Xiao Nianzhi waited for a long time, and the food was finally ready.
Everyone in the yamen was actually drooling from greed.
Don't worry about the final smell. Anyway, the fragrance that comes out is quite good.
That's right...
It's cold and the smell dissipates quickly, so they need to get closer to smell it more clearly.
However, they were embarrassed to get too close, as if they wanted to take a taste.
Fortunately, noon is here and they can go out to eat.
A colleague with whom I have a good relationship and often have meals together has already gone out together.
There are also some economical colleagues who can use charcoal stoves to heat meals in winter, and they have already warmed up meals quietly.
Everyone was busy with their own business and eating their own food, but there were also some who were curious and quietly looked at Xiao Nianzhi and the others.
Xiao Nianzhi and Chang Shan stood at the door of the warehouse, while Yan Xingxuan was busy inside.
Two guards came out quickly and helped set the table.
It was impossible for them to eat outside on a cold day.
It's still cold in the house even with the charcoal basin in front of me.
This side of the Yamen is not like a palace or the mansions of various dignitaries. It is also covered with floor dragons for daily heating. A charcoal basin is added, which is enough for heating.
On cold days, if you only have a charcoal pot for heating, you need to get closer.
The two guards immediately set the table and then went to help serve the dishes.
The pork ribs are stewed together with the lotus roots. The pork ribs are stewed for enough time to make the ribs look shaky. I always feel that the meat on them will automatically detach with the slightest movement of the chopsticks.
The braised pig's trotters have already been processed once in the house.
Now, it’s a secondary process, so it’s cooked fairly quickly.
At this time, the thick red juice has been poured on it, and some soybeans have been added to make it look even more red and attractive.
Xiao Nianzhi thought it was in good condition.
As for the taste, we need to look at it again.
Since there are two main dishes, the soup is scallop mushroom soup.
The freshness of scallops, paired with the freshness of mushrooms, the combination of the two freshnesses, the magical reaction of the collision between plants and seafood...
Well, I think it smells pretty good.
And, most importantly, it is very light when paired with pork ribs and pork trotters.
The last fried pork with chili peppers, the meat was cut very thin, which was the pinnacle of Yan Xingxuan's knife skills.
Thin slices of meat were rolled in a pan and topped with bright red dried chilies. When it was finally served, Yan Xingxuan added a handful of cooked sesame seeds to enhance the aroma.
Xiao Nianzhi feels...
It should taste good.
No matter what, the spiciness is enough and the meat is fragrant, so this dish is still very suitable for rice.
The white rice is steamed in Laishun.
There was no way, Yan Xingxuan was too busy. Laishun said it was easy for him to do this kind of thing, so he would just do it.
When the rice is served, everyone can start eating directly.
Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan ate together, while Laishun and the others shared a table by themselves.
Yan Xingxuan must have prepared enough, so it would be okay to give them part of it.
For Yan Xingxuan, they are all his own, even if they sit at the same table, it doesn't matter.
That's right...
Not now, don't delay him and think about being alone.
In addition to ribs, pork trotters and stir-fried pork, Yan Xingxuan also made a cold cabbage.
But he felt that his sauce was not well prepared and the taste was average.
I’m not particularly satisfied, but it’s too late to change the dish at short notice.
Just barely, it can still be served on the table.
Four dishes and one soup, served with rice.
Just the right amount for two people.
The pig's trotters are cut into two parts and then carefully braised to add flavor.
At this time, there was only one pig's trotter on the plate on the table.
If you put too much on the table, they won't be able to finish it.
If you eat too much of this food, you will feel sick to your mouth. No matter how delicious it is, it will be difficult for Xiao Nianzhi to eat one at a time.
What's more, there are other dishes.
Moreover, in order to make it easier to eat, Yan Xingxuan carefully cut the pig's trotters before serving.
Nowadays, they are all very small pieces. If it weren't for the bones in the middle, Yan Xingxuan said that he could cut them into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.
Now like this...
I'm just barely satisfied.
After formally sitting down, Yan Xingxuan was still a little nervous. He looked at Xiao Nianzhi, who was sitting across the table from him, and at the little girl's face in front of him.
The two of us had eaten at such close quarters before, even sitting next to each other.
However, the situation is different today.
He's cooking!
After years of eating, it’s rare to cook once. It’s really...
A little nervous, but also a little hopeful.
Yan Xingxuan's hand on his knee was constantly clenched into a fist, then released, and then clenched again.
After repeating it several times, he nodded to Xiao Nianzhi: "Think about it, let's get started."
Xiao Nianzhi actually had some expectations, so when Yan Xingxuan said it, she nodded hurriedly: "Okay."
While talking, she picked up the serving chopsticks on one side and picked up a piece of ribs first.
The pork ribs have indeed been stewed for a long time, and when you pick them up, the meat on them is trembling slightly.
Xiao Nianzhi put it in the bowl, and with a slight movement of the chopsticks, he could peel off the meat on it.
In fact, if the bones are shaken, they still have a soul.
After all, the soup for stewing pork ribs is good, and when you inhale the flavor of the bones, you take a sip and bring a different kind of refreshing feeling.
But the situation in front of me...
Xiao Nianzhi silently put the bones on the dinner plate aside.
Yan Xingxuan was not in a hurry to take action, he just picked up the bowl and then quietly looked at Xiao Nianzhi.
He wanted to see what the reaction would be like.
His heartbeat accelerated a lot at this moment, and Yan Xingxuan also knew that his cooking skills were really not that good.
Even though he eats a lot and has a picky mouth.
but……
No one said that if you have strong theoretical knowledge, you must also have strong practical ability, right?
But, after all, it was in front of my sweetheart.
The tension, excitement, and anticipation were all filled up in an instant.
Yan Xingxuan swallowed slightly, not because he coveted the food, but simply because he was nervous.
Watching Xiao Nianzhi peel the meat off the bones, watching her put the bones aside, watching her lower her head and take a bite...
At this moment, Yan Xingxuan felt that his heart was beating fast.
Yan Xingxuan's gaze was so hot, how could Xiao Nianzhi not feel it?
Being looked at like this, she felt a little nervous for no reason, and her movements became more and more careful.
After taking a careful bite and chewing, feeling the taste, Xiao Nianzhi nodded: "It tastes pretty good."
To say it is particularly delicious would be an exaggeration.
No matter how experienced Yan Xingxuan is in theory, this is his first time cooking seriously.
Xiao Nianzhi feels that it is possible to encourage education, but it cannot be praised directly, right?
While encouraging, don't forget to be more to the point, so that the other party will be more willing to believe it.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that if he directly praised Yan Xingxuan's cooking skills, he would probably be scared to tears.
It’s not true when you hear it. You don’t believe it yourself, let alone others.
