The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent
087. Isn't that the red pepper?
Seeing that the two adults and four children still had confused expressions and had not yet taken off their chopsticks, Lin Xi simply took them back to the kitchen, pointed to the spices on the stove and said, "These are the five kinds."
Then she took a small bowl and mixed some for herself, called them out, and picked up a chopstick of freshly cooked spinach.
"Shen Chen, come here!"
Lin Xi turned to Shen Chen.
Shen Chen was startled and took a step forward to approach Lin Xi.
Lin Xi held up the chopsticks: "Open your mouth."
Shen Chen's eyes flashed and he looked at Lin Xi strangely. Wang Shou and the four children next to him opened their eyes wide. Dabao quickly covered the eyes of the fourth treasure. The second treasure covered the eyes of the third treasure at the same time. The two treasures tried their best to suppress the inexplicable rising. corner of mouth.
"What are you doing? Open your mouth quickly." Lin Xi urged.
Shen Chen's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he came closer to Lin Xi and opened his mouth as he was told.
Lin Xi dipped a chopstick into the dish and fed it to Shen Chen, and asked expectantly: "How is it?"
Shen Chen stared at Lin Xi and unconsciously chewed two mouthfuls before swallowing. In fact, he didn't notice the taste at all. It seemed to be very fragrant and tasted like something he had never tasted before. In short, his eyes were always fixed on Lin Xi. He nodded at the end, and his deep voice seemed to soften a little in the heat.
He said: "It's delicious."
“It’s delicious!”
When the four children heard this, they couldn't care about anything else and excitedly went to the kitchen to make their own dipping sauce.
Only Wang Shou looked at Shen Chen and Lin Xi blankly, with complicated expressions, and then mixed a large bowl of ingredients with tears in his eyes.
The family then sat down and started eating.
Lin Xi was worried at first that Shen Chen and his four children would not be used to eating hot pot.
Soon she realized that she was overthinking it, and the five of them simply accepted it well. Shen Chen wouldn't say anything else. According to Lin Xi's observation, he was not picky about food and could eat anything, but for hot pot, he stretched out his chopsticks extra hard. He is diligent and the dishes are served very quickly. It can be said that he is a general manager and says to cook quietly.
The four children just thought this way of eating was fun, and it was really delicious and novel. They couldn't stop praising it, expressing their approval and love for Lin Xi.
As for Wang Shou, Lin Xi will not consider him for the time being.
Because he cooked three big bowls of rice by himself, and he ate it faster than anyone else with his chopsticks, and all the dishes he had were empty. With this reaction, even if he said he didn't like it, no one would believe it.
What Lin Xi didn't know was that Wang Shou was really crying in tears this time.
All he could think about was: How could this happen? It seems like this is really just an ordinary pot, but the food it cooks is so delicious!
This is impossible, there must be another mystery behind the pot!
Wang Shou couldn't help but stretched out his chopsticks. Slowly, he forgot his original purpose. Finally, he stopped talking and asked, "What's the name of this dish? It's really delicious."
Lin Xi said: "Oh, it's called hot pot."
Wang Shou was confused: "Hot pot?"
Lin Xi said: "Look, isn't it just cooked over charcoal fire and eaten at the same time?"
"That's it. It's really simple and unpretentious."
After Wang Shou finished speaking, he burped again.
Lin Xi asked: "Brother Wang Shou, how long did it take you to make such a pot?"
Wang Shoudao: "About three hours. At first, it had a strange shape and was not easy to make. I made mistakes several times, and then I had to do it all over again, and finally I made it."
Lin Xi calculated, "If I ask you to make about thirty more, how long will it take you?"
Wang Shou was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen glanced at him, and Wang Shou said: "About seven or eight days."
This is about the same time that the Dilong was built at Ke Yun Tower.
Lin Xi said: "Then how much does it cost to make one?"
Wang Shou immediately said: "Brother Shen and I are brothers and sisters! How could I ask for money!"
Lin Xi said: "It's not for your brother Shen's family, it's for Ke Yun Tower."
"this……"
Wang Shou hesitated and looked at Shen Chen again.
Shen Chen spoke this time: "It's Ke Yunlou. I listen to your sister-in-law."
Lin Xi added: "There is no need to lower the money for the sake of acquaintances, it is whatever it is."
Wang Shou hesitated for a moment and said: "It's four hundred coins a mouthful. This kind of pot requires a lot of iron. The first few times I failed, it was because the iron I used was not good. It was not easy to find the right one. According to the normal price , will be more expensive.”
Lin Xi nodded: "Okay, brother Wang Shou, I will go to Mr. Zhao of Keyun Tower to discuss it tomorrow, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
Wang Shou was about to speak but hesitated. Looking at Shen Chen, he finally said nothing.
After dinner, it was already very late.
Lin Xi was worried that it would not be safe for Wang Shou to go back alone at such a late hour, so he wanted Wang Shou to stay and sleep with Shen Chen, which was a way of thanking him for his help during the day.
But Wang Shou didn't dare to stay and disturb him. After one look at Shen Chen, he quickly said goodbye and ran away.
…
The next day, Lin Xi had breakfast early and then took Old Uncle Li's ox cart to the county.
As expected, Keyun Tower has already begun to close its store for construction. On the right day, it is closed and there is no profit. This makes passers-by very curious about what is being built in Keyun Tower.
When Lin Xi arrived, Zhao Dequan was not in Keyun Tower.
Fortunately, the accountant recognized Lin Xi and hurriedly invited Lin Xi to come in and sit down, saying: "Miss Lin, the person in charge of my family is in the house. Please sit down for a while and I will go and invite him."
"OK."
Lin Xi was free, so he agreed and waited.
The accountant asked someone to bring some tea, fruits and snacks to Lin Xi, and then went out to make arrangements.
Lin Xi thought to himself that it was idle time, so he went out to watch the workers constructing.
It happened that at this time, the person who came to deliver the purchase to Keyunlou came. The accountant saw Lin Xi in the lobby. He didn't say anything. He greeted her and went out to meet the person.
Lin Xi was still watching the workers constructing the work. Suddenly, she heard the shouting from the accounting room outside, vaguely mentioning something. She went over curiously.
When she went out, she happened to see the cashier pointing at the food that was delivered, and said angrily: "Oh my God, how dare you bring this kind of thing! If I hadn't noticed, something would have happened! Have you forgotten? Last time, a customer ate this food and had diarrhea for several days. They came to Keyunlou to cause trouble, and we in charge paid a lot of compensation! We also lost a lot of customers!"
The old man who delivered the food apologized repeatedly and said: "I was really busy this time and forgot to check. So, can I pick these out and weigh them again to calculate the money?"
The accountant said: "Don't you know how much time this will take? Forget it, seeing as you are our restaurant's long-term purchaser, forget it this time, but not next time!"
When the old man heard this, he quickly thanked him and hurriedly knelt down to pick out the unnecessary items.
Lin Xi was a little curious about what kind of food could make people suffer from diarrhea.
When the old man picked it out, Lin Xi took a quick look, was stunned, and stood up straight in an instant.
Then that...that's red pepper!
That’s right, it’s red pepper!
Lin Xi was immediately overjoyed and rushed over: "Wait a minute!"
