This is not a lie made up by Old Man Jiang to deceive Jiang Ning. It is not that the food cooked by today's chefs is not delicious. They just feel that something is missing, but they can't tell what it is.
Anyway, we just know that Jiang Ning cooks delicious food and everyone misses him.
In this way, Jiang Ning's reputation for good cooking skills spread from one person to another.
Sometimes, the host family of a wedding would specifically come to Old Man Jiang and ask him if they could invite Jiang Ning back to help as the chef for a few days.
Old Man Jiang was extremely proud to hear this, but he always ruthlessly rejected others.
"Old Li, it's not that I don't want to call you, but Ning Yatou is working in the government right now. She has to cook for so many government employees every day and doesn't have time to ask for leave to come back."
Moreover, Jiang Ning has more and more things to do now and has no time to cook. He has been in the city for so long and has not yet eaten the meal cooked by Ning Yatou.
So, when Jiang Ning said he wanted to cook himself, Father Jiang was very happy.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Soon Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Weimin came back carrying large and small bags of things.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom, we are back."
Before Jiang Weimin put down his things, he suddenly realized why Jiang Ning was here?
At that moment, Jiang Weimin seemed to have seen a ghost and blurted out, "Ning girl, you, you...why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at home?"
The sound was so loud that Jiang Ning was startled.
Jiang Ning pretended to be angry, tears welling in his eyes. He crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Second brother, do you not welcome me to your home?"
When Jiang Weimin heard Jiang Ning's voice change, he immediately realized that his words were too harsh.
He immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, how could I not welcome you? You misunderstood! I just saw that you haven't been out for a long time, and now I'm happy to see you. I'm so happy that you came over, how could I not be happy?"
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Weimin pitifully and asked, "Really? Second brother, you didn't lie to me?"
"How could Second Brother lie to you?"
At this time, Jiang Weimin really hoped that there was someone who could save him from this dire straits.
"Ning girl, stop joking. Second brother is scared."
Then, the heavenly voice said to Jiang Weimin, "Second brother, Ning knows everything. We don't need to hide it anymore."
Jiang Weimin instantly felt like he was alive again.
He looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Chen Yan. He remembered this favor and thought to himself that he had decided to make this brother-in-law.
Later, Jiang Jianguo also came in. He didn't seem surprised when he saw Jiang Ning.
Maybe it’s because of his personality, the eldest brother has always been more steady in doing things, but not as smooth as the second brother.
Jiang Jianguo greeted Jiang Ning calmly, "Ms. Ning is here?"
Jiang Ning nodded and replied, "Yes, brother."
Jiang Weimin couldn't believe it. He originally wanted to see his brother's reaction, but who knew it would be like this?
Not exciting at all.
"Okay, now that the food has arrived, I'll cook today."
Jiang Ning looked at the vegetables they bought, including pork, radishes, potatoes, cabbage, vermicelli, tomatoes, tofu and even dried kelp.
You can make six or seven dishes, which is just right for such a large family.
When Jiang Ning was about to cook, Jiang Weimin walked into the kitchen and said, "Ning girl, let me help you. Oh, by the way, when you cook, leave some vegetables out and don't add any chili peppers. Your sister-in-law gets irritated whenever she eats chili peppers."
Wan Zhifang, who had secretly followed Jiang Weimin in, immediately responded, "It's okay, Ning girl, put some chili in it. I can't eat without chili."
Jiang Weimin looked at Wan Zhifang: "You can't eat it, but you still want to eat. No, Ning girl, you can't listen to your sister-in-law."
Jiang Ning thought that he could only eat light food and not spicy food at all. Wouldn’t it be torture to watch so many people eating spicy food?
It seems that I can’t cook anymore.
So what should I do?
It's winter now, and if you don't stew the stir-fried dishes, they will get cold immediately, especially those with meat.
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of making hot pot?
I just happened to have tomatoes, so I could make a tomato hotpot and add a spicy hotpot, which would be perfect.
She did what she said and looked at the seasonings in the kitchen. She just happened to have the ingredients for making spicy hot pot.
"Brother, just help me wash the dishes, carry them out and put them on the table. Your mission is complete. You don't need to come in anymore."
"Just serve the washed vegetables straight out? No need to fry them?"
Jiang Weimin thought he had heard wrongly.
Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "Just take it out like this."
Jiang Weimin had no idea what Ning was trying to say, but he just had to do what she said.
Soon the fire in the stove was ignited by Chen Yan.
Jiang Ning scooped a large spoonful of lard into the pot and melted it, then put the garlic in and added his own secret bean paste into the pot and then added cinnamon bark, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, star anise and bay leaves and stir-fried them until fragrant.
Because Jiang Ning and his team sell braised dishes, these spices are always available at home and can be found by just looking around in the kitchen.
Finally, add the chopped meat into the pot and stir-fry, then add water, and the whole kitchen will be filled with fragrance in an instant.
Chen Yan looked at Jiang Ning's cooking and asked, "Ning girl, what kind of dish are you making? Why does it smell so good?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "This is hot pot."
"hot pot?"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "You'll know when we eat later."
Then, I used the boiled bone soup to make a tomato pot, which was also fragrant.
"Chen Yan, please help bring these two pots to the dining table."
"Okay!" Chen Yan nodded.
Soon, Chen Yan placed the two pots on the dining table.
Everyone was attracted by the aroma and felt strange looking at the two pots.
Jiang Weimin glanced at the red hot pot and thought it was Jiang Ning's soup. He just couldn't understand why soups weren't supposed to be light. There was a light pot with tomatoes, but it wasn't tomato and egg soup? Why only tomatoes and no eggs? Now that they could eat eggs, why were they suddenly being frugal?
There was also a pot of red soup. It was true that they liked spicy food, but why was Ning Ya's soup so red? There were also a lot of dried chili shells on top. Wasn't that necessary? And it was strangely stewed with charcoal? He didn't understand.
So he humbly asked, "Ning girl, what did you make? It smells so good! I think I could eat three bowls of rice just by soaking in this soup."
Jiang Ning burst out laughing: "Second brother, this is not soup, this is hot pot."
Jiang Weimin didn't feel embarrassed and continued to ask, "Hot pot? What is it?"
"Just put these vegetables in this pot and blanch them until they're cooked, then you can eat them. I'll show you how to do it, just watch."
