Chapter 235: Hot Pot and Ice Water
When I think of the days of eating hot pot in winter, Ernst & Young can't help but be excited. The last time I ate hot pot, it seems to be two years ago. The days in the barracks are not easy, guarding the border for two years, not to mention hot pot, even hot rice, and I haven't eaten it a few times.
The only regret is that this season is not winter.
After Rong Bai showed off the hot pot, he went out again. Eat hot pot at night, all kinds of ingredients have to be prepared. Even in the last days, the number of times Rong Bai eats hot pot can be counted with one hand.
Hot pot is a high-end food, Rong Bai didn't learn to cook before he was twelve years old, and he ate a big pot of rice in the canteen. How can there be hot pot in the cafeteria.
When he was older and earned a little money on the battlefield, Rong Bai had the opportunity to take Xiao Heng to eat hot pot a few times. I will never forget that taste.
When it was evening, Rong Bai had everything ready. When Ernst & Young saw Rong Bai's stove, he suddenly found that other people's stoves were completely different from those he had eaten.
In order to satisfy himself, Rong Bai worked hard. The ingredients of this hot pot, as well as all kinds of things are prepared the best. Now the house is not like before, there are not even many pots and pans.
Rong Bai prepared more than a dozen plates and put various ingredients on them.
For the first time, Ernst & Young saw the white knife work, tremblingly picked up the slices of meat that seemed to be about to break at any time, and shook them in the tumbling white soup.
The red flesh curled up and turned pale. In your mouth, it's delicious.
Hengqing had never eaten hot pot, so he didn't know that the thin slices of meat could be eaten by soaking them in boiling water, and he didn't know where to start with chopsticks, and in the end, he could only clip a vegetable leaf.
The way to eat raw vegetable leaves is a study of Rong Bai and Wen Wan. Although I am not very accustomed to it, I have to admit that the vegetable leaves they make are delicious.
Seeing Hengqing's embarrassment, Rong Bai threw a few slices of meat that he had scalded onto Hengqing's plate: "You just eat white soup, red soup is not conducive to physical recovery." ”
"Xiaobai, don't forget, it's been a year since my husband's injury." Heng Qing replied.
In a year's time, not to mention the flesh and skin injuries, even the bone injuries have grown almost the same. Although he lost sensation in his legs, for a year, Hengqing didn't have to avoid eating in the morning.
"Xiaobai likes to eat spicy food on weekdays." Hengqing put the white meat in front of him and soaked it in the red soup. Then throw it in your mouth.
Instantly red-faced and red-eared. Is this kind of food really edible for humans?
"Drink some water, drink some water, it's better to eat less if you're not used to it." Rong Bai poured a glass of water from the bamboo tube and handed it to Hengqing.
Hengqing did not doubt that he had him, and poured it down in one gulp, cool to the end.
Taking a breath of cold air, Hengqing sighed sincerely: "This red soup is too spicy, Xiaobai is really appetizing." ”
Rong Bai originally looked at Hengqing with a smile, but when he spoke, Rong Bai's eyes fell on Hengqing's lips, a little stunned.
Hengqing has not been in good health, and his lip color is always light. Today, after the baptism of chili peppers in this red soup, it instantly turned red. Yin Hong's lips opened and closed, and Rong Bai couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
What's wrong with you?
It's just autumn, and the weather hasn't cooled yet. Eating hot pot on a hot day, although it is full, it is not hot. Ernst & Young has been lowering his sense of existence, eating hot pot, and sweating profusely for a while.
"Can you give me a glass of water?" Wiping the sweat on his head, a certain prince has completely let go of his identity baggage.
Rong Bai also poured a glass of water and handed it to him.
As soon as the water enters its mouth, Ernst & Young feels wrong. There's definitely something wrong with that.
Ernst & Young's first thought was to add ice to the water. After thinking about it, even if it is the palace, there is a standard for the ice used by each prince in summer. Even the palace can't have something at all times, how can this family have it.
What's more, that bamboo tube, the woman has taken it out for a long time, how can I ensure that the water in it is still cold for such a long time.
However, Ernst & Young will not ask this kind of question.
There are too many things in this world that others don't keep secret, because of the life-saving money, this woman named Rong Bai has an extremely bad impression of him, and it is estimated that she will not say anything else.
Hengqing didn't think about it so much, although the Li family has a big business, it has not yet reached the level of using ice in summer. Therefore, the soil bun Hengqing didn't think of the origin of the water at all, thinking that Rong Bai had just come up from the well.
Recently, Rong Bai has done everything that needs to be done, and when he waits for someone, there is no pressure at all. So, toss out something to enjoy.
For example, the sandwich in this double-layer insulation cylinder.
The white interlayer is usually empty, and when you want to chill something, you put some water and add some saltpeter into it. The contents of the outer mezzanine are not drinkable, however, the water inside will cool down.
You can't freeze it, but you can freeze it.
Rong Bai made a sour plum soup in a thermos cone, just to relieve the spicy when eating hot pot.
As for how saltpeter came from, I have to say that a certain kid with super hands-on ability came up with this thing when he was researching explosives.
This meal, Rong Bai ate very refreshingly. The red soup is spicy enough, and the sour plum soup is also cold and cold.
"Xiaobai has ever thought about promoting this way of eating?" When the cups and plates were messy, Hengqing's lips were still red.
"Promotion? It doesn't matter, it's a gentle thing. Rong Bai is not very interested in promoting this way of eating. Wen Wan also said that only people in places with heavy humidity or low temperatures like to eat chili peppers.
Look at the boundary of Tongzhou, where people like to eat spicy food. Besides, Rong Bai himself is just Tutu fresh, if he eats it every day, Rong Bai can't stand it.
The most important thing is, in summer, where can I find chilled sour plum soup? Saltpeter, also known as potassium nitrate, is a by-product of Liu Zihan and Rong Bai when they were studying gunpowder.
It's not much, Rong Bai took out the iced sour plum soup, it is already a luxury in luxury, if the hot pot is promoted on a large scale, it means that the sour plum soup is promoted on a large scale, who has the capital?
"Stoves are already a relatively common thing in the north, but I have never seen this sour and cold water." Ernst & Young spoke.
The climate in the north is much cooler than in the south, and it is not too much to eat hot pot in summer. As for winter, everyone can't wait to hide at home and shiver, let alone drink ice water.
Rong Bai rolled his eyes, this person is really, isn't it hot pot. Why can't the South be promoted? The winter in the south is also so cold that people shiver!
Rong Bai Shunjiang remembered the scene of a group of men shivering on the mountain last winter. At that time, there was going to be a hot pot, and those men must have surrounded the hot pot every day.
Drinking the last sip of red soup, Rong Bai's lips also glowed with a faint red light.
"We'll have to pack up our things, and when Wen Wan and them come, we can go." Rong Bai wiped his mouth and sighed sincerely. It's been more than a year, and I can finally go to my brother.
