Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine
Chapter 15 Stay in the Inn and Eat Spicy Hotpot
The top-class guest rooms in this inn are quite big, but the bed is very hard. It is just a wooden board with several layers of cloth spread on it.
It seems that cotton was not yet popular in this dynasty and only the nobles could afford it.
Xie Ling took out the down quilt and Simmons mattress from her room in the old house.
There were two spare quilts in the closet, so Xie Ling took them out and spread them on another small bed and the couch next to it.
Gu Li and Gu Wei slept on the same bed, Qiuyue slept on the soft couch, and Song, Pei, Xie Ling and Ru Jie'er squeezed on the big bed.
After making the bed, Ru Jieer climbed on it without taking off her clothes and buried herself in the soft quilt.
When Pei saw this, she hurried forward and took off her prison uniform, leaving only the down vest that Xie Ling had given her.
When the Gu family saw Xie Ling conjure up a quilt out of thin air, they all looked at him and pretended not to see it.
Since Xie Ling didn't want to say anything, they naturally didn't ask.
After a while, the waiter came with hot water.
Xie Ling pulled a screen to block the way and went to take a shower.
The mist was rising, Xie Ling closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the space.
It is always a warm spring day in this space, neither too cold nor too hot. Peach blossoms flutter and fall beside the spiritual spring, which is very beautiful.
Xie Ling bought so many things for free, but she hasn't sorted them out yet and they are all piled up in the yard.
The food and vegetables collected from the imperial kitchen were all still in the same state as when they first entered the space, without any sign of deterioration.
She tried to control it with her consciousness and found that it was feasible. She finished it in less than five minutes.
While sorting out clothes, Xie Ling found a few simpler sets of clothes and planned to give them to the Gu family.
After everything was done, Xie Ling stared at the hazy white fog outside the courtyard in a daze.
I don’t know when my hills will appear.
After all, the supplies in the old house were limited, and the goods and weapons that Xie Ling had stockpiled were all on the mountain.
After coming out of the space, Xie Ling changed into a red top and blue bottom dress. Her long hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin, making her look elegant and graceful.
Pei and the others were either sitting or standing, not daring to get on the bed, for fear that their prison uniforms would soil Xie Ling's bedding.
It was not yet dark, so Xie Ling handed the clothes to Pei and went out, intending to borrow the kitchen from the store owner.
The waiter was just at the door, and Xie Ling called him, "Can you change the hot water for us? By the way, can I borrow your kitchen?"
"Sure, the kitchen is in the backyard, I'll take you there." The waiter's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the woman would be so beautiful after taking off her prison uniform. He enthusiastically led her the way.
Who doesn’t love beauty?
In the kitchen, the chefs were busy preparing food. Smoke rose up, white mist filled the air, and the aroma of food filled the air.
The waiter pointed to the empty stove and said, "There's no one there. You can go there, but you have to pay the chef for the ingredients."
Xie Ling nodded and smiled at the waiter, "Thank you."
When the waiter saw the beautiful woman's smile, he was so bewitched that he walked away foolishly.
Xie Ling looked around and took a look at the ingredients, which included eggs, cabbage, pork and mutton.
There are only a few seasonings, including salt and dogwood.
There was no chili pepper in this dynasty, and the cooking methods were also very simple. There was no stir-frying, only steaming, boiling and stewing.
Xie Ling plans to make a simple version of hot pot.
After looking around, I found that there was no pot suitable for hot pot!
The pots of this dynasty were made of aluminum. Due to the backward iron smelting technology, they were very heavy, and the walls of the pots were particularly thick, making them impossible to lift.
After thinking about it, there seemed to be an alcohol lamp in the old house, so I might as well prepare the base, process the ingredients, and bring them back to the room to eat in a porcelain bowl.
Fortunately, this stove is not eye-catching. Xie Ling quietly took out hot pot base, pepper, MSG and other seasonings from the space.
First make the spicy hot pot base, pour in oil, add onions, garlic, coriander and chili, stir-fry until fragrant, then add bay leaves, cinnamon and star anise. Finally, pour in the hot pot base and stir-fry over low heat until melted.
A layered spicy smell instantly filled the entire kitchen, which was very tempting, making people salivate and subconsciously start swallowing saliva.
The chefs in the kitchen began to look for the source of the smell and gathered around Xie Ling.
Xie Ling was packing the base ingredients. When she looked up, she was shocked to find so many people standing around her.
A chef asked, "Girl, what is this red thing of yours? Why does it smell so good?"
"This is called chili pepper. My family is doing business and brought it from the Western Regions."
The chef rubbed his hands and said, "Little girl, can you sell me some? I will pay a high price for it."
Xie Ling shook her head. "This thing is rare. My family only has a little bit. I definitely can't sell it. If you like it, ask the caravan going to the Western Regions in the future."
All the chefs around shook their heads regretfully, looked at Xie Ling's hot pot base reluctantly, and then went back to their respective places.
Xie Ling washed the pot and started to make the clear soup base.
The steps are the same, but instead of adding chili peppers, add clear soup hot pot base.
The taste of the food cooked in clear soup base is much more satisfactory.
Xie Ling could actually make her own hotpot base, which is even more delicious than the hotpot base. However, it was late now, and after eating she planned to go to Xifeng Tower to join in the fun.
After preparing two sets of hot pot bases, Xie Ling began to process the ingredients, washing the vegetables and marinating the meat.
She was nimble and quick, and when she returned to the room, the hotpot base was still warm.
As soon as I entered the room, Gu Li ran over and said, "Second sister-in-law, you went to the kitchen, why didn't you ask me to help you?"
Everyone in the room couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the spicy aroma of the hot pot base.
Xie Ling replied: "Let you take a good bath."
The whole family had now changed out of their prison uniforms and looked brand new.
Xie Ling took out the alcohol lamp and the double-flavored cooking pot from the space, and then rummaged through the drawers to find an iron rack for support.
In the end times, you can make a fire anywhere. Xie Ling had a lot of tools for cooking outdoors, and she didn't expect that they would come in handy after traveling through time.
You can continue cooking when you are exiled later.
Pei looked at the raw vegetables and meat in Xie Ling's basket and wondered, "Ling'er, do you want to cook now? I'll help you. I'm a decent cook at home."
When Gu Li heard Pei say that her cooking skills were okay, he immediately jumped up, "Second sister-in-law! Don't believe mother. Last time, my brother and I ate the porridge that mother cooked, and we had diarrhea for three days!"
Even the usually dazed Song showed some expression, "Mother-in-law's cooking is indeed..."
Pei blushed, "That's not true, it's just that you two brothers have poor stomachs."
Xie Ling laughed, "Let me do it, you don't know how to make hot pot."
Turn on the fire, put the two different pot bottoms in the double-flavored pot, add spiritual spring water, and after a while, bubbles will start to gurgle in the pot.
The tip of the nose is filled with the spicy and fresh aroma, which makes people feel itchy and the root of the tongue keeps secreting saliva.
Xie Ling took out the uneaten beef meatballs from the refrigerator and put the ham sausage into the pot first.
Then add the marinated lamb and pork belly. The red oil that was originally bubbling no longer becomes agitated and becomes calm and silent.
After a minute or two, the red oil began to bubble up again, and the ingredients were dyed red and rolled in the soup. The rich spicy aroma filled the entire room.
Xie Ling looked at the people who were frantically swallowing their saliva and said with a smile, "Let's eat! I haven't finished cooking yet, so you can eat whatever you want. As for the tripe, just rinse it in the pot for a while and you can eat it. If you leave it for too long, it will get old."
Everyone picked up a piece of vegetable from the pot as if it were a treasure and quickly put it into their mouths.
Fragrant, so fragrant!
The mutton is sliced thinly, without any smell, and is fresh, fragrant, tender and so delicious that your tongue will fall off.
The beef balls have a unique taste, and there is a layer of sauce inside when you bite them.
The tripe is particularly chewy, smooth and refreshing.
Not to mention the soft cabbage and potatoes, which were soaked in spicy soup. When you take a bite, the spicy juice will come out, sweeping across your entire mouth, burning from the tip of your tongue to your throat. The spicy taste rushes straight to your scalp, and you can't wait to eat another piece of vegetable.
Everyone’s noses were red and their eyes were moist from eating the food, and the spicy aroma filled the entire room.
Even Song, who had a poor appetite after becoming pregnant, ate three bowls of rice.
Ru Jieer can't eat spicy food, so she could only eat clear soup with rice and watch helplessly.
The worst one was Gu Wei.
The spicy taste seemed to have a hook, drilling straight into his heart and stomach, and his mouth kept secreting saliva.
If I didn’t have such great self-control, I would have jumped out of bed and joined them in eating hotpot.
But Baishui Town is a complicated place, and there might be the prince's spies near the guest rooms, so he dare not take it lightly.
What puzzled him even more was why people from Mingyue Island came to Beijiang Kingdom. Could they be coming for him?
After thinking about it, Gu Wei eliminated this idea. His identity should not be exposed.
It’s just that the people of Mingyue Island are so arrogant, it’s really strange that they suddenly come to a small town in Beijiang Kingdom.
Just as I was thinking about it, a familiar sound of insects chirping outside the guest room was heard in a very regular pattern.
Gu Wei suddenly looked at the sky outside the window, and a green figure flashed by!
While the Gu family was eating hot pot, Gu Wei tore off a corner of the bed sheet, bit his fingertips until they bled, drew a strange pattern on the cloth, and then used force with one finger to throw the cloth out of the windowsill.
