Hot pot, the earliest origin is difficult to verify, one is really the Three Kingdoms period, everyone around the pot to eat boiled vegetables, one is said to be the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song soldiers in order to run to the city, there is no time to cook meat to eat, so the meat is cut into thin slices, in the pot to eat, thus opening the door to a new world of taste. Another theory is that the Chongqing slender man who doesn't know what age he was, forced to work hard to make a living, everyone contributed all the food, added spices, etc., and cooked it in a pot.

However, no matter which statement it is, it will be overturned today, because Chen Fei intends to officially put the mature hot pot eating method on the stage of history.

The people put the hot pot bracket and alcohol on the table, followed by plates of all kinds of meat and vegetables.

In order to improve the freshness of the hot pot, Chen Fei also specially asked people to go to Chang'an to find a relationship, buy shrimp at a high price, and put it in the hot pot to cook, which is simply natural monosodium glutamate.

Subsequently, the person placed the extracted alcohol in the center of the small holder, and then they all retreated. The base of the hot pot is still boiling and will take a little while before it can be served.

Li Shimin was immediately unhappy when he saw a table of lettuce, and asked, "Zicheng, didn't you say that you should prepare some fresh dishes for me to taste?" What are you doing now? Raw? How do I get out of my mouth? Don't you want me to have diarrhea? ”

Chen Daomai also squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Fei desperately, signaling him not to tease the saint indiscriminately.

Only the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Chen Fei with a smile, and he had a hunch that Chen Fei would definitely be able to surprise them.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the hot pot will come up soon!" As he spoke, the servants had already walked into the house with four steaming pots.

The pot is not only steaming, but also has a spicy and pungent smell, although it smells a little pungent, but it makes people can't help but salivate and swallow continuously.

"What does it smell like? Ahh Li Shimin sneezed, but the smell did make him a little unable to sit still, if it weren't for the image of himself as the Son of Heaven, the saliva might have burst the embankment, even he wondered why he had such a big reaction when he smelled this strange smell.

Chen Fei smiled slightly, and after the subordinate lit the alcohol and set up the pot, he explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the dish I ate today is called... Mandarin duck hot pot! ”

"Mandarin duck hot pot? What does this mean? Li Shimin looked at the pot in front of him and said curiously, there was a baffle in the middle of the pot, which divided the pot into two halves, half of which was clear soup, and the other half was bubbling with red oil, and some chili peppers were placed in it.

Considering that it was too spicy for a few people to eat it, Chen Fei deliberately reduced the number of chili peppers by half, otherwise, I was afraid that a few people would not be able to eat it at all.

Even so, the spicy smell wafting out still made several people a little unbearable to smell it, of course, they couldn't stand it.

"Your Majesty, this mandarin duck hot pot is made of beef bone broth for three hours, half is clear soup, half is spicy soup, it looks like a contrast, combined with the shape of the pot like a yin and a yang, so the minister named it Mandarin Duck hot pot."

"Soup? You're going to let me drink the soup? ”

"No, no! Your Majesty, what about the hot pot, after the soup in the pot boils, put the lettuce on the plate into it and cook it and take it out to eat. I can't say clearly, or I would like to ask Your Majesty to follow the ministers... Eating hot pot? ”

As he spoke, Chen Fei poured the shrimp and meatballs on the small plate into the pot first, and poured half of the clear soup and spicy into the pot.

Li Shimin didn't move, Wanfu next to him poured the shrimp and meatballs into the pot for him, and the eldest grandson Wuji and his father had no one to serve, so they did it themselves and had enough food and clothing.

Then Chen Fei put some difficult to cook, or those that couldn't be cooked, into the pot first, and waited for the pot to boil.

As for the beef slices, lamb slices, etc., just put them first and wait until the pot is boiling.

He picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, and confessed to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji: "There is no pomp and circumstance in Weichen's house, and the hospitality is inevitably inconsiderate, so Weichen will punish himself with a glass first!" As he spoke, he drank the wine from his glass in one gulp.

Li Shimin looked at Chen Fei playfully, "Zicheng, I heard that your family property is also quite a lot, Chen Ji has opened so many shops, and the business is so good, I am afraid that there are countless assets in the family, why are you reluctant to even invite a few maids?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also responded: "Yes, we have to do it ourselves to drink a drink, and your hospitality is too inconsiderate." ”

Chen Fei smiled, raised his glass and punished himself again.

Li Shimin was poured wine and cooked hot pot for him by Wanfu, although the eldest grandson Wuji was disgusted, but he was not ambiguous about doing it himself, not only did not dislike it, but was full of interest.

Probably because I am used to being pampered, I occasionally do it, I have enough food and clothing, and there is an inexplicable sense of freshness.

After a few people chatted casually for a while, the hot pot finally boiled again, the smell wafting out became more and more fragrant, and the irritating stomach gurgled.

Chen Fei saw that the time was almost up, so he asked everyone to follow him, pick up a slice of thinly cut beef from the plate containing the beef, put it in the boiling water pot and soak it for a while, about seven or eight seconds after the pot, the beef was sandwiched out, put it in the prepared secret seasoning plate and dipped it, and then ate it in one bite.

"Wow! The taste of nostalgia! Chen Fei hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the second slice of beef, secretly glanced at Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, and found that their reaction was similar to his own.

And Li Shimin urged Wanfu to start the next round.

Hehe, it seems that everyone recognizes the taste of hot pot! This time, Chen Fei put the cow wool in the spicy pot and soaked it, took it out, didn't care about the hot mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The beef was mixed with the spicy soup, and the spicy taste that exploded in his taste buds at that moment made him want to cry excitedly.

How long has it been? How long has it been since you had spicy hot pot? Is there anything more enjoyable than eating a spicy hot pot when it's snowing in winter? It's so delicious that I want to cry!

"Ahem, ahem! Water! Give me water! Li Shimin was obviously spicy, coughing and urging for water.

Wanfu hurriedly got a glass of turbid wine and handed it to Li Shimin, which made him feel a little better.

"Zicheng, what is this? Why is it so spicy? After feeling the spicy taste, Li Shimin looked at Chen Fei with a little unkind face, the taste was so exciting that he almost vomited it, but... It seems that after a careful review, there is actually a strong feeling of wanting to take another bite?

Also spicy were the eldest grandson Wuji and Dad, several of them obviously had never eaten such a spicy thing, and the spicy taste made them a little unacceptable.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is a soup made of chili peppers, called spicy soup, and the one floating and red on it is the chili pepper, which is a new variety that the minister bought from Hu Shang. Chen found that after eating this, he could get rid of the dampness in the body and resist the cold, which was really an indispensable seasoning adjunct in winter. It is... It's just that I may be a little unaccustomed to eating it for the first time......."

"Chili?" Li Shimin picked up the chopsticks, took out a small chili pepper and looked at it, and then made a move that Chen Fei wanted to vomit blood, he actually ate the chili pepper in one bite!
