Chapter 255: Hot Pot Special
Qu Shaowen took a look, and the pot on their table was different from the pot on the adjacent table.
On the next table was a copper pot with a protruding piece in the middle, and the milky white soup was circled in a circle.
Their pot was divided into two parts, one of which threw a few red dates and something that was supposed to be Chinese medicine, and the other half of the pot contained chili peppers of different lengths.
The peppers are sautéed, and the aroma has jumped out.
They hadn't seen such a thing as chili peppers, but they only knew after Yu Xiaoni introduced them that these smelling and fragrant things were chili peppers.
Yu Xiaoni put down the stove, and a shopkeeper came over with a particularly large teapot, and the milky white soup poured out of it, poured into the half of the pot of red dates, and stopped when it was half full.
He poured a small half into another pot filled with chili peppers, and after the shopkeeper who took the pot finished pouring it, another shopkeeper came up and poured a large pot into the chili pot.
This time, it was a red oil soup, which contrasted sharply with the milky white of the other pot, but the aroma became more and more intense.
Qu Shaowen and the three of them unconsciously shook their noses, sniffing the smell wafting out of the pot.
The charcoal fire was booming in Tonglu, Yu Xiaoni put down a small hook-like thing, and explained to Qu Shaowen and them, "If the fire in the furnace is too strong, just dial this small piece of iron down, a set of fire can be smaller, and the fire can become bigger if you pull it up, if the charcoal fire is not enough, just ask the shop Xiaoer to change the charcoal fire." ”
She pointed to the small door in the base of the copper stove and said.
At this time, the red coals can be clearly seen inside, and the bottom of the pot has not yet rolled open, so the "door" is wide open.
Qu Shaowen nodded in understanding.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiaoni brought a large tray from the back kitchen.
This big tray is really big, bigger than an arm outstretched!
Yu Xiaoni didn't have any trouble holding it, there were at least ten plates on the tray, but she walked steadily through the lobby to Qu Shaowen's table near the corner.
Qu Shaowen couldn't help but frown when he saw Yu Xiaonier holding the big tray, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart when he saw her steadily placing the various plates and plates on their tables!
He is a literati, most of the time he spends his time in the house studying, and when he comes out to play, he also drinks tea and eats with a few friends, which is not enough physically, let alone walking around with such a big wooden tray like Yu Xiaoni.
This little girl is not tall, and she can't tell that she is quite big.
Han Haoyan looked at the plates that Yu Xiaoni put down, his eyes widened, and he said exaggeratedly, "My God, there are really green vegetables!" One by one, they looked like they had just been pulled out of the ground! ”
They ordered the No. 1 set, which had spinach, cabbage, and white radish.
These dishes are the most common, but they are common in spring and autumn, and not so much in winter.
Who can eat such a dish?
It may be that only the emperor in the palace can transport it all the way from the far south, barely keeping it fresh.
It's like this, the spinach is green, the cabbage is also tender and tender, the white radish is washed, cut into thick slices, and placed neatly on the plate one by one, and a layer of green leafy vegetables that is not like cabbage is laid underneath!
This freshness stunned Qu Shaowen and the three of them!
Hearing Han Haoyan's words, Yu Xiaoni laughed, "This guest officer is right, it is indeed just pulled out of the ground, if you don't believe it, go to the back kitchen to take a look, there are still a lot of dishes piled up with sticky soil." ”
Zhang Fengyi was amazed, "Today I have a long experience, I can really eat vegetables in winter, we thought it was a pretense for Keyun to fight, this is true!" ”
He looked at Yu Xiaoni and asked with a strong desire for knowledge, "Dare to ask how you did it?" Where do you get such fresh vegetables? But from the south? ”
After he asked, before Xiao Ni could answer, he shook his head and rejected his guess, "No, no, it's a long way from the south, even if it's really from the south, the food will definitely not be so fresh." ”
Yu Xiaoni smiled proudly and said, "We bought these vegetables from a hot spring village in the suburbs, the hot spring village is like spring all year round, and it couldn't be easier to grow some vegetables."
If you are interested, I will give you an address, and you can send someone there to have a look, and buy some vegetables for your own home. ”
"In winter, what we usually eat is some fish and meat, and if you want to come to the family, you must also want to eat green vegetables, change the taste, in the season when you can eat green vegetables, we don't want to look at it more, but in winter, we always eat those meats and get hot, and we must think about the crisp and refreshing green vegetables."
This is better than Yu Xiaoni, don't look at the opening today, but those guests except for the hot pot at the beginning asked for a set meal, and then when they ordered separately, they all asked for green vegetables, and the meat was much less than green vegetables.
The guests rushed to eat, afraid that the greens would be gone, and the greens were in short supply.
But what Yu Xiaoni is most afraid of is this, her mother grows a lot of vegetables, not to mention a guest cloud, even her second brother Jinfeng Lou's vegetable supply is covered by them!
Seeing Yu Xiaoni talking eloquently, exuding a confident glow on her body, and smiling generously, Qu Shaowen shook his head somehow.
He had never seen such a woman, not as many other women as she was, but she was even more capable and unpretentious, just like the heroic chivalrous woman she said in the book!
Yu Xiaoni didn't notice Qu Shaowen's eyes, and introduced to the three of them how to eat, how long each dish should be soaked, and showed them the way to the small food table, and then left to turn to the next table of guests.
When Han Haoyan said it, he couldn't help but take chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wings and put it in the pot.
It was a fat and thin piece of pork belly, sandwiched on long chopsticks, and placed in the pot full of red oil that he first took a fancy to.
After waiting for a few breaths, Han Haoyan picked up the chopsticks and looked at it, the meat had become curly, there was no blood on the meat, and the fat had become clear.
But Han Haoyan always felt unfamiliar, so he boiled it in the copper pot for a while, but when he picked it up again, he did feel a little old.
The next time he eats it, he strictly follows what Yu Xiaoni has taught, and only cooks it for a moment.
Han Haoyan took out the meat slices on the chopsticks, this time he saw that the color was cooked, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the meat slices were crisp and tender, not firewood at all, and retained the fragrance of the meat, and the spicy and fresh fragrance at the bottom of the hot pot filled the entire mouth, making the taste of the meat more wanton!
Han Haoyan ate two bites in a row, and then he took the bowl and went to the self-service seasoning area.
He didn't know which one was delicious and which one was not, so he casually mixed some in a bowl, returned to the table and stirred it with chopsticks.
I soaked the meat again according to the method just now, wrapped it in a thick seasoning and sent it into my mouth!
Now the taste is richer, the unknown sauce has a particularly mellow taste, and there are some things in it that should be crushed peanuts, chewing back and forth in the mouth, and bursting out another layer of aroma!
It does not compete with the taste of the meat, but sets off each other and makes the aroma to the extreme!
Qu Shaowen and Zhang Fengyi also went to adjust the bowl, they didn't know anything like Han Haoran, so they picked up some of everything and put it in the bowl.
Following Han Haoran's example, he stirred it with chopsticks, and then used the chopsticks to pick up the dishes they wanted to eat in the copper stove and boiled them.
Finally, when they ate it wrapped in a sauce bowl, the stimulation that they had never felt before spread all over their limbs, making them feel a sense of satisfaction from their hearts!
