Chapter 341 Red Soup Beef Hot Pot, Can't Stop

What Meng Yiyi asked was Black Star.

In terms of Black Star's appetite, these dishes are definitely not enough.

So Black Star shook his head.

"Oh..." Meng Yiyi scratched her disheveled head like a bird's nest, "Then we should pick more."

When Xu Le and Lin Xihan came back and saw all kinds of vegetables piled high in the small courtyard, they were both stunned.

"So much..." Xu Le covered his face and moaned weakly.

Fortunately, tuber vegetables are easy to store, and leafy vegetables can be further pickled into sauerkraut.

Chili can be dried. Vegetables like chives and garlic are not suitable for shabu-shabu, but it is also good to eat hot pot with barbecue.

Beef and mutton are tired of eating, roasted garlic and roasted chives are really delicious.

Start to process the dishes to be rinsed!

The cleaning and selection of vegetables was handed over to Meng Yiyi, and Lin Xihan continued to deal with the gazelle she had hunted.

Like the bison, the fresh meat is peeled and cut out one by one, and placed neatly on a clean slate.

When processing the meat and vegetables, Xu Le put the fat strips cut from the bison into the pan to boil the oil, and the thick fat aroma of the butter lingered.

At the same time, the beef bones are washed with blood, put into a pot under cold water, and put on the fire to make broth.

Cooking with two pots and two wires, Chef Xu is very busy.

A little half of the oil boiled out of the oil pan is separated, stored in clay pots, and cooled with ice cubes.

Condensed tallow is meant to be added to the pot when eaten.

Continue to heat the remaining half of the butter.

While waiting for the oil temperature to rise, Xu Le soaked the two vitex twigs in water, drained them, and mashed them to the size of a finger belly.

Fortunately, it was Meng Yiyi who opened the door, and the Erjingtiao peppers currently weighed two or three catties, and had a very strong spicy taste.

Slice wild onions and slice ginger.

When the butter was heated until it almost reached the ignition point and the smoke rose, Xu Le raised the oil pan, and then let the oil temperature drop to [-]% hot.

Put all the wild onion segments and ginger slices into the pot and cook over low heat.

The water vapor in the two ingredients is continuously forced out, and the scallions and ginger slices are gradually dehydrated, become shriveled, and the color turns brown.

After the fragrance is completely squeezed out, take out the ingredients and add two vitex peppers.

The aroma of oil, onion, ginger, and chili was mixed together, and Meng Yiyi grumbled softly, asking, "Can I eat it?"

This is where... Xu Le pushed the little cutie's head back and continued to stir fry.

"But my dishes have already been cut..." Meng Yiyi felt aggrieved.

So fast? !

Ning would not delay anything related to eating... Xu Le comforted her and said, "It's fine, it's fine."

The spiciness intensified, and the bright red peppers were tinged with brown.

Xiaye Zanthoxylum bungeanum.

The spicy taste is mixed with the numbness of prickly ash, not to mention Meng Yiyi, even Lin Xihan, who has always been reserved, couldn't help swallowing.

Continue to cook, and after the color of the ingredients in the oil further deepens, Xu Le removes the pot from the fire again.

"Let's add some sweet things to adjust the spicy taste, and neutralize the bitterness in the seasoning when it is fried and boiled at high temperature.

"Usually rock sugar is added. Here we use honey instead. Honey can also brighten the base color, and the base material looks better."

Add the wild honey and simmer until all the ingredients are fully combined, then cover and cool.

At this time, the beef bone broth has been boiled to almost completion.

Remove all clay pots from heat.

On the copper pot!

Meng Yiyi rubbed her hands excitedly.

Add a small amount of butter to the copper pot, stir-fry the remaining wild onion and ginger, and then add the bottom material that has just been boiled.

The base material has been semi-solidified and is now re-melting.

During the cooking process, although the aroma is lingering, it is not very prominent.

At this moment, it melted again. Although it was only a small fire, the fragrance contained in it exploded like an explosion.

Lin Xihan and Meng Yiyi took a deep breath, only to feel that the nostrils were completely occupied by the words spicy and delicious, and they could no longer smell any other smells.

After the base material was completely melted, Xu Le added a handful of unfried vitex and peppercorns to enhance the flavor.

Finally, pour in the freshly boiled broth all at once, boil on high heat, and add raw butter cubes.

The smoke rises, and the Jiugongge hot pot is ready.

Even if you are far away in the wilderness, you can't delay this worldly fireworks!

Although the ingredients are not as rich as those outside the island, but after careful cooking with the Lv4 [cooking] skill, the taste of this pot of red soup is not inferior at all.

Even because of Xu Le's exquisite firepower control, the flavors of all the base ingredients are integrated into one, more mellow.

The fine oil bubbles float and then explode, and the wild spicy taste in the bottom material is relieved by the broth, which no longer impacts the sense of smell in a high-profile way, but stimulates the appetite even more.

Open up!

"Old rules, first meat and then vegetables."

After setting out the dishes and chopsticks, the diners sat down, and the sky was getting dark, but the firelight reflected the faces of Meng Yiyi and Lin Xihan bright red.

Xu Le brought over a stone slab filled with strips of beef and mutton.

The stone slab weighing more than a hundred catties was as light as nothing in his hands, but no one paid attention to it now.

Barrage--

"Wow, fresh cut meat."

"All briquetting and cold cutting is heresy."

"It probably took less than three hours from slaughter to serving."

"The freshness of this meat is incredible."

"The meat itself still has the temperature of when it was alive."

"It doesn't matter whether it's clear soup or red soup. Next, let's look at Xu Shen's knife skills."

"So, which piece do you plan to eat first?"

"..."

Holding the horizontal knife, Xu Le made gestures on the meat and raised his eyebrows: "Which piece should I eat?"

Lin Xihan and Meng Yiyi looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Difficulty choosing!

I want to eat everything... It's a pity that the pot is so big.

"Forget it, follow the tradition."

He raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, and what came off was the furthest beef tongue on the stone slab.

The beef tongue slices are only less than one millimeter thick, which is exactly the thickness of rolling in boiling water. Pick up the pot with chopsticks, and the red soup boils red meat.

Three ups and three downs to fish out.

Lin Xihan took the meat slices and recalled while eating: "I remember that I usually eat this kind of beef hot pot, it's all clear soup..."

Beef tongue entrance.

"..." She stopped suddenly, then looked up at Xu Le.

"felt it?"

Xu Le smiled, "Normal beef hot pot is of course yellow beef in clear soup. But what we eat today is not yellow beef.

"The bison on the island, under the influence of their own species and growth environment, has a very strong fishy smell, which is difficult to cover up.

"Clean water shabu-shabu, not only can't show its own tenderness, but the smell of meat will be completely destroyed by the fishy smell.

"Use the rapid spiciness to wash away the discordant smell. Under the spiciness, the beef is the best delicious."

While speaking, he reversed the tip of the knife and continued to cut out thin slices of beef tongue.

At this time, Lin Xihan no longer cared about whether this way of eating was authentic enough.

The spicy taste breaks through the taste buds, and the fresh texture makes the teeth hard to stop. A thin slice of beef tongue is not enough!

When she realized it, she and Meng Yiyi had already swept away a small piece of ox tongue!

"Also... still..."

"Then next comes the tender meat, which is the rump."

The tip of the horizontal knife hesitated for a moment, as if to arouse the expectations of the two of them.

Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes that seemed to be on fire, Xu Le finally made the knife.

The bright red tender meat is thickly cut, mainly lean meat with almost no fat.

Put it into the pot, rise and fall three times, and remove it.

This is a completely different taste from beef tongue. The lean meat is soft and melts silently in the mouth.

And the spiciness wrapped in the meat slices, like a gentle knife, was caught off guard at the beginning, and ignited all the way along the throat.

With just one sip, light sweat already oozes from the foreheads of Lin Xihan and Meng Yiyi!

"Continue?" Xu Le's voice sounded like an evil ghost that would lead people to fall.

Two people, nod!

"Not bad. But the tender meat is here. There are many types of meat, and the stomach must be left free for the next part.

"The next ones are three-flowered toes and five-flowered toes."

These two parts are located at the front and rear legs of the cow, and are covered with tendons, and the meat slices are like blooming lotus flowers.

"Try it."

"The taste...has changed again!"

Meng Yiyi murmured, "It was still very tender just now, but now it has a rich chewiness...

"And it smells like milk!"

The red soup hangs on the surface of the meat, but it is difficult to cover the milky white of the tendons.

It is more springy than beef tongue, and people can't help but want to chew it in their mouths.

However, the spicy taste keeps bombarding the taste buds. The longer it stays in the mouth, the denser the sweat drops on the forehead.

Meng Yiyi and Lin Xihan raised their heads and said in unison: "Continue!"

Chapter 342 Recasting the Horizontal Knife

Red soup hot pot has a kind of magic, which makes people want to stop.

He was already sweating profusely, the spicy food hit his mouth, his tongue was overwhelmed, and his sense of taste was almost numb.

But no matter what, I just don't want to stop.

For a good hot pot, just the smell from the boiling red soup is enough to captivate people's spirits and make diners unable to move away.

And when you really sit by the side of the pot, and the ingredients are poured into the pot like flowing water and then eaten, until the moment you are satisfied, the sky will fall and you will not even want to make people move their nests.
