Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 263 Hot Pot (4)

When frying hot pot broth, the smell of spicy and oily food in the house becomes particularly strong, so the two sisters thought it was inappropriate to eat hot pot in the main room or bedroom.

The kitchen is quite spacious, and the firewood burning in the stove keeps it warm enough, without having to carry so many pots and pans around.

Eating here is perfect!

Lin Chunyi directed her younger sister to move over a low table and chairs, and set up a charcoal stove and a small pot.

She added some vegetable oil and lard to the hot iron pot, and once the oil was hot, she added various seasonings and spices in turn, frying them slowly over low heat.

The hot pot broth with Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers tastes absolutely amazing! The two of them were in the kitchen, covering their noses and half-closing their eyes, still coughing and tearing up.

Peach and Reunion were also sneezing uncomfortably, so they chased the little ones out of the kitchen and sent them to the main room for a while.

Stir-frying hot pot base is a very time-consuming task, and they certainly didn't plan to stir-fry the base every time they ate hot pot.

So they finished two cans of chili oil, a whole bunch of spices and seasonings, and stir-fried this small half-pot.

If you use it sparingly, it should last about four or five times.

The aromas of all the ingredients were fully released, and the bright red dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns began to turn black. The garlic, ginger slices, and scallion segments also turned golden brown, and she quickly scooped them into her eating bowl.

Each bowl was filled to eight-tenths full, and four bowls were filled in total. Besides what they were going to eat in the pot this time, they could have four more hot pot meals without choking!

"Cough cough, that's enough, I'm about to choke, Lanshan, quickly pour the soup in, cough cough..." As the person closest to the pot, every time Lin Chunyi stirred these bright red and oily ingredients with the iron spoon, it was torture.

Lin Lanshan quickly poured a pot of steaming hot bone broth into the pot along the side.

After a series of crackling sounds,

The glistening red broth and rich, meaty bone soup mix together, instantly transforming into a small pot of spicy hot pot soup.

Spicy and fragrant steam filled the air, red chili oil floated on the surface of the soup, and the thick bone broth boiled wildly, creating countless bubbles.

Lin Lanshan took a deep breath of the aroma emanating from the pot. This not-quite-authentic but still familiar taste almost made her drool.

She put down the soup bowl, turned around and strode over to the small stove, picked up the double-handled pot and placed it on the stove, tapping it twice.

He gestured to his sister to scoop the hot pot broth from the big iron pot into this small pot, saying, "Sis, hurry up, let's eat hot pot!"

In the kitchen, the warm charcoal fire and the spicy hot pot are bringing warmth and joy to the people and pets inside.

Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan also sat on chairs, their arms moving back and forth on the table, demonstrating their speed and appetite.

As for Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang, they were perfectly in sync, their eyes following the chopsticks as they moved back and forth.

The spicy aroma and scalding temperature make them want to get closer, yet they dare not get too close.

Lin Lanshan dipped the freshly cooked mutton into the dipping sauce bowl, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she realized that the meat and her mouth wouldn't touch.

She kept trying to put the meat on her chopsticks into her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it in.

?

I've only ever heard of cooked ducks flying away, but I've never heard of lamb already dipped in sauce flying away...

She didn't look down, but instead looked down along the sleeve of her arm.

It turned out that the sleeve had been bitten tightly by a pet that couldn't stand it anymore.

"Peach, what are you doing? Let go of my mouth! Do you know you've already wasted two of my time eating meat?" Time spent eating meat is as precious as money; missing even one piece is a loss!

It neither listened nor moved, but just kept biting its sleeve.

"..." Lin Lanshan put down the bowl and tried to pull on the sleeve with her other hand, but she couldn't budge it at all.

If it weren't winter, she would have taken off her outer coat and let it chew on it as it pleased.

Taozi's intentions were too obvious; Lin Lanshan could guess them without much thought.

This is a classic case of someone who can't have the food themselves, and therefore no one else is allowed to have it either... This is definitely a case of reverse favoritism!

She couldn't persuade this stubborn little glutton. And she couldn't possibly beat him up on such a happy day just for a bite to eat.

So Lin Lanshan gave in, "Alright, let go of my mouth now, I'll find you something to eat."

Sure enough, Peach's eyelashes fluttered a few times before she let go of her mouth.

"Uh-huh!" What do you call this? This is what you call: hard work will never be in vain!

Lin Lanshan quickly put the now-cold mutton into the hot pot to reheat it, dipped it in the sauce again, and ate it.

“You’re grass-eating, you’re vegetarian! You can’t just eat meat, that’s breaking the rules of your ancestors, don’t you understand! You’re only allowed to eat a little bit, or I’ll slap you if you make a fuss.”

While spouting nonsensical nonsense and lecturing, she rinsed several pieces of fish repeatedly with plain water before feeding them to Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang.

Why were fish and meat fed to the troops in the "Reunion and Peace" camp? Because one of the vanguard had already breached the city gates, how could the rest of the soldiers not rush in to encircle and annihilate them...?

"Uh-huh!"

"quack!"

"Cuckoo~"

They were overjoyed after just one taste of this new treat. They stayed quietly to the side, continuing to eat their dry food and rice mixed with vegetable stalks and leaves.

Even pet owners need to be observant.

Eat what you can eat, don't eat what you can't; eat as much as you're given, don't go looking for trouble.

And you know what? Their owner wasn't lying; these things on the table really shouldn't be eaten! Right now, they're all starting to feel a little pain in their mouths…

Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang surprisingly didn't throw a tantrum at Lin Chunyi today, so she just stood by quietly as a bystander, watching and eating.

But Lin Lanshan knew how to strike precisely. She rolled her eyes at her sister and said, "You're the epitome of 'minding your own business'!"

The unreasonable peach made her struggle to eat a bite of mutton for ages without actually getting a mouthful.

Her own sister, instead of helping to pull her aside or teach her a lesson, took the opportunity to pick up slice after slice of meat and dip it into the pot, as if she wanted to finish everything.

It's like how much meat she eats and how fiercely she snatches it.

Lin Lanshan had just finished her internal monologue when she noticed that there was less meat left on her plate. She shouted anxiously, "Lin Chunyi, leave me some meat! How much did you secretly eat while I wasn't using my chopsticks!"

Lin Chunyi pouted and said, "You're really domineering, acting like my landlord."

After saying that, she quickly picked up a piece of pork rib with cartilage and put it in her bowl, grinning as she said, "Hey, but I don't care, eating meat is all about skill!"

Lin Lanshan stopped talking and started a competition with her sister to see who could use chopsticks better.

If it weren't for the pot of piping hot hot pot soup on the low table, the two sisters would have put on a chopsticks-themed "sword fight" today.

Indeed, food tastes best when everyone's fighting over it...
