Goo-goo-goo.Goo-goo-goo.The thick white fish soup has been boiled, gurgling, large and small bubbles, two fish heads can be vaguely seen fluttering, and the faint fragrance wafts throughout the room, obviously there is no special taste, but people can't help but swallow saliva."
It's time to go.What's wrong?
They all froze in place, this is not a dish to be eaten with the eyes, and it is only counted when you eat it in your mouth. ”Holden came over with the fish balls and shrimp balls that had just been completed, but found that everyone was sitting around the table as if they were being punished, but no one moved, just staring at the brass pot in the center, and the stunned appearance looked as if they were being punished, which was particularly funny."
What's wrong, because of the fish head?"
Hordon didn't know why, and then realized that fish heads, offal, claws and other ingredients still have many taboos in the Leia Empire, and are more considered slum food, not to mention the aristocracy, even ordinary people will not eat it, only those who are destitute and can't even afford potatoes will choose these "junk ingredients".The Lechman family's economic situation is indeed not good, but it is not to the bottom, at least for the time being, and they are not living on the streets.Holden is about to explain the fish head, hoping to let them know with practical actions that this is just the bottom of the pot, and if they don't like it, they don't need to eat it.But Nair explained ahead of time, "Uh, how should we eat it?"
”Nair looked at Hodden helplessly and blinked.Immediately afterwards, Hodden found that everyone's eyes were gathered towards him, and there was a little dazed in his eyes, not because of the fish head taboo, but more because he couldn't start, which made him laugh directly, "Sorry, please forgive me for my negligence, come on, I'll show you how." ”Hodden quickly put down the small plate in his hand, then found his knife, fork and dinner plate, and looked around, the smile on his lips couldn't help but rise with the gaze of those eyes.Hodden pointed to the small dish of red oily peppers, "This is a very pungent seasoning, Zach and Connor had better not try it, not only that, before others officially try it, I recommend dipping it a little bit, taste the taste, if it is acceptable, then more, if it is not acceptable, no or less, this is no problem, just mix it according to your own preferences." ”"Your own preferences?
This is probably the first time I was treated since I was a child. ”Mr.
Lechman laughed heartily.David Lechman is forty-three years old, and he has a loyal and honest mustache that only a gentleman takes the time to take care of, but the shape of his beard is a little out of shape, and you can see the difference in details.What's more, he was wearing a dark gray suit and three-piece suit, the cuffs and collar were beginning to be frayed, and faint traces of repair could be seen at the elbows and pockets, although Madame Lechman was a clever woman, and the repairs were very cleverly hidden, but they could not be perfectly concealed after all.Even when he was joking with Hoden at this time, Mr.
Lechman himself was the first to laugh innocently, and then quickly looked at the atmosphere around him, lest his joke was not appropriate, until he noticed that Nair and Hoden were laughing along, and his eyes relaxed.Naturally, Hoden didn't mind, and said with a smile on his face, "The essence of this dish is to choose according to your preference. ”As he spoke, Hoden picked up an iron spoon, spooned some garlic, some oil, some chili oil, some raw chili peppers, and some vinegar, and stirred it gently."
These are the seasonings, the dipping sauces, and you can choose the type and amount you like.If you're not sure about it for the first time, you can choose a small number of them, try them, and then slowly adjust them to your taste.Everyone's preferences are different, and that's okay. ”Then, Holden stabbed two pieces of Gianozzo with a fork and put them into the brass soup pot - instead of chopsticks, using a fork, it always felt a little less flavorful, but at this time and now he can eat hot pot, Holden didn't care so much, gently stirred the thick soup with a fork, and watched Gianozzo start to change color from bright red, and then quickly fished it out.Put it on the plate and dip it gently, I can't wait to put it in my mouth, and the wonderful taste of fresh and sweet instantly bursts out on the tip of my tongue, which is a taste that makes people want to scream, and every cell in my body can't wait to start breathing heavily, this mouthful is really missing for a long time.The thin slices of meat absorb the thick soup, and when you chew it, the juice bursts, and the whole mouth feels filled with that nostalgic taste.The eye sockets are a little warm.I guess it's been burned.But even if it was hot, Hoden swallowed it with a satisfied expression, and his eyes refocused, only to notice that everyone was watching him, waiting for the next step, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed widely."
Well, that's it."
Holden nodded slightly, "You choose your favorite ingredients, put them in the pot, cook them, and then dip them in the sauce, and that's it."
It's that simple.However, some ingredients need to be cooked for a longer period of time to ensure they are cooked, while others are not so particular and can be scalded quickly. ”Seeing that Pete's pitiful expression was about to cry, and his saliva was already about to flow out, Holden quickly beckoned, "You can start now, everyone do it yourself, this is a delicacy that those noble lords will never be able to enjoy, because it must be done yourself to taste the best." ”Pete was the first to pick up the knife and fork, his eyes were aimed at Gianozzo, and he was immediately ready to act, but he noticed Mrs.
Lechman's eyes, and he couldn't help but pause slightly, and then politely said to Hoden, "Hoden, thank you for inviting us to dinner. ”"Hah, my pleasure."
Hodden reciprocated with a big smile.Pete then couldn't wait to throw Gianozzo into the soup pot, looking at the slices of meat that were tumbling in the soup pot."
Holden, thank you.""
Thank you......
Thank you. ”Connor and Zack's milky voices also stammered, and Holden turned his head to look over, and at a glance he saw Jasmine, whose cheeks were slightly red, staring at him brightly, and Holden chuckled, "If you don't hurry up, the soup will be dry." ”Jasmine was frightened by this, exclaimed "ah", and then quickly began to move, she was in charge of taking care of Connor, and Mrs.
Lechman was in charge of taking care of Zack, plus Mr.
Lechman and Nair also joined in, and the whole atmosphere was in full swing.Hoden couldn't help but laugh again as he watched everyone's unfamiliar movements: everyone obediently threw a piece of meat down, and then went into waiting mode like a wangfu stone, and their necks stretched out like a game of whack-a-mole.It's definitely not a static picture.()
