Chapter 154: Assorted pots
Unconsciously, Ye Tiantian has been living in this place for half a year, the temperature is getting colder and colder, Doctor Mo has already made a lot of new clothes, and the fabrics of the clothes sent over are excellent, but they are not fabrics that people in the city can recognize, it can be regarded as low-key luxury.
Recently, Yifengju is also half-open and half-closed, Xu is want to stay at home and use the oven, and he doesn't want to come out in this ice and snow, Hu Ershu took dividends to Ye Tiantian not long ago, she didn't expect a total of two hundred taels of silver.
Hu Ershu added a sum of money selfishly, but most of the amount was indeed earned back by Ye Tiantian's own efforts.
"Tian Tian, with this silver, you can slowly do what you like again." Hu Ershu knew that Ye Tiantian was a girl with ideas, and he supported her.
Ye Tiantian suddenly thought of it when he was at home one day, the most indispensable thing in Sichuan winter is hot pot, and here, is there any condition to let himself do this?
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Tiantian jumped up from the bed, put on an extremely thick coat, and began to pound on the stove.
The pot for steaming rice was on top of the carbon, and the finely chopped wood was just hot, and Ye Tiantian took out all the ingredients in the house, pork neck, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
Immediately Ye Tiantian began to make dipping sauce, the most important thing to eat assorted pots is this dipping sauce, just like the most important thing in Sichuan hot pot is the bottom of the pot and the oil dish, however, the current ingredients are too scarce, and when the ingredients are all found, maybe he can really make Sichuan hot pot.
With this assorted pot, Yifengju's business will surely become more and more prosperous.
First chop the chili pepper and marinate it with salt, a little green pepper and a little ginger. The dipping sauce must be fried before it feels delicious, and many people in modern times think that eating this light pot, the dipping sauce is mostly raw, but the actual ingredient still has to go through the oil pan again.
Thinking of this, Ye Tiantian thought about going to the market to see if there were any ingredients that could be used as dipping sauces, and if he could find green peppers, Yifengju's business would go to the next level.
The weather is bitterly cold, and the pedestrians outside can be seen sporadically, and most of the people who come to buy vegetables are maids and cooks from rich and noble families, maybe these people will give themselves some new ideas.
Ye Tiantian listened carefully to their conversation while shopping for vegetables.
"You say how to eat this recent dish, at this time of year, the freshly prepared dishes at home will cool very quickly, and the hot dishes can't be served." A cook in the house was complaining, and this question must have bothered him for a long time.
The other cook continued, "Dude, there is no way to do it, so I have to buy more food and go back." ”
Ye Tiantian suddenly had an idea, and he was even more determined to do the assorted pot thing.
"Ye girl, why are you here?" Brother Gao looked at Ye Tiantian from a distance, he didn't expect this little girl to come out to buy vegetables on such a cold day, she really likes to cook.
Ye Tiantian was also pleasantly surprised, he thought that she was the only one who came out of Yifengju: "Brother Gao, are you also out to buy vegetables?" ”
Maybe I don't know what Brother Gao knows.
Brother Gao walked beside Ye Tiantian, in this weather, the little girl couldn't come out alone, so she would follow her.
"Brother Gao, are there any seasonal vegetables here in winter?" Ye Tiantian hadn't been to the ground at home for a long time, but even if she had seen it herself, she might not be able to recognize what was growing in the ground.
Brother Gao thought carefully. At this moment, he will be asked to say a name, and he will not recognize it.
"I remember, you can follow me." Brother Gao led the way in front, as if he was going to sell fish in the same direction.
There is a kind of fish here in winter, I have never seen it, but I bought it and made it at home, and the meat is excellent, but I don't know what to do with it.
Ye Tiantian didn't expect that the fish here are still divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, sure enough, it is still the stall that sells fish is the most lively here, no wonder the best selling in Yifengju is still Qinglong.
Before the temperature dropped, Ye Tiantian asked Hu Erjue to go to Youzhou again, and this time he brought back green peppercorns and chili peppers, with these two things, the bottom of the assorted pot was gone.
Every time Ye Tiantian comes here, he always finds many new surprises, I don't know what kind of surprise he will bring to himself this time?
"Right here, these fish are all caught by digging holes in the ice, so the price is a little more expensive." Compared with ordinary grass carp and carp, the price of this fish is 50 cents.
Ye Tiantian took a closer look, and the body of the slightly frozen fish emitted a light that surprised Ye Tiantian: "Is this it?" Whiting? ”
So why do the species in the depths of the Atlantic themselves see it in this place? Only when the water quality is excellent does it attract these fish, and the lake is a treasure trove.
"Excuse me, I want all the fish you have here." How could she not want the best cod, this is simply a gift from God.
Brother Gao didn't expect that he would bring Ye Tiantian over casually, and let her discover something excellent.
Ye Tiantian quietly said to Brother Gao: "Brother Gao, in the future, you must buy all such fish." ”
Brother Gao nodded seriously.
With cod, the base of the assorted pot is there, plus pork neck or beef, and the basic ingredients are complete.
"Brother Gao, is there that kind of green pepper here? It is the same color as green peppercorns. Ye Tiantian couldn't wait to find new materials.
Brother Gao thought carefully, Ye Tiantian didn't have much hope, after all, it was his luck to meet the ingredients.
"Come with me, maybe my friend's house has what you want." Brother Gao led Ye Tiantian to a deeper place.
The fenced yard reminded Ye Tiantian of what he looked like when he went to Xinjiang, but the smell of this icy and snowy land still has a bit of a northern feeling.
"Lao Li, open the door, I'll bring you food." Brother Gao knocked on the door vigorously, for fear that the people inside would not be able to hear.
With a squeak, the wooden door opened: "Lao Gao, why are you free to come over today, come in and sit, hey, who is this little girl?" Your granddaughter? ”
As soon as Ye Tiantian heard these words, he knew that this Lao Li must also be an old and immodest person, although he understood it, but now after all, he was a teenage girl, of course, he had to pretend that he couldn't understand.
"you." Brother Gao hammered him hard. "This is our chef at Yifeng Ju, and today I specifically asked you for something." Brother Gao was also helpless, there was no way to meet such a friend himself.
The inside of the room was even warmer than Ye Tiantian imagined, and he didn't know how it was made.
"We want to ask you, have you ever seen a green pepper?" In between the two of them, Ye Tiantian observed all kinds of ingredients hanging on the wall, and even, she saw on it...
"Don't get excited, little girl, I know you're interested in that thing." How could someone who liked food so much not inquire about Ye Tiantian, everything was under his control.
Ye Tiantian looked at the strings of things above, it was the garlic that he was thinking about, if green pepper is one of Ye Tiantian's favorite ingredients, then garlic is one of the things that Ye Tiantian can't do without.
Ye Tiantian hurriedly asked the person who was sitting: "How did this come about?" Why do you have these things? ”
Brother Gao said: "This old man is specifically doing business with the Western Regions, and they are very close to here in the Western Regions, and some things collected in other places will be sold here." ”
"The Western Regions? It seems that this is really like the previous Silk Road. Ye Tiantian was in a trance.
Since there is the existence of the Western Regions, it is even more likely that you can find all the ingredients by yourself.
"I still have a basket of this here, I can give it to you, but you must promise me one condition." Lao Li has no hobbies in his life, he just likes to eat.
He had already inquired about Ye Tiantian, but he was not the kind of person who was about to be sent to the door, and this kind of transaction was his favorite way.
"From today onwards, every new dish you make will be eaten before it is on the menu of Yifeng Ju, and it can't be perfunctory to me." It turns out that in the final analysis, it was because of the eating thing.
Ye Tiantian nodded and agreed: "I can guarantee this matter." ”
After getting a positive answer, Lao Li dragged out two baskets of things from the room inside, Ye Tiantian really sighed at his luck, a basket of garlic and a basket of green peppers, and they were found by themselves at the same time.
"There's a total of two taels of silver here." Lao Li casually offered a price, within the range that Ye Tiantian could bear, perhaps because of the low temperature, these ingredients were extremely well preserved.
If I hadn't met Brother Gao today, maybe my luck wouldn't have been so good.
"Brother Gao, thank you so much today." When Ye Tiantian and Brother Gao were returning to Yifeng Residence, Ye Tiantian said sincerely.
"Xiao Ye, Brother Gao has always had a dream of cooking, but his talent is not high, you are the most talented person I have ever met, I can see all kinds of dishes, which is my greatest satisfaction." Brother Gao didn't mind at all, and the place where he could help was naturally to help with all his might.
When I returned to Yifengju, and in order to thank Brother Gao, I was going to share the assorted pot with Brother Gao, and then I would send it to that person.
Green peppers are still large green peppers, and they do not have the spicy taste of small green peppers, making them an excellent ingredient for dipping sauces.
Wash the green peppers, remove the seeds in the middle, put the four green peppers on the cutting board and chop them at a uniform speed, put the green peppers in a bowl, a little chili peppers, chop them, mix them with the green peppers, cut the garlic into granules, and put them in vinegar and soy sauce.
Ye Tian first put the cod on the steamer to steam, the cod must be boiled to be delicious, if it is cooked in other ways, it will destroy the meat quality of the cod.
Boil the crucian carp in the pot and add the tofu. Ye Tiantian began to cut the ingredients on the side, and the two of them ate assorted pots, and the only requirement was that they must be full.
Ye Tiantian took about half a catty of pork neck, slipped it, and put it on a plate.
"Brother Gao, can you come in and help me get a charcoal basin?" Ye Tiantian shouted outside the house.
I thought it was Ye Tiantian who was cold, but I didn't expect to let myself take it out.
After the cod is steamed, the cod is cut into pieces, and the steamed cod is slightly transparent, and the cod is indeed the best edible fish.
The fish soup is used as the base of the pot, and the ingredients carefully prepared by Ye Tiantian make the first assorted pot in this society.
Ye Tiantian came out with the pot and said to the big brother who was sitting, "Come and try the new dish I made." ”
Placing the table outside, the aroma of green peppers and garlic successfully attracted the attention of Brother Gao.
"This is the ingredient you just brought over?" Looking at the blue and red color inside the bowl, I was very appetizing.
The boiling pot eased the cold temperature a little, and Brother Gao learned Ye Tiantian's movements, it turned out that the food could still be eaten like this.
The flavor of crucian carp soup gradually becomes stronger, if you like it a little lighter, then the ingredients are fully loaded and rolled in the pot. You can eat it, no matter how bad it is, if you like spicy food, this dipping dish is an excellent thing.
Assorted pots are just boiled with the usual ingredients in the pot, but for cold times, such dishes are more of a manifestation of feelings.
"Brother Gao, what do you think of the taste of this dish?" Ye Tiantian asked.
Brother Gao's whole body has warmed up after eating: "I think your idea is very good, but this dipping dish can be made of several different types, tomorrow you go and talk to the shopkeeper Hu, he will definitely support your idea." ”
Of course, Ye Tiantian also affirmed this statement, after all, assorted pots are still very attractive in winter.
Zhongjitang's business has been relatively small recently, and Ye Xiaozhou's efforts to boil medicine are getting better and better.
Doctor Mo saw Ye Tiantian who suddenly appeared at the door and said reproachfully: "You girl didn't say hello when she came over, it scared me."
Ye Tiantian couldn't bear to demolish his grandfather, so he cooperated and said: "It's my granddaughter's fault this time, I will definitely tell my grandfather in advance next time."
Ye Xiaozhou heard the movement outside, and hurriedly ran over: "Sister, I'm hungry."
Grandpa Mo was very angry when he saw these two little girls: "Xiaozhou, why don't you go and boil the medicine quickly, your sister will cook here today."
Ye Tiantian originally had this idea, but he didn't expect that the respected Doctor Mo still had such an old naughty side.
"Okay, okay, I'll just do it, you can watch the shop here." Ye Tiantian turned around and walked towards the back room.
Ye Tiantian thought that Brother Astragalus was also there, so he decided to cook more dishes.
I made a braised fish, and halfway through the meal, I went to Yifengju to get some ingredients back.
Let's make assorted pots here once too, Ye Tiantian smiled, she has always been very persistent about hot pot. Put all the remaining vegetables in the kitchen in the pot and stir-fry them, plus a full hall of gold and jade, it is completely enough for five people to eat.
Near noon, Ye Xiaozhou began to go in and out to help, Chu Chen knew that Ye Tiantian was coming, but he was busy with the affairs of Zhongjitang, and he remembered some of her recent situation in his heart.
"Everyone's coming to dinner." Ye Xiaozhou's voice spread throughout the entire Zhongji Hall, and maybe it was heard in the shop next to him.
Ye Tiantian asked Brother Astragalus to take the charcoal basin out, and the assorted pot was placed on it, and the five of them ate happily.
