Just when Tang was thinking about how to explain, sure enough, Dou Yunxiao also looked at Tang Xin suspiciously: "Sixth Miss, what is this hot pot?" ”

Tang Xin sighed in his heart, but smiled quietly: "This hot pot is actually just a name, and this kind of food originates from a nation, but I have never heard my aunt mention it in which nationality." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But about the practice of hot pot, the heart knows a little bit about it. ”

"This is from your aunt?" Tang Hanfeng couldn't see a look on his face.

Tang Xin was a little weak-hearted, but he still nodded and said: "I heard my aunt say that my grandfather seemed to have had the honor to eat this hot pot once, and because his memory was still fresh, he specially asked the other party how to make hot pot, but later the family suffered so no one mentioned this matter again." This was only overheard from her aunt when Xin'er was chatting with her aunt later, so Xin'er can also be said to have been yearning for this hot pot for a long time. When I was in the Tang Mansion, I couldn't try it for various reasons, but now that I came to this Xinjiang, I couldn't help but think of it when I was in a happy mood. ”

Zhuo Ziao's biggest hobby has always been food, and now when he hears that there are delicious things or things he has never eaten, he can't help but be a little excited: "Miss Six, is this hot pot easy to make?" What do you need? The subordinates sent people to prepare. ”

Tang Xin smiled awkwardly and said, "Hot pot is actually quite simple to make, just simple ingredients and some fresh vegetables." It's just that at the moment it is a little difficult that the pot used in the hot pot is required. Because it needs to be boiled all the time, let the soup in the pot always boil, and then put all the vegetables or meat slices in it, and when it is cooked, it will be plucked out and then dipped in some seasoning and eaten. But there is no way to replace that pot with an ordinary pot, although Xin'er knows what to do, but it is a little too late to make a pot at present. ”

Mo Lingfeng, who had been silent, suddenly interjected at this moment: "Sixth Miss, what does that pot look like?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, Tang Xin pretended to be uncertain and hesitated: "It seems to be a tall pot, with a vertical and long prop in the middle, and the surrounding circle is empty, and the vegetables and meat are all boiled there." There is an empty place below where you can put things, and after adding charcoal fire to the hollow place, the pot is heated, which is called hot pot. ”

"How can there be such a strange pot?" Huang Ling was puzzled.

After listening to Tang Xin's description, Mo Lingfeng said goodbye and left, and just when everyone was curious about what he was going to do, Mo Lingfeng appeared in front of several people with a strange thing.

"Miss Six, is this the pot you are talking about?"

Tang Xin's eyes widened the moment Mo Lingfeng appeared, and now when he heard him ask, he couldn't help but be a little stunned: "How can you have such a pot?" Where did this come from? ”

Could it be that she is mistaken? This hot pot has actually been popular since the beginning of the morning?

Mo Lingfeng's expression was a little strange: "This thing was found by the people below when they were cleaning up in this house, and because they didn't know what it was, they once showed it to their subordinates." At that time, the subordinates didn't understand what it was after researching it, but then they happened to see a fish in the pond and thought it was for fish farming, so they put the fish in it and raised it. ”

The corners of Tang Xin's mouth twitched slightly.

Fish farming? Well, this thing does look a lot like a fish farming thing.

Just, how could there be such a thing here?

"Is this pot the owner's house?" Tang Xin asked.

Mo Lingfeng nodded: "This thing is indeed the person who lived here before, but the other party doesn't seem to know what this thing is, so he put it together with some miscellaneous items." If it weren't for the strange way it looked, it might have been thrown away by the people below when it was cleaned up. ”

Huang Ling was immediately happy when he saw this pot: "Don't care where it came from, Xin'er, is it possible for us to eat hot pot tonight with this pot?" ”

Tang Xin smiled, and there was a hint of eagerness on his face: "That's right, with this pot, there will be no problem." I'll be in the kitchen myself in a moment to make the ingredients for everyone, so I'm sure you'll all be satisfied. ”

Because the pot of the hot pot was given to fish by Mo Lingfeng, for the sake of cleanliness, Tang Xin still asked the people in the kitchen to carefully wash the pot several times. Then he instructed them to pick a lot of fresh vegetables, tear them into small pieces and put them on the plate, because there were many people in the kitchen, so all the vegetables were placed in a few minutes. The city of Xudu is close to the Huns, so mutton and beef can be said to be necessary for every household, unlike in the capital, except for the emperor and officials, there are basically few people who can eat this beef and mutton.

Mutton is fine, as long as you have money, you can buy it. But beef is different, this cattle is the most important livestock for the people when they plough the land, so the price is unusually high. The cattle purchased at such a high price, every household is basically about to supply it, how can they be willing to slaughter it for meat. So even in the previous life, Tang Xin was only the only time he had eaten beef shabu-shabu hot pot. As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, so Tang Xin can be said to be unforgettable after eating the taste of beef that time.

Of course, although this ox is expensive, the money is not worth mentioning to the rich, especially those officials. Therefore, in the current food, there will definitely be many people who are willing to spend this money to buy beef to eat. But the capital is different from here, you can slaughter and eat at will, but the capital is different. Because most of the cattle were used to cultivate the land and create food for the imperial court, the law strictly stipulated that the slaughter of live cattle was to be crowned with criminal law, and the punishment was also particularly severe, which was directly the death penalty. Of course, if the cow dies of natural causes, the imperial court will no longer control it, and it will be okay to eat it or use it for any other purpose.

Food is important, but it's not worth it to lose your life for a bite to eat. Therefore, after the constraints of the law, basically few people in the capital have the idea of making beef anymore.

And the only beef she ate heard that the cow fell down the mountain during the landslide and fell to her death, Yuan Ke knew that she had always liked to eat hot pot, so she spent a high price to buy the cow back to the house, she can be said to be a complete feast.

But sometimes you haven't eaten this thing, but once you know the taste of the marrow, it's really painful.

To be honest, despite the law pressing there at that time, Tang Xin couldn't help but want to secretly eat beef again. However, in the end, after a fierce battle of ideas, Tang Xin decided to abandon her favorite food for her life. (To be continued.) )
