The conditions in this era are limited, and without technology, it is impossible to make particularly delicious food. After all, Zhao Si is not a great chef.
You can consider cooking, but it seems that there are still technical barriers to iron pot manufacturing in this era that have not yet been overcome?
While Zhao Si and Wang Li were chatting, Xiaoding was boiling.
The chili pepper, peppercorns, and beef bone mushrooms are tumbling up and down in the pot, with the umami flavor of the mushrooms, the aroma of the beef bones, and the spiciness of the chili peppers and peppercorns, which are constantly rising along with the water vapor.
Break off the salt that looks like a squatting tiger on the table and put it down piece by piece. After it melts, use a spoon to test whether the saltiness is moderate.
The wonderful flavor blooms in your mouth.
fragrant!
Intellectually speaking, Zhao Si knows that the hot pot he created without technology will definitely not be as good as modern industrialized hot pot.
But the actual entrance only made Zhao Si want to swallow his tongue.
Because food was so scarce when I came to this world, this was the first time I tasted something that tasted so authentic.
"Okay! The meat is ready!" Zhao Si clapped his hands!
Wang Li couldn't wait to put the beef and mutton sliced by his servant separately, and Zhao Si added some green vegetables and mushrooms.
The two of them waited with great anticipation as the ingredients in the pot gradually rolled up and down and the beef gradually changed color.
The beef slices are not very thick, just a thin layer, fresh beef, not frozen, and cooked quickly.
Zhao Si was used to eating well-cooked things and did not take them out immediately. Wang Li couldn't wait to take out the cooked beef.
The smell of meat, the smell of chili peppers that he has never smelled before, combined with pepper, the freshness of mushrooms, and the fragrance of bone soup, all gathered on this small piece of beef, and the taste went straight to Wang Li's heart.
He eagerly put it into his mouth, and various aromas spread out from his mouth, and merged together with chewing, making Wang Li's mouth full of saliva.
"Fragrant!" Wang Li gave a very high evaluation.
“I didn’t expect that eating food like this can be so delicious!”
Cooking during the Qin Dynasty was actually the predecessor of hot pot.
The copper shabu-shabu pots in old Beijing have similar meanings.
It's nothing more than a hot pot with a bottom. How could anyone in ancient times clean the bottom of the pot?
There is definitely bone broth, but without spices like pepper, peppercorns, and mushrooms, the food will not taste the same after being cooked in it for a long time.
"Eat together, eat together!" Wang Li greeted Zhao Si, and the two of them ate together.
The aroma of the hot pot covered up the spicy taste. Zhao Si is a spicy person, so he added a lot of chili peppers.
When Wang Li first ate it, he only felt that the stimulation of the taste buds by the chili pepper and peppercorns was unstoppable. After eating for a while, his mouth felt numb.
But the pleasant taste is still blooming on the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, making people want to stop.
The same is true for Zhao Si.
Spicy itself is a kind of pain.
Eating spicy food itself is to enjoy the pleasure factors that are stimulated and secreted passively by the taste buds.
Zhao Si and Wang Li are both qualified gourmets.
You take a bite and I take a bite, and the beef and mutton fall into the pot one after another.
Originally, the two of them were one person and one cauldron, sitting separately, and were somewhat reserved in front of people they were not familiar with.
Because the hot pot can only be cooked in one cauldron, the two of them changed from one person and one person to two people and one person.
The two people sat opposite each other across the small cauldron, and the food table was pushed aside by the two instead of placed in front of them.
Before, they were sitting upright and kneeling, but now they are sitting cross-legged, and I am so happy when you take a bite.
Wang Li didn't even have time to chat with Zhao Si about things at sea. He only chatted with Zhao Si while waiting for the ingredients to be cooked.
The more the pot was cooked, the spicier it became, and the two of them only felt that the more they ate, the more delicious it became.
Even their mouths were completely numb and swollen, but neither of them cared.
Zhao Si saw that Wang Li's mouth was visibly swollen, and Zhao Si estimated that he was about the same.
But it doesn’t matter, image? What is image?
However, if your mouth is spicy, drink more water. The buttermilk in a small pot on the side has been drank long ago, and now it is replaced by a new drink.
The fermentation product of an unknown fruit also has no alcoholic smell and is mainly sour. It has a sweet aftertaste and a relatively refreshing taste.
Zhao Si quite likes drinking drinks from this era.
It tastes really good.
Includes alcohol.
Most of the wines in this era were rice wine, yellow wine and fruit wine, not white wine.
The alcohol content is not high, and it also tastes like grain. It tastes unique and difficult to get drunk. It is more like a drink than alcohol.
Fortunately, it was not Jiangxiang Technology, otherwise Zhao Si would have had a headache.
Zhao Si and Wang Li, two gourmets, were eating and drinking, and soon all the beef and mutton on their tables were wiped out.
Put in chicken?
Who eats chicken when serious people eat hot pot?
Wang Li put a piece of it in and tasted it. The taste was indescribable. Compared with beef and mutton, it was far inferior to the old nose, so he ignored it.
The green vegetables were also cleaned up by Zhao Si, who pays attention to nutritional balance.
Wang Li usually eats an astonishing amount of food, but now his stomach is so full that it is uncomfortable to sit upright, so he has to hold his stomach back with one hand to release it.
Zhao Si has almost the same image, and he eats no less than Wang Li.
Right now, the two of them had one leg crossed, one leg stretched out, and two hands supporting their backs. There were messy tables on both sides, and they looked devoid of any grace at all.
Zhao Si noticed Wang Li's appearance and saw Wang Li's swollen lips.
A thick red mouth looks happy on any face.
Wang Li looked at Zhao Si in the same way.
The two looked at each other, and Wang Li realized his indecency at first. Compared to Zhao Si, Wang Li was more influenced by the etiquette and rules of this era. He wanted to adjust immediately, but then he noticed that Zhao Si was the same, Looking at Zhao Si's sexy big mouth again, he couldn't be serious at all. He was laughing with one mouth and two big mouths jumping up and down.
Zhao Si was stunned when he saw it, and the two pointed at each other and laughed.
After laughing for a while, I stopped laughing...
Because after you stop eating, the aroma stimulation to your taste buds stops.
The stamina of the peppercorns was no longer concealed by the food, and came flooding back.
Zhao Si only felt that his two big lips were not his own, and they didn't feel anything to the touch. There was drool in his mouth, and his tongue was so spicy that it gushed in his mouth.
Wang Li was in a similar state. He took a gulp of water and drank a few mouthfuls. His stomach was so full that he couldn't drink any more. He took a quick look and saw that Zhao Si was sucking in and out with a hand at the side of his mouth.
hiss! ha! hiss! ha!
Wang Li also followed suit, and his mouth felt much better.
Just unprepared for a moment, the crystal saliva secreted from the mouth due to the constant spicy stimulation leaked out from the corner of the mouth and landed on the clothes and the ground.
Zhao Si was exhaling, and Wang Li, who was drooling with his mouth wide open, laughed.
Wang Li's image was gradually torn off his label and came alive in his mind.
