Chapter 271: He can draw inferences from one instance
Princess Lejia and Princess Yian were sitting around the table, eating mutton spine hotpot and chatting.
Each piece of lamb ribs comes with meat, and a variety of spices and Chinese herbs are added to the bottom of the pot. It is spicy but not dry, and has a fragrant aroma.
Jiang Xi picked up a piece of lamb ribs closest to him and put it in the bowl.
"It's delicious. When I first heard about lamb scorpion hotpot, I thought it was a hotpot made with lamb and scorpions. I was a little scared just thinking about it. I didn't expect it was just the spine of a lamb, hahahaha."
As Jiang Xi spoke, he started to eat the lamb ribs in the bowl.
The lamb rib meat has been stewed until it is very soft and tender. It can be easily removed from the bone by biting it with your teeth and pulling it lightly. The meat is tender and delicious, without any smell of mutton.
It is chewy when you first eat it, but sweet and juicy when you chew it carefully.
If you taste it carefully, you will find a hint of sweetness.
Wen Xinhou also laughed and said, "Hahaha, I thought so too. I was also wondering why Aning suddenly wanted to eat scorpions. But scorpions are okay. If it was a centipede, I really wouldn't dare to come."
Princess Lejia was at a loss for words. Why did they bring up scorpions and centipedes for no reason?
"How could I possibly take you to eat these things? Sheep scorpion is the spine of a sheep. It just looks very similar to a scorpion, so it is called this name."
Zheng Zheng had shown her a whole spine that had not been cut open before. It was a long spine with sections connected together, and it really looked like a scorpion.
Princess Yi'an and Liang didn't say anything. They just ate and looked at Princess Lejia and the other two with a smile.
Princess Lejia: "By the way, lamb scorpion meat is delicious, and the bone marrow inside the bones is the essence, don't miss it."
Jiang Xi was about to throw away the bone, but when he heard this, he picked up the bone with chopsticks again.
He gently sucked on the hole in the middle of the sheep bone, and the soft and smooth sheep marrow was sucked into his mouth.
The tip of the tongue immediately felt the soft and delicate taste, it was so fresh and tender.
When others saw Jiang Xi's appearance, they knew how delicious the sheep bone marrow was.
They also slurped at the hole in the middle of the sheep bones, and the soft and delicate bone marrow was immediately sucked into their mouths, instantly filling their mouths with a rich aroma.
Ahhh, this is so delicious!!
…
Although Song Ye would have a meal with Zhou Ying and the Zhou family every once in a while, he was usually busy studying and Zhou Ying was busy with business matters.
Since the food court opened, Zhou Ying and Song Ye, mother and son, have only been there once.
After eating hot pot, the other members of the Zhou family found an excuse to go their separate ways so that the mother and son could have some private conversation.
Zhou Ying is very familiar with the various plans of the food street, and she doesn't even need a map to know what food and drinks are available at which location.
The mother and son walked, stopped, shopped and ate all the way, and came to a restaurant selling egg waffles.
They ordered original egg waffles and each bought a cup of jasmine citrus oolong tea.
This restaurant is built right by the lake, where you can enjoy delicious food while appreciating the lake view.
The aroma of the freshly baked egg waffles is very tempting.
The plump, golden and round little balls connected together look very pleasing to the eye.
The egg waffles are soft, glutinous and full, as if they would be squeezed out with a light pinch.
Song Ye picked one up and put it in his mouth. It was a small piece, just enough for one bite, and it tasted very satisfying.
The egg waffles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. When you bite into them, your teeth first touch the slightly crispy outer skin, and then the soft and glutinous inside with a hint of toughness.
Chew it carefully, and the rich egg aroma quickly spreads between your lips and teeth, combined with the crispy outside and chewy inside.
Zhou Ying ate an egg waffle and took a sip of citrus oolong tea.
Jasmine Citrus Oolong Tea has a light and refreshing oolong tea base, paired with beaten citrus.
There is a slightly salty sea breeze scent at first, followed by the fragrance of jasmine, and the rich fruity flavors of ripe citrus and apricots emerge...
The taste is light and natural, and the more you taste it, the more charming it becomes.
Zhou Ying took another sip of oolong tea. It was really delicious.
Song Ye: "Mom, this food street's hot pot festival was very well organized. After this, more people will definitely like the food street. To be honest, if I hadn't come to participate in the hot pot festival today, I wouldn't have known that there are so many types of hot pot."
Zhou Ying smiled, looking proud: "Don't talk about you, it's because of you that I know so many kinds of hot pot. There are clear soup pot, medicinal food pot, spicy pot, brine pot, porridge pot, and various chicken pots."
"Sometimes I really feel that your cousin Zheng is just like the God of Cooking in the storybook, a deity from heaven who came down to earth. Otherwise, how could she know so many delicious foods and drinks?"
As Zhou Ying spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and the pride on her face became even greater.
"These hotpots are only suitable for eating when the weather is cold. Your cousin Zheng said that when the weather gets warmer, there will be other hotpots. There are even hotpots suitable for eating in the summer. Just hearing her say that, I'm looking forward to it."
"Besides the hot pot festival, we have other activities coming up. Not only the food court, but also the Yipinlou..."
When Zhou Ying talked about business, his face lit up with joy and he looked very energetic.
Song Ye listened to Zhou Ying with a smile and nodded from time to time.
Zhou Ying talked for a while and suddenly realized that she seemed to have been talking about business matters.
He even talked about the future plans and various ideas.
There was a hint of apology in her eyes: "Ye'er, you probably aren't that interested in this, why don't we talk about your time in the Imperial College."
Song Ye shook his head: "My son likes to hear what his mother says, and he also knows that his mother likes her current life very much. As long as my mother is happy, I am happy."
He felt that Zhou Ying was in a very good state now. While doing what she liked, she also had a partner who could work towards the same goal together. There was light in her eyes again.
Song Ye has been paying attention to Zhou Ying's situation and has noticed all her changes.
In his childhood memories, there always seemed to be an unremovable sadness between Zhou Ying's eyebrows.
Although Zhou Ying smiled more often after divorcing Song Zhichen, she was still not as dazzling as she is now.
Zhou Ying now lives a happy and confident life.
The whole person is radiant, and people can't take their eyes off him.
Although she was excellent before, she was not as confident as she is now, nor as dazzling as she is now.
When Zhou Ying heard Song Ye's words, she was stunned at first, then she smiled again.
She really likes her current life and lives a happy and fulfilling life every day.
The hopeless, boring and depressing years in the Duke's Mansion seemed like just yesterday, but they have become so far away.
It seemed like just a nightmare.
Zhou Ying, who was in a daze and lived like a walking corpse, has also disappeared.
Zhou Ying raised her teacup: "Mother promises you that she will make herself happy every day. The same goes for Ye'er, you must be happy every day."
A smile appeared in Song Ye's eyes, and he also raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Ying's.
"It's a deal."
While eating egg waffles and taking a sip of sweet and refreshing citrus oolong from time to time, you can enjoy the scenery by the lake.
It is indeed a wonderful thing to have important relatives around you.
…
"Dear guests, this is the rabbit head you ordered. Please enjoy it."
The Xie family had not yet finished their hotpot when the waiter brought them the rabbit heads they had ordered.
Rabbit heads can be spicy or spiced.
Xie Mi sniffed the spicy and fragrant smell and said, "Brother, do you dare to eat this rabbit head?"
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would go through a psychological struggle when eating rabbit heads for the first time.
Although this thing smells good, it's still a bit scary if you look closely.
Even though they know that spicy rabbit head is delicious, some colleagues still dare not eat it.
Xie Mi has already thought about it. His parents don't eat rabbit heads, and what if his eldest brother and nephews and their wives don't eat them either.
Then all these on the table belong to him.
Hahaha! ! !
General Xie glared and said, "Why should we be afraid of this? You really underestimate us."
If an ordinary person suddenly saw several plates of skulls on the table, he would definitely feel scared.
But General Xie didn't feel anything strange at all. What kind of brains had he not seen? ?
What does this little rabbit head mean?
As a brother, General Xie naturally knew what Xie Mi was thinking.
In order to prevent him from succeeding, General Xie had to eat the rabbit head no matter what.
Having said that, General Xie washed his hands with the water prepared by the store, then picked up a spicy rabbit head and started to eat it according to the method told by the waiter.
Eat the tongue first, the cheek meat, then the eyes, and finally the brain...
As soon as he took the first bite, General Xie’s eyes widened.
It's really spicy, fragrant and fresh!!!
No wonder that brat wanted to have the meal all to himself.
Although there is not much meat in the rabbit brain, it is tender and juicy.
The meat is firm but not dry, and has a very chewy texture. You can feel the tenderness and elasticity of the meat in every bite.
The flavors of various seasonings have completely penetrated into the rabbit's brain. When you take a bite, the spicy and fresh flavor bursts in your mouth. The taste is simply indescribable.
The sauce was prepared just right, not too spicy nor too numbing.
The slight numbing feeling brings a slight stimulation to the tip of the tongue, but it is not unbearable.
On the contrary, it brings out the deliciousness of the rabbit meat to the fullest, making people want to take a second bite after taking the first bite.
General Xie finished eating the entire rabbit's skull in one breath, then picked up the teacup beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's really delicious. I didn't expect that rabbit meat is not only delicious in hot pot, but even the rabbit skull, which looks like it doesn't have much meat, can be cooked so deliciously."
You know, in the past, whenever they roasted rabbits, they would only eat the legs and the meat on the body.
No one touches the rabbit's head, and it is thrown away every time.
General Xie came back to his senses from the food critique, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
That’s not right. They have been to the food court so many times, why has this kid never taken him to eat spicy rabbit head?
He must have some selfish motive!!
Humph, even if you don't let him eat, he insists on eating!!
The more General Xie thought about it, the angrier he got. His anger immediately turned into appetite, and he ate the rabbit head on the table with big bites.
In fact, General Xie really wronged Xie Mi this time. There are too many kinds of food in the food court, and new ones are always introduced.
He didn't mean to not bring General Xie here to eat rabbit heads, it was just that it wasn't the turn of rabbit heads yet.
When Xie Mi saw his elder brother concentrating on eating, he just felt funny.
Even if it’s not enough, you can order more later. Why eat it in such a hurry?
But on second thought, he is still different from his eldest brother.
My eldest brother has limited time to stay in the capital, so naturally he will eat less and less of these delicacies.
He is nothing like me. He can come to the food court any day he wants.
You can eat the food here anytime you want.
Thinking of this, Xie Mi suddenly felt some sympathy for General Xie.
"Brother, there are many other foods in this food court. You have to save some space in your stomach. After we finish eating, we will go shopping somewhere else and try some more delicious food before returning."
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. After he said this, General Xie ate the rabbit head even faster.
Xie Mi: ...(_)
Eat, eat.
Just let him die of starvation.
Soon, Xie Yanqing and Yun Ruo also joined the ranks of eating rabbit heads.
Neither of them had ever eaten a rabbit head.
Xie Yanqing and Yun Ruo also went for the spicy rabbit head, but the five-spice one was neglected and directly ignored.
At the beginning, Xie Yanqing didn’t quite know how to eat.
He felt that the rabbit head incense was really fragrant, but it was a bit troublesome to eat.
It's hard and full of bones, and it doesn't feel as comfortable as eating meat in big bites.
He imitated General Xie and ate the rabbit head bit by bit according to the order told by the waiter, and slowly found the trick.
Although there is not much meat in the rabbit brain, every part of it is carefully processed.
From the cheek meat to the rabbit brain, every part can have a different taste.
Especially the brain of the rabbit head, which is as tender as tofu and melts in your mouth.
If you savor it carefully, the delicate taste and the stimulation of the spicy seasoning intertwined in your mouth will leave you with an endless aftertaste.
Yun Ruo also gnawed on the rabbit head, feeling the unforgettable taste experience.
As soon as you put the rabbit head meat in your mouth, you will smell the spicy taste, followed by the complex aroma brought by various spices, and finally the deliciousness of the rabbit head meat itself.
The taste is rich and layered, with a transition from spicy to fresh and fragrant.
The more you chew it, the more fragrant and delicious it becomes.
After eating the spicy rabbit head, they tried the spiced one.
Different from spicy food, the five-spice rabbit head tastes fragrant but much lighter.
The meat of the rabbit head is also tender and chewy, with a mellow taste but not greasy.
It’s a completely different taste.
When leaving the hot pot restaurant, General Xie looked around, sneaked up to Xie Mi, and lowered his voice.
"Second brother, you can eat the rabbit's head, but the rabbit's butt..."
Since the rabbit's head smells so good, can the rabbit's butt also smell good?
Xie Mi: ...You can actually draw inferences from one example? ?
Also, when did Big Brother's taste become so strong?
“You can’t eat it!”
Xie Mi seemed to be worried and added: "We don't know yet whether the brains of other animals can be eaten, but their butts are definitely not edible."
This needs to be made clear first, otherwise this foolish man might really try it.
General Xie stared at Xie Mi for a while, as if trying to determine whether he was lying.
After a while, he nodded: "Yeah, I understand."
In fact, he was just asking casually, so there was no need to be so serious in his tone.
Could it be that he would eat rabbit's butt behind people's back?
