Liu Nianru propped her head and let out a sly smile.

"Don't you think that when it's cold, the food is easy to get cold?" Liu Nianru said and pointed to the half-cold food on the table.

"Doesn't this kind of meal make people get colder and colder the more they eat? It stands to reason that eating should be a family reunion and a warm thing. ”

Wei Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded: "Sister Liu is right, but it is cold in winter, and this dish is not served together, and it is inevitable that it will become cold!" ”

In his cognitive concept, the dishes are all cooked in the kitchen and served to the guests, and it is okay in summer, but it is inevitable that the dishes will become cold after waiting for a long time in winter.

"Hey, hey!" Liu Nianru grinned, "There is a delicacy called hot pot in my hometown, which is the most loved by winter people, and eating it will make people feel warm, not to mention that it is also the most suitable for relatives and friends to eat together." ”

"Huh? What kind of food is this? Why haven't I heard of it before? Duan Bailan pricked up his ears and expressed his doubts, he had heard of eating at parties, but they all ate separately, and he had never heard of anything eaten together.

Wei Ming's eyes widened as well, expressing doubt.

Liu Nianru saw that the two of them didn't understand at all, and knew that there was really no such thing in this era, so a way to make a fortune brewed in her mind.

"Follow me!" Liu Nianru beckoned to the two of them, and led the group to the kitchen, she needed to find a thinner pot.

Duan Bailan and Wei Ming glanced at each other, and followed Liu Nianru to the back kitchen with a curious expression.

I saw that she first found a pot, then put it on the stove, and then poured in most of the oil in the pot, and immediately put in the onions, ginger and garlic and other accessories after the oil was spicy, and then put in bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise and other ingredients, after the flavor, take out the spices such as onions, ginger and garlic, and finally add a large number of peppers and peppercorns, and after the frying is completed, it is a simple version of the hot pot base.

The aroma of green onions, ginger and chili peppers burst out of the oil instantly filled the entire kitchen, and the fragrance attracted more and more people to watch.

"Is this a hot pot?" Duan Bailan sniffed, feeling that her entire taste buds were hooked.

Liu Nianru shook her head with a smile.

"No, no, no, it's just a hot pot base." After that, Liu Nianru took out half of the base material in the pot to cool, then looked at the inventory in the kitchen, and happened to see the soup that had been boiling for a long time on the side, so he directly scooped out most of the stock and put it into the hot pot base, and the thick white soup and the bright red chili oil fused together, bursting out with a more wonderful taste.

After doing all this, Liu Nianru clapped her hands and began to prepare a hot pot meal.

Potatoes, fungus, sweet potatoes, greens, bean sprouts, tomatoes, tofu, baby cabbage, lettuce, bamboo shoots and other vegetables, Liu Nianru can find some ingredients have been prepared.

Beef, pork belly, mutton, chicken, fish, pork belly, pig's trotters, hairy tripe, sausages and other meat dishes Liu Nianru are also cut and backed, and the soup base in the pot has begun to bubble at this time.

Liu Nianru took some spices at random and made three dips, and handed them to Duan Bailan and Wei Ming respectively.

"Come and try it, this is hot pot."

As she spoke, Liu Nianru unceremoniously put some of the plates of meat into the bottom of the pot and rolled it

The hot soup base quickly scalded the thin slices of meat, Liu Nianru picked up the meat slices and dipped them in some water, stuffed them into her mouth, the deliciousness of the meat and the deliciousness of the soup with numb and spicy refreshment converged in the mouth to create an indescribable taste.

Liu Nianru let out a satisfied smack, oh my God, she really hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, and she misses this taste so much.

Seeing this, Duan Bailan and Wei Ming also followed Liu Nianru's example and picked up the meat slices and put them in the pot, the hot soup hit their hands and instantly dispelled the winter cold, and after seasoning, they were put in their mouths, a strange taste, but they were exceptionally delicious.

Duan Bailan and Wei Ming's eyes lit up instantly, this is simply a delicacy in the world, and because the bottom of the pot is always hot, the hot pot is not cold, eating it as a family in winter can not only warm the body and mind, but also increase the feelings of the whole family, after all, everyone eats food in the same pot.

"Delicious, delicious!" Wei Ming smashed his mouth, couldn't stop in his hands, and kept eating shabu-shabu.

"Hmm!" There was a sound of swallowing saliva next to him, and Liu Nianru looked for the sound and saw that it was several chefs working in the kitchen.

"Don't look at it, you can also come and taste it, just mix the seasoning yourself." Liu Nianru waved her hand at a few people, hot pot was originally a thing that wanted the more people there was, the better it tasted.

With Liu Nianru's permission, several chefs who had been hungry for a long time couldn't hold back any longer, and came over one after another to do it themselves.

There are no rules for this hot pot, and it is easy to operate, as long as the dish is poured into the bottom of the pot, it can be fished out in less than half an hour, and the taste is really a must.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, this hot pot is really a must, we've never heard of it." The chef who took a bite gave a thumbs up and praised it constantly.

The atmosphere was joyful and completely dispelled the cold of winter.

Eating and eating, many people have cold sweat on their foreheads, this hot pot is delicious, but it is a little spicy after eating too much, and now they almost feel that their tongues are not their own.

Seeing this, Liu Nianru explained with a smile: "Because today is a display, the base I make is relatively spicy, which may not be in line with the taste of everyone here, if you want to eat it in the future, you can appropriately reduce the spiciness, in order to facilitate sales, the store can divide the spicy taste into three grades: slightly spicy, medium spicy, and spicy." ”

Liu Nianru introduced while eating, in fact, this was said to Wei Ming and the chefs.

"Of course, there is more than one form of hot pot, in order to let those guests who can't eat a little chili pepper eat hot pot, we can also make a mandarin duck pot!"

"What is a mandarin duck pot?" Wei Ming, whose face was flushed after eating, asked.

"The mandarin duck pot is a large pot with a partition inside, this partition can divide the pot into two, we can make a spicy pot on the one hand, and a clear soup pot on the other, and the clear soup pot is similar to the stock we usually make." Liu Nianru explained patiently.

"There is still such a pot in the world, which can put down that kind of soup with different flavors at once?" The chef's eyes lit up, and this was a brilliant idea!

"Naturally, but now there is no one in the store, if you want to use it widely, you need to find a blacksmith shop to customize this pot, this is the first one

Question, the second problem is that what I made today happened to be on the stove, but in the future, if this thing wants to be lifted on the table, it needs to solve the problem of the stove, after all, the hot pot needs a continuous supply. Liu Nianru threw this question to the restaurant, after all, she had made enough contributions, so she couldn't be completely chewed and spit out.

"Don't worry about that, we can make a few small cooktops and just put them on the table."
