Chapter 162: Spicy Hot Soup is Delicious
"Wife, I bought them back. When I went there, the stall owner was about to close the stall, so I bought the last few." Gu Yan came in excitedly.
"Did you really buy it back? I thought it was time to close the stall?
Besides donkey meat hotpot, did you buy anything else?" Li Wanqing said, looking at the large and small bags in Gu Yan's hands.
"Well, I also bought some spicy soup. I've never eaten it before, so I bought it to try. If it tastes good, we'll buy more and store it." Gu Yan has now been assimilated by Li Wanqing.
No matter what kind of food it is, as long as it is delicious, I will think of buying more and storing it in my space so that I can eat it whenever I want.
"Really? Bring it here for me to try. I haven't had Huo La Tang before." Li Wanqing said in surprise.
Li Wanqing was not lying. She had definitely drunk it before, but it was in modern times. She had not drunk it once since she came to ancient times.
Gu Yan quickly put the table up, and Li Wanqing took out two bowls from the space and poured the spicy soup into the bowls.
The vendor selling Hu La Tang was quite clever. He cut a bamboo tube to use as a container so that people who wanted to take the soup away wouldn't have to worry about not having anything to put it in.
"Hey, it's delicious, delicious," Li Wanqing first tried to drink a sip, and then continued to drink.
"Is it delicious? I passed by there and saw that everyone at the snack stand had a bowl of Hu La Tang. I knew it must taste good." Gu Yan also picked up the bowl and drank the Hu La Tang.
You know what, spicy soup with donkey meat hotpot is also delicious, whether it is rare or dry.
After finishing his meal, Gu Yan drove out in a carriage to buy some furniture. He left a deposit and asked the furniture store staff to deliver them to his door.
Then they went to buy pots, pans, utensils, and various oils, salts, and seasonings. Even if they were only staying in the capital for a few days, they still had to eat. It was inconvenient to eat out all the time.
There was no need to buy rice or flour, as Li Wanqing already had them in her space. Meat and vegetables were also readily available, so there was no need to buy them.
Gu Yan walked around the streets and alleys of the city again before going home.
The furniture has been delivered, and Li Wanqing asked the delivery guy to help arrange it.
There wasn't much furniture. Gu Yan only bought a wardrobe, two chairs, a coffee table, and a set of dining tables and chairs.
They don't live in the capital city permanently, so these things are enough for them.
Li Wanqing had already cleaned the furniture and put cushions on the chairs.
"Oh, you bought two more iron pots? What is this? A kettle?" Li Wanqing saw that Gu Yan had bought a lot of things.
"Well, there are two stoves at home, so I bought two iron pots." Gu Yan brought the iron pot in and measured it on the stove to see if the size was suitable.
“I can understand buying two iron pots, but why do you buy two kettles?
There are only three of us in our family, and no one lives in the west room. We don't need to light the stove, and buying two kettles won't be enough, right?" Li Wanqing watched Gu Yan take two more kettles from the carriage.
"Yeah, I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that we have two stoves at home, so I bought two kettles." Gu Yan scratched his head and felt that he bought too much.
Li Wanqing saw Gu Yan's annoyed expression and quickly smiled and said, "I bought it. It won't go bad anyway. Give it to me. I'll put it in my space and save it for later use."
Gu Yan was only annoyed for a moment, but he soon realized that his family didn't need the money, so he just bought it.
At worst, as my wife said, I can keep it for future use. The kettle is made of iron and it won't break.
"Okay, you put one away first." Gu Yan handed one of the kettles to Li Wanqing.
"You've prepared quite everything. You even bought cinnamon and star anise?" Li Wanqing flipped through the oil paper bags one by one.
“Well, I went to the medicine store and bought some peppercorns and star anise. I also asked about the prices of the herbs.
Wife, I'm thinking, why don't we sell the herbs in the city? The price of herbs in the city is higher than that at Shopkeeper Liu's place.
I don't think we have to sell it to Manager Liu." Gu Yan said.
"Okay, just make your own arrangements, I have no objection.
Oh, and there are some extra bison and sheep in the space. You can go find a restaurant to sell them tomorrow." Li Wanqing said nonchalantly.
Gu Yan knew that Li Wanqing would definitely not care about these things, but he still habitually listened to her opinions.
"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow. Wife, please get me a piece of fat meat and I'll start cooking." Gu Yan fixed the pot on the stove.
"Oh, I'll look for it." After a while, Li Wanqing found a piece of fat on the neck and gave it to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan rinsed the pot with water twice, then lit the fire, heated the iron pot, and then rubbed the fat back and forth on the pot.
Rub the pot until it is shiny and glossy. After doing this, the iron pot will not rust easily and can be used for a relatively longer time.
Gu Yan rubbed both iron pots with fat.
Finally, the fat changed color and was thrown away.
"Wife, what do you want to eat tonight? Or should I go to the restaurant and buy some?" Gu Yan asked as he saw that it was getting late and it was time to cook dinner.
"Let's eat wontons tonight. I'll knead the dough and you chop the meat." Li Wanqing wanted to eat something hot, so she thought of wontons.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Yan always listened to Li Wanqing in this regard.
The two of them worked quickly, and in just half an hour, the wontons were wrapped and ready to be cooked.
Drizzle sesame oil on wontons stuffed with green onions and beef before serving, and add a handful of coriander.
On this night with howling north wind, eating a bowl of this makes me feel comfortable from the inside out.
"My wife is really foresighted. It is really comfortable to eat a bowl of wontons in the evening.
If my stomach wasn't full, I would have eaten another bowl." Gu Yan touched his stomach, his tone full of regret.
"Well, they're just wontons. If you like them, I'll make them tomorrow. They're not worth you eating too much." Li Wanqing looked at Gu Yan with amusement and said.
"I didn't mean to overeat. It's just that the wontons are delicious, so I ate too much without realizing it," Gu Yan defended.
"Tsk, what an excuse! Your stomach is your own. Don't you know if it's full? How can you eat more? You're not an ignorant child."
Although Li Wanqing said this, she still stood up and gave him some hawthorn pills to eat: "Hey, take two hawthorn pills to help digestion.
Let's go for a walk in the yard later. Beef is hard to digest, and you ate so much. I'm worried you'll have an upset stomach at night."
"I got it. I'll go there later." Gu Yan ate the hawthorn pills given by his wife, listened to his wife's nagging, and agreed.
Gu Yan likes Li Wanqing nagging him, which makes him feel that Li Wanqing cares about him.
Li Wanqing knew from looking at him that this guy didn't take it seriously at all. She glared at him angrily and said, "You're just fooling me here. You'll know when you feel uncomfortable later."
