"What is this?" Yan Lizhou asked curiously, looking at the self-heating hot pot on the stone table.
Chen Xun, who spread a thick soft cushion on the stone bench, stuffed her hands into a hand warmer. After hearing Yan Lizhou's question, she replied, "This is called self-heating hot pot."
"Self-heating hot pot?" Yan Lizhou was surprised when he heard this, "Can it heat itself?"
"Probably." Chen Xun explained the principle of self-heating hot pot. She didn't know if it could be made with the current technology, but she knew the principle.
Yan Lizhou's eyes were filled with excitement as he listened. He didn't expect that quicklime powder could be used in this way. After being processed in this way, it could actually heat food by itself.
"These foods are cooked in advance and then stored. The heating pack heats them all so that you can eat hot food," said Chen Xun.
"How long does it take to heat it up?" Yan Lizhou asked.
"A quarter of an hour." Chen Xun said.
Yan Lizhou is really interested in self-heating hot pot. He has lived in Northern Xinjiang for many years and has a deep understanding of the harsh environment in Northern Xinjiang.
When soldiers are stationed at the border, it is more difficult to eat fresh and hot food when patrolling the border fortress. The main reason is that it is difficult to make a fire.
During the war, they also wanted to have hot food.
But after Chen Xun's explanation, Yan Lizhou also understood that it would be difficult to supply large quantities of self-heating hot pot to the border areas, and it would not be possible for everyone to eat it regularly.
"If you want to buy it, I don't have such a large amount here." Chen Yu said in advance. Although there are a lot of supplies in her space supermarket, there are really not many self-heating hot pots. She can take out dozens of boxes.
, hundreds of boxes are considered too many.
Her space supermarket is only refreshed once every 120 hours. It is impossible to get enough self-heating hot pot to supply the frontier soldiers.
Yan Lizhou looked at his princess with a smile and said, "Since the princess knows the principle of heating this self-heating hot pot, can she do it?"
"If we build our own workshop, can we supply it to the frontier warriors?"
Chen Xun thought for a while and said uncertainly, "I'm not sure about this, I've never done it before."
"If you want to make this self-heating hot pot, I can give you the recipe and you can research it yourself. However, I plan to sell some at the grocery store. If you figure out how to make this self-heating hot pot, you can increase production.
, please don’t steal business from me.”
Yan Lizhou asked with a smile, "Princess, are you really willing to give me the recipe?"
"I can invest in technology. I'll give you the recipe and you sign a contract. If you make money, you'll give me dividends." Chen Xun said, "I definitely don't have the manpower, material resources and connections to do research, but I should be able to do it if I ask you.
come out."
For example, the quicklime powder, activated carbon, iron powder, aluminum powder, salt, etc. in the heating bag of the self-heating hot pot are not things that she can get in large quantities now.
Therefore, it is better to leave it to Yan Lizhou, the emperor's son. When the time comes, he will supply a large amount to the frontier warriors and he will not necessarily steal her business, which is also good.
The most important thing is that her space really can't produce that many self-heating hot pots now.
"Okay." Yan Lizhou nodded in agreement, this matter would be good for him.
"I'll give it to you when I get back home." Chen Xun is too lazy to figure out how to make self-heating hot pot. Of course, she can't provide spicy self-heating hot pot to Yan Lizhou in large quantities now. After all, there is no chili in the Yong Dynasty.
Although Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Dogwood are also very spicy, they are still inferior to peppers. The most important thing is that the yield of Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Dogwood is not that high.
While the self-heating hotpot was heating up, Chen Xun looked at the others and asked the guard just now to bring her box. When she opened it, she actually took out food from the space supermarket.
Chen Xun took out several packages of instant noodles, the kind that come in bags. She counted the number of people and then took out ten packages of instant noodles. Instead of taking out the classic braised beef flavor, she took out mushroom stew.
Chicken flavored instant noodles.
"Servant Ning, take these packets of noodles and cook them. You can eat some later." Chen Xun handed the instant noodles to Ning Dong and said, then she also took the braised eggs and sausages and handed them to him, "Sausages and braised eggs."
We can cook together."
"Thank you, Princess." Ning Dong glanced at Yan Lizhou and took the instant noodles after his permission. He took away the boiling kettle and made tea for his prince. Then he put another small pot on it to boil water for noodles.
"You can't eat spicy food, can you eat this noodle?" Chen Xun looked at Yan Lizhou and asked.
"Okay." Yan Lizhou nodded.
Chen Yun took out another pack of tiger skin chicken feet from the box. She handed it directly to Yan Lizhou and said, "Here, you can try this. I specially prepared the braised flavor, not spicy, you can eat it."
Yan Lizhou looked at the words "tiger skin chicken feet" on the oil paper bag and the picture of tiger skin chicken feet printed on it, and remembered the news he had received before. His princess liked to eat boneless chicken feet and tiger skin.
Chicken feet, together with her brother, in order to eat more chicken feet, they added several more ways to eat chicken.
Because the chickens were sold more by making various delicacies, there were enough chicken feet left over, and then they were made into boneless chicken feet and tiger skin chicken feet that their siblings liked to eat.
Yan Lizhou didn't think chicken feet were cheap. During his years as a soldier, he endured almost the same hardships as the young soldiers, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with chicken feet.
The most important thing is that the tiger skin chicken feet look delicious, not tasteless.
Yan Lizhou opened the package, took a pair of chopsticks and took out the tiger skin claws. He looked at the dark brown tiger skin chicken feet that were stewed very deliciously, and smelled the smell. It felt very fragrant.
Yan Lizhou took a bite. He liked the soft texture and mellow taste of the tiger skin chicken feet. It was very tasty, soft and delicious.
"How's it going? Chicken feet are delicious, right?" Chen Yu said proudly. She didn't mind at all how others said she enjoyed eating chicken feet. The chicken feet were so delicious, why would she not eat them just to save face?
"Well, it tastes very good." Yan Lizhou nodded. This tiger skin chicken feet is really fragrant and moderately salty, making people want to eat it.
Chen Xun took another pack of tiger skin chicken feet and gave it to Ning Dong and others. They definitely couldn't enjoy a half-pound pack of tiger skin chicken feet like Yan Lizhou, and she didn't plan to give it to them.
so many.
After sharing the tiger skin chicken feet, Chen Xun's self-heating hotpot has also been heated, and it is no longer steaming like it was just now.
The hot water mist on the small hole became almost non-existent, so if you open it like this, you won't get burned, so Chen Xun opened the lid of the self-heating hot pot at this time,
After opening the lid, an overbearing spicy smell hit her nostrils, and Chen Xun couldn't help but salivate. She swallowed, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the beef cubes.
The food in her space supermarket is of very good quality, and the food in the self-heating hot pot is of course also very rich. The beef cubes are really the same size as fermented bean curd. They are stewed very soft but still retain some texture. It is delicious.
It smells very fragrant.
The braised beef and braised mutton were both delicious. Chen Xun took a bite of the lotus root slices and bamboo shoot slices, both of which were very delicious.
Yan Lizhou looked at Chen Xun who was eating with gusto and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He never thought that he would also be greedy for other people's food one day, but he had to admit that the taste of this self-heating hot pot was really impressive.
Spicy and spicy, it’s really tempting at this time.
