By dinner time, all the skewers had soaked up the flavorful sauce, some with meat and some with vegetables, and the spicy and savory taste was very rich.
The whole house was filled with the aroma of Sichuan-style boiled chicken, leaving no place to escape and only able to immerse oneself in the fragrance.
It's not summer now, so well-prepared ingredients don't even need to be refrigerated.
It was just left out there, completely uninhibited.
Aren't you afraid someone will steal your food?
Xiao Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva every time he passed by.
The work environment is indeed good, but it challenges his endurance every day.
Despite his craving, Xiao Li took a picture and sent it to his former colleagues' group chat.
"It's so painful! My boss makes me eat delicious food every day, and every day is a challenge for me. It's so hard!"
As soon as the message was sent, several emojis appeared in the group chat.
"Does anyone speak?"
"If all else fails, I'll do this job; I'm willing to endure the pain."
"Where did Boss Lin set up his stall this week? I really want to eat it! Is this Bo Bo Chicken? I'm drooling!"
"I've noticed that Mr. Lin's cooking has a certain 'gas tension' that makes it very appetizing and makes you want to eat it as soon as you see it."
Xiao Li also noticed this.
The food the owner makes is incredibly fragrant, and its presentation is truly appealing.
Take Bo Bo Chicken for example. The red oil in the seasoning is so shiny and glossy, and the white sesame seeds soaking in it are a perfect match of red and white. It would be so delicious that you could even dip your shoes in it.
The dipping sauce is like a giant dye vat; anything put in and taken out becomes delicious.
And the tofu from last week.
He watched as ordinary soybeans were ground into soybean pulp, filtered, and then boiled.
It turned into a large box of white, jade-like tofu.
It's absolutely amazing when paired with all sorts of seasonings!
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
I wonder how delicious this pot-boiled chicken is.
He noticed that the owner had used three different types of chili peppers, explaining that each type had a distinct aroma.
First, it's stir-fried to release its aroma, then it's ground with a stone mill, and various spices are added along with it to make a seasoning.
It's very complicated.
But the finished product smells amazing!
And the chicken soup.
The broth, made with pure old hen and other ingredients, and the seasonings are absolutely amazing.
Bo Bo Chicken is of course inseparable from chicken.
Fresh chicken breasts were skewered and perfectly cooked, then soaked in the broth, becoming tender and juicy.
And those adorable quail eggs, cooked and then skewered on sticks and soaked in the broth.
The variety of ingredients is dazzling.
Lin Zhou bought a lot of ingredients, and the housekeeper was worried that it wouldn't be enough, so she washed them all, cut them into small pieces, and skewered them.
After cooking in broth, simply soak it in seasonings to infuse the flavor before eating.
Very convenient and delicious.
Finally, it was dinnertime. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, each person held a tray and began to gather around the table, taking whatever they wanted to eat.
The skewers are served in bunches, but each skewer is only enough for one bite.
Lin Zhou took the chicken skewers first.
Fresh chicken breast is sliced into pieces, skewered on sticks, not too thick or too thin, and turns white immediately after being briefly blanched before being added to the broth.
When you take it out, it's covered in red chili oil and white sesame seeds, bright red, dripping with chili oil, and emitting an enticing aroma.
The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns blends with the aroma of chili peppers, and combined with the umami of the broth, all of which is absorbed by the chicken.
The moist texture, along with the broth, is enjoyed with the chicken as it's savored.
The tenderness of the chicken is truly realized at this moment, and paired with the spiciness of the red oil and the sour and spicy flavor of the Sichuan peppercorns, it is really tempting.
The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns is the first thing that comes out when you taste it, combined with the complex aroma of chili peppers, and the tender and juicy texture of the chicken, making it incredibly delicious.
The fiery taste is intoxicating.
One bite at a time wasn't enough; it actually whetted my appetite.
Xiao Li couldn't stop eating.
This authentic Sichuan spicy flavor is really exciting for these southerners who have never experienced Sichuan spicy food before.
When you eat one or two skewers, it's fine; you only experience the fresh, fragrant, spicy, and numbing sensation. But after eating more, the aftereffects kick in, and it gets really spicy.
The aunties were the first to give up; they only ate a few skewers before going to get water.
"I didn't expect the chili peppers here to be so spicy!"
Aunt Fang was slurping and drinking water while eating the spicy food, but she still wanted more. Whether it was vegetarian or meat, the food was very delicious.
It's spicy, but it's also delicious.
The rich, spicy flavor was very satisfying, and after a few skewers, my body felt warm.
The group ate in silence, and for a moment the only sounds in the living room were the sounds of chewing and the hissing of water from the spiciness.
Harmonious and warm.
Xiao Li got hooked on the food, and one skewer wasn't enough. He ate several skewers at once, his mouth full of ingredients, and his lips were red from the spiciness.
Lin Zhou also found it spicy, and stopped eating after about twenty skewers.
The soup base was made according to the recipe, but I didn't expect it to be so spicy.
For someone like him who isn't particularly good at handling spicy food, eating too much would be too much for his stomach.
But for the locals, this level of spiciness should be just right.
After finishing dinner, Lin Zhou packed up the ingredients and prepared to set up his stall.
Then, the little dog, having eaten some of the broth and vegetables, saw Lin Zhou about to leave and silently followed him around in circles.
Lin Zhou didn't notice it when he was busy.
Once on the tricycle, he saw the puppy jump up and get on as well, then curl up at his feet and stay still.
Lin Zhou: ? ? ?
Um?
"Rice ball, it's cold, go back inside and wait for me."
Lin Zhou patted the puppy's head, trying to get it to go back inside, but the puppy didn't react much, just whimpered twice and continued to squat there.
Butler Sun, who had come out to see Lin Zhou off, wanted to go forward and take the puppy down.
I don't know how to set up a stall with my puppy.
But the puppy seemed to have figured out the butler's intention and kept hiding behind Lin Zhou's trouser leg.
"Sir, this..."
Steward Sun could only follow Lin Zhou's lead.
Lin Zhou also had a bit of a headache.
He had never owned a pet before and didn't know what to do for a moment.
The puppy probably clung to him because he was the one who rescued it.
I didn't expect that he would follow me when I went out.
"Never mind, it's probably just arrived home and is scared because it's not familiar with the environment. I'll bring it with me when I set up my stall today."
Lin Zhou was quite patient with the puppy he had taken in.
So, with Butler Sun and the others watching, Lin Zhou set off on his tricycle.
Because I didn't know where to set up a stall.
When he went out, he turned on the stall sign, and the photos became clearly visible in the darkness when the lights came on.
The skewers are soaking in several large earthenware pots on the counter. From a distance, you can only see the densely packed bamboo skewers covered by glass cabinets. The clean and bright environment is very hygienic and makes people feel comfortable.
As soon as they set off, Lin Zhou noticed that passersby would occasionally glance at him.
But perhaps because the people of Sichuan are more reserved, no one greeted him.
I'll only glance at it a few times at most.
