130 Sour and Spicy Noodles
Shen Dashan, who was tidying up the fishing line in the courtyard, saw the commotion outside the door and hurriedly shouted into the kitchen.
“Okay, coming!” Ji Zhao quickly wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
“Second Brother You? Why are you here personally?” When she saw Second Manager You, Ji Zhao was extremely surprised.
“You don’t welcome me?” Second Brother You deliberately asked with a straight face.
“How could that be?” Ji Zhao quickly smiled and said, “I just thought that Second Brother You shouldn’t be troubled to make a trip for such a small matter!”
Only then did Second Brother You smile in satisfaction.
“By the way, Second Brother You, have you had breakfast?”
Second Manager You immediately shook his head. “The weather is extremely dull. I barely drank half a bowl of porridge this morning.”
“Then Second Brother You, wait a moment. I’ll bring Second Brother You a bowl of sour and spicy noodles later.”
“Sour and spicy noodles?” Just hearing this name made Second Manager You salivate. “What kind of delicacy is that?”
“Second Brother You, you’ll know after you try it!” Ji Zhao smiled and kept him in suspense before rushing into the kitchen.
Ji Zhao placed the prepared noodles aside and began to prepare the seasoning.
Actually, it was not difficult to make sour and spicy noodles. The condiments were the key.
“Mother, do we have soybeans at home?” Ji Zhao turned around and asked Zhao Lanhua.
“There should be. Wait a moment!” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and returned to her room. She took out a large bag of soybeans from the cabinet.
“My father asked someone to send this over a few days ago!” Zhao Lanhua said happily. “I always like to eat soybeans in my spare time. This is all I have left. Ah Tao, is it enough?”
“Enough!” Ji Zhao smiled and began to make fried soybeans.
The fried soybeans were crispy!
“The spicy and sour noodles are made with sweet potato noodles. It’s not difficult to make.” Ji Zhao smiled as she prepared the seasoning. “Soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallions, cilantro, fried soybeans, and dried chili powder.”
Precisely mix the corresponding portions and stir them evenly before adding a spoonful of hot oil!
Sizzle!
After being drenched with hot oil, the fragrance of the condiments wafted over.
She scooped up the cooked sweet potato noodles and poured all the seasoning in. Finally, she added a spoonful of crushed peanuts!
“Smells good!” Second Sister-in-law Shen, who had long smelled the fragrance, had already come over. “It smells so good!”
“Second Sister-in-law, do you want to try it?” Ji Zhao asked with a smile.
“Yes!” Second Sister-in-law Shen immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Second Sister-in-law Shen, who had lost her appetite, ate three big bowls of sour and spicy noodles in a row.
Even Second Manager You, who had no appetite, had eaten two bowls!
“Amazing!” Second Manager You rubbed his round belly and said with a smile, “Ah Tao, your culinary skills are really amazing!”
“Actually, it’s because of the weather. Dull weather will affect one’s appetite. Sour and spicy things help to increase appetite. That’s why everyone thinks it’s especially delicious.”
Ji Zhao smiled modestly.
“By the way, Ah Tao, I’m afraid you’ll be staying for a few days this time. Do you want your husband to accompany you?” Second Manager You suddenly patted his head and smiled sheepishly.
“Shen Yao might not be free, right?” Only then did Ji Zhao realize that she had not seen Shen Yao the entire morning. Could it be that he was unhappy because of what happened yesterday?
“I’m free.” Just as Ji Zhao was deep in thought, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
She instinctively turned around and bumped into his embrace.
