The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Duan Chun looked at the boiling soup pot and poured all the mutton slices into it with chopsticks.

In an instant, a burst of meaty aroma hit my nostrils.

In this ancient time when eating was simple, he had not smelled such a familiar aroma of meat for a long time.

The curious craftsmen sitting aside, including Zhang Wu, Zhao Changlong and a group of guards, couldn't help but sniff.

The rich smell of meat makes my mouth water...

"It smells so good. I just ate so much."

"Why are you still drooling?"

One of the craftsmen was surprised.

"Uncles, let's all have a try."

"Look at the hot pot made by this junior. How does the food taste?"

Duan Chun said, but the chopsticks in his hands were not idle.

First I grabbed a big bowl for myself, dipped it in the sauce and swallowed it in big gulps...

Oh my gosh, it’s simply delicious!

Duan Chun took the first bite and closed his eyes with a sigh in his heart...

It has been several days since he came to this world, and he has never eaten such delicious food!

It's not that he's lazy, or that he can't do it.

But in this era, there is no pot, what do you ask him to do?

"My mother, I have never eaten such good meat in my life!"

"This meat is so fragrant...so tender and delicious!"

"Major General, what is this?"

For a moment, all the craftsmen who had just taken a bite of meat were confused.

Everyone was shocked beyond measure...

"Uncle, that's not how you eat hot pot. You have to dip it in the sauce."

"Save some meat for me..."

Duan Chungang was about to explain to them the situation of hot pot delicacies.

But they found that this group of people could no longer stop using their chopsticks and took away all the mutton in the hot pot...

"Young Master, I will go buy meat again..."

Zhang Wu finished a bowl of meat and was just about to pick it up again.

But they found that the mutton they bought had already disappeared.

The aroma of the meat being cooked in hot pot attracted even the craftsmen who were forging iron in the courtyard.

Everyone gathered around and kept swallowing their saliva while watching the hot pot...

"Go and buy it quickly."

"Everyone just eat enough."

Duan Chun chuckled.

Duan Chun now only sees the greedy images of the craftsmen.

You already know that as soon as the shabu-shabu is launched, a huge wave will be caused in the entire imperial city!

After all, these craftsmen just went to forge with full stomachs.

And the aroma of boiled mutton has already made them so crazy...

"Here!"

Zhang Wu and Zhao Changlong hurriedly took their guards to buy meat...

What shocked Duan Chun was that a dozen craftsmen ate three and a half muttons!

Then he put down the bowl and chopsticks reluctantly.

"Major General, this mutton is really making people crazy!"

"It seems that the Major General is ready."

"From now on, the young ones will follow the Major General in making this kind of copper pot."

Li Laosan put down his chopsticks after eating too much and said excitedly.

“The copper pot is just part of it.”

"The hot pot will be enough to keep your blacksmith shop busy in the future."

“And the iron pan is the biggest deal.”

Duan Chun now understands that among the three types of pots he proposed.

The iron pot for cooking is the most difficult tool to make.

Hot pots and copper pots are simpler.

This also made Duan Chun more determined about his new plan.

That is, to build Wanhualou into a top-notch restaurant for shabu-shabu and hotpot!

As for stir-fries…

Duan Chun wanted to start a new business and use the Duan family's staff to open a large restaurant.

Not only can you feel at ease by employing people.

It can also help Dad solve more troubles.

Let more members of the Cavalry Guards family earn enough money to support themselves!

After waiting for two hours.

Duan Chun finally got a dozen hot pots and a dozen shabu-shabu.

He immediately asked two guards to take three hot pots and shabu-shabu back to the Duke's mansion.

Keep it for yourself and enjoy it in your home later.

The remaining ten hot pot shabu-shabu dishes were taken to Wanhua Tower.

Before leaving, Duan Chun specially reminded Li Laosan and the craftsmen.

In the next meal, I will just make three kinds of pots.

For this reason, Duan Chun left three hundred taels of household receipts for them to buy enough materials for them.

And asked them to make shabu-shabu and hotpot more exquisite and high-end.

As a utensil for entertaining distinguished guests from major aristocratic families.

If orders surge by then, more blacksmith workshops will be opened in farms outside the city.

Let’s first establish the brand of Chang Guogong pots.

Taking the pot with him, Duan Chun returned to Wanhua Building again...

In the backyard of Wanhua Building, shopkeeper Qu led a group of handymen around Duan Chun.

Watching the young master instructing his chef to arrange pieces of tender mutton on the plate.

Then the sesame seeds are ground into a pulp and various unique condiments are made.

When the shabu-shabu boils, the hot pot on the side also boils.

Two soups with completely different colors. The shabu-shabu is clear soup with only a few slices of ginger and garlic.

Inside the hot pot is a rich and fragrant soup of mutton fat and seasonings.

The table was filled with all the ingredients Duan Chun could find in the kitchen.

Cut them all into slices and put them on the plate.

"Young Master, this is..."

Shopkeeper Qu asked curiously.

"Follow me, everyone will know after eating a little."

Duan Chun smiled and took the chopsticks, first putting the chopped mutton into the shabu-shabu.

He knew that as soon as the aroma wafted, this group of people would go crazy immediately!

As expected, not long after the mutton was put into the pot, Duan Chun took it out and dipped it in the sauce.

When he swallowed it in one mouthful, the crowd only felt their Adam's apples move.

Then... their mouths were filled with saliva.

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing saliva resounded throughout the backyard.

"Everyone should try it too. The stewing time of this meat cannot be too long."

"Put it down and count in your mind. If it is within ten, you must take it out quickly."

"It is the most delicious food in the world when it is covered with sauce."

Duan Chun said.

"I understand."

Manager Qu quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of meat and dipped them in sauce.

He swallowed it in big mouthfuls, and in an instant...

The expression on his face was directly stagnant!

"It's really a taste I've never tasted before..."

"I've opened a restaurant for several years, but this is the first time I've tasted such delicious food!"

"The meat is so tender that I almost swallowed my tongue!"

Shopkeeper Qu said in great surprise.

"Shopkeeper, is it really so delicious?"

Several cooks couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating...

Almost everyone's first bite of meat had a petrified expression on their faces.

In the past, they cooked large chunks of mutton and then sliced ​​them with a dagger.

Or they grilled them over a high fire and cut them into chunks and ate them in big bites.

I've never eaten such thin slices of meat, and the taste is so delicious!

Duan Chun didn't say much and walked to the hot pot on the side.

This is the hot pot soup he specially prepared, but it's a pity that there is no chili in this era.

He can only use pepper and dogwood to replace the spicy taste.

Fortunately, the basic seasonings that should be available in this era, such as fennel and cumin, are available.

As long as the taste is similar, it can make people who have never eaten any delicious food in this era.

It's like discovering a new world, and there's no going back...
