Chapter 175 Carbon Fire and Exhaust Duct
But people of this era did not know this.
More people think pork is delicious, and there is a market for pork, so the price is also high.
But people in the technological age know all kinds of ways to eat lamb, including grilled lamb kebabs, which are all very delicious.
In addition, many people think that sheep are raised on grass in the mountains, and lamb is greener, so it is more expensive than pork.
But here, lamb is cheap.
So you can eat as much as you want.
Shen Yueyao was still wondering when she would have time to make skewers again.
Eating skewers is really delicious.
However, since she came to this era, she has been busy making money and has not yet taken everyone to eat barbecue.
Now that the weather is warmer, she is thinking about when to call everyone together to grill skewers in the yard.
Their house has just been expanded and the yard is very large. There is a tree in the yard, which is paved with pebbles and has vegetables planted in it. It would be very relaxing for the family to sit together and eat barbecue skewers.
In the past, the family conditions were not good, and Shen Yueyao was always thinking about how to make money to improve the family's living conditions.
Only when everyone has enough to eat and has money in hand will I think about making better food for my family.
Mutton is cheap, so you can buy it to make these delicious dishes.
Thinking of the lamb skewers, Shen Yueyao also smiled.
Ye exclaimed in amazement, "It's really delicious. I didn't expect mutton to be so delicious. Mutton is even cheaper than pork. Can I buy more mutton and eat it this way in the future?"
Chen Chengzhou said: "My daughter is really amazing. I think the key is the seasoning. Eating it with this dip makes the mutton taste great."
While they were talking, everyone was eating quickly with their chopsticks.
“The lamb is so delicious.”
"The dipping sauce is delicious. I just picked up a piece of cabbage from it and it tasted really good when dipped in it."
The eldest and second baby were also very happy eating, their cheeks puffed up while they were eating.
Their eyes sparkled when they smiled, and they were obviously enjoying their meal.
Xuanxuan ate it with great pleasure, and said tenderly, "Mom, it's so delicious."
Seeing that Xuanxuan liked to eat, Ye was very happy.
"As long as it tastes good, this is how your aunt invented it. You should thank her."
Xuanxuan looked at Shen Yueyao and said shyly, "Thank you, aunt."
Shen Yueyao gently touched Xuanxuan's face and said, "You're welcome. Xuanxuan likes to eat. Eat more."
Shen Yueyao sighed inwardly that the child's skin was so good, so tender and felt like jelly.
Xuanxuan nodded seriously, "Yeah."
Everyone was amused by Xuanxuan's reaction.
Seeing the children eating happily, the adults were also relieved.
Shen Shaojing was originally in a very heavy mood, but when he ate the hot pot, it tasted so good, especially when he ate it, he felt his body warm and his emotions were soothed.
I felt like the pressure on my body was suddenly relieved.
It's very strange, it's just a psychological effect.
Soon, everyone had eaten the whole pot of mutton.
Then Shen Yueyao made the meatballs.
No matter what it is, everyone thinks it tastes delicious when put into the pot and dipped in the sauce.
"I didn't expect green vegetables and wild vegetables could be so delicious."
Shen Shaojing's mind moved and said: "Sister, I think the essence of hot pot lies in the seasoning, especially the sauce. If the sauce tastes good, it will taste good no matter what ingredients are dipped in it."
"This way of eating is really novel. It makes my whole body warm and comfortable."
Shen Shaojing was in a bad mood in the morning because of the Xu family's affairs, but after eating hot pot, he felt like his mood was healed.
It's amazing.
"If you can eat hot pot in winter, it will warm your body."
Shen Shaojing imagined that it would be a great feeling to eat hot pot indoors in the winter when it was snowing heavily outside.
He obviously didn't like winter before because it was too cold.
But because of hot pot, he is now looking forward to the snow in winter.
I heard that some people who can afford tea like to drink tea around the fire in winter.
But tea is very expensive and their family couldn’t afford it before.
In winter, I just drink boiled water and don’t have the habit of drinking tea.
But some businessmen have said that in winter, when it snows and there is nothing to do and you cannot go out, a group of relatives and friends get together, sit around the stove, make tea, and chat, which is very lively and relaxing.
Just thinking about that scene, Shen Shaojing felt it was beautiful.
However, to make tea around the stove, you need not only tea but also charcoal to start the fire.
Put charcoal in a basin and burn it, put a wire mesh on it, and place the stove on the wire mesh.
Carbon is a bit expensive though.
If only carbon were cheaper.
Anyway, when it was freezing cold, the merchants and eunuchs could afford to buy charcoal to make fires for warmth, but the villagers couldn't afford charcoal and had to use firewood.
Shen Shaojing was eating hot pot, and his mind couldn't help but think about these things.
Everyone had a very full lunch.
I was obviously full, but because it was delicious, I couldn’t help but want to eat more.
So much so that Cui sighed, "I feel so full all of a sudden. I haven't felt this way in a long time."
After eating too much, I feel really comfortable in my stomach.
Ye rubbed her stomach contentedly and said, "Mom, I feel very full too. Sister, this is really delicious."
Ye looked at Shen Yueyao with admiration in her eyes.
This girl is so amazing. I don’t know what’s going on in her brain. She always has so many ideas and so many ways to make money.
She admired him very much.
Shen Chengzhou said: "Even those noble families may not know this way of eating."
Dabao, Erbao and Xuanxuan were also very full. They just sat there and didn't want to move.
Shen Shaojing said excitedly: “Sister, you are right. If hot pot can open a store, I believe many people will like to eat it, and the business will definitely be booming.”
"It would be great if we could open hot pot restaurants all over the Great Yan Dynasty."
Shen Shaojing couldn't hide his excitement.
"If charcoal were cheaper, we could use it to cook in the pot. The only problem is that it would create a lot of smoke inside the house. If every pot had an exhaust duct like in the village, we wouldn't have to worry about it."
Shen Yueyao understood that what Fourth Brother was talking about was actually the chimney smoke exhaust method.
When Shen Yueyao heard this, her expression changed and she said, "If that's the case, then it's possible. We can have an exhaust duct next to each pot in the store. However, this will make the renovation very complicated. The store will almost have to be rebuilt from scratch, and the space will need to be even larger."
"Also, it's best to use charcoal. The kind that produces less smoke and lasts longer is very expensive on the market, so I still need to think about it carefully."
There were indeed many inconveniences in this era without electricity.
So if you really want to open a hot pot restaurant, you have to think about it carefully.
Shen Shaojing said: "Sister, I will pay more attention to see how to buy charcoal cheaply. There should be merchants doing charcoal fire business. I wonder if the price can be cheaper if I buy it from the place where charcoal fire is produced."
