Rebirth: Farming Skillfully with a Mrs.

The cooks heard that they had to prepare all kinds of dishes, and they were all busy.

What kind of big man is here?

So willing?

"It's the God of Cookery!"

The waiter smiled and said...

An hour later.

All kinds of new dishes are available, seven or eight in total.

Nian Xiaomi first tasted the main special dish - sweet fish with five flavor sauce.

This is a dish that shopkeeper Xue is full of praise for.

Nian Xiaomi glanced at it, and found that the appearance of this fragrant fish in sauce was not bad.

After a sip, it was crispy, smooth and tender, and the taste was acceptable, but I felt that it lacked flavor no matter what.

"How does it taste?" Shopkeeper Xue asked hastily.

"It's okay, so-so." Nian Xiaomi said bluntly.

As a senior foodie in my previous life, I tasted all the cuisines of Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui.

Going back to ancient times to eat these things now is definitely not as good as before.

"Brother that year, what taste was worse?"

Shopkeeper Xue's mouth twitched.

This dish was taught by famous chefs in the capital at the expense of a lot of money!

It was said to be normal...

"It's too bad." Nian Xiaomi frowned again.

Yan Mo's cheeks puffed up, and he said softly:

"I think it's delicious..."

"You know what..."

Nian Xiaomi finally held back and swallowed the word "fart".

"Yuanjue mutton bone, this is a good thing. It invigorates the spleen and warms the heart, nourishes the kidney and strengthens the yang."

Nian Xiaomi picked up another sheep bone, tasted it, and shook his head.

"It's a pity that the smell is too strong."

"Ginseng stewed black chicken..." Nian Xiaomi tore a piece of chicken, "It's too old."

"This stewed crab meat and lion's head looks okay."

Nian Xiaomi took a sip, "It's just a little greasy."

“Goose Pot Vermicelli Soup!”

When Nian Xiaomi saw a fan, his eyes lit up.

In his previous life, he loved to eat Liangpi, rice noodles, vermicelli and so on.

He tasted it with a white porcelain spoon and shook his head.

"Too many seasonings cover the original flavor of the goose, and the vermicelli is overcooked."

In short, Nian Xiaomi tried these seven or eight new dishes, either shaking his head or frowning.

Yan Mo felt a little embarrassed and poked him directly under the table.

"What are you doing! Why do you keep poking me..."

The shopkeeper Xue regretted it for a moment. He shouldn't invite him to taste it, wasting a table of dishes in vain.

He's clearly picking on the bone in the egg!

The cooks in the store also came to the hall, and after hearing Nian Xiaomi's evaluation, someone said in a rough voice:

"Isn't there any dish that catches your eye? How many dishes do you have if you have the ability?"

Shopkeeper Xue also stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Then why don't you ask brother Nian to demonstrate in person?"

It's so hard to get Nian Xiaomi!

He has long wanted to show off his cooking skills.

"to make!"

He put down his chopsticks proudly, full of confidence.

Even if the dishes made by this ancient restaurant are good, can they still surpass the modern catering culture that has been developed for hundreds of years?

"Let's make your signature dish, sweet fish with five flavor sauce."

Nian Xiaomi followed the crowd to the back kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and started to work.

Yan Mo looked at his daughter-in-law's cute appearance in the apron, and hearts flew out of her eyes...

The ingredients have already been prepared, so there is no need to worry about Nian Xiaomi.

In his previous life, he liked to watch food shows the most, and he also liked to download food apps to research recipes when he had nothing to do.

Sauce-flavored fish is also learned from it, and I have done it many times.

The so-called five flavors means that one fish can taste five flavors.

The main ingredient is crucian carp, and the ingredients include shrimp, mutton, dried bamboo shoots, thousands of shreds, and shiitake mushrooms.

Nian Xiaomi added pine nuts, green and red peppers, green onion, ginger and garlic.

The fish is skilfully sliced ​​to taste, and then the onion, ginger, garlic, salt and wine are evenly rubbed and marinated.

Chop the ingredients into small pieces and set aside.

After 10 minutes, marinate the fish and fry it in a pan until golden on both sides.

Then use the remaining oil to stir-fry the mutton first, then add shrimp and other auxiliary materials, and then add miso, chili sauce, soy sauce and other seasonings.

Hot water submerged the fish to cover the smoldering.

When the aroma is tangy, add shiitake mushrooms, green peppers and green garlic, and cook over high heat to collect the juice.

When the soup is thick, pour it over the fish and sprinkle with pine nuts.

A delicious fish with soy sauce is alive!

At this time, the whole back kitchen is full of aroma.

Everyone's saliva came out, and the cooks were also stunned.

You don't need to taste it, the taste is already mellow and delicious, completely surpassing the previous ones!

This guy is young, only in his early twenties.

How can he have such a craft?

"Try it all."

Nian Xiaomi made an invitation gesture, so proud in her heart!

Once, he also made this dish in kindergarten, which was well received by teachers and children.

Yan Mo ran up to pick up the chopsticks and wanted to eat, but was grabbed by Nian Xiaomi.

"This is not the time to be greedy! This is to teach others and improve! You have eaten it all by yourself, and they still taste a bird..."

Nian Xiaomi finally couldn't help but swear.

Yan Mo scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

"Daughter-in-law is right, I bear it and don't eat."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Nian Xiaomi's heart softened again.

"Hey, I'll make it for you when I get home..."

Shopkeeper Xue and the others were drooling, and hurriedly picked up bamboo chopsticks to pick up fish to taste.

Oily but not greasy, tender and delicious, moderately salty and spicy, full of five flavors!

I can't stop eating it because it's so delicious!

It took a while, and a plate of fish bottomed out immediately.

With Nian Xiaomi's consent, Yan Mo filled a bowl of white rice and ate the rest of the rice with soup...

The cooks, who were not convinced just now, immediately gathered around and asked Nian Xiaomi for advice on methods and techniques, as well as the proportion of dosage.

Nian Xiaomi showed such a trick, and naturally hooked the shopkeeper Xue who was eager to make money!

He brought tea as a respect, moved the grand master's chair and invited Nian Xiaomi to take a seat.

Nian Xiaomi sat down and explained the ratio of ingredients and other matters one by one.

Then point out the areas for improvement in other cuisines.

Just a few words of advice can bring the dishes to a higher level!

The chefs were all excited, and they all remembered carefully.

of course!

Nian Xiaomi also has reservations, how can the secret recipe be leaked out?

Because he still has some small selfishness, preparing for opening a restaurant by himself in the future.

Before leaving, shopkeeper Xue took out two jars of good wine and insisted on Yan Mo taking them back.

Nian Xiaomi didn't give in.

After thinking about it, he set the hot pot banquet for tomorrow evening.

"Brother Xuanran, go to the village with Sister Yourong tomorrow night, and I will make a delicacy that you have never eaten before!"

Shopkeeper Xue readily agreed.

At this moment, although the city is filled with scorching heat, the Beiyun Mountain in summer is cool and refreshing.

Along the sparsely populated river, two teenagers strolled.

They are Yan Shubai and Xiaoyong.

Xiaoyong finally couldn't hold back, turned around and looked directly at Yan Shubai:

"Are you really planning to give up the township exam? It's a matter of your future! You studied hard for ten years, isn't it just for fame? Is it just giving up like this?"

"I have my own measure and consideration, so don't worry about me."

Yan Shubai was holding his hand, immersed in the honey, feeling sweet in his heart.

"Which one is worried about you, you are being affectionate."

Xiaoyong insisted:

"I'm afraid that you will blame me in the future, and I can't bear the blame."

Yan Shubai changed his previous bookish manner and began to take the "rogue route".

"Why can't you afford it? Why don't you just promise yourself? Hehe."

Xiaoyong was so teased that his face was flushed, and he pretended to be angry and said:

"Bah! The ghost will make a promise with you."

"It will be a matter of time before you make a promise with your body." Yan Shubai's eyes were bent into crescent moons.

"I won't post back!" Xiaoyong said arrogantly.

"Then I'll stick to you, okay?"

Yan Shubai's face was full of anticipation, with a little sorrow, "I'd rather pay for you, and lose my future...Xiaoyong, it's you who made people become like this, you have to be responsible..."

Uh……

behave in a spoiled manner?

Yan Shubai, you are acting like a baby with me!

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Xiaoyong felt that it would be a crime not to agree to him...

Xiaoyong studied Yan Shubai carefully with his chin in his hand.

He really seemed to be a different person, with a lot less pedantic things in him, and more open-mindedness, nature and wildness.

In the past, he was well-behaved with himself, and there would always be some saintly flavor in his words.

But now, his words are very straightforward, and he even dares to confess his true feelings...

"I think...you have changed..." Xiaoyong laughed.

"What has become? Is it good or bad?"

Yan Shubai suddenly pulled him into his arms.

Before Xiaoyong could react, his lips were precisely pressed against his lips...

This is their second Xiangxiang.

It was the first time I was disturbed by silly roe deer and sika deer, and I couldn't get enough of it.

This time, there should be no more animals...

However, Xiaoyong still felt uncomfortable and shy, and wanted to push him away.

However, at this moment, his body has already been limp as water, and he has no strength to break free.

And Yan Shubai hugged him tighter and tighter.

He is usually a polite, elegant and dignified young man, but he has domineering and aggressive traits in his bones.

For a moment!

Xiaoyong had an illusion...

It felt like Yan Shubai was about to eat himself.

Of course, Xiaoyong likes this kind of feeling very much, and it makes his heartbeat speed up inexplicably...

Facing Xiaoyong, whom he has loved for a long time, Yan Shubai screamed all over his body, longing for more demands.

But he still retains some sanity.

If he really wanted to make further moves against Xiaoyong, it would probably scare him.

and so!

At the moment when he was so high-spirited that he almost took off Xiaoyong's pants.

Let go decisively.

Yan Shubai is a man with self-control, and it is destined that he will be able to accomplish great things in the future...

Xiaoyong gasped for breath, his little heart was thumping, his face was red and hot.

Yan Shubai, oh Yan Shubai!

Just now, his hand actually pinched his own butt...

Looking at the gentle, handsome and polite scholar in my impression.

At this moment, the words "dressed beast" suddenly appeared in Xiaoyong's mind.

However, it is commendatory rather than derogatory.

There is even a trace of longing in his heart, longing for Yan Shubai to go further...

wrong! !

What is hard in your hand?

Xiaoyong looked down...

My mother Bodhisattva!

when?

own hands!

He was holding Yan Shubai's little brother! ? ...

He jumped up like an electric shock!

His face flushed red like a ripe peach.

Not even daring to look at him, he lowered his head and covered his face and ran forward.

This is his first time!

This is the first time I hold other man's other than myself...

He didn't even touch Gu Yunfeng's.

It suddenly occurred to him that he had joked with Gu Yunfeng before.

At that time, his relationship with Gu Yunfeng had turned into brotherhood.

One night, they talked about Yan Shubai.

Gu Yunfeng laughed suddenly: "Xiaoyong, I bet Yan Shubai's guy must be very, very small."

Xiaoyong thought about his fragile appearance, and agreed with a smile.

But just now...

Just now my hand feels so full and huge...

"Ah! What are you thinking!" Xiaoyong shook his head and blamed himself.

Because he ran away in a hurry, he didn't see the stone in front of him.

One staggered and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there was grass ahead, so the fall was not too heavy.

Yan Shubai chased him from behind, and hurriedly squatted down to check if he was injured.

Seeing that there is no serious problem, I am relieved.

Time seems to be forbidden.

After a long time, Yan Shubai's soft voice rang in his ears.

"Xiaoyong, I've always wanted to know, do you have me in your heart?"

Xiaoyong finally nodded.

"If I didn't have you in my heart, I would have knocked you down a long time ago when you smacked my mouth that day..."

"Actually, when I heard that you were engaged, I didn't care on the surface, but I still felt a little uncomfortable. I was also very conflicted when I heard that you couldn't take the provincial examination... It's just that there were too many obstacles between us at that time."

Xiaoyong paused, then continued:

"But even today, I still have some concerns. After all, the history of the Yan family is very complicated, and there are too many ties..."

Yan Shubai listened carefully to his words, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up more and more.

There is a magma gushing out of his chest!

This is the first time Xiaoyong has confessed his heart to him!

His mood was instantly very good!

"I understand that my family opposed us being together at that time, but now there is no resistance, and I am free!"

Yan Shubai embraced him again.

"Xiaoyong, I understand your worries now. My brother and sister-in-law are also very troublesome, but as long as you don't push me away, I will always wait for you, until the day you are willing to marry me!"

Xiaoyong let him hold him, his head gently resting on his chest.

He could clearly feel his heartbeat and his body temperature.

You can even smell a faint fragrance of book ink.

This feeling is very reassuring.

For the first time, Xiaoyong felt the sense of security brought by a man's arms.

However, he soon thought of a practical problem.

"You have to think about it carefully. Suppose, if you marry me, will you marry me? Even if I die, I won't be under the same roof as Cuilan!"

In modern times, becoming a son-in-law is nothing.

But in feudal ancient times, being a married woman would still be contemptuous and ridiculed.

Yan Shubai didn't answer.

He really hadn't thought about this question.

Let's take a step by step...

On the second day after returning from Haizhou City, Nian Xiaomi started preparing the hot pot feast.

The family members don't know what hot pot is, but after listening to Nian Xiaomi's introduction, they also faintly have a little expectation for hot pot.

At first, Nian Xiaomi planned to make Sichuan-style spicy hot pot.

Later, considering that not everyone can eat spicy food, it was still the whole Yuanyang hot pot, with clear soup and spicy soup.

I made a list last night, early in the morning, Yan Mo went to the city to do some shopping, and went to invite Xue Yourong and his sister by the way.

Nian Xiaomi also came to the village, walking from the beginning to the end of the village.

They knocked on the door one by one and invited the old patriarch, the Tong family (the three sisters, Aunt Tong, and Er Gouzi), Yan Shubai, his younger brothers Yan Mantang, and Xie Yongqiang's family.

By the way, I would like to mention Xie Yongqiang.

He was Nian Xiaomi's craftsman when he built a new house.

At that time, Sister Lanhua fell in love with him and even pursued him.

It's just that Sister Lanhua is not his type.

Later, Xie Yongqiang married a weakling from another village and adopted a baby girl.

Li Shuanzhu, who guarded the grassland, and his wife Xiaoqing were also invited.

Sister Lanhua also went to Liushu Village early in the morning to call Li Dabai.

At noon, Yan Mo came back from Haizhou City. In addition to ingredients, he also bought some melon seeds, peanuts, and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for the guests.

Nian Xiaomi also crushes the hot pot ingredients into powder.

Vegetables are picked from the vegetable garden, fish are freshwater fish in the lake, and sea fish, meat and chicken are bought from the city.

All ingredients are ready.

Grandma Qi, Aunt Liu, Aunt Tong and Xiaoqing came to the kitchen to help.

Wash and chop vegetables, chop fish and pork into purees, and slice beef and mutton into thin slices.

Nian Xiaomi put the chopped pork into minced green onion and ginger, kneaded it into meatballs, boiled it in a pot, and then put it in cold water to cool.

The same is true for fish meatballs.

The women looked at it blankly.

This is the first time they saw meatballs.

Then start to prepare the clear soup.

Pour in the pork bone and old hen soup that has been boiled in the morning, and then pour in the fried crucian carp and continue to cook until the soup turns milky white.

Take out the dregs, add sliced ​​ginger, green onion, salt and pepper, and the broth is complete.

Several aunts were very puzzled.

After tossing and tossing all morning, Nian Xiaomi actually cooked a soup?

"You don't want this bone and the chicken skeleton? Just leave the soup?"

They still cannot accept this extravagant waste.

Nian Xiaomi understood their distress and said with a smile:

"Boiling soup is to force out the essence and nutrition, and the rest can be returned to the pot and stir-fried!"

Aunt Tong and Xiaoqing were confused and didn't understand the meaning of nutrition and essence at all.

Granny Qi and Aunt Liu were not surprised, and even explained to them what nutrition is...

However, the few of them finally asked curiously:

Who did you learn this way of cooking from?

Nian Xiaomi is very calm: What I read in ancient books...

Next, it is time to make the main event - the red soup of Yuanyang Hot Pot.

First put the chili sauce into half a can and stir-fry, and the kitchen immediately overflows with a pungent smell that makes people sneeze.

Even the people in the courtyard could not stop sneezing when they smelled it.

Nian Xiaomi quickly put down another handful of dried chili, garlic, ginger slices, Chinese prickly ash, and took out the ground spices.

There are more than a dozen kinds of spices, all of which are used to make stewed vegetables.

When the stir-fry is almost done, pour out half of the pot from the clear soup and put it in, and simmer directly.

Aunt Liu was choked to the point of tears and runny nose.

Looking at a pot of red oil with chili floating in it, he covered his nose and asked, "What is this cooking? It's so spicy!"

"It's called red soup! It's the counterpart of clear soup! It's very satisfying." Nian Xiaomi highly recommended it.

Both soups are kept warm on the stove.

Until the evening, guests came one after another.

Xue Yourong saw the large stove and soup pot on the table, beside which there were pork balls, fish balls, beef slices, mutton rolls, and piles of chicken, duck feet, potatoes, winter melon, bean sprouts, lettuce, etc.

She wondered, "Is this hot pot? How can you eat it raw?"

Nian Xiaomi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out later!"

Sister Lanhua and the others also helped to arrange the bowls and chopsticks, and the altar wine, melon seeds, peanuts and osmanthus cakes were also served.

Nian Xiaomi greeted with a smile:

"Everyone, this is hot pot. You can boil whatever you want in the pot. When it is cooked, you can eat it! If you like spicy food, put it in a red pot, and if you like light food, put it in a white pot. If you don't like it, you can Dip in some hot sauce and sauce!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people expressed their confusion.

"How can this be eaten!"

"That's right, how can there be such a way of eating!"

Nian Xiaomi smiled and picked up the meat and put it in the pot, and put some vegetables.

After a while, the pot was full of vegetables.

But despite this, everyone still didn't move their chopsticks.

Nian Xiaomi had no choice but to quickly put some vegetables and fish balls into Yanmo's bowl.

He looked at him expectantly and encouragingly:

"Msanggong, try it first! When it's too light, dip it in chili sauce."

When the meat was cooked, I picked up a few slices of mutton rolls and put them in Sister Lanhua's bowl, signaling him to eat too.

Both of them picked it up hesitantly, put it in their mouths and chewed carefully.

kindness!

This dish is much more delicious than fried!

They tasted the essence of the broth and it was delicious!

Didn't expect it to be so delicious!

It was also the first time for Yan Mo to eat fish balls, and they were so chewy.

"Can I drink this soup?"

Sister Lanhua pointed to the clear soup.

Nian Xiaomi laughed, "Of course, you can drink it to strengthen your body!"

Sister Lanhua quickly took a small bowl.

I found that there are not only the sweetness of vegetables, but also the deliciousness of rich chicken soup, bone soup, and fish soup.

The two put down their initial restraints and ate heartily.

With the leadership of the two of them, others began to eat with their chopsticks.

In the end, everyone was full of praise and said it was enjoyable!

The clear soup can be eaten by children and women, and the red soup is basically eaten by men. This hot pot meal is very novel, opening a door to a new world of gourmet food!

Seeing everyone's performance, Nian Xiaomi was completely relieved.

He is full of confidence in opening a hot pot restaurant in the future!

Nian Xiaomi had been greeting everyone all the time, but suddenly saw the courtyard door outside being pushed open.

It was Yan Gui who walked in with his daughter-in-law Cuilan...

Cuilan looked a little ugly when she saw a roomful of people eating happily.

"Nian Xiaomi, we are related anyway, how come we don't know how to invite brother and sister-in-law when there is a banquet?"

Some people have really thick skins!

If you were an ordinary person, you would have no face to come here for food.

Yan Mo was about to get angry when Nian Xiaomi stopped him.

He wants to see what's wrong with the two of them.

With a faint smile, he pulled two benches and let them sit down, and asked Xiaoyong to bring two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Cuilan looked at the dishes on the table and said disdainfully:

"Xiaomi, we all know that your family is rich now, but how can you be so stingy? Look at what this is? Not even a stew! How shabby! You are not afraid of attracting gossip from the villagers? Tsk tsk tsk ..."

Ouch my dear mother!

Cuilan once again refreshed Nian Xiaomi's three views.

Before he could refute, Xie Yongqiang's wife was unwilling.

"She Cuilan, everyone is very satisfied with this hot pot, if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it!"

Nian Xiaomi's eyeballs rolled!

Suddenly remembered the dregs of the soup, smiled and said:

"If Cuilan doesn't feel full, I'll order you a new dish."

Nian Xiaomi went into the kitchen, scooped up the remaining bones and fish meat from the soup, didn't bother to go back to the pot, poured some sauce and served it directly.

But before leaving the kitchen, he took two bites into it.

Seeing the meat served, Cuilan's face became better.

Seeing Yan Gui and his wife devouring their food, Nian Xiaomi smiled.

He didn't talk about business until they were full.

What he wanted to say had been held in his stomach for a long time, and it had to be resolved.

It just so happened that the two came to the door today, in front of so many people.

"How does it taste? Then eat it, let's get down to business!"

Yan Gui gritted his teeth and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

Nian Xiaomi said two words coldly: "The ancestral house!"
