Chapter 80 - 80 Delicious eggplant
80 Delicious eggplant
“Alright!” Ji Zhao chuckled. “Then I’ll wait and see!”
Ji Zhao immediately squatted on the ground and helped pick the chili.
The chili peppers she picked, be it green or red, were especially plump and bright.
“Eh?” Ji Zhao, who was squatting on the ground picking chili, accidentally caught a glimpse of a dark purple color and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly walked to her side and asked softly, “Ah Tao, what’s wrong?”
“Mother, we have eggplants as well?” Ji Zhao asked with a curious smile when she saw the dark purple eggplants.
“This is a purple fruit!” The confused Zhao Lanhua scratched her head silently. “Ah Tao, what did you just say this is?”
“Eggplant.” Ji Zhao’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Eggplant has many effects. Not only can it resist aging, but it also has the effect of reducing swelling and pain.”
“The charcoal roasted garlic eggplant is especially delicious! And although the pickled eggplant stinks, it tastes especially delicious!” Ji Zhao asked excitedly, “Mother, can we pluck these eggplants?”
“Ah Tao, is this purple fruit really edible?” Zhao Lanhua was still skeptical.
She had lived for so many years, but she had never heard of purple fruits being called eggplants.
“It really is!”
That afternoon, Ji Zhao used these two eggplants to make two delicious dishes.
“This is garlic minced meat eggplant!” Before lunch, Ji Zhao explained with a smile, “The other is a fried stuffed eggplant. Father, Mother, Second Sister-in-law, Shen Yao, why don’t you try it?”
The garlic fragrance of the garlic minced meat eggplant was strong, and coupled with a bit of chili sauce, it was very delicious! In addition, the fried stuffed eggplant was also especially delicious. It was crispy, not greasy, and made people want to eat even more.
In the end, the Shen family ate every last drop on the plates to express their highest respect for Ji Zhao’s culinary skills!
“It’s so fragrant!” Second Sister-in-law Shen could not help but burp. “If not for the fact that… burp… I… burp… I really can’t eat anymore. I must have two more bowls of rice!”
“I didn’t expect this purple fruit to really be edible?”
Zhao Lanhua, who had put down her chopsticks, was still smacking her lips. “But Ah Tao, you’re really amazing!”
“Ah Tao’s culinary skills are really amazing!” Second Sister-in-law Shen also smiled and teased, “Ever since I ate Ah Tao’s cooking, my waist has gotten wider!”
Now, Second Sister-in-law Shen was in both pain and happiness! She did not want to miss out on any of Ah Tao’s delicacies! However, she had really gained weight. Sigh! This feeling was really a sweet burden!
Two days later, Shen Yao accompanied Ah Tao into the city to buy tofu.
“Ah Tao, is the stinky tofu you mentioned really that delicious?” Shen Yao expressed his deep suspicion. Would the food that smelled stinky taste good?
“I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say now. When I make it, you’ll know how delicious that Stinky Tofu is!” Ji Zhao said with a gentle smile. “Shall we leave now? After we buy the ingredients, we’ll look for Big Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law?”
“Alright, as you wish,” Shen Yao agreed happily.
An hour later, after Shen Yao brought Ji Zhao into the pastry shop, he immediately saw Shen Dalang lying in front of the counter with a worried expression.
“Eldest Brother, what’s wrong?” Shen Yao hurriedly walked forward and asked with concern.
Shen Dalang subconsciously avoided Shen Yao’s gaze and said with a bright smile, “Third Brother, I’m fine. I’m just bored and daydreaming.”
“Big Brother, tell me the truth.” Shen Yao’s face was tense as he asked sternly.
