Chapter 49: Sunuo inherited her talent for cooking.
Sunuo ran to buy some vermicelli, sausages, several kinds of mushrooms, tripe, duck intestines and other essential things for hot pot. Then he bought a few side dishes.
"Is this enough? What kind of base did you use?" Mother Su is not very good at hot pot. She rarely cooks it.
"I'll put the things back later and then come out to buy the hot pot base!" Su Nuo replied to Su's mother.
"Okay! Don't forget to buy that lemon you mentioned!" Mother Su reminded Su Nuo.
"Okay!" Su Nuo returned home with several bags of vegetables. Then she hurried to Tianheng Supermarket. She happened to see Youdezhuang's hot pot base in the supermarket. Su Nuo was very happy. She used to like to cook hot pot with this base.
"Spicy, super spicy!" Sunuo took two packets of super spicy hot pot base and went to get a dozen lemons. He paid the bill and went home.
After returning home, Su Nuo saw that his mother had already prepared several vegetables and was ready to cut them.
"I've boiled some water. Go ahead and decide how to cook the pig intestines!" Mother Su said to Su Nuo.
"Okay!" Sunuo put down what he was holding. He quickly washed the lemon and cut it into slices. He put the pig intestines and lemon in the pot and boiled them. He then rubbed the pig intestines with lemon and washed them several times with hot water.
"Mom, smell it! There's no smell now!" Sunuo handed over a pig intestine with chopsticks.
Mother Su smelled it and said, "There is indeed no smell anymore. Your method is really good!" Mother Su said with admiration on her face.
"It's getting late! We have to cook quickly. Didn't you say you wanted to cook hot pot? Here's the induction cooker. Go ahead and try it!" Mother Su said, pointing at the induction cooker in the living room. "Okay!" Su Nuo started to wash the dishes for the hot pot.
"Mom, where's the bacon?" Sunuo felt that the hot pot would taste better if bacon and sausages were put into it!
"Over there, it's cut!" said Mother Su, pointing to a large plate of bacon.
"Great!" Su Nuo went to the living room, poured in a proper amount of oil, and fried the hot pot base. There were also chili peppers and peppercorns at home. She grabbed some and put them in, and also put some ginger and garlic in. After frying for a minute or two, she added a lot of water. She covered the pot and waited for the soup base to boil before adding the vegetables.
Immediately wash and cut the key ingredients. After cutting, the hot pot was boiling. Sunuo put the bacon, sausages and the hard-to-cook shiitake mushrooms into the pot.
After cooking a dish, Su's mother smelled the fragrance in the living room. She came over and scooped a small spoonful of soup with a spoon. After the soup cooled a little, she tasted it.
"Well, not bad!" Mother Su was actually worried that Sunuo's hot pot would taste bad. It would be bad if she made a fool of herself! Unexpectedly, after tasting the hot pot base cooked by Sunuo, she felt it was quite good.
"It tastes good, right? It will taste better as it cooks!" Sunuo said proudly.
"Isn't this your first time cooking? Why does it feel like you've cooked it many times?" Mother Su asked Su Nuo puzzledly.
Su Nuo's smug look froze. She coughed and said with a smile, "Watch those videos online every day! It will definitely taste good if you follow them!"
"Is that so?" Mother Su had no doubts. Her daughter was under her eyes every day, and she could see everything she did. Mother Su thought that Su Nuo had inherited her talent for cooking. Su Nuo's grandfather was also a chef, and his cooking skills were very good!
