Chapter 163: It's Hard to Travel Far Away When You're Worried
After waiting for everyone to sit down, Zhao Huanxi invited them to eat as much as they wanted. They had just harvested the food, so there was plenty to eat!
Those people began to eat peacefully. Xu Qingzhao wanted to sit at the same table with Huanxi and the others, but was dragged away by the men, who said it was a big man sitting with young wives. Huanxi was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Just tell them not to let Qing Zhao drink too much, as he has been tired these past two days and it is hurting his health.
Everyone jokingly agreed, but when they really started drinking, who would care about you...
She shook her head and met Xu Qingzhao's gaze, signaling her not to drink so much. But Xu Qingzhao just smiled and gave her a reassuring look.
Well... I believe in her ability to pretend to be drunk... I'm afraid I'll have to ask Chunliu to work hard in the middle of the night and make her a bowl of noodles so that she won't be hungry in the middle of the night.
The other table was much calmer. Yu Yan had gotten used to staying at the Zhao family, and now she had no special reaction when facing these rough guys.
She was just busy eating her own meal. Zhao Huanxi knew her character, so she stopped outsiders from asking about Yu Yan.
Zhao Huanxi was also at the table watching their reactions as they ate the food. What Huanxi hadn't expected was that Yu Yan, who was usually cold and aloof in front of outsiders, actually had a soft spot for the chili rabbit dish.
She observed quietly and found that Yu Yan was still eating even though her lips were red. Her eyes would occasionally glance at the plate, as if she was calculating how much was left.
The other one was the gentle little Pan, who couldn't stop eating after taking a bite of the rabbit with chili. This one was even more heavyweight, with a little sweat on his little face, but he was still eating.
Zhao Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief. If you wanted something spicy these days, you could only try dogwood. But the flavor of dogwood was... complicated... not something Huanxi liked.
After several months of having no taste in my mouth, I was finally able to eat the chili-flavored rabbit I had been craving. I picked up a piece of rabbit and put it in my mouth. The first thing I felt was the tender and juicy rabbit meat, followed by the warm and stimulating taste of the chili.
The cooked rabbit meat has a delicate texture without losing its chewiness, and is intertwined with the spicy flavor of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. The spiciness of the chili peppers is just right, not too irritating to be unacceptable, while fully bringing out the deliciousness of the rabbit meat.
She seemed to have returned to the modern era, to a busy restaurant in an alley, eating the signature rabbit. It was too spicy, so she asked the waitress for a bottle of peanut milk to cut the spiciness. There was a lot of noise around her, but her eyes were only on the pot of rabbit in front of her.
Although it is noisy, I am alone.
When she came to her senses, she found that she was in ancient times. She was surrounded by her own "children" and her own friends. Looking at the other table, Xu Qingzhao smiled and toasted her with a glass of wine from a distance. The emotion in his eyes made her happy and warm.
At this moment, she seemed to... fall in love with this world.
I can slowly figure out the things that exist in modern times here, but it seems that I can slowly find the things that do not exist in modern times here.
After the meal, when all the outsiders had left, Zhao Huanxi went to the kitchen to ask them what they thought of the two flavors of rabbit.
As a result, I saw a few people with red lips scrambling for water, and they only greeted Huanxi embarrassedly when they saw her come in.
Zhao Huanxi smiled secretly, thinking it was normal to feel so spicy the first time, and waved her hand to tell them to get up.
"Madam, what is this rabbit meat made of? Why is it so delicious? Although it's a little strange at first, it tastes better and better the more I eat. I'm afraid young people won't be able to eat it..."
After Yuanzhen finished speaking, Zhao Huanxi saw that Baoer's mouth was swollen, and felt a little embarrassed. Baoer was one year older than Xiaonian, so he automatically ignored the fact that Baoer was weaker than Xiaonian, and forgot to tell Yuanzhen not to give Baoer food.
"I have some cooling cream in my room. I'll bring it over for Bao'er to use later."
Baoer stood up, looked up cautiously and said, "Madam, I'm not in pain. I wanted to eat it myself. The rabbit you made is delicious, very delicious!"
"Hahaha, actually, just drink more water and you'll be fine. If that doesn't work, just make some rice soup. What about you three?"
Suyun didn't eat much, but she thought the taste was okay, just a little bland. It would be better if it was a little saltier.
Zhao Huanxi: Wow, this guy has a strong taste.
When it came to Spring Willow and Summer Lotus, they pointed out more constructive suggestions, such as adding the diced lotus root in advance so that it could be more flavorful, and frying the lettuce for too short a time...etc.
Zhao Huanxi nodded in satisfaction. These two people were indeed good at cooking. The suggestions they gave were all on point, and some of them were things he had not thought of.
Human thinking is all about pooling wisdom; one more idea equals more ideas. She didn't think she was smarter than people of her time; it was just that the times forced her to be less advanced.
I can only be said to be taking advantage of the dividends of the times and making use of the time difference here.
After listening to their opinions, Zhao Huanxi felt that she suddenly understood. She hadn't made this dish for a long time. It was normal for her to not make it well. She just needed to try it a few more times.
After all, if you want to sell it for money, you have to be careful. If it sells well, you can start breeding in the village. Otherwise, if you rely on only Xiaobai as a wolf, I'm afraid he will be exhausted to death.
After leaving the kitchen, several people in the yard were talking about something and laughing happily. When they saw her come out, the three little ones ran over and pulled her to sit down.
"Mom, this rabbit is delicious, but it hurts my mouth a little." Xiao Nian pouted and showed her red little mouth to Huanxi.
Huanxi looked over and saw that among the three girls, only Xiaoyin's mouth was not red. She noticed then that this girl probably didn't like spicy food. So she didn't eat two pieces at all.
She touched Xiao Nian's little face, went to her room, took out the bottle of cooling ointment, and gently scooped out a little bit with her fingers and applied it on Xiao Nian's mouth.
"Mom! It's cool! So comfortable." She cried out, feeling the coolness on her mouth.
Huanxi warned: "Don't lick it, it's very bitter."
Don't ask her how she knew...
"Mom, I want to apply it too." Xiao Pan came forward and acted coquettishly, pouting to show off her big red lips.
Huanxi finished applying the makeup on the girls, and the two adults, whose mouths were also red and swollen, looked at Huanxi eagerly.
"Yan Yan, you should wait for Hong Ying to come back before applying it. Hahahaha." Huanxi started joking again.
Yu Yan scolded him, "Okay, then if you don't apply it on me, you are not allowed to apply it on your Zhao-Zhao either."
Seeing that the "fire of war" was burning on him, Xu Qingzhao said under the influence of alcohol: "Yan Yan, you should wait until Miss Pang comes back before you talk. My Huan Huan is right in front of me, I will not care and will apply it."
What about my Huanhuan... This guy is really outspoken, and the child is still here.
Xiao Pan was very considerate and took her sisters to wash up, leaving the adults here to talk.
Yu Yan smiled and glanced at the two of them, then said softly, "My~ Huan~ Huan~"
This cry made Zhao Huanxi almost dig her toes out of the three-bedroom apartment. It was so embarrassing. Someone come and save me.
