Chapter 172 Hot Pot

Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, is named after the "coo" sound made when food is put into boiling water, it is a unique Chinese delicacy with a long history, and is a kind of food for all ages.

Generally speaking, hot pot is a cooking method that uses a pot as an apparatus, uses a heat source to boil the pot, and boils water or soup to boil food, and can also refer to the pot used in this cooking method. It is characterized by eating while cooking, or the pot itself has a thermal insulation effect, and the food is still steaming when eating, and the soup is one.

Hot pot is hot to eat, spicy and salty, oily but not greasy, sweaty, hearty, depressive and dehumidifying, suitable for the climate of mountains and rivers, now developed into a mandarin duck pot, spicy and light respectively, each takes what it needs, suitable for all ages, the best product of winter.

Typical hot pot ingredients include various meats, seafood, vegetables, soy products, mushrooms, egg products, etc., which are blanched in boiling water or a special soup pot before eating, and some are eaten with seasonings.

Qin Xiu recalled in his mind the introduction of hot pot, hot pot was a very famous delicacy in his original world, yes, in his original world, there were similar dishes all over the world, which showed how popular it was.

And in this competition, he plans to use these ingredients to make a hot pot!

The reason why I chose to make hot pot is not only because hot pot can contain all these ingredients, but also because no one in this world knows "hot pot"!

Such a delicious dish, there is no such thing in this world! This is simply unbearable!

It's not just hot pot, there are a lot of delicacies in his original world, this world doesn't have them! But, in the same way, this world also has a lot of delicacies that he didn't have in his original world!

Qin Xiu had already made up his mind to eat all the delicacies of this world!

Now that the time and place are favorable, he immediately decided to make hot pot!

Qin Xiu picked up the pot on the stove that was ready to be used to make soup, looked at it, and was a little disgusted, but he didn't complain about anything, but put down the pot, picked up the spatula on the side, and directly dissolved the iron spatula with Yuan Li.

Then, under the surprised and surprised eyes of everyone, the dissolved liquid was pulled up into a thin piece of iron sheet, which was embedded in the middle of the soup pot, separating the pot in half.

"Boss Qin, what are you going to do?" Xiao Liuxiao put away his chin that was about to drop on the ground in surprise.

"I don't understand, these ingredients include fish, meat, and vegetables, Boss Qin can use these ingredients to make the dishes in the store, and with those delicious ingredients, I don't believe that I can't win the game 1" Xiao Shiyi Xiao Xing said.

"But you forgot one thing, these ingredients are all ordinary ingredients, although Boss Qin's craftsmanship is very good, and the dishes he makes must be delicious, but they are definitely not as delicious as those delicacies in the store!" Xiao Ba Xiao Zhuang shook his head and said, the most important ingredients of those delicacies in the store are written on the broadcast, how can they not know when they go to eat.

"Even if the ingredients are not good, I believe that Boss Qin will be able to cook delicious food!" Xiao Shiyi Xiao Xing said firmly, he has reached a blind trust in Qin Xiu's cooking skills!

"I don't believe in Boss Qin's cooking skills, I obviously can't use these ingredients, and I will be impressed by the taste!" Xiao Ba Xiao Zhuang said with a black line.

"That's ...... too"

"I, what do you have to fight about?Isn't it better for Boss Qin to make new dishes?" Xiao Jiu Xiao Xuan said, "I still wish that Boss Qin would cook more new dishes, so that we can eat more beautiful ...... What kind of eyes are you looking at!, why do you look at me like that?!"

Xiao San and Xiao Silkworm took the lead in retracting his eyes, and sighed: "I just didn't expect you to be able to say such a reasonable thing!

"It's a little unbelievable that these words actually came out of your mouth!" Xiao Wu and Xiao Gao also sighed.

"It's rare for you to have a sentence that I heard. Xiao Shiyi Xiao Xing said.

"......" Xiao Jiu Xiao Xuan.

On the stage, after Qin Xiu started to do it, Qian Sen also thought about what the food he wanted to make, and the second one started to do it, although he was also surprised by Qin Xiu's actions, but he forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and began to make his own food with all his heart.

The others also started to do it one after another.

Qin Xiu completely ignored the simple version of the mandarin duck pot, he brushed the pot with water, added water, lit the fire and started to burn!

After finishing these, Qin Xiu turned sideways and began to process the ingredients, he first plucked the whole chicken to remove the internal organs and washed it, and after the whole chicken was processed smoothly, he washed the wok, added water, put the whole processed chicken in it, covered the pot and began to boil.

He went on to say that the other vegetables and meats were all washed and put on the plate

Then he picked up the catch on the side, habitually played a knife flower, picked up the mutton on the plate with the other hand, and cut the mutton into thin slices very neatly, each slice was very thin, and then rolled these mutton slices into a circle and put them back on the plate

Then he cut the beef into slices, rolled it into a circle and put it on the plate, and after the meat was processed, he took the shiitake mushrooms on the plate, cut a cross knife on the top of the shiitake mushrooms, and slice the other vegetables, cut them into pieces, and only the green vegetables were not pulled because they were green vegetables

After processing these ingredients, Qin Xiu began to process the two fish, scraping the scales and removing the internal organs, which was obviously a bloody picture made by him, but with a hint of strange blessing

The two fish are sliced into thin fillets, and the almost transparent fillets shimmer in the sunlight.

Then he picked up the flour, poured it into a basin, added water and a small amount of oil and began to knead it quickly.

He kneaded the flour quickly, and after a series of afterimages, the flour in the basin had turned into a ball of flour.

He put the kneaded powder pattern aside, picked up the catch again, picked up a few beef rolls, chopped these beef rolls into meat foam, and cut the meat rolls of the mutton rolls into meat powder one after another, and arranged them in a row.

Picked up the dough and began to wrap the meatballs, his hands were very skillful, and the balls were smooth and round, and they were very pleasing to look at.

"What is this going to do?" At this time, the doubts in everyone's hearts were very unclear about what they were going to do.

"Is he going to make a meal out of all these ingredients?" someone boldly guessed.

This caused a lot of exclaims, "Well, how to do this? How to make beef, mutton, fish and vegetables into a dish?"

"Am I looking at the wrong person? Seventy-Seven doesn't know how to make it at all? I've never heard of these ingredients making delicious dishes together!"

"You can't, you can't bring a watch, Boss Qin can't! I believe that Boss Qin will definitely be able to make delicious food!" Ai Ziyu retorted when he heard a few conversations behind him.

"I'm not a master chef, but I've been cooking for so many years, and I never knew what would make a good dish when they all came together. A middle-aged man shook his head.

"Wait and see!" Ai Ziyu snorted, turning her head to look at the arena.

Everyone on the referee's seat was also very curious, whether it was the emperor, Prime Minister Ning Wang and others. Even Zhao Fei was very interested.

"Why don't I know if these dishes can be cooked together?" Zhao Fei muttered, his eyes followed Qin Xiu's movements motionlessly, and he memorized his steps meticulously

Qin Xiu continued to do his own movements, and after making the balls, he processed all the ingredients, and also cut those ingredients into the whole Qin yard on Pan Zheng

At this time, whether it was the water in the soup pot or the water in the wok, it was already boiling, Qin Xiu turned off the fire in the wok, opened the lid, and a white steam gushed up, in the steam, the meat on the whole chicken began to turn white, he took out the chicken in it, cut it in half, and put it into both sides of the soup pot, Qin Xiu then covered the lid of the soup pot with satisfaction.

This is to make broth, making hot pot is not complicated, and it is just a little troublesome to deal with ingredients in this world now, after all, it is not like modern times to have ready-made ingredients, as long as you put it in the pot and brush it when you eat it, you can eat it.

If you want the hot pot to be delicious, it is also very important as the soup base of the hot pot, although it can also be used with water, but it is obviously not as delicious as the soup stock, which is why Qin Xiu would rather spend more time boiling the broth.

In order to cook a delicious hot pot soup base, Qin Xiu spent almost all of the time of the competition on boiling the broth, and by the time this soup was made, there was not much time left for the competition.

The pale yellow soup in the soup pot gurgled and bubbled out, and bursts of fragrance wafted around along the hot air in the air, and several contestants around the hook were hungry.

The pale yellow soup is very clear, the whole chicken is preserved very completely, without the slightest cracking, the chicken skin is wrapped in delicious chicken, it looks very tender, there are a few shiitake mushrooms floating in the soup, sprinkled with some celery and green onions and other ingredients, it looks simple but very exquisite, exuding bursts of tempting fragrance.

Yes, he could have taken the food he made for the soup stock directly into the competition.

Zhuo Wen, who was not far away, smelled this fragrance, glanced at the source of the fragrance in the soup pot in front of Qin Xiu, his face turned black for a while, the color and fragrance were complete, and it made people full of appetite at a glance, and the chicken was boiled very well.

Could it be that I made a mistake? Zhuo Wen couldn't help but suspect that Qin Xiu didn't know how to cook food, but just blackheartedly set the price higher?

But in the next second, he overturned this speculation that had just risen, because Qin Xiu was very brain-dead and destroyed this delicacy!!

Just fished out all the things in the soup pot directly, whether it was the main ingredients or the ingredients, they didn't let go, and just threw them into the wok on the side at will! The chicken was thrown into the pot and cracked instantly, and the cracked chicken was very tender, drunk and not rotten, which shows that the chicken stew is very good!

But now it's so ruined! Not only was he stunned, but everyone who saw it was stunned, what was the situation?

Even Qian Sen, who has always been facing the enemy, was stunned for a moment.

Qin Xiu didn't care about the crowd, when there was only the soup base left in the soup pot, he put chili powder in half of the soup pot, and put a few red chili peppers, the soup instantly turned red, and a spicy smell began to permeate.

Then put the pinched meatballs into the soup pot, and after waiting for a while, put all kinds of meat rolls, fish fillets, eggs, etc. into it, and put all kinds of vegetarian dishes after the meat is finished, and put all the prepared ingredients into the soup pot Zheng

Because it was a mandarin duck hot pot to be cooked, Qin Xiu divided all the ingredients in half into two parts, put them into the red soup and the pale yellow soup respectively, and then covered the soup pot and boiled it on high heat.

Such a self-styled and neat action made the hearts of those who saw his actions ache! What kind of trouble is it to ruin the food and make a hodgepodge!!

Many people even beat their chests and feet, feeling extremely pity! Even Zhao Fei twitched his face, his lips trembled twice and he couldn't speak.

Even those diners who had tasted Qin Xiu's craftsmanship were heartbroken, not because Qin Xiu had ruined the food, but because of the heartache why the food they didn't need was not eaten by them!

"Knock knock-" At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of drumming sounded.

"It's over!" the host announced.

As soon as the host's words fell, all the contestants stopped what they were doing, and Qin Xiu also put the well-prepared sauce on the table, and easily replaced the hot pot fire with a fire.

The twenty contestants all had their own entries in front of them, except for Qin Xiu, who only had a bowl of sauce in front of them.

In fact, Qin Xiu was also ready, but his work was still in the pot at this time, but everyone didn't know, they only knew that there was no food on the table in front of him, and the soup pot that was still boiling was covered with a lid at this time, and everyone couldn't see what kind of scene it was, but thinking of Qin Xiu's action of pouring all the ingredients into it just now, they had no appetite in their hearts, it was a hodgepodge, and they couldn't imagine what delicious food could be cooked in this way.

"How do I think this game, contestant number seventy-seven is going to lose?" someone said uncertainly.

"It's a pity, the chicken and mushroom stew he made before was pretty good! it was ruined!" someone sighed, his tone full of pity.

"Although the chicken stew is simple, it makes people feel delicious when they look at it, even if I look at the picture, I want to eat it!"

"I really don't understand what he's thinking, ruining the real food, messing up some mess, really ruining the ingredients. ”

"I'm betting on him to win, and now I'm not going to lose ......"
