Chapter 019: Mandarin Duck Pot Clear Soup

The chicken broth was already served in a small bowl, and there was white porridge, a plate of pork patties, and a bowl of soy sauce next to the sliced chicken.

Lin Xia went into the kitchen and looked around, there was still half a chicken in the crockpot that had not been cut, so he took it out and cut the chicken, and then cut the mushrooms, green peppers, red peppers and potatoes and fried them in the pot to make a yellow stewed chicken and brought it out.

When she came out, she saw that Lei Biao's face was not very good-looking, and Lin Xia didn't pay attention, she was about to starve to death, so she directly took the bowl and started eating.

She had several chopsticks in her pocket, but Lei Biao never moved, and Lin Xia realized something.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xia asked.

"If you're not in good health, don't go into the kitchen, don't take an example." Lei Biao coldly threw down the words and lowered his head and started eating.

When Lin Xia heard the phrase 'not in good health', the scene of last night's lively and shallow appearance immediately came to mind, and he couldn't help blushing, nodded slightly, and began to eat as soon as Enlai spoke.

Last night's exercise was too much, and the physical exertion was huge, although this meal was simple, Lin Xia also ate deliciously. After all, my heart is sweet, and even the bland white porridge tastes sweet honey.

After treating his stomach, Lei Biao mentioned the custom, after moving to a new house, he should set up a fortune banquet and invite relatives and friends to come to the house for dinner, indicating that the popularity is prosperous and the people are vigorous. But there are only so many people in the village, and they usually don't look down and don't see each other, so they plan to invite them all, so as not to snub others.

The two discussed it and decided to put the Hongyun Banquet two days later, but the weather was getting colder, so Lin Xia gave up the practice of ordinary meals and planned to put on a lively hot pot for them to try the taste.

Lei Biao didn't understand what hot pot was, but he didn't say anything, and as his little lady went, he faintly had a trace of expectation for hot pot in his heart.

Lin Xia also considered that the spicy hot pot may not be accepted by everyone, and planned to make the whole mandarin duck hot pot, so that the spicy and clear ones can be eaten. Hurriedly made a list and asked Lei Biao to go to the county to buy these materials and come back.

Lei Biao went to the county, and Lin Xia went door to door to say hello and invited people to come to the house to eat a fortune banquet. did not go to Old Man Lin's house first, but walked from the head of the village to the end of the village and greeted them in order.

When he walked to the door of Old Man Lin's house, Lin Xia was the first to hear Du's scolding voice and the sound of the child crying.

"What kind of eggs do you eat as a money-loser, I'll sell you directly when you're older!"

Lin Xia rolled his eyes directly at the sky, remembering that Du Shi had such an attitude at the dinner table before, he was really patriarchal as always.

"Wow wow...... Why, Brother Dabao and Brother Xiaobao can eat! Lin Xinxin howled unevenly, usually she watched Du Shi desperately give the two brothers Xiaobao desperately meat and eggs, and she would be beaten and scolded if she ate a little bit. No, just secretly stole an egg that Du Shi was going to give to the two brothers from the stove, broke one and ate a bite of the egg white, and was caught by Du Shi according to the taste.

Lin Xia shook his head and hurriedly pushed the door in, only to find that it was not only Du and Lin Xinxin who were present, but also Lin Xinxin's mother, Zhao.

When Du Shi saw Lin Xia coming in, he asked with a dark face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhao was also very surprised when he saw Lin Xia, and hurriedly stepped over and took Lin Xinxin in his arms, and greeted with a smile on his face: "Isn't this a little sister, why are you so free to come to the house?" Suddenly changed his head, "Didn't you quarrel with your brother-in-law?" ”

Du Shi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lin Xia's eyes with a little disgust. She doesn't want Lin Xia to quarrel with Lei Biao and live in her mother's house, and it costs a lot of money to eat and drink, just like the so-called water spilled by the married daughter.

Lin Xia snorted coldly in his heart, thinking that the Zhao family was also patriarchal, and he was indifferent to watching Du Shi beat and scold his daughter, and slapped Lin Xinxin at the dinner table because of eggs last time. sighed secretly, what kind of person is she in the stall!

But his face still said quietly: "Don't you move to a new house, you want to invite the big guy to come to the house for a meal, the day after tomorrow." Automatically ignored Zhao's later additions.

Du Shi's face softened at this time, "I know, we will go over earlier." ”

Zhao interjected with a grin, "What is the little sister going to do?" ”

Lin Xia looked at the Zhao family's fake smiling face and glowing eyes, and couldn't help but sigh that this Zhao family was simply a copy of the Du family. "I know this, and everyone will open up to eat when the time comes! Just eat lively! ”

Lin Xia didn't want to continue to talk nonsense with these two women, and glanced at Lin Xinxin, who was still sobbing, and could only sigh secretly, there was nothing she could help. "Mother, third sister-in-law, you are busy, I have to go to the next one."

Du Shi noticed that Lin Xia's eyes stayed on Lin Xinxin for a few seconds, and he didn't say anything, and waved his hand to signal that Lin Xia could go.

In the evening, Lei Biao came back from Qinghou County, and Lin Xia hurriedly mashed and crushed the ingredients of the hot pot clear soup into powder, and set aside a part of it, planning to use it again in the future.

also bought some snacks to entertain guests, and Lei Biao didn't buy much exquisite, nothing more than fried melon seeds, fried peanuts and osmanthus cakes.

Early the next morning, Lin Xia specially invited Aunt Zhang and Aunt Guo who had been invited last time again, and went to other people's fields to buy a lot of vegetables, as well as some fish, pork, and chicken. Dragging a whole cart of ingredients back home, I began to toss.

Aunt Guo and Aunt Zhang were naturally very happy, but when they heard that Lin Xiaguang was going to wash and chop vegetables, the fish was going to be chopped and scraped with a spoon, and the pork was all chopped into meat puree, they didn't understand what Lin Xia was going to cook at all, but they still tried their best to get it all right.

Lin Xia put the chopped pork puree on the green onion and ginger juice, pepper water, starch and a little sugar, then kneaded into meatballs, put them into boiling hot water until they were formed, and then put them in cold water to cool, so that the pork meatballs were done. Fish meatballs are also this operation, Aunt Guo and Aunt Zhang looked confused, this is the first time they know that the meatballs are like this.

There are very few people who eat meatballs here, because no one wants to toss meat so much and come up with so many tricks.

began to prepare the clear soup of the mandarin duck hot pot, and Lin Xia did not avoid Aunt Guo and Aunt Zhang. Pick out a large pot of pure water directly from the water tank, put the hen and pig bones into the water and boil for three hours, and then put the fried crucian carp in the soup and continue to boil for more than ten minutes until the soup turns white in the color of milk.

Lin Xia directly took the soup, put ginger slices, green onions, a little salt, and ground pepper, so that the mandarin duck pot soup was done.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Guo still didn't understand, Lin Xia tossed for so long and actually cooked a soup, and asked, "Then I don't want the chicken, bones and fish, I want a soup?" "They can't afford to make a soup so extravagantly and wastefully!
