Chapter 356 - Full Moon Banquet 2
Today’s full moon banquet Su Shi prepared is a hot pot, and it is also a seafood pot.
Of course, the seafood pot is for women and children. After all, children can’t eat things that are too spicy, and women can’t eat things that are too spicy, so Su Shi prepared two flavors. It’s not the mandarin duck pot, but the different flavors of the two pots.
The bottom of the seafood pot is a stew of various seafood. Dried seafood such as scallops, dried scallops, sea cucumbers, and fish lips are put into stew. Of course, in addition to these, a lot of delicious seafood is added and stewed. After stewing for a long time, it is delicious.
The other pot is spicy beef and mutton bone soup. The beef and mutton bones left over from the beef and mutton slices eaten in the steam pot during the Chinese New Year are all left to stew the soup. Su Shi also added some special flavors of his own. The ingredients were put into the stew, the bones were broken, and after stewing for several hours, all the bone marrow flowed out, and the taste was particularly fragrant.
Coupled with the hot pot base that was sautéed by Su Shi, the spicy and fragrant taste is more appealing to the appetite. I have already smelled the taste of this spicy beef and mutton bone soup before the table is opened. The guests were all drooling.
Su Shi and Chen Tiezheng have prepared a lot of ingredients, and their knife skills are very good. There was also a lot of beef and mutton that I had eaten during the Chinese New Year, so I took them out and sliced them. I also sliced all kinds of seafood and fish, and cleaned crabs and shrimps.
Beef slices, mutton slices, shredded chicken, chicken offal, duck offal, tender tofu, tofu skin, oily tofu, yuba, jiwei shrimp, Pipi shrimp, green shrimp, Chinese Splendid Lobster, Australian lobster, swimming crab, flower crab, king crab, Breaded crab, abalone, scallop, razor clams, beef louver, pork belly, lamb belly, etc., as well as soybean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, lettuce, lettuce, **** heart, baby cabbage, chives, chives, wax gourd, loofah, spinach, lotus root, bamboo shoots , mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, hazel mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, chicken fir mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, bamboo fungus, etc.
All these ingredients have been cleaned and prepared, and they can be eaten after everyone is seated.
Su Qiao and the others are not afraid of being poor. The old director of the hospital came to the banquet with his wife, but several doctors from the hospital did not come. Doctor Wang originally planned to come, but when Su Qiao was about to ask for leave He can only continue to work at the hospital. The hospital doesn’t have so many people to keep Dr. Su Qiao and Dr. Wang from going to work. Although the hospital doesn’t have any major surgery now, it still needs doctors to be on duty.
So on the other side of the hospital, the old director and the doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital brought their respective wives and children to the banquet together, while Zhong Zhanguo’s family came with all their children, and Zhang Qunjia’s children also came.
Of course, the five children of Zhong Zhanguo actually brought the youngest two here. Zhong Pojun, a boy from the Zhong family, and his second brother and eldest sister were all left at home to prepare their own meals. Today’s banquet is all their share. no.
And the eldest girl from Zhang Qun’s family didn’t come either. Zhang Qun brought his wife Liu Yunmian and his two youngest children. The rest of the children are in their teens and can prepare their own meals, so they don’t need to come to the banquet. .
On the contrary, all the children of Feng Yu’s family have been brought here. Who made her quadruplets only one year old? So Feng Yu and his wife, plus her sister, and her five children, at least eight of them all went to Nuan Nuan’s house to eat together.
Liu Xiangnan’s family also came together. They only have one child now, so they brought them here. However, Yu Suyun is also pregnant at this time. She is now four months pregnant, and she will be imported again soon.
Several families were lively, the men gathered there to eat, and the women sat on the other side with Nuan Nuan. The men ate the bottom of the beef and mutton bone spicy soup, while the women ate the umami-flavored seafood soup.
“Wow—it’s so rich—”
Zhang Yunge, who was able to come to the banquet with her parents, was very happy to see the rich ingredients. She really didn’t expect that Uncle Su Qiao’s banquet was prepared with so many ingredients. This meal must be very happy.
“There’s so much seafood, wow—prawns—crabs—” Zhong Shanshan, the youngest daughter of the Zhong family, also sat happily beside Zhang Yunge, then pulled Zhang Yunge’s clothes and said, “Sister Yunge, okay? Big lobsters and crabs.”
Zhong Shanhu is talking about lobsters and king crabs. Whether it is the Chinese Splendid Lobster, it is not as big as the Australian lobster and Boston lobster, but it is beautiful. The latter is very large, which makes Zhong Shanhu, who has never left the Daxing’an Mountains since childhood, especially ticklish.
“Such big lobsters and crabs, are they delicious?” Zhong Shanhu asked with a coveted face.
“It must be delicious, such a big lobster must be delicious.” Zhang Yunge said with great certainty.
“Don’t make trouble, sit down and eat quickly.” Liu Yunmian patted her daughter’s head with a smile, and then took the children to their seats.
“Don’t be polite, everyone. Today is the full moon day for our eldest baby. It’s good for everyone to eat and drink happily on such a festive day.” Yu greeted the guests with a smile and said, as the female elder of the host family, she, As a matter of course, greet all guests.
“Come on, this is the juice I just squeezed today. It just so happens that the children can’t drink, so drink some juice?” Mrs. Zhou also smiled and took out a large pot of juice and put it on the table, beckoning to pour it out for the little guests juice for them to drink.
“Auntie, give them some juice, they won’t be able to eat much in a while.” Song Yunlan said with a smile.
“It’s okay, let’s have some appetizers first.” Zhou Shi said with a smile.
“Alright, alright, let’s sit down and eat. Let’s cook whatever you like.” Yu greeted him. “Would you like to eat some shrimp or crab? Or do you prefer beef or mutton?”
“By the way, what kind of dipping sauce do you like? Tell me, and I will help you adjust the dipping sauce.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law, I’ll make it myself.” Liu Yunmian refused with a smile. She can still make her own dipping sauce, although the dipping sauce prepared by a chef like Su Qiao is more delicious. But it’s more suitable for you.
“Okay, what kind of dipping sauce do the children like? Do you like peanut sesame and sesame oil? Or do you like garlic soy sauce? Would you like to put a little dry chili powder?”
“Come on, cook what you like, don’t you like lobster? Put it in and cook it. You can cook the lobster and crab for a longer time, or you can put it in earlier.”
“Do you like mutton or chicken? Do you like beef? Would you like to cook some mutton or beef?”
“Okay, everyone, have a good time eating.”
