Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.
Chapter 48: Hot Meat and Vegetables
"Hmm... this meat... is truly... amazing!"
Heat escaped from the edge of the torn gap. Shen Shulan's teeth felt a little soft, but she was still reluctant to let go.
In the past, she ate dishes carefully prepared by the chef in the mansion. The names were fancy and the presentation was even more fancy. She couldn't even tell what some of the food was until she put it in her mouth.
But she felt that all those "delicacies" were not as good as the big bone in front of her that was stewed until it was tender. The feeling of eating meat in big mouthfuls was really very refreshing!
In order to cater to the appetites of the elderly and children, the soup base of this hot pot is delicious and light, but Cheng Yuntao herself likes spicy food, so she prepared several dipping sauces and served them on the table.
"Everyone can put the dishes they want into the pot, meat first and then vegetables. Beef and mutton slices don't need to be cooked for too long, just blanch them for about ten seconds and they are ready to eat when they change color."
No one else had tried this way of eating before and found it very novel. They did not dare to take the initiative, but instead stared at Cheng Yuntao's movements carefully, intending to imitate him.
Cheng Yuntao understood what was going on, so she took the lead in picking up a few slices of mutton rolls and putting them into the pot to boil. After the color of the mutton changed, she quickly picked them up and put a slice into everyone's bowl.
"It's very simple, just do what I did just now. I cut the mutton rolls very thinly, so I think it will taste good."
"Everyone try it first. If you think it's too bland, you can try some dipping sauce."
The Cheng family, young and old, had already tasted the deliciousness of the mutton. They all lowered their heads at the same time, put the mutton rolls into their mouths and chewed them carefully, with satisfied expressions on their faces.
Shen Shulan stared at the mutton in her bowl and was reluctant to pick up her chopsticks. She had eaten this mutton before, but she always felt that the mutton had too strong a smell and was difficult to eat.
In the past, if there were dishes made with mutton at the family dinner, she would always avoid it, and was scolded by her mother for being picky about food.
Cheng Yuntao noticed Shen Shulan's resistance and asked with some concern.
"Sister Shen, do you not like eating mutton? Sorry, I forgot to ask you just now."
"If you dislike mutton because of its strong smell, then I suggest you try my boiled mutton. It has absolutely no strange smell and is very delicious."
"Of course, if you don't want to try it, that's fine. There are plenty of other meats. How about I make you some beef rolls or pork rolls?"
Hearing this, Shen Shulan was a little flustered. She didn't want to trouble others because of herself and ruin her good mood.
Besides, she has great confidence in Cheng Yuntao's cooking skills, so maybe she could really give it a try?
"Don't bother. Let me try it first."
She picked up the mutton roll, hesitated for a moment, and put it into her mouth under Cheng Yuntao's expectant gaze.
As soon as the mutton roll entered his mouth, Shen Shulan instinctively frowned and chewed quickly, trying to prevent the strong smell from spreading rapidly on his tongue.
But as she chewed, a look of surprise involuntarily appeared on her face, and her frown gradually relaxed.
"This...this mutton really doesn't have any weird smell at all, how amazing!!"
"Why is the mutton I ate before so different from this..."
Shen Shulan was so surprised that she picked up some mutton rolls and put them into the pot to boil. This was her first time trying this way of eating, and she felt both fresh and confused.
"Yun Tao, is this ok to eat?"
Shen Shulan asked Cheng Yuntao through the rising mist, holding the mutton slices on his chopsticks.
"It's ok, it's cooked, eat it without worry."
After getting the affirmation, Shen Shulan put the mutton roll into her mouth again. This time she felt it for real. This mutton roll was really different!
She caught a glimpse of the dipping sauce on the side and couldn't suppress her curiosity. She put the mutton roll in, rolled it around, and covered it with rich seasoning.
He opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
Who could tell her how this mutton roll could be so tender, so refreshing and without any smell of mutton?
Add sesame flour, crushed peanuts, chili powder... You can feel the obvious granularity while chewing, but this feeling does not make people feel bored. Instead, it becomes more interesting the more you chew.
Looking at his expression, Cheng Yuntao knew that Shen Shulan liked this dry dipping sauce, so she quickly reached out and pushed the oil sauce over.
"Sister Shen, can you try this again?"
With the previous successful experience, Shen Shulan no longer hesitated this time and decisively picked up the mutton roll and put it into the oil dish.
With two simple actions of putting and wrapping, the seasonings immersed in the oil dish are stirred up instantly. When you lift the chopsticks, the chopped green onions and coriander floating on the surface are also picked up.
The lamb is lightly dipped in sesame oil, making it even more tender without losing its chewiness. With a gentle bite, the sesame oil, like a sweet nectar, slowly seeps through the cracks in the lamb's texture, instantly filling your mouth with a sweet and smooth flavor, leaving you with a delicious aroma wherever you touch it.
"How's it going?"
Cheng Yuntao raised her chin towards Shen Shulan with a smile, her eyes full of confidence.
"In one word, good!"
“Two words, very good!”
“Three words, very good!”
Shen Shulan's cold little face gradually began to turn red under the influence of the steam, revealing a liveliness and excitement that was completely different from her outward image.
If there was no wine on the table, Cheng Yuntao would have really thought that Shen Shulan had drunk some wine and was a little tipsy.
"Hahaha, as long as you think it's good, eat as much as you want!"
Everyone was busy, and chopsticks were flying up and down as if they were fighting in a pot.
"Hey, where's the beef roll I just put in there?"
"It seems like I ate it, hehe."
"Wait, I put this in there, it's almost cooked, if you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it yourself!"
"Why is the plate empty? I don't think I ate many slices."
"Sister! Restock! We need to eat more of this!"
……
After eating the meat slices, Cheng Yuntao started to work on the internal organs. Shen Shulan was shocked at first. In her impression, this kind of food was very dirty and ordinary dignitaries did not like to eat it.
But she had had previous experiences, so she didn't say anything this time. She just wanted to eat with everyone!
The tripe is crispy, with small spines sticking out from the surface, making a crunching sound when chewed; the duck intestines are gently dipped in the boiling broth, then slightly rolled up and fished out, tender and bouncy; the pork liver has a delicate texture, and tastes fresh and dense, with the unique mellow flavor of liver...
Cheng Yuntao then put greens, radishes, mushrooms and other vegetables into the pot. The green vegetables tossed up and down in the pot, and the green leaves gradually became shiny. The radish pieces slowly softened and absorbed the delicious soup.
With one chopstick after another, Shen Shulan vented out the frustration that had been suppressed for a long time. He was sweating all over while eating and temporarily forgot about those unpleasant things.
