Chapter 305 Pickled Pepper Chicken Feet
"I can only call Xu Chong my younger brother in front of others, but you can only treat him as my family. I hope you won't blame me for disobeying your superiors."

family……

Judging from his age, it would be more reasonable to call himself Cen Ying’s frail husband.

Xiao Luoan nodded slightly, "It's okay, it's just a temporary solution, but I'm sorry to have wronged you..."

An unmarried girl should be treated as his wife.

"I don't feel wronged." Cen Ying's eyes were firm. "Young Master is of high status, so it's okay to call you daddy."

Xiao Luoan, "..."

Am I going to be a father all of a sudden?

"At my age..." Xiao Luoan felt a little resistant.

"I know some simple disguise techniques. Although I can't make it look exactly like me, I can make you look old even from a distance."

Cen Ying added, "Let's say the three of us are a father and daughter, plus a servant, it's reasonable and won't be noticed."

Even the people sent by the Second Young Master would mostly look for young men and would not have thought that he would pretend to be old.

Xiao Luoan, "..."

Give up struggling!

"Then it's as you say." Xiao Luoan responded.

It seems decisive, but in fact it is just gnashing of teeth.

When Cen Ying saw that Xiao Luoan agreed to this matter, he immediately ordered people to go and prepare.

First, we need to buy a courtyard in Xinghua Lane...

Here, Xia Mingyue opened the jar of kimchi.

What hits you is a strong sour and spicy taste with a mellow and rich aroma that makes you sniff your nose several times.

Xia Mingyue also sniffed the wonderful taste with great enjoyment, and then found a clean pair of long bamboo chopsticks and took out the pickled radish and peppers from the jar.

At this time, the peppers and radishes all looked extremely juicy, with a bit of candied transparency. When you take a bite, you will find them extremely crisp, sour, spicy, and slightly sweet...

Good appetizer and go well with rice!
This was Xia Mingyue’s first reaction when she took her first bite of kimchi.

After singing kimchi, the first reaction of others was to feel the sour and spicy taste and want to find water or staple food to relieve the sour and spicy taste in their mouths. But when they took the second bite, they felt that it was sour and refreshing, with the right degree of spiciness, refreshing and appetizing...

I want another bite!
Have another bowl of rice!
Of course, it would be best if there was a plate of meat to go with it...

Xia Mingyue felt very satisfied while eating the sour and delicious kimchi, but immediately thought of an even more delicious food - pickled chicken feet!
In this increasingly hot weather, in addition to your daily meals, what a delicious experience it would be to have some pickled pepper chicken feet that you can’t stop eating the more you chew them.

Especially when summer is coming, a plate of pickled pepper chicken feet and a bowl of ice jelly, one is sour and spicy, the other is sweet and delicious...

I can’t even imagine what kind of fairy life it is like?
When Xia Mingyue thought of this, she felt the saliva in her mouth was secreted crazily. She swallowed her saliva several times, and then she couldn't wait to start studying how to make pickled pepper chicken feet.

The pickled vegetables are obviously very successful. Just pickle another jar of chili peppers and you will have a large amount of pickled peppers to use. There is no need to worry about that.

The only thing that requires planning is the chicken feet.

In this era, chickens are sold whole and are rarely cut into batches and sold separately, so chicken feet are not easy to get in large quantities.

However, in her Xia Ji’s central kitchen, a large amount of braised chicken was sold every day, and as for the chicken feet... So, in the next few days, Xia Ji’s braised food shop had two styles of braised chicken.

One is a whole braised chicken with chicken feet, and the other is a braised chicken without chicken feet. The price difference between the two is ten cents.

Ten coins for a bowl of wontons with thin skin and big fillings, or two taels of pork, or a basket of steamed dumplings...

Just by losing a pair of chicken feet with little meat in them, you can save a full ten cents!
Therefore, anyone who goes to Xia Ji’s Braised Food Shop to buy braised chicken will choose the braised chicken without chicken feet.

When those families who could not normally eat meat heard that a braised chicken without chicken feet could be bought for ten cents cheaper, they could not help but buy one to satisfy their cravings and add some money to their family income.

All of a sudden, the business of Xia Ji's Braised Food Shop, which was already quite prosperous, became even more prosperous than before.

But while it's so popular, some people are quite surprised by it.

"Hey, why do the braised chickens at Xia's Braised Food Shop have no claws?"

"Could it be that we just received a batch of lame chickens?"

"There aren't so many lame chickens. I think Xia Ji's stewed food shop wants to offer discounts to attract more customers, but it's difficult to directly lower the price, otherwise the previous customers will be unhappy. So they just find an excuse that the chickens have no chicken feet so that they can sell them at a lower price."

"That makes sense..."

"Why do I always feel that someone wants to eat chicken feet, so they chop off the chicken feet and then make braised chicken without chicken feet and sell it to us?"

"You must be crazy. There's no meat on chicken feet. Why would anyone eat that? Wouldn't it be better to have some meat?"

"That's right, unless that person is a fool..."

At this moment, the "fool" Xia Mingyue is processing all the chopped chicken feet for the next step.

First, wash and remove the nails, chop the chicken feet into pieces of appropriate size, cook them in boiling water with seasonings such as pepper, bay leaves, ginger, star anise, white wine, and white vinegar, then take them out and quickly put them into cold water to wash off the floating foam and oil.

Put the cooked and cleaned chicken feet into a bowl, add ginger, peppercorns, chili peppers, pickled peppers and pickled pepper water, then pour in some boiled water. Let it sit for a whole day before you can eat it.

Logically speaking, if some fresh lemon is added to the pickled chicken feet, the sour taste will be more refreshing and the chicken feet will taste different, but at that time, there was no news of where to buy lemons, so Xia Mingyue had to give up and only eat the pickled chicken feet without lemon.

But even so, the pickled pepper chicken feet are still extremely sour and refreshing, and the chicken feet are chewy and crispy, tasting even more delicious than the previously refreshing pickled radish.

And is……

The more you eat, the spicier it tastes, and the spicier it tastes, the more satisfying it tastes, and the more satisfying it tastes, the more you want to eat.

can not stop at all!

Everyone was eating with a chuckle, gasping for air, but they kept putting piece after piece of pickled pepper chicken feet into their mouths...

"This chicken foot..." (chew chew chew chew)

"It's too spicy!" (Chew chew chew chew)

"It's so spicy!" (Chew chew chew chew)

“It’s really, really, really spicy!” (Chew chew chew chew)

Xia Mingyue even specially made some soy milk that could relieve the spicy feeling in her mouth, put it in a cool place, and ate it with the pickled pepper chicken feet, hoping to achieve the goal of eating the pickled pepper chicken feet to her heart's content at once...

Just when everyone's lips were almost swollen from the spicy pickled pepper chicken feet, Shi Yong came to find Xia Mingyue again.
