Chapter 169 Real Delicacy
When the fat man heard that the contents of this sheepskin roll turned out to be a hot pot base, he shouted excitedly: "I'm a chef, let me have a look."
His words are destined not to fall on deaf ears, Da Zhuang even said disdainfully: "Didn't you just look down on this?"
The fat man also knew his wrongdoing, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Didn't I not pay attention just now?"
Zhang Yang is a cook, but to become an excellent cook, one must first be a seasoned foodie.
When I heard something delicious, the explosive power that burst out was simply amazing.
He almost snatched the hot pot base in his hand, and began to examine it carefully.
Seeing Fatty's actions, Da Zhuang and the others were speechless.
When he got the hot pot base, Zhang Yang couldn't help but stabbed: "Only professional chefs can understand this stuff, but you few scumbags can understand it?"
Zhang Yang's nervous tone made Da Zhuang want to shake his fist angrily.
This thing itself is very much from his ancestors, it can be regarded as his family heirloom, and now it belongs to Brother Xiao. No matter how you look at it, this hot pot base should not belong to Fatty.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw Li Xiao waving his hand, signaling him not to get excited. Coupled with his weird smile, as Da Zhuang who knows Li Xiao very well, he knows that Brother Xiao is going to trick someone again.
After the fat man Zhang Yang read the content of the hot pot base, Li Xiao said lightly: "How about it, is this thing real?"
Zhang Yang nodded, and said with a proud face: "Is it true? I really didn't expect, what did the ancients think, that hot pot can still do this? In addition to delicious taste, it also has health care effects. It's amazing!"
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Fatty, have you memorized this secret recipe?"
The fat man didn't understand the meaning of Li Xiao's words, but said proudly: "How fresh is it? It's just a secret recipe, and I memorized it the first time I saw it. Brother Xiao, I'm not bragging with you, if For other things, no matter how few words there are, I can’t memorize them, but if it’s about ingredient recipes, no matter how many words there are, I can memorize them just by looking at them, which means I’m very talented.”
Li Xiao said to the fat man, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, aren't you a cook? Hurry up and make a pot of hot pot, let us try it."
Hearing this, the fat man said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xiao, can't you?"
"Why?"
"Many of the base ingredients for making hot pot are traditional Chinese medicines, and even if the base ingredients for hot pot are well prepared, we don't have too many ingredients here, so hot pot tastes meaningless!" the fat man said depressingly.
Ning Village is too poor, and there are many things that are not available, even if you want to buy them, you can't buy them.
"Tell me, what is missing? For traditional Chinese medicine, we have it in the mountains, and it is guaranteed to be the freshest. As for the ingredients for hot pot, I promise you can get them. What do you think?" Li Xiao replied directly .
"Really? Okay, as long as Brother Xiao can get something, I'll start making it right away." Although the fat man said so, he didn't actually have much confidence in Li Xiao.
After the fat man said a bunch of Chinese medicine nouns, Li Xiao was going to go up the mountain.
In fact, in normal times, even when encountering this hot pot base, Li Xiao would not be so proactive, and even wanted to taste it right away.
When he saw the hot pot bottom material, an idea came to his mind.
This time up the mountain, Li Xiao had good luck.
Although there are many types of Chinese medicines, they are all common Chinese medicines, which can basically be found on this mountain. In addition, Li Xiao also got a lot of wild mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountain.
Fortunately, he even hunted a wild goat on the mountain.
Even Li Xiao couldn't believe his luck. Could it be that God sent him such a prey knowing that he wanted to eat hot pot?
Besides the ibex, the hare and the pheasant also got one.
Holding these things, Li Xiao slowly walked back to the village.
When the fat man saw Li Xiao coming back looking at so many things, the boss with a long mouth was already speechless.
He stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his mind.
Suddenly, he let out a cry, almost startling Li Xiao.
The fat man rushed over, looked at his prey excitedly, and said, "Brother, from today onwards, you are my own brother. You are so powerful, how did you get so many things?"
Li Xiao didn't reply, but asked, "Are these things enough for hot pot?"
The fat man kept nodding, and said: "Enough, enough, Brother Xiao, don't worry, I promise to make you the most perfect hot pot!"
After speaking, he helped Li Xiao take down the prey.
When he saw the wild goat, he was speechless.
"You can find this thing too, brother Xiao, isn't it too extravagant for us to eat later? If this thing is in the city, it's estimated to cost a hundred thousand less!" The fat man said a little speechlessly.
One hundred thousand? Li Xiao was slightly startled. Last time he sold the goat in Baoshan Town for only over 2,000 yuan, it seemed that he was cheated.
That old lady who collects goats deserves to be ugly.
"Cut off the hind leg, we'll eat it today, as for the rest, I'll go to the county seat tomorrow and sell it." Li Xiao thought for a while, then laughed.
"Okay, just watch!" Fatty immediately became excited when he heard that goats could be eaten.
For him, as long as it is delicious, it can make him excited.
Not to mention, when seeing the fat man concocting these things, the complexity made Li Xiao a little speechless. It seems that even getting the secret recipe is useless. There are many terms in it, and I am afraid that only real chefs will understand.
Ordinary people may not be able to make the hot pot base according to the content of the recipe. The so-called difference is thousands of miles away. If one step is not correct, it may cause problems for the whole pot of hot pot.
This thing has to be made by professionals.
After more than an hour, the fat man finally processed all the bottom materials.
In the end, he didn't know where the fat man got a gauze. He put all the processed materials into the gauze, and then put it into the boiling water that had already been boiled.
After a while, a faint fragrance filled the room.
This fragrance is different from other hot pots. The taste is very unique. After smelling it, it actually lifts people's spirits.
Before tasting the hot pot, Li Xiao knew that it was definitely a good thing.
When the fat man lifted his nose and smelled it, a look of intoxication immediately appeared on his face.
He murmured: "It's our ancestors who are amazing. I really don't know how they came up with this hot pot. This peculiar way of making it, as well as this obsessive taste, are absolutely amazing."
At this moment, Da Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang and Wang Sheng also came to Li Xiao's home.
