Chapter 131 131, Homemade Hot Pot
After chatting with Coach Johnson, Cheng Lei felt that things were not as simple as he thought, this Coach Johnson's intentions were a little too obvious, and he kept letting himself sign a contract, and there must be something greasy in it.
Cheng Lei is not a fool, although he has little experience in society, but in the past few years of living with his brother Cheng Yun, many times, he has handled his own affairs by himself, and he knows far more than others at this age.
After returning to his residence, Cheng Lei called Hicks and wanted to invite him to his home for dinner, and Hicks directly agreed.
After that, Cheng Lei called Morgan again and asked him to come over for dinner if he was fine.
After getting to know Hicks, he usually gives himself a lot of help, although Morgan has only known each other for a long time, he has already helped himself a lot, not to mention, he also worships himself as a master.
Cheng Lei felt that he should invite the two of them to have a meal together, but as for what to eat, Cheng Lei didn't pay attention to it for a while.
If you go out to eat, it's just steak, there is nothing new, although I usually cook by myself, but there are not many dishes that I can cook, after thinking about it, Cheng Lei decided to invite the two of them to eat hot pot at home.
The hot pot base is my own some time ago, and I specially purchased it from the Internet, and the original domestic hot pot recipe should be pretty good to see the evaluation.
As for the other ingredients, you can buy them back as long as you go to the supermarket.
So, Cheng Lei set off, rode a bicycle, and came to a large supermarket far away.
Cheng Lei has only been to this supermarket twice, because the place where he lives is still relatively far away, Cheng Lei usually goes to the small supermarket next to the apartment, and there are basic daily necessities.
After coming to the big supermarket, Cheng Lei went directly to the area of hot pot ingredients according to his impression and began to buy ingredients.
Hot pot, meatballs are indispensable, when Cheng Lei was in China, it was indispensable to eat hot pot was peeing cow balls, and when he came here, of course, it was no exception.
Cheng Lei looked for the kind of packaged, there were six in a small bag, and I didn't know if the two liked to eat this, Cheng Lei took three bags, and the others took some fish balls, shrimp crackers, etc.
Not to mention, the hot pot ingredients sold in this supermarket are very similar to those in China.
To eat hot pot, of course, you also need to have beef hair tripe, as well as fat cow, but the beef hair tripe is really difficult to find here, Cheng Lei looked for a long time, and only found the kind of vacuum packaging, and the taste will definitely not be as good as the fresh one.
As for the fat cow, Cheng Lei didn't find it, but there was more beef here, and Cheng Lei directly bought a piece of beef.
The big deal is to cut it into beef cubes, take a string of bamboo skewers, and eat beef cubes in soup is also very good.
Others bought some aquatic products such as shrimp, of course, vegetables are also indispensable, Cheng Lei went to buy some fresh vegetables, and there happened to be a seller of rice cakes on the side, so he took a box.
The rest is also the most important, that is, the dipping sauce, a good hot pot is indispensable for the dipping sauce, however, the types of dipping sauce here are too few, so Cheng Lei thought, go back and process it yourself.
I bought two bottles of Lao Gan Ma, and then, I bought a few garlic and went back.
After returning to the apartment, Cheng Lei hurriedly began to prepare, after cleaning all the dishes, put the hot pot base into the hot pot at home, and began to heat it first.
Then, Cheng Lei began to make his own hot pot base.
First peel off the garlic, cut it into garlic paste, then pour some salad oil into the pot, wait for the oil to boil, pour in the garlic paste, pour in the old godmother after stir-frying, continue to stir-fry, wait for the fragrance to come out, it's done, sprinkle some green onions, it's done.
At this time, the hot pot base also melted, and after turning off the fire, I waited for the two of them to come.
At about six o'clock in the evening, Hicks and Morgan came together.
"Master, I brought you some fruit!" Morgan walked in with a bag of oranges in his hand.
"It's good to come directly, why do you still buy things!"
"I just went downstairs with Hicks and found that the oranges bought at the fruit shop next door were relatively fresh, so I bought some!" Morgan said with a smile.
"Sit down, I'll show you some of the magic of hot pot today," Cheng Lei said, pointing to the hot pot on the table.
"Hot pot? I've always heard people say that hot pot has a different kind of magic, and this is the first time I've eaten it! "Hicks almost fell off.
"Can you not be so embarrassed, didn't you go to eat hot pot together last time?" Morgan said.
"Can that be the same, that hot pot, at first glance, it's not authentic!" Hicks said solemnly.
Cheng Lei's hot pot is purchased from China on the Internet, and after the base material melts, as soon as it is added, it begins to bubble, and the fragrance comes out, and Hicks swallows saliva when he smells it.
"I made some spices, do you want them? If you don't like it, I have other spices here! Cheng Lei brought up the seasoning he had just concocted, and then took out some sand tea sauce and hoisin sauce that had not yet been opened.
"Master, your seasoning tastes so good!" Morgan sniffed and said.
Then, pour some into your own bowl.
Because the two of them don't know how to use chopsticks, Cheng Lei is very intimate with the kind of chopsticks for foreigners that they can use like tweezers.
"Hicks, that's not how tripe is eaten!"
Watching Hicks put the beef hair belly into the hot pot and never picked it up, Cheng Lei said.
"Is there a special way to eat this?" Hicks said, turning his head.
They usually eat by putting the ingredients together in the pot and then eating them together when they are cooked.
"We said over there, to eat beef tripe, you have to pay attention to seven up and eight down, you see how I eat!"
After speaking, Cheng Lei sandwiched a piece of beef hair tripe, started a demonstration, quickly went up and down in the hot pot soup, and when it was the eighth time, he put it in his dipping sauce, dipped it, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it with satisfaction.
"Master, this won't be uncooked, right?" Morgan said.
"Don't worry, this is the most authentic way to eat!"
Morgan followed Cheng Lei's example, took a pair of chopsticks, put them in the pot and quickly put them up, and then followed Cheng Lei's example and dipped them in the dipping sauce and stuffed them into his mouth.
At first, I wrinkled nothing, but after chewing a few times, my eyes lit up.
"How?" Hicks asked, looking at Morgan expectantly.
"Delicious!" Morgan gave a thumbs up and immediately added another piece and put it in the hot pot to burn it.
I wiped it, forgot to take out the wine, and after eating for a while, Cheng Lei realized that something was missing, so he moved out a box of beer from the kitchen room, and each of the three of them opened a bottle.
"Hicks, Coach Johnson talked to me about something today, and I think it's weird!" Cheng Lei said after taking a sip of wine.
"This guy is not a good person, I was almost cheated by him before!" Hicks said through gritted teeth.
Hicks took a sip of wine before he began to say slowly: "I just entered the North Carolina Club, and I was also in the second team, this guy lied to me and told me to introduce me to an agent, and later, I found out that the agency is a trick!" ”
