Chapter 414 Hot Pot
"I've already asked someone to make it, and you can take it back when you go back. But let me tell you, don't think about it in the future, I won't do this thing again." Lin Xuan said.
Dressing tables are now sold at ten thousand guan. Although it is a bit exaggerated, there are still a lot of people who will buy thousands of guan.
In any era, there are rich and poor.
In the eyes of some people, thousands of strings are nothing at all.
But Lin Xuan didn't intend to use this to make money at all. Some people might be willing to buy a dressing table with thousands of pens, but it's definitely not much.
How can it be cost-effective to sell mirrors? A palm-sized mirror can be sold for hundreds of pieces with a copper frame and a handle.
Those about the same size as bronze mirrors can sell for hundreds of pieces.
And the mirror is fragile, if it is broken, you have to buy it again.
As for where the dressing table is placed, as long as it is not intentionally smashed, it will not be broken at all. Even if it is valuable, how much can it be sold for?
Although Lin Xuan doesn't plan to sell it, he can't sell too much, otherwise it won't be rare.
"Don't worry, you've done us such a great favor, how could we bother you any more?" Yuchi Baolin laughed.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, with your cheeks, can you be embarrassed?
"If you're all right, stay for lunch at noon, I just invented a new way of eating." Lin Xuan said.
"A new way to eat? Then we have to try it." Cheng Chumo said with bright eyes.
Stir-fried dishes have been spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and although they have different tastes, they are very popular.
The cooks of their families all learned from the Lin family, and their taste was much better than those who tried it by themselves.
Now that Lin Xuan has come up with a new way of eating, I naturally want to try it.
……
"This is the new way of eating you said?" Cheng Chumo and the others stared at Lin Xuan.
At this time, there were two very 'strange pots' in the middle of the table.
The reason why it is described as strange is because the top of the pot is pointed, there is a round furnace barrel, the middle waist is wide and wide, and a round belly suddenly appears, there are two animal pattern pull rings on the top, and the bottom is It is a base, hollowed out with patterns carved, and the burning charcoal fire inside can be seen. The charcoal fire passes through the seemingly hollow furnace belly, and occasionally a few sparks can be seen spewing out from the upper furnace barrel.
They really didn't know if it was a pot or a stove.
Among the two pots, one has a white soup base and the other is red, and they are making a "gudong gudong" boiling sound, and a lot of things they don't know have been added to them.
In addition, there are also dishes on the table, such as green cabbage, spinach, tender yellow bean sprouts, dark wild mushrooms, and red and white mutton.Especially those plates of mutton, which were sliced as thin as cicada's wings and crystal clear, whetted the appetite.
The problem is, these are all raw.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, you guys have a try."
Cheng Chumo and the others looked at each other, how could they eat this?
"Haha." Seeing their appearance, Lin Xuan laughed and stopped teasing them. He picked up a chopstick, picked up a piece of mutton, put it in the bottom of the red pot, brushed it for a while, took it out and blew it, and then stuffed it in. mouth.
"Cool!" Although he was so hot that he breathed in cold air, he was very happy in his heart.
He wanted to eat hot pot before, but at that time, although the weather was cold, the mutton could not be frozen hard.
At this time, the knife is not fast at all, and it is impossible to slice the mutton very thinly if it is not frozen hard.
He experimented once and gave up.
However, it snowed the day before yesterday and the temperature plummeted, so he asked people to prepare it today.
Seeing Lin Xuan's intoxicated look, Cheng Chumo and the others followed Lin Xuan's example and picked up the mutton and put it in the pot for brushing.
Cheng Chumo was the most impatient, as soon as he put it into the pot, he immediately fished it out and ate it.
Lin Xuan was a little speechless. Although the mutton was sliced very thin, and the blood color would not be visible after putting it in a pot for soup, it tasted almost the same as raw.
Cheng Chumo didn't spit out the meat because it wasn't cooked, but breathed out from the hot pepper.
When he regained his strength, he yelled, "It's so cool!"
He felt a heat surge in his body, and he felt comfortable all over.
Although the weather is very cold now, there is a stove in the room, and with the fire under the hot pot, it doesn't feel cold at all, but the heat flow comes from the inside, and the feeling is fundamentally different.
"Chu Mo, you are enough. If you want to fool us into eating chili, you don't have to act so exaggerated?" Yuchi Baolin said speechlessly.
They didn't realize why the pot was red before, but when they heard Cheng Chumo call it spicy, they remembered the fear of eating chili last time, so how dare they eat it.
But Qin Huaidao and Li Deju were cooked in another pot, looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "Zi Chu, is this pot not spicy?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, in these two pots, the red one is spicy, while the white one is not."
Only then did Qin Huaidao feel relieved and started eating.
When Yuchi Baolin said this to Cheng Chumo, he said a little annoyed: "What did I do? If you are afraid of spicy food, eat something that is not spicy."
After finishing speaking, he picked up another piece of meat and put it in the spicy pot. Just like before, he brushed it and started eating.
Yuchi Baolin looked at the meat in his hands and hesitated, Cheng Chumo probably wouldn't go eat spicy food by himself just to fool him.
After thinking about it, Yuchi Baolin gritted his teeth and stuffed the meat into his mouth.
Yuchi Baolin burst into tears from the heat, and scolded Cheng Chumo in his heart, but with so many people around, he was too embarrassed to spit it out, so he could only swallow it.
"Cool!"
When the meat entered the only son, Yuchi Baolin made the same cry as Cheng Chumo.
Qin Huaidao and Li Deju looked at Yuchi Baolin, a little puzzled.
The non-spicy bottom of the pot they ate didn't feel as delicious as cooking. I really couldn't understand why Cheng Chumo and the others had such expressions.
Could it be that the spicy one is better?
Lin Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to them, and made the dipping sauce himself.
"There is dipping sauce here, you can adjust it according to your own taste." Lin Xuan said to several people.
Cheng Chumo immediately dropped the chopsticks and went to adjust the dipping sauce.
He thought very simply, this way of eating was invented by Lin Xuan, since Lin Xuan always needs to make any kind of dipping sauce, it must taste better with dipping sauce.
"Zi Chu, what is this way of eating called?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Hot pot."
Qin Huaidao praised: "There is fire in the pot, which is quite appropriate, but they didn't like chili before, why do they like it now?"
Li Deju also looked at Lin Xuan strangely.
"Try it and you'll know." Lin Xuan smiled.
People at this time have not yet developed the habit of eating spicy food.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were main materials for making "spicy" flavors, and people used more ginger, mustard or cornel.It's just that after Lin Xuan tasted it, he felt that the taste of cornel was closer to that of chili.
Cornus officinalis is also called "Yuejiao". "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that eating cornus "taste is pungent and bitter. The natives pick it in August, pound it and filter it to get the juice, add lime and stir it into it. It is called mugwort oil, and it is also called spicy rice oil. Flavor. Spicy, used in food".
Although the taste of cornel is similar to that of chili, it has a bitter taste and is not liked by people.
This is also the reason why chili replaced dogwood later.
Qin Huaidao and Li Deju, dubiously, brushed a piece of meat in the spicy pot and started to eat.
They also felt very spicy at first, but when the warmth came from inside, they fell in love with this feeling.
Lin Xuan laughed secretly. The ancients first ate chili peppers to keep warm. Over time, they fell in love with them.
And some people in places that are not very cold are not particularly able to eat spicy food.
Especially the Lingnan side, I don't like it at all.
