Chapter 97 Wild Morels
Wen Chi felt strangely calm.
Because I have seen so many miraculous things happen in Sui Sui, compared to that, things like fat rabbits automatically delivering themselves to my door and picking mushrooms on the road are nothing big... I don't think so!
“Isn’t that a morel?”
Wild morels are not ordinary farmed morels. They are a mountain delicacy with extremely high nutritional value and are listed as one of the four most famous wild mushrooms in the world!
It would be fine if Suisui picked up common straw mushrooms, wood ears, etc., as these things are indeed very common, but wild morels... can they be picked up casually?
Wen Chi refreshed his cognition again.
But the reactions of the other three were completely different from what he expected.
Zhou Lizhi nodded and said solemnly:
"It's two to two."
Yu Xiaoxiao was surprised:
"So it really is a morel? I thought I was seeing things."
Zhao Sizhen insisted on his own opinion:
"Not necessarily! What if Xiaochi made a mistake? He can't even cook, so how would he know what a morel is?"
Wen Chi felt insulted and argued loudly:
"I can't be mistaken! I just saw a picture of it yesterday! It's definitely a wild morel!"
Zhao Sizhen's eyes turned:
"Why are you looking at pictures of morels for no reason?"
Wen Chi didn't even think about it:
"Because I'm reviewing recipes, of course!"
Zhao Sizhen suddenly realized.
Yu Xiaoxiao thought deeply.
Zhou Lizhi touched his chin.
Zhao Sizhen smiled knowingly:
"I can't believe it, Xiao Chi, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually studying cooking behind our backs!"
Wen Chi blushed instantly!
Oops! This was totally out of his plan!
Originally, Wen Chi had intended to gradually showcase his improved cooking skills. When others asked about it, he would casually say, "I'll get it with a little practice," to showcase his extraordinary culinary talent...
Now everything is ruined! It’s all Zhao Sizhen’s fault!
Zhao Sizhen was stared at by Wen Chi's cold gaze, but he pretended it didn't exist and asked Sui Sui:
"Do you recognize this? Do you know what it is?"
Sui Sui nodded unexpectedly:
"Morels, of course I recognize them!"
…So after all this discussion, no one ever thought of asking Sui Sui?
Zhao Sizhen coughed awkwardly and asked Sui Sui if everyone could eat the morels.
Sui Sui waved her little hand:
"Of course you can! Let's eat Bunny too!"
Rabbit meat is not suitable for hot pot, so Zhou Lizhi said he would make braised rabbit for Sui Sui tomorrow.
Sui Sui agreed graciously.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 6:30 in the afternoon. The sun was setting in the west, the sky was high and the air was fresh. It was a good time to eat hot pot.
Zhou Lizhi's cooking skills are below everyone else's level. Even the ordinary bagged hot pot base, after he adds some ingredients, has an unusual taste. The red soup gurgles and rolls, exuding a spicy and stimulating aroma for the taste buds.
Considering that Sui Sui, who had never eaten chili peppers, might not be able to accept the stimulation, Zhou Lizhi also stewed chicken with morels and made a clear soup base, which was fresh, sweet, light and fragrant for miles.
Now both pots are almost cooked.
Four people and one ginseng sat at the table, eating hot pot around the stove, and the atmosphere was immediately created.
Zhao Sizhen suddenly took out a bottle of beer and patted the bottle:
"I just redeemed this with my points. Isn't it nice?"
The other three were surprised.
"Is there beer in the redemption list?"
"It's new, probably adjusted by Director Jian! Director Jian understands us. How can we have hot pot without beer?"
Zhao Sizhen flipped through it on a whim, saw it by accident, and exchanged it immediately.
Yu Xiaoxiao smiled:
"I didn't expect that during this variety show, I could not only eat hot pot but also drink beer!"
"A new variety show for the new era."
Zhao Sizhen waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.
She skillfully knocked the mouth of the beer bottle on the edge of the table, and the cap fell off immediately.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, Zhao Sizhen filled everyone's cups one after another.
There isn't much beer in a bottle, so after four glasses, the bottle is almost empty.
But everyone thought it was just right.
Otherwise, will you get drunk and act crazy on the show?
What Zhou Lizhi thought of:
"You've just come of age, can you still handle alcohol?"
Wen Chi clenched his fists:
"I'm not a downer!"
Zhao Sizhen didn't think anything of it at first.
When I heard this, it seemed suspicious!
"Or give me half of the wine..."
Wen Chi quickly moved the full beer glass in the opposite direction.
It just happened to be placed in front of Sui Sui.
As for Sui Sui, her attention was originally focused on the bubbling red hot pot.
Suddenly, I saw a cup of yellow water in front of me, with fine white foam floating on it and small bubbles gurgling inside.
"What is this? Is it delicious?"
Sui Sui opened his eyes wide with curiosity and licked his lips, as if he wanted to taste it.
Wen Chi was so frightened that he quickly moved the wine glass away:
"You can't drink this!"
Sui Sui pouted unhappily.
His eyes were rolling around quietly again, and I don't know what he was thinking about.
Zhou Lizhi stood up and announced:
"Okay, you can eat now."
He opened both pots at the same time.
One red soup and one clear soup, the overbearing aroma spread wantonly and quickly filled the room.
Sui Sui swallowed, wanting to taste the chili red soup pot.
After some hesitation, Wen Chi decided to wash it with warm water first, and then let Sui Sui taste it to judge her acceptance level.
Although Suisui felt that Xiaochi was looking down on her, she still nodded in agreement reluctantly.
A bunch of meat dishes are put into the pot first.
The thinly sliced meat is cooked in about ten seconds.
Wen Chi picked up a piece for Sui Sui and rinsed it in clean water for a long time. Only when Sui Sui protested did he finally put the meat into Sui Sui's garlic and sesame oil dish.
Sui Sui is not very proficient in using chopsticks, so he uses a fork instead.
Wen Chi was worried and muttered beside him:
"If it's too spicy or your tongue hurts, spit it out immediately. There's milk here."
Sui Sui shook his head stubbornly:
"I can do it! Um, this meat isn't red at all, and it has no flavor..."
No matter how much he complained, when Sui Sui stuffed the meat slice into his little mouth, he was still hit by the spicy taste.
What is this? Is this chili pepper?
"Delicious, delicious! Hiss—"
Sui Sui took a deep breath and praised loudly.
I almost choked.
Wen Chi stared at her motionlessly, and only relaxed when he saw that Sui Sui was fine:
"Take your time. Eating spicy food takes time."
Sui Sui nodded vigorously.
In fact, the other three were also paying attention to Sui Sui and had no interest in eating.
Now that Sui Sui didn’t cry from the spiciness, we felt relieved. We each picked up our chopsticks and started the battle for food!
"That's right! Cheers!"
Zhao Sizhen was the first to raise his glass.
Yu Xiaoxiao decisively raised her glass and followed suit.
Zhou Lizhi is the same.
Wen Chi hesitated for two seconds and also picked up the beer glass.
Even Sui Sui scooped up the juice with his two little paws:
"cheers!!!"
