Chapter 358: Shabu-shabu on a winter afternoon
"Shabu-shabu?" , Just listening to the name, Xiao Cui couldn't guess what kind of dish this would be, but looking at Huamian means to use so many ingredients prepared to make it, what kind of rich taste will it be when they are made together? Xiao Cui couldn't help but look forward to it.
Hua Mian was roasting stones here, and Xiao Cui was shouting over there to put the spices she had taken on the low cabinet next to the table, and there was a table full of bottles and cans.
And Xiao Jin was called to bring down the casserole that was simmering on the stove on the other side, and the casserole had been simmering for an unknown amount of time, and the bottom of the pot had been burned to black and purple.
Xiaojin padded several layers of coarse cloth towels before the casserole was brought down, and the lid was lifted, which turned out to be soup simmered with mushrooms and chicken, and the casserole had an excellent effect of storing heat, and the soup inside was still tumbling violently after being placed on the table.
Hua Mian neatly arranged the tableware containing the prepared ingredients next to the casserole, took a few empty bowls and poured in various seasonings, mixed them evenly and placed them in front of the tables corresponding to several seats.
Seeing that His Royal Highness Eleventh and Young Master Sikong Xiao had started class, Xiao Yin returned to the kitchen to eat his lunch after tidying up a little, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw several people sitting around the table, and there was a table full of raw ingredients on the table.
"What's going on? Why haven't you prepared lunch yet? I'm going to starve to death," Xiao Yin said as he walked over to the table.
"You're back! It's just right, we're about to eat after we've cleaned it up", Hua Mian said and picked up two pebbles from the iron frame and threw them into the large casserole in the center of the wooden table: "This pebble was specially found by me, it is bigger than the one that warms the baby, it can store heat better, and it can be used for a long time."
The already steaming soup in the pot became more and more intense, Hua Mian beckoned Xiao Yin to sit down, and at the same time handed over the bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Yin took the bowl, looked down and saw that it contained a small half bowl of sauce ground with sesame seeds and peanuts before Hua Mian, and looked up and asked, "Didn't Sister Hua Mian say that this is called sesame sauce is a seasoning?" How do you use it now? Need I pour it into a pot? ”
Hua Mian was afraid that he would pour it in directly, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "This is called dipping sauce, a must-have when eating shabu-shabu."
Xiaoyin turned his head and saw that Xiao Jin Xiaocui sitting at the table also had the same bowl of dipping sauce in front of them, the difference was that there were other things in each bowl's bowl besides dipping sauce.
"Don't look at it, sit down"
Hearing Hua Mian's words, Xiao Yin noticed that the other people had begun to bury their heads in eating, the chicken in the pot was stewed until the meat was soft and rotten, and the flesh and bone were separated with a little force, and the mahjong in the bowl was dipped in the bowl and put in the mouth...
"It's so delicious! How can it be so delicious! Xiao Cui shouted and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the chicken, and Xiao Yin, who had been busy outside for most of the day, smelled the aroma wafting from the casserole and couldn't help but join the battle for vegetables.
A few people were eating happily, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, and there were two sisters and brothers, Sikong Yue and Sikong Xiao, standing at the door.
Seeing that it was the two people with the identity of General Zhenbei and His Royal Highness's swordsmanship teacher, the few people sitting around the table except Hua Mian were busy getting up and saluting, Hua Mian saw them come in and just said: "Why did you come, there is an empty bowl over there, bring it yourself, and make it yourself what dipping sauce you want to eat."
