After reaching an agreement, Nangong Keqing and Chongyang came to the blacksmith shop, sure enough, the ancient blacksmith still has the ability, after reading the drawings and explaining it a few times, he can make a hot pot close to the modern one, amazing!

Nangong Keqing was very happy, and muttered to the blacksmith: "You are making sixty pots for me, this is fifty taels of deposit, I will come to get it in a month and a half, and it will be exactly the same." ”

"Girl, are you serious?" The blacksmith looked confused, this is too big, just a deposit of fifty taels, this pot is so valuable? This can't be cooked! This girl's head is fine! Spending so much effort just to make sixty mouthfuls?

"Really, really, you just do it! Don't you want to give silver? Nangong Keqing said with a sound.

"Good, good...... The girl is a good talker, and she will definitely make it for you in a month. "He doesn't have to take orders from others for more than a month, it's enough.

"Let's go, go home, my sister will make you something to eat." Nangong Keqing was overjoyed.

Chongyang's face was incredulous, "You can also cook?" ”

"What's your young lady wouldn't?" Nangong Keqing looked proud.

Chongyang thought to himself, yes, here it is again......

"Hmmm! Omnipotent, invincible......" Chongyang kept nodding his head and echoed jokingly.

Nangong Keqing smiled mischievously: "Xiao Yangyang has gone bad......"

"The one who is close to the ink is black." Chongyang said with a dark face.

Nangong Keqing snorted angrily: "It's close to Zhu Zhechi."

Back in the courtyard, she drove the two girls and Chongyang out of the kitchen, and the chef Zhao Cheng looked at her pitifully and begged: "County lord, the little ones don't have to go out!" The small one is your chef, you have to cook, and the small one is not good to go out! ”

She thinks about it! There's got to be someone who said, "Okay, you stay." ”

Turned around and went into the kitchen, leaving the three of them messy in the wind.

I saw her going in and out for a while, and then making a tinkling sound, and a few people watched their young lady busy going in and out, the corners of her mouth twitched, is this still their young lady?

They seriously doubted that she could cook, and the young lady's hands were good at healing, so how could she cook?

Although she has made delicious breakfasts and snacks many times before, there is still a difference between it and the main meal, is she going to make a big meal on the table?

Yu Ling couldn't stand it anymore, and said distressedly: "Miss, let the slave come!" Beware of cutting your hands! ”

Nangong Keqing didn't look back, leaving her with a very serious back, "Don't worry!" Miss Ben is cooking you a big meal today. ”

A few people were so moved that they almost cried, whose master would cook for the slaves? In their bones, respect and humility are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and being able to let them follow such a master is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

They didn't dare to go in again, for fear that their young lady would be angry, and she was like that, and once she decided, it was difficult to change.

"Yuhe......" Nangong Keqing shouted in the kitchen.

Yuhe was so happy that she thought that Miss was asking her to help! ran over happily, but was kicked out by her.

Yu He stomped his feet angrily and flattened his mouth, "Miss." ”

"Good boy! Go and invite Xiaoyue and Sister Qing. Nangong Keqing commanded.

In the kitchen, Zhao Cheng snorted, his face full of shock.

"County Lord, did you invent this? It's really unprecedented, can you eat something cooked like this? ”

"County Lord, why is this pot so strange?"

"County Lord, can you cook these raw things together? Doesn't it smell good? ”

"County Lord ......" Zhao Cheng was surprised, and suddenly it became 100,000 why? For a while, I didn't realize that I had become so much at once.

Nangong Keqing didn't blame, after all, it was difficult for anyone to accept, "This is called hot pot, it was not invented by the county lord, its earliest origin was invented by Genghis Khan." ”

Genghis Khan has been commanding troops to fight in all directions for many years, and seeing that it is time-consuming for soldiers to eat traditional barbecue mutton, in order to make the troops not delay the warplane, he cut the mutton into small pieces and threw it into a boiling pot, and since then there has been a hot pot in this world.

From a certain point of view, it was the hot pot that enabled the Mongol cavalry to fill their stomachs, capture the Central Plains with high spirits, and fight westward to Central Asia.

Zhao Cheng was a little confused, and just wanted to ask a question, he was blocked back by Nangong Keqing, "Don't ask me who Genghis Khan is!" ”

You must not be serious with them, because if there is a problem, there will be a bunch of questions.

"You'll know when you're done, by the way, how are your knife skills?"

Zhao Cheng was full of confidence, "The county lord can test it casually." ”

Nangong Keqing handed him a few large pieces of frozen beef and mutton, "Here, cut these pieces of meat into thin slices of meat into the shape of a roll, you can do it!" ”

"It can be done." Chef Zhao said with great certainty.

After a while, a plate of meat slices curled up on the plate.

"It's worthy of being a chef, and sure enough, there are two hits, and the knife skills are good." Nangong Keqing did not hesitate to praise it, and then immersed himself in cutting the mushrooms in his hand and cut them into a cross shape.

A burst of aroma wafted into your face...... It is the taste of hanging soup.

The hanging soup is made with an old hen, an old duck, 15 catties of pork bones and 4 catties of crucian carp (crucian carp must be wrapped in gauze when boiling soup).

As the saying goes, "no chicken, no fresh, no duck, no fragrant, no bones." "When hanging white soup, you must be careful about the combination of ingredients to ensure that the soup tastes good.

Its characteristics are: milky white color, positive taste, and strong consistency.

Nangong Keqing prepared a bunch of hot pot bases, a total of six kinds, and what they ate today was spicy hot pot bases, of course, this spicy degree has been halved, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it.

"County lord, the soup is ready."

Everything is ready, sauces, side dishes are also ready, what lamb rolls, beef rolls, potato chips, mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, spinach, tofu, chrysanthemum, ham, hairy tripe, duck intestines, duck blood, winter melon, chicken wings, shrimp and so on.

"It's time to eat......"

At this time, Xiao Yue and Qin Qing had already arrived.

Countless chili peppers float on the spicy red soup, and the red soup boils, swirls, and tumbles to exude fragrance, spiciness, and umami is mixed together, giving people an olfactory stimulation.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to drop the chopsticks, and it was raw, can this be eaten?

Yu Wenyue was so surprised that she finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is this...... What is the pot? ”

"It's a hot pot! Come, everyone sit down, and I'll show you. ”

All the people, the masters and the servants, sat around.

As soon as Chef Zhao came, he was still hesitating whether to sit or not, but he was pulled over by Chongyang, he was uneasy, and his admiration for the county lord in his heart unconsciously increased a few points.

"First of all, each small bowl is filled with sauce, add a little bit of each one, and then first soak the meat dishes, stay in the hot pot for eight or nine seconds, and dip them in the sauce that has just been prepared...... You can eat whatever you like...... It is super delicious and is an indispensable delicacy in winter. ”

Smelling the fresh fragrance, watching the chili peppers loom like fish in the tumbling red soup.

Nangong Keqing picked up a piece of mutton, scalded it in the pot, cooked it, scooped it up, it was hot, dipped in seasonings, and the heat rose, smelling spicy and fragrant.

When you put it in your mouth, you immediately feel its spiciness, and your lips and teeth are fragrant.

"It's delicious, I'm sure you eat it once and think about it next."

"What is eight or nine seconds?" Qin Qing asked.

Nangong Keqing was immediately fine, with three black lines on his head......

"That's it...... Like what I just did, you can put it in for seven or eight rounds, and don't let it be soaked for too long, the meat will get old and affect the taste. Nangong Keqing explained.

The bright red soup in the pot was filled with dense peppercorns and chili peppers...... It's intimidating to look at......

Several people also followed her example and began to hesitate, looking at Nangong Keqing's happy and enjoyable appearance, they couldn't help but taste it after all......

An unfamiliar fragrance fills the palate, a slight spicy sensation beats between the lips and teeth, and the more you eat the second bite, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more you eat, the more energetic it becomes.

Tasting the sweetness, several people widened their eyes and started eating, although it was a little spicy, but it was all within the acceptable range, "Such a strange method can be made so delicious." Yu Wenyue opened her mouth in surprise.

"It's so spicy." Zhang Yuan was so spicy that he was sweating, but he couldn't stop.

Wang Jiang and Qin Qing didn't care about talking at all, and kept shabu-shabu......

The two maids were so hot that they stuck out their tongues...... "Miss, you have to give the method to the slave maid, and the slave maid will do it for you next time." ”

"County Lord, Xiaomin asked himself how to cook many kinds of dishes, but he has never eaten such delicious food." Chef said excitedly.

Nangong Keqing smiled and said unceremoniously: "I have accepted all your compliments, how is Miss Ben's cooking skills?" Qianyue's crooked eyes looked at Chongyang with a thick smile.

Chongyang received that provocative look, and before he could swallow a mouthful of food, it was so spicy that he coughed, and tears rushed out.

Nangong Keqing laughed out loud without figuring it, turned around and went back to the kitchen to bring out a big pot, and poured a cup for everyone, "Such a dark color...... What kind of tea is it? Yu Wenyue asked.

"Let's try it, it's sour plum juice, eaten with hot pot, sweet and sour to relieve greasy."

"Miss, drink well." Yuhe praised in surprise.

Nangong Keqing looked at everyone and said solemnly: "What do you think will be the response if this hot pot is on the market?" ”

"Sister, is this going to open a store?" Qin Qing asked in surprise. This sister is really getting more and more powerful, she just opened a cloth village, and she will open a restaurant again.

"I think so, who can refuse such a gourmet temptation? But you have to think about it. Yu Wenyue echoed.

The two girls kept nodding in agreement.

At this time, Chef Zhao couldn't hold back and asked anxiously: "County Lord, if you want to open a shop, what can Xiaomin help?" He didn't dare to ask, because he hadn't forgotten what King Rui had said.

Nangong Keqing looked at his worried look and said, "Don't worry, you must be missing, you are the chef of this county!" Placing it in a restaurant is the stage for you to play. ”
