I have become a god with hot pot

In the cold air, it is indeed an uplifting thing to smell such a delicious scent of butter.

After the butter was completely melted and heated, Guo Guo took out a whole box of dried chilies and Chinese prickly ash from his treasured ingredients box, and poured them into the boiling butter.

When the hot oil meets the chili pepper, there is a chi chi lala sound instantly. The fiery red chili is soaked in butter, and the red and spicy color is bright and bright. Fragrance can obviously arouse people's appetite in an instant.

Unlike the exiled islands that I stayed in before, the people here on the island of the Blood Moon Realm have the habit of eating spicy food. The land area is not small. In addition to the sea, there are many inland lakes on the vast land, and the humidity here is very high. People have the habit of eating spicy food to dispel dampness.

The signature dish of their competitor Coles Bistro on the same street is the spicy barbecue, which shows that people have mastered the seasoning method of using appropriate peppers to enhance the flavor of the dishes.

Guo Guo had eaten their barbecue once, but he didn't take it seriously. He just ground the chili into powder and sprinkled it on the barbecue. It is really a very elementary understanding and application of chili.

Paired with the peppery aroma, the butter absorbs enough fat. The Guo Guo wok uses a large spoon to stir and fry slowly in the pot, and then pours in the washed and cut ginger slices in advance.

The ginger slices were golden in color in the butter that was gradually dyed red. Guo Guo saw that the heat was almost ready, and the peppers had been slightly discolored by him, and the pungent aroma of this pot of prickly ash peppers had already entered the air.

The next step is to cut off a large piece of spicy pot bottom material that has been boiled in advance in the back kitchen of the store, and pour it into the pot of hot oil.

Guoguo immediately turned down the heat, slowly boiled the bottom ingredients, and when the temperature of the oil was a little cooler, he mixed the previously boiled broth into the pot of bright red oil.

This base material looks ordinary, but the secret of cooking in it plays a key role. The taste carefully prepared by Guo Guo before is melted in the hot butter to lock the aroma, like a Like a taste bomb, it rose from the pot.

The onlookers were shocked: "What is this smell? How can it be so fragrant?"

And the pedestrians standing on tiptoes curiously watching here attracted more diners flocking to the street. The people outside saw the red oil pot under the high light at a glance, and were immediately seduced by this bright color, and their index fingers moved: "Then What is it? Can it be eaten?"

Guo Guo put in an appropriate amount of fermented glutinous rice one by one. This is the finished product after he has continuously improved the recipe for more than half a month before marinating the taste.

People don't know why this thing is placed, but the subsequent additions are as dizzying as flowing clouds and water.

Whole peeled garlic cloves and sliced ​​scallions are only slightly fried in the pan. Before they are fried until they change color, it is time to start the pan.

Guo Guo used a wet cloth to pad the handle of the hot iron pot, and poured the red oil in the pot into three small porcelain hot pots with the lids lifted.These hot pots are small hot pot styles specially customized by him and the original owner when he bought this ceramic shop.

Jiang Si cooperated tacitly, and immediately lit the small charcoal pot without Guo Guo's opening. After these high-heat red butter pots were reheated, good-looking oil bubbles rolled on the oil surface again.

Originally there was only one thin customer in the store, but now more customers outside the door were already eager to try.

This kind of eating method called "hot pot" is very magical. It is different from the food that was heated and served in the back kitchen in the past. There is a small hot pot on each table with a fire under it. This novel and rare eating method immediately attracted a group of customers. attention.

Guo Guo saw that the timing was almost the same, and his wave of hunger marketing had already whetted the appetites of dozens of people outside, so he introduced: "This is 'red oil spicy oxtail pot', and now the red oil pot has been assembled , I’m going to fry the oxtail now.”

People suddenly became more curious: "The oxtail is full of bones, and you can't eat the meat for a long time. What's so delicious? Why do you insist on choosing this kind of thing that no one buys, instead of a whole piece of beef?"

Some guests finally shook their heads in disappointment when they heard the word oxtail again, but before they lost interest and walked away, Guo Guo had already started the next exciting live performance.

Guo Guo left the iron pot on the stove, but he walked to a table that Lan White had just moved out of the shop, spread the large cutting board on the table, and took out a long cutting board from the big bucket. The red oxtail, the appearance of the oxtail after the fur has been removed, is quite novel to see suddenly.

Guo Guo said: "Don't underestimate the oxtail. It not only has the function of nourishing the middle and nourishing Qi of beef, but also has the effect of nourishing the lungs and kidneys of beef marrow. Eating more can make people healthier, and the choice of oxtail is to extract The savory and sticky texture of beef marrow."

The red oil boiling in the small hot pot continues to spread the spicy taste in the air, attracting an endless stream of guests who don't know the truth.

Guo Guo put it in a large bucket, soaked it in salt water to filter the blood water, and picked up an oxtail that had been marinated with spices for several hours.

He put such a long oxtail on the cutting board with a "snap", and then he stood there, such a gentle and harmless little chef, picked up a kitchen knife bigger than his own head, Raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, chopping it down steadily and ruthlessly.

With the intensive sound of the kitchen knife hitting the cutting board, a whole oxtail on the cutting board quickly changed from a complete long strip into small pieces. Such a crisp and neat movement is enough to see that he is a very Experienced chefs with strong hands can easily chop beef bones.

Guo Guo put the chopped oxtail bone on the plate, took it and walked back to the one-meter-large iron pot where he had just cooked the hot pot base, poured a spoonful of rapeseed oil into the hot pot, and waited for the oil to heat up. Just poured this plate of cut oxtail bones into it.

The oxtail bone makes a tempting sound of being wrapped in hot oil in the pot. The thick fat in the meat in the oxtail bone turns into a delicious golden color after heating. The Guo pot then puts onion, ginger, sugar, pepper, and pepper in order to make it homemade After seasoning such as soy sauce, a little spring water was poured in at the end.

Guo Guo fried the ox tail bones until the juice was reduced, and poured the big pot of beef bones into a small hot pot that was still boiling with red oil.

Guo Guo personally carried the small pot and walked to the table of the first customer who came to the store, "This hot pot is Yau Ma Tei fragrant oxtail pot, please."

The thin guest was moved when he heard the sound, picked up the chopsticks, and directly inserted them into the red oil boiling pot, picked out a piece of oxtail bone soaked in red oil, and directly sent it to his mouth to eat.

Guo Guo didn't expect him to be so anxious, and quickly added: "Guest, although we can eat this oxtail bone with chopsticks, it will taste better if dipped in the sauce I prepared. In addition to the secret sauce, We also have a lot of other ingredients in our store, you can add vegetables, meat or staple food according to the preferences of customers, and you can put them in the 'hot pot' in front of you and cook them before eating."

"I recommend it more. There are hand-cut beef, shrimp slippery, special beef balls, fresh mushrooms, vegetable platter, hand-rolled noodles... I will show you the menu later, and see what you want to eat. Put these in the pot In the middle, after boiling in the pot, the food will stick to the spicy and strong aroma of 'Yau Ma Tei Xiang'."

Guoguo explained to the curious customers inside and outside the store with a friendly smile: "Hotpot is a way of eating. The bottom of the pot is full of flavor. Fresh ingredients are eaten immediately, which is its characteristic. Don't worry if you eat it for the first time, our clerk I will guide you through the process.”

"I don't need anything else." The first customer of the new restaurant, who bowed his head and ate fiercely, had already piled up cleanly gnawed oxtail bones on the plate after Guo Guo said a few words, " I don't want meat and vegetables, I just want oxtail, boss, give me three more."

The people outside could no longer bear their curiosity, so they yelled at the guest inside: "Brother, is this hot pot too spicy? How does it taste? Is it delicious!?"

But the first guest ignored him at all, and could only concentrate on eating hard. It seemed that every second wasted answering at this time would be a great loss to him.

But his own actions can already be regarded as the best answer.

The fragrance in the air has already caused hungry people to twitch their index fingers. Seeing the diner's seemingly positive feedback, people outside the store who were eager to try it finally plucked up the courage to rush into the store, "It smells so good, Then try it out, boss, I'll have a pot too!"

Immediately, someone was not to be outdone, "Brother clerk, look this way, this way! Boss, can I call that handsome blond guy to be the waiter at our table later?"

Several young girls looked at Lan White in the store very excitedly, and turned their heads to look at the young chef and Jiang Si'er with ginger red hair who were performing in public outside the store, "The boss will let you come to us later Can you tell me something delicious? Your restaurant... looks too good, seeing that you can all eat, I will definitely eat a lot today!"

In a short time, four or five tables entered the store. Guo Guo moved very quickly to make the hot pot soup again. At the same time, he prepared the oxtail and side dishes separately with amazing efficiency.

Except for the first guest who made it clear that he only wanted to eat oxtail, the rest of the guests, with the help of Lan White and Jiang Si, selected dishes to be put into the hot pot.

The arrangement of these dishes has already been prepared in the back kitchen. At this time, Zoe, who can't show up outside, will arrange the delivery of the dishes in person. When Guo Guo finishes the work at hand, he can also go in person A performance of chopping and arranging vegetables was performed.

The first batch of girls who ate oxtails, after sending them to the entrance with their oxtails in between, immediately ignored all the handsome guys in the store, and took chopsticks to grab the oxtails that quickly bottomed out with their companions in the pot : "Although there are many bones in the oxtail meat, it tastes so delicious! The meat is full of juice, and it is fresh and spicy when served in a red oil pan. This... how is this made? Why is the oxtail so delicious? It’s a perfect match to put this thing into the bottom of the red oil pot and eat it together!”

Soon Guoguo prepared the bottom of the pot for the first wave of customers who entered the store. Under the guidance of the store staff, these customers quickly mastered the method of eating hot pot.

As for the other tables of guests who were not interested in oxtail, they ordered a few fresh dishes according to the freshly prepared menu in the store.They simmered the soup with the fresh beef in the pot for less than half a minute. Seeing that the cooked beef slices were soaked with a layer of oily red pepper, they couldn't wait to put it in their mouths.

Several people stared round their eyes: "... so spicy! But... why is it so delicious! Spicy and refreshing, I can't stop it!"

"This fragrant and spicy pot, even if it is eaten with seafood, it has a unique flavor. I never knew that sea scallops and scallops can be eaten like this. The taste is really strong!"

"Wait, are you my brother? If you are a brother, don't grab it. I'll try the special beef balls made by the shop owner. It's delicious! - One bite, the beef balls and beef soup almost splash out... I'm just being a Explain, why is there nothing in the hot pot!? You son of a bitch, don’t snatch it, leave the last beef ball to me!”

Watching the few young people entering at this table, they fought directly on the table just to grab the last beef ball.

How delicious is the food in this hot pot with red oil?The people standing outside just imagined it, and kept swallowing, their eyes became more and more eager.

"Brother clerk, another bowl of soy sauce, we've eaten all the soy sauce on the table!"

"There are three more plates of beef, two plates of shrimp, one plate of fresh scallops, and the buddies over there, do you think the beef balls are delicious? Then we will try the beef balls too. Two plates first!"

The customers in the store all ate with ruddy faces and glowing eyes. With the crowd gathered outside the store and waiting for a seat, this was simply the most lively publicity on the street.

After Guo Guo finished his work, he raised his head and communicated with the guests: "How is the spiciness? Are you still used to it?"

"Boss, don't be lazy, just go and fry the oxtail!" The diners in the shop raised their heads in unison, looked at Guo Guo and urged them anxiously, "It's so delicious, I can't stop!"

The guy who was the first to enter the shop had already added oxtail twice. He looked at the crowd around him, struggling to grab the fresh beef, beef balls and seafood in the hot pot. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said stubbornly. , "... three more oxtails."

The owner of the Coles Tavern diagonally across the street had originally robbed the customers of the entire street, but after being in the limelight for more than ten minutes, he just watched Guo Guo's new store, and it was so effortless Reversed the situation and attracted most of the guests on the street.

The guests who he brought in at a discount were all dragged to their side by Guo Guo after they walked to this street. This action was actually making wedding dresses for others, and the owner of the Coles Tavern was so angry that his face was crooked up.

Doesn't this life-or-death outsider not ask who is the boss in this area?

He suppressed the jealousy in his heart, whispered a few words to the people around him, and then his face became complacent again, with a bit of fierceness, as if he was waiting for a good show, and he watched it calmly. To Guo Guo's side.

The business of the newly opened hot pot restaurant was booming, and the twelve tables in the store were quickly filled, and the attracted people formed a queue outside the store.

Zooey, who was hidden in the back kitchen, poked out half of her face and cast a winking glance at Guo Guo across the entire store. Then he smiled and extended a thumbs up to Guo Guo, celebrating the success of the store opening and the success of the teacher. The boss of the pot is cheering up.

This overly hot scene made the two capable and efficient waiters extremely busy.Guo Guo was a little worried about Lan White's state at first, but he couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he found that he was actually very devoted to becoming a shop assistant.

Seeing that these two are the cubs he brought out from the uninhabited primitive island, Guo Guo decided to cook a delicious meal for them after today's busy day, so as to make up for it.

But the originally lively scene was suddenly broken by the noise.

But at this time, the long line of customers outside the shop suddenly scattered in panic. After the crowd parted, Jiang Si looked over nervously and saw a group of local gangsters dressed like men, carrying long knives and wooden sticks. , the look is not good.

Jiang Si had never seen this situation before, but he could tell that this group of people was looking for faults, and he looked at his backbone, Guo Guo, in panic, "Brother Guo, what should we do?"

Guo Guo didn't even raise his head, and was concentrating on frying the three oxtails that had just been put in the iron pot. He casually ordered: "Don't panic, concentrate on working, and leave the fighting to the professionals."

Lan White was the only one in the room who was not flustered. He even felt uncontrollable excitement. He put the menu in his hand on the table of the diners next to him, and walked to the front of the store with bare hands.

The customers queuing outside the door were unwilling to cause trouble, and many of them gave up queuing and hid far away.

But what is surprising is that those customers who have already eaten the hot pot in the store have clearly realized that the danger is imminent, but one or two are unwilling to move their buttocks away from the dining table with a small hot pot It seems that this hot pot has infinite magic power, enough to make them ignore all dangers.

Seeing the turmoil outside the door, they quickly accelerated their eating speed, as if they wanted to eat all the delicious things in the pot. For this hot pot, they were even willing to stay in the shop and bear the risk of being affected, and they were not willing to eat it. He left without finishing his meal.

This kind of foodie spirit is really touching, and Guo Guo is also very moved when he sees it.
