Chapter 209 Sitting Around a Table

Gulu, Gulu, Gulu...

The sound of the soup boiling was muffled, and big and big bubbles kept coming out, rolling up the seasoning at the bottom of the pot. It looked like a sulfur hot spring, and the pungent spicy smell made people shy away, but the air There is a fragrance in the room but people can't help but become more and more curious, especially the red pot of spicy pot, which has gathered all the focus——

Different from the last boiled live fish, the soup in the whole pot is reddish-brown, and it is continuously tumbling and boiling, which makes people inexplicably feel that the temperature is so high, like sulfuric acid with explosive lethality, they can't help but stay away from it , It's hard to imagine how to eat such a pot of soup.

Ronald leaned over to take a look, first at the red pot on one side, then at the white pot on the other side, he didn't quite understand - the clear soup pot was also completely different from his impression, the soup was close to milky white The juice looks like milk, but they all know that it is not milk, but beef bone soup that has been simmered for several hours, and then a large bag of hot pot seasoning is added, and the color becomes so attractive.

Since the hot pot is really overbearing, the air is full of pungent smells, so the clear soup pot seems to have no weight at all.But if you sniff it carefully, you can feel the faint sweetness, rich and refreshing. Before the consciousness reacted, Ronald couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Is this hot pot?" Ronald questioned. The hot pot he had eaten before looked the same, but it was actually quite different.To be precise, this is not the same as the hot pot in his memory, "The hot pot we ate last time, the whole pot looked clear, and the smell of monosodium glutamate was very strong, it looked nothing like the one in front of us. What exactly is it? Fourteen, isn’t this hot pot? Tell me, isn’t this hot pot?”

There was still some disgust on Ronald's expression, but the curiosity between his brows still couldn't be hidden.

For the first time, Lu Li ignored Ronald—an old child, an old child, the older he was, the more he looked like a child.If you ignore it now, you will fall short, and you will continue to hang Ronald's curiosity.

Lu Li looked at the others with a smile, "How about it, are you all ready?"

"Fourteen, how do you want to eat this thing?" Randy couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the question loudly.

"This is red pot. As the name suggests, the taste is spicy, more mellow and stronger. In our hometown, everyone says that spicy pot is the essence of hot pot. However, not everyone can afford spicy pot , So, don’t try it lightly.” Lu Li was already very familiar with this set of procedures, and he clearly introduced it to everyone present, “Then, this is a white pot, and the main purpose is to ensure the original taste of the ingredients. , and at the same time, it has a unique flavor of hot pot. The beef bone soup we made can enhance the freshness of vegetables, and I recommend trying it. However, it mainly depends on your own preferences and chooses the taste that suits you.”

Lu Li picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and gestured to everyone, "The charm of hot pot is that no matter whether it is meat or vegetarian, it can have a special flavor and present a variety of tastes. What you need to do is very simple. Just put the ingredients in the pot, rinse them, wait for them to cook, then pick them up and dip them in the sauce..."

Lu Li put the beef into the red pot, and everyone's eyes were projected over, focusing on the piece of beef in the pot, and then he witnessed the color of the beef getting lighter little by little, and the tender and translucent meat color faded away little by little. , fluttering lightly, the tumbling red pot had a special beauty, in just ten or 20 seconds, the whole piece of meat was already half cooked, Lu Li flipped it over neatly with chopsticks to make sure the whole piece of meat was cooked After that, it was clipped.

"Different ingredients require different cooking times. So, don't throw them all at once. You must remember what you threw and what you want to eat, otherwise it will be overcooked and it won't taste good." Lu Li picked up the meat slices, and then Put it in a bowl, and then picked up another small bowl, "Look, here are all seasonings, different combinations, you can taste it for a while, and then decide which one you like best, mix them together .”

Everyone stretched their necks and watched Lu Li's movements intently, "Fourteen, fourteen, what did you add?"

"I'll add some chili paste, then minced chili, a little mashed garlic, a little minced green onion, then sesame oil, and my personal preference, add some soy sauce." Lu Li's taste is quite unique, and he prepared his best I like the style, "However, there is no need for you to learn. As I said, you can taste the sauce and adjust it according to your own taste."

In fact, these are common sauces, all of which are bought from Chinese supermarkets. The number of types and the taste of sauces cannot be compared with those in China, but in foreign countries, there is no need to be so particular.It is enough to be able to taste the authentic hot pot taste.

"After preparing the sauce, dip the hot ingredients in the sauce, da da!" Lu Li put the beef into the sauce, stirred it carefully, and stuffed it into his mouth. The rich spicy aroma mixed with the beef The sweetness and flavor danced on the tip of the tongue, and people couldn't help but start chewing. The delicious taste made Lu Li close his eyes.

It's really been a long time.

More importantly, this beef is from the Angus cattle that were born and raised in the ranch. It is tender but chewy. The light sweetness is not covered by the spicy taste. After swallowing, there is a light sweetness on the tip of the tongue. , It almost makes people swallow their tongues.

After Lu Li opened his eyes again, he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, including Lu Huaijin, Song Lingyi, Li Huainan and Liu Xiaoyan.

Lu Li smiled at them and nodded, "It's indeed the taste of hometown." This made all four of them smile, especially Song Lingyi, it was not in vain for them to carry these hot pot ingredients all the way back. At this moment, seeing Lu Li Happiness on the face, that's the most important thing.

"Are all the ingredients the same?" Randy asked aloud again.

"Yes, simple and rude, straightforward." Lu Li nodded in affirmation.

"However, this red pot looks terrible! How can this be eaten?" It was Ronald who spoke, and he couldn't wait to start questioning, "And this white pot, isn't it the same as cooking sliced ​​meat in clear water? Is it? The taste must be terrible, I tasted it once, and I definitely don't want to taste it a second time."

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders at Ronald, with a look of indifference, "Do you need me to make some dumplings for you? It only takes 10 minutes to cook them." That teasing look made Ronald very angry. Standing beside her, Lily couldn't help but interrupted Ronald's words before he had time to speak, "Fourteen, can we start eating?"

"Of course, of course." Lu Li nodded again and again, "Hotpot is so simple, without too much technical content." Of course, this is just a simple hotpot for families, and the mysteries of professional hotpot are not something laymen like them can understand. "You go to choose the sauce first, then come over to cook the hot pot, and then you can eat it."

Everyone immediately swarmed towards the sauce table next to it, "Wow! This is too much, isn't it? Shall we try to go one by one?" "How much is this? One, two ... Nine, ten... My God, it's not over yet!" "So many choices, how do we know what to match?"

Tony looked left and right, but found that he couldn't make a choice. There were too many choices of dipping ingredients, and he ran to Song Lingyi, "Ms. L, do you have any recommendations? I can have a A little spicy, but not very good at it, I am willing to try all kinds of dishes, can you help me adjust it? Also, my taste may be a little salty."

Tony had a flattering smile on his face, and his wheat-colored skin carried the boldness and refreshingness of a sunny boy. Song Lingyi couldn't help laughing, "No problem, I'll make you a few basic ones, and then add a little sesame oil. Try it first." Take a look at the white pot, and then eat the red pot, you will probably know whether the taste is light or heavy, and then come back and add seasonings."

"Ms. L! Ms. L! And me!" Randy raised his right hand high, fearing that he would be ignored, he couldn't wait to say, but this time he was not alone, Jessica, Cole, Sean and others They all raised their hands, and Brandon was even smarter, and ran to Liu Xiaoyan's side, "Can you help?"

Now, Liu Xiaoyan became very hot, even Li Huainan and Lu Huaijin were entangled by Jessica, Chloe, and Lily. The scene was very lively.

However, Lu Li left the dining table, went to the refrigerator and took out a cold Coke, and then took out a large bucket of ice cubes.He knew that the red pot of hot pot tasted good just now, but soon, their lips would be swollen from the heat, so they had to be prepared in advance.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Teddy followed Lu Li's feet, rubbed against each other, and looked at the excitement in the kitchen curiously. Lu Li couldn't help but patted Teddy's head, "You can't eat this. You can't eat this. Food." Teddy understood, and then sat down with a disappointed face, his eyes full of loneliness.

However, before Lu Li could comfort Teddy, he yelled, "Bucky!" The little guy was scurrying around under the corner of the kitchen table, looking at everyone around him curiously with his light footsteps, even eager to try. He really wanted to jump on the dining table, not to mention how Bucky made trouble, but this hot pot, Bucky must not try it, he would get sick if he was not careful.

Chloe came over, hugged Bucky, and patted the little guy's head, "Man, this is not something you can participate in." Chloe turned around and let Bucky land again. He walked briskly towards Lu Li's direction, paused in front of Lu Li, and then walked straight past.

Lu Li looked at Bucky's haughty back, and couldn't help laughing: It's the first time he's seen Bucky since he came back from New York. Is this little guy throwing a tantrum?

After watching Bucky leave, when he turned his head again, Lu Li saw everyone standing around the dining table, it was extremely lively, it was like a New Year's Eve.
