Chapter 228 228 Yuanyang Hot Pot

Su Ruojin didn't know that Zhao Lan's people had followed her out. She went to the shop to buy pen and ink. After buying it, she went directly to Zhao Lan's hot pot.

Why did you go to his hotpot restaurant today?

The peppers given by Zhao Lan were gradually ripening, and the concierge's father helped to dry them. She had already saved a lot. She took out the dried seeds, which were enough to make hot pot. When she went out this morning, she took the dried peppers with her and went directly to the hot pot restaurant. Season and have an authentic hot pot.

Whether it's hot pot base or dipping sauce, chili peppers are always used.

There are many ways to make hot pot base ingredients. Different regions and personal preferences vary, and the recipes and steps are also different.

The most common default is Sichuan hot pot base.

The preparation method is to chop the bean paste into a base and stir-fry the seasoning, pour in vegetable oil and heat it, add ginger, garlic cloves, scallion knots, etc. and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the soul of hot pot - chili pepper, and simmer slowly over low heat. During this time, add Spices, such as star anise, cinnamon, cumin, etc., are boiled until the flavor is absorbed.

Originally, Su Ruojin only prepared one pot, but when she was preparing to dip the sauce, Princess Yuehua came.

Hearing from her eldest girl that she couldn't eat spicy food, she made a mandarin duck hot pot, one side was spicy and the other wasn't spicy.

Princess Yuehua heard that Su Erniang was preparing hot pot side dishes in the back kitchen. She was very curious and followed her to the kitchen to see how she prepared the pot for lunch.

Whether it's mutton or beef, hot pot restaurants have it all, and the chef's knife skills are also excellent. Cut it very thin and put it in ice, which is no different from eating hot pot in modern times.

Su Ruojin made the dipping sauce herself, using sesame paste, adding soy sauce, chive flowers, shrimp oil, cooking wine, chili, etc.

When blending, first add cooking wine, shrimp oil, soy sauce, and chive flowers. After stirring evenly, add soy sauce and sesame paste. Stir clockwise with a spoon. Finally, add an appropriate amount of chili pepper according to the degree of spiciness that each person accepts.

The seasoning blended in this way should be stirred evenly. Moreover, since the liquid is put in first and the solid is put in last, it will not stick to the bowl when mixing. Because Zhao Lan has a strong taste, Su Ruojin specially added some vinegar to his small dish, sour and spicy. tasty.

Su Ruojin didn't like spicy food very much, so she almost didn't put dogwood and peppercorns.

As the hot pot base soup is cooked longer and longer, the aroma and spiciness spread in all directions.

Princess Yuehua, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, couldn't help but sneeze several times, "Ayawn... Ayawn..."

The eldest girl was annoyed and wanted to teach someone a lesson, but Princess Yuehua stopped her, "Ajin, I'm going to the private room first. It's hot in the kitchen, so come over quickly."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Su Ruojin also prepared the sauce and asked the waiters in the store to move the mandarin duck hot pot soup, ingredients, side dishes, etc. one by one to the private room specially reserved for herself by Zhao Lan.

When she came out, she met Su Yanzu again at the stairs.

An hour ago, they had just had tea together in the teahouse.

When uncles and nephews meet, they look at each other and smile, keeping everything silent.

Su Ruojin looked at Princess Yuehua who was walking upstairs. She was graceful and dignified. Anyone with a normal mind would choose such a woman, right?

She extended her hand to invite the elder to go up the stairs first.

Su Yanzu smiled slightly, and went upstairs without being polite to his niece.

Su Ruojin raised her head and looked at the uncle and the princess who were upstairs. They looked so matched. Maybe they were waiting for time, or maybe they were at the same point.

She sighed secretly and asked Chunxiao beside her, "Has the little prince arrived?"

"not yet."

Zhao Lan didn't arrive, so Su Ruojin wasn't in a hurry. She didn't want to go up and become a light cannon. She was about to find a place to wait for Zhao Lan, but she didn't expect him to arrive.

"Ajin—"

"Brother Jin, are you busy?" Zhao Lan was suspended by the new emperor and had no official job. He shook his head, "No, I've asked someone to plant winter wheat. It will take about three days to reply to my letter."

"Not in a hurry."

The waiter in the shop was carrying fresh vegetables and pea shoots, which made people appetizing just by looking at them.

Su Ruojin smiled and went upstairs with Zhao Lan, saying as they walked, "Brother Jin, today's hot pot is very special."

Zhao Lan had a smile on his face. He had long legs and big steps. He deliberately waited for the little lady slowly and bent over. "You'll know how special it is later." He looked down at the little lady. His boyfriend was so powerful. He was so warm. How warm.

Childhood sweethearts grew up together, and the relationship between the two must be so sweet.

In Zhao Lan's private room, Su Yanzu refused to come with him last time he ate here. This time they finally sat at the same table to eat.

After Su Yanzu finished his salute, he wanted to stand aside. Yuehua asked him to sit down. He sat down as instructed, respectfully and silently.

Princess Yuehua seemed to be used to it and didn't feel the atmosphere was depressing at all. Even for her, whenever Su Yanzu came closer, she felt happier and never lost her energy. She was like Taigong Jiang, patiently holding a fishing rod without a hook. Sitting by the river, waiting for his fate to come.

Zhao and Su, a pair of young lovers, talked and laughed and opened the private room door. The atmosphere inside and outside the door was completely different, and the mood of the two lovers became dull.

"Auntie, my nephew won't disturb your meal." Zhao Lan was about to leave. He didn't want to sit at the same table with the young elders for dinner, it would be weird.

Princess Yuehua came out after hearing her servant report that Su Yanzu was having dinner with her little niece. Unexpectedly, the little lady came out of Bi Mo Shop and went directly to her nephew's hotpot restaurant, so she followed her.

She and Zhao Lan were already settled today, mainly because she made a mandarin duck hotpot at noon today.

Unexpectedly, the young lady wanted to stay. Zhao Lan was a little surprised and smiled slightly. The two of them entered the private room together and saluted Princess Yuehua.

"Alan..." Yuehua stretched out her hand to help her nephew.

Hot pot for four people per table.

At first, it was really awkward.

But when Zhao Lan's taste buds were amazed by the novel ingredients, regardless of the subtlety between her aunt and Chang Shi, she asked Su Ruojin doubtfully, "The spiciness this time is made from the potted fruit I gave you." from?"

Su Ruojin smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Brother Jin is so smart. You guessed it without me saying anything. That's awesome."

Prince Zhao, who was praised by the young lady, didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh, but the taste was really good, "Although they are both spicy, it is really different from dogwood. Dogwood is pungent and spicy. Today's soup base is not as spicy as it is." Pungent but not numb, tastes good. ”

Haha, she knew that Zhao Lan would definitely like it, so she smiled and said, "Next year, I will plant all the seeds collected this year. It will probably take several acres."

Princess Yuehua couldn't stop her mouth when she saw her nephew eating.

What about the elegance and etiquette you promised? Is this still the well-behaved little nephew?

Su Ruojin saw the princess watching them eating spicy food, sitting alone, as if watching a live broadcast of mukbang.

"Your Highness, this half is made with bone soup. It's not spicy. Try it."

Princess Yuehua nodded slightly, and the girl and mother-in-law immediately came forward to arrange the dishes and the towel delivery person, and were busy in an orderly manner.

Su Ruojin:…

Okay, what she saw was a real princess. Being served and fed was not something she was used to, but she was born to live in this way and was a true royal noble.

She found that Su Yanzu was much more silent than before.
