Gao Guojing: "I can testify to this. There is really a lot of food in Shangfen Brigade. You can just walk around outside and find a lot of dishes to take home. The variety is so dazzling that it's hard to believe it."
He then glanced at Xia Jingrong's soup and suggested, "Third Brother, it would taste even better if you added some chili sauce. Try it."
Duolu handed the chili sauce in front of him to Xia Jingrong: "Third Uncle, here you go."
Xia Jingrong took the bottle, smelled it, and said, "This chili sauce was brought from the Shangfen Brigade, right?"
They had eaten all kinds of sauces that Gao Guojing brought back from the Shangfen Brigade before, and they had never seen any sauce on the market that could be as fragrant as theirs.
So he guessed it just by smelling it.
Yu Rujia: "Yes, these were made by your nephews. They taste really good, and they're delicious with rice or in hot pot."
Xia Jingrong scooped a spoonful into his bowl: "Then I have to try it."
Gao Xiujuan reached out her hand: "Jingrong, give it to me when you're done. I want to add chili sauce too."
Gao Shujing: "We brought two large jars of chili sauce with us. They're with Mom. You can use them to mix with rice or vegetables."
Gao Shujing and the four big dolls were carrying large bags, which contained not only some daily necessities but also a lot of food. Doji carried dozens of bars of soap.
Gao Xiujuan: "You've been cooking all the meals these past few days. They're delicious and go well with rice. I was thinking of not wasting the sauce, so we'll take it out and eat it after you leave."
There was no other way; apart from Gao Guojing, the other three were all rather mediocre in their cooking skills.
Gao Guojing doesn't have much time to come back and cook. They eat in the cafeteria most of the time. Now that there are good dishes to eat, of course they should save the sauce so they can take it out when they eat in the cafeteria in the future.
Xia Taishun added chili sauce as everyone else did: "Every time Guojing comes back from your place, we get to enjoy delicious food. Now that you're here, we'll be able to enjoy it for a long time to come."
Xia Jingrong dipped the meat he took out of the pot into a sauce with chili sauce, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up. It was so fragrant and flavorful.
Xia Jingrong: "It's really delicious. It's even more flavorful with the chili sauce. It's perfect for hot pot. Let me take some sauce back with me later."
Gao Xiujuan: "You know what, eating it after dipping it in chili sauce makes me feel even warmer."
"Jingrong, bring less sauce. It won't keep well where you are. No matter how much you bring, you'll finish it all in a few days. If you want some, just come here to eat."
“We usually get our meals and eat at home, and Jingguo does the same; he brings his own food back and adds sauce.”
It wasn't that Xia Jingrong had a huge appetite; it was just that his comrades were all there, and the food he brought was quickly devoured.
Xia Jingrong joined the military region when he was a teenager and spent more than ten years with Xia Taishun and others. Gao Xiujuan had come to regard him as her own son and was not so polite to him.
Xia Taishun ignored his wife's lawsuit with the two younger relatives; he was completely absorbed in the delicious food in the pot with chili sauce.
Xia Taishun: "It's delicious. This chili sauce tastes good no matter what you mix it with. If this had existed more than 20 years ago, I wouldn't have gone hungry in Shuicheng."
Water City was a new place name that the children had never heard of before.
Duolu looked up and asked, "Third Grandfather, is the food in Shuicheng really that bad?"
Xia Taishun: "It depends on the person. The food there is sweet and sour, and people from Shuicheng like this kind of flavor. But some people from other places, like me, can't accept it."
Duo Shou: "Sweet and sour flavor? Does that mean everything you make is both sweet and sour? Is this how people in Shuicheng eat?"
Gao Xiujuan: "Sugar is very precious, and no one can put it in every dish. However, it is used when entertaining guests. Their signature dishes are all sweet and sour."
"For example, you can find sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and sweet and sour spare ribs in some state-run restaurants."
She had gone to Shuicheng with Xia Taishun on business and knew some of the local specialties. She almost threw up from the sweet and sour fish they ate there.
Duofu imagined the sweet and sour meat and his heart involuntarily shuddered: "This kind of dish probably won't taste good, will it?"
Gao Shujing: "Personal tastes vary, but the locals think it's delicious."
The hot pot meal was a lively affair, with plenty of ingredients and a large quantity; the whole family ended up stuffed.
Just after he finished cleaning up the dishes, Gao Guojing brought out the steamed frozen pears he had made.
Duoxi patted her slightly full stomach and said, "Uncle Guojing, why don't we eat later? Our stomachs are still full."
Frozen pears are delicious, but he really can't eat them right now.
Yu Rujia: "We just ate too much meat, and frozen pears are perfect for cutting through the grease. They're just right to eat at this time."
Gao Guojing placed the frozen pears on the table: "That's right, and once the frozen pears are steamed, they're basically just pear juice, like drinking water. They won't fill you up, so one for each of you. Try them, I guarantee you'll be thrilled."
Gao Guojing brought back a box of frozen pears from Gao Tianmu's place. Although they couldn't eat them all, they didn't have to share them like they did when they first ate frozen pears.
The gluttonous Duolu didn't care about anything else and stared longingly at the frozen pear: "I can eat it. If Duoxi can't eat it, I'll eat it for you."
Duoxi immediately objected: "Second brother, no, I can eat it."
He just felt a bit full and wanted to eat more slowly, but he didn't say he wouldn't eat.
When it comes to good food, even his favorite second brother wouldn't give way to him.
Duole urged, "Let's start eating."
This is also someone who is not afraid to persevere.
In other words, the Yu family had good upbringing; they, the younger generation, were not allowed to make a move before their elders did, so they could only watch the frozen pears longingly without taking any action.
Gao Shujing handed a frozen pear to Xia Taishun and Gao Xiujuan respectively: "Dad, Mom, have one."
The two took the slightly steaming frozen pears, each tore open a hole, and began to suck on them.
Once the two elders started fighting, the boys couldn't control themselves and each grabbed one to eat.
Dressed in a light pink outfit, Duoyi sprang into her older brother's arms with a speed completely out of proportion to her size, and said happily, "Eat, eat, eat."
Duofu smiled slightly and said softly, "Duoyi, sit down, your big brother will give you some."
Duoyi immediately sat up obediently, waiting to be fed.
Duofu put the frozen pear into a bowl, poked a hole in it with a spoon, and the pear juice immediately burst out of the frozen pear. He then used the spoon to scoop up the pear juice and feed it to Duoyi, who had already posed for a while.
The little one looked quite pleased as he drank the sweet pear juice, and his rosy cheeks made you want to pinch them even more.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
Yu Rujia turned around and saw that Duo Le was holding a juicy frozen pear high up, stretching his mouth to catch the pear juice. However, a lot of pear juice was not caught and flowed onto his chin, clothes and the table.
