Chan Chan Adding Two Sets of Cutlery, The Freeloader Is Here Again
The so-called soup pot was actually a hot pot.
Hotpot was not a modern product.
On the contrary, hotpot had a long history.
As early as 1900 years ago, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, hotpot had already taken shape.
What was amazing was that the first place where hotpot appeared was actually in Sichuan and Chongqing.
This might have something to do with the cold and humid climate.
However, the dynasty that promoted hotpot on a large scale was the Yuan Dynasty.
This was related to the northern nomadic people's eating habits of eating meat.
Therefore, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, soup pot (hot pot), a popular dish for all ages, was already well-known.
Chan Chan brought out a copper pot from the kitchen. After lighting up a small stove, she placed the copper pot on top of the stove.
After a while, the soup in the copper pot had already boiled, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Then, she brought over two plates of thin mutton slices, as well as potatoes, cabbage, chrysanthemum, leeks, tofu, yuba, bean sprouts, and other vegetables. She opened the lid and said to Ye Jin,"Young Master, I went to the street to buy some mutton and mutton bones today. I'll stew the bones in the afternoon to make soup. Do you want to get a bowl of bone soup for you to drink while it's hot?!”
Ye Jin glanced at the thin slices of mutton and said unhappily,""Only two plates of mutton today?! You didn't buy more lamb scorpions and internal organs?! Who can eat this bit of meat…"
Chan Chan rolled her eyes at Ye Jin and said unhappily,"You only have that little salary. It's already not bad to have two plates of mutton to eat.”
"You still dare to talk back? Be careful of the family law.”Ye Jin teased.
However, Chan Chan was not afraid of him. She puffed out her small chest and said,"I'm afraid of you…"
Then, when she saw Ye Jin's pitiful look, she couldn't bear to see him.
"There's plenty in the kitchen. How many pairs of hands do I have?"! I told you to hire another cook, but you refused.”
When Ye Jin heard that there was mutton in the kitchen, he immediately beamed with joy.
He did not care about Chan Chan's complaints.
As he scooped two bowls of mutton soup for himself and Chan Chan, he replied,"Didn't you just say that? With my salary, it's already good enough to have mutton to eat. Why do I have to hire a chef…Besides, I'm only used to eating your cooking. Other people's cooking doesn't taste good.”
These words of love did not sound like words of love, but they made the little girl's heart feel as if it was covered with honey.
She looked at her young master shyly and said,""Young Master, wait here. I'll bring out the oil plate and the lamb scorpion.”
"Humph…" Just as Chan Chan finished speaking, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the courtyard door." If you think that the salary given by the imperial court is not much, why don't you resign and retire?! The imperial court did not want to raise so many freeloaders.”
Ye Jin didn't even turn his head and said directly to Chan Chan who had just entered the kitchen,"Chan Chan, take out two more sets of cutlery. Someone is here to eat for free again.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just walked into the courtyard, was so angry that his face turned black.
"Who are you talking about, kid? Who's freeloading?"!”
Ye Jin glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and continued,""You can choose not to eat it."
"Who are you? How dare you talk to my grandfather like that? Aren't you afraid of him?!”At this moment, a childish voice sounded.
Ye Jin lowered his head to take a look. It turned out that the old man was holding a toot little boy in his hand.
Ye Jin had already remembered.
Wasn't this little boy the child who had exposed his scheme when he was watching the commotion at the yamen entrance?!
For some reason, when Ye Jin saw this little boy, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
She immediately said to him with a pleasant expression,"Why don't I dare to talk to your grandfather like this?! He wasn't a big tiger, and he wouldn't eat people.”
"But my grandfather is much fiercer than a tiger. If you make him angry, he will get someone to beat you up.”the little boy said.
Ye Jin shrugged." Then I'm not afraid. I can also get someone to beat your grandfather."”
"If you dare, I will protect grandfather…" As he spoke, he clenched his fists and stood between Ye Jin and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked pleased.
He did not raise his eldest grandson for nothing.
Ye Jin also smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"Old Guo, your grandson is quite filial."”
At this moment, Chan Chan had already brought out the oil plate and lamb scorpion from the kitchen.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just heard Ye Jin praise his eldest grandson, and he was originally very happy. However, when he saw the mutton on the table and the lamb scorpion in Chan Chan's hand, he could not help but sulk and say,"Humph, you're still flaunting yourself as a clean and upright official.”
"What about me?" Ye Jin asked helplessly.!”
"The commoners eat chaff and vegetables, and you still have the mood to eat soup? Moreover, you complain that the imperial court gives you a small salary?! Do you know that your salary is all the fat of the people?!”
Ye Jin: " Yes, there's progress. Yesterday, he said that the people were starving, but today, he changed it to eating vegetables."”
As he spoke, he poured a plate of mutton into the copper pot.
When the color of the mutton turned milky white, he scooped up a large piece and dipped it in sesame sauce, fermented bean curd, spring onions, and garlic. He handed it to Zhu Xiongying, who was already drooling, and joked,"Eat, your saliva is almost falling to the ground.”
Zhu Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing that Old Zhu did not object, he quickly reached out to take the small bowl that Ye Jin handed over and began to eat heartily.
Ye Jin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked,""What about you? Do you want a bowl of the people's fat?!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Ye Jin and picked up the chopsticks on the table. He said while scooping up the mutton,"If you can eat it, why can't I?!”
Great!
This was an old nationalistic youth who was both upright and upright.
However, I don't lack food like you.
Eat!
Just don't choke to death.
Ye Jin said helplessly in his heart.
