Chapter 251: Hot Pot Skewers (2)
Swish, swish.
Gurgle gurgle.
The bustling little house suddenly became quiet.
The sisters-in-law all looked at the big vat, and one could even hear the sound of them swallowing saliva.
This is... too rich.
A sister-in-law who came from the north said with half surprise and half confusion.
"Sister Ning, this... is this considered hot pot? But our hot pot in the north is
I don’t have these bamboo sticks, they are only used when grilling skewers. ”
Jiang Ning explained on the side.
"This can be considered a hot pot, or more accurately, a casserole."
"This pot is made with red oil. In the base of the soup, we added a lot of peppercorns, dried chilies, and bay leaves. These are all things that can make you sweat. Eating them in winter is the best way to warm your body."
"In the kitchen, there is another pot of white soup. It is made from pork bones. I added some wolfberries and red dates, which can also replenish qi and promote blood circulation. If my sister-in-law can't eat spicy food, she can have the white soup."
A sister-in-law asked.
"Since there are both red soup and white soup, isn't this a dango hotpot? Why are you calling it a jar... a jar is a skewer."
This question has to do with how we eat it today.
And why Jiang Ning asked his sisters-in-law to bring their teacups to eat.
Jiang Ning continued.
"If you want to eat hot pot, you need a copper hot pot that can heat up with charcoal, but we don't have that here. But tea mugs are different. Tea mugs are made of iron and can be heated directly on the stove."
When speaking.
Wang Chunxia had already brought out another serving of skewers with bone soup base from the small kitchen.
Aside from the soup base, the ingredients are the same.
Full to the brim, so rich it almost overflows.
"Let me do it. Sister Ning has already taught me. Today I will teach you how to eat it."
It was rare for Wang Chunxia to take the initiative to make arrangements.
The sisters-in-law looked at her excitement, laughing and teasing her.
"Oh my, is this still Wang Chunxia? The sun really rises from the west."
"Chunxia, please speak quickly. We will listen carefully."
"Hahaha, just say it boldly. Even if you are wrong, we will definitely not destroy you."
A group of people were laughing happily, and Wang Chunxia's face was red.
But under Jiang Ning's encouraging gaze, he still did it in an orderly manner.
"I can handle spicy food, so I ordered the red soup hotpot."
As Wang Chunxia spoke, she took out her big teacup.
Then pick up the spoon and scoop the red soup into the teacup.
"You guys have to be careful, don't be greedy and fill it too full, just fill it half full, because we need to add skewers inside."
"Then we add skewers, potatoes, and radishes to the teacup. They are cooked the longest and are the most delicious. The others are also delicious."
"Now that it's almost full, you can serve it."
"As for why you asked for a big teacup, it's for this--"
Wang Chunxia put her teacup on the coal stove and said as she demonstrated.
"Food gets cold quickly these days. If you feel it's too cold, just heat it up on the stove and it will be hot again. Isn't it simple and convenient?"
The sisters-in-law gathered in a circle and watched Wang Chunxia's actions, their eyes wide open with curiosity.
"Really... Isn't this just a small hot pot..."
"When I was in my hometown, I used a teacup to heat up steamed buns. I never thought that I could eat them this way..."
"And this skewer, it's more convenient to pick it up and eat it than using chopsticks..."
"Sister Ning, how did you come up with this idea?"
The eyes of the group of people were all focused on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning shook his head, not daring to say that she had come up with it herself.
"The locals here eat bamboo tube rice, which is made with bamboo tubes, just like our big teacups. It's not something I came up with, I just learned from it. The most important thing is that the sisters-in-law like to eat it. Don't be polite, eat whatever you want, there are still many skewers in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'm really not welcome then!"
"Why, do you still want to eat Sister Ning out of money in one go?"
"Hahahaha, Captain Qin gets so much allowance every month, can I go bankrupt by myself?"
"Stop talking, I'm going to eat first. I want the red soup. In winter, spicy food is the best."
"I want to eat the one with chili, too! Hurry up, when you're done, it will be my turn."
The sisters-in-law huddled together noisily, bickering with each other as they gathered around the coal stove.
The chill of winter.
It seemed as if all of them were completely dispelled at this moment.
Whether it is the red oil soup base or the white soup with pork bones, Jiangning’s seasoning is excellent.
The soup base is good and the other ingredients are fresh, so no matter how you cook it, it will taste good.
"Sister Ning, is it easy to make this soup base? I just need to cut the vegetables and string them together with bamboo sticks. It's much easier than making one dish after another. I want to learn it."
"That makes sense. Just wash the ingredients, cut them, put them together, and cook them. Not only is it simple, but it tastes great too!"
"Woo woo woo, have a sip of the soup, this soup base is so delicious, almost like a traditional stew."
Jiang Ning also held a large teacup in his hand.
Her eyes were fixed on the red chili oil, but the teacup contained white soup, with the only red spots coming from one or two wolfberries.
As long as she is greedy and wants to sneak a bite or two of spicy food.
Wang Chunxia on the side would speak seriously.
"Sister Ning, you can't eat spicy food now. It's not good for the baby. In a few months, you will start to produce milk, and it will affect the quality of your milk."
As expected of Wang Chunxia, who always speaks directly, what milk, and milk secretion...
Jiang Ning felt embarrassed to listen to her words, as she spoke in a very serious manner.
She is like a child under the watchful eyes of a teacher and cannot be greedy.
Jiang Ning could only smell the fragrance of peppercorns in the air to satisfy his craving a little.
Patting her round belly, she said helplessly.
"It's all because of you two little brats. I, your mother, can't even eat spicy food anymore."
It’s very lively.
Suddenly a soft sobbing sound was heard.
One sister-in-law was eating when she suddenly started crying with red eyes. People around her hurriedly asked her what happened.
Was he really crying, or was his tongue burned by the spiciness?
The sister-in-law sniffed and sobbed.
"We have a lot of brothers and sisters in our family. There are six of us in my family alone. Every time during the New Year or other festivals, the whole family sits together to eat. Two tables are not enough, so I can only stand by with my bowl in hand to eat. Everyone is squeezing here and there, it's so lively. But since I came here, I haven't been home for two years... wooooooo!"
