However, without butter, she can completely replace it with lard.

Although the fragrance will definitely be greatly reduced, the ancients have never eaten hot pot, how can they know whether the hot pot they eat is authentic or not.

Lin Ruan pursed his lips and smiled, called the girls over, and each of them divided a pair of scissors and cut the bought pepper into sections.

Speaking of this chili, Lin Ruan also miscalculated.

There are no dried chili peppers sold here, and because of the season, there are not many chili peppers sold in the market.

It's a big problem, the most important materials aren't available, but it can have a big impact.

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult here for Lin Ruan.

If you don't have chili peppers, you can't just plant them when you go home.

Because the chili peppers were fresh, Lin Ruan explained to the two girls and told them to be careful and beware of the spicy hands.

The lard that I bought was handed over to the boys to be cleaned and refined.

Turn your head and take the spices, chop them finely, and soak them in white wine.

When the chili peppers are cut, pour them all into the pot, add water and cook slowly. After it is cooked to the point where you can crush it by hand, scoop it up and put it into a large stone trough where you can cook the rice, and scoop it like mud.

After the lard was refined, Lin Ruan put green onions, coriander, celery, and ginger slices in the hot oil pot, and slowly fried them over low heat, then took out the fried green onions and a few other things and threw them away, and then got out the chili puree, poured it into the lard, and slowly fried it over low heat until the water was almost dry, and poured all the spices soaked in wine and a large bag of peppercorns into the pot.

Soon, a special aroma spread through the kitchen.

The pot was bright red, and looking at it made Lin Yiping a little timid.

It's so spicy, so numb, can you eat it?

Lin Ruan didn't explain anything, and after the water in the pot was dry, she put most of the base ingredients into the pot, and there were still some base ingredients left in the pot, adding the big bone broth that was simmering fragrantly. After adding an appropriate amount of salt, the red soup of this hot pot is ready.

Clear soup doesn't have to be so troublesome, just use hanging chicken broth and add a few simple spices.

In the whole process of frying the base, there were only Lin Ruan and Lin Yiping, and those girls and boys were all blasted out of the kitchen.

Lin Ruan took the spoon and tasted each of the two pots, and nodded with satisfaction.

It's this flavor that, although less tangy than butter, is just as delicious.

Lin Yiping also found a spoon and brought some soup to his mouth.

The numb, spicy and fragrant taste instantly made him, a native from Shudi, fall in love.

"Big girl, why does this soup taste so good?"

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "The most important thing in this hot pot is the stir-frying of this base, and if the base is fried well, this hot pot is equal to half the success." Uncle Ping, have you memorized the steps? ”

Lin Yiping kept nodding: "Remember, but I have to try it myself, otherwise I don't know if I can make it taste like the big girl." Big girl, you just said that this base is only half of the hot pot? What about the other half? ”

"The other half is the sauce, and I'll do it later. Until then, I have a secret concoction to make. With this, the taste of hot pot will be more delicious. ”

Lin Ruan said, picked up the big fat chicken that was slaughtered on the side, quickly removed the chicken skin and chicken fat, removed the muscles, put it into a pot with water, ordered a few drops of white wine, added ginger slices, boiled over high heat, and simmered over low heat.

Bring a large pot of washed shiitake mushrooms, cut them into slices, put them in a pot that has been boiled dry, and bake them slowly over low heat.

After the shiitake mushrooms are cooked, the chicken is almost cooked. Scoop it up, tear it into thin shredded meat, and scoop it into minced meat in a stone trough.

After the mushroom slices are charred and dry, pour the minced meat into the pan and stir-fry and grill.

Stir-fry the water, let it dry, and grind it into a fine powder with a mill together with the shiitake mushroom slices.

This is Lin Ruan's homemade chicken essence.

Lin Ruan asked Lin Yiping to dip his fingers in a little chicken essence and put it in his mouth to taste, and Lin Yiping's eyes immediately widened in surprise.

"Big girl, this taste...... Fresh, so fresh! I've been a cook for so many years, and I usually use thick chicken soup to make fresh food, but I didn't expect that compared to this, it is simply a heaven and an earth. Big girl, how did you come up with this idea? ”

Lin Ruan pursed his lips and smiled, not answering the question.

Lin Yiping's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Lin Ruan.

With the chicken essence, Lin Ruan taught him to make Jiao.

The hot pot sauce is also very particular, and each flavor has a different preparation method.

Lin Ruan only taught Lin Yiping three first, and these three were enough for the opening of the hot pot restaurant.

When the sauce was ready, it was past noon, and it was almost three o'clock.

Lin Ruan realized that he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he had been busy before, so he could ignore the time.

Because they occupy the kitchen, everyone is still hungry.

"It just so happens that the bottom of the pot is ready-made, so let's eat a hot pot first, so that the big guy can taste it fresh. Go, wash all the vegetables I bought, and then marinate the meat slices into thin slices. ”

When the girls heard her instructions, they were all excited, and they hurriedly prepared.

When they were in the yard before, they smelled the smell wafting from the kitchen, and they were almost hungry.

I didn't expect the big girl to let them eat first.

Because I haven't found a blacksmith to cast a pot, I can only use two small pots for the time being, sitting on two small stoves, and make do with them.

All the dishes were washed and put on the table.

The table was not big enough, as the master, Lin Ruan and Xiuxiu were invited to the upper seat, Lin Yi and Lin Fu sat on both sides, a few girls and boys, and squeezed it, and those who really sat down stood at the table.

No one had ever eaten this new thing, and they didn't know how to do it.

Lin Ruan gave them a demonstration first.

"Put the vegetables in the pot, cook them until they are broken, scoop them up, put them in a bowl, and you can eat them."

Everyone waited for her to take the first bite, and then they started to move their chopsticks.

When the first bite of food entered the mouth, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

It's also so delicious!

Whether it's a red soup or a clear soup, the expression on everyone's face is the same surprise.

Lin Ruan was eating, but he was worried in his heart.

There are too few dishes.

The most important thing about eating hot pot, in addition to the delicious taste of hot pot, is the variety of ingredients.

And right now, they have such a big table of dishes, in addition to the green vegetables, there are two plates of lean meat, which is too single, and it is okay to eat at home, and if you want to open a store to do business, it will definitely not work.

Now is not her previous life, all kinds of hot pot ingredients can be bought in any market. Many things, such as duck intestines, duck paws, chicken gizzards, duck gizzards, these things are not available.

You can buy it in the bazaar, but in this way, the cost is high.

And it's easy to not be able to buy goods.

In this era, raising chickens and ducks is a local method, chickens and ducks grow slowly, she opened a hot pot restaurant, and the daily consumption is definitely not small, and it will not be available at that time, which is also a trouble.
