I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Chapter 172 Maybe I Can Consider a Hot Pot?

The same three ingredients.

"Coriander, white radish, butter".

Seeing the first ingredient, Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows. This time, the system was really considerate. The cumin mutton happened to be short of coriander, so it sent coriander to the door.

The price is not too expensive, five cents a catty.

Coriander is a very special ingredient.

Those who like it love it to death, and those who don't like it feel like an enemy at a glance.

Yin Xuan paid for a catty, took out one, washed it with clean water, and chewed it. He is the kind of person who likes coriander.

Then look at the second ingredient.

Thick and big white radish.

White radish alone can't be a big dish, but it is an excellent auxiliary material when stewing meat soup, especially mutton soup. Even radish can compete with cumin to see who is the king of mutton.

But the price of white radish is not cheap, three pennies a piece.

After Yin Xuan ate the last bite of coriander in his hand, he bought one casually, and it fell into his hand with a plop.It must weigh at least three catties, and one and a half white radishes are about as long as Yin Lulu's legs.

He looked at the fist-sized sweet potato, and then at the thick and big radish.

Three pennies seems to be quite cheap.

Yin Xuan cut off a piece of radish with two knives, peeled off the skin, and gnawed it. There was a trace of spicy taste, and after a few bites, it became sweet.

It's a good turnip.

Yin Xuan looked at the last ingredient that was unlocked.

butter.

The price is not cheap, five cents, a weight of one and a half catties.

Let’s say it’s useful. Butter can’t cook almost anything, and cooking is far less good than vegetable oil.

It can be said that it is useless, and some pastry making is inseparable from it.

Like butter puff pastry, butter cake.

The most important thing is that the weather and the appearance of butter made Yin Xuan think of an indispensable way of eating in winter - hot pot.

Although there will be some people who are out of tune, old-eyed, and dementia, in order to attract people's attention, they say something like "hot pot is the most uneducated way of cooking".

But on the contrary, when it comes to cultural heritage, hot pot should be above cooking.

It's an ancient way of eating that's no less than barbecue.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a custom of boiling food in tripods and clay pots.And in the tomb of Marquis Haihun, who single-handedly promoted the development of the entire archaeological world, hot pot utensils were unearthed.

Stir-frying is only a thousand years old, barely four times the length of the history of eagle sauce.

But hot pot has a history of more than 2000 years.

The exact origin of hot pot is unknown, but there are many ways to eat it, and it can be found in various places. The most well-known one is the Sichuan style hot pot, which has a spicy buttery bottom.

There are also copper pot mutton from Beijing, mutton ice hot pot from Inner Mongolia, and beef pot from Chaoshan. Of course, there is also the most notorious cow dung hot pot.

The most indispensable thing in winter is hot pot.

Although Datang has hot pot, this way of eating is not very popular, and the lack of seasoning is always a problem.

Even Chaoshan beef hot pot uses the clearest soup, but it is beef broth and white radish, but it also needs spices such as pepper, garlic, and thyme.

Yin Xuan thought about it while nibbling on the carrot.

Copper pots are easy to make, so I went to a blacksmith and talked about it, just a few pots.

The key is what base material to choose.

Jingpai hot pot is inevitable, and the soup base is simple.The mutton ice cube hot pot in Inner Mongolia is also indispensable-Yin Xuan ate it with his ex-girlfriend.

The mutton is boiled with ice cubes and sprinkled with a little salt, it is unparalleled in freshness.

What makes Yin Xuan difficult is Sichuan style hot pot. He is a person who likes spicy food. Although Beijing style and Inner Mongolia hot pot are good, he also wants to eat spicy food.

After all, he is a sinful and playful man when it comes to food.

Different from other hot pots, Sichuan style hot pot is the most complicated of all hot pots. More than ten kinds of spices are used for the base ingredients alone, which is not as simple as roasting a whole lamb.

The radish in my hand is almost finished.

Yin Xuan suddenly thought that he once had an ex-girlfriend from Sichuan. She was a little special and was allergic to Gansong, but no matter which hot pot base, this was indispensable.

So when eating hot pot, she usually frys the hot pot base by herself.

Maybe you can try it yourself?

Yin Xuan turned on the fire, heated up the pot, bought a piece of butter, put it into the pot, after it was burnt, added peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin, two large handfuls of dried chilies, green onions, garlic, ginger, onions, and then half a bottle of watercress Sauce.

After frying the fragrance, add an appropriate amount of water, sprinkle a spoonful of sugar, a few tablespoons of salt, cut the white radish into pieces, and put them in the pot.

Bring to a boil over high heat.

The radish rises and falls with the blisters.

A strong fragrance wafted out.

Yin Xuan took a piece of transparently burned radish and stuffed it into his mouth. Compared with the authentic Sichuan style hot pot, it tasted a lot worse.

It tasted pretty good though.

Yin Xuan cut a few more slices of mutton, sliced ​​pork into thin slices, and deboned a piece of fish.

Before he could walk out of the kitchen, he called Wang and the others over.

Yin Lulu came over smelling the aroma, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Yin Xuan: "Brother, what delicious food did you cook again!"

"Go, call mother and Jiu'er over." Yin Xuan waved his hand, "I made a hot pot, come and taste it."

Yin Lulu ran out quickly.

After yelling a few times in the yard, he quickly went back into the kitchen.

This way of eating is a very novel way of eating for them.

Yin Lulu stood on the stool, picked up a piece of mutton, rinsed it in the pot, saw it changed color, scooped it up, blew it, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Brother, I, hiss, can I take this to school?" After taking a few mouthfuls, Yin Lulu tilted her head and looked at her brother with anticipation in her eyes.

This way of eating is not only delicious, but also inexplicably handsome.

When Yin Lulu thought that if she brought the hot pot there, they might be able to make them submit to Elder Sister Yin Lulu even more, a look of anticipation appeared on her face.

"It's a bit troublesome, but if you can convince your sister Li Yingzi to deliver it to you at noon, I can prepare it for you." Yin Xuan gnawed on a white radish and replied casually.

What is the best way to resolve the conflict?
It is to transfer the conflict to others.

Yin Lulu stopped talking, but tilted her head, thinking.

It doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to convince sister Li Yingzi, after all, she loves herself so much.
Yin Xuan is also a little absent-minded. There is no hot pot with dipping sauce, and he always feels that something is missing.

The northern style hot pot eats sesame paste, and the southern style hot pot eats sesame oil.

Do you want to go to West Market to buy some sesame seeds and sesame oil?Counting on the system to unlock these things, I don't know when it will be.
