Chapter 575: Shabu-shabu Hot Pot
Finally all the ingredients are ready.
Zhou Guo shouted excitedly: "It's time to eat!"
A group of people came out of the house, happily serving dishes, carrying pots, and moving charcoal, and they were very busy.
Rich chicken broth poured into a copper pot.
Add carbon inside.
Zhou Gu suddenly realized, "So this hole is used to store carbon. I thought it was used for something else. This copper pot is really good. It actually has its own stove."
Zhou Guo brought the prepared bowls and placed one in front of each person.
Everyone looked at this gray and sticky thing with some disgust, "What is this?"
Zhou Guo said, "It's sesame paste, made with crushed peanuts, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic juice, and a few drops of honey. You can try it. If you don't like it, just don't eat it."
She likes it anyway.
Everyone is doubtful.
The old man picked up the bowl, smelled it, dipped his chopsticks in it and tasted it, then nodded. It tasted good and fragrant.
Zhou Dacang didn't even listen. He put the bowl in front of him and waited with chopsticks.
Before the soup boiled, Zhou Guo threw in several ingredients, including tofu, shiitake mushrooms, pine mushrooms, kelp, and prawns.
Without fresh shrimps, you can’t make shrimp balls, but eating dry ones is also good.
It was almost noon now, and usually people would have had their meal by this time.
When they were hungry in the morning, they would drink tea and dare not eat any snacks, for fear that they would eat too much and would not have room for delicious food. Everyone was very hungry at this time.
The old man couldn't wait, so he picked up a piece of ginger and ate it first. He kept nodding his head while it was wrapped in sesame paste, and said "hmm" without saying a word.
But there is no need to explain this attitude. Even the ginger is so delicious, so I wonder how delicious the meat must be.
After waiting for a long time for the soup to boil, Zhou Guo put the beef rolls in. After they changed color after being blanched for a while, he scooped them out, wrapped them in sesame paste, and put them in his mouth.
The food was delicious and he sighed. The old man had already started eating.
Seeing this, others quickly put down the meat and ate it.
Pick up two pieces, blanch them in the soup for a while, then coat them with plenty of sesame paste. You will be impressed by it in one bite.
Li took a bite and said, "No wonder you were swallowing your saliva before going to bed last night. So this is the taste."
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I think I will have to swallow my saliva tonight as well."
Zhou Guo didn't have time to talk, and threw away half the plate of meat rolls.
Zhou Dacang couldn’t help but close his eyes after taking a bite. What kind of divine way of eating is this? How could the meat be so tender and fragrant?
Half a plate of meat was gone in the blink of an eye with just one chopstick per person.
After eating three plates of meat rolls in a row, Zhou Guo started to eat meat slices. Although the meat slices were not as tender as the meat rolls, they were also very delicious, much more tender and more fragrant than usual!
After eating three plates of meat rolls and three plates of meat slices, everyone started to eat other dishes.
Zhou Guo ate a piece of tofu. The tofu was not coated with sesame paste, but it was already full of flavors, including meat, mushrooms and salt, and was no worse than meat.
I picked up another big shrimp. Dried shrimps are not as tender as fresh shrimps, and the meat is a bit dry. However, it is not bad. After all, it is still a shrimp.
You can eat carrots, radish, and kelp, especially the kelp, which is crispy, soft, and a little sticky. It’s perfect for a snowy day!
The flower mushrooms, pine mushrooms and pine mushrooms are also ready.
These things taste better the more they are cooked.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
The meal took half an hour, and in the end, everyone drank half a bowl of the soup in the pot. This was chicken soup, and the soup from an old hen was so delicious.
Zhou Guo burped and thought he didn’t cut enough meat, so he went to cut a few more plates. This meal was really enjoyable!
The old man picked his teeth with a bamboo stick and leaned back contentedly. He still had to eat hot pot in winter. He had not eaten it for many years and had forgotten that there was such a good thing.
Zhou Dacang sighed, "I eat so well in the house, how can I survive in the military camp?"
Zhou Guo said, "Uncle, it's okay. When you leave, take this pot with you, and also a large can of sesame paste. When you get to the military camp and have nothing to do, you can go out hunting and hunt deer, or lamb or something from the grassland. You don't have to keep roasting them. You can just cook them in the pot."
Everyone gave him advice, "You can also bring peanuts, garlic cloves, flower mushrooms, pine mushrooms, kelp, and other things."
"You can bring the seasonings too. Once you get to the camp, you just have to go out and find the meat yourself."
Zhou Dacang laughed and said, "If you don't know, you might think I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm going to fight. How can I carry all these things? Can the horses carry them?"
Zhou Guo said, "I didn't ask you to bring meat. These things don't take up space. When there's no war, don't you find some fun and eat a snack? Then how can you go out hunting?"
Zhou Dacang was speechless.
After dinner, Zhou Guo went to the farm. She had to check out the sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms. Although it was very cold and many species died, many species survived the most difficult period and tenaciously managed to survive.
It is worth mentioning that almost half of the sheep mushrooms that were covered with only some hay in the open air survived, which surprised her. With these, she believes that she will be able to cultivate more cold-resistant varieties year after year.
After all, she couldn't bear to let those things in the straw hut fend for themselves, so she removed the brazier and then lit it again two days later, just as a comparison experiment.
Wu Jiang worked enthusiastically forward and backward without asking why. He just did whatever Zhou Guo said.
After looking at the sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms, I noticed the two brothers, Fat and Fat, following behind me, and waved to them to come forward.
The two brothers stepped forward happily, "Young Master!"
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded, "How is it, are you used to living here?"
Da Pang said quickly, "I'm used to it. I'm used to it. Everyone is very nice. The chief steward and the second chief steward are also very nice. My brothers, sisters and aunts are also very nice. It's like home."
Er Pang said: "The aunts also said that they would make shoes for us. They would only make shoes for us when my mother was still alive. The aunts are like my mother."
All the children behind Wu Jiang were laughing. They were also orphans who were taken in by the young master.
We live together, eat together, work together, if there is anything delicious, each family will bring some, and if there are any difficulties, everyone will work together.
Whenever there is any heavy work in Feizhuang, they are always available.
But when they wanted to make clothes, shoes and socks, the aunts made them quietly without saying a word.
Dozens of people get along like a family.
To Zhou Guofeng, she was like a god. If she said to go east, they would never go west.
The two brothers felt at home here. Although they signed a contract to sell themselves and became servants, the life of servants like them was better than that of ordinary poor farmers. They even had meat last night.
Since their parents died, the two of them only ate meat yesterday. The chicken was given by Zhou Guo, and the big piece of fat meat in the evening was arranged by the chief steward.
Zhou Guo saw that they looked much better than yesterday. They had washed up and their faces and hands looked much better. Some of them had scars all over their bodies, which were caused by frostbite.
