Chapter 272 What Did You Realize?
Princess Lejia and her family gnawed on the lamb ribs for a while, and then started eating the side dishes.
When ordering hot pot, they also ordered various side dishes.
Princess Lejia picked up a piece of white radish with a serving chopstick and put it in the bowl.
The white radish is cooked until it is soft and tasty. When you put it in your mouth and take a sip, the juice hidden inside will suddenly gush out, filling your mouth with sweetness.
Princess Lejia curled her eyes in a good mood, it was so delicious.
Zheng Zheng said that you must order white radish when eating mutton spine hotpot.
White radish is cold in nature, which complements the lamb ribs. In this way, you don't have to worry about getting angry.
There is also lotus root, which has the effect of clearing heat and moistening the lungs, so you should also eat some.
Princess Yi'an took a bite of the tender and smooth tofu, which had absorbed the flavor of the soup in the pot.
Chew it gently, and the rich bean and meat aromas will intertwine in your mouth.
After swallowing it, I felt the fresh fragrance on my lips and cheeks.
Liang picked up the cooked spinach with chopsticks, put it into her mouth and started eating.
The spinach has absorbed the essence of various ingredients in the soup pot. If you chew it carefully, you can taste the unique fragrance of spinach with a hint of meaty aroma.
You can even taste the umami flavor in the soup pot, it's delicious.
Jiang Xi also happily ate the soft, sweet white radish: "I didn't like white radish at all before, but later I found that when white radish is cooked with other meats, it actually becomes so sweet and soft."
Wen Xinhou also agreed: "It is true. The taste of white radish cooked with meat is completely different from that of ordinary white radish. Now, whether it is beef offal or oden, my favorite is the white radish."
Ever since they ate oden and beef offal, Wen Xinhou and his son, who had never liked eating white radish, had completely changed their minds about it.
Princess Lejia listened to them talking with a smile and took a sip of fruit tea comfortably.
Her drink was Roselle Assorted Fruit Tea, which was made from Roselle, pear, peach, hawthorn and red dates.
After taking a sip, you will feel a slight astringency at first, but the astringency disappears quickly and the sweetness is obvious.
If you savor it carefully, you can feel the rich floral fragrance and the sweet fruity aroma intertwined with each other, and the tea soup brushes over the tip of your tongue, slightly sweet and mellow.
After the sourness, there is an intoxicating freshness and sweetness.
The most comfortable thing is to eat hot pot while drinking Roselle assorted fruit tea.
Eating only mutton spine hotpot may feel a bit greasy, but it is just right to pair it with the refreshing and sour and sweet, refreshing Roselle assorted fruit tea.
Everyone was eating mutton spine hotpot, drinking drinks and chatting.
In the end, everyone touched their bulging bellies and didn't want to move at all.
In addition to mutton spine hotpot, this restaurant also serves grilled mutton spine.
The people at the table next to them were eating roasted lamb ribs. As the fire continued to roast them, the aroma of cumin soon spread in the air, carrying with it the mellow flavor of lamb.
“It smells so good!”
Although he was already very full, Jiang Xi breathed in the fragrance wafting through the air and couldn't help but take a look at the food at the next table.
It does look delicious.
Wen Xinhou also felt a little regretful. If he hadn't been so full, he would really like to try whether the lamb rib hotpot or the grilled lamb rib was better.
Liang smiled and said, "Try it next time. It's not like you won't come again in the future."
Why didn't she realize before that her husband was such a greedy person, and so was her son?
Jiang Xi flipped through the booklet in his hand, supported his waist and stood up: "Let's go to the dessert area now, it's just right for a walk to digest the food."
They had agreed before they came to eat hotpot first and then have dessert after the meal.
After eating, continue to visit other areas.
Jiang Xi was estimating the distance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
County Lady Yinghua and Miss Zhou are really amazing. The various plans and distances between areas are so reasonable.
Just like their current situation, although they are already very full, when they walk to the dessert area, there is still some extra space in their stomachs.
You can also stop to buy some snacks, drinks or herbal tea along the way, which is simply perfect.
The others also slowly stood up, preparing to leave the hot pot restaurant and go to the next location.
Princess Lejia also stood up. She subconsciously looked back but found nothing unusual.
She didn't know why, but when she was eating, she always felt as if someone was watching her.
But every time I looked back, I found nothing.
Jiang Xi, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with Princess Lejia: "Aning, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Lejia: "Nothing."
Maybe it’s because she has been writing a lot of ghost series recently, and she has become suspicious.
It seems that I need to take a good rest for a while after finishing the story I am doing, and then continue writing.
"Let's go then. I need to buy a giant cup of bubble tea on the way."
"You have to hold your waist when you walk now, can you still drink a super large cup of bubble milk tea?"
"It's just now, it will be back to normal in a while."
"Okay, you two brothers, hurry up, stop dawdling."
"Here I come."
Peilan looked at the figures of Princess Lejia and her group gradually going away, her eyes slightly warm.
It can be seen that the young master is really happy now.
Now Jiang Jinrong has become a sick man, Han Jing and her daughter are in jail, and her annoying little son has been sent away from the capital.
No one will be able to disgust the young master in front of her anymore.
Very good! !
Cai Qing also smiled and looked at the direction where Princess Lejia left: "The young master is very similar to the master."
Perrin hummed softly, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
Princess Lejia looks very similar to Han Yin, but her temperament is more cool and elegant.
In comparison, Princess Lejia is more lively.
Cai Qing added: "It is really thanks to the young master that I can eat such a delicious hot pot today."
Coincidentally, as soon as they arrived at the food street today, they saw Princess Lejia and her group, and followed them to eat mutton spine hotpot.
Perrin picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of lamb ribs and put it in Caiqing's bowl.
"Eat more if you like. It's cold, and eating this is also comfortable."
Lamb ribs not only have a lot of meat, but also have a firm texture, are tender and fragrant, and are not too oily. They don’t taste smelly and have a slightly sweet taste if you taste them carefully.
I have to say, it is really comfortable to eat such a steaming hot pot on a cold winter day.
Cai Qing finished gnawing the meat off the bone and suddenly said, "Pei Lan, why don't we go see the master today and bring her some of her favorite food."
Perrin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go walk around the food court and see if there's anything the master would like. Then we can buy more."
Cai Qing also smiled: "Well, buy more."
It was cold outside, but the hot pot in front of me was emitting steam and carrying a rich aroma of food.
The two of them were eating the mutton spine hotpot and felt the warmth from their mouths to their stomachs.
The whole body felt warm and even the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.
So comfortable!!
…
Lord Jiang happily swallowed the mutton in his mouth and looked at his grandson opposite him who was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but show sympathy.
"Wenyuan, if it really doesn't work, forget it. We don't need this little discount."
Before coming to the food street, Lord Jiang had already agreed with Jiang Cheng to have a shabu-shabu hotpot.
In order to meet the tastes of different groups of people, the spicy hotpot is divided into slightly spicy, mildly spicy, slightly spicy, medium spicy and extremely spicy.
It just so happened that today the food street held an event to promote spicy hot pot.
Anyone who can finish a whole set meal with the spicy hotpot in this restaurant can get free hotpot for life.
Lord Jiang didn't care about these promotions; he only had eyes for his favorite food.
Moreover, this hotpot is said to be extremely spicy, which doesn't sound like a proper hotpot base.
It's not like he thinks he has lived too long, nor is he tired of living, so he would not participate in such an event just for a little discount.
Jiang Cheng was delighted when he heard this. This was like pie in the sky!
How could he miss out on free food for life?
So, they ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot as they had planned before.
It’s just that one side is a mushroom pot, and the other side has an extremely spicy soup base.
Lord Jiang tried to persuade Jiang Cheng earnestly, but after evaluating his ability to handle spicy food, he decided to challenge himself.
Before the hot pot base was served, Jiang Cheng was still full of confidence.
Whenever he thought about the free hotpot for life, he felt incredibly powerful.
Jiang Cheng even felt that he could handle any level of spiciness, and the extremely spicy one was no problem at all.
But when the steaming pot was served on the table, Jiang Cheng showed his fear.
The mushroom pot is still as light as usual. In addition to mushrooms, there are some wolfberries and red dates floating on top.
In contrast to the light mushroom soup base, the abnormal spicy soup base is bright red in color, and the chili peppers float on the boiling soup, giving people a strong visual impact.
When the soup in the pot begins to boil as the temperature rises, the red oil and fragrance take turns to come out, and the taste of chili and various spices also rises with the hot steam.
The strong aroma is enough to give people an unprecedented sense of stimulation to their sense of smell.
Just by smelling the smell, Lord Jiang felt choking.
He looked at Jiang Cheng's desperate look and shook his head slightly.
Alas, young man, he has to suffer some losses so that he will know what he can do and what he cannot do.
Well, this incident can teach Wen Yuan a lesson.
It was only after he went through some things that he realized that the most expensive things in the world are free things.
He is old now and it is impossible for him to always be with Wenyuan.
If Wen Yuan can really learn a profound lesson from today's incident and comprehend the truth from it, it will be of great benefit to his future career in officialdom.
*
After Lord Jiang figured out the trick, he felt much better and started eating happily again.
Jiang Cheng's mood was not so good. He first took a deep breath and took a big sip of tea before starting his challenge.
He poured the mutton into a colander, then put it into the pot and started to blanch the meat.
The mutton was sliced very thinly, and soon after it was put into the boiling pot, the mutton in the colander changed color.
Jiang Cheng fished out the mutton, picked it up with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The mutton is completely wrapped in peppers and spices. Every bite can make you feel the freshness and strong spiciness of the mutton.
The spicy taste goes through the tip of the tongue and rushes straight to the top of the head.
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. The spicy feeling could stimulate his appetite, taste buds, and even bring him a pleasure he had never experienced before.
It seems that he can still accept this abnormal spiciness.
Hehehe~~~
Jiang Cheng seemed to have seen the lifetime free hotpot waving at him. He ate a few mouthfuls of mutton and then started to eat the tripe, intending to finish the job quickly.
The surface of the tripe is dark gray, the leaves are evenly thick, and the particles are clear.
When it comes out of the pot, the small thorns are covered with red oil and soup, and are slightly curled, which looks very tempting.
When Lord Jiang looked up while eating hotpot, he saw Jiang Cheng putting the tripe soaked in spicy sauce into his mouth, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Although I want to teach my grandson a lesson, isn't the price a bit too high?
Jiang Cheng had no idea what Lord Jiang was thinking, he was concentrating on eating his tripe.
The tripe is crunchy when chewed. In addition to its freshness, crispness and toughness, it also has a steaming spicy taste, as if a fire is ignited on the tip of the tongue.
Jiang Cheng swallowed the tripe, took a big sip of jasmine milk tea, and started eating the beef.
The fresh and mellow taste and the stimulating spicy feeling explode in your mouth at the same time. After swallowing, there is still a tingling feeling on your lips.
While simmering the pot, Jiang Cheng kept adjusting his breathing, trying to find a rhythm for eating spicy food.
At first, this spicy feeling can stimulate appetite and make the taste richer and more layered.
But before long, this feeling quickly turned into a challenge.
As Jiang Cheng ate, his lips, tongue and even throat began to feel burning and numb.
Even eating each bite of food requires great courage.
Since Jiang Cheng was one of the few challengers in the store, there was always a waiter watching his situation.
When the waiter noticed that Jiang Cheng was beginning to cry, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, can you still bear it? If not, you can end the challenge immediately. We will give you a bowl of banana milk."
Jiang Cheng also knew that he had reached his limit: "Terminate the challenge."
"OK."
The waiter immediately removed Jiang Cheng from the challenge list and brought a bowl of tender, white and smooth banana milk.
Jiang Cheng picked up the bowl in front of him and took a sip.
The lingering aroma of milk and refreshing fruity fragrance suddenly spread between the lips and teeth, and the discomfort in the mouth seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Jiang Cheng drank the whole bowl of banana milk in one gulp, and only then did he feel like he was alive again.
No wonder it is called abnormally spicy, it is simply not acceptable for normal people.
"Waiter, three more bowls please."
Elder Jiang watched Jiang Cheng drink another bowl of banana milk and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, how do you feel?"
Jiang Cheng: "Alive."
Lord Jiang: ...
He was unwilling to give up easily: "Wenyuan, do you have any ideas now? For example, have you realized something?"
Jiang Cheng: ...
I see. Grandfather wants him to make a summary.
"Grandfather, I originally thought that super spicy food was just a challenge to the taste buds, but in fact it is a test of the limits of the body and the psychological endurance."
Jiang Cheng took another sip of banana milk: "At first I did go for the reward, but now I feel that the reward is actually nothing. The spirit of daring to challenge oneself is the most important."
Mr. Jiang: ???
It seemed a little different from what he had thought before, but it also sounded like it made sense.
Jiang Cheng drank the remaining banana milk slowly without even looking at the hot pot on the table.
Oh, what else could he figure out?
Isn't it just that I realized that I can't eat anything that is too spicy?
It will probably be a long time before he touches any spicy food.
