Su Jinyan asked Su Yating to help get the copper pot a few months ago. It is a double-flavored pot.
The things from this era are very good, without any adulteration, pure yellow brass, no matter how many times they are used, they will become very shiny with a little wipe.
Su Jinyan poured the bone soup into the pot and put in a piece of beef hot pot base. For the clear soup, she only put in green onions, ginger, garlic, mushrooms and coriander, and then took the charcoal that had just been burned and put it into the copper pot.
"Sister Yanyan, hurry up and bring the good stuff over. Everyone is staring at us."
Chen Bingyuan stared at it eagerly, and had been craving for it the whole afternoon.
Moreover, this afternoon, he went from two stores with his goods and actually sold quite a lot!
At this moment, Su Jinyan was busy cooking, and he was so depressed that he didn't know who to talk to.
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Today we have a lot of mutton, so we can only eat shrimp and seashells. Mutton is sweet and hot, while crab is cold. If you eat these two together, you will have a hard time tonight. It's hot, so we can't keep mutton. Let's eat mutton first today."
"When you leave tonight, I'll bring you some crabs. You can just steam them and eat them tomorrow."
"I don't want to eat mutton today. Cook me some crabs."
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then don't eat the mutton skewers."
Chen Bingyuan was so tangled that Su Yating slapped him on the back of his head, "You're so good, eat crabs tomorrow!"
"Yanyan, don't listen to his nonsense. We'll eat the crabs tomorrow."
She had just looked at it and found that crabs that big were really rare.
Su Jinyan glanced at the frustrated Chen Bingyuan with a smile and nodded, "Okay, then aunt, dad, uncle, aunt, dad, mom, you guys eat first, I'll go make some barbecue for you to drink with."
"Yanyan, this is enough to eat." Zhang Fengxia said.
"Yes, this is enough. If there are more, we won't be able to finish it."
"It's okay, I'll do less."
After leaving the main room, she saw that Chen Meijun had already started grilling lamb skewers. She said something and went into the kitchen, found a basin, and scooped out three scoops of prawns, three scoops of clams, razor clams and oysters.
The palm-sized shrimps jumped around out of the water, very active, so she quickly found a bamboo curtain to cover them.
"Here come the prawns and scallops. If you like spicy food, put them in the spicy ones. This kind of food is only flavorful when it's spicy."
Su Jinyan placed the large basin on the table, opened the bamboo curtain, scooped two colanders into the spicy side, and scooped another colander into the clear soup side.
Su Chengguo and his brother-in-law were both stunned when they saw the lively prawns thrown directly into the pot.
They thought that the seafood Su Jinyan was talking about was the same as during the Chinese New Year, all frozen and dead.
"Yanyan, this thing is still alive? Where did you get it?"
She smiled mysteriously, "I asked someone to buy it and brought it directly from Jinshi. You guys eat while I go check on the barbecue."
"Hey, wait." Uncle Chen Qirong stopped Su Jinyan who was about to go out. When he saw Su Jinyan looking back, he said a little embarrassedly: "Yanyan, is this easy for you to get? Can you buy some for your uncle?"
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Chen Qirong said embarrassedly: "Recently, the higher-ups wanted me to make some moves, but two or three leaders disagreed. My leader loves to eat these, so I thought of sending him some."
I have been waiting for this opportunity for three years. If I miss it, I don’t know how long I have to wait.
Su Jinyan nodded in understanding, "Uncle, how much are you sending? I still have some in the kitchen, about three pounds of shrimp, a dozen crabs, and more than ten pounds of scallops. If it's about the same, you don't have to buy any."
"Then, how can that be possible?"
It was agreed that this was to be shared among everyone, and he didn't have the nerve to give his niece's things as a gift.
Sun, who was sitting on the other side of the table, also looked unhappy.
She just found out the price of this thing today, and she was so heartbroken about having a meal for it tonight, but now she is just giving it away?
Su Jinyan grinned, "Why not? I've been in the countryside for five years, and my aunt has been mailing me things every now and then, allowing me to live a worry-free life in the countryside. Now that I can help my uncle, this little bit of money is worth it."
"Uncle, you can use these first. I'll give them to uncle and aunt in a few days when I get the goods. Then we can try the hairy crabs."
Su Chengguo also laughed cheerfully, "That's right, Qirong, why are you and Yanyan being so polite?"
"Qirong, we are family, it doesn't matter whether we eat it or not. If this little thing can help you get promoted, it's not bad." Zhang Fengxia also said.
Su Chengguo had been upright all his life, and actually couldn't stand people who relied on gifts to get to the top. But he knew in his heart that since ancient times, scholars and military men had been different, and scholars liked to be cunning, give gifts, and make a show of themselves.
"Okay, uncle, don't be polite. I'll pack it for you when you leave later. I'll go grill now."
The barbecue was handled by Su Jinyan and Chen Meijun.
Although Su Jinyan's cooking skills are not as good as Chen Meijun's, nor does she have Chen Meijun's patience, she has eaten and seen a lot in her previous life, so she gave instructions and Chen Meijun took the lead. The two of them ate the skewers while cooking and enjoyed it very much.
Almost I ate half and sent half into the house.
Grilled lamb skewers, grilled garlic oyster vermicelli, grilled prawns, grilled garlic scallions, grilled hot peppers, grilled leeks, and grilled steamed bread slices.
Spread the steamed bread slices with garlic chili sauce, and take a bite of it, it's so delicious that it's enough to bite off your tongue.
The two of them were already full before they even entered the house to eat hotpot.
The two were enjoying their meal when the brothers Chen Bingyuan and Chen Bingqi ran out.
Chen Bingyuan dragged a chair and sat down next to Su Jinyan. He lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Su Jinyan, I sold thirty shrimps and eight crabs this afternoon. How is it? When can I get the goods?"
