Chapter 13

The fresh bamboo shoots were blanched and cooled immediately. It could remove the bitterness while maintaining the crispness it deserved.

Of course, controlling the fire was very important during this process. If one was not careful and cooked too much, the tender bamboo shoot would immediately go limp and lose its appetite.

The bamboo shoots that were simply processed could still stand upright when pinched with hands. This meant that the blanching was just right.

Xiaoxiao gave herself a thumbs up and then dragged out the bamboo mesh board her brother had made from the kitchen.

It didn’t have any technical skills. It was just intertwining bamboo pieces and forming a tablet with gaps.

After Xiaoxiao finished discharging the bamboo shoots, she stuffed the bamboo mesh board into the stove.

The bamboo net board and the flame were about a fist’s length apart. It was just enough to heat the bamboo shoots on it evenly without burning them.

When the bamboo shoot shrank slightly, she pulled back the bamboo board and asked Rong Yan, who was outside.

“Do you mind eating spicy?”

Rong Yan paused for a moment. “It’s fine if it’s just a little.”

Xiaoxiao asked again, “Do you want garlic?”

Rong Yan didn’t say anything. He wasn’t pampered and spoiled. He didn’t eat garlic because it was too smelly.

Hence, Xiaoxiao made a sweet and spicy sauce for him. It was mainly fresh and sweet. She only added a bit of chili powder and used it as an embellishment.

Rong Yan looked at the chili powder in the sauce and hesitated momentarily. Then, under Xiaoxiao’s puzzled gaze, he took a bite. He was stunned when he tasted it. The sauce was not spicy at all. The bamboo shoot strips were crispy and refreshing when he bit into them. There was a faint taste in the saltiness and an imperceptible sweetness.

His stomach, which had been tortured for the past few meals, seemed to have been redeemed. He quickly took another bite.

Xiaoxiao propped her chin and watched him eat. After he finished eating, she handed him another one. She was completely immersed in the joy of successfully feeding him.

Rong Yan, who had grown up in luxury life, did not expect to be interested in such poor food, nor did he expect to finish five or six sticks unknowingly.

After eating, his ears turned red as he thought, “Food is the most important thing for people.” The ancients were not lying to him.

From the emperor to the common people, eating was a major event regardless of their status.

As he began to strategize in his mind, Xiaoxiao only thought that he ate too little.

When she met such customers, she would usually self-reflect first. Was the food not delicious? Or was it not to his liking?

Hence, she took out other bamboo shoots from the stove, using another method to deal with them. “Why don’t you try something else?”

Madam Song happened to hear her words and poked her daughter’s head.

Only her daughter could treat a few wild bamboo shoots as treasures and use them to entertain guests.

It seemed that the young master’s family background was good. He had already eaten a few mouthfuls, but Xiaoxiao still wanted him to eat,
