Not to mention, even Yang Yuan didn't expect that the stupid fish he was carrying at that time turned out to be a pregnant manta ray.

The grandfather and grandmother (?) both squatted sadly in their own pool and sighed at the same time.

"This is really a crime."

Song Ruan sighed, "No wonder the two manta rays beat you along the way...you are carrying someone's wife and son, can they not make trouble with you?"

Yang Yuan snorted, pulled out a piece of grass and stuffed it into his mouth, and was slapped off by Song Ruan again, he smashed his mouth, feeling very wronged, "I don't know if it's pregnant or not...Look They all look the same, and I can tell the difference between male and female, which is pretty good."

"..."

Song Ruan sighed again, took the feed bucket beside him, grabbed a small fish and threw it lightly towards the edge of the pond, the two fish called happily twice, then swam towards him quickly, and took a bite. The small fish swallowed it into its mouth.

After the manta ray finished eating a fish, it swam towards its owner again, flopped around the side of the pool twice, and hinted obediently and implicitly that it was time for a reward.

"..."

Song Ruan silently wiped off the water droplets on his face, picked up a twig and tapped on the edge of the pool, making a bang, "Turn over and let me have a look."

This manta ray has probably been baptized by the bad mountains and rivers, and it has a lot of humanity.As soon as Song Ruan finished speaking, it turned over obediently, exposing its smooth belly.

Looking left and right, Song Ruan couldn't see anything, so he picked up another small fish and threw it in, then stood up and patted his dusty clothes.

Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, Yang Yuan also stood up, "Shall we go back to the restaurant?"

"Back."

Song Ruan turned his head and smiled at him, "I have a clue about the new dish, do you want to try it?"

Yang Yuan looked at his almost radiant smile under the sun, and was almost stunned, but she still didn't forget to answer quickly: "Yes!"

The new product that Song Ruan will launch this time is called Yuanyangxishui Hot Pot.

Hot pot is actually another name for hot pot.

Yuanyang hot pot is to divide the hot pot into two parts, half clear soup and half red soup, so that people with different tastes can eat together.In fact, it is a new product developed by the Chongqing team participating in the national cooking competition in the modern 80s[1].In order to make the taste of the hot pot smoother and more unique, some new improvements have been made, borrowing from the practice of the famous Yulong Hot Pot [2], some improvements have been made to the clear soup, and the word "Mandarin Duck" has been retained in the name.

Ordinary mandarin duck hot pot, the main ingredients of clear soup soup base are generally made of old hen, old fat duck, ham stick bone or pork ribs [3], it is fragrant and very inclusive, because It is cheap and easy to use, so there are few other novel soup bases on the market now.

So Song Ruan rummaged through ancient books for several days, and finally found information about Yulong Hot Pot, and finally decided to replace the main ingredient of the soup with pork belly with skin.

Because the mandarin duck hot pot belongs to Sichuan cuisine, Song Ruan also asked the three brothers of the Huang family for advice on this aspect, but the three of them shook their heads and showed disapproval when they heard that the new product Song Ruan wanted to launch was a hot pot.

Their worries are not unreasonable. Now it has slowly entered the scorching summer, and the temperature difference between day and night is not too big - it is nothing more than the difference between hotter and hotter. People with poor families in ancient times could not afford it. Ice, the most common way to cool off is to drink a bowl of sour plum soup or to enjoy the coolness under the lush and vigorous trees.

Although there is a trend of husband and wife lungs in the capital, but if you go to the street to drag someone to eat hot pot, that person will definitely shake his head like a rattle.

What are you kidding?On such a hot day, it's fine if you don't drink something cold, but you have to eat something hot and spicy, get sweaty all over your body, and have to take a shower when you come back. Isn't it troublesome?

Residents in ancient times always had a natural fear when taking a bath, because the medical conditions here are low, and if the bath is frozen, it is easy to catch the wind and cold, not to mention the problem of a large cost of treatment and medicine, the wind and cold cannot be cured It will kill people.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the difficulty for Song Ruan to launch the Mandarin Duck Playing Water Hot Pot.

But Song Ruan was very persistent this time. Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Mr. Huang had no choice but to teach Song Ruan how to make a delicious hot pot soup base.

Yang Yuan was the first diner of the first-generation Mandarin Duck Playing Hot Pot that he brought out.

Yang Yuan followed him back earlier, and excitedly followed Song Ruan around the kitchen for a long time. Later, he found out that Song Ruan was going to make a hot pot, and there was a hot pot with red soup in it. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. Then he walked away in silence.Song Ruan yelled more than a dozen times from behind, but did not hear him respond.

So Song Ruan wiped his hands and took out the hot pot. When he saw Yang Yuan sitting upright in the lobby with a set of tableware neatly placed in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.

He put the hot pot on the table covered with a thick cloth, the pot was still steaming, and there was a bronze container under it, which put a little burning charcoal, and there were sparks on it. Let the hot pot continue to maintain temperature.

"I thought you weren't coming, and I was planning to ask Zhang Xiucai and the others to have a taste together."

Song Ruan joked.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I skipped two dinners a few days ago. If I don't eat this one again, I will lose money again."

Yang Yuan snorted and said sourly, "I knew you remembered those people. If I'm gone, would you still treat him like a son?"

That's what he said, but he still beckoned to Zhang Shusheng, "Go and call everyone over, this hot pot is very big, if it's not enough, put the meat in it and rinse it for a while, let's have a lively meal together, call you all The shopkeeper is happy."

Zhang Shusheng was still lying on the counter and watching the aroma wafting from the big hot pot on the table. When he heard Yang Yuan's words, he almost jumped up for joy. Everyone called out.

Song Ruan turned his head away and saw Yang Yuan's expression of unwillingness to share with others but wanted to please him. He couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and scratched Yang Yuan's chin, and said with a smile, "Hey, I will reward you as a lotus flower tonight." roll."

"Lotus Roll?"

Yang Yuan has never eaten this thing before, and he has never seen Song Ruan cook it before. As soon as he guessed it, he knew that it was a new thing he made. He was very interested and was about to continue asking, but the guys in the restaurant heard that they had something to eat. They all ran over excitedly and sat down chattering.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan had no choice but to swallow everything he wanted to say.

The shopkeeper made a new dish, and Mr. Yang must be the first one to taste it.

This is already an unspoken rule in the inn, so everyone divided the dishes, arranged them obediently, and swallowed their saliva while waiting for Yang Yuan to 'serve dinner'.

Yang Yuan put some cold-cut vegetables and some half-raw meat that Song Ruan had prepared in advance—this was because he was afraid that the heat would not be enough to cook the meat. All kinds of dishes were packed, and the leaves of green vegetables floated up and down along the water bubbles that rolled out continuously, which was very lively.

His first chopsticks were unsurprisingly stuck into the pot of clear soup. Song Ruan was not surprised by this, and he really hoped that the other party would give a pertinent evaluation on this aspect, so that he could improve next time.

Most of the dishes just arrived were undercooked, so Yang Yuan picked up a piece of well-boiled pork first.

The pork slices were sliced ​​thin and fat just enough, the pork belly was sandwiched right in the middle by the chopsticks, and its figure was as soft as the waist of a dancing girl. There was also a layer of clear soup-specific foam floating on its surface, which emitted bursts from time to time. Alluring fragrance.

This first bite cannot be eaten with sauce, otherwise it will affect his judgment on the food itself.

Yang Yuan blew symbolically, and then put the piece of meat into his mouth.

Pork belly is located in the belly of the pig. This part of the lean meat is the most tender and juicy, and it is not cooked for a long time. It is the main ingredient of many classic dishes, and it is also the main reason why Song Ruan chooses it as the soup base.

Yang Yuan put it in his mouth, and before he chewed it, he felt that the pork belly turned into a puddle of water on his tongue. The lungs and stomach were damaged, not only the mouth began to secrete saliva, but even the stomach started to growl.

He chewed a couple of mouthfuls, and the meat was really smooth and tender, even if it was eaten by an old man who lost half of his teeth, it wouldn't bother him at all.Before he could recall it, the meat had already been torn into countless pieces by his teeth, and quickly slid into his stomach while rolling his Adam's apple.

As soon as Yang Yuan tasted this piece, he knew that this piece of pork belly was probably soaked in Buzhou Shanshui, so it looked extraordinarily smooth and tender. Song Ruan did indeed use Buzhou Shanshui more skillfully as he expected. The light car is familiar.

After all, as long as cooking, the basic element of water is bound to be used.

"The soup base of the clear soup is already very good, and there is nothing wrong with it."

As Yang Yuan said, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth.

As soon as he finished his words, everyone picked up their chopsticks and fought for each other. For a while, countless red and slender objects on the hot pot flew around, hovered at low altitude, and collided with each other from time to time. The tragic one was directly knocked out.

Zhang Shusheng was pinching the remaining chopsticks in frustration. He was just about to get up to change a pair, but Yang Yuan was already a step ahead of him. He turned around and took a new chopstick from the chopstick holder on the table behind him. give him.

Then he patted the table again, signaling to the guys who are close to the ingredients not to forget to add more vegetables, or if everyone ate too fast, the charcoal fire was strong, and the soup base was reduced by half in a short while, so he got up to get the kettle to refill the water.

A black figure shuttled between the tables, complaining to Song Ruan about the way everyone was eating from time to time, but holding a hot kettle in his hand, reminding everyone to step aside, he was going to add water.

Zhang Shusheng picked up a meatball from the pot with quick eyes and hands, and looked at Yang Yuan while eating. The more he looked, the more he felt that the other party was busy like a little bee.

He also remembered that when Nanshan Restaurant was first built, he and the shopkeeper were busy, while Mr. Yang was like an old man. Every time the meal is served, everyone is so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, only to see Yang Yuan walking in with a lot of fruits in his hands; In broad daylight, I just lie at the entrance of the restaurant and take a nap in the sun, completely ignoring whether it will affect the business of the restaurant...

Now, Mr. Yang has lost the arrogance and coquettishness he had when he first met him. He can cook with the shopkeeper with his sleeves up, and he knows how to take care of the guys on weekdays. pretend to be good.Zhang Shusheng somehow felt that Mr. Yang had really changed.

He turned his head slightly, seeing Song Ruan's smile from the heart, and the gentle eyes looking at Yang Yuan, his heart was like a mirror.

Mr. Yang has changed, because with the shopkeeper, he has become better, more like a real person.
