113 Why Didn’t You Ask Me?
“Is… is it?” Ji Zhao subconsciously covered her cheeks and was so nervous that she was incoherent.
Shen Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at her. The smile in his eyes deepened.
“I’ll go to the kitchen first.” Ji Zhao hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Zhao Lanhua pinched her nose and said, “Isn’t the mutton smell too strong? Can the mutton made be delicious?”
“You’ll know if it’s delicious after you try it!” Ji Zhao, who happened to walk into the kitchen, said with a smile, “Although the mutton smells a little pungent, as long as it’s handled well, the pungent smell can be ignored.”
“Ah Tao, do you really know how to make roasted whole lamb?” Second Sister-in-law Shen immediately looked at Ji Zhao with admiration. “I heard from my father that roasted whole lamb is especially delicious. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it in my life!”
“Second Sister-in-law, you can have a feast today!”
Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. Her gaze inadvertently landed on the lamb and some intestines spread out on the stove. Her heart skipped a beat. “Mother, do you have any vermicelli or steamed buns at home?”
“Yes!” Zhao Lanhua immediately turned around and took down the bamboo basket hanging on the roof. “A while ago, I went to the county city to buy a large bundle of vermicelli!”
“Then our family will have lamb intestine vermicelli soup this morning!” Ji Zhao immediately had an idea. “Mother, please help me soak the vermicelli.”
“Okay!”
“What about me? What about me?” Second Sister-in-law Shen asked urgently. “Ah Tao, can I help?”
“Second Sister-in-law, you can help start the fire. Don’t let the fire burn too fiercely.”
“No problem!” Second Sister-in-law Shen patted her chest confidently.
“The mutton vermicelli soup just needs to be fresh, so it’s not difficult to make.” Ji Zhao explained with a smile as she cut the mutton liver, mutton belly, and mutton brain. “There are several tricks to get rid of the mutton smell. Vinegar, radish, and mung beans can get rid of the mutton smell! However, I’m most used to using orange peel.”
Using orange peel could not only remove the smell of mutton, but also leave a trace of fragrance.
He put all the intestines that had been cut into pot of clear water with orange peels and boiled them before taking them out. After the water in the pot boiled, he first put in all the vermicelli that had been soaked. Then, he poured all the intestines, then added salt, ginger, and peppercorns.
When they were taken out of the pot and placed into the bowl, she added a spoonful of chili oil.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
A bowl of fragrant lamb intestine vermicelli soup was ready.
“Fragrant!”
The fragrance from the kitchen quickly spread throughout the entire courtyard!
“Third son, let’s go. Let’s go and see what delicious food your wife made again.” Shen Dashan, who was chopping firewood in the courtyard, was really craving it!
Shen Yao smiled silently when he heard the words ‘your wife’.
A moment later.
Everyone sat around the square table in the central room.
Everyone lowered their heads and quickly finished the bowl of lamb intestine vermicelli soup in front of them!
Soon, the large pot of lamb intestine vermicelli soup was swept away.
“Father, Mother, Second Sister-in-law, do you like the taste of this lamb intestine vermicelli soup?” Ji Zhao asked softly with a faint smile.
“Is there a need to ask?” Second Sister-in-law Shen flashed the empty bowl in her hand. “Look at how clean I’ve eaten.”
Ji Zhao looked at Second Sister-in-law Shen and nodded with a smile. “Second Sister-in-law has always been supportive!”
“Why didn’t you ask me?” Shen Yao suddenly asked Ji Zhao softly.
“Huh?”
Looking into his deep and gentle eyes, Ji Zhao felt her heart beating wildly.
