Bluffing

After asking about the price, Fang Qingqing planned to buy it.

The materials used in this stove are actually not bad in workmanship, mainly because it just fits Fang Qingqing’s idea.

And Fang Qingqing also guessed that the person who could think of eating hot pot was probably the reborn Princess Anle.

But for many wealthy families, it is really unsightly to cook vegetables and radishes with meat, so not more people in Beijing have discovered this delicacy.

At that time, Fang Qingqing bought the stove. It was getting cold soon, and the family was planning to buy some charcoal to stock up on.

As for spices, dried chili peppers and other sauces, they are all available in her own food shop. Fang Qingqing only plans to use her mouth. She believes in her sister-in-law's ability.

I came across a good opportunity today, so Fang Qingqing planned to have hot pot together in the evening.

This is actually an experiment. If it tastes good, you can consider selling it in restaurants in the future.

Fang Qingqing has considered that the current restaurant is fundamentally different from the "Li Family Store" they opened when they first arrived in the capital.

Although the popular food for common people is still the main focus of the food shop, in fact, some high-end routes can also be added. After all, Mr. Li's colleagues are also eating at the food shop now.

Some time-honored shops in Beijing generally have their own specialties and specialties, and their consumer groups are also fixed.

If you want to stand out, you need something new, and Fang Qingqing wants to create hot pot.

But the cost of hot pot is not low, not to mention the hot pot pot, just the various soup bases and meat slices.

Ordinary people can't afford it, so hot pot can only take the elegant route and set up private rooms in stores to entertain specific guests.

Now Fang Qingqing has a lot of money on hand, and the Li family itself has a much stronger foundation. It is no longer the same as when renting a shop and still asking around to gauge the standard of bargaining.

Her shop has several floors, so Fang Qingqing has enough space to develop her ideas.

All that needs to be done now is to promote this hot pot so that more so-called upper-class people can identify with it.

Fang Qingqing’s plan is to eat it at home first, and if the Li family likes it, they can introduce it to other relatives and friends.

I happened to have some ready-made bone soup at home, which Shi had prepared for noodles in the evening. A large pot of bone soup was boiled into a milky white color.

At the beginning of the cooking, sliced ​​ginger, green onions and garlic were added. When it was time to eat in the evening, there were thinly sliced ​​mutton and beef slices prepared by Fang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei.

Speaking of which, the Li family is really gaining momentum now, otherwise the mutton would be good but the beef would be hard to buy.

In addition to these, there are some vegetarian dishes, such as vegetables, radishes, and corn and potatoes that were just brought back from Zhuangzi.

Those are all good things, because for lunch at night I had notified Sister Li in advance to prepare tofu, bean curd, fried tofu, and noodles in the store.

Then there is a small jar of fragrant sauce with sesame oil, which is the key to eating hot pot.

Because she was worried that her family would not be used to it, she did not add a lot of chili pepper to the bottom of the pot. Instead, Fang Qingqing prepared a bowl of chili oil.

The main ingredient at the bottom of the pot is clear soup. People who like spicy food can dip the cooked ingredients in chili oil and eat it. It will still be very delicious.

To eat hot pot, the whole family must sit together to eat well. Now, because the shop has hired chefs, helpers and cooks, Mrs. Li and the others will come back early if there is something at home.

So when Mr. Li, Mr. Shi, took his son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandson, and grandson, as well as the big fat grandson who was wrapped up and carried out, the whole family sat together.

What he saw was the steaming pot on the table, with various chopped ingredients placed next to it and the sauce plate that was always smelling fragrant.

Because Fang Qingqing had said in advance that the Li family knew they were going to eat hot pot, and they were surprised when they actually saw it.

Is this called eating hot pot?

Fang Qingqing lit the charcoal stove, the soup in the pot had begun to boil, and then asked everyone to fill up a small bowl of sauce.

"Dad, Mom, wait until the soup in the pot boils and you can put in the meat slices and vegetables."

She sat next to Li Xiuping, and after the soup in the pot boiled, she added beef and mutton slices, and then fried tofu that could be cooked longer.

Others watched and imitated.

Fang Qingqing also told them that they can put whatever they like into the pot, such as potatoes, radishes, etc., just cook them for a while, sliced ​​meat, etc., and then you can take them out and eat them after boiling them for a while.

"Third Aunt, can we eat it?" Sanmao looked at it eagerly, as the food that smelled so delicious could not be eaten right away.

hateful!

Sanmao angrily took a mouthful of the so-called soy sauce in the bowl, and his eyes lit up, "It's delicious."

At this time, the slices of meat in the pot were cooked. The beef and mutton slices were cut very thin so they were easy to eat. Fang Qingqing greeted:

"Mom and Dad, okay, you guys eat quickly."

As for the others, they had to provide enough food and clothing by themselves, and even Li Xiuping was not interested in taking care of them carefully.

A grown man with arms and legs, but he can’t make what he wants to eat?

There weren't many meat slices at the beginning, but there were too many people eating dry rice in Lao Li's house, so when Fang Qingqing said it was done, the time was quickly emptied.

The main reason is that this stuff is so fragrant that everyone's appetite has been whetted.

Then he put in all the other dishes prepared on the table one after another. Lao Li's family felt that it was fresh and they were really full.

After all, beef and mutton are precious and expensive, especially because the elders are reluctant to eat more and always leave it to their children.

But those vegetarian ones are good enough, and they also taste good after being cooked in the pot and then dipped in sauce.

It tastes much better than simply stewed meat or stir-fried vegetables. In the end, not to mention the vegetables and noodles, even the soup in the pot was consumed.

After all, Sister-in-law Li is the main force in the food shop and specializes in food, so she was thinking while eating:

Why does the food cooked with the bottom of the pot taste better as this brother and sister said?

The vegetables cooked in this way are very fresh, the meat slices are more delicious, and even the tofu, potatoes, etc. have absorbed enough of the flavor of the soup and are very suitable.

So she was also thinking about this question, could this hot pot be sold as a new dish in a restaurant?

However, these can all be discussed with the younger siblings later. For the Li family, the most important thing at the moment is the banquet to be held in a few days.

Things have reached the current situation, and it is impossible for Li Xiuping to keep a low profile any longer.

Not to mention that he has been very eye-catching by following Emperor Hongwen for more than a year. In addition to Mr. Li's rapid promotion, he has been an official for only three years and both his mother and wife have received titles.

The most important thing is that Fang Qingqing actually obtained the title of Princess Princess, which would definitely be very bluffing.
