Hearing Zhou Yu's voice, the three of them looked at the entrance of the courtyard at the same time, and saw Yin Jian and Wu Lang carrying large and small bags behind Zhou Yu.
"My daughter is back. Why did she buy these older dishes today?"
"It's okay if you don't have to sit around at home. Let's have hot pot as a family at noon."
The family has cooked hot pot before, but they have been too busy this year and haven't done it yet. When my daughter talked about Zhou Bang, she was a little greedy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's have hot pot today."
But after saying that, Zhou Bang remembered that King An couldn't eat spicy food.
"But my dear, Prince An cannot eat spicy food."
"I know, dad, I will open another table for the prince when the time comes."
Zhou Yu only paid attention to eating, but he was not so particular about the tools used for cooking. Especially in ancient times, making hot pot pots was particularly troublesome, so in the end Zhou Yu stopped cooking and bought two pots on the street.
One mouthful is larger and the other is smaller. When eating hot pot, pour the charcoal on the larger pot, put the smaller one on top, and the whole family eats it directly around the hotpot.
When I went out on the street today, I considered that An Wang couldn't eat spicy food, and his pot didn't have a mandarin duck pot, so Zhou Yu bought two more small pots, which were enough for An Wang alone.
Hearing that the father and daughter wanted to eat hot pot, King An and Duke Zhen thought for a while, why they had never heard of hot pot before, but they both wanted to save face and were too embarrassed to ask, so they had to pretend to eat them. Act like you don't care.
Zhou Yu didn't care when he saw the appearance of the two of them. After saying hello, he went to the kitchen to get ready.
Ye'er also came in to help. They washed, rinsed, and chopped, and soon all the side dishes for hot pot were ready.
In another pot, a large pot of bone soup was cooked early.
Zhou Yu took out the cloth bag with spices at home, opened the paper bags inside one by one, took some and started frying the hot pot base.
In fact, the hot pot base is not difficult to make, but it uses a lot of spices. In ancient times, the poor could not afford so many spices to make it. Most of the rich people like An Wang paid attention to health and did not covet food and drink. I really can't do it.
There were more than twenty kinds of spices put in. As soon as the spices were put in the pot, the smell wafted out from the stove.
When Duke Zhen Guo smelled the food, he knew it would be delicious without having to guess. But when King An smelled the food, he felt his throat was uncomfortable and his nose was choked. The smell was too strong.
After getting ready, two tables, one large and one small, were placed in the kitchen. The small table had two stools for King An and Duke Zheng. While doing this, Zhou Yu remembered that Duke Zhen was not injured yet. Okay, I can’t eat it too spicy, but I can eat it with King An.
The two of them were not dealing with each other originally, but now they were arranged to sit at the same table again. The Zhou family was even more troublesome when they were not there.
The soup on the Zhou family's side was already boiling. Zhou Yu poured some hard-to-cook side dishes into the pot, and then picked up a chopstick.
Zhou Yan was also very curious about eating hot pot for the first time. He imitated Zhou Yu and used chopsticks to pick up a piece of tripe and put it into the pot to rinse, and then dipped it in some dipping sauce.
As soon as you take the hairy tripe into your mouth, the aroma fills your taste buds. It is so fragrant.
You must know that Zhou Yan used to run a restaurant, and his mouth has been cultivated for a long time. Now there are not many things that can make him feel delicious.
"Yu'er, this hot pot is good. You can put it in a restaurant. It will definitely sell well."
"Brother, if you think it's good, I'll write you the recipe later, and then I'll draw a pot for you. You can ask the blacksmith to make it and try it. Our pot is too simple and doesn't look good."
Zhou Yan thought so.
"Yu'er is still thoughtful."
The couple had eaten hot pot before. Needless to say, Zhou Yu picked up his favorite dishes and ate them in the hot pot.
The Zhou family was enjoying the food here, but the table where King An and Duke Zhen ate smelled like gunpowder.
King An went to pick up the tripe, and the duke of the town also went to do it. The two caught a piece of tripe at the same time, but neither of them gave in. In the end, no one took the piece of tripe, and it fell to the ground and went into the mouths of the two tigers.
King An:…….
Duke Zhen Guo:…….
The hot pot on their table was really unappetizing. The soup in the pot was watery and the dipping sauce was only slightly spicy, making it not satisfying at all.
But who told them that one of them couldn't eat spicy food and the other was injured, and they were too embarrassed to sit at the Zhou family's table, so they could only watch.
Nothing happened today. It gets dark early in winter, so the Zhou family's hot pot table took almost an hour to finish. As for the remaining soup base, I didn't waste it. I poured out all the remaining side dishes and cooked them. This is Dinner for the two tiger girls tonight.
Of course, these are not enough, and some rice must be mixed in.
The two tiger girls are now eating better than the servants of the Zhou family. Some of the servants are naturally unhappy and feel that the dogs they eat are not as good as them.
But just thinking about it in my heart, to be honest, the food in the Prince's Palace is really not bad, and it is good for their servants. It is not like other houses where they just eat cabbage and tofu.
Take the hot pot that the Zhou family had today. There are now more than twenty servants in Zhuangzi. Wu and Deng’s mother and son cooked it in one pot, and put them together in the middle. Whoever eats them Just pick it up and the servants will eat it very deliciously.
I was happy today. Zhou Yu accidentally drank too much. He was lying in bed and dreaming about Yu Zheng at night. He dreamed that the two of them got married and had two children a few years later, but later Yu Zheng fell in love with her. Others, after the two separated, she took the child back home.
Zhou Yu didn't even feel like she looked like herself because of her miserable appearance in the dream. It was so strange. How could she have such a dream?
In the dream, she looked nothing like herself. She was just a complete doormat. No matter how Zhang treated her, she always acted submissively, which made her almost vomit blood.
However, in the dream, their family did not become county kings. It was because they got married after she rescued Yu Zheng, but there were not so many things that happened later.
When she woke up in the morning, Zhou Yu was still recalling the scene in her dream. It was strange, it was so strange. How could she have such a dream?
Zhou Yu didn't think about it, so he didn't think about it. However, in his dream, he saw Yu Zheng falling in love with someone else and being separated from him, which still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But how could it be possible? In modern times, couples who can't get along are often divorced. She used to think that if they couldn't get along, this would be the best outcome for the couple. Since they couldn't get along, why would they be forced to stay together? But now why? She feels a little uncomfortable. Is it because she was so miserable in the dream?
Zhou Yu was just thinking about something when he heard a lot of noise coming from the yard. Suspicious, he got up and went out to check, and heard Ye'er say that King An and Zheng Guozheng were packing their things and planning to return to the city.
What happened?
