Chapter 103 Eating hot pot
Wenxi took out a box each of beef balls, shrimp balls, fish balls, egg dumplings, fish roe lucky bags, crab sticks, lamb rolls, beef rolls, tripe and ham sausage, and prepared some cabbage, coriander, mushrooms and potato chips. She estimated that the three of them would be full.
"Jiaojiao, go wash some cabbage, coriander, and leeks, and cut some potato slices. We're having hotpot tonight. Put the things there, and I'll clean up later." Wen Xi instructed.
After that, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue started to get busy excitedly. As people coming from big cities, they naturally knew what hotpot was, but they had never eaten it. They didn't expect that Wen Xi had actually prepared all the ingredients for hotpot. So they could eat hotpot to their heart's content tonight.
Wen Xi drank a cup of hot water, rested for a while, then carried the backpack to the kitchen and began to prepare hot pot. She first took out the utensils for cooking hot pot.
Small alcohol stove, fuel blocks, small iron pot, and hot pot base.
Tear a small hole in the transparent packaging bag of the fuel block, put it into the small alcohol stove, light it with a match, put the small iron pot that had been cleaned long ago on it, put the spicy beef hot pot base on one side and the tomato hot pot base on the other side, then pour hot water into it, cover the pot, and let the alcohol stove burn.
After a while, the hot pot soup was boiling, and Wenxi put an equal amount of meatballs and ham into the hot pot soup on both sides. These things cook slowly, so they were left in the pot to cook slowly.
When eating hot pot, it is not delicious to eat only these things, it is better to have a combination of meat and vegetables. So Wen Xi took a pound of oyster mushrooms and a pound of enoki mushrooms from the system warehouse. She processed the oyster mushrooms and enoki mushrooms first, and then took them to the well for Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to wash them.
Half an hour later, three people sat around the dining table. In the middle of the table was an alcohol stove, and around the alcohol stove were a circle of hot pot ingredients waiting to be put into the pot.
Smelling the aroma of the hot pot, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue kept swallowing their saliva. They both knew what hot pot was and someone in their family had eaten it, but they had never had the chance to try it.
"Xiaoxi, is it cooked?" Shen Jiaojiao looked at Wenxi with anticipation.
Wenxi opened the lid of the pot, put it aside, and said uncertainly, "It should be cooked. Let me try it first."
Wenxi picked up a beef ball and blew on it. It was not so hot anymore, so he took a bite. It was tender and juicy, very delicious. He nodded repeatedly, "It's cooked. It's delicious."
Afterwards, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue couldn't wait to start eating. Soon half of the hot pot was gone, leaving some space, so Wen Xi quickly put the other ingredients in.
These days, the puppy's mother didn't dare to eavesdrop behind Wenxi's house anymore, because there were a lot of people on the mountain behind, and she was afraid of being caught. As time went by, the puppy had no chance to contact Wenxi, and the puppy's mother was very anxious. If this continued, all the money and meat in Wenxi's hands would be squandered by these three bitches.
Thinking that those people in the mountains would probably go home to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve, the puppy's mother didn't want to wait any longer and decided to let the puppy take action on the night of New Year's Eve to avoid any more trouble.
Wenxi and the other two were happily eating hotpot. They had no idea of other people's conspiracies and plots. Even if they knew, it wouldn't matter. After all, Wenxi now was not so easy to bully.
Soon, it was the day for general cleaning. After Wenxi and the other two had breakfast, they started to get busy. They first carried out all the furniture that could be carried out of the room, and covered those that could not be carried out with sacks and old sheets. Then they used a broom made of bamboo or bamboo strips to gently sweep the roof to remove the dust and cobwebs on the roof.
The three were busy when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Wen Xi hurried over to open the door and saw Lin Yiwan and his group standing in front of the door.
In the past, Lin Yiwan had Xia Minglei by her side, and Xia Minglei also had his lackey Lu Xiaoyun, but Lin Yiwan ignored Xia Minglei, so Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun were no longer by her side, but now Lin Yiwan has another person, Lin Chuyang, who is on vacation and back home.
Before Wen Xi could speak, she only heard Lin Yiwan say with a smile, "Wen Xi, I brought them here to help you."
Maybe it was because they had a common secret that the relationship between the two people became much closer.
"Thank you, everyone." Wen Xi smiled and invited everyone in. Then everyone started to work enthusiastically, first cleaning the roof and walls, then sweeping the floor, and finally wiping the tables, chairs and benches.
There is strength in numbers, and soon the house was clean and spotless.
Wenxi brought hot water and asked everyone to wash their hands and faces and shake off the dust on their clothes. Then he made sugar water for everyone. Lin Chuyang looked at the bowl in front of him, then looked at Wenxi. He took the bowl with a smile and took a sip. He didn't expect it to be sweet sugar water.
Lin Chuyang was stunned for a moment, then said, "We can just drink plain water, no need to make us sugar water, it's not easy for you to live in the countryside."
He wanted to help Wenxi, but he couldn't do it openly. Besides, Wenxi was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others. If he quietly left the things outside the door and ran away, Wenxi probably wouldn't even touch them.
After everyone left, Wen Xi took sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases that were in the style of that era and gave them to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, asking them to change them. Then the three of them washed the changed sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases together. Some things could not be handled by one person at all, so they had to cooperate with each other.
When Tian Shengnan and the other two came over, Wen Xi and the others had just hung out the sheets, quilt covers and other things to dry in the sun. All that were fluttering in the yard were their sheets and quilt covers. The ones they had taken off were the ones they had brought from home, so there was no problem at all.
"Xiaoxi, our kitchen is ready for use. You three can come over for lunch tomorrow at noon. We always come over for lunch, so you can also come over to our place for lunch." Tian Shengnan invited.
Wen Xi readily agreed, "Okay, then we'll go over to bother you at noon tomorrow."
Everyone was very busy today, so Tian Shengnan did not stay here, for fear of disturbing Wenxi and the others. After inviting them, she went back to the educated youth point. After all, they were going to have lunch together tomorrow at noon, so she had to prepare in advance.
There were troops stationed on the mountain behind, so Zhao Zhiping had no way to leave the eels there, so he asked Zhao Yuanyuan to bring them over when she came to class in the evening, and then Wen Xi gave the money to Zhao Yuanyuan.
Wenxi would also go to other places to catch eels during the day. Now that the two of them have joined forces, Wenxi already has a lot of eels in her hands. As for when to sell the eels, Wenxi has not thought about it yet. She decided that it would be better to sell fish first. After all, she is guarding two rivers by herself, and she has also signed for fry of various fish, and she is just waiting for the spring to come, and then she will throw the fry into the river.
She wants to make money, but she cannot affect the river's ecosystem.
