Chapter 60: The Bottom Pot

"Those thousands of catties need a lot of cash." Song Cheng roughly calculated the account in his heart, according to the current price of silverstone, it would cost one or two thousand taels to say the least. He couldn't help but look at Li Sheng and said, "Brother Li, if this doesn't work, I still have some silver there, although it's not much, but it can also save the emergency." ”

Song Ling is a well-known doctor in Taoyuan Town, and sometimes treats rich and noble families, and at first glance, it is dozens or hundreds of taels of income. Some people paid him for medicine and would come to his door to give gifts, so his own private money, to say the least, was thousands of taels.

Li Sheng didn't expect Song Cheng to take the initiative to lend him money, which surprised him. At the same time, he was also a little moved, Song Li's support for him. Although they have turned from a doctor-patient relationship to a good friend, the person who can help him when he is in trouble is a true best friend.

But what he needed was not a little bit of silver, but a few thousand taels. Even if Song Li borrows it, it is a drop in the bucket. Knowing what Song Cheng meant, Li Sheng couldn't help but hug his fists gratefully at him. "Thank you, Brother Song, for your kindness. I'd better think of a way to say it first, if I sell my house, I can still sell it for a few thousand taels. ”

Seeing that Li Sheng actually had the idea of selling the house, Song Li couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the situation had reached such a bad point? He hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him. "Brother Li, no, don't. You worked so hard to get that house. Besides, if you encounter such a thing now, your father can't die without help. ”

You must know that the Li family is the richest man in Taoyuan Town, and it should be a problem to come up with a few thousand taels of silver.

Li Sheng sighed and drank another large cup of cold tea. "My dad is also in a state of flux. In the past few years, the harvest of the shop has been average, plus my eldest brother's loser. Even if he wanted to help me, he wouldn't be able to come up with such a large sum of money. ”

Song Cheng knew that if Li Sheng didn't have no choice, he wouldn't be in a hurry like this, so he said: "You can't be in a hurry about this matter, let's find a way together to raise silver." ”

When Li Sheng heard this, he put his hand on Song Ling's shoulder, patted it, and said. "Thank you! That's all it can be for now. ”

While the two were talking, there was a strange smell from the kitchen.

Song Cheng knew that Li Sheng was in a bad mood, so he deliberately said, "What kind of smell is this?" It's so fragrant, it looks like we're blessed today. ”

Li Sheng didn't have any appetite at all, he stood up and was about to leave, "You guys eat, I'll go out for a walk first." ”

finally invited someone, how could Song Ling refuse to let him go, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said: "Sister An is already doing it, aren't you curious about what kind of food she will cook." Besides, don't you have a few days left in this matter? It's better to eat enough and find a way. ”

Song Cheng sincerely invited himself, and Li Sheng also agreed before. Thinking about it, if you leave like this, it is indeed a little unfriendly and unfriendly. He sat down and proposed, "Why don't we kill two games first." ”

Li Sheng knew that Song Li loved chess as much as his life, and the two also had a lot of common language because of their common hobby.

When Song Cheng heard this, he was really overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned: "Quickly bring my new ivory chessboard." Then he lifted the hem of his clothes handsomely, sat down at the table and said with a smile: "Let's kill a few games today, see if I don't kill you." ”

At this time, Li Sheng had regained his usual black belly and calm, raised his eyes and looked at Song Cheng and said. "I will accompany you to the end."

Shen Anan didn't know about the crisis encountered by Li Sheng's mine, and she was working hard to prepare to make shabu-shabu hot pot.

Seeing this black fish that was finally caught, how could she let it go again, and in a few clicks, she split the big black fish into five horses.

The meat of the black fish is better to thorn. Shen Anan had already made up his mind, and when he was removing the fish fillet, he carefully removed the fish bones with a sharp knife.

The flesh of the fish with the bones removed is as thin as the wings of a cicada. Just to make this dish of fish fillet, Shen Anan spent more than half of the time. The fish fillets are stacked on top of each other and placed on a plate, like a blooming flower.

Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but watch from the sidelines when she saw that Shen An'an was so stunned.

Seeing that Shen An'an had been making these fish for a long time, after finishing them, he didn't burn them, but put ingredients in the pot, let her wash some vegetables, and set up charcoal in the stove. Therefore, she didn't know what Shen An'an was doing for a long time, so she couldn't help asking, "Sister An'er, what kind of fish is this?" I look at how it is different from what we usually eat. ”

"You'll find out later." When Shen Anan spoke, there was a bit of mystery in his tone.

As she spoke, she put the soup made from the bones and chicken that had been boiled in front of her, as well as the condiments she had prepared in advance, in the pot and stirred gently.

At the moment of steaming, a pungent fragrance blew out, which immediately made people's appetite move.

"How fragrant? Sister An, I will learn from you next time. Zhao Chunhua secretly remembered every step Shen An'an had done.

"Well, what I'm making now is the pot bottom soup of shabu-shabu small hot pot, and when these are cooked, they are brought to the stove and boiled, and you can put shabu-shabu in it, which is simple and convenient to eat."

Zhao Chunhua, who only said it, had her eyes shining, and her greedy saliva flowed. "Really, it's ready to eat, it looks delicious."

"Well, would you like to try it later?"

Zhao Chunhua was not so bold, and when she heard Shen Anan say this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later." ”

Shen Anan smiled and began to make the dipping sauce attentively. She knows that in addition to the quality of the ingredients, the most important thing in making hot pot is the preparation of the dipping sauce.

To her surprise, there were more seasonings here than the Shen family. The ingredients she usually needs are here, so she is more confident in the flavor she has concocted.

Everything is in order. The table has been set up outside, just waiting for the dishes made by Shen Anan to be served.

It took Shen Anan less than half an hour to make the bottom pot of the shabu-shabu hot pot.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, she was a little itchy, so she made two cold dishes by the way, a plate of cold salad crispy and three shreds, and a garlic and phoenix feet.

After these two dishes are ready, she will put the meat and vegetables she prepared in front of her with the appropriate shabu-shabu on the plate, and put them in a beautiful shape for them to start serving.

Here, she set up the pan and began to fry the sweet potato balls.

Hearing Xiao Qi's report that the table had been set, Song Cheng and Li Sheng put away their expectations.

The shopkeeper Tong has washed his hands and is ready to start the eating mode.

When I walked in the door, I smelled a fragrance that I hadn't smelled before. He couldn't help but shout: "I don't know what this little girl is doing deliciously? ”

"I can't guess either."

I saw two cold dishes on the table, and three small stoves. There was a small pot on the stove. There were a few pieces of meat and bones floating in the pot, and nothing else.

In front of several people, in the middle of the table were two plates of very ordinary-looking cold dishes, and the other dishes were raw.

Li Sheng frowned when he saw it, and Shopkeeper Tong and Song Cheng also looked stunned.
