Chapter 255
Jiang Zhinuan hadn't bothered to prepare the dishes for the hot pot tonight, when Zhang Quan and the others came, and Zhao Hongxia washed her hands and came to the kitchen to help.

Vegetarian dishes are those kinds, potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, cabbage, green leafy vegetables and mushrooms, which should be cleaned and cut.

I bought beef and mutton today, sliced ​​into slices, which is perfect for hot pot. In addition, tripe and beef, Jiang Zhinuan, have been washed by the river, rinsed with spring water for a while, and can be eaten after cutting.

Pork is mashed and boiled into balls. The only downside is that we didn’t get any fish balls today, and all the fish caught in a basket were sent out.

When all the dishes for shabu-shabu were almost prepared, Jiang Zhinuan brought out her secret weapon.

"Sir, let's start a fire and prepare to cook hot pot."

Di Qing and Zhang Shuangzhu quickly lit a charcoal brazier on the table, and Uncle Zhang also came out of the room to help serve dishes and bowls. When everyone saw Jiang Zhinuan's bowl of green things, they frowned in unison. .

"Fat girl, what is this?"

"The bottom of the pot, this bottom of the pot is not common."

Uncle Zhang leaned over to smell it, and his nose was wrinkled together. Not only is this uncommon, but it is completely unheard and unseen. Moreover, the smell is very similar to the smell of sewage that Jiang Zhinuan had on his body when he first came back. .

After heating, the taste seems to be stronger.

Everyone hid away, even An Bao and Ning Bao covered their mouths and noses: "Mother, what is it, it smells so bad."

"Hey, it's not smelly, at most it just smells bad, but it tastes delicious, like the stinky tofu and snail noodles, or durian, it smells stinky and tastes good , the more you eat, the more you become addicted.”

But what are stinky tofu snail noodles and durian?
Not only the two children tilted their heads and stared at her with big eyes puzzled, but so did the others.

For them, Jiang Zhinuan said many strange things that they had never heard of.

Jiang Zhinuan can only explain that this is a delicacy from the Western Regions.

The taste of this beef stew hot pot is indeed a bit high, and most people who know how it is made can't eat it, so Jiang Zhinuan chose not to talk about it.

"Brother-in-law, did you bring the two herbs I asked you to bring?"

Zhang Quan nodded repeatedly, and pointed to the things wrapped in kraft paper on the chair beside him: "Isn't that right? Over there, Shichangpu and Huoxiang Chuanxiong."

Jiang Zhinuan picked up the thing, put it under his nose and smelled it, and poured it all into the pot.

With the aid of this spice, the smell in the pot gradually decreased a lot. When the pot was boiling, Jiang Zhinuan asked everyone to sit down. Seeing that everyone was reluctant, she had to go back to the room, tear off the corner of the quilt and take out some cotton. , one person shared a lump.

"Just plug your nose and eat it. Let me tell you, it tastes really good."

Zhao Hongxia couldn't hold back and asked her: "Zhi Nuan, tell me, what is the bottom of your pot made of? The color and taste really look a bit strange."

Niu Baba!
This beef hot pot is commonly known as Niu Ba Ba pot, but she can't say it directly, she can only lie: "Well, it's made of herbs, and I soaked the herbs when I came back in the afternoon."

"Herbal medicine?" Di Qing was stunned for a moment, Jiang Zhinuan didn't see the herbal medicine when he came back.

Jiang Zhinuan put some vegetables and meat into the pot first. To be honest, she only ate this beef hot pot once before, and it took a long time for her to eat it.

The taste is really good, but it smells bad, which makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable psychologically.

Now that she was eating again, Jiang Zhinuan felt a little nervous, but in order to show everyone, she still put a piece of mutton with seasoning and put it in her mouth with her usual expression.

Not to mention, the taste in your mouth is really good.

Jiang Zhinuan raised his chin at them: "Are you really not coming to eat? This is a good thing. When did I, Jiang Zhinuan, lie to you?"

"That's true! Everyone, please sit down. The fatty sausage made by the fat girl is a must. It's delicious. We have to trust her. She says it's delicious!"

After Zhang Abo pushed Di Qing to sit down, everyone followed suit.

However, everyone also stuffed the cotton that Jiang Zhinuan handed them into their nostrils tacitly, and then tried to fish out food from the green soup pot to eat.

Jiang Zhinuan mixed oil dishes for them to dip in the hot pot. She almost only ate vegetables, and shouted that everyone should eat meat. She also said that next time she must make sesame sauce for everyone to dip in the hot pot. That is a different taste .

After everyone ate a little, they slowly accepted the taste, and soon felt the unique charm of this hot pot.

Soon, all the cotton stuffed in her nose was also taken away. Jiang Zhinuan was a little hesitant to tell everyone the truth, but in order to prevent everyone from projectile vomiting, she changed the name of this beef flat hot pot to an elegant one—Baicao pot.

Everyone dedicated themselves to this hot pot meal until the end.

Of course, the premise is that Jiang Zhinuan doesn't tell them the ingredients of this hot pot.

Zhao Hongxia and his wife didn't stay overnight, and Uncle Zhang kept nagging that he hadn't been home for several days and wanted to go back and have a look.

Jiang Zhinuan knew in his heart that Aunt Zhang was still worried about Aunt Su, even if he couldn't go to see Aunt Su in person when he went back to the town, he would probably feel at ease if he got closer.

Uncle Zhang took Zhao Hongxia and his wife away on a bamboo raft, and Zhang Shuangzhu also took Dahei up the mountain to the bee farm.

For a long time, the reed marshes were rarely seen without other people and were very clean.

As soon as Jiang Zhinuan coaxed An Bao to sleep and Ning Bao came out, Di Qing shook her wheelchair and hugged her. He didn't know the day would hit the sun. Today, there is only their family in the reed marsh, and the children are asleep. It's time for husband and wife .

He eagerly embraced Jiang Zhinuan's waist, exerting force with his hands, forcing Jiang Zhinuan to bow his head and kiss him.

"Miss, can I do it today? I boiled the bath water, can we take a bath together?"

Di Qing whispered in Jiang Zhinuan's ear, the sound of hot breathing scalding the skin behind her ear, Jiang Zhinuan did not deny that she was already distracted at this moment.

But Di Qing was not good at that. She was afraid that she would hurt Di Qing's self-esteem in the middle of the walk.

"Master..."

Jiang Zhinuan raised his hand to hug Di Qing's head, and smacked his forehead forcefully: "Today is really not good."

Di Qing's misty eyes instantly became clearer, he hugged Jiang Zhinuan's waist tightly and refused to let go, his lips rubbed against her neck: "Why?"

"The honeycomb picked by brother Shuangzhu is still in the cabin below. Tonight I have to cook beeswax and prepare a new foundation for the hive. The remaining beehives should also be filled with bees. When brother Shuangzhu comes to help, I promise If you can earn a hundred taels of silver from his bee farm, you can't slack off."

Jiang Zhinuan refused Di Qing by working, and even if Di Qing wanted to be clingy, he had no choice but to let go.

But he was still a little reconciled: "Couldn't it be possible to cook again tomorrow? This night is not too bad."

Jiang Zhinuan said helplessly: "When the owner of the wine shop added ice cubes to me, he asked me to study the new wine recipe earlier. Sister Hongxia and the others brought so many old quilts and cotton clothes. I also agreed and returned them before winter." Down quilts and down jackets, in the future I will have to find time to get duck feathers in the reeds, and I don’t have much time to take over the shop, I still have to prepare those things, I still think about buying some pigs and cows to raise when I have time, Where is the time to waste?"

Pigs have to be raised, there is no need to raise more, just one or two pigs will be enough to eat for a year if they are killed during the Chinese New Year.

As for raising cattle, Jiang Zhinuan originally went for the milk, but today the deflated cow hot pot inspired her again. She has to store cow dung until winter comes, so that she can use the cow dung to keep warm!
