Chapter 196 A bowl of spicy hot pot
Xia Anan thought about it, and said in a more understandable way: "It's hot pot, similar to your current cold dishes, just hot..."
"What do you mean? Season the food after it's cooked?"
Xia Anan clapped her hands, "Yes, yes, yes! That's pretty much what I mean!"
"Prepare a big pot of bone soup, put the dishes they selected into the pot and blanch them, then add sesame paste, coriander, chopped green onions and the like. You can make it with soup or dry mix."
She swallowed her saliva as she spoke. She hadn't had spicy hot pot in a long time and she was craving for it.
"But I..." Gao Daxing subconsciously wanted to deny himself, but when he thought of his daughter, he changed his words: "An An, since you proposed it, I will give it a try!"
Xia Anan nodded, "Then I will notify the manufacturer and have them make the pot you will use later. This will take some time. By the time it is ready, it will be almost autumn."
After seeing Gao Daxing off, Xia Anan contacted her previous master and described the stall she wanted.
This was not the first time they had worked together, and the other party quickly understood what she meant and promised to produce the first version soon.
The only thing left is the issue of dishes. Everything can be cooked in spicy hot pot. You don’t have to worry about vegetables for now. You can just put whatever vegetables are available in the supermarket on the stall.
As for dry goods, you can include dried tofu, tofu skin, soy products made from soybeans, dried ferns, and kelp.
The fish balls and meat balls are made in their own factory. After the spicy hot pot goes on sale, they will promote the fish balls again and put them on the shelves at that time. There is no need to worry about excessive waste due to the hot weather.
For meat, prepare some marinated meat slices, squid tentacles, shrimp, and scallops.
As for the final staple food, there is no need to worry about it, but don’t forget what Pei Yuanbai’s family did before.
Various noodles, potato noodles, sweet potato noodles, and mung bean vermicelli are enough.
The ones in Beijing will start with malatang and malamuban, while those in Shancheng will start with malamuban skewers. The dishes on both sides are similar, but the tastes are slightly different, and they will be gradually introduced after the weather gets colder.
Xia Anan thought about all the plans roughly and wrote down the important things first.
After imagining it, I feel a little greedy, so let’s eat spicy hot pot today.
Take out everything in the refrigerator, use half a chicken and its bones to make some soup, and use this time to prepare the dishes you’ll be eating later.
If you take out a little bit of each dish, it will be a big pot.
When the soup is almost done, take out the chicken, tear it into pieces, and simply adjust the seasoning.
She sent a message to Lu Qingyuan, saying that it would not be too late to start boiling the dishes after the person returned from the company.
Cook the vegetables first, then the dry goods, noodles, and finally the meat slices and fish balls. Put them into three bowls respectively, add the prepared bone broth, and pour a layer of sesame paste and a little sesame oil on the top.
She put some chili peppers in her and Lu Qingyuan's bowls, but not in Xia Baobao's portion.
Just as three bowls of spicy hot pot were brought out, the door opened.
Xia Baobao, dressed in a small suit, walked in front with a stern face, and no one knew what had happened.
But when he saw Xia Anan, he immediately smiled and ran over, "Mom!"
Xia Anan carried him up with difficulty, "What's wrong? Who bullied our boss Bao Bao?"
She weighed him twice and realized that the little guy was growing too fast, getting heavier every day. If she waited any longer, she would not be able to hold him.
"he!"
Xia Baobao pouted and pointed with her little hand at Lu Qingyuan who was changing his shoes when he came in.
"You said I bullied you, why didn't you tell me about the time you made a paper airplane out of my documents?" Someone had a dark face and looked much angrier than Xia Baobao.
Xia Anan: "...full, is what Boss Lu said true?"
Xia Baobao hugged her neck, with a pitiful look written all over her face, "Bangbao saw people folding things like that on TV, so I wanted to fold one and give it to my mom..."
Okay, okay, now I'm involving myself in this.
When Xia Anan saw Lu Qingyuan coming out after washing his hands, her expression changed immediately, "Don't do this again in the future, you hear me?"
Xia Baobao nodded.
She put the little guy down and asked him to wash his hands, but when she turned around she saw Lu Qingyuan walking upstairs.
"Lu Qingyuan, you don't want to eat?"
"I'm so angry with him, no..." Glancing at the big bowl on the table, Lu Qingyuan held back the words "no" and asked, "What are we eating today?"
“Spicy hotpot.”
Xia Anan trotted over, pushed him to the dining table, and patted his shoulders. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Baobao is still young, and now is the time to be naughty. You can't suppress a child's nature, right?"
"You told him today that he will definitely not do this again next time!"
She moved the bowl towards Lu Qingyuan, "You can't just skip meals because you're angry, right? There's nothing a bowl of spicy hotpot can't solve. It's a new dish. Want to try it?"
Lu Qingyuan had indeed never heard of Malatang, but what the other party said was indeed right. He couldn't just not eat because he was angry.
He picked up the chopsticks, but before he could pick up a dish, the little one who was washing his hands came back jumping up and down.
Xia Baobao tried hard to climb onto his own little stool, "It smells so good, Mom is so great! If Dad doesn't eat it, I can eat it all!"
Lu Qingyuan: “…”
Xia Anan quickly explained: "Being full means not wasting food. Don't think too much and eat quickly!"
"Stir the sesame paste first. There's some more here. If it's not enough, you can add more. There's also vinegar and sugar. You can help yourselves."
Lu Qingyuan looked at the delicious food in the bowl and decided not to argue with the little guy.
He carefully stirred the sesame paste on top. He was just wondering what malatang was. Isn't it just cooking various vegetables together?
Who would have thought that after taking a bite, my taste buds would be instantly awakened.
Fresh vegetables themselves have a sweet taste, and now they are coated with fragrant sesame paste, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.
Take another sip of the soup, it’s slightly spicy and very fresh.
Xia Anan shared the spoon between the two of them and said, "The soup is bone soup, drinkable, and I think it tastes pretty good."
"thanks Mom!"
Xia Baobao took the small spoon, took a sip, and gave a thumbs up in a serious manner, "It's so delicious!"
While the two of them were communicating, Lu Qingyuan had no time to speak.
What Xia Anan said just now is true, there is nothing that can't be solved by a bowl of spicy hot pot.
He was not afraid of the heat and ate very quickly. Even though his bowl was the biggest, he was the first to finish it.
Not only did he finish all the food, he also drank up all the soup.
But he didn't leave the table immediately and continued to sit on the chair.
"What's wrong? Are you not full?" Xia Anan's eyes fell on the bowl in front of Lu Qingyuan. This was the largest bowl in the house.
Lu Qingyuan cleared his throat and said, "It's full of vegetables, and there's no staple food. It would be nice to have some rice to fill it up."
Xia Anan: "Isn't there noodles in it?"
"It's a little less, cook more next time."
"Okay." Xia Anan thought, if she cooked a little more next time, the other party could just eat directly from the pot.
