Chapter 166: Dishes made of chili
Nangong Anshan said: "Third brother, you don't have to worry, you are only ten years old this year, and I am in everything at home."
Now there are still guests, Nangong Sheng and Nangong Xiu can't save face for their sister, so they have to agree temporarily.
Anyway, they just refuse to go when the time comes.
Seeing that they had finished speaking, Xiao Ruiyan, Xiao Ruishen, and Shen Kaiyu also handed gifts to Nangong Anshan respectively.
Xiao Rui said: "Ashan, this is our gift to Auntie."
Nangong Anshan also accepted it with a smile, opened it and saw some cloth and jade pendants, and said: "Thank you, all of you sit down, I will go to the kitchen to cook, and it will be ready soon."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After half an hour, Nangong Anshan ordered all the prepared dishes to be brought to the table, saying: "Everyone, you can take your seats."
When everyone came to the big round table, Xiao Ruishen was surprised when he saw the things on the table: "What is the disc in the middle?"
Nangong Anshan explained: "Turntable, this table is too big, if you want to eat any dishes, you can just turn around to yourself later, so I don't have to put all the dishes for everyone Divide it into two or three portions, the portion is less, and it gets colder in winter, so it won’t taste good when you eat it.”
As she spoke, she turned the turntable and said, "That's how it turns."
Her table can seat up to twenty people, without this big turntable, it is really inconvenient.
She knows that the big families here have a table for everyone to eat, and then sit in front of the cushions and eat what is on their own table.
But she really doesn't want to pack so many dishes, and she doesn't want to prepare so many bowls and chopsticks. There is no such condition at home. The family can connect with each other by eating on the table. Although it is not hygienic to eat separately, there are guests. Sometimes, they all use serving chopsticks.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Dugu Huanxu said: "This is indeed a good way, yours is made of wood, right?"
"Yeah, just make the wood into pieces and put them together."
"You are really smart."
Nangong Anshan smiled.
Their eyes shifted to those dishes again.
Dugu Huanxu said: "The colors of some of the dishes today seem to be very special, and the smell is also very good."
Nangong Anshan said proudly: "Of course, let me introduce to you, these dishes are Twice Cooked Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Maoxuewang, Mapo Tofu, Sauce Knuckle, Boiled Pork Slices, Fish Flavored Pork Shredded , fish with pickled cabbage, diced chicken with spicy peppers, fresh pot rabbit, these dishes all add chili, but I don’t add much.”
"This fried shredded pork with red bell pepper is also made with chili, but it is not spicy at all, but has a little sweetness."
"The braised pork, braised pork ribs, white meat with garlic, pork ribs stewed winter melon, tomato scrambled eggs, fried eggplant and fried fungus are all made by me before, and they are not too spicy. If you can't eat spicy at all, Then eat these."
Everyone looked at each other.
Dugu Huanxu said: "Ashan, these spicy dishes are not acceptable to everyone?"
"Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "But try every dish, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it, so I didn't put much chili."
"Okay, I will listen to you."
Nangong Anshan gave Yang Ruolan a piece of Kung Pao Chicken, and said, "Aniang, try it. Although I put chili, it's really not spicy at all."
Yang Ruolan believed her daughter completely, took a quick bite and nodded, "It's delicious, the meat is very tender and has a sweet taste, but what kind of vegetable is this green one?"
Nangong Anshan coughed lightly and said, "I found this on the mountain, and I named it Lettuce."
Yang Ruolan tried the lettuce again, and nodded: "It's delicious, very fresh."
Nangong Anshan gave her another red bell pepper with chopsticks, "Aniang, try it."
"Okay." Yang Ruolan was very proud of her daughter, ate it in big mouthfuls, and said, "It's really sweet."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the others and said, "Everyone, try it, the taste of today's dish is very different."
Seeing this, other people also started to try it.
"Delicious, really delicious."
"good."
"delicious."
"This bell pepper is really sweet."
…
Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "Let's try other dishes."
Dugu Huanxu took a bite of boiled pork slices, and not long after he ate them, he said, "This dish... my mouth feels a little numb and tingling after eating it."
Nangong Anshan said: "The tingling is the feeling of being spicy, and this dish is considered the spiciest."
"It turns out that this is the feeling of being spicy, so it feels good."
"Then you must be fine with spicy food. The others are not too spicy. This is the spiciest dish here."
"Okay, I'll try something else."
Seeing this, other people also tried boiled pork slices.
Nangong Anshan watched each of them nervously, and was relieved to see that they all swallowed without any uncomfortable expression on their faces.
"It does hurt my tongue when I eat it, but the food is delicious."
"That's right, it's a delicious dish. Although it's spicy, it's acceptable."
"I can accept it too."
Xiao Ruiyan looked at Xiao Ruishen and asked, "Ah Shen, how are you eating?"
Xiao Ruishen said: "It's delicious, the tongue feels a little different, and I can accept it."
The rest of the Nangong family also nodded to Nangong Anshan, indicating that they could eat it too.
Nangong Anshan was completely relieved, as long as they could accept it, then chili peppers would definitely be able to be promoted in Liwang's fief in the future.
Everyone began to eat happily again.
Dugu Huanxu looked at Mapo Tofu and said, "Why do I feel that this tofu is familiar?"
Nangong Anshan said: "This is Mapo Tofu. I made it for you before, but it was a simple version, because there is no chili, and the Mapo Tofu with chili is the most authentic."
She got a method from the space system, which can make bean paste in six days.
Although it takes a short time, it is produced in the space and must be a high-quality product. The taste is completely comparable to the famous bean paste in the previous life.
Today's mapo tofu is made with bean paste, which tastes very good.
"So that's how it is." Dugu Huanxu tasted it again, and his eyes lit up immediately, "It's so delicious, the taste is completely different from what I ate before."
Nangong Anshan smiled and said: "Eat more if it tastes good, but after you finish eating, you'd better drink some of my winter melon stewed ribs soup. I added herbs to clear away heat and fire, so as not to let you eat chili for the first time. , so that you will feel uncomfortable tomorrow when it’s convenient for you.”
"Clearing heat and removing fire?"
"Yes, some of the dishes with chili added today may cause your body to heat up. Some dishes are deep-fried and may get angry, just like you eat barbecue, but it's just a possibility. You don't think it's spicy. , I'm just in case."
