Grunt, grunt, grunt......

The sound of the soup boiling was muffled, and the big bubbles kept coming out, rolling the seasoning at the bottom of the pot, looking like a sulfur hot spring, and the pungent spicy taste made people retreat, but the fragrance in the air made people can't help but become more and more curious, especially the red and spicy pot, which gathered all the focus-

Unlike the last time when the live fish was boiled, the soup in the whole pot was reddish-brown, and it continued to tumble and boil, making people inexplicably feel that the temperature was so high, like sulfuric acid with explosive lethality, and they couldn't help but stay away, and it was hard to imagine how to eat such a pot of soup.

Ronald leaned over to take a look, first at the red pot on one side, and then at the white pot on the other, he didn't understand a little - the clear soup pot was also completely different from the impression, the almost milky white soup looked like milk, but they all knew that it was not milk, but beef bone broth that had been boiled for hours, and then put in a large bag of hot pot seasoning, and the color became so attractive.

Because the spicy pot is really too domineering, the air is full of pungent smell, so the clear soup pot doesn't seem to have any weight at all. But if you sniff carefully, you can feel the faint sweetness, rich and refreshing, and before his consciousness reacts, Ronald can't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Is this a hot pot?" Ronald questioned, the hot pot he had eaten before, which looked the same, but was actually completely different. To be precise, this is nothing like the hot pot in his memory, "The hot pot we ate last time, the whole pot looks clear, and the taste of MSG is very strong, it doesn't look like what is in front of you, what the hell is this? Fourteen, this is not a hot pot, right? You say, this is not a hot pot, right?"

Ronald still had some disgust in his expression, but the curiosity between his eyebrows could not be hidden.

Lu Li ignored Ronald for the first time - old kid, old kid, the older he gets, the more he looks like a child. If you ignore it now, it will be a failure, and you will continue to hang Ronald's curiosity.

Lu Li looked at the others with a smile, "How is it, are you ready?"

"Fourteen, how the hell is this going to be eaten?" Randy couldn't hold back anymore and asked the question loudly.

"This is a red pot, as the name suggests, the taste is spicy, more mellow, and more strong. In our hometown, everyone says that the spicy pot is the essence of hot pot. However, the spicy pot is not something that anyone can afford, so don't try it lightly. Lu Li has long been familiar with this set of procedures, and he clearly introduced it to everyone present, "Then, this is a white pot, mainly to ensure the original flavor of the materials, and at the same time with the unique flavor of the hot pot, the beef bone soup we boiled has a freshness effect on vegetables, it is recommended to try." However, it is mainly up to you to choose the flavor that suits you. ”

Lu Li picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and gestured to everyone, "The charm of hot pot is that whether it is meat or vegetarian, it can bring a special flavor and present a variety of flavors. All you need to do is simply put the ingredients in the pot, soak them, wait for them to cook, then pick them up and dip them in the sauce......"

Lu Li put the beef into the red pot, everyone's eyes were projected, focusing on the piece of beef in the pot, and then he witnessed the color of the beef becoming lighter little by little, the tender and translucent meat color faded little by little, fluttering lightly, the tumbling red pot has a unique beauty, in just a dozen seconds, twenty seconds, the whole piece of meat has been cooked for most of the time, Lu Li neatly turned over with chopsticks, and after making sure that the whole piece of meat was cooked, he clamped it up.

"Different ingredients, different cooking times. So, don't throw it all away, you must remember what you lost and what you want to eat, otherwise it will be overcooked and it will not taste good. Lu Li picked up the meat slices, then put them in the bowl, and then picked up another small bowl, "You see, there are all seasonings here, different combinations, you can taste it a little first, and then determine which one you like the most, and mix it up." ”

Everyone stretched their necks and watched Lu Li's movements intently, "Fourteen, fourteen, what did you add?"

"I would add some chili paste, then chili flakes, a little bit of garlic, a little chopped green onions, then sesame oil, and my personal preference, some soy sauce. Lu Li's taste is more unique, and he has blended his favorite style, "However, you don't need to learn, as I said, you can taste the sauce and mix it according to your taste." ”

In fact, these are ordinary sauces, all of which are bought from Chinese/Chinese supermarkets, and the number of types and the taste of sauces cannot be compared with those in China, but in a foreign country, there is no need to be so particular. To be able to eat the authentic taste of hot pot is enough.

"After mixing the sauce, dip the ingredients that have just been scalded in the sauce, and da!" Lu Li put the beef into the sauce and stirred it carefully, stuffed it into his mouth, the rich spicy aroma mixed with the sweetness and strength of the beef itself, dancing on the tip of the tongue, people couldn't help but start chewing, and the wonderful taste made Lu Li close his eyes.

It's really been a long time.

What's more, this beef is from the ranch-born Angus cow, tender but chewy, the light sweetness is not covered by the spicy taste, after swallowing, there is a faint sweetness on the tip of the tongue, almost making people swallow their tongues.

After Lu Li opened his eyes again, he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, including Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, as well as Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan.

Lu Li smiled at them and nodded, "It's indeed the taste of hometown." This made all four of them smile, especially Song Lingyi, it was not in vain that they went all the way to carry these hot pot ingredients, and seeing the happiness on Lu Li's face at this moment, this is the most important thing.

"Are all the ingredients the same?" Randy asked again.

"Yes, it's simple and brutal, and it's straightforward. Lu Li nodded and gave affirmation.

"But this red pot looks terrible! How can you eat it?" Ronald was the one who spoke, and he couldn't wait to start questioning, "And this white pot, isn't this the same as boiling slices of meat in water? The taste must be terrible, I have tasted it once, and I will never want to taste it a second time." ”

Lu Li shrugged at Ronald, looking unconcerned, "Do you need me to make some dumplings for you?" That ridiculous appearance made Ronald angry, Lily stood next to him and couldn't help laughing, and then directly interrupted Ronald's words before he could speak, "Fourteen, can we start eating?"

"Of course, of course. Lu Li nodded again and again, "Hot pot is so simple, there is no too advanced technical content." Of course, this is just a simple hot pot for families, and the mysteries of those professional hot pots are not something that laymen can understand, "You go and choose the sauce first, and then come over to shabu shabu, and you can eat it." ”

Everyone immediately rushed towards the sauce table next to it, "Wow! That's too much, isn't it?" "How many are there......?" Nine, ten...... Oh my God, it's not over yet!" "With so many options, how do we know how to match them?"

Tony looked left and right, but found that he didn't know where to start, there were too many choices of dipping sauces, and he was dizzying, and then he ran to Song Lingyi's side, "Ms. L, do you have any recommendations? I can eat a little spicy, but I'm not very good, I'm willing to try all kinds of dishes, can you help me mix them? Also, my taste may be a little salty." ”

Tony had a flattering smile on his face, and his wheat-colored skin carried the heroism and freshness of a sunny boy, Song Lingyi couldn't help laughing, "No problem, I'll make you a few basic ones, and then add a little sesame oil." You try the white pot first, and then eat the red pot, you will probably know whether the taste is light or heavy, and then you can add seasonings. ”

"Ms. L! Ms. L! And me!" Randy raised his right hand high, lest he be ignored, and couldn't wait to say, but this time he was not alone, Jessica, Cole, Sean and others all raised their hands, and Brandon was even smarter, and ran directly to Liu Xiaoyan's side, "Can you help?"

At this time, Liu Xiaoyan has also become hot, and even Li Huainan and Lu Huaijin were entangled by Jessica, Chloe, and Lily, and the scene was not lively.

Lu Li left the table, went to the refrigerator and took out a cold Coke, and then took out a large bucket of ice. He knew that the red pot of the hot pot tasted fine just now, but soon, they would be so spicy that their lips would swell, so they had to prepare in advance.

"Woo", Teddy followed Lu Li's feet, rubbed, curiously looking at the excitement in the kitchen, Lu Li smiled dumbly, and touched Teddy's head, "You can't eat." This is something you should never eat. Teddy understood, and sat down disappointed, his eyes full of loneliness.

However, before Lu Li could comfort Teddy, he shouted, "Bucky!" The little guy was scurrying under the corner of the kitchen table, his light steps were curiously looking at everyone around him, and he even wanted to jump on the table, not to mention how Bucky made trouble, but this hot pot, Bucky must not try, if he is not careful, he will get sick.

Chloe walked over, hugged Bucky, and touched the little one's head, "Man, this isn't something you can participate in. Chloe turned around and let Bucky land again, Bucky took a brisk step in the direction of Lu Li, his footsteps paused in front of Lu Li, and then walked straight by.

Lu Li looked at Bucky's arrogant back and smiled dumbly: He came back from New York to see Bucky, and now is the first time he has seen Bucky, is this little guy having a temper?

After seeing Bucky leave, looking back again, Lu Li saw everyone standing around the table, extremely lively, it was like Chinese New Year's Eve.
