Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 163 is too few
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about when to eat."

As soon as Zhou Yuanjia finished speaking, a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen. Although Hui Niang's cooking skills were not great, the aroma of the noodles filled the entire courtyard.

Fang Ziheng came out carrying a large bowl of noodles, with Hui Niang following behind carrying bowls and chopsticks.

"Dinner is ready, you can eat now."

Everyone sat around the table, and Xiao Yuanbao couldn't wait to pick up a small spoon and put a noodle into his mouth. It was so hot that he gasped for breath, which made everyone laugh again.

Xu Qingmeng took a bite of the noodles and found the texture surprisingly good. She praised, "Sister-in-law, these noodles are cooked very well; they're soft and chewy."

Hui Niang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Not at all, compared to Meng Niang's cooking skills, it's far inferior. I'm just glad everyone doesn't mind."

This bowl of noodles, with its perfect color and appearance, left everyone burping with satisfaction.

The next morning, Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang went to the market early, since they had agreed with the guests the day before to prepare some meat dishes.

Xu Qingmeng bought two chickens and some pork tenderloin, planning to make Sichuan-style spicy chicken and crispy pork.

Gu Yunyi had tried Sichuan-style saliva chicken before. It combines the four characteristics of Sichuan cuisine: numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant, leaving a lasting impression.

The two chickens were placed directly in a large pot and stewed.

Crispy pork is made with tenderloin and pork shoulder, which are tender and have a good balance of fat and lean meat, resulting in a superior taste.

Xu Qingmeng cut the meat into strips about the thickness of a finger and about five centimeters long.

Add salt, cooking wine, soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorn powder, minced scallions and ginger, mix well, and marinate for half an hour to allow the meat to fully absorb the flavors.

However, the key to this crispy pork is the batter. Xu Qingmeng used starch, flour and eggs to make the batter, and added a little salt and oil, stirring until it became a thick yogurt-like consistency.

Xu Qingmeng evenly coated the marinated meat strips with batter, making sure that each strip was completely covered.

Xu Qingmeng put the meat strips coated in batter into the oil and fried them until golden brown and crispy. She then took them out and drained the oil, and then fried them again to make the crispy meat even crispier.

The aroma of the fried meat strips filled the courtyard, and the adults reading inside, having already eaten breakfast, were able to stay seated.

But children don't have that much self-control, and Xiao Yuanbao couldn't help but drool.

For the first time, Xiao Yuanbao didn't want his own father. He ran over and peeked into the kitchen, watching the two people busy inside.

Hui Niang had her back to the door and didn't see it, but Xu Qingmeng was facing the door. She saw it, smiled, and waved to the door, signaling Xiao Yuanbao to come in.

Little Yuanbao trotted in happily, and Xu Qingmeng casually picked up a small piece of crispy pork and stuffed it into Little Yuanbao's mouth.

Little Yuanbao's beautiful big eyes were narrowed into slits, and his little mouth was moving rapidly, like a little hamster, which was very cute.

After finishing his piece, Xiao Yuanbao gave Xu Qingmeng a big smile and said, "Auntie... Auntie... It's delicious... Thank you... Thank you..."

"You're welcome." Xu Qingmeng pinched Xiao Yuanbao's chubby little face, then handed him another piece.

Hearing the voice, Hui Niang turned around and said, "You naughty monkey, you ate so much for breakfast, you can't eat anymore, all of this is for selling."

"It's okay for a child to eat as much as they want."

After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, she took a small bowl and filled it with a lot of crispy pork for Xiao Yuanbao, so that he could hold it and eat it slowly.

Little Yuanbao was afraid his mother wouldn't let him eat, so he quickly grabbed his small bowl and ran out.

Seeing this, Hui Niang laughed and cursed, "This little brat only has eyes for his father." Although Hui Niang said this, her face was full of doting affection.

Looking at Hui Niang, Xu Qingmeng felt a warmth in her heart. This was probably the affection between family members. Even if they scolded each other, the love in their hearts was not diminished at all.

The chicken stewing in the pot was almost ready, so Xu Qingmeng asked Huiniang to take the chicken out and put it in cold water to cool it down, so that the meat would be firmer and the skin would be crispier.

After the chicken cooled, Hui Niang, with her excellent knife skills, quickly cut it into evenly sized pieces and packed them into a food box.

With all the ingredients prepared, Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang set up their stall together.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang arrived at the stall, and there were an unusually large number of people there today.

Just as the guests said last night, even though the vegetarian dishes were expensive, everyone ate them with great relish. Even though the meat dishes were indeed a bit pricey, they were still very popular.

Xu Qingmeng doesn't make many dishes, just two kinds: crispy pork and Sichuan-style chicken with chili sauce, both of which are very convenient.

The crispy pork is ready. If you can handle spicy food, sprinkle some pepper on it. If you have children at home, this is a great way to eat it.

Saliva chicken is even simpler; it doesn't need to be mixed separately, and you can use the seasoning for cold dishes.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang always worked together very well. Xu Qingmeng was only responsible for mixing the vegetables, while Huiniang handled everything else, including collecting money, weighing items, and even entertaining guests.

"Young lady, what's this fresh food? It smells so delicious."

Hui Niang smiled and said, "Didn't a guest say yesterday that they wanted to order some meat dishes? These are our carefully prepared crispy pork and Sichuan-style chicken. Please try them."

Upon hearing this, the regular customer took the crispy pork that Hui Niang handed him, put it in his mouth, and the moment he bit down, he heard a "crunch," and the crispy texture, along with the aroma of meat, filled his entire mouth.

"Mmm, delicious! This crispy pork is really good!" He praised it as he chewed, but the people behind him were not happy to see him like this.

"Hey you in front, are you buying or not? If not, move aside so we can buy!"

"That's it."

“Buy, who said I wouldn’t buy, young lady, give me four catties of each, and four catties of vegetables too.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmeng hesitated, "Young Master, this... this adds up to quite a lot! Not only are there vegetarian dishes, but the meat dishes also cannot be kept overnight, otherwise they will spoil."

"It's alright, I have a lot of people in my family, so please add more chili oil."

"Row."

Xu Qingmeng quickly and efficiently mixed the ingredients.

The customer left with his things, and the person behind him sighed and said, "Oh dear, we should have known better than to rush him. Now that we've rushed him, he's bought so much of it, and by the time it's our turn, there probably won't be any left."

"you do not say?"

······
Before long, all the meat dishes on the stall were sold out.

Neither Xu Qingmeng nor Huiniang expected that the meat dishes would sell so well; they were all sold out in less than an hour.

The customers behind complained, "You two young ladies, you didn't prepare nearly enough!"

"you do not say!"
