"Oh my god, this smells so good." Yan Erni walked over to the pot and asked, "What did you put in this pot? Why does it smell so good?"
"It's made with a secret marinade."
"What is the marinade?" Xu put her nose close to it and sniffed it. The smell was really unusual.
"Cousin, I can't tell you this. If I tell you, I'll have to pay the restaurant back."
"You must have braised dozens of kilograms of meat, two big pots full of meat." Zhang Mingyuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the two big pots full of meat.
Zhang Youkuan also swallowed his saliva, "It really is a big business. How much do you want to deliver today?"
Yan Erni picked up a pair of chopsticks and wanted to start.
"Aunt, it's only been in the pot for a short time, it's still raw." Zhang stopped her quickly. "It's not good to eat it, it will upset your stomach."
"It's okay, I just want to taste it!"
Zhang had no choice but to cut off some tail meat for her.
Yan Erni tasted it and said, "It smells good, but the taste is just average. It's too chewy."
Zhang was speechless. She said that it had just been put into the pot and the flavor had not absorbed into it yet. It would be strange if it tasted good.
"There's nothing to see here. The kitchen is so small, and there are so many buckets and basins that it's hard to even stand. You'd better sit outside. The second son's wife still has work to do." Zhou advised.
Unexpectedly, several people entered the kitchen but didn't want to leave. "What's in your bag?" Zhang Mingyuan asked, pointing to the cloth bag in the pot.
Chunxiao made the bag to hold the marinade ingredients, to prevent them from sticking to the meat during the stewing process. "Ingredients."
The Zhang family's eyes lit up now, knowing that this was the recipe for the meal.
Xu stepped forward and said, "Cousin, can we take a look?"
Chunxiao stared at her until she felt a little uneasy, then she said no.
The Zhang family was disappointed. "You can't even take a look. Cousin, you really treat us like outsiders."
Chun Xiao sneered. She had long been fed up with this tactless cousin-in-law, but thinking of her father, she endured it. "I already said that if this recipe is leaked, I will have to pay compensation. Are you going to pay me 500 taels, cousin-in-law?"
"500 taels, my God, why does it cost so much? I'm afraid you were cheated by the restaurant."
"They're also afraid that I'll leak the recipe. I have to agree to this deal even if I don't want to." Chun Xiao looked at the Zhang family with some embarrassment. "Okay, everything is here. We've seen it. Let's go out and talk." After saying this, she stood in front of the stove, preventing them from moving.
The few of them had no choice but to leave the kitchen, looking back every few steps.
