Chapter 665 Yuanyang Pot
Others in the Xu family: ...
Actually, they don’t know what this pot is for, after all, they haven’t seen it before.
But seeing that Xu Maoning just asked a few words, he was scolded by Xu's mother, which made his face shameless, and others were too embarrassed to answer the question.
Xu Wanning was very touched by Xu's mother's protection and knew how surprising it would be if she took out the pot, so she explained.
"I have read in books before that the way to eat hot pot in Sichuan and Chongqing is to use a mandarin duck pot like this. Half of the pot is filled with butter, and the other half is used to cook mushroom soup, tomato and sauerkraut. In this way, you can Taking care of all the people who can't eat spicy food and those who can eat spicy food."
"Later, when I chatted with Gu Meng, I confirmed this statement from her, so I thought about it and made such a pot. I had been thinking about it for a long time. Our whole family got together to have a lively hot pot meal, but we never found a suitable opportunity."
Xu Wanning did discuss this topic with Gu Meng.
But Gu Meng's original words at that time were, "Our biggest concession is to eat Zimu hotpot."
In Zimu hotpot, only the small circle in the middle holds the bottom of the clear soup pot, and the large circle outside is filled with spicy hotpot.
The Xu family, including her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, are all from Beijing. Although they can eat a little spicy food, they cannot eat it too spicy, and the hot pot becomes spicier as it is cooked. The stomach and intestines will not be able to accept it.
Therefore, Xu Wanning took out the mandarin duck pot.
"The fungi in this season are not very fresh, and the mushroom soup pot will not be very delicious, so we will eat tomato pot and spicy pot today."
Xu Wanning raised the full ingredients in her hands: " I'm going to stir-fry the hot pot base. Please help me prepare the dishes."
"No problem." Zhang Wenting rolled up her sleeves first, "Aning, tell me how to prepare these dishes.
" Small pieces. The meat should be sliced thinly. “
It’s easier to work when there are more people.
There are those who specialize in picking vegetables, those who wash vegetables, and those who specialize in cutting vegetables and meat. All processes are carried out in an orderly manner.
Xu Wanning's space had hot pot base ingredients that she had fried a long time ago, but she thought that this was the first time for a whole family to eat hot pot together, and of course the base ingredients had to be freshly fried to be fragrant.
For a professional chef, there is no need to consider the skill when frying the hot pot base. In just a short time, the whole yard will be filled with fragrance.
Originally, everyone was sitting together in twos and threes chatting, but after smelling the smell of hot pot base, everyone silently stopped talking, for fear that the louder voices would disperse the smell.
"It smells so good, but it's also so spicy. Just smelling it makes me feel numb all over." The person who said this was the eldest aunt who can't eat spicy food.
"Although I put less chili peppers in this spicy pot, it is still somewhat spicy. Auntie, you will eat the tomato pot later."
The eldest aunt knew that the tomato pot was specially prepared by Xu Wanning for the children, and she laughed to herself. Smile: "Okay, I have to follow the children to grab food later."
Although it is a bit embarrassing to spread the word, how can it be considered shameful to eat the food cooked by my niece?
What Xu Wanning didn't expect was that within a short time, several families had already walked out of their own yard and surrounded the Xu family's yard.
Mother Lin wiped the water stains on her hands with her apron and said to Xu Wanning, "I guess I smell the hot pot ingredients you stir-fry."
"Oh, I didn't expect the smell of the stir-fry ingredients would spread so far. "
In later generations, almost all families with slightly better conditions would install range hoods in the kitchen, so that the smell would not spread out easily.
Of course, it would be okay even if they dispersed, since every household would have this kind of food.
But this was the 1970s and 1980s, when things were just beginning to open up, and everyone’s conditions were getting a little better.
Even military dependents who receive a fixed monthly allowance do not dare to eat openly.
Therefore, the neighbors who smelled such an attractive smell for the first time came out curiously to find out the news.
"It's okay, just keep doing your work. Mom will go out and talk to them."
Mother Lin left the yard and started chatting with each other in a few words.
"This is not my mother-in-law's family. I thought they haven't come to play in our house yet, so we invited everyone over today to have a gathering together."
"It's good, good. Yes. "Hey, what is your Wan Ning doing? It smells like she's thinking about it."
"Hey, I don't know what it's called. I heard it from An Ning. She just likes to study it. " It’s something I haven’t eaten before. But this is my first time making it. I don’t know if it tastes good, but it smells pretty good.”
Seeing
these people, I still craned my neck to look into the yard. Mother Yuan wasn't angry either, she just opened the door silently: "Why don't you come in and take a look?"
"No, no, your whole family is here, what's going on if we go in? Aunt Lin, have you eaten today?" If this hot pot tastes good, tell us later what it tastes like. "
"Sure, no problem. If it tastes good, I'll tell Aning later and let her add Xu. Put up the menu at Jiapuzi Restaurant, so you can go to the store and eat ready-made!"
Mother Lin gave a pertinent suggestion with a smile, but the expressions of the people opposite her were not very good.
As soon as they smelled the fragrance, they knew it came from the Lin family.
Who doesn't know that the Lin family in the family area has the best life in the family area. They cook almost every meal at home, including big fish and meat, just like the simple dishes in the military canteen can't be eaten at all. It seems to satisfy their appetite.
Of course they were envious, but who would let someone have a daughter-in-law who can make money?
I heard that the restaurant has an income of hundreds or thousands of yuan every month!
They are even jealous!
But fortunately, Mother Lin is a kind person, and she also wants to do her best to help Lin An and Xu Wanning become more popular in the army, so sometimes there are snacks in the house that the children don't want to eat. , she is also willing to take it out to the children of several nearby families.
Therefore, the Lin family creates a resentful image of people being stupid and rich.
Today, they asked about the mouth-watering taste, so they discussed how several families would come to the door together. Under verbal attacks, they didn't believe that the Lin family would be embarrassed, so they could always share some of it with them.
But they didn't expect that the Lin family would have so many guests. Even the most shameless people were embarrassed to go in at this time.
It is said that the in-laws of the Lin family are all prominent figures!
