I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

Chapter 108 Copper Hot Pot

Qining particularly likes to do this. His fun in the morning is to look for eggs in the yard and see where they have been laid.

So they gave him this important task.

After a while, Qi Ning came into the kitchen holding two eggs.

"Guess where I found it?"

Since he asked that, it definitely wasn’t in the chicken coop.

Xu Si took the two eggs, washed them with water, and then responded, "In the doghouse?"

Qi Ning shook his head, "No."

Oh, I guessed wrong. It seems that even though they were huddled together, Big Yellow and Little White still couldn't completely gain the trust of the hens.

"Then where is the firewood?" Su Jinyue wiped Qi Ning's hands with a cloth. If she didn't wipe them, they always smelled like chicken shit.

The reason I guess this is that there have been such incidents before.

That day, Qi Ning couldn't find the hens, so he kept following them, observing where they went, and finally found them on the firewood.

After getting it, he didn't pay attention to his feet and was tripped by a scattered firewood. When he fell, he did not forget to protect the egg and raised his hands high.

They also came out after hearing the sound. When they saw this scene, they were nervous at first, and then amused.

Qi Ning still shook his head.

"Where is that?"

"In that broken jar in the corner."

A new place was discovered, and the little guy was extremely excited, as if he had expanded a new map.

After hearing this, Xu Si knew that it was the one she used to make soap before.

Some parts of the edges have fallen off and are not as sharp as they used to be. Otherwise, I would have to worry about scratching the hen.

The noodles in the pot were almost cooked. Xu Si beat the eggs into a bowl and stirred them evenly, then slowly poured them into the pot. Finally, he sprinkled some chopped green onions and drizzled some sesame oil. The pot smelled delicious.

After slurping down a bowl of this, which includes both soup and staple food, all the coldness in the body seems to be driven away.

The crowd came to the shop in the snow, leaving footprints along the way, which were slowly covered by the snow.

Xu Si decided to provide guests with some free soup starting today, alternating between egg soup and bone soup.

The cost is not much, but it can make the guests feel their thoughtfulness.

After thinking about it, he asked Lou Yuexin to write a notice, stating that if anyone was having difficulty in life or was tired from traveling, they could come in and drink soup for free, and consider it as a good deed.

The bone soup is freshly cooked in the morning. Everyone is very simple and honest. No one takes out the big bones inside. They are still there at night. This is a snack unique to Dahuang and Xiaobai.

She remembered that she had seen a news report about two students who took out a large bone from the free soup served at school.

Some netizens joked that they had poached the "canteen manager".

We don’t know if it’s true, but anyone who dares to take it must be very brave.

Compared to when they were first adopted, the two dogs have changed a lot. Although Xiaobai is still small, he has grown as big as Dahuang, with shiny fur. Everyone who sees them has to praise them as good dogs.

The owner of the tavern didn't expect that Dahuang would have the change he has today, and he regretted not adopting him himself.

He also suggested that he and Xu Si buy one of them to use as guardhouse.

Before she could refuse, Qi Ning immediately put his arms around the two dogs, as if they were determined to live and die together. The tavern owner tactfully stopped talking about it.

By the time the snow melted, the weather had obviously become another degree colder.

In response to everyone's request, Xu Si made mutton spine hotpot again, but this time they didn't have to eat around the stove. She used a copper pot that she had custom-made.

Put the charcoal fire below and the vegetables on top, and Qi Ning can reach them easily.

It is said that the copper pot was invented by Heshen. On Emperor Qianlong's 60th birthday, he had a sudden idea to invite 1000 elderly people over 60 years old to have a meal in the square of the palace to celebrate his birthday with him. This meal was called the Banquet for a Thousand Old Men.

This matter was assigned to Heshen. Considering that the banquet was scheduled for the first month of the lunar year, it would be very dangerous for the old man if the food was eaten outside because it would get cold. He racked his brains to think of how to keep the food hot while preventing the old man from catching a cold.

So he added a chimney on his own pot and a stove underneath, and designed an all-in-one copper hot pot.

Unfortunately, many elderly people still died at the Banquet of a Thousand Elders. After all, it was winter and they were exhausted from the long journey.

The familiar smell swept through the entire store again, but the customer still refused to give up, "Are you really not selling this?"

"I can pay a little more, can I buy it?"

"Yeah, this smells so good. If you don't want to sell it, let us see it."

"Yes, let's take a look."

Shen Anyi was a little confused. How did they go from asking if they could sell it to asking if they could watch it? But everyone said they wanted to see it, and it would be bad for him to keep refusing.

After hearing this, Xu Si said, "Okay, let's show them."

It was not a big deal. She put some of the cooked lamb ribs into the pot and took it out.

A guest shouted, "Hurry up and make room for Miss Xu."

"Come here, I'm done eating."

After it was served, the flavor became even stronger.

Qian, the yamen runner, smelled this odor when he was on duty at the yamen. He ran straight here after his shift. As soon as he entered the shop, he saw a group of people gathered together. He stood silently at the outside.

"What kind of pot is this? Why does it have a bulge on it?" a customer asked curiously.

Xu Si explained, "This is called a copper hot pot. Let me show you how it works."

I put some charcoal underneath, the smoke came out from the top, and soon the lamb ribs began to boil.

Seeing that everyone was reluctant to leave, Xu Si felt helpless. "Everyone, you can see that we only have so many lamb ribs, and we can't share them with everyone. How about I put some potatoes in and cook them for everyone to taste?"

"Okay, okay, it's good to be able to try it. We won't be picky."

Xu Si used his clothes to accurately find Shen Anyi in the crowd, "Dad, go ask Xiaoyu to cut more potato chips."

Soon, he brought over a large bowl of potato chips, and everyone made way for him until he reached Xu Si.

The potato slices were cut very thinly and cooked in a few seconds. Everyone took their own slice in an orderly manner.

"That's great. If the potatoes are so delicious, then the lamb ribs must be even more delicious."

"Miss Xu, are you really not considering selling this?"

Xu Si still felt a little pressured under everyone's attention, "Let's think about it."

After getting a satisfactory answer, the guests gradually left, but Qian the yamen runner did not leave.

"Uncle Qian," Xu Si greeted him.

The servant Qian nodded and said, "If you sell this, remember to tell me, and I will bring my family over to eat it."

In fact, there is no need to tell him, he can smell it.

"Okay," seeing that he was staring at the pot, Xu Si said hurriedly, "By the way, here are a few pieces of lamb ribs, Uncle Qian, take them away and try them."

"How embarrassing."

Although he said this, he stood still. This was the first time he was so shameless, but it really smelled good.

Xu Si found a lunch box and packed it for him. The two chatted for a few more words, and then Qian the yamen servant took the food and prepared to go home.
