Su Zi glanced at the dustpan in her hand and said, "Grandma, are the strawberries dried?"

"It's done, it's done. The star anise is also done. The sweet peppers are all put in sacks. I was just saying, do you still need this? If you don't, I will put it away."

"Is it done? I need to use some. If the vegetables haven't been fried yet, I'll fry them. I'll make something different for you today."

Su Ziling thought that the timing was just right, and the grass, fruit and star anise were dry, so she should stir-fry the hot pot base ingredients at once, otherwise she would go to the county tomorrow and not know when she would come back to stir-fry.

"You want to fry? Okay!" Su A'nai didn't even hesitate.

The spices are prepared in advance, she just needs to fry them directly.

She looked around the kitchen and saw that there were pig's feet, pig's head, two pounds of pork belly, braised pork intestines, Su A'nai and even a stewed chicken, which was just right for making soup.

That is, there are a few vegetarian vegetables. He took a basket and asked Su Zizhong to take Li Zelan to dig out some folded ear roots, and pick some water coriander and water celery by the way. The green vegetables grown by Su A's milk can also be eaten. Pick more and come back. , the shabu-shabu is also delicious.

She first melted the lacquer seed oil in a pot, and added a jar of pork. After the oil was hot, she added star anise, grass fruit, amomum villosum, wood ginger seeds, pepper, bay leaves, green onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, etc. Put it in a frying pan and slowly fry it until it becomes fragrant, then take it out when it is dry.

She used wild onions for onions, wild garlic for garlic, and Lao Burmese coriander for coriander, which have a richer flavor than those grown at home.

After frying, take it out, add the glutinous rice cake and pepper, and simmer slowly until the water in the pepper is almost dry, then start adding spices.

She ground the grass fruits, star anise, Amomum villosum, and Sichuan peppercorns into powder. When they were almost fried, she added a little more sugar and white wine, and finally put in the dried peppers and bay leaves, and finally started filling the jars.

She asked Su's father to buy the jar a few days ago. It was very small, and a jar of hot pot base ingredients was almost enough for a meal.

After scooping out the hot pot base ingredients, she added some pepper root powder to it to make the aroma even stronger.

After frying, she poured the chicken soup from the gong pot into the large pot and rinsed out the oil and base ingredients in the shabu-shabu pot.

The cooked soup was red, and she poured it back into the big gong pot. The chicken soup was not poured out all at once. There was still some left in the small gong pot. You could add more when the soup was gone.

The gong pot was cooking on the fire pit, and she started to cut the taro and meat. The taro was put down to cook first, and then she cut a pot of pig head meat and fat intestines, and also cut the pork belly.

The pig's feet were cooked directly in the pot. She also cut a plate of chayote, went to the backyard to pull out a handful of coriander, and pulled out some fresh purslane.

When Su Zizhong's food came back, the family started to eat.

More than a dozen people surrounded the fire pit, each holding a bowl of rice and starting to cook the hot pot.

The kohlrabi roots and pig's trotters were put in advance, and they are already raked before eating. Especially the braised pork intestines and braised pig head meat, which are already soft and raked, are raked in lacquered oil hot pot, and the taste becomes more intense.

The white and clean kohlrabi roots were boiled to a pulp, as were the chayote. She cut them into slices and they were already cooked within a short time of putting them down.

The lacquer oil is inherently fragrant, and she added so many spices, and the soup base is still chicken soup. This whole pot of soup is fragrant and spicy. It is the first time for Shiba and the others to eat such spicy food, and their foreheads are The sweat dripped down drop by drop.

Their lips were red from the spicy food, but everyone was reluctant to put down their chopsticks. Seeing the three of them sweating profusely, their faces flushed, and their lips trembling, Su Ziling suggested: "You must not be used to such spicy food. There is also clear soup there." , can I change the bottom of the soup pot for you?"

"Need not!"

The three of them refused in unison.

"How can clear soup not be as enjoyable as this one? You have to eat spicy food. You'll get used to it!"

Seeing them like this, Su Ziling stopped caring, "Grandma, how are you? Can you still eat?"

"I'm fine, the spiciness is just right."

The same goes for Axiu. Although her face was a little red, she didn't break out a drop of sweat. The people of the old Su family also worked hard.

After cooking, Su Ziling also added kohlrabi roots and leaves. The most popular ones are the braised pork sausage and pork head, which are already delicious. When cooked in a lacquered hot pot, it becomes even more fragrant and even more fragrant. The same goes for taro, which is very delicious when raked and sanded, and has a creamy and dense texture.

What she ate the most was the fern cake. She fried two pieces of fern cake, cut them into slices and poured them into the hot pot. The cooked fern cake was soft and glutinous, crystal clear when picked up, and full of elasticity.

After eating this hot pot meal, Mr. Su has become more determined to grow more taro next year. This taro feels much more delicious than sweet potatoes.

This meal refreshed the knowledge of Shiba and the three of them. They had never eaten such delicious food. Although it was very spicy, the more they ate, the more delicious it became. The spicier the food, the more they wanted to eat it!

The three of them ate and drank enough, and sat slumped on the chairs, thinking to themselves, their monthly money seemed not enough to eat, right?

The three of them dug into their wallets and each took a tael of silver to Su Ziling.

Su Ziling was stunned, "This..."

I thought to myself, that shouldn’t be the case. Could it be that he was being burned?

So you can’t stand it anymore and you have to resign?

"You guys quit?"

As soon as she said these words, the three of them were so frightened that they stood up suddenly.

I thought: Is this because they eat too much, so I want to fire them?

"Girl, let's eat less in the future, don't drive us away!"

Su Ziling blinked, "I didn't drive you away."

"Gah?" Shiba was stunned, "Then you just said..."

Su Ziling: "Didn't you withdraw the money and say you quit?"

The three of them shook their heads and said, "Go ahead!" For this meal, they had to pay for it. Anyway, in addition to what Su Ziling gave them, they would also be given monthly money, although it was pitiful.

Shiba looked serious, "This is food money!"

Su Ziling: "..."

No, are there any people who work for others and pay for food?

She returned the money and said, "We agreed that food and accommodation would be one to two and a half dollars a month, but there was no food expense."

Shiba scratched his head, "We have a big appetite and can eat. Your food is so good. If we go to a restaurant to eat, three taels of silver a month will not be enough. We are afraid that your family will be ruined by the three of us."

Qingjiu and Twenty stepped aside, the meaning in their eyes was clear, it's you, not us!
