Chapter 422 Spicy Hotpot
He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, his words slightly muffled, "It's so delicious! Auntie, your spicy hot pot is absolutely amazing!"
His words seemed to ignite a fuse, and a group of younger people joined in the commotion, picking up their chopsticks and devouring the spicy and numbing dishes.
Dongfang Jin smiled broadly, her eyes full of doting: "Eat more if you like, there's plenty of food at home."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
The children cheered and then gathered around the table to enjoy the delicious feast.
Gu Mingxiu stood upright to the side, his gaze filled with a hint of doting as he watched Gu Ruizhe devour his food like a hungry tiger.
With a calm expression, he elegantly picked up a plate of braised pork hot pot and gently shook his head.
In a soothing tone: "Compared to these spicy and numbing flavors, I prefer the savory flavor of soy sauce."
Its unique salty and savory flavor, along with its rich, savory sauce aroma, makes it a perfect match for all kinds of ingredients.
After saying that, he picked up a large shrimp covered in sauce and put it in his mouth.
The shrimp meat was firm and bouncy, and the rich sauce spread across the taste buds, with just the right amount of saltiness and aroma, bringing a satisfied expression to his face.
On the other side, Gu Yunxiao, holding a wine glass, clinked glasses with his brother-in-law Chu Yunzhu with an air of nonchalance: "I've discovered that I have a special fondness for this spicy hot pot."
Chu Yunzhu pointed to the tempting-looking Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns in the spicy hot pot, tilting her head slightly.
He asked in a low voice, "Did the princess bring all these rare ingredients?"
Gu Yunxiao raised his eyes and looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law who were whispering to their wife. A smile appeared on his lips: "These ingredients were all made by my younger brother and sister-in-law."
My younger brother told me that these shiitake mushrooms can be grown in greenhouses.
Now, some people have successfully grown it and are even leading the whole village to do it together.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingyun raised her eyebrows slightly, her face full of surprise: "This thing that no one cares about in the mountains can actually be cultivated artificially?"
Gu Yunxiao nodded firmly: "That's right, the shiitake mushrooms we grow are now exclusively supplied to Ping An Restaurant."
You know that restaurant, right? I heard that their recipes are all from their younger brother and sister-in-law.
I also heard from my younger brother that Ping An Restaurant gives his wife a share of the profits.
Today, there are more than 30 newly opened Ping An restaurants in Qingzhou.
It's easy to imagine how much the younger siblings received in dividends.
Chu Junfan was already deeply attracted by the garlic hot pot, and couldn't wait to pick up a spoon, scoop out a big spoonful and put it in his mouth.
In an instant, the aroma of garlic exploded in his mouth, making his eyes redden, but he kept breathing out.
He kept saying, "Delicious! This garlic flavor is so addictive!"
I never knew garlic could be made so delicious! This garlic hot pot is amazing!
At the same time, Shen Qihui and Chu Fanhao, like charging warriors, launched an attack on the steaming hot pot.
Soon, a strong, spicy aroma filled the air around them.
Shen Qihui's forehead veins bulged slightly, and his round eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to suck the food in the pot.
He picked up a piece of pork belly coated in chili oil, stuffed it into his mouth, and instantly, the scalding spiciness shot from the tip of his tongue straight to his head.
His face turned purplish-red, like a ripe tomato, and his lips trembled slightly.
Then he started breathing heavily and sweating uncontrollably, with beads of sweat appearing on the tip of his nose.
On Chu Fanhao's side, the battle was equally fierce.
He frantically fanned himself while stuffing handfuls of greens into his mouth, trying to alleviate the spiciness.
However, the chili peppers were too potent, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes from the heat.
The snot slid down my cheeks and kept coming out of my nose uncontrollably.
He didn't care about his appearance and just pulled out a handkerchief to wipe himself haphazardly.
Even though he was scrambling and disheveled from the spiciness, his chopsticks continued to stir the pot rapidly, showing no sign of stopping.
In this "spicy hot pot battle," the two brothers were so hot that tears streamed down their faces, but they were so engrossed in the joy of fighting for the food that they couldn't tear themselves away.
Upon seeing this scene, Chu Junfan suddenly felt that the garlic flavor in his mouth had lost its taste.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to the slightly spicy hot pot, and his chopsticks involuntarily reached out towards it.
Seeing his cousin's embarrassment, Gu Jingye suppressed a laugh and pushed the mildly spicy hot pot towards him: "Cousin, try this."
When I first started eating spicy food, I was just like you.
The other people at the table, who were younger than the others, witnessed everything and were all blushing with suppressed rage.
His shoulders trembled slightly as he tried hard to suppress his laughter.
A carved rosewood screen separates the bustling noise, while wisps of sandalwood incense drift faintly from a carved bronze incense burner.
The chef, wearing a clean white apron, steadily carried a large earthenware pot of spicy hot pot.
He hurried through the corridor and placed it in the center of Gu Chenglin's table.
In an instant, a hot and intense aroma, accompanied by rising steam, instantly "ignited" the surrounding air like a surging tide.
The aroma was so intense that it made everyone's noses twitch slightly.
The cravings in one's stomach are quickly aroused, making one eager to find out more.
In the ceramic pot, various ingredients are intertwined, resembling a colorful and meticulously painted oil painting.
Bright red dried chilies and glossy bell peppers, vibrant and fiery, tightly surround the tempting fresh shrimp.
The shrimp are coated in chili oil and sprinkled with fine white sesame seeds.
Under the light, it gleamed with a captivating luster, as if draped in a magnificent robe.
The pork belly is carefully pan-fried until it develops an enticing brown color, resembling a crispy "golden armor."
Golden potato strips, bright green broccoli, dark brown wood ear mushrooms, soft and chewy rice cake strips, and other ingredients such as corn segments and lotus root slices are scattered among the ingredients.
Each ingredient is evenly coated with a rich sauce, shimmering with a captivating luster in the sunlight, as if telling a story of its unique deliciousness.
Dongfang Lingyun parted her lips slightly, took out silver chopsticks, picked up a potato slice soaked in soup, and slowly put it into her mouth.
The moment your tongue touches the potato slice, a slightly crispy sensation comes first, followed by a burst of spicy and savory flavors that explode in your mouth like fireworks.
"This...this...this is the potato we grow on our farm?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, "Potatoes can be cooked like this? The taste is absolutely amazing!"
The hot and spicy broth is like a powerful wave, crashing against your taste buds in wave after wave, making you want to eat with gusto.
Chu Yunzhu smiled, picked up a piece of golden pork belly, and chewed it slowly.
The aroma of meat and spices intertwine between your teeth, and the chewy texture of the pork belly is simply delightful.
One bite and the broth bursts forth, creating a feast for the senses.
The prawns in the bowl are especially delicious; the prawn meat is firm and springy, and the spicy flavor slowly spreads along the texture of the prawn meat.
The collision of freshness and spiciness is like a cluster of dazzling sparks, making every bite full of surprises and intoxicating.
In this feast for the taste buds, the spiciness of chili peppers is undoubtedly the main theme, while the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns is like a lively musical note, cleverly interspersed throughout.
The two complement each other, stimulating the secretion of saliva and gastric juices.
As everyone chewed, they felt the food getting spicier and spicier, and the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat. They were completely immersed in this unique flavor and couldn't stop.
As everyone savored the food, they praised the ingredients highly, and laughter echoed throughout the hall.
Meanwhile, at the women's table, among the younger generation, was Chu Lingling—Gu Yunhu's five-year-old daughter.
His eyes widened, and his face flushed with excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Pointing her tiny, delicate hand at the fragrant hot pot, she excitedly exclaimed, "Try this!"
The mushrooms in this savory dish are many varieties I've never seen before. They taste incredibly delicious and have a wonderfully chewy texture.
This was the first time I'd ever tasted fresh shiitake mushrooms, and the flavor was absolutely amazing!
