Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich

The next day, Xiangdong got up early in the morning, but had no idea what to cook. Fortunately, Tiantian and Pippi came to the kitchen to help.

"Aunt, have you thought of what snacks to make?" Tiantian raised her little face and asked her aunt. She wanted to grow taller quickly so that she wouldn't have to look up when looking at people. It was so tiring.

Xiangdong squatted in front of Tiantian, pinched Tiantian's face and asked, "Tiantian, do you have any ideas?"

It is now the end of September and almost October, and the weather is getting colder, so I can't make cold food to sell. I go over my favorite foods in my mind every day, and suddenly I locked on one thing, malatang, which must taste good in this weather.

"Second aunt, let's make spicy hot pot." Tiantian said excitedly, her saliva almost flowing from her eyes.

"Malatang?" Xiangdong looked at Tiantian in confusion and asked, "What is this Malatang? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Just boil a pot of soup first, then put the vegetables and meat in~" Tiantian explained in a baby voice.

"Oh..." Xiangdong nodded, not quite understanding, but still asked with some doubt: "Will it taste good like this?"

She felt that listening to Tiantian's words was like cooking vegetables in plain water. Would it really taste good?

"It's all about the soup. It's delicious if the soup is good." Tiantian explained, then pointed to the seasonings she had taken out last night: "We'll use these seasonings to make the soup. The soup will definitely be delicious."

Xiangdong nodded to show that she understood. These seasonings all tasted good, and she thought that if they were put together to make soup, it would definitely taste delicious.

Xiangdong decided to give Tiantian's method a try. Since she had a large bone at home, she cleaned it and put it in a pot to simmer. Then, she cleaned another pot and prepared to make the soup base.

Heat the oil in a wok, and when it's hot, Xiangdong puts in all the seasonings that Tiantian handed her. Suddenly, the wok starts making crackling noises, frightening Xiangdong so much that she almost throws the lid away.

"Be careful!" Tiantian was also startled and quickly reminded Xiangdong.

Xiangdong quickly asked Tiantian to move away to avoid being splashed by the hot oil. At the same time, she carefully stir-fried the seasonings in the wok until the aroma came out.

She picked up a wooden spatula and began to stir the seasoning. The smell was very pungent, but it was also tinged with a hint of spicy flavor, which made it barely acceptable. Seeing that the seasoning was almost cooked, Tiantian said to Xiangdong, "Second Aunt, pour the bone broth in and simmer it for another half an hour. It will be ready."

When Xiangdong heard what Tiantian said, he quickly scooped the bone broth into the freshly fried seasoning with a wooden spoon. The pungent smell instantly dissipated, and the air was filled with the rich aroma and spicy taste of the bone broth, making people drool.

Tiantian and Pipi also swallowed their saliva uncontrollably. The smell was so fragrant that it whetted their appetite.

"Aunt, wait for the soup to boil, then put the food you want to eat in it." Tiantian continued to say to Xiangdong.

"What do Tiantian and Pipi want to eat?" Xiangdong covered the pot and walked to Tiantian and asked.

"Tofu." Tiantian loves tofu the most.

"Meat." Pipi loved eating meat the most, so he said to his second aunt without hesitation.

Xiangdong thought about it and realized that there was still some meat at home, but no tofu. So she said to Tiantian and Pipi, "Second Aunt is going to buy tofu. You two can go play with grandma."

"Okay." The two kids agreed together.

Soon Xiangdong came in from outside. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she went straight to the pot and lifted the lid to check inside. The soup in the pot was already boiling, steaming and emitting a rich aroma.

After confirming the broth was boiling, Xiangdong quickly added the sliced ​​meat to the pot. Then, she expertly picked up the kitchen knife and began slicing the tofu. With each stroke, the tender tofu was sliced ​​into even pieces, neatly stacked aside.

After completing these preparations, Xiangdong turned and walked to the yard, picked some fresh vegetables, and then carefully washed them. When the meat slices were half cooked, she put the various vegetables into the pot one by one.

As more ingredients were added, the aroma from the pot became stronger and filled the entire kitchen. This tempting aroma also attracted the attention of other family members, who followed the smell to the kitchen door.

"Second sister-in-law, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good!" Yun Tingshu stood at the kitchen door, looking inside curiously, his face full of anticipation.

Xiangdong replied without even looking up, "I'm making spicy hot pot. Dinner will be served in another quarter of an hour."

Hearing that they would have to wait another quarter of an hour before they could taste the food, everyone was a little impatient. However, in order to enjoy this delicious breakfast as soon as possible, Yun Tingshu took the initiative to walk into the main room and help set the table and dishes neatly.

Xiangdong had never seen her family so eagerly preparing for breakfast. Usually, at this time of day, there would always be one or two people still dawdling or not getting up. But today, with the exception of Yun Luoxuan, who was at school, everyone else had gathered early, quietly waiting for her to serve the mouth-watering pot of spicy hot pot.

"Be careful, it's hot." Xiangdong put the spicy hot pot in the middle, and then put the baked whole grain pancake aside.

Yun Tingshu picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu, and put it into his mouth. He didn't expect that this tofu, which was fully soaked in the soup, would be so delicious! The tofu was tender and smooth, fragrant, and had a hint of spicy stimulation, which made him unable to stop. After eating several pieces in a row, he stopped what he was doing and gave Xiangdong a thumbs up: "Second sister-in-law, this spicy hot pot is so delicious!"

Hearing Yun Tingshu's praise, others started to eat.

"Tiantian wants to eat too." The little girl was extremely anxious. Her hands were too short to reach the spicy hot pot on the table. Even if she could, she could only scoop the soup with a spoon. Pipi was just as anxious as her. Seeing everyone eating so happily, he was also very greedy. He was afraid that he would not be able to eat, so he quickly grabbed Yun Tingluo's hand and said, "Daddy, I want to eat too."

Seeing the two little ones who couldn't get any, Old Lady Yun put some vegetables and chopped meat in their bowls. The two siblings who had the spicy hot pot didn't make a fuss, but took the spoon and ate it obediently, but they didn't know how much they took in.

Pipi found that he couldn't eat anything with a spoon, so he used his little hands to enjoy the delicious hand-grabbed food. As soon as Pipi put the food in his mouth, his eyes lit up. He ate faster and faster, and soon finished the food that his grandmother picked for him. He quickly put his small bowl next to his grandmother and said, "Grandma, Pipi wants more food."

Tiantian didn't expect that her brother could eat spicy food at such a young age and eat so fast. She wanted to keep up with him, but her stomach was too small. The brother and sister left the table without eating much, while the people at the table were still savoring the delicious spicy hot pot.

"This spicy hot pot feels very spicy when you first eat it, as if something is jumping on the tip of your tongue, bringing a fiery feeling, as if your whole body is on fire." Yun Tingshu used almost all he had learned in his life to describe the taste of this spicy hot pot.

He continued, "But once the spiciness wears off, a unique aroma permeates the air, leaving you with a lingering aftertaste. This aroma, with its subtle sweetness and numbing taste, is irresistible."

Others chimed in, expressing their agreement. As they savored the spicy hot pot, they talked about its texture and flavor, seemingly filled with curiosity and love for this delicacy.

"Well, I think this spicy hot pot is really delicious! Not only is it spicy, but it also has a rich aroma that makes people salivate."

"Yeah, I've never eaten anything so special. It has such a delicate texture, and every bite is so satisfying."

"It's really delicious. The freshness of the vegetables, the tenderness of the meat, and the smoothness of the tofu. Each ingredient has a unique taste and flavor, blending together to form a rich and diverse taste." Yun Tingqing echoed.

Xiangdong became more confident after receiving such high praise from her family. She was just worried that the spicy hot pot she made would not taste good!

"Xiangdong, I think this spicy hot pot business will be successful." Old Lady Yun said to Xiangdong.

"Mom, this tastes really good, but it's a bit spicy. We still have to make some pancakes to eat with it." Xiangdong loves and hates this spicy hot pot. She can't eat spicy food very well, but she can't bear to eat it. After all, this is the first time she has eaten such a delicacy since she was born.

"Then let's steam some coarse grain buns so we can take them to town." Old Lady Yun said.
