Chapter 222 Hot pot with peppers.
Wantong is now afraid that the emperor thinks that Wu Youwei has some ideas, which is very bad.
Simply put, Wu Youwei really didn't mean anything in that regard, he still wanted to live his own life with power over the government and the public.
He only wanted to revitalize Daming within the scope of his ability, so that this last dynasty belonging to the Han family could be glorious forever.
Although the 56 ethnic groups belong to one family, he still wants Daming to be the head of the family....
"It's fine that it has nothing to do with you." Wan Dao said, "Now you have involved many people, although you have no interest disputes, but you are the guest of many people, at least, your relationship with Master Ji Kong is very good.
"That old monk?" Wu Youwei supported his forehead: "He is a book fan!"
I am still a fan of martial arts books, I study those martial arts novels all day long, and I want new books every few months, and I can always receive reminders from him every time I go...
After talking about business, the two had dinner.
This time Wu Youwei was well prepared. Although it was already March, this time was just right!
Open the window, there are no mosquitoes outside, because it is still very rough.
It's already March without burning the stove, and it's too hot to burn the stove.
But if you don’t burn it, it’s too cold. At this time, hot pot can save you!
In particular, Wu Youwei invited Wantong to taste the hot pot with chili alone!
Although it is just ordinary chili peppers and a small handful of chili peppers, it is enough. Wu Youwei asked Chef Fang to make red soup bottom according to the memory of the hot pot he had eaten, but in order not to eat it so spicy, he still Let people serve the mandarin duck pot, with red soup on one side and clear soup on the other.
This is the first time for Wantong to see such... hot pot.
"It is said that Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, loved hot pot very much. He had to eat several kinds of pot bottoms to eat hot pot, but one tripod could only hold one kind of pot bottom. It was very troublesome to use many tripods to eat hot pot at one time. In order to solve this problem, Cao Pi invented The "five-cooked cauldron" is divided into five parts during casting, so that five kinds of pot bottoms can be placed in one tripod, you...two kinds? Is it a little less?" Wan Just kidding Wu Youwei.
"What do you know? It's called mandarin duck pot." Wu Youwei almost rolled his eyes: "Wufu hot pot is too troublesome, next time I have a chance to get some, I'll eat this today."
Wantong heard the name, his heart moved: "Mandarin duck pot is also good.
Wu Youwei didn't hear it, he was busy excitedly: "I want green vegetables, bring me some small rapeseed, spinach, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, soak some fungus and bring them after washing, by the way, let Cui Niang bring them Order some noodles! It's time to eat some noodles...
There are not only various vegetables, but also frozen tofu, sliced potatoes, and sweet potato slices; there is also a large plate of thinly sliced mutton rolls, fresh beef with large blades, and venison sent during the Chinese New Year. became...
The clear soup is made from chicken broth, so there are a lot of small mushrooms in it, which is delicious.
There are a lot of shabu-shabu, not to mention how rich it is, but it is a bit extravagant for two people to eat.
Wantong also meant the same thing. In the past, he had six or seven dishes at most, and usually only four dishes and one soup.
Wu Youwei said helplessly: "Because these are all for tasting, don't think it's for you, I just want you to have a taste, what is chili."
And potatoes and sweet potatoes.
It's just that he hasn't had the luxury to use beans and sweet potatoes to make vermicelli.
It is not bad to be able to eat such a little, and Shang Ming took away the rest. Now, apart from Huangzhuang, he can grow some overseas crops such as corn, beans and sweet potatoes.
However, the output was acquired by Huangzhuang.
Just leave him a little bit as a seed.
Fortunately, Shang Ming is not a rigid person, so it is no problem for Wu Youwei to save some for himself.
"I'll teach you how to eat potatoes!" Wu Youwei boiled the meat and vegetables first, and then put down the fish balls, which were made by hand.
Finally, add potato chips and sweet potato chips, press the fire, and let the pot cook slowly.
"Green Ant's new fermented wine, small red clay stove; it will snow in the evening, can you have a glass?" Wu Youwei held a cup filled with sour plum juice, and clinked glasses with Wantong: "Let's enjoy one too! "
"Yeah." Wantong took a sip of sour plum soup and frowned: "This thing...is it cold?"
"If you eat hot pot, you should drink sour plum soup, not get angry." Wu Youwei said: "Try it, this is the real hot pot."
Hot pot with chilli.
And Wu Youwei's seven bowls and eight dishes of dipping sauces.
Shabu-shabu, shabu-shabu vegetables, shabu-shabu various bean products, dried fungus and mushrooms, etc.
It's the first time for Wantong to eat chili, and he thinks it's really tasty!
This kind of spicy does not have the bitter taste of cornel, but it can be spicy.
He also ate potatoes and sweet potatoes, perhaps for the first time, and thought they tasted really good.
Wu Youwei also asked people to serve cucumbers to relieve the spicy taste, so as not to eat too greasy and uncomfortable.
"This is a potato that can be eaten as a meal." Wu Youwei took a piece of boiled potato for Wantong: "This is a sweet potato, try it." The taste...is good! "Wantong is a person who has suffered a lot. The common people can completely accept the taste of crops.
"Not bad, right?" Wu Youwei said with a smile: "Actually, it can't be stored for more than two years, but it can be made into vermicelli, which can be stored for five years."
"Five years?" Wantong was surprised: "Bacon can only be stored for three years, but smoked meat can be stored for five years, but that requires a very complicated smoking process."
What's more, some smoking techniques are ancestral and never known to outsiders.
It is too little to put food for three to five years.
"Flour making is actually very simple." Wu Youwei remembered that when he was a child, there was a grain and non-staple food processing workshop in his village. At that time, there was no food glue or additives. Corn flour, ground wheat flour, and potato flour and sweet potato flour can also be made.
When he was young, he was in poor health and could not go out for running and jumping with his friends. He could only play with some quiet things. His mother was worried about him, so she took him with her when she went to the workshop. powder, flour
The potato flour and sweet potato flour at that time were all delicious.
"It's best to cook potato flour in a casserole. The potato flour produced has a unique flavor." Wu Youwei thought of the potato flour in a casserole that he ate when he was a child, and he yearned for it.
"Is it easy to make?" Wantong became interested: "What kind?"
"It's very simple!" Wu Youwei said: "It is divided into selecting ingredients to extract powder, ingredients to make gorgon, reinforcing Liyuan (alum substitute) and noodles, boiling water to drain bars, cold bath to dry bars, and bundling and packaging."
Wu Youwei remembered that the old people said before that "you can't make vermicelli without alum", but later people felt that alum was not very safe as a food additive, so after hard work in research and development, using a small amount of alum or alum-free food additive glutinous rice can produce non-noodles. Alum vermicelli; self-cooked vermicelli and steamed vermicelli also have a source of strength for alum substitutes, reaching the national standard of truly alum-free vermicelli.
"Furthermore, vermicelli is just a general term. It is a special food made from sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., which are processed in the form of strings and dried after being processed by grinding and sedimentation." Wu Youwei introduced: "Even as long as the starch content is high Anything can be made into vermicelli, as long as it is stored under dry conditions, it can be stored for at least three years and up to five years."
In fact, it would take longer, but Wu Youwei didn't dare to say that, and he didn't have that experience.
The food here has no preservatives, and he can't guarantee that it can still be eaten after such a long time.
But this has already surprised Wantong: "What about transportation?
"Transportation is actually very convenient, but it's best to have potatoes and sweet potatoes locally. If you can't eat them, you may rot, and then make them into vermicelli." Wu Youwei suggested: "Because after making vermicelli, it is still difficult to transport them from the beginning. Well, once the road conditions are bumpy, it is easy to break the dried vermicelli.
The roads at this time are not as easy to travel as the cement roads of later generations.
"As long as it can be stored for a long time, it is better than anything else." Wantong thought for a while: "Let's not talk about this, as long as the production of potatoes and sweet potatoes increases, and the people have surplus food in their hands, they will naturally think of making vermicelli... ....
"That's right." Wu Youwei nodded: "When they are full, they will naturally want to save the extra food.
At that time, the milling process will be launched, and people will be eager to learn it without promotion.
The atmosphere of the meal was very good, and there was a little heat in the warmth, because the peppers made people sweat profusely. Both of them took off their thick clothes, only wearing underwear and light middle clothes, and a thin robe over their heads. Sweat soaked through the back of my clothes.
But very hearty.
When they were full, they felt a little full. They had no choice but to change their clothes, and took the opportunity to wipe their bodies with hot water. They were sweating too much.
After getting dressed, I went out for a walk.
Wu Youwei was used to seeing Xiaobao these days, so he took Wantong with him.
When Wantong heard that the child was called "Wu Mingde", he was taken aback: "The second room is called Wu Qiong."
"I know." Wu Youwei said: "I just don't want him to have anything to do with Dafang. Anyway, our branch has already separated. If we don't follow the rules, who can do anything to me? I will I like the word 'Mingde'."
Wu Youwei was not even happy with the order of the children's names from the Dafang's side, which shows that he really wanted to get rid of the relationship with the Dafang.
Wantong smiled: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Even if it is called kitten and puppy, Wu Youwei is happy, and no one really cares about it at this time.
The two of them chatted about messy things again, and after finishing eating, after entering the room, Wantong went into Wu Youwei's bedroom with a look of naturalness on his face.
Xiao Xiao came in with the wash water and was taken aback when she saw Wantong: "My lord? Aren't you going back to the guest house?
Wantong turned his head and asked Wu Youwei: "What's wrong with this little fool?"
I really don't understand or is it pretending?
"Anywhere is good." Wu Youwei is very protective: "Tonight, we two will talk at night by candlelight, and prepare hot water for washing, snacks, tea, and extra carbon for adults, and we will boil water ourselves at night."
"Oh." Xiaoxiao nodded, put down the hot water and went to get another one for Wantong. Even the tea stove was moved in, so she can heat hot water to make tea by herself at night.
Ordinary people who dared to do this would probably have been taken care of by their masters long ago, but in Mo Ling Villa, it was taken for granted that Wu Youwei was not someone who could make troubles at all, and what he was willing to make troubles was the outside world.
After washing up, Xiao Xiao left, but he had a bigger heart than Butler Lin Su.
Wantong stood at the door reflexively, waiting for the unexpected event to come, and he developed a heart disease.
Wu Youwei changed into a silk shirt after washing, and smiled when he saw Wantong's posture: "What are you doing?"
"I'm afraid something else will happen." Wantong said with a serious face, "Before I came, I told the people who came with me to be optimistic about Moring Mountain Villa."
Including the people inside, don't always disturb his good deeds
Wu Youwei laughed immediately: "You don't have to do this!"
"Why don't you use it?" Wantong came over and hugged him into his arms: "How many times? You count it yourself! We obviously agree with each other,..."
Can always be interrupted.
Wantong's face was full of resentment.
"Uh huh!" Wu Youwei also felt that the two of them really fit the words "good things take time".
"What are you laughing at?" Wantong bowed his head and kissed him.
Wu Youwei put his arms around his neck: "Happy!
If you're happy, don't you allow him to laugh?
Wantong nodded his little nose: "So happy?"
"Hmm!" Wu Youwei smiled all over his face.
Wantong hugged him even more tightly. In the candlelight, under the light, the two cuddled together, the atmosphere was ambiguous, the breath was pink, and the two were like glue.
At this beautiful moment, Wu Youwei said something in Wantong's ear.
Wantong's complexion was... dark!
