Chapter 118 Hot Pot
As soon as Lin An and his companions' carriage arrived at the entrance of Jing'an Alley, they ran into Liu Yaqun who was looking for them.
When Liu Yaqi saw the Lin family, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to explain his purpose.
It turned out that when Lin Shuyue bought the restaurant before, he asked him to help keep an eye out for people who had been sold out and worked as shopkeepers and accountants in the pawnshop. It seems that there is news now.
After Liu Yaqi finished speaking, the Lin family turned their horses around and headed towards Yaxing.
When they arrived at the pawnshop and after tea was served, a servant led three people in.
Lin Shuyue looked at the three people carefully and found that they all had regular features and looked kind. After asking carefully, she found out that two of them had been shopkeepers and the remaining one was an accountant.
After she asked a few questions, she found that the three people were of good character. After asking Liu Yaqi, she confirmed that the three people were not sold for their own reasons. After hesitating for a moment, she bought all three of them.
Thinking about the future business of the restaurant, she hired two cooks.
Lin An and his wife and Lin Shuyuan just drank tea and did not express any opinions.
After confirming that no one was left out, the group took the five people back to Jing'an Lane.
After returning home and having lunch, Lin Shuyue locked herself in the room and started drawing. She drew for half a day and only came out of the room after the sun set in the afternoon and Lin Shuyan came back.
As soon as she came out, she took a piece of paper and took Qinghe and Qingzhi to the big kitchen.
In the kitchen, Aunt Wang was preparing dinner with two newly hired cooks. When she saw the young lady come in, she hurried forward to greet her.
Lin Shuyue took out a recipe and handed it to the two cooks. They took the recipe and looked at it carefully.
"Are all the ingredients in the recipe available in the kitchen?" Lin Shuyue asked after they finished reading.
The two cooks were surnamed He and Zhao. Mrs. He was more eloquent and took the initiative to reply, "Miss, these ingredients are all in the kitchen."
Lin Shuyue nodded and instructed: "Then follow this recipe and try it a few times with a small amount of ingredients."
Then he looked at Aunt Wang beside him and handed her another piece of paper: "Aunt Wang, please help me prepare the ingredients on the paper. Qinghe, Qingzhi, you can help as well."
"Yes." Several people bowed and responded, then began to get busy.
Half an hour later, a spicy and fragrant smell filled the entire kitchen, making the people in the kitchen swallow their saliva.
As night fell, Lin Shuyue pulled her family into the kitchen with a mysterious look on her face.
Before everyone reached the kitchen, a spicy and fragrant smell wafted into the air. Lin Shuyan's eyes lit up, and he pulled his eldest brother Lin Shuyuan and quickly walked to the kitchen. Lin An and his wife also quickened their pace.
As soon as they entered the kitchen, the rich spicy aroma hit their noses. When they looked, they saw a few chairs placed around a stove in the open space in the middle of the kitchen.
There is a small pot on the stove. The red soup in the pot is boiling, making gurgling sounds. The rich and spicy smell comes from this pot.
There were several plates of food on the table next to them, including mutton, duck meat, duck blood, duck intestines, fried crispy meat, tofu, green vegetables, spring bamboo shoots, soaked black fungus, sliced fish, etc., as well as bowls of onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame seeds, etc.
"Ayue, are we eating hot pot?" Lin An asked curiously.
Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's a bit like eating hot pot, but this is called hot pot, and it tastes much better than hot pot."
After that, she began to teach everyone how to prepare the dipping sauce according to their own taste, and then asked them to take their favorite ingredients from the table next to them and put them into the pot to cook.
While waiting, everyone stared at the ingredients tumbling in the pot, emitting enticing aromas, and felt that time was passing so slowly.
When the ingredients are cooked, at the command, the whole family quickly reaches into the pot with their chopsticks.
Lin Shuyan picked up a thin slice of mutton with chopsticks and put it into the bowl. Then he coated it with a layer of dipping sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. In an instant, the tenderness and spicy flavor of the mutton burst out in his mouth.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious." Then he quickly reached his chopsticks into the pot.
After taking a bite, Lin An, Li and Lin Shuyuan all praised the dish highly. Their chopsticks kept reaching for the pot. The steaming pot and the spicy taste in their mouths made them sweat on their foreheads.
Lin Shuyue picked up a piece of her favorite spring bamboo shoots, took a bite, and the familiar taste made her eyes red.
She lowered her head, and the scene of her mother taking her back to her grandmother's house in the countryside to dig spring bamboo shoots in her previous life emerged in her mind.
She remembered that after digging the spring bamboo shoots, a drizzle began to fall. Her grandmother and uncle set up a table by the window in the living room, and the family ate hot pot while chatting.
When she was fifteen, she ate spicy and crispy spring bamboo shoots and listened to her grandmother talking about village gossip. At that time, she thought that spring bamboo shoots were the best combination for hot pot.
"Ayue, come here." Mrs. Li, who was standing by, put a piece of mutton in her bowl with chopsticks, and did not notice anything unusual about her daughter.
Lin Shuyue collected her thoughts, finished the mutton in the bowl, and smiled sweetly at Li: "Thank you, mother."
Half an hour later, everyone put down their chopsticks, rubbed their full stomachs, and leaned back in their chairs with a satisfied look on their faces, not wanting to move.
After sitting for a while, Lin Shuyue invited everyone to go to the flower hall in the front yard to have a cup of tea to relieve their greasy feeling, as she had something to discuss with them.
In the next room, the servants of the mansion were also eating hotpot. When it was almost over, they saw their masters finished eating and left, so Qinghe, Qingzhi and Mother Luo hurried to follow. Aunt Wang and the other two also put down their chopsticks and went back to the kitchen to clean up.
Back in the flower hall, Mother Luo took Qinghe and Qingzhi and skillfully served them tea.
Lin Shuyue took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, is this hot pot delicious?"
"It's delicious, so delicious, flavorful and fragrant. If my stomach was full, I would have eaten it for a while longer." Lin Shuyan squinted his eyes, savoring the taste, and exclaimed in admiration.
Lin An and others also nodded in agreement.
Then Lin Shuyue asked, "What if we open a hot pot restaurant?"
Lin An and Li smiled, with an expression that said, "You want to turn the restaurant you bought into a hot pot restaurant, right?"
"I think it's feasible. People in Wuzhou like spicy food. I believe everyone will like the taste. However, we have to find good sources of ingredients." Lin Shuyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and expressed his opinion.
Lin Shuyue nodded and said, "In the early stage, we can buy chickens, ducks, geese and vegetables from various villages or county markets.
But my idea is to buy a farm near the county town, dedicated to growing vegetables and raising chickens, ducks and geese. The ingredients from my own farm are more reliable and safer to eat. "
"I have asked Qingshan to buy a batch of fish, shrimp and crab fry and put them in the lotus pond in the village. They can be delivered to the store to be used as ingredients in a few months." Lin An added.
