Chapter 71 Hot Pot with Barbecue (Part 1)
The lamb neck, lamb top head, lamb tenderloin, and lamb hind legs are boned and cut into thin slices. When used in hot pot, the fat and lean parts of the meat vary, and the texture of the meat is also different, each delicious in its own way.
The lamb ribs that are cut off are marinated and sent to the bread oven together with the lamb legs, and hung on the hooks on the top of the oven to be baked.
When Jiangyou was cutting the meat, he discovered that although the sheepskin was hard, the meat was very tender. Jiangyou's knife was very sharp, and even without a modern meat-cutting machine, he could still slice the meat beautifully.
The fat and lean meat pieces are removed, cut into even-sized cubes, and skewered on a baking sheet to be grilled over charcoal later. Pure lean meat and pure fat meat, which would not taste good if eaten directly, are removed and made into even meat filling by Andre.
The knight with beautiful muscle lines is very good at this and can beat out even and chewy meat paste in a short time.
The meat paste can be mixed into mutton meatballs, mutton buns, or mutton dumplings.
Because the amount of meat was so large, after making enough meatballs, Jiangyou took out her pet noodle Gu, kneaded the dough, and made a large number of mutton buns and dumplings, then quickly froze them with freezing magic. After sterilizing these frozen buns and dumplings, they were placed in a box and covered with a temporary freezing magic circle. They could barely be stored overnight, and the next morning, they could be steamed in a steamer for a perfect breakfast.
This makeshift magic circle was naturally inferior to the refrigerator Takuya had purchased. Setting it up was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and its usefulness was also very short. But in a small inn in the middle of nowhere, one had to learn to adapt. As the saying goes, a poor home brings riches on the road, so one shouldn't skimp on the magic power needed for travel.
By spending this magic power, you can have a hearty breakfast tomorrow morning and earn new soul fire. It is better than letting it go without any care and then accidentally eating spoiled buns or dumplings tomorrow morning.
Since the dough had already been kneaded, Jiangyou rolled out some hand-rolled noodles as the main dish for the hot pot in the evening.
By nightfall, the guests in the hotel were all aware of the rich aroma.
The magicians who were busy checking data in the front hall were the first to be captivated by the aroma.
Eslan and his group, who had been immersed in their research since the lich left the table to cook and the cat demon collected the leaf cards, raised their dizzy heads from their books and took a few breaths. A hungry light gradually lit up in their chaotic eyes. "What a nice smell! What's that?"
"The aroma of mushrooms and lamb." Lani looked dreamy and took a few more sips. "It smells like lamb soup and roasted lamb."
"There's also a strong aroma of spices," Henry calmly judged, "but I can't tell which spices they are... Eslan, are these spices similar to the curry we had in the capital before?"
"I don't know," Eslan said with clarity in his eyes, "I only know that it smells so good, so good... I can't find a more appropriate adjective, it really smells good!"
After repeating "It smells good" three times in a row, the poor student finally couldn't help but got up and looked at the kitchen door, and then ran into Jiangyou who came out to get the pot.
The Skeleton Lich said with a grin, "Dinner is almost ready. Hand over the pot and soul fire~"
The three magicians suddenly felt as if they were being robbed. They obediently paid for the new soul fire—'unbearable hunger', 'anxious desire', and 'stupidity of not being able to understand data'.
...Of course, stupidity shouldn't be considered an emotion, but rather a part of the soul. However, Eslan felt that it was a good deal to get this thing out of the soul - although Jiang You didn't know if this thing could grow back.
Jiang You had no desire to try these soul fire flavors, but she was also full of curiosity about these strange soul fires. She had no doubt that these soul fires could become excellent self-defense weapons... Well, I wonder which unlucky villain would be lucky enough to become the first experimental subject?
The magicians set up a portable magical stove, as compact as an alcohol stove, on the table. The iron pot they had handed over was quickly returned, half filled with mushroom and meat broth. Jiangyou placed the basket of vegetables on the table, then brought three plates of lamb slices, a plate of lamb meatballs, and a plate of fried tofu. Finally, there were three small bowls of prepared sauces, consisting of soy sauce, peanut butter, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and cilantro.
However, these are raw.
"There's some chopped lamb in the kitchen. Go get some if you don't feel like eating enough later." Jiang You said, and ran back to the kitchen, bringing out a plate of roasted lamb legs, a plate of roasted ribs, and a plate of lamb skewers.
This time, there was light in the magician's eyes.
"Wow! Barbecue!" Rani shouted excitedly.
"Excuse me," Henry adjusted his glasses, "perhaps this may be a bit presumptuous... but we are curious, how do you eat these raw meats and vegetables?"
"Oh, wait a moment. I'll demonstrate once everyone's here." Jiang You said with a smile, "Ah, your soup is boiling. I suggest everyone fill a bowl and drink it first to warm their stomachs."
As soon as she finished speaking, the hunters came back after feeding the dogs. The skeleton then repeated the process of collecting the soul fire and taking the pot, and then served the same dishes to the hunters' table.
The magician and the confused hunters drank their soup and watched the same scene happen again after the servants arrived. Finally, the knight and the cat demon took the soup pot and dishes and sat down.
After the lich served all the diners, he also sent a set of single-person hot pot soup base, vegetarian dishes, lamb meatballs, lamb slices and grilled lamb kebabs to the hotel owner, and then returned to his seat.
"Everyone, tonight we're preparing a mushroom hot pot. Hot pot means everyone boils their favorite meat and vegetable dishes in the broth in front of them, removes them, and eats them with their own dipping sauce." She explained the optimal time to cook each dish and how to judge doneness. "I suggest everyone drink a bowl of hot broth first to warm their stomachs, then add the meatballs and mushrooms. Once it boils, you can add the vegetables and meat!"
"What a wonderful way to eat it," the servants and hunters muttered, the first to try it. They had all cooked their own meals, so while the method was a little unfamiliar, it wasn't completely new to them. The magicians, on the other hand, watched Takuya at the next table shrewdly, watching what she put in the pot and then copying her.
When it comes to copying homework, magicians are all professionals.
Humans are highly adaptable creatures. At first, the diners were confused and bewildered. They just imitated the lich's actions and scooped a little hot pot soup into the sauce bowl and stirred it. But when the first piece of boiled meat coated with the sauce in the bowl slid into the esophagus, everything began to get out of control.
