Chapter 160: Hot Pot

Time flies in a joyful atmosphere, and it's noon in the blink of an eye.

"Little sister, you sit, let's go cook, brother and sister, go!" Unconsciously, everyone chatted all morning, and seeing that the time was not early, Sun stood up and said to the other two concubines.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be busy, today Hui'er said she wanted to show her hand!" Hu stopped him, and before he came, Li Hui said that he wanted the Hu family to eat a rare thing, and he had been preparing it at home for several days.

"Really? Sister, Hui'er is so powerful, look at my Xiaoxue, she doesn't know anything now, it's really incomparable! Hu Sen's daughter-in-law Zheng said that her daughter is one year younger than Li Hui, and no one is capable of doing it at all, so she feels very envious.

"It's just that I love to mess around, just listen to her!" Hu said modestly that it wasn't her bragging, her own daughters could stand up to other people's children.

"Okay, old man, let Hui'er do it! I haven't eaten my granddaughter's cooking yet! "Mrs. Hu is very interested now, the little granddaughter made it, it is not delicious and delicious, and her old face is as small as a chrysanthemum.

On the other side, Li Hui, who had been playing all morning, came over to rummage through the package she had brought.

"Cousin, what are you doing?" Hu Mingxue followed behind Li Hui and asked curiously, not knowing what Li Hui was looking for.

"I'm looking for spices, let you eat something good today, do you want to help?" Li Hui asked Hu Mingxue about you while looking for you, and she couldn't be busy by herself.

"But I don't know how to cook!" Hu Mingxue looked at Li Hui with an embarrassed face, entangled. Never cooked myself.

It's no wonder that the Hu family has a daughter, which is held in the palm of her hand. Even when life was bad, she was never wronged.

"It's okay, it's very simple, you go and call your brother and they come over to help!" In the winter, it's a pity not to eat hot pot, the most suitable season for eating hot pot, how could Li Hui miss it, what she is looking for is the seasoning of hot pot. It took a long time to make a soup, but it wasn't as delicious as it is today, but it was also a good dish in ancient times.

Snow days. Li Hui made it once at home, but unexpectedly, the Li family fell in love with this taste, and asked Li Hui to make it a few more times. The spicy and spicy taste makes you can't stop eating it. Li Hui loves spicy food, and she has to put a lot of chili peppers every time.

"Cousin, what are you going to do?" Hu Mingjun was called back by Hu Mingxue, and he didn't know what to do with them.

"Cousin, I'm going to ask you for help! Eat something delicious today! Hurry up, you guys go wash the dishes! "Li Hui commanded everyone, the hot vegetables and cabbage in the hot pot are the most delicious, and the Li family has to prepare more every time. So Li Hui asked them to help, and she hurriedly prepared things.

"Hui'er. Do you want to make hot pot? Li Yujin asked, the Li family has done it several times, and he also knows how to do it, looking at Li Hui's instructions, it is estimated that he has this plan.

"Yes, brother, let grandpa taste it too! Would you like to help? Li Hui looked at Li Yujin.

"Good!" Li Yujin and Li Yucheng didn't say a word, they rolled up their sleeves and came over to help, after the Li brothers went to school, they didn't have the idea of staying away from the kitchen, and every time they had time, they would help their family do what they could.

The Li family has done it a few times, and Li Yujin is also familiar with the road, there is no special pot in modern times, and there is no gas stove, so he can only use the primitive method to burn the fire, but this is inconvenient, Li Hui thought about it for a long time before solving the problem.

There are pots at home, and Li Hui didn't go to the town to customize a special pot, so she used what she had at home, but some people don't eat spicy ones, like Li Yuhua and Li Yurong, a few small ones, don't dare to eat spicy ones, and it's very inconvenient to not be able to divide the mandarin duck pot. So Li Hui struggled for a long time, and finally found the kind of clean wooden board, sharpened it, and put it in the pot, which could be separated just right, similar to the modern mandarin duck pot, of course, the workmanship is very rough, and occasionally some spicy taste will run to Brad's side, but this is within the tolerable range.

A large family gathered around the red hot pot, burning work underneath, warm and festive.

"Cousin, is there anything I can help with?" Hu Mingxuan, the second son of the household, saw that his brother had gone to wash the vegetables, and he had nothing to do, and seeing that everyone was busy, he couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.

"Huh? Go get a brazier and make a charcoal brazier! There should be more fire! Li Hui thought about it for a while, this is also slowly improving, just started to burn the fire below, and the big taboo was choked, the hot pot was hot, but the smoke kept rising.

Later, Li Hui thought of a good way, brought a charcoal basin, set up a shelf, first boiled the hot pot on the fire, and then it could be brought into the house, and a shelf was supported next to the charcoal basin, and the pot was placed just right, which could maintain the temperature, just right!

The little Hu Mingxue couldn't do anything, so she followed behind Li Hui and looked at her with adoring eyes.

"Help my brother with chopsticks, get me some oil, and bring me some water!" Under Li Hui's order, Hu Mingxue was responsible for doing these hands-on work, which was within his ability.

Li Hui thinks that the best thing to eat is the hot pot with big bone base, so today I also brought the bones that I had been optimistic about, put them in the pot and started to stew on high heat, and put the hot pot base material of her own configuration in it, with big ingredients and peppercorns. Seasonings like tangerine peel!

The big bones were bubbling in the pot, and after a while, the soup in the pot turned into a thick milky white, and a fragrance came out, but this was not enough, the bones had to squat for a while before they tasted good and delicious, so Li Hui was not in a hurry.

Tell Hu Lin's son Hu Minghao to come over and light the fire, she has to do the most important link, cutting meat, this job boy really can't do it, don't often do these housework, knife work is definitely not good, the meat of the hot pot is only delicious if you want the baby, put it in the pot and cook it as soon as it is hot, not only tender, but also flavorful, with the prepared sauce, it is very delicious, and it drools when you think about it.

Li Hui brought not only pork, but also mutton, beef is not wanted, ancient cattle are precious things, and they can't be slaughtered casually, so they can only think about it!

Winter meat is easy to preserve, even if there is no refrigerator, it will not spoil, so the Li family has prepared a lot! Li Hui and the others only received some of them this time, and they didn't go to the town to buy them, and now the road conditions are not convenient.

The most important thing is that there are more delicious things inside, or Situ Rui and Xiao Zhuozi, the Li family lived for a period of time, hunted a lot of prey, the Li family couldn't finish eating, and there were many more after giving them away, so the Hu family dealt with them, and then touched the salt and put them under the eaves to let them dry naturally.

From time to time, I took some and put it in the dish, it was very strong, delicious, the favorite of the Li family, no, I also left some for several in-laws. (To be continued.) )
