Chapter 701: Preparations Before Hot Pot

The next day, Xiao Nianzhi asked for leave to rest.

During the day, Xiao Qing was still studying and in class, and Xiao Nianzhi was not ready to bother.

It's about preparing the right ingredients, work, and so on.

Xiao Nianzhi sent someone to ask Xiao Qing yesterday, what does he want to eat?

I don't know if it's because the weather is getting colder and colder, or Xiao Qing doesn't want to toss himself, for fear of getting tired, so he ordered the hot pot.

Since it's eating hot pot, there are a lot of things to pay attention to.

For example, how many people did they eat together at the end?

Is it a pot, or is it separated?

The best is naturally the nine-square grid, with all kinds of flavors, and everyone can eat whichever one they want.

Moreover, when I was in Guozijian, although there was no one to serve, the habit of eating made everyone subconsciously use chopsticks.

Unless the relationship is particularly good, there is rarely one person who grabs the rice in another person's bowl.

Therefore, the nine-square grid is fine, and there is no need for a small hot pot.

Moreover, today's conditions are limited, and if you really prepare a single small hot pot, then fuel is also a problem.

Even though the charcoal fire is sufficient, it is also troublesome to toss.

Moreover, the small pot also needs to be customized.

Xiao Nianzhi has it in his hand now, but there are not many of them, and when the number of people is not certain, it is indeed not enough.

After thinking about it, Xiao Nianzhi decided to take Jiugongge with her, just in case, she was going to bring two.

Xiao Nianzhi felt that as long as their family ate, plus a few classmates who knew each other, it was estimated that there would be no more than eight people.

Xiao Qing is young, this kind of birthday was originally a family gathering to eat, and there was no need for a special event.

Therefore, he did not flamboyantly call many people together.

Xiao Nianzhi was also afraid that there would be too many people temporarily, and he would not be well prepared.

It's like Xiao Zhou was ...... last time

There were more people who ate at the end than Xiao Nianzhi expected.

Fortunately, she prepared a lot of dishes at that time, which was enough for everyone to eat.

However, this time it's hot pot, and the allure of the food is actually quite good.

It didn't taste like it and didn't have much flavor.

However, when the charcoal fire is lit, various flavors in the pot will float up.

Xiao Nianzhi was thinking about the possible number of people in his heart, and at the same time took people to buy ingredients.

Yan Liangxuan followed.

After the queen mother entered the winter, her health was indeed not very good.

However, sometimes good and sometimes bad, it has been holding on.

It's not like the queen, who fell ill quietly, and then decayed rapidly.

Yan Xingxuan entered the palace several times to serve the sick, but the Queen Mother thought he was in the way, and the Queen Mother also wanted to recuperate and didn't want others to disturb her.

Therefore, Yan Xingxuan entered the palace later, and after saying hello, he was driven away by the Queen Mother.

He went to greet the Queen Mother yesterday, and he didn't go over today.

Two people, one on horseback and the other in a carriage, walking on the streets of the late autumn in the capital, feeling the cold feeling of winter, Xiao Nianzhi uncomfortably lifted the curtain and asked, "Is it cold, do you want to come in?"

Yan Dexuan wears a lot, although he is very concerned about food, but he is also relatively strict with his body management.

probably didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the first emperor, the emperor and King Kang, and become a big fat man.

Therefore, even if he is greedy, Yan Xingxuan has always controlled it.

The body has always been quite thin, even if there are many bags, it does not look bloated.

At this time, when he heard Xiao Nianzhi ask him, he hurriedly shook his head: "It's not cold, close it quickly, there is wind outside, and it hurts to blow your face."

This year, the winter in the capital seems to have come earlier.

Now it is at the junction of late autumn and early winter, but the streets of the capital already have a cold feeling.

I feel that as soon as the wind blows, it gives people the illusion that they need to add clothes.

Listening to Yan Xingxuan say that it was not cold, Xiao Nianzhi could only temporarily press his heart

Think.

The two of them went with the purchase, and there were many things, but in fact, they couldn't buy fresh ones in the city.

It's better to go outside the city.

Yan Xingxuan has already asked Zhuangzi to kill pigs, and I heard that today he was eating hot pot, and he asked people to kill a sheep.

Aunt Yu also prepared a lot of rabbits.

In the summer, Aunt Yu had a whim and raised a lot.

As a result, the reproduction speed of this thing directly shocked Aunt Yu.

In the past, she would also let the people under her raise her, but she didn't really observe it up close.

Then, Aunt Yu was scared!

Because there are too many of them, Aunt Yu doesn't know too many people.

Therefore, in addition to sending some to Xiao Nianzhi, she sent the rest to Guozijian.

She is here to make a profit, after all, there is too much of it, and she wants to get it away as soon as possible and let it become a dish.

Otherwise, it's too edible and too raw to be born!

Help, when I go back to Zhuangzi, I feel that Zhuangzi is full of white, gray, and brown rabbits.

It feels like you're surrounded by an army of rabbits.

So, sell it, eat it!

Today, Aunt Yu also asked people to prepare four.

After Xiao Nianzhi heard about it, he repeatedly said that he couldn't finish eating.

As a result, Aunt Yu said: I don't listen, I don't listen!

Four have already given face.

This is also his own apprentice, if someone comes over, Aunt Yu can directly kill forty.

Just look at this number to know how amazing the number of rabbits on her Zhuangzi's side is!

The simple shopping in the city is mainly to buy some spices and go back.

Most of the purchases are outside the city.

All kinds of meat are fresh, and if you kill them on your side, you don't need to worry.

I went to the outside of the city to get some fresh milk, picked some mushrooms and the like, and then went to Shanglin Yuan to buy some green vegetables inside.

Seeing that the amount of purchases was almost over, Xiao Nianzhi returned to the city.

On the way back, I stopped by a sugar water shop and ordered a cake.

When the second brother was the first brother, he had a double layer.

When I came to Xiao Zhou, after all, he was a younger brother, so no matter what, he had to be pampered.

So, it's also double-layered.

Fortunately, the craftsmanship of the masters is quite good.

A variety of design inspirations are emerging.

They have even developed a variety of powered egg beaters.

Foot-stomped, hand-cranked, and even bellows-driven.

Because of these helps, it is no longer difficult to whip cream and egg whites.

Therefore, the sugar water shop can also take a lot of cake business a day.

However, compared to the electric one, it is actually quite labor-intensive.

Therefore, if you want to take a lot of orders, it will definitely not work.

Moreover, making cakes requires creativity, time and thought.

I do too much in one day, and the master can't keep it busy.

However, Xiao Nianzhi said hello in advance.

When she passed, the masters were already preparing.

Scholars like all kinds of noble things.

Or bamboo, or pine, or plum, or something like that.

It was bamboo that sent Xiao Zhou before, and Xiao Nianzhi thought of the third brother here......

It's no exception.

The pattern is still bamboo, but it has been improved a little bit, with a little playfulness.

Xiao is light, he is still young, and he can be a little more lively.
