Chapter 13 Hot pot base
Chef Wang listened to Lin Wangshu's steps and began to fry the hot pot base, the goose that had been stewed before was fished out and chopped into pieces, and the thick oil red sauce began to stir-fry, Lin Wangshu looked at it for a moment and still felt that something was not quite right, she secretly pulled out a few red peppers from her sleeve, prepared to wash and cut them and threw them in.
"Miss, what is this?" The chef and the people around him were very surprised to see it, and they didn't know what it did.
"This one, it's called Chili. It is used for seasoning. Lin Wangshu washed the chili pepper and prepared to cut it into sections, Mrs. Li hurriedly rushed to help her, and didn't dare to let Lin Wangshu use the knife.
Lin Wangshu reluctantly handed the chili pepper to her, and as soon as the knife fell, he smelled the special irritating smell that belonged to the chili pepper.
"This chili pepper, why does it taste so strange?" Mrs. Li put the cut chili pepper on a plate and handed it to Lin Wangshu, feeling that her nose was a little itchy.
"Wait, there's something even more peculiar." She took the plate and poured all the chili peppers into the stir-fried pot, "Continue to fry until the fragrance comes out, and then you can get out of the pot." ”
There were some red segments in the pot that I had never seen before, and the chef kept moving, and soon, the fragrance of chili peppers was stimulated, and the kitchen was filled with a fragrant and choking smell.
"Ahem, cough, why does this chili pepper taste so spicy and choking."
Several people in the kitchen had never experienced the taste of chili peppers, and they were choked for a while.
Lin Wangshu almost burst into tears, who knows, the smell of chili peppers, she hasn't smelled chili peppers for more than a month.
A few people in the kitchen were choked, and even Chef Wang turned his back and coughed a few times, Chu Tao covered his handkerchief, and his little face was red. Lin Wangshu saw that it was almost fried, and poured half of the soup that had been stewed before into the pot, and the spicy taste was temporarily suppressed, and the group of people eased up.
There were tears in their eyes, and they only felt that their nasal passages were hot. As soon as the soup came out of the pot, he hurriedly ran out to catch his breath.
"Miss, can you still drink this soup? It smells too big. Chu Tao put down her handkerchief, looked at the pot of reddish-brown soup, and the corners of her mouth twitched for a moment, pulling Lin Wangshu and running outside.
Lin Wangshu was dragged outside by Chu Tao, and when he saw several people in the kitchen breathing the air outside, he couldn't help laughing.
"Miss, your chili pepper is so powerful, how can it be used as a seasoning for such choking." Mrs. Li remembered the spicy taste just now, as if she was going to sneeze a few more times.
Chef Wang eased up for a while, and sighed towards Lin Wangshu, "Miss, I'm afraid that today's lunch will be later, you go back first, I'll wait here to clean up." ”
Lin Wangshu looked at the pot of soup in the kitchen one by one, as if he was looking at a biological weapon, and he had no choice but to let them try it before they could know what kind of fairy the chili pepper was.
She stepped into the kitchen door and beckoned to a few people, "Come on, the smell is almost gone, you guys come in and try it." ”
Mrs. Li and the others were all frightened, looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to step in.
Under Lin Wangshu's death gaze, he still hesitated to enter the kitchen.
Most of the smell in the room had dispersed, and Lin Wangshu walked to the stove, and the soup that had been poured in had already boiled. She took a small bowl, scooped a spoonful and handed it to Chef Wang, and raised her eyebrows: "Chef Wang, you come first." ”
The chef took it, and everyone mourned in silence. He looked at this bowl of strangely colored soup, a little as if he was at home, sniffed it lightly, and found that the taste was not as choking as just now, and the tip of his nose was a little spicy in addition to the umami of duck soup.
It doesn't seem so strange.
"Drink." Lin Wangshu smiled at him.
Everyone watched as Chef Wang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and took a quick sip.
"How?" Mrs. Li didn't speak for a long time when she saw him.
When the shopkeeper drank the soup, he felt the taste buds on the tip of his tongue being stimulated for a moment, and the spicy and salty aroma of the soup went straight into his nose.
As soon as I took a bite, it seemed that my stomach was starting to get a little hot, what a magical taste!
Mrs. Li saw that Wang Zhang's kitchen didn't speak for a long time, as if she was still reminiscing about the taste of this soup. In the blink of an eye, I saw him bow his head and take a big sip until half a bowl of soup was drunk.
Lin Wangshu saw his reaction and knew that the pepper was put right, and asked him how he felt.
"This tastes very good." Chef Wang put down the bowl and looked at the pot of soup with a somewhat wrong expression, "Miss, where did you get this thing?" The smell is very choking, but the taste of the dish is really not ordinary, the taste is spicy, I just drank this soup, I feel that the whole person is warm. ”
The people around were surprised, could it be that this soup is really not that terrible? Lin Wangshu saw their doubts, and asked Chu Tao to fill some by himself, and everyone tasted it together.
"Oh, my wife has never tasted this before." Mrs. Li gave it a try, and her face was full of surprise.
Several other people also expressed their surprise, although the taste was different from usual, but they couldn't tell the top.
Lin Wangshu explained while watching them drink: "This chili pepper was given to me by the sister of the Li family when I went to the General's Mansion a few days ago, saying that it was a rare seasoning from the Western Regions, let me come back and try it, it tastes really good." ”
I'm sorry for the kite, I'll lend you one. Lin Wangshu was making up nonsense tightly, and the people around him didn't think much about it when they heard that it was something from the Western Regions. "No wonder I've never seen it, it turned out to be something from the Western Regions, so it's not strange."
"But Miss, I think this soup is a bit ugly to drink like this, do you want to add some water?" Chef Wang looked at the soup in the pot and asked, but saw Lin Wangshu shake his head.
"That's right." Everyone was stunned.
"Because this soup is not for drinking." Lin Wangshu smiled mysteriously at everyone.
Let them prepare a slightly larger stove and put it in the hall, and pour the boiled into half of the two pots, and half of the clear soup into the two mandarin duck pots.
"You carry this pot to the stove in the hall and set it up, and burn it over medium and low heat. This is only left for you, these dishes that have not yet been fried do not need to be fried, take half of each and put it in the hall, and you can call everyone to eat it together. Lin Wangshu left half of the dishes and handed them how to wash the vegetables.
Chef Wang was amazed again and again, and this novel way of eating was unheard of. Several people followed Lin Wangshu's movements and tasted the food, and they were addicted.
Lin Wangshu saw that the preparations were almost complete, and he didn't stay long, so he was ready to go to the vestibule to teach this big family to eat hot pot. A few people in the kitchen also called in the maidservant who was on duty outside, and they praised it again and again.
Li Kite got out of the carriage and waited at the door for the little girl to come in and report.
Lin Wangshu was handing them over the hot pot at this time, and Lin Qingfeng scalded a piece of beef according to her method, and he was surprised when he entered it. "Your way of eating is novel, how I taste this taste is a little different, the tip of the tongue is a little hot."
Second Uncle Lin scalded a dish for Jiang's, and Jiang's was surprised when she tried it, and several people immediately asked her what kind of flavor it was.
Lin Wangshu moved out of the original set of rhetoric that fooled the kitchen, and made up the origin of the chili pepper out of the blue. "If you want to talk about this chili, it was given to me by Sister Ah Kite last time, and she said it was ......."
"Master Qiyu, Miss Li Fu came over, saying that she was looking for our young lady." Before Lin Wangshu finished making up his words, someone came to report that Li Yuanyuan had come to look for her, she felt weak for a while, and hurriedly got up and said to everyone: "I'll go and see, you eat first." ”
"Why did you come here at this time, you ask her if she has lunch, if she hasn't eaten, let's use it with us." Lin Qingfeng watched Lin Wangshu hurriedly run outside and admonished her.
"Got it." Lin Wangshu didn't wave his head back, and ran to the door to see Li Iris standing in front of the door, with his hands in his sleeves, staring at the stone lion in front of the door.
