Chapter 203 Eating Hot Pot 2
Shopkeeper Xie had never smelled such a fragrance before. He only heard Xue Qing say, "Shopkeeper Xie, it's very hot. Wait a moment. Your mouth will feel spicy after eating this. After the spiciness, it will feel very refreshing and you will want to eat another bite."
Because I haven't eaten chili for a long time, I made a sauce dish by myself. I put the soy sauce and chili sauce together, put the boiled mutton into the sauce dish and dipped it in it. Wow!
The moment the meat entered my mouth, I tasted the long-lost taste and wanted to cry!
Everyone at the table looked at Xue Qing's enjoyable expression and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Is it so delicious?
Before everyone had eaten the tea, they saw Xue Qing making four "shashasha" sounds. No one knew what was going on, but they just watched her drink the whole cup of tea.
Jiang Yi looked at Xue Qing whose face was slowly turning red, and said worriedly: "Qing'er, what happened to your face? Why is it so red?"
After drinking the second cup of tea, he shook his head and said, "It's okay. This is normal."
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Do you dare to try it?"
Shopkeeper Xie looked at the mutton in the bowl, then looked at Xue Qing, and seemed to have made a great decision. He picked up the mutton in the bowl and quickly put it into his mouth.
Xue Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How come you feel like a hero preparing to die while eating this?"
Everyone else at the table was watching Shopkeeper Xie's reaction as he ate the mutton, and didn't pay attention to what Xue Qing said, but Jiang Yi and Xie Jiang heard something different. They looked at each other and quickly looked away.
No one noticed the subtle interaction between the two.
Shopkeeper Xie put the mutton covered with chili peppers into his mouth. From the moment he tasted it for the first time, his brows slightly frowned, as if he was shocked by the spicy taste of the chili peppers. He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to adapt to this sudden stimulation.
But then he took a deep breath, as if adjusting his taste buds and preparing for the next challenge.
The spicy taste of the chili spread in his mouth, and Shopkeeper Xie's lips slightly opened, revealing a hint of surprise. As time went on, he gradually adapted to the spicy taste and began to enjoy the stimulation it brought.
The spiciness of the pepper became more and more obvious, and Shopkeeper Xie's forehead began to sweat slightly. He closed his eyes, as if he was completely immersed in this spicy world. A satisfied expression appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying a feast for his taste buds.
Finally, after finishing the mutton covered with chili peppers, Shopkeeper Xie let out a long breath, as if all the tension and pressure were released.
A happy smile appeared on his face, as if he was very satisfied and enjoying the spicy taste. He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Miss Wu, this chili is really different in spiciness. I used to think ginger was spicy, but I didn't expect this to be completely different."
Shopkeeper Xie sighed.
The others looked at Shopkeeper Xie's face, thinking that he would turn red like Xue Qing, but they didn't expect that his expression didn't change at all.
"How is it?" Xue Qing looked at Shopkeeper Xie without blinking.
Shopkeeper Xie savored it carefully again and said: "This thing is indeed memorable."
Xue Qing nodded. This pepper has become the basis for many famous dishes in later generations.
"Shopkeeper Xie, chili peppers can be made into many dishes. People who like strong flavors will definitely like it, but due to its special taste, some people cannot eat it."
He looked at everyone and continued, "For example, some people with weak bodies may not benefit from eating this."
Shopkeeper Xie nodded and said to everyone: "Eat according to what Miss Wu said just now."
Jiang couldn't wait to start eating. She had absolute trust in Xue Qing. Xue Qing liked it so much, so it must taste good.
Because I ate in a hurry, I was choked by the chili before I could even taste the food.
Xue Qing quickly gave her a cup of tea. Jiang turned her back and choked, coughing, with runny nose and tears streaming down her face.
Xue Qing took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and quickly gave it to Jiang Yi to wipe his tears.
"This is what happens when you eat in a hurry. When you are serving guests, you must remind them several times to eat slowly and explain that the pepper has a strong taste and may make them feel uncomfortable."
Xue Qing explained the situation to everyone like a teacher.
After Jiang Yi recovered, he was a little hesitant.
"Sister Jiang, if you can't accept this chili, you can eat this broth base."
Jiang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll eat slowly"
The others also started to eat slowly as Xue Qing said.
Some people like it more and more the more they eat it, while others' faces turn red after eating it. In fact, this is an allergy, but it does not have a particularly big impact.
After that, Youran Ju’s hotpot became popular in Anyang City, and soon Youran Ju was crowded with customers every day.
This also aroused the jealousy of Wenxiangju, and at the same time, some vendors in the market were also selling seasoning packets.
But this time Xue Qing completely offended Wenxiangju.
Liu's arm has fully recovered and she helps tend to the pepper seedlings every day.
During the few days when the Wu brothers came back, the woodroom was filled with firewood. Of course, the daily consumption of firewood is also very large now, and the three main rooms and the east and west wing rooms cannot be cooled.
Wu Tong and Liu continued to live separately. Wu Tong once wanted to go to Liu's room, but was directly rejected by Liu.
Ever since Xue Qing refused to eat at the same table with him last time, they ate separately. Xue Qing and Jiang Yi were in the west wing, and the two children came over to eat from time to time.
Because it was cold, Wu Tong no longer went up the mountain.
The last time Zhao Da went to see a doctor, the doctor just said that it was a recurrence of an old injury, so he just needed to take good care of himself, not to get angry, and just rest.
Li lived in agony every day, but she also had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She knew that Zhao Da's health was getting worse and worse, and from time to time she had an evil thought in her mind: when will he... die!
At this time, Shopkeeper Guo, who was severely beaten by Xue Qing, was lying in his small courtyard, being served by Su Mei.
He hated Xue Qing in his heart. He had finally followed Manager Guo and had a few days of good life, but she ruined everything again.
Fortunately, Manager Guo was not seriously injured, and only suffered minor skin injuries.
As for Wenxiangju, it was natural that it was put in charge by a manager named Gao Sheng.
After he settled down Master Guo, he also settled down all the thugs under his command and gave each of them one or two taels of silver to appease the people.
One of them told Gao Sheng everything about the Wu family, and Gao Sheng quickly grasped the key point, the accounts of Wenxiangju.
Half a month later, Manager Guo's injuries were basically not serious, but because the injury was on his face and the bruises on his face had not yet healed completely, he had been recuperating in the courtyard.
However, things have changed at Wenxiangju. Gao Sheng has become the new shopkeeper of Wenxiangju, and the new manager is Gao Yi, who has just arrived at Wenxiangju.
That day, the two of them were drinking in a private room. Gao Yi picked up his glass with a grateful look on his face: "Manager Gao, I came here without knowing anyone. Thanks to you for taking me in and promoting me. I, Gao Yi, am very grateful. I'll drink it!"
