Little rich farm girl

The weather is getting colder and the pedestrians in the street have added clothes. After the heat, the business of cold noodles is much worse than before. Jiang Mei looked at the scattered tables of guests at noon today, lying on the counter complaining to Liu Yuanyuan, "sister Yuanyuan, the business of our noodle shop is getting worse and worse day by day. If it goes on like this, we won't close in winter." Liu Yuanyuan looked at the depression in the store, and she was worried. She had to find a way to change her business line.

When he was frowning, a loud voice came from the door, "boss Liu hasn't seen you for many days. I'm fine."

It was golden chess that entered the door. Not seen for many days, Jinqi was thinner than before. He walked in with two and a half people high wooden boxes. Liu Yuanyuan quickly got up and helped Jinqi put two wooden boxes in the corner, wiped a table again and let Jinqi sit down.

When Jin Qi first entered the door, he didn't look carefully. Now he sat down and looked at Liu Yuanyuan face to face. He was surprised that the black spots on Liu Yuanyuan's face were gone. "Boss Liu's face." Liu Yuanyuan felt that Jinqi was very forthright when he first contacted him. He smiled and told Jinqi about the events of these days.

"Then the old man is really a wonder in the world. If you are lucky enough to meet him, Jinqi will open your eyes." Jinqi is surprised after hearing this, and has great interest in the strange old man who is not masked.

"By the way, I'm here to talk business with boss Liu." after talking about their recent situation, Jinqi and Liu Yuanyuan made a business contract for fruit wine and sesame paste. During their conversation, they learned that Jinqi is not just an idle peddler on the surface. Jinqi and Jinmao are the sons of the president of the largest Chamber of Commerce in Zeguo. The industry of Jinjia chamber of commerce is all over all walks of life in Zeguo. Jinqi and Jinmao don't like to be restrained. On the one hand, they like to browse the scenery and local customs, On the other hand, they are also looking for commodities suitable for introduction in Zeguo.

"That's settled. Every month I will send a team to boss Liu to pull goods. With the quality of boss Liu's fruit wine, I believe it will be very popular to return to Zeguo." Jinqi smiled and drank a cup of fruit wine and wiped his mouth.

"I went to Shu this time and brought back many of their specialties. I specially took some for boss Liu to taste." Jinqi got up and went to the corner to take the two half person tall wooden boxes that had just been dragged in.

"This is the unique pepper and flax in Shu. It can be used as seasoning to make the dishes more appetizing." Jin Qi said and took out a handful of pepper and flax from the two boxes.

It turned out that hemp pepper was called flax in this era. Liu Yuanyuan picked up a string of hemp pepper and observed it carefully. There was no big difference between the shape and smell of modern hemp pepper, but the smell was more blunt. It may grow naturally and be thicker than those planted in batches now.

"I haven't seen this flax, but isn't this pepper everywhere?" Jiang Mei picked up a pepper and felt that it was no different from that in her back kitchen.

Liu Yuanyuan looks at the pepper carefully. Its shape and color are very similar to the erjingtiao, a specialty of modern Sichuan. This kind of pepper has full color, obvious aroma and soft spicy taste after cooking. It is commonly used in Sichuan cuisine. Liu Yuanyuan used to be a person who didn't like spicy food. He was not interested in eating without spicy food. In order to eat, I often try to make various recipes of Sichuan cuisine. The most common one in various recipes is this erjingtiao pepper. Therefore, eating is the first driving force to urge Liu Yuanyuan to study and make progress.

Looking at two thorns and hemp pepper, Liu Yuanyuan suddenly flashed a light. It's cold in autumn and winter. Everyone wants to eat some warm food to improve their body temperature. What can be more satisfying than sitting around the table with three or five friends and having a hot pot when there is heavy snow outside?

"Brother Jin, why don't you stay here for dinner today and score my new dishes." Liu Yuanyuan chatted with Jin Qi and came to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for hot pot.

Liu Yuanyuan's favorite is Sichuan butter hotpot. The soup is mellow and spicy, but he doesn't get angry after eating it. Considering that some people may not be able to eat spicy food, Liu Yuanyuan decided to make a pot of white soup first.

He took an old hen and an old duck, bought five kilograms of pig bones from the nearby butcher, and asked Jiang Mei to go to the fish vendor and buy four crucian carp. The material of the soup is even ready.

Liu Yuanyuan slaughtered the four crucian carp, removed the internal organs and scales, put them in a hot pot, added water and ginger, boiled them over a scallion fire, and skimmed the floating foam with a spoon. It was boiled over a low fire for another hour. The soup was milky white, and the foundation of the soup was finished.

After the chickens and ducks are depilated and opened, cook them with the overheated water of pig bones, which is clear and clean. Put them in the pot, add water and ginger, and cook them until the fragrance comes out. Pour them together with the fish soup just cooked, and a pot of delicious hot pot white soup is finished.

"Sister Yuanyuan, what are you going to do? It smells delicious. Can I have a bowl first?" sister Jiang helped Liu Yuanyuan in the kitchen. She had long been drooling with the smell of soup.

"I'll let you drink enough later. Now go and buy some tender lamb and beef." how can there be less beef and mutton in the hot pot. Jiang Mei looked at the steaming soup in the pot and reluctantly went out of the door.

Here, Liu Yuanyuan made another pot, put vegetable oil, poured butter in, and fried until the butter melted, giving off a unique flavor. He added two spoonfuls of bean petals and kept stir frying until the bean petals gave off red oil. The room was full of the aroma of bean petals. Later, he added garlic and ginger, and finally grabbed a large number of Erjing and hemp pepper brought by Jinqi and put them into the pot, The spicy flavor rushed out immediately, added to the white soup just boiled, and boiled for a fragrant time. A pot of less authentic butter hotpot seasoning is finished.

Dig a round hole in the middle of a table, and build a simple stove with bricks under the table. The preparation for eating hot pot is basically completed.

Brother Jiang and sister Jin Qi Jiang sat at the table and watched Liu Yuanyuan busy. They didn't know what kind of new dish to serve.

Liu Yuanyuan had just brought a pot of red oil to the table. Sister Jiang was surprised and asked, "sister Yuanyuan, can you really drink this soup with so much oil?"

"This soup is not for you. Just wait quietly." Liu Yuanyuan turned back and brought the cut beef and mutton and washed vegetables. Pick up the chopsticks to demonstrate to the three people with a puzzled face.

"Put the meat and vegetables into the soup and cook them for a while. When they are cooked, they can be sandwiched out and served with my special seasoning." Liu Yuanyuan divided the sesame paste and special oil dish.

Although Liu Yuanyuan said she could eat, Jiang Mei looked at the hot and bubbling oil bottom and hesitated.
