Ye Xusheng has never been a foody person. He likes roasted chicken and roasted meat, and he doesn't dislike pancakes and pickles either.
I have never smelled the aroma of a dish and couldn't help but secretly swallow my saliva.
Really, the smell was so alluring that even Ye Xusheng, who had always been calm, couldn't control it anymore. He couldn't embarrass himself in front of Xin'er.
"This boiled pork slices is spicy and delicious. Uncle Zhang must like it very much. I sent it to you while it was still hot to avoid it becoming cold and unpalatable."
"Okay, cousin, go ahead and I'll make the pickled fish."
He Xiner couldn't stand the taste. If she left it without sending it away, she would have to eat it to her heart's content.
So, Ye Xusheng put the sea bowl into a large pottery jar, covered the mouth of the jar, picked it up steadily, and went to Zhang's house in a hurry with the wind at his feet.
"What are you holding?"
Zhang Dongqiang was not surprised that he came to the door at this time. When he saw him holding a big jar, he knew he was delivering food.
"Xin'er has just made the boiled pork slices. Uncle Zhang and Dong Qiang can try it while it's hot. There will be roast chicken, rabbit, and pickled fish later. You two, don't start the fire anymore."
"Why are you still delivering dishes one by one?"
"Hey, I put it there and the fragrance is spreading out. I can't help it..."
While chatting and laughing, Ye Xusheng had already opened the jar, carefully took out the sea bowl inside, and ran all the way without spilling any soup.
“It’s spicy and spicy, and it’s refreshing when you smell it!”
Zhang Tieniu liked the spicy flavor the most, and he couldn't help but praise it when he smelled it.
"You guys eat first. The pickled fish is already in the pot. I'll go home and get it."
After saying that, he picked up the big jar and ran away.
"Hey, is this silly boy ever so unstable?"
"Ha ha……"
It is not difficult to make pickled fish. Once the soup is ready, the taste will be the same.
He Xiner stir-fried the sauerkraut with red pepper and pepper, then added the fish head and fish tail and boiled them in water for about a quarter of an hour. She took them out with a strainer and put them in a ceramic basin. A piece of fish plus a sauerkraut was really a bit chewy.
If there is too much, it can only be contained in a basin.
Roll the submerged fish fillets in the hot soup, take them out, and add the soup.
Heat oil in a pan, add dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and white sesame seeds, and pour it hot on the pickled fish, and this dish is ready.
Just after it was finished, I went to deliver the roast chicken to Zhang's house, and Ye Xusheng from Spicy Rabbit opened the door and walked in.
"Cousin, have you set the time?"
"Is the pickled fish ready?"
"Um."
“It’s sour, spicy, and smells good.”
So, Ye Xusheng didn't mind the trouble and went to Zhang's house again with a piece of cotton cloth and a tightly covered ceramic basin.
After a lot of work, it was time to make New Year's Eve dinner. The two of them had gained experience and could cook quickly. Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, lighting the fire, and guarding the oven were all handled by Ye Xusheng, while He Xiner only held the spoon.
The two of them were busy talking and laughing without feeling tired. It felt like it had only been twilight outside for a while.
There was a bright stove in the kitchen, but He Xiner and the others didn't notice it for a while.
It was Mrs. Wang who opened the door and came in from the outside. The two of them turned around and saw the gray sky outside.
“Smells so good.”
"Mom, are the dumplings ready?"
"Well, they're all freezing outside. We'll put them away later."
Ye Xusheng took the chopping board from Wang's hand in the morning, opened the thick curtain and went into the inner room, placing it next to the cupboard.
"Put away the basins and vegetable basins so that you can prepare the meal."
"My mother and I are together."
As she spoke, He Xiner threw a piece of firewood into the kitchen hall, then clapped her hands and stood up, about to leave with Mrs. Wang.
Wang, however, stood still.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Your third uncle is back. He will make your father very angry and make him kneel in the yard. I'll talk to you two first, and be careful not to say the wrong thing."
He Xiner and Ye Xusheng looked at each other and nodded in agreement. This chapter has been completed!
