Chapter 718 Duan Hongxuan makes hot pot for everyone
Entering winter, the days are getting shorter and shorter, and the weather is getting colder. Minister Lu and his wife came to the small courtyard. Duan Hongxuan planned to cook a hot pot for lunch. Minister Lu is from Sichuan and likes Sichuan cuisine. The hot pot is also from Sichuan.
I think it should satisfy Minister Lu.
He Yuyu and others gathered next to Aunt Luo. Duan Hongxuan and Secretary Wang chatted with Minister Lu. After chatting for a while, they saw that the time was almost eleven o'clock. Duan Hongxuan stood up and said: "Uncle Lu, Brother Wang, please sit down first."
, I have to go cook!
Aunt Luo, I'm going to cook for you, Jingru, come on, help me!"
Qin Jingru had never seen hot pot eaten this way. When she was helping Duan Hongxuan in the kitchen, she was curious about what Duan Hongxuan was going to do for lunch, because the dishes Duan Hongxuan asked her to prepare were very strange, and they didn't look like they were going to be fried.
Qin Jingru asked Duan Hongxuan curiously: "Brother Hongxuan, what are you doing for lunch?"
"Hot pot!" Duan Hongxuan's answer was concise and concise!
"Hot pot?" Qin Jingru had never heard of it at all, "What is hot pot?"
Duan Hongxuan was stunned, "You don't even know about hot pot, right?"
Later, Duan Hongxuan realized that it was only the 1960s and many people in the city probably didn't know what hot pot was. Qin Jingru came from the countryside, so she certainly didn't know!
Duan Hongxuan explained: "I took you to eat hotpot mutton last time, do you still remember?"
Very slowly, each one of them could take a breath, stick out their tongue, and suck in cold air, but the tachyon outside the hand had to stop!
Brother Qin Jingru made the hot pot at noon. The vegetables under the table were stir-fried. Can they be eaten outside the hot pot?
Everyone came to the dining room, and when they came back, Xiaojia was not even a little confused. What was going on? Why was the table full of lettuce? Was there a frying kitchen, so it was temporarily placed in the dining room?
"He, he thinks so much about hot pot!
Duan Hongxuan was so dizzy that he stuck out his tongue and said, "It's so troublesome! How do you have to separate the soup base and the pot base!"
Then you stir-fry the pot ingredients!"
With Zhang Zhenyun's knife skills, even with or without thermal freezing equipment, the beef and mutton were cut into evenly thin slices very quickly!
Well, go and see how the herbal tea you made to dispel fire is. If it's broken, take it inside and let it air for a while and it will cool down!
Just like that, the two big girls were so spicy that they stuck out their tongues, but they were also sweating and had no relish!
Oh? Looking at their expressions, I’m afraid they’ve all had hot pot before!
Upon hearing this, He Yuyu and Yu Haitang quickly nodded in agreement. He Yuyu swallowed the dish in several mouthfuls, sucked on his tongue and said: "If you can do this to Aunt Hongluo, how can he give such a bad hot pot in the future?"
You guys do it? We used to have hot pot for dinner every day!"
Very slowly, all kinds of condiments, bowls and dishes were placed on the table, and all the dishes were served. Then, Qin Jingru brought a small charcoal hot pot to the table, and a small pot of fried spicy hot pot.
The fragrance comes out as soon as the base is put on. Everyone sniffed involuntarily and couldn't stop salivating! It's so fragrant!
Qin Jingru nodded and smiled inexplicably: "Yes, did he watch you go out to the cellar to get something?"
You first boil a pot of clear chicken soup, which will be the soup base for today's hot pot.
Zhang Zhenyun was sweating after eating, her handsome face was flushed, and she raised her head and said: "Aunt Hongluo, he is wrong, hot pot is very delicious, you really wish you could have one every day.
Yes, the hot pot we are going to make today belongs to Sichuan cuisine. It tastes spicy, and besides the meat, there are even fewer vegetables!
Then, Qin Jingru added clear chicken soup to the outside of the pot, and then taught everyone how to make their own seasoning bowls.
Then he turned on the fire and prepared to stir-fry the hot pot base, "Jingru, come on, put your hands on first, and come over to see how you stir-fry the hot pot base!"
After a while, you fry the pot base and let him see how complicated it can be! The ingredients and stir-frying of the pot base determine whether the hot pot is delicious or not!
Sichuan and Sichuan have a small basin climate, the air is humid, and the humidity is very low seven seasons a year. Generally speaking, people living in such a low humidity are very difficult to get some diseases such as rheumatism. The invention of hot pot is very similar to
Food supplements, that kind of spicy and cold food, do not help the locals fight against the dry climate and help us get rid of moisture in the body!
But the hot pot depends on the bottom of the pot, and there are very few dishes to choose from. But the key to the taste of hot pot lies in the bottom of the pot!
Zhang Zhenyun became even more excited when he heard this, and the movements of his hands slowed down a bit, "No wonder he asked you to cut those potatoes and lotus vegetables so thin, and cut them into such small pieces!
"Yeah, remember, it's quite delicious!" Qin Jingru nodded, and couldn't help but recall the hot-boiled mutton she ate last time. Although the food at Duan Hongxuan's house was quite bad now, when she thought of the taste of hot-boiled mutton, she could not help but think of the hot-boiled mutton.
The secretion of saliva has ended again!
Minister Lu suddenly said in surprise: "Hot pot? The hot pot prepared by Hongxuan? Hahaha, that guy is really awesome. He dares to pat his chest and say that you are satisfied with that meal. It turns out to be hot pot!"
Duan Hongxuan's eyes lit up after hearing Qin Jingru's explanation, "Really Hong Zhangzhen? Like shabu-shabu mutton, you eat the vegetables outside the pot? This must taste as bad as the mutton-shabu, right?"
Everyone in their family eats it!”
Therefore, our country’s diet is extensive and profound, and there is little emphasis on the outside. It is just about eating to satisfy the appetite. The outside has nothing to do with the climate, humanities, etc. of the place. It has no deep health principles. We
Our ancestors were so stupid!
At least pay attention to adding soup to the outside of the pot from time to time, just don’t boil it dry!”
Qin Jingru said with a smile: "Brother Xuan, hot pot is not like that. You can eat quickly while chatting. Even if we eat from now until dawn, we will have nothing to do!"
Dadang and Huahua, the seasonings Qin Jingru prepared for us were a bit bland, and each of you was given a bowl filled with cold water, so that we could rinse the scalded vegetables a little outside the bowl. Is that so?
It's spicy. After all, I'm an older child and I've eaten hot pot before. If you eat such spicy hot pot, Qin Jingru will be worried about your gastrointestinal irritation!
When Duan Hongxuan heard this, he quickly dropped what he was doing and stood beside Qin Jingru with great interest, learning from Qin Jingru how to fry the hot pot base!
After half an hour of busy work, the hot pot base was fried, but Duan Hongxuan was tossing it so much that it was really choked. Although the base did smell spicy, fragrant and refreshing, the dry chili peppers were fried as soon as they were finished.
While waiting for the condiments, the spiciness made Duan Hongxuan cough repeatedly, with mucus and tears coming out of his nose, and Qin Jingru burst into laughter!
Brother Xuan also enjoyed the meal very much. While picking up the dishes he hated and rinsing them, and helping the two girls beside him to pick up the dishes, he praised Qin Jingru: "Today's hot pot meal was really wrong. On a hot day, you
I think that way of eating is bad because I’m afraid the food will get cold, so I can eat it as long as I want!”
When Duan Hongxuan saw the things in Qin Jingru's hand, he felt dizzy and said in surprise: "Aunt Hongluo, he took those out from the cellar?"
"Bad, bad, bad, it was your mistake that time. You forgot to tell him. It was the same last time!"
"But why did he bring it over when it was raw? He didn't ask you guys to come over for dinner yet, but the vegetables were all fried, so he called you over!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Brother Xuan also laughed and said: "Actually, it's okay to eat one meal a day. It's less troublesome than cooking! The key is to pick whatever vegetables you want to eat and boil them. It's so satisfying!"
After I taught everyone how to mix the condiment bowls and the hot pot was boiling, Qin Jingru sat on the table and said to Minister Lu: "Uncle Lu, please give me a try first!"
When Qin Jingru saw Zhang Zhenyun's greedy look, she laughed and said: "Hot pot and mutton-shabu are not similar at all. They are both cooked with lettuce outside the pot!"
You're just afraid that today's hot pot meal will be over. In the past, he, Yuyu Haitang and the others were clamoring for hot pot every day!"
Hmm! Just like the hotpot mutton we eat next time!"
At that time, Hongxuan came back with two plates of tofu skin. He Yuyu quickly grabbed Duan Hongxuan and asked, "Jingru, what's on his plate?"
"Oh! You have also forgotten that there are too few things in the whole day and you remember it too clearly. You can probably do this for a few days!
When Qin Jingru returned to the kitchen, she had a piece of beef and mutton in her hand, as well as a piece of butter and dried chili waiting for other seasonings.
Minister Lu laughed and said: "Hahaha, bad, just give them a try!"
When the time comes, there will be blisters under his tongue, which will be so painful that he can’t eat anything, and he may even get acne on his mouth and face!
It seems that making hot pot is also difficult. Once you learn how to make it, if it really tastes bad, you will cook it for Xiaojia before!"
"Hahaha, I can only say that they are different, but I guarantee that he will hate it!
Duan Hongxuan nodded in confusion, "Oh! This may be because you have paid attention! It's Aunt Hongluo. If he put something outside the cellar in the past, could he tell you? If you know, you can always go there
What should I do if I take out the food and put it away?"
I believe he will go up and see for himself now. There is no beef or mutton yet, so you just cut two big pieces!" Qin Jingru said casually.
Hahaha, they are not going to have a good time today. Hot pot is just right for hot weather!" Seeing how excited Minister Lu was, everyone could not help but look forward to the hot pot.
After finishing a bite of beef, Minister Lu raised his little thumb: "Yeah! It's wrong, the beef is wrong, but his hot pot base is absolutely amazing, it tastes so bad!
Qin Jingru put the chicken soup on the stove and started it, then said to Duan Hongxuan: "Go to the cellar to get something!"
"Ah?" Duan Hongxuan was completely confused, "But do you remember that there is no meat outside the cellar? Don't we have beef and mutton outside the cellar? There is no butter. When did he put it out?"
But we in the north have such a bad climate. If we eat less hot pot, it will become dry and dry, and it will be difficult to reduce the heat!
When everyone saw it, they all stretched their hands towards the beef and mutton. Qin Jingru got up and picked up some other vegetables and put some out of the pot!
If we were in Sichuan and Sichuan, people are used to eating spicy food, so eating hot pot regularly would be of no use, but us northerners would be fine, it would be difficult to get angry!
Jingru, you don’t have to eat hot pot without a dipping saucer. Well, since that big guy Hongxuan has made hot pot, I must know about the dipping sauce!
As Duan Hongxuan came to the door of the living room and shouted, the little people and children all got up and washed their hands and prepared to eat. Minister Lu said cheerfully: "You want to see what bad food Hongxuan has prepared for you at noon. You have to be bad."
Find fault with me!"
The main feature of mutton-shabu-shabu is not mutton, but there are few dishes that can be cooked in hot pot. You forget that he has never eaten hot pot. Once he tastes it, he will know it, and I am sure he will hate it!
The main thing to eat for mutton-shabu-shabu is not the mutton. The most important thing is the selection of mutton ingredients and the ingredients of the seasoning plate. What is really in the bottom of the pot? You can also just boil it with water. As long as the meat is spoiled, you will still enjoy eating it!
And now that the weather is getting colder, there are fewer of us, so the cooking can be cool even if there are less fried dishes, so hot pot is the most suitable thing to eat in winter, because you are afraid of the cold, and you can eat it as long as you want!"
"Huh!" Finally the lake was over, Zhang Zhenyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then finished processing the beef and mutton.
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of beef, put it out of the pot and blanched it, then put it back into his own big bowl, dipped it in and threw it out of his mouth.
"Ah? That's tofu skin. Aunt Hongluo said it's tofu skin!"
Zhang Zhenyun smiled: "If I really knew how to do it, it would actually be troublesome, but it would be better than cooking!
When we eat hot pot in the north, herbal tea is a perfect match. It may not help us with the internal heat, but it is also a way to maintain health!" "It's time to eat!"
Then you haven’t eaten it in the past few years. I wonder, your gluttony has been aroused!
Qin Jingru shook her head thoughtfully and said: "Brother Xuan, although hot pot is bad, you can still eat it every day. If you have hot pot every day, you will get angry for a few days!
There are so few of us, so we have to fry a few dishes when cooking. But for hot pot, you only need to stir-fry the base ingredients and make the soup. Preparing the dishes for stir-fry is more complicated, just wash them and chop them!"
Brother Xuan said angrily: "It's wrong to eat without anything. He comes here empty-handed to eat and drink for free and wants to find fault with Hongxuan? With Hongxuan's cooking skills, you think it's not worse than the imperial chef of the State Guesthouse, then
A bad cook cooks for him, but he still picks and chooses!"
Duan Hongxuan looked at the table full of lettuce and suddenly laughed, "Giggle! Yu Yu, it turns out he has also eaten hot pot!"
