When Xia Mingyue saw the finished copper pot, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The shape and size of the copper pot are exactly what she asked for. The shape of the pot looks majestic and round, very beautiful, and the surface of the copper pot has an auspicious cloud texture, which adds to the beauty.
Xia Mingyue couldn't put it down. She couldn't help but look at it carefully. She even opened the various components of the copper pot and assembled them carefully.
The assembled copper pot fits perfectly and is very stable, which shows that the person who made the copper pot has exquisite and skillful craftsmanship.
The more Xia Mingyue looked at the copper pot, the happier she became. While sighing, she was also surprised by the playful and smiling Shi Dahai beside her.
This man really has real abilities, but why does he look so unstable on the surface?
Shi Dahai likes to appreciate the expressions of amazement on other people's faces when they see the bronzes he made. When he saw Xia Mingyue's surprise, he was also secretly happy, but when he saw Xia Mingyue's expression, Surprised, when he wanted to speak but stopped, he smiled.
"Mrs. Xia, do you think that my usually playful and smiling face is out of shape, but it is a bit unbelievable that I have made such a good bronze?"
Xia Mingyue did not deny it. nodded.
Shi Dahai was not angry, but slapped his thigh violently, "When I first started learning to make bronzeware from my master, my master was also suspicious of me. He said that I was so sharp-tongued that I always felt that I should become a Go on business or work as a clerk.”
"Actually, to be honest, I usually talk a lot and like to talk. I first thought about learning storytelling. Learning how to make copperware just didn't make my parents like it. I never thought that I would be so good at it that even my master would be surprised. It's very strange. No matter what I say, I have to teach him all my skills. I am the one who can do it.”
“I couldn’t refuse, so I continued to learn the skills of making bronze from my master, but I didn’t want to be idle and wanted to say more...”
< br>So when we met, we were gushing and couldn't stop at all.
"I see." Xia Mingyue nodded slightly.
Talented players are really scary.
Even if it's not what he intended, he can easily stand at the top of the pyramid.
Enviable...
Shi Dahai smiled again, his eyes rolling, "Since the copper pot I made is in line with Lady Xia's wishes, then shall I Can you try the food that Madam Xia cooked in this copper pot?”
“No problem.” "
"Yes." Shi Dahai nodded like he was pounding garlic.
Don’t talk about waiting for a while to have tea, it’s okay to wait for two or three moments!
Guan Fu and others were waiting to try the food. Xia Mingyue asked Yinqiao to serve tea, and then took Zhuang's mother and Zhuang Cui to prepare it.
The copper pot is used for making mutton-shabu-shabu, and the shape of the copper pot draws on the special copper hot pot used in Donglaishun mutton-shabu-shabu making technique. It has a large furnace, more charcoal, fast boiling, reasonable vents, and a long burning time. Due to its long shape, such a copper pot can keep the soup boiling without adding charcoal for an hour even if there are more than a dozen people dining around it, meeting the needs of shabu-shabu.
When Xia Mingyue made the soup base for shabu-shabu soup, she also drew on the soup base for Donglaishun mutton shabu-shabu soup. She used ginger slices, chopped green onion, dried shrimps, and mushroom soup as ingredients to stew it into a pot that is light, delicious, but full of flavor. Delicious soup base comes out.
The raw materials are the most used in mutton-shabu-shabu. The upper brain, cucumber strips, and big three are the best parts. Before cutting the meat, the blood and impurities in the meat should be fully processed to ensure the meat quality and food quality of the mutton. Taste when used. The best raw materials need to be matched with excellent knife skills. A pound of mutton should be cut into eighty or ninety pieces to ensure that the cut meat is delicate, bright in color, fat but not greasy, and thin but not woody. After putting it in the pot, rinse it. It's ripe and won't go bad after being rinsed for a long time.
Xia Mingyue even prepared dipping sauces such as sesame sauce, peanut butter, soybean paste, chive flowers, etc., and also prepared her pickled sugar garlic, which was paired with freshly cut mutton slices. The charcoal fire and the copper pot with the soup base were prepared and put on the table.
Everyone looked at the gradually boiling soup base and fresh mutton, and immediately understood that they were going to eat hotpot mutton.
It’s just that mutton-boiled food is not uncommon. Even a slightly wealthy family will cook some fresh mutton in autumn and winter to nourish the body.
The copper pot that Xia Mingyue worked so hard to make is just for cooking meat?
Is it because people live a too delicate life and have to pay attention to everything, so eating hot-pot requires all these exquisite things, or is the hot-pot made by Madam Xia special?
With a little surprise, everyone put the slices of meat as thin as cicada wings into the boiling soup in the copper pot.
You don’t have to pour it completely into the pot. You just need to pick up the meat slices with chopsticks and give them a slight rinse in the pot. The thin slices of meat will be mature.
You can put the meat slices directly into your mouth, or you can dip it in some dipping sauce according to your own taste and then eat it. The delicious taste will burst out in your mouth immediately...
Fresh and tender The word "smooth" is vividly reflected in this piece of mutton. The soup base is delicious but not overwhelming. After the mutton is rinsed in the soup, more deliciousness is left in the soup. When you have eaten enough mutton, serve it Some light and refreshing vegetables are also very delicious.
When you are tired of eating, peel off two cloves of candied garlic to enhance the flavor and relieve the greasiness, making it twice as delicious!
“This shabu-shabu is delicious.” Guanshi Fu was the first to express his emotion.
Although he is just a manager and not a particularly powerful person in the entire He family, the He family has a great business and is very generous and kind to their servants, so he has suffered a lot. nice one.
He had eaten a lot of mutton-boiled dishes, but none of them could compare to what he was eating.
Ms. Xia’s craftsmanship never disappoints!
Jiang Zhuguo, Zhuang Cui and others who tasted it together also expressed their emotions, feeling that the taste of the mutton-shabu-shabu in the copper pot was much better than the mutton-shabu-shabu they had previously eaten at home in Jinqiu County.
Although Zhuang Mama and Yin Qiao have also tasted Xia Mingyue's cooking, they ate the hot-boiled mutton and said it was delicious. They praised Xia Mingyue's cooking skills for getting better and better, exceeding their expectations.
Shi Dahai was the only one who said nothing at the moment.
"Master Shi, what do you think of the taste of this hot-pot meat?" Xia Mingyue asked with a smile.
Shi Dahai swallowed the meat slices that filled his mouth with some difficulty, and then nodded repeatedly, "Let's just say, this hotpot mutton is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten!"
Not one of them!
"Then if you don't say a word, I just think that the mutton-boiled meat made by Madam Xia is not to your taste." Manager Fu was a little surprised.
"You don't know this." Shi Dahai said as he put the thinly sliced fresh mutton into the pot. "This man only has one mouth, but he has to do two things. You have to eat and you have to talk, and you can't do both at the same time. If I only focus on praising you, won't I delay eating?" (End of Chapter)
