Chapter 222 222. Wine
The Shen family has been too lively these days, and there are many people eating. Chef Cheng said he was a little tired, so he took a chance and simply made a hot pot dish.
The simple bottom of the pot is too simple and has no technical content. However, a batch of prawns have just grown in the space, so the shrimp hot pot is just right.
The back of the prawns is sliced open and explodes like a flower when exposed to the hot oil. The red shrimp oil looks mouth-watering.
Seven or eight small condiment dishes are lined up. There are many condiments such as sesame paste, chili oil, minced garlic, chopped green onion, coriander, and sesame oil, which can be mixed and matched at will.
Mr. Xu's eyes widened again.
"Why is there only one dish, and it's still in the pot? Girl, why are you preparing so many raw meat rolls and freshly washed vegetables?"
For the three of the Shen family, hot pot is We are no longer strangers, but this is the first time for both Mr. Xu and Qin Zheng.
Cheng Xi has already prepared the dipping sauce for Shen Xingluo and his sister-in-law.
“I’ll eat those lettuce in a rinse later, and eat the prawns in the pot first.”
She raised her head and said, "Senior, you can adjust whatever flavor you want. If you're not sure, you can adjust a few more ingredients and try them one by one."
"This is good, then I won't be polite."< br>
Seeing her doing this, Mr. Xu was confused about how to eat it, and he eagerly prepared it himself. Qin Zheng was not to be outdone, and soon there were three more small saucers in front of him.
There are five or six kilograms of prawns in the big pot in the middle. They are all plump. You can eat them directly by peeling off the skins of the prawns, or you can also dip them in seasonings.
“Hmm—delicious!”
The cooking skills of the Great Yan Dynasty were too easy. Most of the prawns in the river were boiled or stir-fried. It was not as troublesome as it is now.
However, trouble also has its advantages, and the ingredients should be taken seriously.
Mr. Xu has often had this realization recently.
Qin Zheng had no time to speak. He lowered his head and agreed while eating wildly. He dipped all three plates of snacks in front of him.
Five or six pounds of prawns may seem like a lot, but in fact it’s not much if divided among five people. After a pot of prawns was filled with only red soup, Cheng Xi took the broth and poured it in, while adding a few pieces of charcoal under the pot.
The living room suddenly became very hot.
“Fortunately, it’s spring now. The weather will be hot in a few days. I really can’t eat from this pot!”
Mr. Xu felt a little pity.
I never expected that at such an old age, he would just discover how important food is. He has stopped drinking since coming to Shenjiacun.
Hey, by the way, wine!
“Girl, look, I made the medicine to remove scars yesterday. Isn’t it time to bring out your good wine?”
Qin Zheng raised his head unexpectedly when he heard this. "Brother Shen, your face needs to be healed?"
"." Wasn't it you who made this happen in the first place?
Obviously, this grandson of the Qin family was just enjoying the food and completely forgot about the original purpose.
Shen Xingluo nodded, "Mr. Xu has indeed prepared the scar removal medicine. It will be cured after a few days of application."
"That's great!"
Qin Zheng was so happy that he jumped up. , "I knew that Brother Shen would be a very popular minister and would be very successful in the officialdom in the future. Shen Brother is indeed a role model for me!"
"Wait, shouldn't you thank me for this?"
"Oh, Xu. Lao, don’t worry about these details, you have contributed a lot.”
"." No, that's not what you meant, I heard it!
Cheng Xi left and returned not long after, with a black stall in his arms and the top sealed with red silk.
"Senior, your wine."
