Chapter 61 Cold Pot Skewers
On the way back to Wen's, Wen Shuzhou passed by a convenience store and bought a bag of bread. After filling his stomach, he drove directly to the bottom of the company building and went in to arrange his afternoon work.
...After Wen Miao had a great time at the billiard hall, he saw a Shanxi Sliced Noodle Restaurant not far away when he walked out the door, so he headed there immediately.
The boss is from Datong, Shanxi, and he makes authentic knife-cut noodles.
When a bowl of hot, white, and spicy sliced noodles is sprinkled with the desired salt, then mixed from top to bottom, and then slurped up with chopsticks, the mouth is filled with fragrance. It is so delicious.
After finishing this bowl of noodles, Wen Miao was sweating profusely and simply went to the swimming pool to swim.
Just like last time, Wen Miao attracted quite a few girls to the swimming pool this time, but so what? Wen Miao just ignored them.
It was a hot day, and on the way home, Wen Miao suddenly wanted to eat cold pot skewers, so he went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients and materials for making cold pot skewers and carried them into the car.
After arriving home, Wen Miao drank a glass of water, checked the time, and went into the kitchen to get busy.
To make cold pot skewers, you have to prepare the ingredients first. Wen Miao has gotten to know the Wen brothers’ tastes pretty well in the past few days, so she bought ingredients that all three of them like.
Broccoli, tofu, bean curd skin, wide noodles, potatoes, zucchini, lotus root slices, shrimps, hot pot meatballs, corn, beef tripe, quail eggs, mushrooms, as well as chicken wings, chicken breast, beef... everything that needs to be cut has been cut.
Afterwards, blanch the vegetables for three minutes, the mustard greens for thirty minutes, the shrimps until they change color (peel them after blanching), and the meatballs, corn, quail eggs, etc. for about ten minutes. After cooking, put them in cold water to cool. After more than ten minutes, Wen Miao found the skewers he had bought, washed them, and skewered half of the ingredients and left the other half unskewered.
The cold pot skewers in the supermarket have two flavors: spicy and peppercorn. Wen Miao bought them all together, mixed the seasoning directly with room temperature mineral water, divided it in half, put the ingredients in to soak, and waited for half an hour before eating.
Of course, in order to make the ingredients more flavorful, Wen Miao soaked them for at least an hour before the two Wen brothers came back.
"Wen Miao, cold pot skewers? Did you make them?" Wen Qingzhou sniffed as he entered the door.
"Um."
"Of course, Wen Miao. You know this kind of hot weather is the best time to eat this kind of food!" Wen Qingzhou washed his hands, smiled and sat down at the dining table.
"Don't worry, wait for your brother, he may be here soon. I have stewed rice in the pot, you can serve it, skewers are better eaten with rice." Wen Miao called Wen Qingzhou in the kitchen.
“I am here.”
While they were talking, Wen Shuzhou came in.
"Brother, are you back? Go wash your hands quickly. Wen Miao and I have been waiting for you to eat." Wen Qingzhou said as he moved the rice and chopsticks to the table.
"good."
"Everyone is here, let's eat." Wen Qingzhou, chopsticks in hand, was already impatient.
"Brother, try it. You seldom ate this kind of skewers before. Eat it to your heart's content today. It will stimulate your cognition."
"Okay." Wen Shuzhou responded readily and picked up a skewer of tripe.
"tasty."
"Is that so..." In just a blink of an eye, several strings of tofu skin had entered Wen Qingzhou's mouth.
"Image, light boat."
"Brother, the three of us can sit together and eat, it's nothing special."
“…Forget it, let’s just enjoy our skewers.”
