"Mr. Sir, do you want to prepare the meals yourself?"
After half a stick of incense, everyone in Yibolou who heard the news blocked the door of the kitchen, including the newly recruited waiters.
"Isn't the master a talented book writer? Why can he even do such a rough job?"
A new guy poked his head around, puzzled.
When they were bought, Xue Song clearly told them that they would work in a book club in the future and would follow their owner Li Mo to write manuscripts. The book club's "Journey to the West" Shi'e Zhuan was very popular.
This book was written by the owner himself, and his talent is evident.
Throughout the ages, I have never heard of anyone with talent being able to cook meals.
"The master is very mysterious. What does it mean to know how to cook? Only then did I realize that even masters like Brother Xue and Shi Mo were his attendants... How could a book writer take over such subordinates? I simply didn't dare
Imagine, there is also the master..."
The other guy was calm.
"Shh...Brother Xue told me that some things should not be known to outsiders!"
Just when the waiter wanted to say something more, another waiter pulled the waiter who was about to speak and turned his head to the side and pouted angrily.
Say it's a coincidence or not,
The movements of these two clerks were clearly seen by Erhou and the accounting clerk Lu Fang, who were blocked outside.
"Outsiders? We are outsiders..."
The two of them glanced at each other subconsciously, then glanced at the chef Duan Chong and the assistant cook Miao Fei who were clearing away the tables and chairs, with very complicated emotions.
When word spread that their husband wanted to prepare meals himself, Duan Chong and Miao Fei offered to help. As a result, Li Mo said that the meals he prepared were very simple, and the two had a good rest after a busy day. Finally, they took Xue Song and
Cheng Yiran went into the kitchen.
In fact, Li Mo had good intentions.
After all, you don’t need to be an expert in cooking to make hot pot. You just need to prepare the base ingredients, add the broth, and put the vegetables in to cook.
But this kind intention actually made Erhou, Duan Chong and Miao Fei have other ideas.
Counting the guys recruited today, there are only four of them in Yibo Building who have an employment relationship with Li Mo, while everyone else has a master-servant relationship.
At this moment, it became even more uncomfortable to hear that even the new employees were treating them as outsiders and were still on guard.
"How about we..."
After a moment, the two monkeys whispered to Lu Fang.
He knew that Lu Fang should be able to understand what he meant.
"Lang Jun is kind and low-key, and since he came to the restaurant, the restaurant's business has become extremely hot. If it weren't for Lang Jun... maybe Yibo Lou would have... I think it would be a waste to follow him to make a living.
Good choice.”
After a moment of silence, Lu Fang nodded heavily.
He also discovered this problem in recent days. Sometimes Xue Song would obviously avoid them when arranging some things. On the surface, he knew that he was not qualified to participate in certain things, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Even the maid who just bought it today... But they...
"Okay, actually, I've had this plan for a long time. I'm going to discuss it with Chef Duan and Chef Miao."
Hearing this, the two monkeys were delighted and said hurriedly.
"Um!"
........
As the in-house cook, Li Mo didn't know that one of his good intentions would inadvertently lead to him getting a few more followers who would recognize him as his master.
At this time, he was cooking the hot pot base based on the memory in his mind, while Xue Song and Cheng were still washing vegetables and cutting meat.
The dried chilies brought back from the manor have been cleaned, and some have been crushed into chili powder. All the chili seeds have been taken out and placed in a small bag. This is hope for the future and cannot be eaten.
In the kitchen, in addition to chili peppers, others are similar to salt, pepper, star anise, kaempferol, strawberry, thyme, thyme, cinnamon, fragrant fruit, bay leaves, white musk, nutmeg, Amomum villosum, Bibo, licorice,
Lemongrass, fennel, lingcao, paicao and other ingredients needed for Sichuan hot pot are all available.
Butter and broth are also available,
Just follow the steps and start cooking.
Stab!
Heat the oil in a pan...
In this way, amid Xue Song and Cheng Yiran's confusion, after working for about an hour, Li Mo poured the hot pot base that was finally cooked into the copper basin.
Not sure if it was a matter of traveling back in time or because he hadn't had hot pot for a long time. Li Mo tasted it a little and even felt that the soup base of this pot was more authentic than the hot pot soup base of some well-known chain brands on the earth.
"Brother Xue, that's it! You and Yi Yiang will take out all the washed vegetables and prepare a charcoal basin."
"Is this good?"
Hearing this, Xue Song felt increasingly uncertain.
How to eat this?
The pot looks like a basin of soup. Could it be that the soup is poured onto the freshly washed lettuce and meat? This is too... cruel!
However, after much thought, Xue Song still followed Li Mo's arrangements.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the mixing bowl!"
Li Mo touched his chin and started working again.
Vinegar, garlic, chili, sesame...
There was no hot pot in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Song and the others definitely didn't know how to prepare the mixing bowl. With the mixing bowl, the hot pot tasted more perfect. Hot pot without the mixing bowl has no soul.
This busy work lasted another half an hour.
When Li Mo came out of the kitchen with the prepared ingredients bowl, he found everyone staring at each other in front of a square table, at a loss.
"Owner!"
Surprisingly, Wang Changling had just rushed back from outside. When he saw Li Mo, he nodded and saluted, but anyone could see his doubts.
After traveling around the world for decades, I have never seen this way of eating.
It is both a charcoal basin and a soup basin, and the soup in this soup basin is red in color, just like the poison Heding Red that has been rumored for a long time in the world. It is really scary.
"Sir is back? Just in time! Brother Xue, put the copper basin on top of the charcoal basin."
Seeing that the charcoal fire was raging, Li Mo ordered.
"Okay, Mr. Lang!"
Hearing this, Xue Song hurriedly followed the instructions.
"Come, everyone, sit down! Help yourself to the dishes and chopsticks."
Li Mo once again motioned for everyone to sit down, including Erhou and others.
The square table is not small, so although it is a bit crowded, it is not a big problem.
Gudududu...
The heat from the brazier is more direct than the induction cooker on earth, and it doesn't take long for the hot pot soup in the copper basin to boil.
see the situation,
Li Mo had subconsciously started to swallow his saliva, while the faces of the others at the table were getting paler and paler.
"Mr. Lang, how do you eat this...will there be any problems? As the ancients said, anything with bright colors must be poisonous. It..."
Come back to your senses,
Looking at the red soup rolling up and down in the copper basin, Xue Song finally couldn't hold it back.
"Xue Langjun is right. I have been traveling around the world for many years... I have never seen such ingredients. I wonder where the owner got them? In case of poisoning, we don't have an antidote...
"
Someone spoke, and Wang Changling also touched his beard beside him and said with deep concern.
You could tell that he was really worried.
It’s true that I admire my master’s talent, but this meal... I really don’t know what to do with it.
