But when Hu Changan asked the chef to put the chili pepper into the boiled fish, the chef refused at all.
Even though the chili pepper should not be poisonous, the chef really never wants to touch such a weird thing again.
God knows what side effects it will have after touching it, but the chef doesn't want to try it himself.
So, Hu Changan had to do the cooking himself and boil the boiled fish in the pot.
This time, Hu Changan added chili peppers to it.
Suddenly, a domineering smell hit his face.
This is the spicy flavor unique to chili peppers.
Hu Changan didn't notice it for a moment, but he was so smelled that he shed tears.
Hu Changan quickly took out the handkerchief in his arms and wiped it, thus avoiding the next embarrassing incident.
When the chef on the side saw this, he was also full of joy.
Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise he would be the one crying.
However, the house was full of the choking smell of chili pepper, and the chef was coughing again and again.
Holding his nose, the chef was quite puzzled.
This thing tastes so weird and smells so bad. Would it taste good if put in a dish?
Looking at the pot full of boiled fish, the chef felt quite sorry.
Alas, a good plate of food was wasted like this.
What a waste of natural resources!
However, Hu Changan remained unmoved and continued to stir-fry his dishes.
After a while, the boiled fish was cooked again.
This time, the boiled fish has many bright red chili peppers floating on the fish, and it looks like the color has definitely improved by more than one degree.
Looking at the bright red boiled fish, Hu Changan couldn't help but move his fingers.
Before time travel, Hu Changan was also the kind of modern person who liked spicy food and would order Malatang hot pot every week.
It has been so long since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, but he has never had a spicy bite.
It wasn't spicy at first, but now a pot of spicy and fragrant boiled fish was placed in front of him, which instantly aroused Hu Changan's greed.
Hu Changan couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and pointed them at the boiled fish with a big chopstick.
Suddenly, the familiar and wonderful taste filled Hu Changan's taste buds.
Hu Changan was so satisfied that he wanted nothing more.
After one bite after another, seeing that there was only a small bottom left of the boiled fish, Hu Changan finally remembered the chef standing beside him.
Hu Changan stopped his chopsticks in embarrassment and said to the chef: "You should try it too, it's delicious."
Originally, the chef didn't want to taste it.
But seeing Hu Changan eating with gusto, the chef was moved.
It looks like this thing is delicious.
If you try it yourself, it shouldn't be a big problem.
So the chef also picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of boiled fish, and tasted it carefully.
But it was this bite that shocked him.
Why is this boiled fish with chili so delicious?!
I just ate chili peppers, and the chef was indeed very spicy.
But once the chili pepper is added to the boiled fish, it blends perfectly with the original peppery and numbing flavor of the boiled fish.
There is a thrill in the mouth at first, and then the spicy and spicy aroma, all kinds of flavors explode in the mouth at once, it is simply the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds.
Now the chef no longer has to worry about poisoning.
As the saying goes, if you die under peonies, you will be a ghost even if you die.
If he were poisoned to death by such delicious food, the chef would be willing to do so!
One bite after another, the chef couldn't stop eating.
In the end, the chef even took the spoon on the side and started drinking the soup directly.
After a while, the large plate of boiled fish was eaten by the two of them, leaving only a little seasoning at the bottom of the bowl.
Touching his bloated stomach, the chef said with satisfaction: "Mr. Hu, your chili is simply amazing!"
"After eating chili pepper, I understood what the best taste in the world is!"
"If you ask me, the Sichuan dishes I cooked before were all dregs. They barely reached the passing mark and were not delicious at all."
"If Mr. Hu puts your chili pepper in, this Sichuan food will have soul."
"This chili pepper can be called the finishing touch!"
The current chef is quite confident in Hu Changan's shop.
He felt that as long as he displayed this delicacy in the world, absolutely everyone would be fascinated by it!
Even if Hu Changan's shop is located in an unknown alley, diners will always crowd the alley.
Not to mention that Hu Changan's shop is located on the most prosperous Qinhuai River in Yingtian City!
The chef seems to have imagined a future scenario where the door will be filled with customers and there will be no time to receive them!
When Hu Changan heard the chef's praise, he smiled slightly and felt relieved.
When Hu Changan saw the chef being so resistant before, he was actually a little worried.
Although chili peppers are in line with modern people's tastes, it would be bad if you are not accustomed to the local culture in Daming.
Fortunately, in the end, the chef proved with facts that no matter who he is, he will be captured by the delicious chili!
However, when faced with the chef's praise, Hu Changan was not overly excited. He just said to the chef mysteriously: "Don't worry, I have more delicious food waiting for you next."
What?
Is there anything more delicious?
The chef suddenly became energetic.
Now he doesn't think there is anything more delicious than chili!
But when he thought that these were Master Hu's words, the chef immediately believed them.
Master Hu is the one who brought out this magical chili pepper. He said it was delicious. Is it possible that it is not delicious?
At this time, the chef had full confidence in Hu Changan.
Seeing the chef's excitement, Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "The thing I'm going to talk about next is called butter."
butter?
The chef was stunned and said: "Is this butter similar to lard?"
"Yes." Hu Changan nodded and gave the chef a positive answer.
How can you make hot pot without making butter hot pot?
You must know that butter is the soul of hot pot!
Butter not only has a strong flavor, but is also very viscous and adheres well to ingredients.
In this way, people can taste the aroma of fat all the time when eating hot pot, which is a unique experience.
Of course, in Daming, beef is edible.
Although in the Western Han Dynasty, Tang and Song Dynasties, in order to increase productivity, the government issued laws prohibiting the killing of cattle and eating beef, but by the Ming Dynasty, productivity was sufficient, and a mere cattle was no longer a rare item.
In the market, you can buy fresh beef if you want to eat it.
Sometimes the price of beef is even lower than that of pork.
Therefore, the chef did not have the slightest objection to boiling butter.
Hu Changan smiled slightly, pointed to the beef prepared in advance and said, "Next, please help me boil some butter."
"No problem!" The chef rolled up his sleeves and started working directly.
As a chef, boiling meat oil is naturally a basic skill.
After a while, a pot of hot butter was ready.
The chef carefully removed the debris from the pot and waited for Hu Changan's next instructions. This chapter has been completed!
