Upstairs were all private rooms, which were naturally given to female guests, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Liu, invited their respective friends, and actually filled two tables.

Gu Qingqing, Xu Xi and other little girls also sat at two tables, and Jiayin was too busy, so Baozhu and Gu Qingqing helped to accompany the guests.

Gu Qingqing is okay, but Baozhu often eats hot pot, and she is most familiar with the taste and dishes.

The downstairs lobby was handed over to Li Lao Er and Liu Zhiheng, both of whom were good at dancing with long sleeves, acting harmoniously, and entertaining colleagues and friends to eat and drink, which was a trivial matter.

The selected steward of the hot pot building is called Yao Qiong, like Zhao Hui, he is also the man next to Li Zhensheng, and he has been working as a deputy in the cyclamen.

Now that he has been transferred and promoted to the chief treasurer, for him, it is a dream leap!

He trained a pair of sharp eyes in the cyclamen, and he knew almost all the guests who entered the door.

When you can come forward to greet you, you can call out the guest's surname or official position, so that the guest can be satisfied without waiting for the table......

Hot pot is actually simpler than stir-frying.

Because it was newly opened, Jiayin and the cook only boiled two soup bases, spicy red soup and big bone consommé.

The brass pot with charcoal fire was placed in the middle of the table, half red, half milky, and boiled, which was simply fragrant.

A white porcelain plate was placed around it.

Thin slices of beef, lamb, clean yellow throat, shredded belly, golden crispy meat, green shrimp slippery, fish meatballs, beef balls, chicken carrot balls, tender mushrooms, thin vermicelli and so on.

The most conspicuous thing is the verdant and tender vegetables.

At this time, it is definitely a well-deserved protagonist!

In addition to these, there are also small carts next to the table.

The cart is divided into two layers, the lower level is for dishes and chopsticks, and the upper level is ten blue and white potbelly bowls.

The bowl is filled with sesame sauce, fermented bean curd sauce, leek paste, chopped green onion, chopped coriander, chopped peanuts, shrimp skin, minced garlic, beef sauce and mushroom sauce.

The colors are bright and varied, making it dazzling to look at.

A colleague who was good friends with Li Lao Er asked with a smile: "Uncle, we usually eat out a lot, but this is the first time to have such an elaborate banquet!"

"Uncle, don't look at our jokes, hurry up and teach us how to mix this sauce, my stomach is empty for a long time."

Others also had fun, and then said: "Yes, uncle, you invited us over, but we can only watch and not eat, it's really unkind!" ”

Everyone laughed along and agreed.

"It's the first time I've seen mutton beef slices so thin, isn't it blanched in the water and cooked immediately?"

"Yes, these greens are too fresh, but when boiled and eaten, isn't it too light?"

"I'm optimistic about this meatball, it should have a taste in itself."

Li Lao Er smiled and said, "All relatives and friends know that our family is from the Northland, and it is even colder there.

"In the winter, families like to eat some hot soup. After a long time, I figured out how to eat this kind of shabu-shabu.

"But when I come to us, I really don't know if everyone can get used to eating. That's why we have today's little gathering.

"I'll let the guy mix the dipping sauce for you, and we'll eat and drink to your heart's content. Whether it's delicious or not, you have to eat it to know, right? ”

With that, he beckoned to his fellow men, "Mix dipping sauce and pour wine for your guests." ”

The young men immediately stepped forward, took a small bowl, and whispered to the guests if there were any taboos, and then the sauce was prepared and served to the guests.

Everyone has also eaten cyclamen's spicy dishes and is very familiar with the spicy taste, so the mutton is directly sent to the red soup.

When it is cooked, take it out, wrap it in a sauce bowl, and bring it to your mouth.

The spicy stimulation, the mellow flavor of the sesame sauce, and the tenderness of the mutton with a little bit of fishy flesh are mixed together, which is really unexpectedly delicious.

Before they even had time to speak, curiosity prompted everyone to attack the next ingredient.

Until, all the ingredients have been tried, and everyone is half full.

"Uncle, this hot pot is simply amazing!"

"yes, take one bite and your whole body will warm up!"

"How did you come up with this method, a simple shabu-shabu, it's so delicious!"

Li Lao Er was proud in his heart, but he smiled kindly and modestly on his face, "It's good if everyone likes it, and I will have the opportunity to come often in the future." ”

With that, he asked people to serve the food again.

Because there are many dishes, the plates are not large, and the amount of dishes is only enough for one person and one chopstick.

By this time, many of the plates on the table were empty.

In the upstairs box, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Liu and others were also helping to greet everyone.

Second Mrs. Jia said with a smile: "I have eaten this hot pot once in Shajin Beach before, and I won't hide it from you, I can't go home and be hungry, and I also asked people to prepare a table according to the gourd painting."

"It's a pity that it doesn't taste right. Not to mention that there are no fresh vegetables and vegetables, and the soup base is not fragrant, especially the dipping sauce, which is 108,000 miles away.

"Fortunately, the county lord opened this hot pot building, as long as you are hungry in the future, you can come and eat at any time."

Mrs. Liu laughed and said in surprise: "Oh, it turns out that I am not the only one who steals the teacher."

"I also told the cook to make it at home, and it really tastes far worse than this."

Just as Jiayin came in from outside, Second Mrs. Jia smiled and pulled her to speak.

"County Lord, tell us quickly, we can't steal the teacher, what's the difference?"

Jiayin naturally knew that this was Mrs. Jia Er's ladder for her, so she said with a smile: "Uncle Niang doesn't know, this soup base looks like bone broth, but it's not just a matter of adding water to the bones and boiling it."

"There are more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs added to it, which not only tastes good, but also nourishes the body."

As she spoke, she pointed to the fish balls and beef balls, "And these ingredients, all of which are time-consuming and laborious, are real."

"For example, this fish ball, the fish is fishy, skinned, and shaved, and then beaten thousands of times to become meat puree, and finally the ball is formed into balls, which can be eaten delicately and deliciously after cooking.

"Especially this beef ball, the outside is beef, and the inside is wrapped with shrimp filling, which is extremely troublesome."

With that, she glanced at the women who were listening attentively, winked playfully twice, and added.

"In short, if the ladies want to eat hot pot, come to me, don't embarrass the cook at home!"

Everyone laughed and joked.

"The county lord is changing his tricks, and he wants to earn our silver!"

"Yes, I can see it too!"

Mrs. Liu even smiled and said: "Then we have to eat more today, so that the opportunity not to spend money is probably this time!" ”

Jiayin pulled Mrs. Liu's sleeve and coquettishly, "Uncle, you don't hurt me anymore, don't say anything about it, our mother and son will be good in the future!"

Mrs. Liu hugged her and shouted several times, and the others laughed even more.

For a while, the house was very lively!

At this time, Shui Ling pushed open the door and came in, glanced at everyone without a trace, and said softly, "County Lord, a distinguished guest has arrived." ”
