Hot pot is one of those dishes that combines the two elements of being quick to prepare and delicious. As long as the soup base is prepared, all that's left is for the eater to put the raw ingredients into the boiling hot pot and cook them. All the effort is concentrated on that pot of soup. Of course, the ingredients also need to be fresh.
Of course, what someone made was not just boiling a pot of hot water and adding a few big bones to make the soup, but finding out from the depths of his memory the recipe for the base of Chongqing Spicy Hot Pot. The Jialong Chamber of Commerce has provided more than 90% of the materials he needs. Even if the taste is not perfect, it will be 70% or 80% no problem. The only dissatisfaction is that there are not enough types of peppers.
Even so, when the pot of soup base was brought to the table, everyone frowned. Spicy hot pot is not experienced the moment you eat it, but starts to show its power when you smell it.
In addition to the pot of soup base, which is quite scary in the eyes of others, everyone also has a bowl of noodles in front of them, which looks a little bit normal. But the noodle soup is still red, and the taste is not only pungent, but also a little sour.
But this bowl is another regret for someone. The vermicelli of hot and sour noodles should be made from sweet potato flour. The taste made with flour is not so authentic. This can only be regarded as a bowl of hot and sour noodles with a different taste. Just face. Although the Jialong Chamber of Commerce also provides sweet potatoes, they have no idea how to make them. It’s better to start groping for recipes when you’re hungry, so you can only make do with noodles.
Not to mention that many of the people present were not ordinary people. Even for the one who truly belonged to ordinary people, everyone was curious and frightened when they saw a pot of red soup being brought to the table with a pungent aroma. And the bowl of noodles, which was also red, was not as scary as the pot of soup, but it was by no means a very familiar taste.
Like Vana, she once saw a magician use duck blood or pig blood to make different dishes. At that time, her worldview seemed to be shattered. She couldn't believe that that kind of food could be eaten. It must be some kind of magic or evil ritual. Although it proved in the end that it was really delicious... and the pot of bright red soup in front of me had a pungent smell, it must be another bloody dish.
Lin doesn't do anything to promote. For foodies, there is nothing wrong with everything being served on the table and others not using their chopsticks, just so that they can eat more. However, for new friends, the most basic explanation is still needed. On the whole table, there were no utensils and cutlery that were common among fans. Except for spoons and spoons, they were just two small wooden sticks.
Lin explained and demonstrated how to use chopsticks. Finally, I picked up the hot and sour noodles and took a big sip. It was so satisfying~! Then, in full view of everyone, he picked up a piece of raw hairy belly, boiled it with seven ups and eight downs, and put it into his mouth.
The long-lost taste exploded in his mouth, and tears burst out of his eyes. Lin didn't know whether he was choked by the spiciness that he tasted again after nearly twenty years, or whether he was really so moved.
Just when someone was chewing over and over again, the two girls followed their teacher's movements without hesitation. Although Fen was a step slower, she was not as anxious as the two apprentices, and she didn't show any signs of complacency. Then there are Uzov, four silver-bearded dwarves, and the humanized black dragon Augustus.
The two children and four kittens were not suitable for themselves because of their young age or small size. So Wana, who was responsible for taking care of the two children, first let them eat the hot and sour noodles in the bowl, and she first tried to see what this pot of scary-looking food tasted like.
William Greco couldn't restrain his curiosity, so of course he also rinsed a piece of hairy belly. Azad, however, played with the chopsticks in his hand with the hot and sour noodles in front of him. After I felt proficient, I imitated someone and took a sip of the hot and sour noodles.
Then... everyone exploded!
Some covered their mouths, some looked for water, and some opened their mouths to fan themselves inside. The most exaggerated ones were Jermaine, who fell directly to the ground and rolled with the four cats. Only one person, regardless of his tears and sweat, ate happily, rinsing the tripe with slices of meat, and rinsing the slices of meat with cabbage.
After a while, Lin noticed two fat boys staring at him expectantly, and there was only residual soup left in their bowls.
The so-called happiness alone is not as good as the happiness of everyone. Since the child's mother was also killed in the battle, Lin took on the task of feeding him, and a fat boy gave him a piece of his belly. The two of them took a bite, and then their eyes lit up. He finished a large piece of hairy tripe in a few seconds and then knocked on the bowl to beg for food.
Regarding the actions of the two boys, Lin immediately taught them a lesson: "Don't knock the bowl when eating. Only beggars do such things."
The two fat boys who stopped banging on the bowl pointed at the meat plate on the table and whispered, "Meat, I want meat."
Inexplicably, someone actually had the feeling that these two boys had an unlimited future.
In the end, spicy hot pot is not exclusive to anyone. Maybe the first bite will make you choke, but after you get used to it, you can't stop eating one bite after another. To use someone's words, this feeling can be described in three simple words: numb, spicy, and refreshing!
Not only that a big pot of hot and sour noodles was finished, the two girls went into the kitchen several times and cut some ingredients that could be cooked. Because the spicy soup base needs to be fried separately, some lazy guy didn't plan to go into the kitchen again, so when adding soup, he just topped it with homemade bean paste and stock.
A group of people ate the meal for a long time, adding soup several times, and almost turned the spicy soup base into clear soup. Only then did he hold out his stomach and pick his teeth with unfinished thoughts.
According to Azad's explanation, people who practice martial arts have a big appetite, so eating to a full seventy percent is okay.
Just saying 'it's okay', Azad was still stretched out on the sofa chair and burping. Lin guessed in his heart that this guy might not be able to get rid of him in a short time.
Although William Greco was not so careless about his image, he looked very satisfied, drinking cold beer with the two hosts with rosy faces. This is also one of the products of Jialong Chamber of Commerce. Compared with the original ale, the most important thing is that hops are added to the beer, which makes the beer less sweet and more sweet and bitter. It tastes even better after being chilled.
Holding a special beer glass, William said: "Friend, today's dinner is really amazing. I never thought that food can taste like this."
"It's easy to say that there are countless delicacies in the world. I just love to eat more than most people, and I have eaten more varieties. Sometimes I miss a taste and try hard to pursue it, but I can only restore it to seven or eight points. That’s it. Compared with the deliciousness I remember, there is still room for improvement. But thanks to you, if I didn’t know the people from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, it would be difficult for me to collect so many spices.”
William, whose eyes were shining, said: "Oh, then, I will bother you for a while, okay?"
"Welcome, there's nothing wrong with it. I can't bear to have one more mouth. It's just that you came to the Holy City through the Turtle Dove Alliance, don't you have anything else to do? Is it okay to treat me like this?"
"Don't worry, I don't have anything important to do when I come here. It's just a stop on the journey. I came here because there are rumors within the alliance that the technology guild in the Holy City needs help, so I came here to take a look. That’s all.”
From William's words, we learned that his daily life consisted of visiting people everywhere and occasionally helping out with some trivial favors. Work has never been in his life plan. This also allowed him to have a tight budget, but he was not short of living expenses, since someone would provide them anyway.
If nothing else works, go into the wilderness alone, either to defeat monsters to get rewards, or to hunt for a meal or two. It's not difficult for him.
He pursues life, but not material life. It sounds like a tongue twister, but this is indeed William Greco's attitude towards life. And at his level of strength, people really support him wherever he goes.
Maybe it's strange to use these two words, but the fact is that even if the people he met during the journey did not rely on his strength, they would rather provide for them and not let him cause trouble for them. Not to mention that with such a great god sitting at home, he would never sit idly by and ignore a life-threatening situation.
Of course, there are many times when the white swordsman chooses to leave a place because the friend's demands have crossed his red line. If you don't want to break up, you have no choice but to leave. Because of this personality, he basically won't get into the dark side of someone's career, and no one can keep him around. So life is still free and easy.
Just talking so much, Lin couldn't help but suspect that there seemed to be no time to practice martial arts and combat skills in his daily life. Did this strength fall from the sky?
Faced with such a question from someone, the white swordsman showed an expression of puzzlement and doubt, and said: "Why do you need to practice? Those things can be figured out after just thinking about it."
In response, Fen and Azad nodded in agreement. A certain time traveler told others that he just wanted to strangle these people to death.
Anyway, at the end of this eventful day, there were two more guests at home.
However, when the two girls who had cleaned up the dining room and kitchen came to him, they pointed aggrievedly at the mess in the jacquard workshop that had not yet been cleaned up. Lin sighed and asked, "How serious is the damage over Jamsil?"
Halumi replied: "All six reserved species are gone. The adults of the Golden Demon Moth are either dead or flying; there are not many larvae left. About less than 20% of the larvae of other moth species are left. Quantity. Heavy losses."
"What about the dried silk cocoons? How many are left that can be used?"
"About 120 to 30 kilograms. Maybe some of them are just dirty and can still be used after being cleaned." Halumi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, won't you investigate it further?"
"What are you pursuing? Can anyone who died or flew away be brought back?"
The blonde girl shook her head.
"Is there anyone else who can repair the broken machine?"
The blonde girl and the dark-haired and brown-skinned girl shook their heads together.
"So these aftermaths will ultimately fall on ourselves. Does it make sense to hold anyone accountable?"
The three masters and disciples sighed at the same time. Lin added: "Let's start repairing the jacquard machine tomorrow. With the number of silk cocoons we have saved, it should be no problem to make three sets of clothes. Although I want to make a few more sets at once, it will take some time to recover the subsequent production capacity. So. Don’t wait any longer. Let’s start planning. Once the machine is repaired, the process will be scheduled.”
The two girls raised their eyebrows, they finally had some happy news today.
