No. 10

Fu Tian’s cooking skills are at best elementary now. She can make ordinary home-cooked dishes, but if she wants to make delicious food to the highest level, she still has a long way to go.

So she thought of the hot pot she had eaten in town.

There are two soup bases.

She made the clear soup with star anise, rock sugar, onion, ginger and pork bones, and bought the red oil base ready-made.

Moreover, spring is cold, spring is cold, and the temperature drops immediately when night falls. At this time, eating a warm hot pot is not only convenient but also can warm people up immediately.

Fu Tian had planned to eat hotpot beforehand, so naturally she bought a lot of side dishes. Beef and mutton rolls were a must, as well as more than a dozen meat dishes such as meatballs, ham, egg dumplings, duck blood, and five or six vegetarian dishes such as corn, tofu, and potato chips.

Everything was prepared in advance, just the way you put it in the backpack and take it out.

Now they are all displayed at once, with a wide variety of products and a dazzling array of sights.

Then take a large bowl and add your favorite dipping sauce.

All done.

Firewood is also readily available by the lake.

Build a fire, put the iron pot on, watch the soup base start to gurgle and start to steam, and the rich aroma of the soup wafts out all at once.

My stomach is rumbling like a drum, it's definitely because I'm being tempted by food.

Look at the hot steam and the beautiful scenery, the atmosphere immediately becomes lively.

Fu Tian couldn't wait and put half of her favorite meat into the bottom of each pot.

The meat slices are cut very thinly and do not need to be cooked for a long time. Just roll it in the soup and it will be cooked immediately.

The large slices of beef and mutton are sandwiched together, then dipped in the dipping sauce and eaten directly. The satisfaction and the refreshing feeling are really indescribable.

The mouth is full of the aroma of meat, wrapped in the soup, occupying the entire taste buds.

Fu Tian was so moved by the delicious food that she almost cried.

So satisfying~

Fish balls and meatballs take longer to cook, then add some shrimp paste or something. In addition, add some mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, etc. As long as you see the pot is full of your favorite food, the sense of happiness is beyond words.

Not to mention the juicy meatballs, the chewy shrimp balls, and even the vegetables are refreshing and appetizing.

The aroma of the hot pot drifted and drifted along the coast in an instant.

It attracted everyone to watch.

"Wow, what smells so good?"

“It looks like meat.”

“Who’s eating delicious food behind everyone’s back?”

"Are you planning to kill someone this late at night?"

Even the group of people squatting near Fu Tian couldn't help but suggest to Tang Ji: "Boss, Duxiu is eating so happily by himself, why don't we go over and join in the fun."

"Hotpot is all about the atmosphere. It's lively when everyone is together. Otherwise, it's lonely when you're alone."

If this guy hadn't drooled while speaking, it would have been more convincing.

Tang Ji glanced at him, then couldn't help but turn his gaze to Fu Tian.

I saw that the other person was sweating profusely and his lips were red. It was obvious that he was spicy because of the red oil in the pot.

But even so, she still stuffed it into her mouth, which shows how delicious it is.

I'm a little moved.

Who could blame the other person for eating so deliciously that even the roast duck he stuffed in his backpack felt tasteless.

It is better to act than to think. Tang Ji stood up and walked towards the other party. The younger brothers behind him wanted to catch up, but they received a message.

【Leading the trend: I will go alone. 】

He sighed twice, and began to direct his brothers to find something to cook.

Even if there is no soup base, it is still good to cook some hot dishes.

They completely forgot that the backpack had a timer function, so whatever food they put in came out the same way. And they all bought hot food.

Leaving his fellow fishermen behind, Tang Ji soon reached the spot where Fu Tian had placed the bait. He sat down naturally and said, "Oh, there are also crab sticks. I like them."

Fu Tian paused while eating and turned to look.

His face was full of the expression of "Why are you here?"

Tang Ji paused as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, then explained with a smile, "This isn't about repaying a life-saving favor. I felt it necessary to be here to protect your safety."

That's such a shameless thing to say.

"Is it not safe here?" Fu Tian asked back.

Someone said righteously, "Look, it's late at night, and there are dark shadows all around. There's no guarantee there won't be any wild beasts lurking around. As a man, I have to step forward."

Hearing this, Fu Tian glanced around Guanling Lake.

Since there are only a few days left before the Spring Temple Festival, Guanling Lake has been occupied by players and NPCs.

In order to catch more and better fish, everyone stayed by the Guanling Lake all night, some lit torches, some lit bonfires, and some carried oil lamps.

The dots of firelight connected into lines, and then turned into surfaces, illuminating the area with extraordinary brightness. Even if there were shadows, they were human figures, not wild beasts.

Tell lies without thinking.

Fu Tian snorted, but didn't chase him away.

She prepared a lot of ingredients, not to mention two people, even if there were three or four more, it would be no problem.

Fu Tian moved a little and made room for someone.

Tang Ji raised his eyebrows and took out a white porcelain bottle and two identical white wine cups from his backpack.

The pure and clear wine poured from the bottle and fell into the small wine cup. The strong aroma of wine with the flavor of pear blossoms actually penetrated the smell of hot pot and was smelled by Fu Tian.

This shows how mellow the quality of this wine is.

Tang Ji said proudly, "This is a unique product in Tanglu Town. If you want to buy it in the nearby towns, you have to go through a lot."

Fu Tian picked up a glass naturally and took a sip. It was unknown how long this wine had been stored. It was extremely sweet and the taste was not too strong, but full of the fragrance of pear blossoms.

Delicious.

Fu Tian's eyes lit up with admiration.

There is a difference between eating for free and paying for food.

At least Tang Ji was very satisfied when he was asked what he liked to eat.

After eating two large plates of meat, Fu Tian prepared to get her favorite wide noodles.

This vermicelli is made from sweet potatoes, and can also be called sweet potato wide noodles. She loves this kind of vermicelli. Compared with ordinary noodles, this vermicelli is wider and chewier. When coated with a layer of spicy sauce, the taste is beyond words.

Just one word, awesome!

Just as I was about to fish it out, I noticed a lotus-white arm stretching out from the side.

Lotus root white?

arm?

Fu Tian turned around and met the eyes of a little fat baby.

The doll looked about four or five years old, chubby, with arms and legs like lotus root nodes, and had a single braid, which made it extremely cute.

At this moment, he was looking at her with wet eyes, which made people's hearts melt.

Then the fat kid stretched his chubby little hands towards the boiling hot pot.

"Oh." Fu Tian quickly grabbed it.

The little fat baby pouted his mouth and big tears rolled down his face.

Fu Tian laughed to death, "Okay, it's not like I'm not letting you eat. This hot pot is too hot. Just use a spoon to eat it."

What chopsticks can children use?

But Fu Tian still gave the baby chopsticks, a plate, a small bowl and a small spoon.

Then she saw the little baby, and his chopsticks flew up, even Tang Ji, who was eating hot pot quietly beside him, was shocked.

In the end, the two adults were not as fast as a little kid.

Um?

By the time Fu Tian and Tang Ji stopped eating, the little kid was still not full.

His face was splattered with red sauce, his belly was bloated, and he only ate meat.

Is it really okay for children to eat so much?

Thinking of this, Fu Tian was about to stop it, but she discovered the peculiarity of the doll.

I saw a golden fish-scale mark behind the doll's ear.

All of a sudden, all kinds of myths and legends of ancient China emerged in Fu Tian's mind.

Then I remembered that this place is Guanling Lake.

No way…

Fu Tian tentatively mentioned, "This hot pot is okay to eat once or twice, but eating too much will easily cause internal heat. We can also try something else. For example..."

She turned to look at Tang Ji, "Do you know the pickled fish at Ruyue Tower in Yumi Town?"

"Oh!" Tang Ji's expression was exaggerated. "Is it a sour and vegetable dish with a lot of fish?"

In fact, there is no need to do so.

But the show has begun, so we have to continue.

Fu Tian had no choice but to turn her back and hold back her laughter, pretending to think alike, and said happily: "Yes, that pickled fish is absolutely amazing, the fish is tender and the soup is sour and refreshing."

"Wow, I haven't tried it yet. I really want to eat it." Tang Ji looked longingly.

His speaking skills are not very good, but the little kid is so gullible and has no experience. He even tried hot pot for the first time and was simply amazed by it.

So he also showed a longing expression.

Seeing that the person had taken the bait, Fu Tian added at the right time, "That's perfect. I bought a sauerkraut seasoning package. As long as we can catch this fish, we can eat sauerkraut fish on the spot."

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, the little kid stood up and ran to where the fishing rod was placed in a few seconds.

He muttered something, and then saw a small whirlpool on the calm water surface. Then the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger. With a whoosh, a mandarin fish with a green back and a light golden belly was pulled ashore.

There were sounds of people gasping for breath all around.

Fu Tian also took a breath immediately afterwards.

It's over, it's a big deal.

Just then, she heard someone shout, "Isn't this the one on the bounty? Quick, send a message to him. It's three thousand star coins."

Damn!
