Ice and snow.
snowy.
The interior was warm with the kang burning, forming a stark contrast with the outside.
In this extremely cold weather, if you want to eat something iced, you don’t need a refrigerator. Take it out and put it in the snow for a while, and it will be iced when you get it back.
The owner of the homestay has a box of frozen pears in stock. Anyone who wants to eat them can go to him and get them for a fee.
There are also yogurt and ice cream, but it is rare that there are no frozen pears. This season is considered to be rare.
Fruits and vegetables are rare here. There are a lot of blueberries, but they are basically the same as raisins.
It was getting dark outside, so it was time for dinner.
The boss heard that Meng Xiaoni and the others opened a hot pot restaurant, so he immediately brought out his own hot pot, and warmly invited them to eat the most famous hot pot in Mohe - sauerkraut and white meat hot pot.
Meng Xiaoni considered that her group was really special and picky about eating, so she offered to help the boss handle the ingredients.
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
The boss couldn't hold her back, so he could only let her handle it.
"Basically every household here makes sauerkraut. It is expensive to transport the vegetables, and it can be stored for a longer time in cold weather, but it is not so easy to store. The pork is even fresher, and some families even eat wild boar. , that taste is absolutely perfect." The boss was muttering on the side.
The people here in Mohe seem to be so familiar and enthusiastic.
Following the boss's instructions, Meng Xiaoni cut the pork belly into thin slices.
In the past, Meng Xiaoni could only be regarded as a "beginner" when she divided it. She just officially touched the pot after graduation, so I would like to thank that the hot pot is basically a problem of feeding, regardless of knife skills.
Meng Xiaoni is different now, a whole piece of pork belly is in her hands, and the slices are the same as those sliced by a machine, with even thickness.
Sauerkraut is not the same as meat.
When cutting vegetables, raw meat and vegetables should be separated into two cutting boards.
Meng Xiaoni cut sauerkraut into strips on another cutting board.
The owner of the homestay was quite emotional: "Hey, as expected of the owner of the store. We just tore it up with our hands."
The folk customs are quite simple.
Meng Xiaoni laughed: "It's another taste to tear it up by hand."
The homestay owner nodded in agreement.
The vermicelli should be soaked in water for a while before eating. When Meng Xiaoni was chopping vegetables just now, the boss had already soaked the vermicelli in water, and now it is just right to take it out.
Without bothering Meng Xiaoni to do it again, the boss took out the chicken soup he had prepared.
"At noon, I ate stewed chicken with mushrooms. The chicken soup was boiled a little longer, so I just poured it into the hot pot!"
Meng Xiaoni: "..."
Why does chicken stew with mushrooms produce more chicken soup
Meng Xiaoni still didn't expect this kind of operation.
The owner of the homestay puts the vermicelli into the bottom of the hot pot first, and then spreads strips of sauerkraut, sliced pork belly pork, frozen tofu from the stock, fish balls, and beef balls on top in order, and then adds Add pepper, aniseed, salt, and finally pour chicken broth.
The hot pot burns charcoal, which can be heated quickly after being ordered and added to the furnace.
It's not boiled yet, and the richness of the pot alone is very attractive.
The owner of the homestay took out the sauces from his own home and lined them up on the table. He told Meng Xiaoni enthusiastically, "Hey, you can adjust the ingredients yourself. We have different tastes here."
Meng Xiaoni saw a can of fermented bean curd and a can of sesame paste, and immediately understood that the difference was really different.
It’s not that no one in Fengdu eats fermented bean curd, it’s just that the ones who add fermented bean curd to the hot pot are still a niche group.
Xiao Bailong has already moved to the table.
Xiaolu was a little troubled, he only ate vegetarian, so he couldn't touch this pot.
Meng Xiaoni saw that Xiaolu's face was full of distress: "Boss, we have a child who is only vegetarian, so I'll order you a bowl of noodles, or some soup and rice?"
The boss gave up the stove: "Ah, whatever you want. You can order with me what you want to buy, and I can buy it tomorrow."
It's not impossible to be vegetarian, it's just more expensive.
Meng Xiaoni responded, and first went to find a way to solve Xiaolu's food problem.
The chicken soup in the sauerkraut and white meat hot pot boils quickly due to heating. This chicken soup looks light yellow and clear, but it smells very fragrant. Before eating meat with chopsticks, you can't help but think about whether to use a spoon to taste the soup first.
For this kind of hot pot, the soup is the key point at first glance.
There is also a lot of meat and quick-frozen food on the side of the pot, so you can do it yourself if you want to eat it again.
Qin Lingjun sat down and waited quietly, his eyes fixed on the pot, waiting for the white meat to be cooked.
The same is true for ghosts and phoenixes on the side.
He has two children to take care of, and his attention to detail has been extreme lately. Seeing a layer of foam forming on the top of the hot pot, he took the initiative to take a large spoon and skim off the foam.
This is really very considerate.
Sauerkraut hot pot cooks quickly after the soup boils.
Because the white meat was cut into thin slices, it didn't take long for it to enter the mouth. Sauerkraut is edible. The vermicelli are placed at the bottom and soaked again, so they can be eaten within a few minutes.
Only the subsequent quick-frozen additions need to be cooked for a few minutes longer.
But it's all right. After all, there is an order in eating, one part can be eaten first, and then the other part can be eaten.
When Meng Xiaoni ordered Xiaolu a bowl of noodles and came back, she saw that Guifeng, Qin Lingjun and Xiaobailong had already made their hands on the hot pot.
The original fragrant chicken soup, after adding a lot of ingredients, the fragrance is a bit richer, making Meng Xiaoni, who has been eating very ordinary these days, feel really hungry.
She sat next to Guifeng and took a bite of the pork belly that Guifeng tried to put into the bowl for her.
The pork belly without dipping sauce is a bit bland, but because the fat is just right, the skin and meat are preserved, and it is full of elasticity in the mouth, and the taste is quite good.
She took the initiative to pick up a piece of frozen tofu.
The magical existence of frozen tofu is like the bean curd in a spicy hot pot. It can absorb a lot of soup and add the aroma of its own bean products. When you take a bite, the tip of your tongue is tingling, which is almost amazing.
After all, this soup base is really delicious.
The frozen tofu really fully interprets the deliciousness of this soup base, and also embellishes the taste twice with itself.
Meng Xiaoni tasted such a piece, and she knew why such hot pot is so popular here in Mohe.
It is really full of texture after one bite, and the warm soup can go down the esophagus directly, warming the whole stomach.
In the cold winter, who would not want a mouthful of hot soup
Especially this bowl of hot soup is extremely delicious and fragrant.
Meng Xiaoni adjusted the sauce for herself, and according to her own taste, she actively joined the food grabbing team.
She knew this group of people very well, if they slowed down a little, what would be left to her would be an empty pot.
In just half an hour, two rounds of ingredients had to be added to this small hot pot, and the boss had to cut some more pork belly, for fear that they would not eat enough.
At the end of the day, we were full of wine and food, and it was still early, and it was indeed completely dark outside.
The boss cleaned up the hot pot on the table and looked at the satisfied residents: "It's not too late, you can go out and look at the stars. There is also a Christmas area not far away."
All the guides will mention the starry sky of Mohe.
It's so beautiful.
Meng Xiaoni responded immediately: "Okay."
