Chapter 166
Grandma brought the steamed egg custard to the table, and started steaming the potato rice she made today.
Xia Shiyu was delighted to see the steamed egg custard. "Wow, we have steamed egg custard today! That's great!"
When she was a child, her family often steamed egg custard. Yu Juan was very good at steaming egg custard. The egg custard was very beautiful, with few holes and not much water on top.
But as she grew older, her family rarely made steamed egg custard anymore.
Xia Shiyu hadn't thought of it before, but now that she saw it, she started to miss it and remembered the delicious food from before.
"Haha, eat up! I steamed a huge bowl of it, and it's made with eggs from our own chickens. It'll definitely taste even better than before."
"Mmm," Xia Shiyu nodded and first invited Chen Yuzhu to sit down.
"Please sit down." Then he handed her a bowl of rice.
Chen Yuzhu quickly accepted it and thanked her, "Thank you so much."
Yu Juan smiled and said, "Yuzhu, don't be shy here. Eat whatever you like, and remember to let us know if you need anything."
"Okay," Chen Yuzhu nodded. She was quite satisfied with the current situation and felt a great appetite looking at the dishes in front of her.
She could pick up any leaf of vegetable and eat it with it; it tasted delicious.
Xia Shiyu ate the salty potato rice, her mouth filled with the soft and delicate potatoes. She thought that it would taste even better when the winter potatoes ripened later.
The whole family and Chen Yuzhu ate very happily, but although they were satisfied and happy, Chen Yuzhu still went to talk to Xia Shiyu.
"Boss Xia, can I go home for lunch from now on?"
Xia Shiyu asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with the food that doesn't suit your taste?"
"No, no," Chen Yuzhu quickly waved her hand.
"Of course not for that reason. It's because my brother is usually at school and only comes home on weekends, so my mother is home alone. I thought it would be more lively to have lunch with her at noon."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Oh, I see. Then you should go back and keep your aunt company at noon."
Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Why don't you just take some vegetables home? If you can't eat lunch then, take some vegetables home and cook them yourself."
"Thank you so much, Boss Xia." Chen Yuzhu hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise; now her mother could enjoy a delicious meal with her.
With the customer service recruitment matter settled for the time being, Xia Shiyu then began managing the grape business.
Regardless, the grapes have definitely gained a certain level of brand recognition. Xia Shiyu looked at the inventory that was being cleared out again and felt somewhat helpless.
"There were so many people, they managed to snatch everything up."
Xia Shiyu had no choice but to reduce the amount of grapes she bought again, which meant the grapes would have to be pruned more often.
When she put the grapes on the shelf, she glanced at the other vegetables. Although they were also decreasing, the overall amount was still less than that of the grapes. Perhaps people just prefer grapes now.
Xia Shiyu shook her head, not taking it to heart, but the others who bought from the Xia family's shop thought differently.
Liu Nuo was a customer who bought the grapes out of curiosity, wondering if other vegetables also had the same magical effects.
He accidentally clicked on the vegetable page and quickly made a purchase. When he wanted to return the goods, he hesitated because he felt that if the grapes in this store were so amazing, then the other vegetables must also have something special about them.
He didn't ask for a refund, but waited for the food to be delivered.
A few days later, he received the package.
He happily went to the courier store to sign for the package and then carried it home.
As soon as he opened the door, his wife Zhou Han came out, looking curiously at the package in his hand, "What did you buy this time?"
Liu Nuo happily placed the box on the table and began to say, "These are the vegetables I bought online!"
Zhou Han was puzzled, "Why did you buy vegetables online? You can buy them at the farmers' market, and they're fresher there too."
Liu Nuo shook his head, "Wife, you don't know this, these are vegetables from that grape shop we used to go to."
Zhou Han suddenly realized, "Oh, it's from that shop. Since it's the same shop, is there anything special about it?"
Liu Nuo shook her head, "I don't know yet, but I hope so."
After saying that, he took the scissors and opened the package. Inside were bundles of bok choy and lettuce, which still looked fresh and clean, showing no signs of wilting after several days of transport.
Zhou Han nodded, "She looks quite fresh, and she's pretty too."
Liu Nuo nodded, "I think so too. Honey, let's cook this dish for lunch and see how it goes."
Zhou Han nodded, "Okay, you wash the vegetables, and I'll make you some maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot)."
Liu Nuo agreed, "Okay, let's just blanch the vegetables directly in the broth."
After saying that, he took the vegetables to wash. Zhou Han saw him go to wash the vegetables, so she also went to get the ingredients.
We can now take out and eat the beef balls and dried vegetables we bought for hot pot before.
Making maocai is also very simple. Zhou Han takes out the hot pot base and stir-fries it, adds some chili peppers and other seasonings, and then puts the vegetables in one by one to blanch them.
Zhou Han also added some wide rice noodles. She always thinks that adding noodles and rice noodles makes the food taste better when she eats maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) or hot pot.
Once cooked, scoop it out in a large porcelain bowl, then Liu Nuo took it, saying, "Let me do it, be careful it's hot."
"Okay, then you do it and I'll go get two bowls of rice."
Zhou Han scooped two bowls of rice from the small rice cooker next to her, and the two of them sat down at the table and started eating with the hot pot.
Liu Nuo first picked up the bok choy and lettuce, wanting to taste the flavors of these two vegetables.
The first bite of lettuce is crisp and refreshing, with leaves coated in red oil, giving it a unique and invigorating feel. The stems of bok choy, which usually taste dry and bitter, now taste sweet and fragrant.
Zhou Han also curiously picked up a piece with her chopsticks, and immediately the fresh taste of the vegetables mixed with the spiciness created a wonderful chemical reaction in her mouth.
Their eyes lit up, and Zhou Han couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "It's so delicious! Honey, you really have good taste this time. You made the right choice in buying this dish."
Liu Nuo chuckled, "My wife, you're such a great cook. You cooked it perfectly."
Zhou Han shook her head. "You're just too sweet-talking. But I think this dish tastes so good that it's perfect for making some light and refreshing dishes."
After tasting the other dishes, Liu Nuo nodded, "Indeed, these dishes are best enjoyed on their own. Mixing them in the hot pot does make the flavors a bit mixed. The main thing is that the quality of the vegetables is good, so they taste good no matter how they are cooked."
Zhou Han nodded, "I'll use it to make a tofu soup tomorrow, it'll definitely taste good."
"Then I'll just sit back and enjoy it."
Liu Nuo was so satisfied with the vegetables in the shop that she couldn't help but post a nine-grid picture and give it a five-star review.
