Hu Changan smiled slightly and said: "Next, you can add onions, ginger, and garlic to the butter, stir fry until fragrant, and then take it out."
After hearing this, the chef quickly followed the instructions.
After a while, the onions, ginger, and garlic were fried in butter.
A scent suddenly filled the small kitchen.
Then Hu Changan ordered the chef: "Next, add appropriate amounts of bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise and peppercorns."
"The portion should be the same as the fish you just boiled."
"Of course, there's also my chili."
Since it is butter hot pot, soul chili is naturally a must.
This time, the chef did not resist, but happily accepted the chili from Hu Changan.
In the eyes of the chef, this is no longer just a simple seasoning, but a magical thing that can turn decay into something magical!
This is definitely an improvement in the history of cooking!
This time, Hu Changan did not give specific instructions to the chef on how to operate.
After all, the chef also has many years of experience in making Sichuan cuisine.
Hu Changan felt that his three-legged cat cooking skills were definitely not as good as other people's professional cooking skills.
Since there are professionals here, it is better for them to interfere less where they should not.
Of course, Hu Changan did not directly add whole chili peppers to enhance the flavor.
After all, the chili peppers Hu Changan exchanged from the system were only adequate, and there were no spare chili peppers for decoration.
However, although there is no whole chili pepper to add flavor, if you chop the chili pepper and pour it down, the spiciness will definitely be enough.
For these ancient people, it is better to gradually increase the spiciness.
After a short time, the fragrant and delicious butter was successfully fried.
The chef poured the butter into another bowl and lowered his hands to wait for Hu Changan's next instructions.
Hu Changan smiled slightly and continued: "Next, just make the seasoning for boiled fish again, but remember not to add fish, just make soup."
"After making the soup, just pour the butter you just made into it."
With that said, Hu Changan handed the chef another chili pepper.
As for the chili pepper, naturally one should be put in the butter and one in the soup.
After hearing this, the chef went to work quickly.
After a while, a large pot of hot pot soup base was ready.
Hu Changan couldn't help but take in a breath of intoxication.
Ah, this is the taste of hometown.
At this time, the chef was also preparing to pour the soup into the bowl aside step by step.
However, Hu Changan stopped him: "It's okay, just leave the soup in the pot first, and remember not to extinguish the stove fire."
When the chef heard what he was told, he did as he was told.
It seems that Master Hu wants to show off his cooking skills.
Sure enough, Hu Changan took the mutton on the side and started cutting it.
This raw mutton is really not easy to cut.
Only frozen mutton can be cut into thin slices more easily.
Fresh mutton is really not easy to cut.
Hu Changan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Hey, it would be great if there was a refrigerator these days. It would be so convenient to just take it in and freeze it.
But it is a pity that in Ming Dynasty, many of the prerequisite technologies that must be developed to manufacture refrigerators have not yet been formed.
It is simply impossible to build a refrigerator.
Therefore, Hu Changan had no choice but to give up his fantasy and continue to cut the mutton.
After cutting it for a long time, Hu Changan finally cut the whole piece of mutton into small pieces.
Although it is not as thin as the mutton rolls of later generations, it is still barely enough to be cooked in a pot.
Hu Changan smiled slightly, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into the pot to rinse it.
After a while, the color of the mutton changed.
Hu Changan quickly picked up his chopsticks and tasted it.
When it comes to ancient ingredients, they are absolutely authentic, without the blessing of any black technology.
So Hu Changan felt that this mutton was even more delicious than what he had eaten in his previous life.
However, the chef was quite puzzled when he saw how Hu Changan was eating.
Ever since he was born, he had never seen such a weird cooking method.
What, is it possible to cook and eat at the same time?
Just when the chef was puzzled, Hu Changan thought of him: "Would you like to try it too? The freshly cut mutton is delicious!"
So, although the chef was very confused, at Hu Changan's warm invitation, he took a pair of chopsticks and started eating like Hu Changan did.
As soon as the mutton entered his mouth, the chef couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
This lamb is so delicious!
The freshly cooked mutton is delicious and tempting.
The mutton cooked by yourself eliminates the possibility of overcooking and does not look old at all.
Coupled with the unique fragrance of butter, it is definitely a must-have!
The chef couldn't help but admire Hu Changan's admiration.
What kind of magical brain can come up with such rich delicacies!
He has been a chef for so many years, but he has never thought of such a novel way of eating.
This is simply a chef!
However, the doubts in the chef's mind still lingered.
"Mr. Hu, if you cook it and eat it on the spot, it really tastes good."
"But we can do this in the back kitchen, but we can't do it when we officially open."
"After all, it's impossible for all the guests to crowd into the kitchen."
After hearing this, Hu Changan smiled slightly and said, "What you said is wrong."
"Since guests can't come to the back kitchen, we can move the back kitchen to the front!"
"As long as firewood is lit under each table, wouldn't the guests be able to cook and eat at the same time like us?"
The chef was shocked.
What?
How could it still be done like this?
However, the chef was stunned for a moment and thought of something wrong.
"Master Hu, you can't do this!"
"If the guests are allowed to do it themselves, what will we, the chefs, do?"
"Besides, the smell in this kitchen is so strong. If the guests do it themselves, the smell will definitely be stained on their clothes!"
"This is absolutely disrespectful to diners!"
After hearing this, Hu Changan also smiled slightly.
It seems that the chef is also a sensible person, and he immediately pointed out the shortcomings of hot pot.
Indeed, the taste of hot pot is quite good.
In his previous life, sometimes after Hu Changan went out to eat hot pot, there would be a smell on his clothes that he couldn't get rid of.
However, those are low-quality hot pots. What Hu Changan wants to make is high-end hot pots.
"I believe that diners will not mind these small details in order to eat the freshest food."
"Besides, when I decorate the front, I can make a special exhaust duct."
"As long as the design is good, the smoke generated when diners burn things can be directly discharged to the outside."
"In this way, the smoke will not accumulate indoors and cause the diners to smell."
"If that doesn't work, I can also distribute a burqa to each of the diners."
"As long as you wear my specially made burqa, the smell will stay on the burqa and will not contaminate the diners' own clothes."
