When she walked outside the Youth League Home, Ning Xiyue could already smell the spicy smell in the air, which was the most obvious. She went around to the kitchen and sneezed several times, and heard other people sneezing at the kitchen door.
Ning Xiyue half-closed her eyes, wiped the tears from her eyes, and quickly ran past the stinging and choking smoke.
"That's how much chili pepper they put in it. It's so spicy."
"Ache, Ache—"
As he spoke, he sneezed several more times.
"Xiyue, you're back. Come here quickly. There's not much smoke here, so it won't choke you."
Liu Yao sat on a stone beside the chicken coop to prevent the fence from falling and waved at Ning Xiyue, while her other hand was holding a wet handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
Ning Xiyue took small steps and ran over to sit next to her. Finally, she didn't feel so choked anymore.
"How much chili pepper did Ye Chu put in the frying? As soon as I came over, I could smell the overwhelming spicy smell."
"Almost every dish is stir-fried with chili peppers. You wouldn't know, but at the beginning, we cut a large bowl of chili peppers. It's the big bowl for soup. It's full. All of them are used to stir-fry today's dishes. I tried the dishes and they were spicy and fragrant, very delicious."
Liu Yao spoke excitedly, she still loves spicy food.
"I'm frying the last dish of snails now. I don't know why, but the chili peppers made my eyes and nose run, and I sneezed non-stop. Ye Chu asked me to come out for some fresh air, so I stuffed a bunch of firewood into the stove and quickly ran out to get some fresh air. Ah, I'm finally feeling better."
"I can tell it's delicious just by smelling it." Ning Xiyue sniffed it gently and sighed with satisfaction.
Ning Qingyuan, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the voice and shouted outside: "Little sister, you are back. Come in and try the taste. The duck in the pot will be ready soon."
"Here I come."
Ning Xiyue stood up and walked into the kitchen.
The smell from her side was obviously not pungent, so she could conclude that her second brother was quite gentle when frying the duck, not adding much dried chili peppers. There was no pungent smell, only fragrance.
Will it be a bit bland for those who like spicy food?
"Come, try it."
Ning Qingyuan scooped two pieces out of the pot and handed them to Ning Xiyue and Liu Yao.
Ning Xiyue quickly washed her hands, picked up the piece of duck meat full of soup on the spatula and put it into her mouth.
His eyes suddenly lit up like two small light bulbs.
She was wrong, she was very wrong. Who says that something that doesn't smell pungent is not spicy? This is all wrong, an illusion, but she was happy to be wrong.
It has a hot and sour taste. Her brother used pickled peppers to stir-fry it. The duck meat is very flavorful and fully absorbed.
Although it was spicy, it was well within their tolerance and she liked the taste.
"How does it taste?"
Ning Qingyuan looked at her expectantly and asked.
Yu Zhiyu also looked at the two of them curiously, waiting for their comments. The duck in the pot was fried by the two of them together. He cooked the first half and Ning Qingyuan cooked the second half. It was a collaborative dish between the two of them.
Ning Xiyue was happy inside but remained calm and said nothing, continuing to gnaw on the piece of duck meat in her hand.
When they wondered if it tasted bad, they smiled widely and gave a thumbs up.
"It's delicious, especially good. The broth has a great flavor and the meat is easy to chew. It's not too tough or too soft. It's ready to be served."
After hearing this, Liu Yao couldn't wait to put the meat into her mouth, sucking on it and happily chewing the meat while enduring the heat.
“Spicy, delicious, delicious.”
The two brothers smiled when they received unanimous praise from their younger sisters.
"As long as it tastes good, the heat can be reduced. I'll start cooking right away."
"good."
After Yu Zhiyu put out the fire, he packed up the chairs and benches and took them outside the kitchen. Then he and Liu Yao went to help Chen Yechu.
Ning Xiyue stood by the stove and wanted to see what side dishes were inside, but the iron pot was deep and the hot smoke blocked her view.
Ning Qingyuan smiled knowingly upon seeing this, scooped up the vegetables from the pot with a spatula, and filled two bowls with them: "Sister, take it over."
Bring it to the table and look at it slowly.
"good."
Only when the dishes were served did Ning Xiyue see clearly what was in the bowl.
This clear sight made her marvel again and again.
Bean curd skin, bean curd sheets, ham sausage slices, fish tofu, potato chips, instant noodles, many of these things are not available now, but will be common hot pot dishes in the future, and they appear in this bowl of duck meat.
Let her call him good guy.
Ye Chu is so brave.
Ning Xiyue pretended to be ignorant and asked her second brother: "Brother, where did you get these dishes? I've never seen them before."
"Chen Yechu provided it. She said some of it was made by her, and some was sent to her by her grandmother. Her grandmother's tofu-making skills are amazing. Let me tell you, this is called bean curd skin. You might not know it, but I heard the craft is quite complicated. Her grandmother took a long time to learn it when she was young."
Ning Qingyuan enthusiastically explained science to Ning Xiyue.
Ning Xiyue pretended to know nothing and listened to his popular science lecture carefully, nodding and agreeing with him, which aroused Ning Qingyuan's enthusiasm for popular science lectures.
At this time, Chen Yechu came over with the food and shouted happily, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
"Let's go out and let Chen Yechu explain it to you."
Ning Qingyuan ran out with a plate of remaining duck meat and drunken shrimps and said to Chen Yechu, "Yechu, tell my sister about the sausages you made. She's interested."
"Oh, okay, let's talk about it after we finish eating. This is actually similar to making sausages, but the steps are a bit more complicated." Chen Yetu lowered her head and placed the bowls of food. This was not difficult for her. She could do what she said.
Ning Xiyue saw Chen Yechu, who was stunned for a second, and smiled secretly: "Don't talk about complexity, I just like to eat ready-made food, ready-made food is so good, I like Yechu and grandma being so affectionate, it's great."
Chen Yechu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would save him some trouble. He raised his head and looked at Ning Xiyue with a smile.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll show you something new later. Now, let's eat and taste the fruits of our busy afternoon's work."
