Xie Xun first put all kinds of balls into the pot, and then began to put the internal organs that were not easy to cook. The bubbling soup was flattened, and the layer of red oil floating on the surface was slightly restless.
The tip of the nose is full of spicy and fragrant breath, which makes people feel uncomfortable, and the base of everyone's tongue secretes saliva, which is in urgent need of this hot and dry hot pot.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the ingredients to be cooked. This time was obviously not long, but it was extremely difficult.
The prince first opened his mouth to break the unbearable silence: "Bo Yuan, these meatballs are placed in the soup at will, won't they taste strange?"
Xie Xun was also eating hot pot for the first time, so who knows how it tastes. However, he has eaten lo-mei, Malatang, Malaxiang pot, etc. cooked together. He knows that when the right ingredients are cooked together, not only will it not channel the taste, but it will be stained with the aroma of other ingredients.
He said: "Of course not, His Royal Highness will know after tasting it."
The prince was itchy because of what he said. It just so happened that the soup base was reopened at this time, and it started to bubble again. Bai Zhi stepped forward and said: "The madam said that you can cook some easy-to-cook ingredients at this time, such as mutton rolls, fat beef rolls, and more. There are duck intestines, loin slices, etc.”
When serving dishes, the maids deliberately put together the ingredients that are easy to cook and cannot be overcooked according to Jiang Shuyao's instructions, so as not to be blinded by a group of people staring at the table full of ingredients.
They can't recognize the internal organs such as duck intestines, county livers, loin slices, and hairy belly, but they can still recognize mutton rolls and fat beef rolls.
The prince moved the chopsticks first, and everyone followed.
The mutton rolls were cut very thinly, and after they were clamped and placed in the pot, the color changed in a few seconds.
It was the first time for a group of people to cook the pot by themselves, fresh and dazed.
"Is it okay to eat?" Lin Cheng had a thicker skin and asked everyone's thoughts.
The little cook standing next to her looked at the color of the mutton rolls and nodded. Although she was afraid of these adults, she remained calm: "If you go back to the adults, it's alright, and it will be old if you cook it again."
As soon as the words fell, everyone retracted the chopsticks in a neat and uniform "swish".
Then there is the difficulty, which dish to dip into.
There are dry dishes, oil dishes, and sesame sauce dishes.
One second before putting the mutton roll into the mouth, everyone did not have too high an opinion on the taste of the mutton roll.
Because it really looks very simple, a simple pot, no complicated methods and attention, all kinds of side dishes are served together, and the meat has to be done by yourself. Although it smells wonderfully fragrant, the taste may be average- Then they put lamb rolls in their mouths.
So fragrant! So delicious!
How can the mutton rolls be so tender, so fresh, and there is no smell of mutton. I don't know how this soup base is made. The spicy smell is full of complex spices, and the aroma is soaked in the mutton roll. When I chew it, the rich spicy and spicy taste on the tip of the tongue arouses a heat wave, which instantly rushes to the scalp.
The dry dish is mixed with sesame noodles, crushed peanuts, chili noodles and pepper noodles. When you eat it, you can clearly feel the graininess on the surface of the mutton rolls.
Let’s talk about the oil dish, put the mutton rolls inside, wrap it up, stir up the garlic to consume the oil, mixed with the parsley and minced green onion on the surface, the rich aroma of the sesame oil instantly makes the taste buds tremble, and the mutton is more tender and tender after being dipped in the sesame oil. Yes, but it is a bit chewy. When you bite, the sweet and smooth sesame oil emerges from the meat, which is called a delicious infusion.
The sesame sauce is much stronger than the first two dipping dishes. The mutton rolls are immediately submerged in the thick sesame sauce. After lifting, a thick layer of sesame sauce hangs. , put it in your mouth, it's cool.
Of course, it was sesame sauce that was cold. When the tongue was taken lightly, the sesame sauce on the outer layer melted, and the hot mutton rolls came out. The numbness and spicyness were all suppressed by the mellow and sweet taste of sesame sauce, and everything became fresh. Fragrant accompaniment.
It was so amazing that everyone had no time to recall which joint created such a delicious taste. They moved their chopsticks and put the mutton rolls into the pot.
What are they talking about at this time, they would not want to experience the unbearable taste of waiting for the meat slices to be fully cooked by taking a few more slices and throwing them into the soup.
Watching the meat turn from tender red to light brown, a group of people couldn't wait to pick it up in the bowl.
Put three bowls of dishes a little bit, just enough to cool down, and gobble the mouth together.
The chopsticks were fighting in the pot, and as soon as they started eating, everyone dropped their demeanor.
"Hey, this is my meat!"
"What about the meat I put? Who picked it?"
"Empty plate? I ate four plates and it was empty."
Lin Cheng showed a smug smile on the side, hehe, I haven't seen the world before, so we all went to fight for that plate of meat, but no one grabbed the baby.
When the maid served the dishes, he focused on the duck intestines and goose intestines. Since the duck blood vermicelli soup met, he could never forget its deliciousness. Everyone knows how dirty the internal organs are, how can the real delicacy be dusted with pearls because of their origin.
Lin Cheng clamped his dream intestines, "seven up and eight down" in the pot according to Bai Zhi's introduction. In the midst of the commotion, he was like an old monk entering the meditation, and he was full of duck intestines. He counted to eight and took it back. Chopsticks.
Dip it into the sesame oil dish, the red oil floats up, picks up the long and thin duck intestines, bites it down, and feels a very small and very clear crisp sound of "cha", Lin Cheng is satisfied.
It was the crispy and delicious duck intestines he was thinking about. The duck intestines are wrapped in a layer of sesame oil, which is smooth, tender and oily. It tastes crisp and delicious. It is so long that Lin Cheng is reluctant to bite it and chew it into pieces. All of it is stuffed into his mouth. burst.
One, two, three... Every time he raised his hand high, the posture of rinsing duck intestines was also strange, which quickly attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Lin Wenrao, what are you eating?" someone asked.
Lin Cheng sighed silently in his heart, with these gluttons, he couldn't enjoy duck intestines alone after all.
"Duck intestines."
"Duck... intestines?" The listener's face showed a strange look, "But the intestines of the internal organs?"
Lin Cheng's subordinates were like a gust of wind, emphasizing: "Yes, internal organs, internal organs, dirty internal organs."
Some people hesitated, but some people saw Lin Cheng's stingy and mixed heart, and immediately picked up a duck intestine with chopsticks.
After a try, all prejudices and dislikes were forgotten, and they all followed Lin Cheng to scald duck intestines up and down the side of the pot rhythmically, counting "five, six, seven, eight" in his mouth.
The duck intestines were swept away, and everyone no longer hesitated in the face of the remaining internal organs.
The hairy belly should be dipped in sesame oil, and the small thorns on the surface can be felt at the entrance. Crispy and refreshing, very chewy, you can feel the umami and spicy oil and gas coming out of your teeth every time you chew.
The loin slices can't be cooked for a long time. After passing through the pot, take them out when they see that they have shrunk. The taste is tender and smooth, with a slight insensitivity to the bite. The unique aroma of the waist slice is very strong, and it is suppressed by the spicy taste. It is so delicious that it seems that it is eaten without much chewing.
At this time, the meatballs and meat dishes that need to be cooked for a long time are all ready, and various side dishes are floating in the pot, making noises, and the heat is constantly pouring.
Because he was afraid that this group of people would not be able to eat it, Jiang Shuyao didn't put too much oil, and the spicy taste of the base was also very light, and Chinese herbal medicines were added to reduce fire and enhance the taste, so it was not too exciting to eat.
So when everyone ate the spicy beef, they were all dumbfounded.
The hot and spicy taste came from the tip of the tongue, and the whole body seemed to be ignited. It was hot, numb, spicy, and fresh. The layer of chili noodles wrapped on the surface of the beef made the freshness of the beef extremely pure, and the spicy beef was extremely tender and chewy. There is gravy, and after one piece is eaten, everyone is very stupid and "ha" angry.
The hotter the summer is, the more we need this kind of fragrant and delicious food to save. The long-suppressed boredom is vented along the spicy and stimulating taste. Everyone is sweating and passionate, and there is no trouble or worry. Now, there is only the delicious taste on the tip of the tongue, and I really want to shout "Cool!".
The prince's face was flushed from eating, how could he have the prestige of being a prince, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the maid, "Is there any wine? Serve with wine!"
The officials next to them were not much better. They rolled up their sleeves all the time. They used all the precious silk and satin to wipe their sweat. It is neat and does not delay the speed of grabbing vegetables.
The maid nodded and left, and went back to the small kitchen to find Jiang Shuyao.
Jiang Shuyao had just finished dinner, and after hearing what the maid said, she could imagine the group of men eating in full swing without looking at it. She asked, "Prince said you want to drink?"
The maid respectfully responded.
I thought Jiang Shuyao was going to order her to get the wine immediately, but she heard Jiang Shuyao spit out two words decisively: "No."
The maid was so surprised that she forgot the rules and looked up at Jiang Shuyao.
Jiang Shuyao stretched and said, "Go back and tell me that I'm out of wine here." You can also hear the noise of clamoring for vegetables over the courtyard wall. At first glance, this group of people seems to be eating haise. If she drinks again, in case her stomach gets irritated and something goes wrong with her food, wouldn't she have to take the blame.
"Let's have a few pots of herbal tea." She added, "Oh, by the way, there is still sour plum soup in the well, so let's take it too."
So when the maid came back, the prince and all the officials were very disappointed.
"Bo Yuan, when I return to the palace, I will definitely reward you with some good wine." It's too pitiful, there is no wine in the house.
"I also have good wine at home. I'll have the servants bring it when I return to the manor."
"It should be that Bo Yuan is more selective. My grandfather has a few jars of fine wine in his collection, and I will ask for it to give you."
Everyone was chattering, and they all said they wanted to send wine.
Xie Xun guessed Jiang Shuyao's thoughts, but did not explain them, and answered them one by one. It happened that Jiang's loves to drink, and she must be very happy with good wine.
No wine, sour plum soup and herbal tea are also ok.
After drinking a warm and cool drink, the irritable and hot stomach suddenly subsided, and the light coolness quenched the heat and dryness. "
At the beginning, everyone still paid attention to some rules and etiquette, and barely maintained their demeanor. Now the table is in a mess, and the chopsticks are called fast and accurate, for fear of being cut off by others.
There is not enough to eat at all, and the prince frequently asks: "Is there no beef? Let's have another plate!"
"Why are there no fish balls, are there any more? Ah, no more? If you want your wife to make another plate, just one plate."
"Okay okay, what about the fish fillets? There are always fish fillets, right?"
Silly people are still struggling with the exhaustion of meat dishes, but smart people already know that it is time to start with vegetarian dishes.
I have added broth several times before, and there is not much chili oil, so I won't be too tired to eat vegetarian dishes at this time.
There are common vegetarian dishes on the table, such as lotus root slices, kelp, oyster mushrooms, etc. There are also a variety of vegetarian dishes that have never been seen before.
With previous experience, everyone immediately chose the plate that they had never seen before and did not know.
The oiled tofu is round and round, and the outer shell is golden and crispy. If you throw it into the pot, it will half sink after a while. At this time, take it out and roll it in the sesame sauce dish, bite off the tough outer skin, and a hot and fragrant soup immediately splashes out from the inside.
The eater was not ready, and hurriedly shrank the tip of his tongue and pressed the oily tofu back into the sesame sauce. Now that the oiled tofu is cold, it is wrapped in sesame sauce again. When it is put into the mouth again, the soft and tender tofu is more comfortable to chew on the inside.
The gluten is a little more oily. It has many pores like a sponge, which fully absorbs the soup. It is heavy when picked up. After a little bit of cooling, the soup and hot oil rise straight out, soft and gluten, and the soup is rich.
I ate a long dinner, and when the sun went down, the lights in the courtyard gradually stopped.
Everyone was dizzy after eating, and they were drunk without alcohol. There was steam all over their face and head, and their whole body was smooth. If it wasn't for eating too much, they really wanted to stand up and hop around in the courtyard to express their comfort. Cool.
At this time, there is no manner to speak of, everyone fell on the back of the chair in unison, and felt the bulging belly.
Whether it is a noble prince, a pampered son of a noble nobleman, or a noble and restrained descendant of a generational civil servant, three thoughts slowly pop up in his mind:
—Who am I and where am I
- Will I still be able to eat this delicious food in the future, how can I justifiably and shamelessly rub my face again
—Can you take the bottom of the pot and the sour plum soup with you later
After the third thought came up, everyone who had been paralyzed by Ge You just sat up straight and stared at the competitor with bad eyes.
Due to his noble status, the prince could not pack the bottom of the pot and leftovers, and was kicked out in advance, and the rest had to show their skills.
"Bo Yuan, my brother is a glutton. Why don't you give me this soup, I'll go back and let him cook some dishes to taste."
"I thought so too, but I brought it back to my parents to taste. Don't look at their age, but they are still as greedy as children, hahaha."
"Hey, we thought of being together. I want to bring it back to my mother to taste. Bo Yuan, my mother and your mother came from the Liu family in Yangzhou."
The competition is getting fiercer, and it's time to start climbing!
Lin Cheng took the lead in attacking: "Bo Yuan, my grandfather didn't have any hobbies since he became an official, and he liked to search for some delicious food. It's the same as before. Do you remember? When he gave us lessons, there was always a cake in front of him."
Seeing that he was about to lose, someone caught the point. How could kissing Xie Xun compare to kissing his wife.
"Speaking of which, your wife's craftsmanship, Bo Yuan, is really wonderful. She deserves to be the daughter of the Lin family. She is as smart as her mother who is good at business. Eh, when I say this, I just remembered that your wife's mother and my third aunt are cousins. ah!"
"Tsk, you can remind me that Mrs. Bo Yuan and the fourth daughter-in-law of my aunt's family are from the Lin family. If you think about it carefully, it seems that they are cousins."
A group of people were chattering, making Xie Xun dizzy. He was about to stop when he heard a confident interjection.
"Bo Yuan, your wife is my cousin!"
Everyone in the "Talk Fighting Heroes" turned their heads to look at the prince.
"Her mother and Concubine Lin are close sisters. In this way, she is almost my cousin."
Crowd: ? ?
almost? Too bad! Concubine Lin is your concubine, okay? Does the three words "pro-cousin" really speak for themselves
The prince looked at everyone's resentful and jealous eyes, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face: "Cousin's cooking skills are amazing!"
