Seeing everyone like this, Li Mo couldn't help but laugh. A chili and butter hotpot actually scared them into looking like this, even experts like Xue Song and Wang Changling did the same.
"Look...it tastes like this!"
There was no point in explaining more. Li Mo took the lead in picking up a few large pieces of raw beef with chopsticks and threw them into the copper basin. Then he picked up a piece of tripe and put it into the hot bottom of the pot.
There is a saying about eating hairy tripe called seven ups and eight downs.
Back and forth, Li Mo rinsed the tripe, dipped it in the mixing bowl, and then put the tripe into his mouth.
"This this....."
Li Mo originally wanted to set an example, but who knew that this scene would frighten everyone again. Then he ate the tripe like this? In the eyes of everyone, it was almost the same as eating it raw? How could he be so cruel?
But seeing their master eating so deliciously, what else could they do?
Even if you have to bite the bullet, you have to go.
After a while, everyone imitated Li Mo and started rinsing their bellies.
"We want to live together, and we want to die together... Anyway, if Mr. Lang dies, I won't live alone."
Looking at the tripe that had been placed in the mixing bowl, Xue Song's eyes narrowed. He simply dipped the tripe into his mouth and chewed it.
"This... what is this smell? Why have I never experienced it before!"
However, as the tripe entered his mouth, a spiciness hit his taste buds, which almost made Xue Song float. Coupled with the crispy and refreshing taste of the tripe, he couldn't help but hum.
Xue Song behaved this way, and others behaved similarly.
Especially Wang Changling, after taking down the chopsticks, before Li Mo could speak again, he picked up another piece of tripe and started to rinse it in the pot.
"So happy! So happy! This taste..."
then,
The tripe on the square table was swept away in one sweep, and everyone focused on the beef again.
Although there were slight drops of sweat on the tips of Xue Song and Wang Changling's spicy noses, this feeling made them feel very happy, even better than drinking alcohol.
Unconsciously, half an hour later, the washed dishes on the square table had been swept away. Although Xue Song and others were full, they still had some unfinished food.
"Lang Jun, what kind of ingredient is it?"
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Xue Song and Wang Changling asked together.
At this time, they will naturally no longer think that this is a pot of "poison". After traveling in the world for many years, it can be said that this meal is the most enjoyable and enjoyable meal they have ever had. They even feel that if they had such delicious food as their companions when they were traveling in the world, they would
More wanton and happy.
"The name of this thing is chili pepper. I accidentally saw it in an ancient book. I happened to come across it today and made some."
Li Mo made up a random reason.
"It turns out to be like this... No wonder! No wonder!"
Everyone was filled with emotion and became more and more satisfied.
"By the way, Duan Chong, you are the chef. How much will the meal cost for us today? If this meal is sold in Yibo Building, how much will it cost?"
After a pause, Li Mo turned around and asked.
He had actually been quietly observing everyone's reactions when everyone was eating hot pot. Now it seems that the taste of hot pot is very suitable for the taste of people here, so it would be a good idea to sell it.
"Mr. Lang, I wonder how many chili peppers there are?"
After making a rough estimate, Duan Chong said seriously.
"not many!"
Li Mo told the truth, although there are still many manors, the peppers have not yet been grown on a large scale, so one meal is missing.
"Then... it should sell for at least a hundred taels!"
Duan Chong nodded heavily.
"What? One hundred taels?"
Everyone was shocked, even Li Mo was surprised. The ingredients for this meal would not cost more than one tael at most, and a hundred taels for takeout... It was not too profitable at all.
The most important thing is that a meal costs one hundred taels of silver, and I'm afraid not many diners in the entire Dongdu can afford it.
"Lang Jun, things are rare and valuable! Not to mention the major restaurants in Luoyang, the eastern capital, even the royal family may not be able to make such a meal. Selling a hundred taels is not expensive!"
Duan Chong said again.
As a restaurant chef, he certainly knows the importance of seasoning. Obviously, the soul of this dish is chili pepper.
This thing is only available in Yibo Building, it is valuable!
"Okay, I will teach you how to make this meal later, and you can try it tomorrow..."
Li Mo nodded, what Duan Chong said made sense.
"Ah? Mr. Lang wants to teach me how to make this top-notch meal?"
Duan Chong was shocked, this...
In the world of chefs, there are three ways to cook top-notch dishes that are not taught, but my husband actually wants to teach me... It seems that he does not regard himself as an outsider. He was overthinking it before and was not good enough.
While excited,
Duan Chong immediately stood up, knelt on the ground and swore a blood oath.
"Mr. Lang, I, Duan Chong, would like to serve Lang Jun as my master in this life...If I violate this oath, I will be struck by five thunders from heaven!"
"Huh? What are you..."
Li Mo was stunned.
At this time, Erhou, Lu Fang, and Miao Fei looked at each other, got up, knelt on one knee, and imitated Duan Chong in making the blood oath of master and servant.
This was all something they had discussed before, and now it's just a matter of course.
Seeing this, Xue Song and Wang Changling didn't say anything but looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction. In this way, the entire Yibo Building will be their husband's people, and it will be much easier to do things.
"Master, please take me in!"
"Okay, you guys get up first, and then we can make a living together..."
........
In this way, as the four people recognized their master, the hot pot feast ended completely, and everyone helped to pack up their things.
Li Mo, Xue Song, and Wang Changling entered the inner hall first to talk about business.
"Master, the matter you arranged has been completed..."
Calming his mind, Wang Changling took the lead.
"Has it been done? So quickly?"
Li Mo was shocked.
A few days ago, he secretly asked Wang Changling to go to a coppersmith to make those Chinese character modules. Each Chinese character is at least a hundred or more the size of a little finger, and more than a thousand are commonly used. In addition, there are some radicals for emergencies.
It feels like it will take a month or two anyway, but I never thought I could finish it today.
"Master, although this matter is extremely difficult for ordinary coppersmiths, as an eighth-grade mid-level swordsman, his skills are far beyond ordinary."
Wang Changling nodded.
"oh!"
Li Mo understood, so it seems... Wang Changling also put a lot of effort into creating those Chinese character modules, otherwise it would not have been so fast.
"Master, the coppersmith outside the city will deliver those items to Yibo Building later tomorrow. You see..."
After a pause, Wang Changling said again.
"Ship it to Yibo Building? No! No need! Ship it directly to the manor outside the city."
After thinking for a moment, Li Mo waved his hand.
The place in Yibo Building is very small and not suitable for printing and typesetting at all. However, the manor outside the city is extremely spacious and secluded, so it is perfect for movable type printing.
"Manor outside the city?"
Xue Song and Wang Changling were stunned at the same time.
