Throughout the afternoon, I was busy with hot pot.
The stove for this hot pot, as well as the rest of the utensils, were all ready in the short afternoon. The hot pot stove created is the standard mandarin duck pot of later generations. A yin and yang line divides the pot into two halves. One side is the bottom of the red pot, and the other side is the clear soup pot made from bone broth.
In the bottom of the red oil pot, there are many spices, made from lard, hot and fragrant. The bottom of a pot of clear soup, even if there is no chili sauce, is bright red and translucent, with a strong fragrance.
This hot pot is placed on a charcoal basin.
The charcoal basin is smaller than the stove.
The stove of the hot pot is placed on it to ensure that the coal stones are always burning.
Burning charcoal, dispelling the chill, and boiling the bottom of the pot again. As the hot steam came out, the bottom of the red pot in the hot pot, as well as the bottom of the bone soup, boiled.
On the side, there are many dishes prepared.
There are duck intestines, goose intestines, beef, lamb, pork belly, some offal such as sheep tripe and tripe, and some other fresh vegetables. These vegetables are all grown in greenhouses. In fact, there have been greenhouses in ancient times to ensure that we can eat off-season vegetables.
However, this can only be eaten by noble families, and it is impossible for ordinary people to eat it. In addition to these meats, etc., there are many other meat dishes.
Pots are placed one by one.
Today's weather is extremely cold and snowy, so I don't worry about the dishes being spoiled at all. On the contrary, in this cold weather, the quality of these dishes is guaranteed to be excellent.
everything's ready.
The oil dish that Du Qi used himself was a spicy oil dish, which contained fried peanuts, fried peas, etc. These condiments, together with cornel sauce, etc., were already very fragrant.
Du Qi looked at Jin Wuque, Liu Jian, and Mo Ledo who were not far away, and ordered: "Come on, come on, sit down. It's not fun to eat hot pot alone. It's refreshing to eat with more people. You guys After a busy afternoon, I sat down to eat."
Jin Wuque, Liu Jian and Mo Ledu followed suit.
It's just the three of us together, and we're a little overwhelmed. After all, it's our first time to eat hot pot, so we're not very familiar with it.
Du Qi picked up a piece of beef and boiled it in a red pot. Beef is not easy to get in Tang Dynasty. After all, cattle are very important, so the beef in restaurants is extremely rare.
The beef is boiled in a boiling red pot, and after a while, it is picked up, rolled twice in the oil dish, and enters the mouth. The spicy, smooth and tender taste is completely released in the taste buds.
In the cold weather, the beef is more comfortable when it enters the mouth, and the whole body is warm.
Cool!
Du Qi clicked his tongue twice.
He asked someone to warm up a pot of good wine, then picked up two pieces of goose intestines and put them in the red pot to boil. The goose intestines rolled up a few times and quickly rolled up. Du Qi dipped the oil dish and ate it quickly.
Goose intestines are not only delicious, but also crispy.
This kind of taste is even more amazing.
Du Qi saw that Jin Wuque, Liu Jian, and Mo Le were not moving much, and greeted him: "Eat quickly! Eat whatever you are sitting and doing, don't be shy, there is no status at this dinner table, just feel free to eat."
After Jin Wuque and the other three heard the words, they stopped restraining themselves and ate the meat with chopsticks.
The four of them are together, very happy.
However, the tastes of Jin Wuque, Liu Jian, and Moredo are not as heavy as Du Qi, and tend to be light. The oil dishes of the three people did not have dogwood sauce, nor did they use red pots, which lacked spicy flavor, and they were mainly clear soup pots.
Du Qi didn't care about it, and just cooked meat by himself.
While eating, Jin Wuque praised: "Sir, the taste of this hot pot is really amazing. This kind of hot pot is still not suitable for restaurants. But hot pot has its own branch. My plan is to serve it in restaurants. Not far away, a store is specially selected to open a hot pot restaurant, which specializes in selling this hot pot."
Du Qidao: "No problem, you can figure it out. In short, you are the chief shopkeeper in charge of catering. I will leave it to you to open the store, and you can just do it without any scruples."
"yes!"
Jin answered without a flaw.
He was drinking wine and eating meat, but his mind was spinning rapidly. He had to think carefully about this matter, and he couldn't make mistakes.
"Young master!"
At this moment, Zhong Laoba entered.
Zhong Laoba's face was tense, and he seemed a little panicked. When he entered the room, he saw Du Qi and the others sitting around the stove and eating hot pot, their noses moved twice, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The smell is a little fragrant!
what is thiswhat?
It stands to reason that Zhong Laoba is the captain of security in the restaurant, especially now that he has been promoted to be the shopkeeper in charge of security, and he has eaten all the dishes in the restaurant. He has tasted all kinds of dishes, and he is also a person who has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas.
Now seeing this hot pot, I feel strange.
Although Zhong Laoba was a little curious, he recovered immediately, and said: "Young Master, Your Majesty is here. Now, you have arrived in the restaurant and come to the backyard. You should hurry up and get ready to pick you up."
Hearing this, Du Qi also stood up.
He smelled the smell on his body, because the smell of hot pot was pervasive, the clothes on his body smelled of hot pot, and even the room was filled with this smell.
It is impossible to change clothes nowadays.
After thinking for a while, Du Qi recovered, and ordered: "You stay here. Next, I will go to meet His Majesty. What's the matter?"
"yes!"
Jin Wuque, Liu Jian, and Moredo all answered together.
However, the three of them put down the chopsticks in their hands, stopped talking for the time being, and also stood up, after all, their identities were different. When there are no outsiders, they can sit and eat with Du Qi, but now that the emperor is here, they have to abide by the rules.
Du Qi walked out of the room, and as soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw Li Yuan bringing Xiao Li. This time, only Li Yuan and Xiao Li came, and Du Qi stepped forward and bowed his hands: "Minister Du Qi, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Du Qi, today I'm going to visit in micro-clothes. I walked outside your restaurant and wanted to take a look. Unexpectedly, I heard that you were there."
Du Qidao: "Although your majesty says that spring and autumn are at their peak, you should avoid going out in cold weather. After all, it's freezing cold outside, and it's too cold outside."
Li Yuan said: "With your down jacket on, it's not cold. I came out today to take a look. The people read the Datang Daily, what kind of situation is it? How interesting!"
Li Yuan came out for a private interview on Weibo, just to hear what the people said about Wang Zongzhou.
What he heard was very interesting.
When Li Yuan was about to continue talking, his nose suddenly moved twice, and he said, "Erlang, what is the smell on your body?"
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, the boy is developing new dishes. After all, the weather is cold and the business of the restaurant has been affected. I am trying it now, and the taste is not bad."
Li Yuan showed a smile on his face, and said: "It's so good, I came to the restaurant now to prepare for dinner. You are eating, and I will eat here."
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, please!"
Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded, then walked forward.
Du Qi followed closely behind, and came to the hall with Li Yuan. Now that the charcoal is burning, the red pot and the clear soup pot are steaming and tumbling continuously. The dishes on each plate are neatly arranged.
Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, please!"
Li Yuan sat down straight.
At this time, Du Qi did it himself, prepared the oil dish for Li Yuan, and then told Li Yuan how to eat, and finally said: "Your Majesty, it is interesting to eat hot pot yourself. Come on, try it, and make sure it is comfortable to eat. But Your Majesty eats light food every day, you are suitable to eat clear soup pot, and your stomach may not be able to bear it if you eat red pot."
"OK, no problem!"
Li Yuan picked up a piece of beef and rinsed it in the pot. Because sitting next to the stove, the heat filled the air. Under such circumstances, Li Yuan also took off his coat.
Xiao Li didn't try it.
Because it involves Du Qi's dishes, Xiao Li has never tried them.
When Du Qi saw Xiao Li, he thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Director Xiao has worked very hard all this way, and he is probably hungry. Why don't you ask Jin Wuque, Liu Jian, and Mo Le to accompany Director Xiao more and stay aside?" eat?"
Li Yuan ate a piece of beef, especially eating hot pot with a dish of oil. It tasted very good, and his body was warm. Li Yuan felt very comfortable. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can arrange it. When you come to the restaurant, you are the shopkeeper, and you arrange everything."
"yes!"
Du Qi nodded at Jin Wuhuai, and said, "Master Jin, prepare another pot at the side."
"yes!"
Jin Wuque responded immediately.
Although Xiao Li's throat was throbbing, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Mr. Du County, no need."
He had a good impression of Du Qi.
Even though Xiao Li was an eunuch, Du Qi never treated Xiao Li with contempt or flattery. He was just a friend of gentlemen. Such a standard impressed Xiao Li very well.
Du Qidao: "Director Xiao, when you come to my place, don't be polite, just eat. Your Majesty is here, and I will serve you well." He waved his hand, and Jin Wuque, Liu Jian, and Mo Ledu went down to prepare. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The impression is very good.
