Chapter 320 Yuanyang Hot Pot

Mrs. Qiao disliked the noise made by these grandchildren and sent them back to play with the rabbits.

The little guys thanked her obediently, put the gold leaves and golden melon seeds in their grandmother's hands, and then retreated to the corner.

Butler Zhou said enviously: "Sister, how many sons and grandchildren do you have? It's really enviable."

Mrs. Qiao smiled and said without hiding anything from them:

"I have four sons. Except for the eldest son who had an accident a few years ago when he went boating with others, I still have three sons with me, but today they all went to open up wasteland in Devil's Valley. I have six grandsons and two granddaughters. , Ranran is my eldest granddaughter, she has always taken care of her younger brothers and sisters, and is a good eldest sister that they respect."

Butler Zhou and Butler Zheng didn't expect that Mrs. Qiao's grandchildren were not just the ones in the tent, and they immediately became even more envious.

How happy is it to have descendants all over the house?

"Old sister, you are so lucky! With so many children and grandchildren, it seems that your family's tutoring is much better than that of other families. In the future, you will definitely be able to train a few promising children who will shine on your family and let you live a prosperous life in your later years. It’s a good and prosperous life!”

"Yes, let's not talk about anything else. This girl Qiao is really the smartest and most capable girl I have ever seen! You see, at such a young age, she can make money by cooperating with one of the top restaurants in the capital. ! Oh, I really envy you for having such a great granddaughter!"

Butler Zheng and Butler Zhou envied Mrs. Qiao from the bottom of their hearts.

Speaking of which, the two masters' houses were sparsely populated and deserted. They envied the Qiao family's large number of children and grandchildren. The laughter and laughter of the little children made the house lively!

I really hope that I can take advantage of the popularity of the Qiao family and let my master spread his wings when I go back. They really like to take care of babies!

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao also looked at her eldest granddaughter who was discussing the content of the agreement with Shopkeeper Chen, and smiled proudly: "Yes, our old Qiao family is so virtuous that we can have such a good eldest granddaughter. This It’s God who is blessing my Qiao family!”

The three of them talked for a while, and the agreement between Qiao Ran and Shopkeeper Chen was already drawn up and signed.

Chen Huiniang, Lin Guizhen and Mrs. Qin also brought all the processed ingredients into the tent and placed them on the "table".

Pork, fish, rabbit meat chopped into small pieces, chicken, chicken blood, fish balls, as well as cleanly washed mushrooms, fungus, winter bamboo shoots, yams, cabbage, lettuce, lettuce, Radishes, beans, mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts, peanut sprouts, etc. made by Chen Huiniang herself, as well as several dishes of fragrant sesame oil.

There were so many ingredients that a "table" made of wooden boards couldn't fit in. The Qian Shitou family next door also took the initiative to lend their own "table" to the Qiao family.

Looking at the two tables full of raw meat and lettuce, the two butlers and the shopkeeper looked at each other, how are they going to eat this?

At this time, Chen Huiniang came over carrying a hot pot with charcoal in her hands and placed it in the middle of the table.

I saw that one side of the stove was boiling with golden old turkey soup, and the other half was red soup with pieces of red pepper floating on it.

The two butlers and the shopkeeper, who had already tasted the spicy dishes, couldn't help but swallow their saliva when looking at the red soup base.

Qiao Ran invited everyone to come to the table. There were several "stools" placed beside the table. They were actually sections of round wood that had just been cut with a chainsaw in the past few days. They were padded with a piece of rabbit fur, which made them comfortable to sit on without getting cold on the buttocks.

Now several men and young men from the Qiao family have gone to guard the isolation zone. Only Mrs. Qiao, Chen Huiniang, Lin Guizhen, and Mrs. Qin are left in the tent, along with Qiao Ran, Qiao Xi, Qiao Bei, and Qiao. Xing, Qiao Yue, Xiao Ba and Xiao An'er.

Farmers don't pay attention to different tables for men and women. It's just that sometimes when guests come, men sit at the same table to drink, while women and children sit at the same table to eat and chat.

Now the conditions did not allow it, so both the host and the guest sat at the table together, regardless of gender.

Seven adults plus Qiao Ran occupied exactly eight seats, while several other children and two coachmen were holding their rice bowls, standing or sitting around to eat.

Everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran picked up a piece of pork with serving chopsticks, blanched it in the clear soup for more than ten seconds, and then put it into grandma's bowl.

He said to others: "That's it. Put the dish you want to eat into clear soup or spicy soup and blanch it for more than ten seconds. Eat it immediately after it is blanched. The main thing is freshness."

After saying that, she motioned for everyone to start eating too.

Housekeeper Zhou had been coveting the chili soup base for a long time. He immediately put a piece of rabbit meat into the soup. After it was cooked, he didn't even bother to burn his mouth. He chewed it while sucking in the air-conditioning, his face full of tears. with a satisfied look on his face.

Butler Zheng and Shopkeeper Chen didn't give in too much. They ate it freely and even put it in the spicy soup.

Chen Huiniang, Lin Guizhen, and Mrs. Qin helped the children boil some meat and vegetables. Most of them were in clear soup, but some of the little ones insisted on trying the red soup base.

As a result, each one of them was so spicy that they hissed like puppies, sticking out their tongues and sucking in the cold air. They couldn't suppress the spicy taste in their tongues even after drinking several large gulps of cold water, but they still wanted to eat. The adults didn't dare to let them anymore. It's spicy.

This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host. It was not only the first time for the Qiao family to eat such hot pot, they were sweating all over.

Housekeeper Zhou and several others also had round stomachs after eating, sweating on their heads, even though they took off their hats and cloaks, they still felt warm all over.

"It's cool! It's so cool! This hot pot tastes much better than those cooked dishes! It tastes more delicious, and it's much more convenient. You can boil whatever you want, and eat as much as you want. How much is it hot? Well, this is really a strange and interesting dish!"

Shopkeeper Chen touched his round belly and couldn't help but admire it.

Butler Zheng also admired his young lady's savior very much. He really didn't expect that this girl was not only kind-hearted, but also so smart that she could come up with so many novel dishes.

"It's winter, and the cooked food tends to get cold. But when you eat hot pot, you don't have to worry about the food getting cold. The whole family can sit around the pot and eat the food. It's really good!"

Butler Zheng thought to himself that he must report this novel discovery to his master when he goes back, and ask his master to ask shopkeeper Chen or Miss Qiao for some hot pot pots so that they can cook hot pot like this in the house.

Butler Zhou is even thinking that when the master comes back, he must immediately take the master to Juxian Building to try this hot pot. The master will definitely like it!

The three of them had different thoughts, and they all wished they could have a good relationship with Qiao Ran, and let them know about more novel dishes or new things in the future as soon as possible.

After eating and drinking, the three of them took the carriage back to the city.

It's just that their stomachs were too full, and the mountain road was extremely difficult to walk. It was so bumpy that they almost vomited out all the delicious food in their stomachs that had not yet had time to digest.

The three of them couldn't bear to part with the delicious food they had just eaten, so they had to get off the carriage and walk slowly along the long mountain road.

Shopkeeper Chen took away the cooperation contract signed with Qiao Ran and the design drawings of the Yuanyang Hot Pot, the preparation of hot pot base ingredients and the method of boiling butter. Butler Zhou took away the design drawings of farm tools drawn by Qiao Ran.

After returning to the city, the two of them immediately took action. One hurriedly found someone to build a hot pot furnace, and asked someone to buy old and disabled cows to kill them and make butter.

The other went to his master's blacksmith shop and asked them to hurry up and make a batch of farm tools. If they don't have a day off during the New Year, their monthly silver will be doubled.
