Just as they were happily enjoying the barbecue, a breeze blew and Tang Yaoyao suddenly sniffed her nose.
"What's that smell? It smells so good, can you smell it?"
Tang Yaoyao held the skewer and turned her little head left and right, looking for the source of the fragrance.
It was a mellow and fragrant aroma of sauce, a scent she had never smelled before.
"You mean the soybean paste, right? Those two jars over there."
Zhou Ziwen pointed to the corner of the yard.
There were two large jars there.
By the way, he made this paste at the beginning of the new year. Calculating the time, it can be eaten now.
In the past few days, the aroma of fermented soybean paste has begun to emerge, and Zhou Ziwen is preparing to find time to taste it!
"Why does soybean paste smell so good?"
Tang Yaoyao asked with some disbelief.
"Haha, don't you even look at who did it?"
Zhou Ziwen proudly picked up the wine glass and took a small sip.
"Brother Ziwen, is the soybean paste you made edible? Can you make some out for me to taste?"
Tang Yaoyao's eyes rolled. If Chen Qiaoyi wasn't in between, she might have gone over to him and hugged his arm to act coquettishly.
"Try it. It just so happens that I haven't tasted it either. Go to the house and get a spoon. I'll open it and let everyone taste it."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Doenjang is a good thing. In Heijiang, if you don’t order doenjang with your meals every day, you will lose your appetite.
Zhou Ziwen has been here for almost a year and has accepted the local customs. He also likes to dip his meals in soybean paste.
Look, although we are having barbecue today, there are other dishes as well, and there is also soybean paste on the table.
"Okay, I'll get it!"
Tang Yaoyao cheered and jumped to the kitchen, and soon came out with a spoon and a bowl.
Tang Yaoyao had eaten many meals at his house and was very familiar with everyone's kitchen utensils.
By the time she took out the spoon and bowl, Zhou Ziwen had already come to the jar of soy sauce and opened the lid.
As soon as the seal was opened, a rich fragrance came out.
Anyone who smelled this fragrance would feel their head go blank and their whole body would be intoxicated by the aroma.
“It smells so good.”
It took a long time for Tang Yaoyao to react, and her eyes became sparkling.
"Brother Ziwen, quickly fish some out. I want to taste how delicious it is."
Tang Yaoyao hugged Zhou Ziwen's arm and shook it continuously.
But this girl only has two little lights. Although she is young and beautiful, she still lacks something.
However, Zhou Ziwen quite enjoyed being hugged by such a young and beautiful girl.
He even thought that small ones were cute too.
"Okay, move the bowl over here."
Zhou Ziwen took a spoon and stirred the soybean paste, and slowly scooped up a large spoonful of soybean paste.
At this point, the soybean paste has been fully fermented and looks delicious.
Especially the aroma of soybean paste, which makes your mouth water.
"Hey, here comes Dai-chan."
Tang Yaoyao carried the bowl and walked to the table in small steps.
Zhou Ziwen was resealing the jar of soybean paste in the back.
He had made two jars of soybean paste before, but now he has only opened one. As for the other one, he plans to put it aside and eat it later.
When Zhou Ziwen put the jar of sauce away and returned to the table, everyone was waiting for him eagerly.
This is the first jar of soybean paste made by Zhou Ziwen, so he has to taste it first.
Even though everyone was a little impatient, they still waited for Zhou Ziwen to come back before eating.
"Eat, why should we be polite?" Zhou Ziwen glanced at them, but also reached out his hand, took a piece of lettuce, dipped it in some soybean paste, picked up two cucumbers and green onions, and finally got two pieces of barbecued meat.
Then wrap everything up and take a big bite.
The various flavors mixed with the aroma of soybean paste are a true enjoyment for the soul.
"Mm, it tastes pretty good."
Zhou Ziwen gave a pertinent evaluation.
However, in his opinion, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this soybean paste.
When he was making soybean paste before, his cooking skills were not as good as they are now.
But for ordinary people, this is already a unique delicacy.
Look at the expressions of Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.
"Delicious, delicious! I feel like I can eat three bowls of rice with this soybean paste."
"It's so delicious, how can there be something so delicious?"
"Brother Ziwen, you are amazing. After eating the soybean paste you made, I feel like I won't be able to eat again in the future."
"Yes, Brother Zhou, it's all because the soybean paste you made was so delicious. No, you have to compensate us."
"I don't want anything else, just a bowl of soybean paste."
Chen Zhaodi, Zhou Chaoyang, and Tang Yaoyao chatted with each other, their calculations clacking loudly.
"Haha, you're dreaming. Is soybean paste that easy to make? I worked so hard for several months to make it."
Zhou Ziwen glanced at them indifferently.
"I'll pay more."
Zhou Chaoyang was the first to raise his hand.
Friends are friends, brothers are brothers, but even brothers have to settle accounts clearly!
"Well, the boy is teachable."
Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.
It doesn’t really matter whether you spend money or not, it’s just that soybean paste is a consumable item, and the taste of the paste he makes makes you want to eat it a second time after having it once.
It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but looking at the expressions on Zhou Chaoyang and Tang Yaoyao's faces, they seem to want to use his soybean paste as a long-term product!
Faced with this situation, he couldn't just give it away for free.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, just show your appreciation and don’t eat for free.
"Hey, thank you, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Chaoyang hurriedly thanked him.
He looked so happy, as if he had picked up a great bargain.
But the fact is that the master-level soybean paste craftsmanship is something that ordinary people cannot buy even if they pay money.
Zhou Ziwen was willing to share some with them because they had a good relationship.
It was a barbecue and the group of people ate for a full two hours.
By the time they finished eating, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone present was full, except Zhou Ziwen.
Although Zhou Ziwen doesn't look fat, he has a well-proportioned figure and a unique beauty.
But he also has a strong digestive ability and his body needs more nutrition.
In order to ensure the body's nutrition, he also made nutritional powder specifically for supplementing the body's nutrition.
After resting for a long time, Shen Zhaodi and the others got up from their stools and followed Chen Shiying to clean the table.
Looking at the sky outside, the sun was shining brightly. Zhou Ziwen didn't plan to go out, so he just lay on the recliner and basked in the sun in the yard.
Zhou Chaoyang followed suit and lay on another recliner, chatting with Zhou Ziwen on his left and right.
As we were chatting, I started to feel sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
When Zhou Ziwen woke up from his sleep, it was already past four in the afternoon.
When I returned to the room, I saw several girls chatting loudly on the kang.
In front of them, there was a plate of snacks such as pine nuts and chestnuts.
They were eating snacks and chatting, and it was very lively. (End of this chapter)
