Chapter 520 Hot Pot
Chapter 520 Hot Pot
Yan Xiaosi said: "Uncle Yu, have you ever heard of hot pot?"

According to Yan Xiaosi's understanding, hot pot is not popular in Xize County, but she doesn't know whether hot pot is popular in other places in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Shopkeeper Yu is an aborigine and is also in the restaurant business, so he should have a good understanding of the food culture of various places in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Ask clearly, if the Great Chu Dynasty is not fond of eating hot pot, it can use this opportunity to promote new dishes to promote hot pot.

Especially in the winter cold maple in the western frontier of Chu, eating hot pot is the most appropriate.

"Hot pot, what is hot pot?"

The anticipation on Shopkeeper Yu's face suddenly turned into curiosity.

"I've lived for decades, and I haven't heard of this stuff yet."

Hearing Shopkeeper Yu's words, Yan Xiaosi's eyes lit up immediately.

Shopkeeper Yu has never heard of this way of eating hot pot in the restaurants he has opened for so many years. It seems that the Great Chu Dynasty did not like this kind of food.

In particular, the winter in the western frontier of the Great Chu Dynasty was long and cold, and it was most appropriate to eat hot pot.

She saw a good prospect and was in a good mood.

"Uncle Yu, what is hot pot? It's a bit troublesome to talk about. How about you sit here for a while, and I'll go downstairs to get some ink."

If hot pot is to be promoted in Yu's private restaurant, the special pan and charcoal stove needed for cooking hot pot must be customized. Go down and get the pen and ink, just draw the blueprint.

Shopkeeper Yu got up first: "Xiaosi, you came from Shaoyao Village against the cold wind, you must have been cold, you sit here and rest, I'll go downstairs to get the pen and ink."

While speaking, he had already reached the door.

Yan Xiaosi had no choice but to sit back on the chair.

Shopkeeper Yu went downstairs and saw the three sisters Yan Shuqin warming up by the fire in the lobby. He first ordered the waiter to take care of them, and then he took his brush and ink and went back to the private room just now.

"Miss Yan and the others are warming up and drinking tea in the lobby on the first floor. Don't worry, Xiao Si, draw slowly."

Yan Xiaosi gave shopkeeper Yu a grateful look.

"Thank you, Uncle Yu, for your hospitality."

Shopkeeper Yu not only treated her well, but also treated her sisters quite well.

Shopkeeper Yu handed her the paper and pen, and then rubbed the ink for her.

Yan Xiaosi took the pen and paper, imagining what the hot pot looks like.

Considering that some people can take spicy food and some can't, she drew a picture of Tai Chi Yuanyang Hot Pot.

Then, I drew a small and exquisite carbon stove on another clean piece of paper.

The style of the carbon stove is very similar to that of a tripod, except that a door is designed on the front end, which can be opened to add carbon stones inside.

Shopkeeper Yu studied ink on the side, watching with relish.

After Yan Xiaosi finished drawing, he put the brush on the inkstone, picked up the drawing of the Tai Chi mandarin duck pot, and explained to shopkeeper Yu: "Uncle Yu, this is the pot for cooking hot pot. They can eat spicy food, but some people can’t eat spicy food, so they painted it as Tai Chi Yuanyang Hot Pot. The left and right sides of Tai Chi Mandarin Duck Hot Pot are completely separated.

Shopkeeper Yu only knew half of what he heard, so he didn't express his opinion.

Yan Xiaosi continued: "The way to eat hot pot is actually to boil it. There is a charcoal stove on the table, and there is a Tai Chi mandarin duck frying pan on top of the charcoal stove. After the soup inside boils, pork, mutton, Throw in all kinds of vegetables and cook them, and eat them with special condiments after they are cooked, it will have a special taste.”

While explaining the hot pot to shopkeeper Yu, he swallowed his saliva.

In such a cold winter, the happiest thing is that the whole family sits around the table and eats hot pot.

After hearing so much from Yan Xiaosi, shopkeeper Yu finally had a sense of meaning.

"This hot pot is good. You can eat it while cooking. It's hot. It's the most suitable for the current weather."

"Ah."

Yan Xiaosi said: "Not only that, any meat and vegetables can be thrown into the hot pot and boiled with a special bottom of the pot, and then served with special sesame oil, the taste will not be bad."

The more Shopkeeper Yu listened, the more hesitant to try.

He can predict that in the near future, hot pot will definitely be prosperous and become a delicacy of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"Xiao Si, the charcoal fire stove drawn by Taiji Yuanyang Guo and you, each of them will order [-], what do you think?"

Yan Xiaosi was thinking silently.

Yu's private restaurant has three floors. The lobby on the first floor can accommodate up to twenty tables. The private rooms on the second and third floors add up to less than thirty. Fifty custom-made sets are more than enough.

"Yes, but the ordinary frying pan also needs to be customized for ten bites. Some customers can eat spicy food, so as not to think that the Tai Chi Yuanyang Pot is not easy to use."

Shopkeeper Yu put away the finished blueprints.

"Okay, in the afternoon I'll go to the blacksmith's shop where the pot is cast. It's the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. I don't know if the blacksmith's shop is still open."

Yan Xiaosi waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, the promotion of hot pot can be done after a year."

She stopped talking and looked at Shopkeeper Yu.

"Uncle Yu, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow. How are you and your aunt planning to celebrate the New Year? Don't you want to go back and spend time with your family?"

In the past, shopkeeper Yu would close the restaurant before New Year's Eve, and go back to spend the New Year with his family, but this year he has partnered with Yan Xiaosi, and the business of Yu's private restaurant has not been very good recently, so he persisted until now.

Shopkeeper Yu frowned and sighed slightly: "If you take care of the restaurant, you can't take care of your family members. In life, it's always so difficult to have the best of both worlds."

From his eyebrows, Yan Xiaosi could see that he was extremely eager to go back and reunite with his family.

Also, those guys and cooks, I'm afraid they all want to go back and reunite with their families.

"It's just that the business of the restaurant is not very good recently, Uncle Yu, let's just give everyone a holiday and let everyone go back to spend the New Year with their families, and then come back to work on the seventh day of the first lunar month. You and your aunt have been busy for a year, so go back and have a good time." Stay with your family."

Shopkeeper Yu couldn't ask for more.

"Xiao Si, you are righteous, more righteous than many men. Uncle is lucky to be able to do business with you in this lifetime."

While talking, Shopkeeper Yu took out a few banknotes and a few ingots of silver from his pocket, and pushed them in front of Yan Xiaosi.

"Our restaurant has made money, these are your share, a total of two thousand and twenty taels of silver."

Immediately, shopkeeper Yu pushed the account books of the last month's receipts and expenditures of Yu's private restaurant to Yan Xiaosi.

Just now I went down to get the pen and ink, and brought these things up together.

"Xiao Si, these two books, one is the income of our restaurant, and the other is the expenditure. I remember everything clearly. Take a look."

Yan Xiaosi took the 2000 taels of silver note, and pushed the ledger and the 20 taels of scattered silver back to Shopkeeper Yu.
