hand uncontrollably pinched another piece of meat, put it in the red soup base, and put it in her mouth a few times.

Hey? Strange, why can't you control your hands?

No! I don't want to eat!

She shouted in her heart that she didn't want to eat, but her hands didn't stop, and the movements of clipping, shabu-shabu, and eating were like flowing water, all in one go, and she didn't look like a person who ate hot pot for the first time.

When she stopped, she was sweating profusely and her face was flushed.

I only heard her take a long breath and said, "It's delicious!" ”

Hearing this admiration, Xia Yan's eyes lit up, after so long, he finally found another person who likes spicy food.

She guessed really well, according to Huo Leiting's hot personality, she will definitely have a certain impression of chili.

"Aunt Ting, if it's delicious, you can eat more." Xia Yan smiled very happily, and even his eyes were about to squint, "It's my family's unique spice here, and I can't find it even if I want to find it outside." ”

"What's in there?" Seeing Xia Yan mention it, Huo Leiting hurriedly asked the question in her heart, "Why is it so brightly red?" Why does it hurt like fire in your mouth when you eat it, but it also makes people feel that their appetite is so great that they can't stop at all?"

"It's called chili." Xia Yan took out a red chili pepper from the space, "That fire-like feeling is spicy ......"

While eating, Xia Yan introduced chili peppers to Huo Leiting, which made several people at the same table dumbfounded.

This is a guest who has never seen it before, and it is truly shocking.

The first time I ate spicy food, there was no discomfort in the slightest, and even the water was never touched after only one sip.

Doesn't her tongue hurt? Isn't it hot in the stomach?

You know, even David Liang was a little stunned when he first came into contact with chili peppers, if it weren't for the anger of Xu Changping, I'm afraid that even he wouldn't be able to eat much, but he only fully accepted the spicy taste after a period of adaptation.

It was a mighty man with a height of eight feet, something that even he had to adapt to, and this girl accepted it so easily, they couldn't help but admire her courage, and even more admired her ability to bear it.

Huo Leiting didn't know what the people around her were thinking, she was holding a chili pepper and looking at it carefully.

She didn't know that such a small and lovely thing had so much energy, and eating it was like swallowing a fire.

Although the taste was unacceptable at first, she felt very much to her appetite after eating too much, and even regretted why she hadn't encountered this seasoning called chili earlier.

Huo Leiting couldn't help but smile, just now she secretly laughed at Xia Yan's peculiar taste, she actually likes to eat things that no one likes to eat, but now she loves that chili pepper no less than Xia Yan.
