Quan Yuxun complained in his heart, but he still smiled as he picked up a bun and took a small bite with reserve.
The steamed buns with leavened dough and meat that he had eaten before had to have thicker skin, otherwise they couldn't be made so big.
So when he took his first bite, he didn't expect to taste the meat filling.
Unexpectedly, with just a small bite, he could taste the layer of skin that connected the meat filling inside the bun.
The soft and natural flavor of the plain flour seemed to have transformed from a young girl into a gorgeous lady. The aroma of meat filtered through the flour suddenly overwhelmed his taste buds, and the appetite that he had ignored for many years suddenly burst out like a mountain torrent, uncontrollable.
Next, Quan Yuxun completely immersed himself in the taste of the meat bun, savoring it carefully.
Eating the bun skin alone tastes one way, eating the meat filling and the bun skin together tastes another way, and if you take a bite of the rich meat filling alone, you can even taste the black truffle and morel mushrooms inside.
When he swallowed the last bite, he didn't feel full, but even hungrier.
Although Zong Ruoan had eaten it once, he was still immersed in the overwhelming deliciousness of the wild rhinoceros pork buns.
Quan Yuxun glanced at him and really began to look forward to the dinner that Xia Yuanfang would make.
…
Xia Yuanfang cooked four big dishes in the evening.
One dish was four-happiness meatballs made with wild rhinoceros pork, in clear soup, because she found that Zong Ruoan preferred this kind of clear soup flavor, and that Chief Quan should be similar to him.
One dish is braised pork made with wild rhinoceros pork, because Xia Chujian particularly likes it, and Xia Yuanfang thinks that the little baby Wu Fu should also like this soft and chewy taste.
One dish was tofu made from minced unicorn beef, but unlike last time, this time she cut the tofu into thin strips thinner than a hair, then stewed it in broth and served it in a soup bowl.
The last dish was the fish cake that Xia Yuanfang made for the first time.
Beat the fish meat into a puree, then add the puree of wild rhinoceros pork and puree of unicorn beef in a ratio of 7:2:1. Finally, mix evenly with egg white, knead into long strips, and steam it into a snow-white cake with the help of the gelatin of the fish meat.
Then take it out, slice it and serve.
As an appetizer before the meal, Xia Yuanfang used the remaining minced fish meat and breadcrumbs to fry a few golden fish balls, and also made some pickled radish himself. Eating a bite of pickled radish while eating meat dishes can not only relieve greasiness but also increase appetite.
The dessert after the meal is quite common, which is glutinous rice balls with sweet osmanthus wine.
Because Xia Chujian likes to eat this for breakfast every winter.
Unfortunately, the red glutinous rice was gone. Xia Chujian found the bag of red glutinous rice and shook it hard for a long time. Finally, he poured out the last bit of red glutinous rice residue and cooked it with the fermented rice.
So the crystal clear milky white osmanthus wine is now filled with dots of red, and together with the white and glutinous small dumplings, they float in the sky-blue soup bowl, making people's mouths water.
After all the dishes were served on the table, Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoan, two knowledgeable people, were speechless for a moment.
Xia Chujian felt particularly proud.
She greeted them with a smile, "Thanks to Chief Quan, I'm also enjoying a new dish today."
"Oh? Which one is it? Even you haven't eaten it?" Quan Yuxun asked with a smile.
Xia Chujian shook her head and said regretfully, "No, I really haven't. My aunt has rarely made new dishes in recent years. I thought I had tried all of her dishes. It turns out there are some I haven't eaten yet!"
As she spoke, she took out the child seat she had recently bought and placed it next to her seat.
The Five Blessings and Four Joys have been circling around the dining table since the dishes were first arranged.
Unfortunately, both the man and the dog have short legs and cannot reach the table even when they jump.
Now Xia Chujian finally picked up Wufu and put him in the child seat.
When Si Xi saw that he was alone under the dining table, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Wulf, Wulf."
It cried softly, with a hint of sobbing.
Xia Chujian said regretfully, "Si Xi, you can't come to the table. But it doesn't matter. I'll prepare some delicious food for you. Can you go to my room to eat? All the good things are yours. Let's close the door so that no one can come and steal our little Si Xi's food!"
Xiaogouzi tilted his head and looked at her for a while, not knowing whether he understood or not.
But when Xia Chujian picked up the food bowl that was bigger than its head, it understood.
He followed Xia Chujian to her room, wagging his tail all the way, and happily ate alone.
Then Xia Chujian considerately closed her door and came out to eat with everyone.
Xia Yuanfang took out the bottle of red wine that Ye Shijie had given him and said with a smile, "Would you two gentlemen like to drink some wine?"
Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun both picked up their wine glasses and said, "Thank you, Aunt Xia."
Although this wine is not the top-grade red wine that they drink at home, it is still a very good wine for ordinary people.
Even in an ordinary aristocratic home, it is a brand that can be shown off.
Xia Yuanfang poured a glass for Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun respectively.
Xia Chujian quietly held out the cup: "...Aunt, I am an adult."
Xia Yuanfang had never allowed her to drink, saying that she was underage.
However, Xia Yuanfang still refused: "No, you are not yet twenty-one years old and cannot drink."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She could understand that people under the age of eighteen could not drink alcohol.
But you can't drink alcohol if you're under 21, where's that rule from?!
Of course, she didn't have the courage to confront Xia Yuanfang, so she could only pour herself a glass of golden fruit juice in disappointment.
