"What is hotpot?" Li Shi Min asked curiously.
Princess Chang Le tilted her ears and eavesdropped. She asked Lin Yuan about it, but he didn't explain.
Lin Yuan smiled and said," It's a hotpot. Use a fire source to heat up the pot. The water in the pot will boil. Add raw food into the pot and cook it immediately! They could enjoy cooking while eating, and the pleasure of eating by themselves!”
Li Shi Min raised his eyebrows and smiled,"I was wondering what it was, but it turns out to be an antique soup!”
Princess Changle lost interest. This thing was not as interesting as the " French fries " at the bonfire party last night.
The " hotpot " that Lin Yuan spoke of had existed since the Warring States Period. Because food would make a " gurgling " sound when it was boiled, it was usually called " antique soup " in the palace.
The father and daughter would try it when they were free, but they didn't find it very delicious.
Lin Yuan saw that the two of them were not interested, but he smiled faintly.
"Father-in-law, your words are wrong. Compared to my hotpot, your antique soup can be said to be very different. It's like the difference between dry food and imperial food!”
"Oh? Is he really that powerful?" Li Shimin did not believe it.
Princess Chang Le also raised her head and blinked her big eyes at the big round pot in the middle. The hot water was boiling and emitting fragrant steam.
She took a whiff of the unique spice fragrance and asked,""Lin Yuan, the difference you mentioned, is it the seasoning in the pot?”
During the bonfire party last night, when someone was roasting meat, they had put in a lot of strange seasonings. Princess Chang Le felt that the fragrance in the pot must have something to do with the seasonings.
Lin Yuan nodded." Ruonan is smarter than father-in-law. She noticed the main point so quickly!" However, the seasoning was only one part of it.”
Princess Chang Le was delighted to hear this. She looked at Li Shi Min and raised her neck.
He never thought that one day, he would be smarter than his father!
Li Shi Min was a little indignant.
Lin Yuan continued," As for the other part, it's the brewing of the soup. I spent an entire morning making this soup!”
"So, can you make something delicious just because the seasoning is different from the soup?" Princess Chang Le asked curiously. Can it be better than the imperial kitchen?"
Li Shi Min also said," That's right. Although I have a high official position, I was only lucky enough to eat imperial food once. I still can't forget the taste. Is your hotpot that amazing?"”
Princess Chang Le pouted. You eat it every day, how could you forget?
Lin Yuan sneered and said," You'll know once you try it!”
He had been in the Tang Dynasty for more than half a year, so how could he not know the cooking methods here? Basically, they were boiled, steamed, roasted, fried, and preserved. Not to mention the eight major families, there was not even stir-fried food.
He could guess that no matter how powerful the imperial kitchen was, they wouldn't be able to make any tricks.
Not to mention, it could not be compared to his "Haidilao" hotpot base.
Li Shimin saw Lin Yuan's confident look and decided to give it a try!
He picked up his chopsticks and looked at the table full of raw food. He suddenly had no idea which one to choose.
In the end, he chose a piece of lotus root. Because the red soup base smelled very pungent, he put it in the bottom of the clear soup.
After controlling the heat, Li Shiming ate the lotus root.
！
This was…
What was that smell?
The crispness and sweetness of the lotus root mixed with the fresh fragrance of the soup stock were completely different from the "antique soup" that I had eaten before. The deliciousness that exploded on my taste buds was several times more delicious than the lotus root made by the imperial kitchen!
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up as he praised,"Good! It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food!”
As he spoke, he did not care much and started to cook the food.
Lin Yuan smiled disdainfully. What a pitiful person from the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Chang Le was astonished. Lin Yuan didn't know that her father-in-law was the current emperor, but she knew!
What kind of delicacies had Imperial Father not eaten before? Why would he give such a high evaluation of this hotpot?
Could it be that this thing was so delicious that it was even more fragrant than yesterday's " fries "?
Princess Chang Le tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve anxiously and said in a delicate voice,""Lin Yuan, can you teach me how to eat?”
Lin Yuan nodded, picked up a piece of tripe, and placed it in the bottom of the chili oil pot. Then, he said,""When eating hotpot, the most important thing is the tripe. It's said that you have to rinse it seven times and eight times to test the quality of the hotpot.”
Seven times, eight times, without a second time, he raised his head in three breaths.
After a short while, Lin Yuan passed the tripe to Princess Chang Le.
Princess Chang Le looked at her red tripe and said with some fear,""Is this thing cooked? Just for a while?"
"Try it. You'll definitely fall in love with it!”Lin Yuan said.
Princess Changle picked up the tripe with her chopsticks suspiciously. Her small cherry-like mouth opened wide as she ate the tripe.
The crispy tripe, accompanied by the spicy fragrance of the spicy butter pot, completely conquered Princess Changle's taste buds.
"Ah! It's so delicious!" Princess Chang Le's face turned red. She fanned her hands and helped the spicy Xiao Huan relax. She then picked up the tripe and put it into the pot.
Li Shimin, who was eating vegetables, secretly ate a piece of tripe.
After eating it, his eyes shone brightly. He looked at Lin Yuan. This kid was actually an imperial chef?
The father and daughter were completely immersed in the delicacy of the hotpot.
