Early the next morning, Li Changan went out carrying two gourds of wine and the newly prepared hot pot base.
I walked around the blacksmith shop and hurried to Zhang Kee Winery with the newly made brass hot pot in hand.
I thought only Boss Zhang was there, but I didn't expect that Gu Jiaoyu was also there.
"I've met Gu Jiaoyu." Li Changan quickly saluted.
"What is this?" Gu Weidao asked with great curiosity when he saw the object in Li Changan's arms.
"Is this the hot pot you were talking about yesterday?" Zhang Fugui was amazed when he saw the small boiler Li Changan was playing with.
I have never seen such a strange pot before. Most pots are iron pots, but this small pot is not only made of brass, but also looks very strange.
"Boss Zhang, is the charcoal ready?"
"After you said it yesterday, I asked the waiter to prepare it. There are also slices of beef, pork belly, and pork kidneys... Do you want it now?"
"Well, we can eat it soon." Li Changan couldn't help but salivate at the thought of eating hot pot in this world.
Zhang Fugui and Gu Weidao just watched Li Changan working.
"What is hot pot?" Gu Weidao poked Zhang Fugui.
"Didn't I tell you this morning?" Zhang Fugui never took his eyes off the brass hot pot on the table. "Our business is currently blocked, so this guy wants to take advantage of the opportunity to change his business."
"We'll just try it out later. If it tastes good, we'll change it."
Gu Weidao was startled, "Have you really decided to gamble?"
"I can't do it without gambling. The business of the wine shop is not very good to begin with. I just found Xiao Qi's family recently. I can hardly make ends meet with the current income alone..."
Zhang Fugui shook his head helplessly, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "This kid from Chang'an has a lot of clever ideas. As long as the hot pot is really delicious, I might as well take a gamble."
Gu Weidao sighed softly, "I really don't know what to say to you. You have a hundred brothers under your command, do you really have to take care of them all?"
"Even if I give you a big restaurant, it won't be enough."
"Then what can we do? My brothers are all dead, and I am the only one who escaped from purgatory with half my life. At least I can let them rest in peace under the spring?"
Gu Weidao looked at Zhang Fugui and said nothing.
Soon, the two people's emotions disappeared.
The entire lobby of the restaurant was filled with a spicy aroma that made people salivate.
Looking at the red oil boiling soup in the brass hot pot, Zhang Fugui and Gu Weidao couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Li Changan picked up a piece of beef. It was a thin piece. I have to say that the knife skills were really good. It was as thin as a piece of paper, but it remained intact.
After putting it in the hot pot and simmering it for less than three breaths, the beef was already cooked. Li Changan didn't care about scalding it, and the saliva in his mouth was almost flowing out, so he quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
He chewed it two or three times, then swallowed it whole.
Damn, that’s cool!
typical!
Li Changan was inexplicably moved and almost burst into tears.
That’s what it tastes like!
Authentic mountain city spicy hotpot!
It would be even better if I had another cup of ice cream.
Pity.
Forget it, the flaws are not concealed, I will have a cup of iced sour plum soup later, it will be just as refreshing.
Without bothering to greet the other two people, Li Changan picked up another piece of tripe and put it into his mouth.
It's crunchy and crispy, opening up all the taste buds in your mouth.
This is the essence of hot pot.
Zhang Fugui and Gu Weidao on the side couldn't help it. The fragrance in the air made people swallow their saliva. Coupled with Li Changan's exaggerated expression, who could stand it?
Each person has a pair of chopsticks and can learn from others.
A piece of beef fell into his belly.
"Ah...hiss..."
"Ah...hiss..."
The spicy food makes people stick out their tongues, and the numb lips tremble, but it really makes people unable to stop.
I've never eaten anything like this.
It's fragrant, spicy and numb, going straight to the forehead.
After just one bite, Gu Weidao's head started to sweat and his scalp was numb, but he still couldn't help but take down the chopsticks.
Zhang Fugui was better, but not much better. He exhaled loudly and moved his chopsticks faster than anyone else.
Li Changan took several bites and let out a long sigh of relief.
It’s great, it’s great.
Seeing Zhang Fugui and Gu Weidao eating enthusiastically, they kept talking about spicy food, but they ate faster than the other.
Li Changan smiled and opened a wine gourd, poured two glasses of wine and placed them in front of the two of them.
Gu Weidao took a deep breath and coughed instantly, but he kept his mouth shut, his face turned red from choking, and he still swallowed the wine, and then looked at Li Changan in disbelief.
Zhang Fugui laughed out loud when he saw Gu Weidao like this, "They say you, Gu Jiaoyu, love wine, what kind of good wine have you drunk? You are really ignorant."
As he said this, he swallowed the tripe in his mouth and felt stuffy.
Li Changan couldn't bear to look at them directly. Each of these two people was more exaggerated than the other, and he wished that his ears were breathing out.
A face turned red from holding back.
"This...this...what kind of wine?"
Zhang Fugui asked quickly without straightening his tongue.
Gu Weidao sneered, "Talk about me? Are you embarrassed?"
Li Changan smiled and said, "This is Tou Guo wine."
Zhang Fugui's eyes widened and he said, "Dear me, where did Lao Shizi's Tou Guo wine come from? It's going to kill me."
Li Changan poured another cup of Tou Guo wine for the two of them.
At this time, Zhang Fugui and Gu Weidao did not drink directly. Instead, they first picked up the wine glasses and looked at them carefully, and then put their noses up to smell them.
"The wine is as pure as a clear spring."
“The aroma of wine is refreshing.”
Then drink it in one sip and go straight down your throat into your belly.
The two couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
“It’s really a good wine.”
Gu Weidao thought about it carefully and looked at Li Chang'an with hot eyes, "Chang'an, does this wine come from the same source as the wine you usually bring?"
Zhang Fugui also stared closely at him.
Li Changan didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "The wine we bring here on weekdays is made by mixing this wine with water."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a waste of natural resources, what a waste of natural resources." Gu Weidao sighed and shook his head, "I would rather drink a sip of Touguo wine than a jar of ordinary wine."
"You really hurt me. You drank Tou Guo wine. How do you want me to drink other wines in the future?"
Li Changan burst into laughter. Except for the last time he talked about chess, this was the first time he had seen Gu Jiaoyu lose his temper like this, and it was just for a glass of wine.
"If you like the teachings and don't dare to say too much, you can still have a pot every day." Li Changan said with a smile, "I just don't know which one is better than the Baihua Brewing from Qingyue Tower?"
After asking this question, the table became quiet again, leaving only the boiling soup gurgling in the hot pot.
Zhang Fugui smacked his lips and said, "Touguo wine is refreshing and Baihua ferment is fragrant. It's not quite comparable...but I prefer Touguo wine. I drink it happily."
Gu Weidao thought for a moment and tasted it carefully, "That's right. Tou Guo wine is more to my taste, but when compared, the two should be almost the same."
"The Baihua Nong is silky in the mouth, rich and fragrant, suitable for drinking; your Touguo wine is dry and refreshing, and has more strength. Anyone who loves wine will definitely like it."
Li Changan suddenly understood when he heard this, "So Touguojiu can equal Baihuaniang?"
Gu Weidao and the other two nodded.
"In that case, please ask Gu Jiaoyu and Boss Zhang to try this glass of wine again."
Li Changan opened the second wine gourd and poured another drink for the two of them.
Gu Weidao shrugged his nose, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he carefully picked up the wine glass, fearing that a drop would spill.
Like Touguo Liquor, the liquor is clear.
But the aroma of this wine is stronger than the first glass.
He raised his head and drank the full glass of wine.
Gu Weidao closed his eyes and sighed for a long time, "The wine is mellow in quality, sweet and refreshing in the mouth, and has endless aftertaste..."
"If this wine is taken out, Baihua Niang will be ashamed of itself."
Zhang Fugui heard Gu Weidao's exaggeration and asked, "Isn't that right?"
He also took a sip and almost turned the table over, "How does this damn girl compare to Baihua Niang? Baihua Niang is not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
"What kind of wine is this?"
Gu Weidao and Zhang Fugui both looked at Li Changan.
Li Changan said, "Erguotou!"
Before the two of them could speak, Li Changan looked at Zhang Fugui and said, "Boss Zhang, with these Erguotou and hot pot, can a hot pot restaurant be opened?"
"Yes! Whoever doesn't open the door will have his head poked out by the donkey!" Zhang Fugui patted his chest and made a banging sound.
The sight of these five men with thick beards made Li Changan's eyelids jump.
