Chapter 239 Hot Pot Tasting (3)
Zhu Qingqing looked up at Didi who was playing nearby, smiled and said, "Didi, go call grandpa and grandma over." Didi nodded obediently, and after answering, ran away with light steps like a happy little deer.
Then, Zhu Qingqing turned to Yu Bo and said, "Yu Bo, please find two tables of appropriate height, about this high. Then, prepare two small coffee tables to place the dishes. By the way, don't forget to bring back some small stools and put them all in our yard. Wait a minute, we will have a delicious hot pot in this yard!" Yu Bo responded readily, "Okay!" Hearing this, his heart was full of anticipation at the thought of enjoying a unique Baba hot pot feast here.
After everything was arranged here, Zhu Qingqing quickly turned her gaze to the sisters Dingxiang and Qiangwei, and continued to give orders in an orderly manner: "Dingxiang, Qiangwei, you two should hurry up and prepare some bowls and chopsticks. Oh, look how busy I am. I'm almost using up all the bowls and plates at home." Dingxiang and Qiangwei responded in unison and then hurriedly took action.
Zhu Qingqing herself worked tirelessly to prepare a variety of fresh and delicious vegetables. With deft hands, she cut them, and in a short while, piles of juicy, green vegetables were ready, ready to be cooked into delicious dishes on the table.
Then, they immediately set to work preparing a variety of seasonings. These included a dazzling array of ingredients: bright red chili sauce, finely ground Sichuan peppercorns, fragrant sesame oil, scallions, cilantro, watercress, kohlrabi, chopped peanuts, and more. Carefully pouring each ingredient into a large bowl, they then slowly stirred the mixture in a clockwise motion using chopsticks or a spoon. With constant stirring, the various ingredients gradually blended together, releasing a mouth-watering aroma. After meticulously blending, the result was a red broth-based medium-spicy dipping sauce that was both visually appealing and aromatic. Its vibrant color captivated the senses, while its unique, spicy flavor was irresistible.
Originally I just said it would be a simple meal, but in fact it is not simple at all!
When Zhu's father and mother arrived at the courtyard, they were stunned by the sight. In the center of the yard stood two exquisite square tables, one large and one small. On one sat a vibrant red soup pot, its chilies dancing and tumbling merrily; on the other, a rich, fragrant clear broth, its mushrooms tumbling and rolling like lively little elves. Both pots simultaneously exuded an alluring aroma that filled everyone's nostrils.
The coffee table nearby was piled high with a variety of dishes, like a small mountain. These dishes were fresh and varied, with juicy beef and mutton rolls, crispy and refreshing vegetable platters, and chewy and smooth meatballs of all kinds... It was truly a dazzling array of options.
Seeing this scene, Zhu's father couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Oh my, this is really well decorated!" At this time, Zhu Yingying playfully inserted an advertising slogan: "My sister's products must be top-notch!" Zhu Qingqing showed a hint of pride on her face after hearing this, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Isn't it very good?" Zhu's mother nodded and praised: "Not bad, it's really good!" Wang Xiangdong, who was standing aside, also echoed: "This is not only a visual feast, but also a strong stimulation for our taste buds!" Yu Bo said excitedly: "Following Sister Qingqing, not only will I not go hungry, but there are also so many delicious dishes to enjoy. It seems that I will have to hold your thighs tightly from now on!"
