Chapter 111 Nothing is impossible
In the early morning, a drizzle fell over the capital.
With each autumn rain, the weather becomes cooler. The cold branches on the streets rustle, and the occasional greenery is not as lush as that in summer.
Chen Huazheng drank jasmine milk tea while flipping through the notebook in her hand.
Zhou Ying came close to Shen Huazheng: "Zheng'er, what are you looking at?"
Chen Huazheng: "It's a storybook called "The Kitchen God's Days on Earth", it's quite interesting."
Zhou Ying also became interested when she heard it, "What's it about?"
Chen Huazheng: "It tells the story of a cooking god in heaven who was banished to the mortal world and opened a restaurant. The food she cooked is not only delicious, but also good for health and longevity. It can also improve beauty and complexion for women."
That day, Shen Kesi brought her a lot of storybooks, several of which were quite interesting and Shen Huazheng liked them very much.
Later, she even went to a street full of bookstores and walked around for a few rounds, and found that the script that Shen Kesi had chosen for her was still a bit conservative.
I have to say that Daliang is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
The imagination in these stories is in no way inferior to that in later online writings.
Some of the books left a deep impression on Shen Huazheng and shocked her greatly.
One of the books tells the story of a young man who went up the mountain to hunt and accidentally rescued a beautiful girl.
The two fell in love at first sight and got married after going down the mountain.
Not long after the marriage, the young man discovered that the beautiful girl was actually a fox demon.
And that fox demon was a male.
In the end, the young man and the fox demon lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the man and the demon lived a shameless life from then on.
There is another one, which tells the story of a brave and warlike general who lost his memory due to injury and was rescued by a mysterious and beautiful woman.
The general fell in love with the woman during his amnesia. After he recovered his memory, he brought her back to the general's mansion and discussed with his wife about taking the woman as a concubine.
Little did he know that the concubine's true identity was actually a princess from an enemy country, and she approached the general only to steal state secrets.
At the end of the story, the country was destroyed due to the leakage of important intelligence.
The concubine became the new monarch, and the general was thrown into prison, suffering from whipping every day.
His dignified and virtuous wife was secretly brought into the palace by a concubine, and her life changed completely from then on.
He lived a life second only to one person and above everyone else.
Shen Huazheng was stunned at the time. There was really nothing that could not be made up.
Zhou Ying held up her chin and said, "It does sound interesting. Lend it to me after you finish reading it."
Chen Huazheng agreed immediately and readily: "Cousin Ying, I have a lot of good storybooks here. In addition to this "The God of Cooking's Days in the Mortal World", there are also "Young Man, Please Stay" and "What Can Fox Lady Do?" I can lend them to you to read."
Zhou Ying: “…Thank you.”
I don’t know if it’s her illusion, but she always feels that these names sound weird.
Princess Lejia just walked in and heard Shen Huazheng's last words. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the secretary next to him was quick-witted and stepped forward to help immediately.
This prevented her from having close contact with the earth.
Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were both startled, but they were relieved to see that Princess Lejia was fine.
"A Ning, are you okay? Why are you so careless?"
Princess Lejia stroked her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about what delicious food Zheng Zheng would make today, and I didn't pay attention for a moment."
Speaking of food, Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying's attention was quickly diverted.
Chen Huazheng: "Today I plan to make spicy hot pot."
Now that she has chili peppers, Shen Huazheng always wants to make something spicy.
Now that the weather is getting colder day by day, it would be quite comfortable to eat a spicy hotpot.
Zhou Ying & Princess Le Jia: Spicy hot pot???
…
Chen Huazheng directed everyone in the kitchen to start processing the ingredients, and Zhou Ying also helped.
Princess Lejia also took a knife and cut the lotus root into slices in an orderly manner.
Chen Huazheng added a proper amount of oil into the pot. Once the oil was hot, she poured in bean paste, chili peppers, bay leaves, ginger, onions, garlic and other seasonings.
An enticing aroma instantly burst out of the pot, and everyone couldn't help but sniff.
Smells so good!!
After the seasonings in the pot were stir-fried into red oil, Shen Huazheng poured the processed ingredients into the pot.
Tender white lotus root slices, yellow fried tofu, pink shrimps, green cucumbers, round and white fish balls, orange-red shrimp balls, and transparent potato vermicelli.
The pot is brightly colored and full, and it is very tempting just by looking at it.
Everyone breathed in the spicy and fresh aroma in the air, looked at the ingredients bubbling in the pot, and couldn't help swallowing.
Princess Lejia was watching from the side and suddenly became excited.
Ahhh, this spicy hotpot looks delicious.
Well, I need to drink something to relieve the spiciness during lunch, but what should I drink?
I feel like drinking both, but I don’t know which one to choose.
So troubled~~
Zhou Ying silently noted down the steps that Shen Huazheng had just taken, thinking that she would make a pot for Zhou Chengan to try after she returned.
Dad loves spicy food, he will definitely like this.
…
The maid lifted the lid of the pot, and the pot full of ingredients immediately appeared before her eyes.
The food in the pot is colorful, looks very rich, and has a domineering spicy flavor.
Zhou took a deep breath: "Zheng'er, what is this?"
Chen Huazheng: "Mom, this is spicy hotpot. It's delicious and appetizing."
Zhou nodded and picked up the chopsticks: "Let's eat."
As she spoke, she took the lead in picking up a piece of fried tofu and putting it in the bowl.
The fried tofu has a crispy and delicious skin, and has a spicy, salty and fragrant taste.
Chew it carefully, and the spicy taste wrapped in the rich bean fragrance spreads between your lips and teeth.
Delicious
Seeing Zhou start eating, others couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks.
Princess Lejia picked up a shrimp and put it into her mouth.
The shrimps have been deveined and are very elastic and chewy. They also have a spicy taste, which makes them more delicious and addictive.
Zhou Ying picked up a piece of lotus root slice. The lotus root was extremely crisp and tender. After taking a bite, the lotus root juice instantly overflowed in her mouth, with a light sweetness and a spicy and salty taste.
After eating a shrimp, Princess Lejia reached for the fish balls with her chopsticks.
The fish balls are tender and smooth, and after being tempered in the spicy hot pot base, the spicy and fresh aroma has penetrated into the fish balls.
As you chew, the juice in the meatballs will overflow, and the unique fish aroma combined with the spicy taste will spread in your mouth.
After swallowing the fish balls, the delicious aroma still flows on the tip of your tongue.
This has a completely different taste and flavor from fish ball vermicelli soup.
Shen Huazheng picked up the sweet potato vermicelli, blew it carefully, and then put it into her mouth.
The sweet potato vermicelli is wrapped in sauce and red oil. It is soft yet tough. It tastes smooth, chewy, elastic, and fresh.
Shen Huazheng swallowed the sweet potato vermicelli, and her peach blossom eyes curved slightly.
