Chapter 203 Tasteless
Yi Zhonghai is really hypocritical. He always claims to respect the elderly and care for the young, especially the old lady in the backyard.
In reality, whether it's the daily laundry, cooking, or taking care of the children, it's all done by an older woman.
Aside from talking, Yi Zhonghai rarely actually takes action.
Even so, the deaf old woman in the backyard still complains from time to time.
This made the older woman, who had been taking care of him diligently, feel dissatisfied.
However, due to traditional women's views and the guilt she felt because she believed she was infertile, the older woman obeyed Yi Zhonghai in everything.
So even though he had some dissatisfaction in his heart, he never complained.
Just as these people returned from work, Li Qin's hot pot broth was finally ready.
Looking at the large pot full of red hot pot broth, his face was full of satisfaction.
"For a long time to come, there shouldn't be a shortage of hot pot base."
Li Qin took out a portion; this was what they would eat tonight.
As for the rest, Li Qin used a magic spell to accelerate its solidification, then divided it into many small pieces of roughly the same size and stored them away separately.
This will make it convenient to retrieve later.
"Next, it's time to let the people in the courtyard house experience the impact of Sichuan hot pot."
Li Qin first moved a honeycomb briquette stove into the restaurant, and then placed his homemade iron hot pot on the stove.
Then he waved his hand, and although there was nothing burning in the furnace, a raging fire suddenly broke out.
That's how magical the spell is.
The pot on the stove heated up quickly.
Li Qin quickly added the bone broth that had been simmering for several hours to the pot, along with a large clump of hot pot base.
Under the intense heat of the flames, the milky white bone broth and the red hot pot base in the pot began to blend rapidly.
Seeing this, Li Qin first turned down the flame in the stove.
Then they went to the kitchen and brought all the dishes to the dining room.
Li Qin was really looking forward to this hot pot meal.
There are not only various vegetables, but also various meats, but Li Qin prefers mutton.
Among them, cucumber strips, lamb tenderloin, lamb brain, lamb tendon, lamb chuck, lamb three-pronged fork, lamb head, and lamb shank are Li Qin's favorites.
Because these cuts of meat are relatively tender, easy to slice and cook quickly, they are excellent for hot pot.
In addition, Li Qin also prepared duck intestines, duck blood, goose intestines, shrimp paste, braised pork intestines, crispy pork, pork liver and other meat dishes;
The vegetarian dishes included lotus root slices, enoki mushrooms, potatoes, kelp, bean curd sheets, cabbage, bean sprouts, sweet potato noodles, and tofu.
The result was that the huge dining table was filled with all sorts of dishes.
Finally, Li Qin prepared dipping sauces.
After doing all this, Li Qin immediately increased the intensity of the flames in the stove and then began to put some dishes into the hot pot.
The aroma was already very strong when Li Qin made the hot pot base earlier.
Now, with the addition of a long-simmered bone broth, and the subsequent cooking of meat and vegetables, the aroma becomes even more intense.
Moreover, its aroma is even more enticing than that of simple hot pot broth.
Li Qin listened to the system notifications while happily eating hot pot.
Anyone who has eaten hot pot knows that it's a meal that usually doesn't end quickly; it takes quite a while to finish.
Li Qin spent nearly an hour and a half this time.
He thoroughly enjoyed the hot pot meal, but many people in the courtyard felt unwell for over an hour.
After receiving their salaries, many people in the courtyard went to buy some meat to replenish their bodies with oil and fat, and also to satisfy their cravings.
But unexpectedly, he encountered Li Qin, the sixth brother.
They secretly used a spell to spread the smell of hot pot throughout the entire courtyard.
The result is that meat that should taste delicious just doesn't feel quite right when you put it in your mouth.
The person most qualified to speak on this matter is the deaf old lady next door to Li Qin.
Following Yi Zhonghai's instructions, the woman stir-fried half a pound of meat and two eggs.
Then she delivered most of the meat, half of the eggs, two steamed buns made from two kinds of dough, and a bowl of porridge to the deaf old woman's house in the backyard.
"Grandma, didn't you say a few days ago that you had no taste in your mouth and wanted to eat meat? Today, Zhonghai got his salary and went to buy some meat."
"I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
An older woman said with a smile to the deaf old woman.
Upon hearing this, and seeing the stir-fried meat and scrambled eggs on the table, the deaf old woman suddenly regained her senses.
With a satisfied smile, she nodded and said:
"It's all thanks to Zhonghai's kindness and the care you two have given me that I, an old woman with limited mobility, can have such a good life now."
The older woman, who had initially been somewhat dissatisfied with the deaf old lady, showed a genuine smile after hearing what she said.
The fact that the deaf old woman could say that proves she knows right from wrong.
That way, it won't make the older woman too disheartened.
After setting out the food, the older woman immediately helped the deaf old woman to sit down at the table.
The deaf old woman had already been drooling over the smell coming from Li Qin's house, and now she couldn't resist anymore.
He casually put down his cane, then eagerly picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.
He thought his taste buds would be satisfied in the next second.
But to his surprise, the meat that he thought would be delicious wasn't so tasty after all.
It didn't meet the level the deaf old woman had expected.
Especially when the smell of hot pot wafted over, the deaf old woman felt that the meat in her mouth tasted like wax.
The deaf old woman's face immediately darkened.
A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
This immediately made an older woman standing nearby feel displeased.
Keep in mind that they only had half a pound of meat and two fried eggs in total.
The older woman barely ate any herself, giving most of it to the deaf old lady, and now the old lady hasn't even offered a word of praise.
Instead, she showed a look of disgust, which made the middle-aged woman unwilling.
The woman instinctively wanted to say something, but thinking of Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards the deaf old woman at home, she immediately held back.
However, she didn't want to stay here any longer:
"Grandma, you eat first. I'll head back now and come back to collect the dishes later."
Without waiting for the deaf old woman's reaction, he immediately turned around and left her house.
It was only then that the deaf old woman realized she had made a silly mistake.
The deaf old woman opened her mouth.
I was planning to say something to try and persuade the older woman to stay.
But just then, a strong aroma of hot pot meat wafted over.
This immediately interrupted the deaf old woman's train of thought.
In that delay, the old lady had already walked far away.
Seeing this, the deaf old woman could only sigh helplessly.
However, she was not worried.
The deaf old woman knew very well that the person who truly held power in the Yi family was always Yi Zhonghai, not the old woman.
The deaf old woman knew that Yi Zhonghai would never have an unpleasant encounter with her over such a trivial matter.
On the contrary, she was quite certain that even if the older woman said something after she got home, Yi Zhonghai would only advise her to be patient.
