Chaoge waved everyone away, distributed some food ingredients and hot pot ingredients to Xiang and the others, then took Aunt Li, Yunchang and a few others, as well as Black Panther and his wife, to the front yard, painted a hot pot, and ate barbecue.
Even Leng Liecheng, who was recuperating in the house, was carried out by Yunchang.
Looking at the soup boiling in the bottom of the pot, everyone except Chaoge was confused.
"How do you eat this?"
Not to mention Aunt Li and Yun Chang, even Leng Furong, who was present, had never seen such a thing before.
Chaoge picked up a piece of spicy beef, rubbed it back and forth in the red oil pot for a few times, then scooped it up, put it in his bowl, coated it with the dipping sauce, and put it into his mouth.
Traveling back to this ancient time, the taste has really become lighter.
She had discovered long ago that in this era, it seemed that there was no such thing as eating chili peppers.
She has been missing the taste of hot pot for a long time.
Taking a bite of the spicy and delicious beef, which was full of sesame oil and the flavor of coriander and minced garlic, Chaoge felt that his dull taste buds were instantly awakened. He simply couldn't stop eating it.
“It’s so delicious, this is the taste!
The ingredient is a bit spicy, but I thought you probably haven’t tried this kind of chili, so I didn’t put too much.
You can try it. If you can accept it, eat the one with kerosene. If you can't stand the spiciness, then eat the mushroom soup here. It tastes just as delicious.
The way to eat it is the same as I just did. Because these beef and mutton are easy to cook, they can't stay in the pot for too long. Brushing back and forth seven or eight times is enough. The meat is the most tender and delicious at that time. "
Listening to Chaoge's introduction and his demonstration, everyone present picked up their chopsticks, picked up the ingredients they wanted to eat, and began to learn.
Taking advantage of this free time, Chaoge put the fish balls, beef balls and shrimp balls into the pot.
“As long as these kinds of meatballs float, they are cooked and can be picked up and eaten.
Compared to frying meat, it must be cooked with more heat."
After saying that, Chaoge looked at them expectantly, eager to know their feedback.
"Wow! Water..."
Before anyone could say that it was delicious, Leng Xiaoran swallowed the spicy beef in one gulp, tears streaming down his face. He jumped off the stool, stomping his feet and shouting!
Seeing him like this, Leng Furong quickly picked up the teacup, which had already cooled down, and brought it to his mouth.
The little fellow picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, pouted, and couldn't help sticking out his tongue. It seemed that he couldn't stand the discomfort!
"Don't you think it's spicy?"
Looking at Leng Xiaoran's appearance, Chaoge looked at Aunt Li, Yunchang and Xue Fei again.
“My mouth can’t handle it, but the more I eat, the more I want to eat!
This smells so good, I have never eaten anything this delicious in my life, it is even better than the prawns I had with you at Yuefeng Restaurant!"
Looking at Xue Fei, who drank cup after cup of tea without stopping to use his chopsticks, Chao Ge couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "That big lobster costs eighty taels of silver, how can it not be delicious?
It’s just that the cooking method is light. You are used to eating light food, so when you suddenly eat something heavy, your taste buds will naturally be stimulated.”
"Oh my god, what are you eating?!
I could smell this fragrance even outside the mansion!"
As soon as Chaoge finished speaking, a familiar and surprising voice sounded from far away, startling everyone at the table. They stopped eating their chopsticks and looked towards the direction of the door.
When looking at the person following Lao Wu, Chaoge was so startled that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks anymore and they fell into the pot.
Seeing this, Aunt Li and Xue Fei were so scared that they hurriedly fished chopsticks out of the pot, but Yunchang and Chaoge had already stood up and went to greet the newcomer.
"Mother! Why are you here!?"
Looking at Concubine Qing in front of him, Chaoge was not surprised at all, and his mind was full of his five children...
"Look at your expression, what's wrong?
Are you afraid that your mother will abandon you at home?
Don't worry, they are all in Beijing.
You will know when you go back with your mother later."
"Hey, little pigeon, is this Yu Mo's mother?"
Yunchang had never seen Concubine Qing before, but when he heard Chaoge addressing her, he immediately reacted.
But looking at Concubine Qing's well-maintained figure and face, Yunchang simply couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Dad. Mother arrived after you left Lingfeng County. For such a long time, she has been helping me take care of the children."
Hearing this, Yun Chang nodded repeatedly: "I really didn't expect that my mother-in-law didn't expect you to come. We just ate, come to the table quickly!"
Yunchang looked at Concubine Qing's elegant and luxurious attire, and was so reserved that he completely forgot that this was already his residence.
Nervously, he rubbed his hands on himself subconsciously, which was an invitation.
Aunt Li and others had already stood up and made way for their seats. Chaoge looked at Concubine Qing who was smiling, but ultimately stopped talking. She told the maid waiting on the side to quickly prepare two new sets of bowls and chopsticks.
"What is this?
The fragrance drifted outside the courtyard wall.
Just now when I got off the carriage, I actually saw someone looking in your direction, probably attracted by the fragrance."
"oops!
My barbecue is burnt. Mother, please sit down first and I will take care of the meat!"
Looking at the grilled meat on the stove, Chaoge hurried to get busy.
Lao Wu sniffed and walked to the barbecue grill nearby.
"This is the first time I've seen barbecue, with skewers grilled over charcoal. Compared to grilling over an open flame, the meat doesn't seem to be dark at all.
Madam, you actually prepared delicious food as soon as I left.
You did this on purpose, didn’t you?
Lao Wu, who was usually serious, smelled the aroma of the barbecue, looked at the novel hot pot, and the table full of fresh ingredients, and his tone couldn't help but become a little more resentful.
Chaoge didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How could I know that you would not come back at night after you left?
I prepared these things for the new store. When you saw me buying ingredients today, it was you who left on your own.
Besides, even if you miss it today, can I still miss you if I want to eat it later?"
"Oh, little pigeon, stop working and come sit next to your mother.
Tell mother quickly, how do you eat these? "
Not to mention Yunchang, even Aunt Li, Leng Furong and others couldn't help but feel restrained when they saw Concubine Qing suddenly appear.
When they heard how Chaoge addressed her, they became even more confused.
They already knew that Chaoge's mother had passed away, and this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared, could it be that she was Chaoge's mother-in-law?
"Xiaoling, you turn it over, don't let it burn."
Chaoge called the maid beside her to come to the barbecue grill, and then walked to sit next to Concubine Qing.
"Mother, when did you arrive?"
