"Why didn't we know?" Du Mengnan and others looked at Zhao Xinyu.
Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly, "It's just that you haven't noticed it. Although the watermelons and cantaloupes grown in Hongshiya are not as good as those in Lop Nur, they taste much better than those in Xihanling."
"Xinyu, what is the yellow flower you just mentioned?"
"Yellow flowers and golden needles are the general names here. The scientific name is worry-free grass. It is a cash crop with high nutritional value. It was planted in many areas in those years. However, it was not promoted later, and young people all went out. Part-time work is very rare in the local area these years.”
When Zhao Xinyu was talking about Huanghua, Du Mengnan and the others had already searched for the introduction of Huanghua on the Internet. Especially Du Mengnan and Guan Bingtong, who grew up in the south, looked at Zhao Xinyu with surprise.
"This kind of thing is a high-end gift over there, and you can grow it here."
Zhao Xinyu smiled lightly, "At the beginning, our place was known as the hometown of yellow flowers, and the quality of the yellow flowers in several places was the best. We can use the yellow flowers to brew beer and make yellow flower beef sauce."
"Then why don't you plant it when you come back?"
"Although the economic value of yellow flowers is very high, it is very hard during the month of picking. One acre of yellow flowers requires at least three or four people. In addition, the processing after picking is very troublesome. If we plant it here, we will need to plant at least hundreds of There are even thousands of acres, and the time when yellow flowers are picked coincides with the time when vegetables and fruits are in bloom, so we are short of manpower."
"I remember Huanghua was also good at hotpot." Liu Fengying said with a smile.
When Liu Fengying said this, Du Mengnan and others subconsciously looked at Zhao Xinyu. They had eaten exotic seafood with Zhao Xinyu over the years, but they seemed to have never eaten hot pot.
"I seem to remember that I haven't had hot pot with you."
Guan Bingtong nodded, "The child is already a teenager and hasn't even had a hot pot meal."
When Du Mengnan and Guan Bingtong said this, the whole family laughed. Meng Feiyan looked at Zhao Xinyu and said, "Xinyu, we have the meat ourselves, why don't we get some hot pot base."
Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "In Pingcheng, copper hot pot used to be the most famous. Now there are many old Pingcheng hot pots in Pingcheng. I'll get a few copper hot pots and we can make them ourselves. Do you want to eat dragon meat? It's not easy to have a hot pot. .”
Jiang Fei heard what Zhao Xinyu said, "I'll get the copper hotpot. Let's eat it anytime."
Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "It's better to choose a different day. Let's do it tonight. I'll bring back some high-quality charcoal and I'll prepare it in the afternoon."
"How many copper hot pots can I get?"
Zhao Xinyu thought for a while, "Let's get sixty first. We want a large copper hot pot for a table of ten people. It saves one person and it's still worth buying."
Zhao Xinyu started working in the afternoon, and Zheng Min didn't know where he got the news, so he brought a few apprentices over to help cut meat and wash vegetables.
While others were busy preparing meat and ingredients, Zhao Xinyu had already begun preparing the pot base. Zheng Min looked at Zhao Xinyu who was preparing the base.
"Xinyu, have you ever fried hot pot base?"
"I prepared it for grandpa at the beginning. There were just a few base ingredients in the past. Now we have a lot of ingredients on hand. Let me try it out first."
As scents of fragrance came from the kitchen, Du Mengnan and others who were chatting in the corridor looked towards the direction of the kitchen, their eyes full of surprise.
However, as the number of times increased, the surprise in their eyes slowly disappeared and was replaced by doubts. Zhao Xinyu had fried it no less than ten times. How much was it?
When Erwei left with some seafood, Du Mengnan looked at Erwei and said, "Erwei, how much base did that guy fry?"
"No, Brother Xiaoyu said it didn't taste good and he threw it away."
Hearing what Er Wei said, Du Mengnan and the others were stunned. The fragrance they just smelled was enough to prove that the base was very fragrant, but Zhao Xinyu was still not satisfied. This guy wanted to be the limelight in everything he did.
In more than an hour, the fragrance filled the air twice. Du Mengnan and the others felt that the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger each time. They had an appetite after smelling the fragrance, but it seemed that there was still no result. Those people came to help.
All the busy apprentices came out, and Zhao Xinyu and Zheng Min did not come out.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Just as a few people approached the kitchen, a strange fragrance came from the kitchen. This fragrance was different from the strong fragrance just now, but it gave people an unbearable feeling. While smelling the fragrance, they almost felt I personally feel hungry, and I have the urge to taste the aroma and cook food.
In the kitchen, Zheng Min stared at Zhao Xinyu who was frying the base. In addition to surprise, there was more admiration in her eyes. She felt that there was nothing wrong with the base just now. You must know that she is a culinary expert at the moment. It is recognized that top chefs can judge the quality of the base ingredients from the aroma, but now the man who taught her cooking skills gave her an impeccable result. He decisively threw away the base ingredients she had just fried and only used a few. In just a few minutes, a base was cooked that she couldn't stand.
After frying a pot of base ingredients and placing them in two large basins, Zhao Xinyu glanced at Zheng Min and said, "How about it."
Zheng Min nodded, "If this base is used, it will definitely become popular. What I'm thinking about now is whether we should launch another special hot pot."
Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "You can think about this yourself. I'll write down the recipe first."
As the sun set in the west, the courtyard that had been silent for many days suddenly became lively. Not to mention Wang Yong and others, everyone brought their family members. In addition to them, there were Zhang Mei and Zhao Min from the nursery base. these people.
When the copper hot pots with no smoke left were placed on the dining table, people were very curious because they had never heard of eating hot pot in the courtyard before.
After adding the base ingredients and water, it only took a few minutes for the water vapor to fill the air, and the appetizing aroma began to permeate the air. This made everyone widen their eyes. Each of them was in good condition, and they also went out to eat occasionally. A hot pot meal, but they have never experienced that just adding base ingredients can arouse their appetite.
"What are you waiting for? Go get your own bowl of ingredients."
Like other hot pot restaurants, there are two kinds of bowl ingredients, but when they get closer, there is a fragrance. This is not the smell of ordinary bowl ingredients, but a mixed fragrance.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you made this bowl of ingredients yourself."
"This is the recipe that grandpa left behind. I just improved it."
One dish after another was put into the pot, and when the soup boiled, the whole restaurant was filled with a mixed aroma, and everyone was immersed in it. After taking a bite of the yellow lamb and beef, people stopped talking and prepared the ingredients for half an afternoon. The breakneck speed is decreasing.
More than ten minutes later, Wang Yong sighed and looked at Zhao Xinyu, "Xinyu, this is the best hot pot meal I have ever had in my life."
Wang Yong opened his mouth and immediately aroused people's conversation. Jiang Fei nodded, "I have eaten a lot of hot pot over the years when I have been out on business. I have also eaten the most authentic Sichuan hot pot. That kind of hot pot is indeed authentic, but it is not as good as your hot pot." It’s really incomparable.”
"Xinyu, I've thought about it. We won't launch this kind of hot pot in Wuyou Restaurant. We will open a special hot pot city. I dare say this kind of hot pot will definitely become popular when it is launched."
Zheng Min's words immediately resonated. Erwei looked at Zhao Xinyu and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, there doesn't seem to be a hotpot restaurant here in Hongshiya."
Zhao Shiming laughed, "So what if there is a hot pot restaurant? Xinyu just said that this is Laopingcheng's copper hot pot, but now there are not many places where copper hot pot appears."
Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly and looked at Zheng Min, Jiang Fei, and Wang Yong. "Tell me where we can open a hotpot restaurant."
Everyone was stunned. The influence of the Emperor Group, not to mention the Hongshiya area, even some areas in Pingcheng and Haotian had no stores.
"There really is no room left." Jiang Fei and Wang Yong shook their heads.
Zheng Min's eyes flickered a few times, "No, the taste of this hot pot is so good, it is very different from the hot pot in other places. If it is not pushed out, it will really bury such a good base, Jiang Fei There aren't just a few dozen people working on the third floor of Ziyan Building, or else..."
Jiang Fei looked at Zheng Min speechlessly, "
Zheng Min, when this hot pot comes out, people on the first or third floor can smell it. You are not going to open a hot pot restaurant. You are going to make my employees there cry. "
Zheng Min chuckled and looked at Zhao Xinyu. Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "You must have an idea for my compound."
When Zhao Xinyu said this, the restaurant suddenly turned into a sea of joy. Liu Fengying's almond-shaped eyes flashed a few times, "Zhao Xinyu, do you remember when we were in school? Which copper hot pot restaurant was there across the school?"
Zhao Xinyu nodded with a wry smile, "Perhaps you don't know, what I wanted most at that time was where to have a meal. Every time I saw my classmates from school eating copper hot pot there, I became extremely jealous."
Du Mengnan gave Zhao Xinyu a big eye roll, "Who asked you to recall the past?"
Zhao Xinyu laughed, "I understand what Fengying means. Copper hot pot only requires charcoal. As long as there is charcoal and ingredients, you can eat it anywhere. We really don't have a store, but it doesn't mean we can't sell copper hot pot."
"You can't let people sit on the street and eat copper hot pot."
Zhao Xinyu nodded, "You really guessed it right. It's just eating outside. The copper hot pot doesn't need electricity. Just add charcoal once and you can basically have a meal. Three or two people only need a small table, and it doesn't have any reputation." , Sitting outside in the summer, watching the stars in the sky, enjoying the cool breeze, and eating copper hot pot at night is a different mood. The most important thing is that it’s not expensive to eat outside.”
"You idiot, it's almost winter now."
"Don't be afraid of winter. Pingcheng Night Market is also in winter, so we decided to take advantage of this period of time when the nights are not too cold. We will launch the copper hot pot in these two days. Let's advertise it first. If there is a store in the future, we will talk about it."
Liu Fengying nodded, "This is really okay. As long as we keep good sanitary conditions, rich people like us will like the hot pot."
"Then where do you plan to push it out?"
"crowded place?"
Zhao Xinyu took a deep breath, "You can't choose a place with too many people, or it won't affect traffic."
"The only thing left is the riverside opposite the purple bamboo forest."
"Then choose by the river."
The next morning, tourists entering and leaving Hongshiya looked at the open space beside the river, because they saw many staff from the Emperor Group cleaning the ground, and at the same time, brand-new small tables were placed.
When they went to inquire about it, they learned that the big boss of the Dijun Group was going to launch Laopingcheng's copper hot pot, but because he had no reputation, they could only temporarily build a street stall copper hot pot.
When the news spread, the Internet exploded. You must know that Zhao Xinyu has continued to create myths over the years. He even turned the eight major cuisines into nine major cuisines. But it seems that he has never heard of Wuyou Restaurant launching a hot pot series. The sudden launch of copper hot pot has aroused the curiosity of countless people. The media and self-media immediately rushed to the other side of the river, and they all wanted to taste the Laopingcheng copper hot pot launched by Zhao Xinyu as soon as possible.
This is Zhao Xinyu's influence. When people here are preparing, there are already people occupying seats. In their words, if they wait until noon, they can only watch others eat.
