When Liu Ci returned home, Cang Changfeng and Gong Le had not yet come, and Liu Nange and Su Xiachi had not returned.

"Su Zi, cut the potatoes into medium-thick slices, just choose the vegetables and wash them, and the tofu is also cut into slices similar to the potatoes, and the vegetarian dishes will be handed over to you to deal with, and I will deal with these meats!"

"Lord, don't worry, it's okay to leave these to me!" Su Zi responded happily.

Liu Ci went to switch to meat, but before processing the meat, the bottom of the pot must be prepared, Liu Ci took out the pork bones he bought from the market, and his smile was extraordinarily bright, of course, the base soup of the hot pot should be made with bone broth, fragrant and delicious, it is very powerful to think about.

I washed the mandarin duck pot I had just brought back from the iron shop inside and out, put the big chopped bones in one side of the two pots, added water and some condiments I bought and stewed on the fire.

The longer the bone broth is stewed, the more delicious it tastes, and the soup is the key to a delicious hot pot.

After simmering the base soup, Liu Ci started to buy the meat, dividing the three catties of beef into two halves, half of the beef was cut into thin slices for shabu-shabu, and the other half was cut into slightly thicker slices and marinated with salt and oil and some chili powder.

The same is true for lamb.

After processing the meat, Liu Ci saw that Su Zi still had some vegetarian dishes that were not ready, so he changed a piece to help prepare, and just when the two of them were almost ready, Liu Nange and Su Xiachi came back with their front feet, and Cang Changfeng and Gong Le came in with two pots of good wine and some snacks from Zuixianlou.

"Wow, that smells so good? I haven't gone into the yard yet, I can already smell it outside, at first I was thinking about which food is so good, now I know, it's here! ”

Cang Changfeng and Gong Le said hello to Liu Nange and Su Xiachi Su Xiachi again, and then put the things on the table and walked towards the place where Liu Ci was busy.

For the Liu family, Cang Changfeng is already a frequent visitor, so he is not restrained when he comes here, it is extraordinarily natural, but it is the first time he has come to Gong Le, he is a little embarrassed, he basically doesn't talk much, and his face is still flushed with a faint flush, but his eyes are shining and looking at the pot that Liu Ci is taking care of now.

He used to think that it was a good thing to be able to eat a full meal, but after cooperating with Liu Ci, she gradually took him to eat some delicious food, but it was the first time she smelled such a fragrant taste.

Liu Ci looked at the two of them with a greedy look, and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, you two don't block up here, go clean up, we'll be ready to eat soon."

"So fast? Looks like we're going to have a good time tonight. ”

Cang Changfeng led Gong Le out, Liu Nange and Su Xiachi were also waiting outside, it was the first time for the two of them to hear such a novel thing, I heard that it was Ci'er from the book, and the smell was indeed not quite the same as the food they ate on weekdays, and I don't know what it tasted like?

Soon, Liu Ci moved to the living room with the stove and pot, this winter, it was really cold outside, and the kitchen was not so big for so many people to sit there and eat together, so the living room became the best choice.

Looking at Su Zi, who came up with two plates of dishes, Liu Ci mobilized everyone and said, "If you have nothing to do now, help us serve the dishes together!" ”

The group of people together, only ran twice, and all the dishes were served, and the six of them but Liu Ci prepared ten dishes, four of which were meat dishes and six were vegetarian dishes.

Except for Liu Ci, the group was a little overwhelmed when they saw this scene, or Liu Nange asked first: "Ci'er, the dishes served here are all raw, is it difficult to eat them like this?" ”

Liu Ci was stunned when he heard Liu Nange's words, and then laughed: "Of course not, how can you eat raw?" I don't already have the bottom of the pot ready, I just put these things in if I want to eat them, and then cook them. ”

Liu Ci lifted the lid on the mandarin duck pot as he spoke, and a burst of fragrance came to his face.

Looking at the boiling base soup, Cang Changfeng asked with some doubts, "It's that simple?" ”

Liu Ci nodded: "It's as simple as that!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up a thin slice of beef with a pair of chopsticks and went into a part.

"Because this meat is very thinly sliced, you can eat it by dipping it in the base soup for a while, the red side is a spicy pot, and the white side is a clear soup pot, and you can choose to put what you like to eat into a pot with different flavors according to your taste."

As he spoke, the red beef that went in changed color.

"Come, mother, I'll give you this first." Liu Ci first grabbed a chopstick and put it in Su Xiachi's bowl.

"Mine?" Seeing that Liu Ci was so favoritous, Liu Nange also began to be a little angry.

"Daddy, you're here." Liu Ci added another piece of meat and put it into Liu Nange's bowl, in order to avoid other people asking him next, so Liu Ci sandwiched a piece of meat for them alone, some in the spicy pot, and some in the clear soup pot.

"You can taste what the two broths taste like, and then decide on your taste."

Seeing that everyone ate the first piece of meat smoothly, Liu Ci looked at everyone expectantly.

"Is it delicious?"

Seeing that everyone nodded, Liu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the simplified version of the hot pot made in ancient times is also okay.

"Then let's eat a lot!"

Liu Ci and a group of people were happy to eat hot pot at Liu's house, but they felt sorry for An Cheng.

After An Cheng returned to the study, because he was too curious, he asked Xiao Yuhuai about the hot pot that Liu Ci said before, but he didn't expect that after hearing what she said, Xiao Yuhuai didn't get entangled in what the hot pot was, but sensitively grasped the "we" he relayed from Liu Ci's girl.

When Xiao Yuhuai heard these two words, he probably guessed that there would definitely be Cang Changfeng there, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little depressed, because these things made him unable to eat that hot pot with Liu Ci, but had to stay in the mansion to deal with these things.

Alas, this personal guard of his is really too incompetent, and he was originally going to punish him to clean the latrine and stable in two days, but now it seems that it is no longer needed, and this time is just right!

"Ancheng! You don't have to be an eyesore in the king's presence now, the latrines and stables need you even more! ”
