Since he was treating guests, Jia Dongsheng certainly couldn't just make a simple dish of pigeon stewed with hazelnuts and chestnuts. This dish was considered the main course for today.
Add hazelnuts and chestnuts, a little codonopsis and ginseng, and some wolfberries, red dates and other ingredients to make a pot of healthy and nourishing food.
Now, in addition to the three family members Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and Jia Zhang, there are four other women, He Yushui, Han Chunyan, Yu Haitang and Lou Xiaoe, making a total of seven people, including the two younger ones, Banggeng and Xiaodang.
In addition to this main dish, Jia Dongsheng prepared four side dishes, making five dishes in total, enough for them to eat.
As for what to do...
While dealing with the pigeons, Jia Dongsheng started thinking. Since women were sitting at a table and he was going to make some ladies' dishes, dessert would be a good choice.
Suddenly, Jia Dongsheng's eyes lit up. He thought of two dessert dishes suitable for women, and he now had the ingredients to make them himself.
Jia Zhang just bought so many sweet potatoes and made a dish of candied sweet potatoes, which is definitely a dessert dish that many ladies like.
Then make a dish of baked pumpkin with egg yolk, which is also a very delicious dessert.
So there are two dessert dishes, and the other two must be more refreshing.
Otherwise, if you eat both meat dishes and dessert dishes, you will get sick of them easily.
Thinking that there was black fungus among the dried goods he just bought, Jia Dongsheng prepared a dish of cold black fungus salad, which is very good for beautifying the skin and relieving greasiness.
As for the last dish, Jia Dongsheng thought about it and realized that the ingredients at home were not sufficient, which made him feel like a good cook cannot cook without rice.
There's no way around it. This is the way things are in this era. Even if you have money, it's hard to buy what you want.
Finally, Jia Dongsheng came up with a dish that didn't require any very good ingredients, or in other words, it could be made with just a cucumber.
That’s right, thinking that there would be a table of women waiting outside, Jia Dongsheng planned to give each of them a cucumber.
Of course, this cucumber must be processed, otherwise it would be a bit evil to eat it dry, right?
Jia Dongsheng smiled slightly and said, "For the last dish, let's make the mulberry cucumber."
Shredded cucumber is a dish that chefs must learn to make if they want to learn knife skills. It is difficult to make but also simple to make.
After cutting a whole cucumber, when you pull it apart, it becomes a latte art, and when you fold it together, it becomes a whole cucumber. If you don't pull it apart and you can't tell that the cucumber has been cut, it is considered perfect.
After cutting the shredded cucumber, soak it in cold dressing and let it sit for ten minutes until it absorbs the flavor and then you can eat it.
A very good and refreshing dish.
With the decision made, it became much easier for Jia Dongsheng to take action.
After picking the chestnuts, hazelnuts and pigeons, put them into the pot one by one, then cut the sweet potatoes, soak the fungus, and make the straw raincoat cucumbers. The whole process can be said to be smooth and flowing.
Of course, in addition to this, Jia Dongsheng also processed the quails he bought.
The sparrows were still alive, so there was no rush to eat them. But the dead quails had to be destroyed tonight.
Since they were going to drink soon, Jia Dongsheng prepared a small barbecued dish, charcoal-grilled quail.
Fortunately, the charcoal at home had not been used up yet, and Jia Dongsheng was busy for a while and an hour and a half passed.
The aroma of pigeon stewed with hazelnuts and chestnuts in the pot has drifted into the living room through the crack in the kitchen door.
"Hey, what did my brother-in-law make? It smells so good."
The person who spoke was Yu Haitang. As for why she called him brother-in-law, it was because she had just said a few nice words to Qin Jingru, and then the two of them started calling each other sister.
Goodness, Yu Li was not there when Qin Jingru called her sister, otherwise she would know that Yu Haitang was closer to her than calling her sister.
So, Jia Dongsheng is no longer her new brother-in-law, but her real brother-in-law.
It’s just that my sister has changed.
However, she had another thought in her mind.
That is to make Jia Dongsheng not a brother-in-law, but a husband.
It was just because she felt that Qin Jingru was a little silly and could not compare to her at all, and her elder sister Yu Li was not only married, but also could not compare to her in appearance.
In this way, if I could get my brother-in-law to be my husband, wouldn’t that be... quite exciting just thinking about it.
For example, now, she is trying to take the opportunity to find a chance to be alone with Jia Dongsheng.
"It smells pretty good."
Lou Xiao'e nodded and said with a smile, "I guess it's the pigeon stewed with hazelnuts and chestnuts that Dongsheng mentioned. It smells so good that I'm drooling."
"Right, Sister Xiao'e, it smells so good. I want to go see how my brother-in-law makes it. Why does it smell so good?"
Having said that, without waiting for anyone else to react, Yu Haitang skipped and ran towards the kitchen.
Jia Dongsheng was chopping cucumbers when the kitchen door suddenly opened. Yu Haitang walked in with a smile and said directly, "Brother-in-law, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good."
"Haitang, why did you come in?"
Although he was talking to Yu Haitang, Jia Dongsheng did not stop his hands and was still cutting the three cucumbers.
"Hey, brother-in-law, what kind of dish are you making?"
Yu Haitang walked over curiously, looking at the cucumbers on the chopping board with curious eyes, and at the same time using her little nose to sniff the fragrance in the kitchen.
It smelled so good. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
"Haha, I'm making cucumber slices. Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."
As he spoke, the knife in his hand fell faster. At the same time, Jia Dongsheng thought of a question and looked at Yu Haitang: "Haitang, why did you call me brother-in-law?"
"I remember the last time we met, didn't you call me your new brother-in-law?"
