Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives

Chapter 47 Pepper goes better with mutton

After a few people sat down, the young man running errands came over quickly and said hello with a smile: "Hello, dear guests, the specialty of our store is mutton noodles, noodles cooked in broth, mixed with mutton oil, supplemented by chopped green onion and wolfberry. Add two more pieces of mutton to ensure the noodles are chewy and the mutton is delicious..."

 The young man's introduction was very fluent and full of emotion.

Hearing what he said, coupled with the delicious smell wafting from the door, Sui Sui felt even hungrier in his belly.

 Her saliva was somewhat disobedient and secreted vigorously.

Originally, Suisui wanted to swallow quietly, not wanting to be discovered. She was actually a greedy little cat.

 However, Feng Xuanrui was beside her and swallowed loudly.

 This encouraged Suisui, and she felt that she should be as brave as her brother.

 Saliva, also swallow loudly!

Suisui mustered up the courage and swallowed.

After swallowing, he carefully observed a few people.

 From elder brother to Grandpa Liu and then to Uncle Qing Wang.

 No one noticed her.

They don’t think that if they swallow their saliva, they will be starving to death, and they will think about eating every day.

 They didn’t even notice that they were swallowing saliva.

 This is originally human instinct.

Especially for children, it is difficult to control their instincts.

 So, what’s weird about swallowing saliva?

 This is no longer my uncle’s house.

Whether she was hungry, greedy, or swallowed, no one would hit her with tools such as fire sticks or brooms.

 I realize this more and more clearly every year.

 This knowledge made her feel at ease.

 Sui Sui sat obediently next to Feng Xuanrui. She didn't know how to order food or tell the waiter what she wanted to eat.

She thought that she would eat whatever her brother ate.

 Believe in my brother every year!

Chili pepper has not yet spread to Bactria, but pepper is already there.

 Because business exchanges have become quite frequent in recent years, the price of pepper has slowly come down and is not as expensive as it was in earlier years.

Even if this is the case, it is not something that just a small corner shop can afford.

 However, the store they entered today obviously used pepper.

Shao Shaolang specially emphasized this point, so that when paying the bill, the guests would understand: This bowl of noodles is expensive for a reason.

 It not only contains fresh and delicious mutton, but also pepper!

 Sui Sui doesn’t know what pepper is.

The system patiently explained to her.

  【Pepper has the effects of warming and relieving pain, lowering Qi and eliminating phlegm, and stimulating appetite. 】

　　【Now it exists in the form of a spice, and its medicinal value will be developed in the future. 】

  【It goes well with mutton~】

The system explained that the problem is...

 Sui Sui still doesn’t understand it well.

 However, she understood one thing.

 That is, this bowl of noodles is very expensive!

 It’s very expensive!

 Realizing this, Suisui moved uneasily in his chair.

Feng Xuanrui was still listening to the young man's introduction. When the other party said that there was pepper in the pot for cooking the mutton, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

There are enough fragrant seasonings, and it is said that there are a lot of Chinese herbal medicines in it.

This sounds delicious, right?

Feeling that his sister sitting next to him was twisting uneasily a few times, Feng Xuanrui turned his head and said curiously: "Sister, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Don't worry, noodles are already being cooked over there." Not in a hurry to eat, but worried about the price.

  She knows about money, but the specific concept is not clear.

However, Suisui knows that if it is too expensive or too much, he will be beaten!

 Occasionally, my uncle would be out and would be scolded by his aunt after having a few drinks with anyone.

The uncle was annoyed by the scolding and would not quarrel with his aunt. He would turn his head and pick up something handy, and he would vent his anger every year.

Hearing his brother ask, Suisui twisted twice uneasily, and then asked in a low voice: "...Brother, is it too expensive?"

expensive?

 Feng Xuanrui has no such concept at all.

 That is to say, after getting to know Suisui, the young boy reluctantly felt a little down-to-earth.

In normal times, Feng Xuanrui would definitely have waved his hand and said: A bowl of noodles costs more than ten cents, how expensive is it?

 Do you look down on Mr. Feng?

However, facing his sister, Feng Xuanrui rarely became gentle and explained softly: "Sister, don't worry, it's just a bowl of noodles. My brother can still afford it."

Lest he could not believe it, Feng Xuanrui quickly said: "When we get back to the palace, you will know that the tea we usually drink when we wake up in the morning is more expensive than this."

 I don’t understand why I need to rinse my mouth when I wake up in the morning?

 Grade Liu taught her how to brush her teeth after she followed her brother.

However, my brother said it is not expensive and will give me a little peace of mind every year.

 By the time the noodles are served, Suisui has no time to think about anything else.

because…

It’s so fresh and fragrant!

 After the cooked noodles are cooked in the fragrant broth, run them through cold water to remove the greasiness slightly.

Then sprinkle with chopped green onion, wolfberry and other appropriate seasonings, then put two pieces of fresh mutton on top, and finally pour hot mutton oil on top gently.

 The collision of cold and heat instantly stimulates the aroma to its maximum intensity.

 The rising white smoke is filled with the alluring flavor of fresh and fragrant food that slowly merges together.

Suisui didn't know how to eat, so she turned her head and prepared to observe how her brother ate, and then imitate it herself.

Feng Xuanrui picked up the chopsticks and stirred quickly.

 A true fusion of scalding hot oil and chewy noodles.

In addition, spices such as cinnamon and star anise, which are stimulated by the hot oil, are intertwined with the noodles as much as possible.

 After the noodles were soaked with the aroma of oil and seasonings, Feng Xuanrui picked out the star anise and cinnamon inside.

These things can be used to flavor them, but eating them is unnecessary!

Suisui observed it for a while, and finally figured it out, so he followed his brother's lead and picked up the chopsticks and started stirring.

 This store uses solid materials and the noodles are also substantial.

That bowl is bigger than Suisui’s head!

The little man was waving his chopsticks, struggling to mix a bowl full of noodles, and he felt happy no matter how he looked at it.

 Doctor Liu smiled and tilted his head, and whispered to Suisui how to do it, which would be more trouble-free.

 He did not directly help Suisui.

 The little girl is pitiful, but the living habits that should be cultivated still need to be cultivated.

 Sui Sui did not find it difficult, only felt it was novel.

There were so many noodles that she couldn’t finish them all.

Stir the noodles and fat evenly. Sui Sui followed Feng Xuanrui's example and picked out the seasonings. Then he moved towards his brother and whispered, "Brother, I can't finish it. Do you want to share some with you?"

 The system said that if you can’t finish the meal and don’t want to waste it, you should tell it in advance.

 It is very impolite to let others eat your leftovers.
