Chapter 106: Shabu Mutton

The most suitable day for eating hot pot is the most suitable for eating hot pot, sitting in front of the steaming copper pot, sandwiching a few pieces of mutton slices to shabu for a while, and then dipping some sauce, it tastes very refreshing.

Jiang Hui and Bai Xue came to a sheep village, asked for a few plates of mutton, green vegetables and bean curd, and happily ate mutton.

"This is the first time we have eaten hot pot this winter, and this mutton feels better than that of Lingnan Province," Bai Xue said.

"Well, indeed, it is probably because the imperial capital is closer to the grassland, so there are more mutton to choose from," Jiang Hui said.

Eating in the imperial capital, you can eat some historical stories many times, whether it is a cheap shop, Quanjude, or Tan family cuisine. Even the little mutton shabu has its story.

The legend of shabu mutton originated in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, commanded a large army to the south. One day, when people were sleepy and hungry, he suddenly remembered the dish of his hometown, stewed mutton, so he ordered his subordinates to kill the sheep and burn the fire. Just as the man was slaughtering sheep and cutting meat, the probe horse galloped into the tent to report the approaching enemy. Kublai Khan, who was so hungry that he was waiting to eat mutton, shouted while ordering his troops to pull out: "Mutton! mutton!" The cook knew that he had a violent temperament, so he was in a hurry, cut off more than ten pieces of thin meat with a flying knife, stirred them in boiling water a few times, and when the color of the meat changed, he immediately scooped them into a bowl and sprinkled them with fine salt. Kublai Khan ate a few bowls and turned over his horse to lead his army to meet the enemy, and the result was a victory.

When preparing for the celebration banquet, Kublai Khan specially ordered the mutton slices. The chef selected the tender meat of the sheep, cut it into thin slices, and served it with various condiments, and the handsome people were full of praise after eating. The chef hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There is no name for this dish yet, please give it a name." Kublai Khan replied with a smile: "I think it's called 'shabu mutton'!" Since then, "shabu mutton" has become a court delicacy.

Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, the meat of shabu mutton is indeed fine and tender, and the meat slices are evenly thin. In addition, the seasoning is diverse and delicious, the shabu-shabu is mellow and fragrant, and it is ready to eat after shabu, the fragrance is pure, tender and delicious, in such a cold day, it makes Jiang Hui and Bai Xue eat very refreshingly.

"Honey, you need to eat more mutton," Bai Xue said.

"Why do you say that?", Jiang Hui asked.

"Because it is said that mutton is a good product to help Yuanyang, replenish sperm and blood, treat lung deficiency, benefit strain, and warm the stomach, and is an excellent warming and strengthening agent," Bai Xue said with a smile.

"Hehe, hehe, you can feel it that night and see if this mutton supplement has any effect," Jiang Hui said with a wicked smile.

"People tell you to be serious, you think of some bad things," Bai Xue said.

"I don't know if it's strong or not, but eating mutton often in winter can increase the body's calories and resist the cold, which should be true," Jiang Hui said.

……

The two of them chatted while eating, but they hadn't spoken so well for a while.

"Everyone in our dormitory has registered for the intranet, and it's very popular now, my dear, you're so amazing," Bai Xue said.

"This is just an appetizer, and more exciting things are still to come, and when the company is on the right track, I will take you to visit," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, but my economics major doesn't seem to be very compatible with your company," Bai Xue said.

"It doesn't matter if you are a major or not, many people are engaged in things that have nothing to do with their major after graduation. If you're interested, I'll arrange for you to do something on the school intranet, and you're a shareholder anyway," Jiang Hui said.

"I said I didn't want it, I didn't do anything," Bai Xue said.

"Why didn't you do anything?,At the beginning, when the school intranet was not launched, I didn't let you test and use it and give opinions.。 And you reminded me of working with the student union," Jiang Hui said.

"It's nothing, I don't want to go to the intranet anyway, or people will always think I'm coming in because I'm your girlfriend," Bai Xue said.

"It's okay, when the time comes, you can go to another company to help me, your man is not only engaged in the school intranet now," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, I'll be your treasurer when the time comes, and I'll help you keep an eye on your money bag," Bai Xue said.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want," Jiang Hui said.

"What kind of movie should we watch at night?" said Bai Xue.

"I can watch anything, I care about who I watch it with," Jiang Hui said.

"Me too, then we'll find a film that we can watch right away without waiting," Bai Xue said.

……

After eating, the two of them came to the cinema and found a movie with more films, called "Jade Guanyin".

"Jade Guanyin" is based on Hai Yan's work, and the purpose is to show the police Anxin's love-hate entanglement of four men, which is mixed with the contest between responsibility and love, the concept of justice, the ideal view and reality.

However, Jiang Hui feels that the expression of this movie is very insufficient, both artistically and entertaining. Moreover, the director's status of the heroine's theme is not clear, and the film lacks delicate close-ups and long shots to dissect Anxin's inner world, which makes everyone lack a sense of substitution when watching this movie and is detached from the protagonist's emotions. So much so that the movie is over, and Jiang Hui and Bai Xue still don't know where the theme of peace of mind is. Jiang Hui felt that Zhao Wei's interpretation of peace of mind was, to be honest, very superficial. The role of Anxin should be a person with a very personal world in the movie, she is kind, persistent, conservative and open-minded. However, Jiang Hui didn't see it.

However, the two of them came to see the movie tonight, and they didn't go to the movie itself, so they finished watching it.

"The hotel next to it is built on the thirtieth to fortieth floor of the building, it is said that the view is very good, and the surrounding area is not blocked, should we go and experience it tonight?", out of the cinema, Jiang Hui said to Bai Xue.

"It's so expensive to stay in this hotel for one night, why don't we go back to the rental house," Bai Xue said.

"Don't be afraid, we don't live every day, there is no class tomorrow, we can sleep together. Baby, we haven't tried it in the morning, hehe," Jiang Hui said.

"Jiang Hui, you are hopeless, you think about that little thing every day", Bai Xuejiao said angrily.

Jiang Hui saw that Bai Xue no longer objected, so he led her into the hotel and opened a big bed room on the 40th floor at the front desk.

At this time, the average house price in the imperial capital is less than 10,000, so the hotel room price is not too expensive, just such a room tonight, in the future generations will definitely come down for a thousand yuan, now only 488, so affordable.
