The next morning at breakfast, there was a plate of bean paste in front of everyone on the table. It was extremely delicious. Xue Huan used the paste to dip her steamed buns and fried dumplings, and she simply couldn't stop eating.
Seeing that she liked it so much, Yuan Xi placed the sauce dish in front of her that he had hardly touched.
Xue Huan blinked, "You don't like it?"
Yuan Xi wiped the sauce off her lips and licked it, "I prefer this."
Xue Huan's face suddenly became hot. She looked up at the other people at the table and saw that they were all eating their own food and didn't pay attention to her. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She stepped on Yuan Xi's foot under the table and whispered to him, "Be more restrained in front of mother and the others."
Yuan Xi lowered his eyes and smiled.
Xue Huan ate both plates of sauce, and finally scraped the remaining sauce into the noodles, mixed it, and ate another bowl of noodles.
"Mom, what kind of sauce is this? It's delicious." She had never eaten such a delicious delicacy before.
Xue's mother said, "This is the Laba beans I bought from Lao Liu's sauce shop. If you like it, I'll buy a few more jars and keep them for you to eat slowly."
Xue Huan sipped the sauce on her chopsticks and said, "How about we make it ourselves?" Although she was busy eating just now, her delicate tongue could still taste the ingredients.
The Laba beans are so delicious when made with ordinary ingredients. If they are made with the spiritual ingredients in her space, wouldn’t they be even more delicious?
Xue's mother: "That's fine. Laba beans are not difficult to make, but it takes time."
After dinner, the whole family worked together to make Laba beans.
This bean paste can not only be used as a dipping sauce, but is also great for eating with rice or cooking.
There is a saying that goes, one spoonful of sauce, three bowls of rice, which is referring to Laba beans.
To make Laba beans, you need to carefully select soybeans with full grains. After a series of tedious procedures such as soaking, boiling, drying, incubating, and exposing to the sun, the beans undergo a series of chemical or biological reactions, and a layer of fuzz grows on the surface, which sticks to the beans.
Then add a large amount of salt, chopped chili peppers, chopped ginger, minced garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and white wine. Just like making braised food, mix these seasonings with the edamame, stir evenly, put them in a jar and seal it for storage. You can dip a circle of tea oil on the edge of the jar to prevent insects.
After sealing the jar and brewing for one or two months, the Laba beans are ready and can be opened and eaten.
Take a spoonful and pour it on the hot white rice. The amber oil will soak into the rice, accompanied by the unique flavor of the sauce made from beans, chili peppers, ginger, minced garlic, etc. The taste is so fragrant that it will make your tongue fall off.
You can also use Laba beans to stir-fry dishes. No matter what dish you stir-fry with Laba beans, the deliciousness will instantly increase by several levels.
At noon, Xue Huan used Lao Liu's Laba beans to make a dish of fried garlic sprouts, Laba beans mixed with oil residue, and steamed fish with Laba beans.
The whole family was very satisfied with the meal.
After dinner, Xue Huan was holding Xiao Bao and playing with him. Suddenly, her expression changed. She handed Xiao Bao to Xue Jun and said, "Your brother-in-law and I are going out to buy some things. We will be back soon."
As soon as he left the house, Yuan Xi asked, "What happened?"
He felt her mood swings.
Xue Huan said in a deep voice, "Someone is causing trouble in the hot pot restaurant."
The people from the hot pot restaurant went to find Zhao Xiaoxian, and Zhao Xiaoxian found out about it. As the owner, she naturally found out about it too.
Zhao Xiaoxian had already rushed over, but she was still a little worried and wanted to go over and take a look.
Yuan Xi put his arm around her waist and leaped into the air with her. In one step, they were above the hot pot restaurant, so fast that Xue Huan couldn't react.
The two arrived earlier than Zhao Xiaoxian who had set out earlier.
Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant, in the Xuan private room.
A man was holding the shopkeeper's neck and pressing him on the table. The woman next to him was holding a long-handled spoon used to scoop soup when eating hot pot. She scooped a spoonful of boiling hot pot soup and hung it over the shopkeeper's head.
"Let me ask again, where do the ingredients for your shop come from?"
The shopkeeper was angry and afraid, "I don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!"
If he had known that these people were robbers, he would never have let them into the restaurant. They looked decent and dressed in fine silk, but they behaved like bandits. Not only did they not pay for the meal, they also tried to force him to reveal the supplier of the hot pot restaurant's ingredients.
It looks like he's planning to steal the ingredients from the hot pot restaurant!
There are three main reasons why their Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant has been so successful and still doing so well. The first is, of course, that they were the first to open a hotpot restaurant. Hotpot was invented by their owners! Even if others tried to follow suit, they wouldn't be authentic! Their Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant is the originator of hotpot.
Second, the base of the pot is good.
Third, the ingredients are good.
Except for those who deliberately cause trouble, no one who has eaten here has anything bad to say, and few people become repeat customers after coming here once.
With the business so booming, naturally some people want to get a piece of the pie. Some follow the trend and open shops, some come to inquire about the soup base recipe, and some even want to steal the food suppliers from their shop.
But all these people ended up failing in the end.
The hot pot base recipe was only known to the owner and Chef Xiao. The owner naturally wouldn't reveal it to anyone, and Chef Xiao was the third-largest shareholder in their restaurant. How could he leak the recipe and make himself less profitable? That would be idiotic!
Isn't the owner worried that Chef Xiao will run away with the recipe and start a new business? Haha, what's the point of having just a hot pot base recipe!
No matter how good the soup base is, it cannot be eaten as a meal. It must be paired with high-quality ingredients to be tasty.
The ingredients in their shop are so good that everyone who has tried them praises them! Many people even want to take some food away.
As for the food supplier, only the boss knows.
That’s why Shanhai Hotpot Restaurant has been open for so long and still occupies the top spot in the catering industry.
Even Yingxian Tower is not as good as it.
In addition, the Ye family, the most aristocratic family in Fengchi County, is also a shareholder of the hot pot restaurant. In the past two years, almost no one dared to come to the restaurant to cause trouble.
Who knew I would run into this group of people today!
But don't be afraid, someone in the store must have already gone to invite the owner. Once the owner comes, he will want to see how this group of people get into trouble!
"Oh, your bones are hard. I'd like to see if your bones can still be hard later!" The woman said, pouring the hot soup in the spoon onto the shopkeeper's head.
The shopkeeper's face twitched in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Not to mention that he really didn't know, even if he knew, he would not betray his boss because his boss treated him so well!
It's just scalding hot pot soup! He can handle it!
Besides the man and woman, there was another man in the private room. Seeing this, the man felt a little sorry and advised, "Ruizhi, forget it. He probably really doesn't know that we are here on a mission. Let's not waste time."
