In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 163 Spicy Hotpot

Gu Lixia first took a spoon and filled the children's bowls with soup.

Then it was me and Jiang Wen’s turn. We didn’t even add chopped green onions, it was so fresh.

The skeleton and the remaining bones from making fish balls in the morning were dumped in the yard.

Wait until the steamed carp is finished.

Go out and get a hammer and smash it.

Feed the geese.

After finishing the soup, serve the rice and fish.

Serve the three little ones first.

Jiang Xiu can already eat by herself.

Then he picked up the fish head for Jiang Huainan and Jiang Wen.

Gu Lixia just started eating.

I feel like my cooking skills have improved.

The texture is soft, glutinous and tender, and the fish meat seems to be dancing in your mouth, which is intoxicating.

After dinner, the rain stopped. Jiang Wen cleaned up and Gu Lixia went out with a hammer to smash the fish skeleton.

Mixed with cornmeal, it was fed to the goslings.

The water in the hot water bottle on top of the gate was still warm.

The three children took turns washing up.

After washing, Jiang Xiu said that the water had started to get colder and was no longer hot.

Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia didn't pretend.

Lock the door, go into the house, close the door, and enter the space.

Gu Lixia felt that she had not eaten enough.

Spicy hotpot, rich in ingredients, spicy and fresh.

If you want to make spicy hot pot, you need to go to the lotus pond to dig lotus roots and catch crayfish.

Catching crayfish is easy, just cast a net and collect them.

The big ones were kept for eating, and the small ones were thrown back into the lotus pond.

Digging lotus roots is quite troublesome.

Lotus root is also called seven-hole vegetable. It is cold in nature when raw and warm in nature when cooked. It has extremely high nutritional and medicinal value. It is an excellent tonic for people with weak constitutions and a moisturizing food suitable for all ages.

Jiang Wen, wearing protective clothing and protective shoes, held a high-pressure water gun and sprayed water into the pond, carefully pulling out a lotus root wrapped in mud from the paddy field.

The lotus roots were buried deep in the mud, and Jiang Wen almost had to bend over and put his hands into the mud to grope.

Clean it and transport it to the shore.

Back to the kitchen.

The two people first prepared the ingredients: prawns, lotus roots, cauliflower, dried tofu, black fungus, ham sausage, baby cabbage, enoki mushrooms, bean curd sheets, tempura, beef balls, and tofu.

Prepare the spicy hot pot base, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander and scallion segments.

Jiang Wen cut off the shrimp's whiskers, picked out the shrimp thread, and opened its back.

After Gu Lixia cut the vegetables, she blanched them one by one and then picked them up for later use.

Gu Lixia gave the command and Jiang Wen took action immediately.

Jiang Wen warmed the oil in a wok, added the chopped onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fried until fragrant, then added the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fried until fragrant, then added a piece of hot pot base and stir-fried until the red oil and spicy aroma came out.

Pour in the processed prawns, sausages and other meats, and add an appropriate amount of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.

Stir-fry the blanched vegetables.

Add salt and chicken essence and stir-fry evenly. Finally, sprinkle a little bit of cooked sesame seeds.

Gu Lixia likes to eat vinegar, and she will pour a small amount of aged vinegar into her food.

Gu Lixia had heated up the steamed buns beforehand.

This was the first time Jiang Wen saw this dish. It smelled delicious and tasted even better.

I feel like a steamed bun is not hot enough.

But the steamed buns were not reheated.

Just pick up the dishes one by one with chopsticks and eat them.

I watched Gu Lixia pour the vinegar, then I poured some vinegar myself and tried it.

I think these are two different flavors.

All are acceptable.

After eating, Jiang Wen cleaned up again.

Gu Lixia went to the backyard to pick oranges and show off.

Then, wash up and rest.

Jiang Wenzhe continued reading upstairs.

A dreamless night.

When I woke up in the morning, it was already the 31st, the last day of August.

Make some soy milk, then go out for a run and do some aerobic exercise.

After coming back, I simply washed up on the first floor and made an egg and ham omelet.

Scooped out some of the kimchi from before.

The last point.

A small bowl of leftover spicy hot pot side dish from last night.

When the meal is ready, go up and call Jiang Wen.

Then, Gu Lixia went upstairs to pack up and came down.

Jiang Wen was already sitting down and drinking soy milk.

Jiang Wen used to wait for Gu Lixia, but later Gu Lixia said there was no need to wait.

In addition, Jiang Wen eats a lot, while Gu Lixia eats less.

There is no need to wait for breakfast. Whoever comes down first can eat first.

After leaving the space, Jiang Wen cleaned up the house first, and Gu Lixia went out to open the door and take a walk.

Jiang Wen first went to the kitchen, took the basin, scooped water, and went back to clean up.

Gu Lixia also went in and filled the two water tanks with water.

Come out and soak three mops.

Hang to drain.

Jiang Wen also finished cleaning the house and came out to bring a basin of water.

Gu Lixia held the funnel.

On top of the gate.

Jiang Wen came back with water and brought it to the top of the gate.

The water was stored by cheating. After Jiang Wen carried six buckets, the water was full.

Jiang Wen continued to carry water to irrigate the fields.

Jiang Xiu also got up, and Gu Lixia called Jiang Xiu to make fried persimmon cakes together.

There are 8 persimmons in total.

Leave one.

The aunt and sister-in-law first peeled 7 persimmons, took out the flesh, and mashed them into a paste.

Then sift the flour into the persimmon puree, mix well and knead into dough.

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, then divide it into 32 small pieces.

Huainan also got up and took the initiative to light the fire.

Take a dough, wrap it with a spoonful of brown sugar, and pinch the opening tightly.

Add oil to the front pan, put the wrapped persimmon cakes in, and fry over low heat until both sides are golden brown.

Fry 5 to 6 at a time.

In the back pot, he made steamed eggs for Huaixi.

Come out and drizzle with sesame oil, sauce and vinegar.

Everyone else had boiled eggs.

Gu Lixia scooped more cold water into the pot.

Take out the fish balls made yesterday.

It was left in the water all day yesterday.

It's still good now.

After the water boils, add the chopped green onions.

It’s ready to go.

One bowl per person.

Put at least 4 in a child’s bowl.

While eating, Huaibei asked, "What is this? I've never seen it before. It's so delicious. Do you have more tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiu looked at Gu Lixia, and Gu Lixia looked at Jiang Wen. What could Jiang Wen do? He couldn't refuse. "I think it's delicious. Let's go back to their house next Sunday and exchange some. This thing grows deep in the mountains. It's not common, and we can only exchange it if we have it. Otherwise, forget it."

"That's all. There are 8 persimmons in total, and 7 of them were used to make this cake. The remaining one will be shared among everyone later." Gu Lixia said after seeing Jiang Wen express his opinion.

Jiang Huaixi also felt delicious while eating the steamed egg that only he had.

No one else has.

After eating, he asked Jiang Xiu to pack their schoolbags and books. The books had already been bought, so there was no need to buy new ones.

The notebook is also ready.

The schoolbag is also new.

This is the benefit of having children of different ages at home.

A set of books was passed down through two generations.

If Gu Lixia had been born earlier, maybe it could have been used for another two years.

But Gu Lixia had no plans.

If you have it, give birth to it; if you don’t have it, wait.

After dinner, Gu Lixia took the remaining persimmon and cut it with a knife.

One bite per person.
