Shen Ping started preparing for this banquet one day in advance. This time, Shen Ping decided to do something different from the usual banquet. This time, she decided to have spicy hot pot.

In addition, she bought ten sheep in the mall, gutted them, and marinated them one day in advance. As for the ingredients for the marinade, she used five-spice powder, and then added purple ginger, sand ginger powder, barbecue powder, cumin powder, and oyster sauce.

Because we are roasting a whole lamb, the longer it is marinated, the more flavorful it will be. It is just right to marinate it one day in advance.

Of the ten sheep, seven were roasted whole, and the meat from the remaining three was removed and skewered on bamboo sticks to make grilled lamb skewers, while the bones were used to make soup.

On the day of the banquet, Shen Ping asked the people in the kitchen to take out the marinated whole lamb, use fresh bamboo to make a cross to support the whole lamb and then tie it tightly, and then erect two wooden racks at both ends of the fire, and then put the whole lamb on the fire to burn.

Roasting a whole lamb is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. During the roasting process, it needs to be turned over and over to prevent it from being overcooked or cooked unevenly.

This time, Shen Ping picked a dozen young men, carefully taught them the details, and asked them to concentrate on watching the fire.

As soon as the mutton was roasted on the fire, it started to sizzle with oil, and the seasonings mixed with the aroma of meat. Suddenly, the whole Kaoshan Village was filled with a special aroma.

Everyone couldn't help drooling when they smelled the fragrance, and many people ran over to watch.

The whole sheep was roasted on the fire. It was the first time for everyone to see such an operation and they were all stunned.

The roasted whole lamb and lamb skewers are appetizers, and the main course is hot pot.

Shen Ping asked the people in the kitchen to wash various mushrooms and vegetables, and cut the chicken and fish into thin slices for later use. Shen Ping bought the base ingredients needed for hot pot in the mall, and also bought a lot of meatballs and sausages.

In addition, they brought back a lot of pig offal, pig liver and pig intestines, which are the best accompaniments for hot pot.

The people in the kitchen had already prepared the dishes, but they were dumbfounded when they suddenly heard Shen Ping say that none of the ingredients needed to be fried.

How can we eat these dishes if they are not fried? Are they eating them raw? They know that they are roasting lamb over there, but they are not going to eat only lamb, right? Besides, the chicken and fish have been cut up, as well as the intestines and meatballs, as well as the pig's offal and liver.

Soon, Shen Ping gave the answer. There was a charcoal stove on each table, and a large clay pot was placed on it. This was what Shen Ping had searched for in the mall. It was not only a clay pot, but also a shuangyuan hot pot.

This is really great and can meet the needs of different people. Use clear soup while adding spicy sauce. Pour the mutton soup that has been cooked in advance on top, and then put in the hot pot base. Then put all kinds of ingredients into the pot and put them in. You can eat them after they are cooked.

In addition, Shen Ping also prepared a dipping sauce, which was made of minced green onion, ginger, garlic and coriander, and some soy sauce and lard. The ingredients were blanched in the clear soup, and then they could be eaten after being dipped in the dipping sauce.

Wuchun and He Yao were taken to the ancestral hall by Li and Liu to burn incense and kowtow to their ancestors. Now they have brought honor to the family.

As for Xu Hao, since he was not from Kaoshan Village after all, there was no need for him to go into the ancestral hall in the village to kowtow. He could just worship directly at the door that day.

Everyone looked at them with eyes full of admiration, and told their children to follow their role models.

Nowadays, Kaoshan Village is very famous. It not only has several workshops, but also produced a scholar and a student this year.

When they came back, the whole lamb was roasted. Everyone cut it into pieces and prepared to serve it. Everyone was amazed at the roasted lamb and said they had never eaten anything so delicious.

Not to mention ordinary villagers, even County Magistrate Zhang and his men had never eaten such a thing. As for Prefect Xu, he was a modern man and of course knew this.

But he still pretended to be serious and praised repeatedly: "Madam Shen, I don't usually eat mutton because I think it has a strong smell, but the one you roasted is really delicious."

"Yes! Prefect Xu is right, Madam Shen, the mutton you cook is really delicious." County Magistrate Gao interrupted with a smile.

This time Xu Mingchang was not telling the truth. His favorite was lamb skewers. He used to go out to eat skewers at night, sipping beer and eating skewers. It was so comfortable.

But since coming here, even mutton is rare, let alone mutton skewers. I have almost forgotten the taste. I didn't expect to eat it at Shen Ping's place now.

And this spicy hotpot, the dishes Shen Ping made this time are really to his liking.

Seeing that lamb skewers are so popular with everyone, Dachun once again decided to buy lamb skewers.

There were various ingredients on the table, with rice on one side and steamed buns on the other.

After eating the appetizers, everyone started to eat hotpot. Xu Mingchang was also familiar with this. Seeing that everyone didn't know how to eat it, he started by demonstrating and others followed suit.

Everyone started eating with their chopsticks, and soon all kinds of sounds were heard.

"Really delicious!"

"Wow~ It's so spicy, my mouth is numb!"

“It’s spicy, but it’s really delicious!”

Gao Ju looked at Xu Hao, who was sitting opposite her. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and was very handsome. Her heart suddenly began to beat fast and she couldn't help but look around secretly.

Unfortunately, Xu Hao didn't even look at her. Gao Ju wanted to say something to him, but didn't know how to start.

Mother Zhao nudged her with her elbow. Gao Ju knew what her mother meant and immediately said with a smile, "Brother Xu, can you help me put down the red mushroom? It's too far to reach."

Xu Hao looked at Gao Ju, whose eyes were always staring at him vaguely. He suddenly felt a little disgusted. After hearing what she said, he didn't want to pay attention to her, but that would make him seem too stingy, so he had to help her put the mushrooms into the pot.

Seeing Xu Hao doing what he said gave Gao Ju confidence, and her face was as bright as a flower. She would ask Xu Hao to help her put the vegetables in the pot every now and then.

Magistrate Zhang and Xu Mingchang started chatting about the situation in the court again, with Gao Shun interjecting from time to time.

The county magistrate's wife, Zhao, looked at Dong and praised her again, "Madam Xu, long time no see. How come you are getting younger and more beautiful?"

The happiest thing for a woman is when someone compliments her on her beauty. Of course she was happy to hear Zhao say that, and the two of them immediately started chatting again.

Zhao looked at Dong and said, "Madam Xu, Xu Hao did well this time and passed the examination for a scholar. The next step is to become a juren. If I remember correctly, your Xu Hao is almost 18 years old, right?"

"Of course! Time flies!" Mrs. Dong sighed.

"My daughter Juer is almost 17 years old. I think she and Xu Hao are a good match. What do you think?" Zhao went straight to the point. She was not like others who beat around the bush.

"Oh my god~"

Gao Ju hesitated for a moment, then smiled, glancing at Xu Hao, who frowned as he listened. A hint of disgust seemed to flash across her eyes, then it was gone in a flash, and Gao Ju's smile froze on her face.
