Chapter 128 New Ingredients
As soon as she saw the pepper, Lin Baoer's mind first popped up various Sichuan and Chongqing spicy dishes, Maoxuewang, spicy chicken, Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork...
and hot pot!
Lin Baoer's saliva almost came out just thinking about it.
She was a little eager to try.
It seems that these dishes... can all be tried?
After all, these ingredients seem to exist in this world. Maybe I can find an opportunity to have someone make them and try them to see how they taste.
However, the most convenient and fastest way to eat it is definitely hot pot!
Lin Baoer was a little excited.
[Use the previous pork belly and chicken soup as the pot base! It’s a pity that there is no hot pot base, and I don’t know if it will taste good with just chili peppers...】
【But I just heard from my third brother that there are also condiments such as peppercorns, ginger vinegar sauce, etc., so adding them should be fine, right? 】
【How do you make hot pot base? It seems that there is no such thing as MSG or chicken powder in this world? Are there bay leaves and star anise? 】
【When I think about it... it seems quite difficult...】
The more Lin Baoer thought about it, the more
depressed she felt, and she felt disappointed. After all, she hasn’t eaten modern things for a long time. Although the things here are quite to her taste, sometimes she often misses the tastes that she can’t eat.
For example, spicy hot pot.
Lin Baoer licked her lips, feeling quite lost.
Lin Ruqian glanced at her, was stunned, and remembered what she said in her heart.
"Mr. Sun, why didn't Sister Xier come?" Chu looked at Sun Zice in surprise and asked.
The Sun family's affairs were known to everyone in the whole city of Yanjing. As a close friend of Wei Zhixu, she naturally knew about Sun Xier's abduction, but she was busy at the time and had no time to care.
Later, after hearing Wei Zhixu's unacceptable remarks, she was shocked and couldn't help but sigh that her sister Wei really dared to do anything for Sun Zice.
After all, if she was discovered, it would be a big deal!
As a result, so many people acted as if nothing had happened, while she was worried all day long, afraid that the truth would be revealed.
Fortunately, the result was good.
"I was surprised before and was recuperating in the mansion, so I didn't let her come." Sun Zice replied, paused, looked at Wei Zhixu again, and then lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened.
When Lin Zhiyu told him this method, he almost thought he was crazy, but then he thought that if he didn't risk his life, maybe the Sun family would never escape this disaster, so he agreed, agreed on behalf of his father. Afterwards, he
was naturally punished by his father according to the family rules at home, but he didn't regret it.
It was just that when he was recuperating, he thought about it carefully and realized that something was wrong.
Lin Zhiyu has been with him for many years, and he knows his character best. He is intelligent, but he is also filial. He cares about the family's success and failure, so he might accept this proposal, but it would never be him who proposed it.
Lin Mobai is the silent type, who is only interested in military tactics, military books, and various weapons. He has excellent martial arts since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about these.
Lin Ruqian is quite possible. He has a lively personality and wild ideas, but because he is still young, he will never put forward ideas in advance.
After all, according to the tone of Lin Zhiyu's words at the time, it seemed that everything after burning the family tree had been arranged properly, and as long as he agreed, he could immediately send someone to execute it.
If the Lin family came up with this idea, they would have asked for his opinion first, and even worse, they would have discussed the next steps with him, rather than directly giving him a perfect method that seemed to have already taken all aspects into consideration.
And he didn't consider the quirky little girl Lin Baoer at all. What could a two-year-old child know?
The more he thought about it, the stronger the idea in his mind became. In the end, he simply sent people to check the Lin Mansion.
It was easy to find out who had entered and left the Lin Mansion, and since Lord Wei was also part of their plan, Sun Zice almost instantly understood who was helping him.
But since that person kept it a secret from everyone, he must not want him to know. In this case, Sun Zice could only pretend not to know.
"You've been frightened, you really need to take care of yourself." Chu Jingchen glanced at Wei Zhixu and sighed.
Here, Lin Baoer and the other two were still thinking about how to use this pepper, when they saw the servant outside knocking on the door respectfully and whispering, "Third Master, the shopkeeper sent me to ask, today Shenghuai Restaurant has some new things, ask if you want to keep some?"
"What things?" Lin Baoer was curious.
The servant replied: "Someone sent a few boxes of frogs not long ago, saying that these things are really rampant in the fields recently, so they thought of catching them and selling them. The shopkeeper saw that this was also a novelty, so he kept it."
Frogs? !
Isn't that her favorite frog? !
Without waiting for Lin Ruqian to refuse, Lin Baoer immediately said, "Yes!"
The voice sounded particularly excited.
Lin Ruqian and Ying Jinyi looked at her in confusion.
"Fourth sister, that frog looks so disgusting, how can you eat it?" When Ying Jinyi thought of the appearance of the frog, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
In their place, unless they are those gourmets who eat everything, few people eat things like frogs and rabbit heads. Most people choose chicken, duck, fish, beef and mutton.
Lin Ruqian thought so too, and hesitated, "Baoer, the taste of the frog, maybe you can't accept it..."
What can a frog taste like?
But after he said that, Lin Baoer still understood.
After all, Yanjing City is located in the north, and most of the food eaten here is not spicy, but mainly sour and salty, like frogs. If there is no chili, Lin Baoer may not like to eat it, and the people here are even more so.
Maybe they have tried it before and felt that it was not to their taste, so they removed it from the menu.
Especially the most important factor is that it looks ugly.
Even in modern times, there are people who don't eat a frog because of its appearance, and many people have been persuaded to leave.
Maybe it's the same here, Ying Jinyi is a good example.
But it's a rare opportunity, and Lin Baoer still doesn't want to miss it.
[As long as there is chili, everything is not a problem! ]
[In addition to hot pot frogs, frogs can also be cut into small pieces and fried, or coated with some starch and fried. ]
[But was there starch in ancient times? ]
[It seems that there are many processes for making starch, so forget it... Although flour should be OK, but I always feel that the taste will be worse. ]
Lin Baoer abandoned the last idea and looked at Lin Ruqian with burning eyes, "Third brother, it's okay, I want to try it."
"But... I want to try it with this." She pointed to the chili.
Hearing these delicious things she said, Lin Ruqian's greed was also aroused, "Then I'll give the order later."
