Chapter 141 Wang Xinru visits the Qin family!
"Sister Zhizhi, is this the good stuff you brought back from Qinjia Village? It looks really strange to me. Could you please introduce it to me?"
Wang Xinru stared curiously at the strings of shiny red sausages in the Qin family's yard.
Qin Zhizhi smiled, shook the sausage in her hand and said: "This is unique to our Qinjia Village, and you can't taste it in Beijing."
"This sausage is made from year-old pigs. We select the fat and lean parts, cut them into small pieces, marinate them with a secret seasoning, and then stuff them into sausage casings."
"If you dry the sausages in this kind of weather, they will dry out slowly and have a richer flavor."
"The skin is firm on the outside, but the meat inside is tender and juicy, with a hint of sweetness in the salty aroma, and it has a very chewy texture."
"I'll let you taste my cooking at noon today. It can be steamed or fried, and it's best served with rice."
Qin Zhizhi was drying the sausages while introducing them to Wang Xinru.
After listening to Qin Zhizhi's description, Wang Xinru secretly swallowed several times.
On the other side, Qin Qinghui was describing to Ning Ning the taste of the sausages he had eaten yesterday.
"Sister Ning'er, you guys should stay home for dinner today. It's really delicious. If you don't believe me, just ask my second brother."
Ning Ning had never doubted the delicious food Qin Zhizhi made, but she still turned to look at Qin Qingyun.
Looking at the little girl's curious and expectant eyes, Qin Qingyun nodded.
"Sister Ning'er, please stay for lunch today. It's a good opportunity to try this sausage."
Ning Ning smiled happily and thanked Qin Qingyun sweetly when he invited her.
"Sister Ning'er is biased. Why did she only thank Second Brother and not me?"
Qin Qinghui asked jokingly after hearing Ning Ning thanking his second brother.
"Thank you Qinghui, it was my fault just now." Ning Ning hurriedly thanked Qin Qinghui, which made Qin Qinghui feel embarrassed.
His original intention was not to ask Ning Ning to thank him, but just to play a joke on Ning Ning.
"Okay, hurry up and dry the sausages, or we won't have lunch."
Seeing that his fifth brother was embarrassed, Qin Qingyun quickly spoke up to help him out.
Ning Ning followed Qin Qingyun and asked him to teach her how to dry sausages. The little girl dressed up carefully for going out today.
Qin Qingyun took Ning Ning to the side to dry out.
“Sister Ning’er, it’s the same here, otherwise the oil from the sausages will stain your clothes.”
Qin Zhizhi saw Qin Qingyun's thoughtfulness.
I thought that my second brother had finally come to his senses and knew how to feel sorry for the girl.
Gu Yunfei was more shy, so she followed Grandma Qin in learning how to dry sausages.
Mrs. Qin was reluctant to let her work, so when she saw her second grandson teaching Ning Ning, she called Qin Qingyuan over.
"Qingyuan, take Yunfei to the side to hang out to dry, don't get your clothes dirty."
Qin Zhizhi almost laughed out loud. Grandma was such a great help.
Hearing his grandmother calling him, Qin Qingyuan took the princess to the other side to dry sausages.
In fact, Qin Qingyuan wanted to take Gu Yunfei to rest, but seeing that she was in high spirits, he could only accompany her for a while longer.
Fortunately, the sausages were almost dried, and with the help of a few people, they were done in a short while.
Qin Zhizhi cooked personally today and asked Qin Qinghui to go to the Gu family and the princess's mansion to pick up Gu Jinghuai, Gu Jingshu, Gu Jingyao, and Gu Yunlang.
The Qin family was very welcoming, and Mrs. Qin even went to buy vegetables herself.
This was Wang Xinru’s first time visiting the Qin family, so Qin Zhizhi naturally had to cook some dishes she had never eaten before.
As the fragrant dishes were served one after another, Wang Xinru's eyes were full of surprise and anticipation.
As soon as Gu Jinghuai and his companions entered the door, they smelled a rich fragrance.
The fragrance was obviously the work of his wife, and Gu Jinghuai quickened his pace.
Several children also rushed in.
Everyone sat around the table, the atmosphere was lively and warm.
Qin Zhizhi sat next to Wang Xinru and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for her. "Try this and see if you like it."
Wang Xinru took a bite, and the sweet and sour taste melted in her mouth instantly. She couldn't help but nod and praise: "It's really delicious!"
"Try this sausage too, it's really delicious." Qin Zhizhi picked up another piece of sausage for Wang Xinru.
Wang Xinru couldn't wait to take a bite. It was very fragrant and she liked it very much.
Ning Ning recommended the braised prawns to her cousin. "These prawns are so flavorful, even the shells are so fragrant you want to nibble them off! Come and try it, cousin."
Everyone was talking at once, and the dishes on the table were quickly cleared out.
Qin Zhizhi felt a sense of accomplishment as she watched everyone enjoying their meal.
Wang Xinru was still savoring the taste of each dish until she put down her chopsticks.
Over the years, she has traveled all over the country with her father and eaten a lot of delicious food, but the dishes cooked by Qin Zhizhi amazed her even more.
After dinner, Qin Zhizhi took a few people to her yard. Everyone drank digestive tea and chatted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Wang Xinru's heart was filled with gratitude and satisfaction. She liked the Qin family's sincerity and warmth.
Qin Qinglin also came back for lunch, and Qin Zhizhi talked to him about selling sausages tomorrow.
Qin Qinglin showed great interest in this and expressed his desire to go there to learn sales.
Qin Zhizhi was naturally welcome, she nodded with a smile, and when the others heard about it, they also expressed their desire to go together.
Everyone discussed enthusiastically and finally agreed on a time before going home.
Before leaving, Qin Zhizhi specially brought some sausages back for Ning Ning and Wang Xinru, and told them in detail how to eat them.
The two men took the sausages, their faces full of gratitude, and thanked him repeatedly.
Qin Zhizhi packed some sausages and took them back to Gu's house and the princess's mansion respectively.
The Qin family had just arrived in the capital and didn't have many friends. Except for Zhao Yan, almost everyone the Qin family knew was sent as a gift.
Qin Zhizhi even remembered the Zhao family who helped make the gift boxes.
Thinking of Zhao Yan, Qin Zhizhi asked the eldest princess for her opinion when she went to the princess's mansion to deliver sausages.
"Aunt, I made this with the villagers. I want to give some to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder if it's suitable."
The eldest princess was a little confused when she heard this, and Gu Yunfei explained on behalf of her sister-in-law.
"Mother, my sister-in-law said that there are some rules regarding Cousin Yan's food, and she's worried that these things won't be delivered."
"Don't worry, Zhizhi. I'll be going to the palace tomorrow and I'll bring it to Yan'er for you then."
The eldest princess was very happy that Qin Zhizhi still cared about Zhao Yan. It was obvious that they had a good relationship before, and Qin Zhizhi really treated Zhao Yan as a younger brother.
"Thank you, Auntie. Otherwise, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't eat it, he will blame me for being estranged from him in the future."
Qin Zhizhi felt relieved when she heard that the princess was willing to help take care of the child.
She knew that Zhao Yan was greedy. If he found out that everyone had given gifts except her, he would definitely make a fuss.
Afraid that the imperial chef didn't know how to cook sausage, Qin Zhizhi thoughtfully wrote down several ways of eating it in detail.
After thinking about it, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Zhao Yan, asking the eldest princess to bring it to Zhao Yan in the palace.
The eldest princess was very happy to see that the younger generations had a harmonious relationship.
When Gu Ting returned home that night and ate the sausages sent by Qin Zhizhi, he fell in love with it at first bite.
I told my daughter to leave some for herself.
