If you want any kind of hot pot to be delicious, the most important thing is the soup. If the soup is good, the hot pot will naturally be attractive.
The reason why chrysanthemum hot pot can be called China's five hot pots together with Xichuan spicy hot pot, Guangdong seafood hot pot, Lushan beef hot pot and Kyoto mutton hot pot is that the soup naturally has its own uniqueness.
Different from the other four kinds of hot pot, the soup of chrysanthemum hot pot is divided into two types, namely clear soup and milk soup. Different soups are used to make the base in different seasons, so the taste in the mouth will naturally be different.
The clear soup is light and fragrant, suitable for consumption in warm weather, while the milk soup is rich and rich, suitable for cold weather.
The base soup that Ye Fei is going to use today is clear soup. He has made this kind of soup before. The most representative one is boiled cabbage soup. It is a typical clear soup, and it is the best among clear soups.
This time, Ye Fei once again made this top-quality clear soup, but the ingredients used were not top-quality ingredients. Even so, the soup was light, elegant, and fragrant.
After the soup was boiled, Rhodes had already prepared three hot pots, mainly because there were so many people and there were not enough pots.
Ye Fei poured the base soup into three pots respectively, pouring about half of the pot into each pot. In fact, he was afraid that it would dry up and there would be no more soup to add, otherwise he would not add so much (normally half a pot) Soup, add more if any is missing).
At this time, Solova's group of people all murmured after seeing the clear soup that Ye Fei poured into the pot.
"Is this soup?"
"Isn't this guy trying to trick us? Is there such a clear soup?"
"This is water."
"No, when I saw him making it just now, he obviously put so many ingredients into it, including chicken, big bones, duck and ham. These ingredients contain a lot of fat. If they are cooked, The soup should be turbid."
"Don't ask me, I don't understand either. Chinese cuisine does have its own unique features. Maybe this is one of their secrets."
At this time, Romondio finally found another opportunity to show off, because he had watched Ye Fei's live video and had not missed the episode of making boiled cabbage. He knew what was going on with the soup.
"Don't you understand this? This is the soup made by Ye Fei. No, no, strictly speaking, it can't be called soup, but called soup. That's what the Chinese call it. You saw him pouring it into the soup. It's okay to put chicken, duck and big bones and ham, and the fat in these ingredients is indeed cooked out, but didn't you pay attention to the chicken and pork mince he added at the end? That kind of thing is specifically designed to remove these things from the soup. Of grease and impurities.”
Take a look, people who have watched Ye Fei's live broadcast are different. They are almost half-Chinese.
It's just that it's okay if this guy doesn't explain, but once he explains, others will be even more confused.
"Mondeo, that's not right. If all the fat is sucked out, then there will be nothing in the soup. Is this any different from boiled water?"
"Of course, haven't you noticed that this soup is light brown in color? Even though there is no oil star in it, the taste of these ingredients has been completely integrated into the soup. It is full of all the ingredients. It’s the essence of those ingredients just now, I rub it, I really want to drink it.”
This guy's final explanation was unclear, and others were confused when they heard it.
But at this time, they were not in the mood to discuss this. Instead, they were all staring at the soup in the three pots.
"Ye Shen, is it okay?"
After asking someone to bring down the three pots of soup, Rhodes came to Ye Fei and asked.
He is really enduring it now. It can be said that he is the most uncomfortable person on the scene, because he is the only one who has been a live broadcast guest at Ye Fei's place, and also ate a lot of delicious food. Of course he knows this pot of soup made by Ye Fei What level is it? Even though he uses ordinary ingredients, Ye Fei has the skills and ability to turn decay into magic.
Didn't you see that just after the big pot of soup was made, the whole spacious kitchen was already filled with aroma
Although the aroma is not as good as that made by Ye Fei using the best ingredients, it is something they have never smelled before, so they really want to start eating it earlier, otherwise they will be starved to death.
Ye Fei smiled and said: "Hot pot is not enough with a soup base. You should know that you need some other vegetables to eat it. Besides, the hot pot we make is called chrysanthemum hot pot. How can it be called chrysanthemum without chrysanthemums?" Where’s the hot pot?”
When he talked about chrysanthemums, Ye Fei suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no chrysanthemums here, and his head felt a little numb. Damn it, I forgot something after all.
"Ahem, Mr. Rhodes, can you help me get some chrysanthemums?"
Rhodes: "."
"Chrysanthemum? Real chrysanthemum?"
Ye Fei: "."
Damn it, what kind of chrysanthemum could it be if it wasn’t a real chrysanthemum? Brother, can you please stop thinking so wildly
Seeing Ye Fei's speechless face, Rhodes coughed quickly and said, "No, Ye Shen, don't get me wrong. I mean, is it the common chrysanthemum? Isn't there a special edible chrysanthemum?"
"It's that kind of chrysanthemum. It's urgently needed now. As you can see, we don't have it here."
"Okay, just wait a moment."
After saying that, Rhodes ran out. Not long after, he saw the guy coming back, with two people behind him carrying a large frame.
Ye Fei almost vomited blood when he saw the things in the basket. Yes, there were chrysanthemums in the basket, but there were too many.
We are going to eat chrysanthemum hot pot, but I didn’t say whether chrysanthemum should be the staple food? You make so much by yourself, how about feeding the cows? You are too honest.
"Ahem, Mr. Rhodes, we don't need so much of this." Ye Fei said dumbfounded.
Rhodes said: "It's okay. I was afraid that you wouldn't have enough, so I asked them to pick more."
"Picked some more? Are they here?"
"Look what you said, if there aren't even chrysanthemums here, what's the point? There is a garden at the back with all kinds of flowers, all cultivated using high technology, and many of them are open all year round. "
Ye Fei sweated and thought it was great to have money. Even this thing can be changed. This is not like a plastic greenhouse where you can grow off-season flowers or vegetables. This is high-tech cultivation and can be used all year round. See, this is kind of awesome.
Now Ye Fei even suspects that the Rothschild family is not only a giant in the financial industry, but also a giant in the high-tech industry.
But these are not what he cares about, he just makes a few chrysanthemum hotpots.
Picking up a white chrysanthemum, he put it under his nose and smelled it. A faint fragrance unique to chrysanthemum rushed into his nostrils. Ye Fei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good."
He picked out a total of nine flowers for use. To be honest, this is quite a lot. If you don't want to eat chrysanthemums, you can actually put one in each pot. After all, the petals of each chrysanthemum are There are so many of them that once you put them in a pot, it becomes a big pot.
Seeing that Ye Fei only used nine chrysanthemums, Rhodes asked: "Is this really edible?"
Ye Fei rinsed the flowers under the tap and said with a smile: "Of course you can eat it. In China, chrysanthemums are also called Nuhua, Jinying, Taoju, and Shouju. You should be able to understand something from these names, especially It is longevity chrysanthemum. Cai Zhe, the younger brother of Cai Dongpo, the great Chinese writer, once wrote two poems, saying that the white chrysanthemum in Nanyang has miraculous effects. There are many old people living on the lake, which means they often drink chrysanthemum tea and eat food made from chrysanthemums. It can play a role in prolonging life, which is mainly related to the nutritional content of chrysanthemums, amino acids, vitamins, inulin, flavonoids and various minerals. These things are needed by the human body, especially flavonoids, for The human body has miraculous effects in antioxidants and anti-aging. In addition, chrysanthemum is also a medicinal herb, which has a very good therapeutic effect on coronary heart disease, hypertension and arteriosclerosis. Tell me, it is so good, can you eat it?"
Rhodes stared at Ye Fei dumbfounded, then looked down at a large basket of chrysanthemums, and suddenly said: "Put it away, put it in the freezer, and keep it well. I will eat more than twenty chrysanthemums every day from now on." .”
Ye Fei: "."
"No need, no matter what it is, the right amount is the best, too much is not enough, and eating too much is not necessarily good. After all, it is also a medicinal material, which is three-part poison, so just soak it in boiling water every day. Or you can dry it and grind it into powder to make chrysanthemum cake, chrysanthemum porridge, chrysanthemum cake, chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum pork liver soup, etc. You don’t need to eat it directly.”
"Can you make so many good things?"
"Of course, didn't you say? Chrysanthemum is a good thing."
"Khan, Ye Shen, don't say that, I always think wrongly."
"Fuck, make hot pot, make hot pot."
"Yes, yes, make hot pot, make hot pot."
Ye Fei stopped talking to Rhodes and found that sometimes this guy didn't look like the future successor of a big family at all, but more like a second-rate shortage.
Ye Fei took off the petals from the washed chrysanthemums and put them on three large plates.
Then there are the other ingredients. Chrysanthemum hot pot must have mutton, which is a unique enjoyment when cooked. Green vegetables, preferably spinach, cabbage and lettuce, and tofu are the best soy products. There must be fish.
When Ye Fei said he needed fish, he felt a little pained. Logically speaking, carp fillets are the best fish in this hot pot, so a problem arises. Americans don’t eat carp, and this kind of fish is an exotic species. In the past, Americans didn’t even eat carp. Just not.
Later, in order to control the flooding of algae in the lakes, carp were introduced from Asia, and then the Americans began to control the carp again. Yes, the carp, which had no natural enemies, overflowed in the United States. It was tempting to drive a boat in front of the lake and swarm behind it. The carp forming a group began to come out to dance.
So Ye Fei wanted to use carp, which was really not available in the Rothschild family. In the end, Rhode personally brought a fish to Ye Fei.
I saw that this fish was about 50 to 60 centimeters long. It was round and very strong. It had extremely small scales. If you didn’t look closely, it didn’t seem to be there. Its tail looked like a crescent moon, and there were small yellow fins on its body.
Seeing the characteristics of this fish, Ye Fei almost fell to the ground. He pointed at the fish and said a little bit crazy: "Mr. Rhodes, are you sure you want to use this fish to make hot pot?"
Rhodes said matter-of-factly: "I'm sure, we don't have the kind of carp you mentioned."
"Then do you know what kind of fish this is?"
"Isn't this bluefin tuna?"
"Ah, you know it's bluefin tuna? Do you know you use it to make hot pot?"
"Isn't there no fish?"
"."
Ye Fei was completely speechless by Rhodes. Others said that he was a prodigal son. Now it seems that this Rhodes is not willing to give in too much. This girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Bluefin tuna, bro.
Although Ye Fei doesn't know how much the bluefin tuna in the system sells, he knows that these ordinary bluefin tuna are not cheap, especially some of the top-quality bluefin tuna. Even if you have money, there is no place to buy them. In the auction, it will be given to whoever bids the highest price.
According to incomplete statistics, the Dongri Kingdom once auctioned a bluefin tuna at a sky-high price, which cost about 1.8 million yuan. If converted into Chinese currency, it would be 10 million less.
Although the bluefin tuna that Rhodes took wasn't worth that much, it wasn't cheap either.
When he thought about eating chrysanthemum hot pot with bluefin tuna, Ye Fei felt that he was a little confused for someone who was used to seeing the most expensive ingredients.
Damn, you are so capable of doing this.
But looking back, it’s okay to think that this bluefin tuna is lucky to be able to make hot pot.
