Chapter 390: Expel Feng Zhong
Eating hot pot in the evening, Qin Yang was burning charcoal with Little Ningning in the yard, while Lin Chuxia and Qin Juan were preparing ingredients in the kitchen.
The slices of mutton were all pre-cut by the butcher, and the tripe was cleaned and sliced into shreds.
In the past, a winter hot pot would mainly consist of Chinese cabbage, white radishes, plain tofu, and at most, frozen tofu and duck blood.
But Lin Chuxia’s little vegetable garden had several kinds of small green vegetables, which were perfect for the hot pot.
As Qin Juan picked the vegetables, she laughed and said, "I’ve discovered that some people are born with a taste for food. You running a food business is definitely no mistake."
Of course, who could compare with Lin Chuxia when it comes to eating?
Take the hot pot condiments, for instance. In those days, there were no ready-made condiments; everything had to be mixed by oneself.
Ground pure sesame made into sesame paste of the right consistency, with two bright red fermented bean curds added for flavor and scent, plus two spoonfuls of chive blossoms, brought out that special zing.
Those who liked cilantro could add a handful of freshly cut cilantro, along with some freshly fried chili oil, topped with another spoonful.
The mutton and tripe scalded in the charcoal heated copper pot, swirled in the sauce, and then eaten with a clove of sugar garlic.
