The type of hotpot had already been decided after the lucky draw. After 12:00 am, Yuan Zhou started to serve the hotpot soup to everyone.
There were some hot pot dishes from Sichuan Province, the double hotpot, which took care of people who liked spicy and light food. There were also some nine-grid square hot pot dishes from Shancheng. Others were like the spicy pickled fish hot pot from Guizhou Province, the spicy pickled cabbage and white meat hot pot from Northeast China, or the clear water hot pot from Guangdong Province, which was also called the clear water side stove.
In any case, none of the ten tables had eaten hotpot as if they had discussed it.
In order to cater to the diners, they had brought a lot of people. Not only were the tables custom-made, but the pots were also custom-made. Compared to the usual hot pot, no matter what style it was, it was a few times larger. This way, there was more space for people to display their skills.
Queen Jiang had brought a whole bunch of people with her, and they looked different from the other teams. The ones with the best images were definitely Queen Jiang and Wu Yungui.
At least one could tell that they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Although Wu Yun GUI was a little older, he paid a lot of attention to his health. He did not have a beer belly like most people would have when they were middle-aged. However, the others were almost all big bellies. One look and one could tell that they were very rich.
They had ordered the capital’s copper-stove hot pot with mutton. It was an ancient copper-colored hot pot. Just looking at the pot, one could feel that it was particularly heavy. The hot-boiled mutton was naturally best with clear water. Therefore, although the pot was gurgling and steaming, there were some scallions and ginger slices floating in it. The bottom of the soup could be seen at a glance, and it was clear that it was clear water.
Boss Liu from Xiang province mumbled,””Isn’t the hot pot supposed to be spicy soup? what’s the point of eating plain soup?”
Although the freeloaders felt a little uncomfortable, they didn’t say it out loud. They were all adults and had to stick to their choices.
This time, boss Liu was dragged by boss Wang to join in the fun. Coincidentally, he was going to discuss a project with Jiang Changxi recently but didn’t make any progress. Chinese people loved to discuss business at the dining table the most. When he heard boss Wang mention eating hotpot, he immediately called Jiang Changxi and asked her for a slot in the restaurant by doing all he could to gain boss Wang’s favor.
He had always been a foodie. Naturally, his first reaction when he saw the clear water hotpot was a little displeased. However, it didn’t matter. It would be best if he could build a good relationship with Jiang Changxi.
Seeing that everyone was staring at the pot quietly, boss Liu thought for a while and decided to talk about the project. But before he could say anything, boss Wang, who had been watching him, grabbed his arm with a little force.
“What are you doing?” Boss Liu raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
......
“Are you here to talk business with director Jiang?” Boss Wang asked.
It was the first time for boss Liu to dine at master chef Restaurant. It was also the first time for him to come to Chengdu, so he didn’t know the rules. But boss Wang was a wily old fox. In fact, if he didn’t have a deep cooperative relationship with boss Liu, he would be happy to let boss Liu hit a rebuff. But now, he was also considered as a middleman. If boss Liu did anything wrong, he would have to take joint responsibility. Plus, he admired Yuan Zhou very much, so he was naturally willing to follow the rules of the restaurant.
“We haven’t eaten yet, so isn’t it just right to talk about something in silence?” Boss Liu said with a puzzled look.
“It’s true that the atmosphere is good, but director Jiang doesn’t talk about business when you’re eating here. Besides, this restaurant doesn’t do such things. ” Boss Wang explained.
Boss Liu took a look at boss Wang. It was obvious what he meant. If he didn’t want to talk about work, why did he ask boss Wang to come here for a meal? did he really think that boss Wang was idle? if it wasn’t to talk about business with Jiang Changxi, he wouldn’t come here for a meal. After having a meal, he could also rush to the construction site to see the situation.
He also knew that boss Wang would definitely not cheat him. It was most likely out of good intentions. Thinking about it, even if they didn’t talk about business, chatting could also improve their relationship. This wasn’t a loss.
Just when boss Liu was eager to start a conversation with Jiang Changxi, the dishes were served. The copper stove was filled with clear water. Naturally, it was the best match with the hot-boiled mutton, Chinese cabbage, and tofu. When it was matched with the authentic sesame sauce, it was simply a great enjoyment.
The hotpot served by Yuan Zhou was naturally different from the hotpot restaurants in other places. There was no special place for seasoning, no snacks, and only side dishes that could be ordered. There was even no cooked food, only various ingredients for the hotpot. As usual, the style of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was continued. Almost all the customers were used to it. Even those who were here for the first time also followed the local custom.
Boss Liu thought it would be better to have a bowl of chili sauce, but they were all sesame sauce. It was not good for him to be special. He knew that he could only bond with the others if he was like them.
“This mutton is very beautiful.” Boss Liu thought to himself.
Ten large plates of mutton were served, and everyone had one in front of them. The mutton had a white base and red meat. It was cut so thin that the snow-white color of the plate could almost be seen through the mutton. Boss Liu didn’t notice it at first, but when it was hot and he picked it up with his chopsticks, he really got a taste of what it meant to be as thin as cicada’s wings.
Looking at the light slice on his chopsticks, boss Liu sighed with emotion. At the same time, he was worried that it would fall directly into the pot and not be eaten when he was cooking. He looked carefully at the thick slice on the plate, so he gave up the idea of changing to a thicker slice.
“Why are they all the same? if only they were thicker.” Boss Liu muttered.
Although he had never eaten mutton cooked in such clear water before, he knew that it was a standard dish for hotpot mutton rolls.
He stretched the Lamb slices to his side and blanched them in the boiling water a few times. The color of the Lamb slices changed in less than two seconds. They were still quite intact, and did not break into pieces and fall into the water as he was worried about.
It would be better if the mutton slices were so thin. After all, the heat was short and it could be eaten in a short time.
“Phew ...”
After blowing on the steaming mutton twice, boss Liu couldn’t wait to put it into his mouth. When it was close to the tip of his nose, he could vaguely smell the milk fragrance, but he didn’t expect that after putting it into his mouth, the milk fragrance would become even stronger. The unbelievably smooth and tender meat slices melted with just a light sip. The rich gravy swept over and slowly slid into his stomach. The thick warmth spread to his limbs and bones in an instant, making him feel warm from head to toe.
“It’s so comfortable,” Boss Liu felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up. It was very comfortable.
It was as if he was standing under the warm winter sun in the biting cold winter. It was an indescribable comfort.
The faint Milky fragrance constantly awakened boss Liu’s taste buds, making him subconsciously put another slice into the hot water. It was ready to be eaten in a short while.
This time, boss Liu chose to dip the meat in the sauce. The beautiful jade white meat was covered with a layer of strong sauce, and the color became darker. The smell of sesame constantly stimulated his taste buds, and boss Liu quickly put the meat into his mouth.
The smell of the sesame sauce was already fragrant, and when it entered the mouth, it was naturally even more fragrant. The rich and soft taste, coupled with the fresh and juicy mutton, the two ingredients that were originally unrelated, blended together perfectly. There was simply no other dish that was more suitable than the two of them.
