Chapter 206 Unique hot pot base! Signature hotpot!

  Shen Hai was amazed by the taste of the hairy belly.

 Not only the taste, but also its unique aroma.

Although it is spicy, it is not greasy at all.

 After eating it in your mouth, when the spicy taste dissipates, your appetite will become better.

Moreover, the more hairy tripe you eat, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

 “No, why is he not tired of the bottom of the pot?”

Shen Hai scooped up a spoonful of soup and looked at it carefully.

 There are chili peppers, tofu, and a little duck blood in the soup.

Looking carefully, there is only a very small layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup, which does not cover the entire spoon.

“This hot pot is so delicious, and the dipping sauce is so delicious, I don’t even have to mix it myself.”

 In the past, we would eat hot pot while chatting.

 “The more you eat, the better it tastes!”

“The better the ingredients they use, the better the taste.”

“The chili peppers, onions, ginger, and duck blood at the bottom of the pot should have been specially treated.”

“It’s not like the hot pot in a small restaurant. You can basically make it according to the ingredients online.”

"Delicious."

Zhu Hong was full, leaned on the back of the chair, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with emotion.

 Soon, a plate of black hairy bellies was wiped out by the two of them.

Put this kind of beef in a dish of oil, soak up the flavor, and eat it again, it will still be very comfortable.

“How does he prepare this soup? It’s different from the hot pot in ordinary shops.”

Shen Hai nodded, "Maybe the ingredients used in big restaurants are different."

Beef is also good quality beef, with bright red meat and white fat texture.

 After finishing the tripe, there is still beef.

 But Jiang Feng’s hot pot is different.

 Then they put the white hairy belly into the pot.

 I feel so happy that I don’t want to talk.

 At high temperatures, the fat has disappeared, leaving only lean meat.

 “Why don’t people make this popular?”

 “Wow, it’s so delicious!”

 She put the hairy tripe in her mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it in one gulp.

 “Strange!”

 Shen Hai was still studying the hot pot base ingredients while eating.

 Put the beef slices into the hot pot. After a while, the beef turns into a curled up piece of cooked meat.

 There is not much oil feeling in the stomach.

 Hands on, it’s the sesame oil in my own oil dish.

 The white hairy belly tastes more tender, as if you can squeeze out water with just a pinch.

The two of them ate for a long time, with some sweat on their heads.

 So hot pot is delicious, but because it is too oily, if you eat it for lunch, you will definitely not want to eat it at night.

The two of them stopped talking and just silently put the ingredients into the hot pot and picked them up to eat when they were almost ready.

 Perhaps you had a meal the day before and had no appetite for hot pot the next day.

Put it in a hot pot and heat it for a while, take it out and dip it in a dish of oil. The soft and elastic texture makes them addicted.

Eating a steaming spicy hotpot in such a cold weather will warm your whole body.

 “This is a high-end Sichuan restaurant after all, so it must have a secret recipe that is not passed down.”

 After being spicy, I still feel refreshed.

Zhu Hong picked up a piece of black tripe and put it in an oil dish covered with oil. It was also covered with coriander, chopped green onion, and chili oil.

 It coincides with the dead of winter and the weather is cold.

 “Why is there no oil?”

 Seeing Shen Hai studying hard, Zhu Hong said:

 There isn’t much talk here, we just can’t wait for the food to be cooked and eat it quickly.

You should know that ordinary hot pots are heavy with oil. When you scoop it up and let it sit for a while, a layer of yellow "grease" will solidify on the surface of the spoon.

Shen Hai couldn't figure out what Jiang Feng added.

 It’s actually normal.

The soup used by Jiang Feng is indeed not an ordinary soup, but a stock made by himself. The characteristics of this stock are that it is light but can absorb the flavor.

 The materials used are natural and good.

Jiang Feng knows that when eating hot pot, it is more important to cook the ingredients well, so a pot base that can make the ingredients taste delicious is a good pot base.

 The guests don’t just hold the hot pot and drink the soup.

 So, the ingredients hot from the bottom of his pot are delicious and not greasy.

 This is Jiang Feng’s secret recipe.

From now on, Jiangyuetai’s hot pot will use this kind of soup stock, and you don’t have to worry about small restaurants copying it, because small restaurants don’t have the skills to make this kind of soup stock.

 Only big restaurants can be bold.

 Shen Hai and Zhu Hong had eaten and drank enough, and their faces looked refreshed.

 “I’m full, but I feel like I can still eat at night.”

 Zhu Hong said something.

"You are outrageous. How can anyone eat hot pot for lunch and dinner?"

Shen Hai replied with a smile.

 Everything on the table is eaten to a great extent.

 Hands of great rewards for opening the business, and the current price is also cheap, so it doesn’t cost much.

 That’s why more people come to Jiangyuetai.

“This time today, Jiang Yuetai’s hot pot reputation can be established.”

 “It tastes really good.”

“Moreover, Boss Jiang personally prepared the pot base and dipping sauce, and also cut the ingredients himself.”

 “It feels really good.”

 “It feels like eating a top chef’s private kitchen.”

 Zhu Hong was satisfied. It’s not just Zhu Hong, many people think this way.

At the table next to him, a young man asked the waiter:

“The bottom of this pot must have been prepared by Boss Jiang, and he cut all the ingredients himself?”

“We made a special trip here just to try Boss Jiang’s craftsmanship.”

Hearing what the young man said, the waiter immediately replied:

“Yes, please look at the size, length, and thickness of the belly.”

“Our boss cuts them all himself.”

 “The boss cooks and makes the food himself, and other chefs do not interfere.”

 The young man looked at the tripe on the plate.

Not to mention, the hairy belly is neat and tidy, and the size and width of each hair are the same, giving people a regular feeling.

 When the waiter said this, the young man was satisfied.

 Nearly all the guests ordered Mao tripe hot pot today.

Jiang Feng originally intended to make this hot pot a signature.

 It relies on his special pot base and the fresh and high-quality ingredients he uses.

 The bottom of the pot does not necessarily need to be heavy with oil, as long as it tastes good.

 The most typical one is Kyoto’s shabu-shabu.

Kyoto’s shabu-shabu is one of the best. After the customer orders, the waiter places the pot on the table, then adds onions, ginger, mushrooms and other seasonings, then picks up a 5L mineral water bottle and pours the mineral water directly into the pot.

 Not much seasoning at all.

 But the meat from the shabu-shabu is rinsed out, stirred in sesame paste, chili oil, chopped green onion, and coriander, and eaten.

It feels so delicious.

Shabu-shabu is also a major feature of Kyoto cuisine.

 Hence, the most important task of the bottom of the pot is to ensure the taste of the ingredients after they are cooked.

In Jiangyue Terrace, after finishing their shabu-shabu shabu-shabu, the diners ate some of the fruits that were served to them.

 After eating, I feel satisfied in my stomach and warm all over.

 The key is that it doesn’t feel greasy at all, but feels refreshing.

 There is an urge to eat at night.

Many people said as they left:

 “This hot pot is so delicious, I’m really not kidding!”

 “A big restaurant is a big restaurant!”

“I have never doubted Boss Jiang’s cooking skills. What he cooks seems to be different from others!”

“A top chef, there’s nothing he can’t do!”

 The delicious hot pot has received rave reviews from diners.

At this moment, there are still many people with number plates waiting in line outside the restaurant.

 Seeing someone coming out, these people asked:

 “How was today’s food?”

Hearing this, the guests who had eaten hot pot were full of praise:

“It’s so delicious. Boss Jiang is making the tripe hot pot today, and the hot pot is really delicious!”

 “I’ve never had such a refreshing hot pot!”

 “It tastes very good and is worth the wait.”

 Seeing his appearance, the others became even more determined to wait.

 There are still many customers outside the restaurant.

 The number has been queued up until the evening again.

 Everyone is used to it.

 It doesn’t matter, let’s get a number first, and then we’ll do whatever we need to do.

Some people came to get a number, then went home to have lunch, then took a good nap, took a walk in the afternoon, opened the mini program to check the queue status, and then went there after almost a while.

With all this fuss, it’s already night time.

 The brand new Jiang Yuetai Restaurant is entirely in the new Chinese style.

 The decoration inside is also more classical.

good environment.

Moreover, the walls are all soundproofed and noise-absorbing, so the guest experience is good.

 Business is really booming.

At the same time, Yang Juanjuan was watching the hot scene on Jiang Yuetai outside, and her back teeth were broken.

 She used to be in charge of this place, and it was also called "Taste of Sichuan".

 But the business is getting worse and worse, there are only a few people around, and there are not many customers.

 The restaurant is deserted.

 One thing to say is that the location of this place is very good and the customer flow is very large. It is also a standard for a large restaurant to be like this.

People's talents are different. Some people just don't have a big picture view when doing business.

 For example, when a post-90s girl opened a shop, her mother came to help.

There was an event in the store at that time. If you collect as many consumer coupons as you can, you can exchange them for a free box of food.

Her mother would deliberately cut corners and give others very little in exchange every time she encountered this kind of activity.

 Because in her mother's opinion, this is a "loss of money".

Once a regular customer accumulated a lot of coupons to exchange for two boxes of food. Her mother not only showed displeasure, but also gave very little.

 The regulars were angry.

When the girl born in the 1990s saw it, she almost burst into tears and said to her mother:

 “Can you please stop doing this? Do you want to drive away all my guests?”

 “I’m doing activities and I’ve already earned all the money from the coupons. What are you feeling so bad about?”

Even though he saw the girl like this, the regular customer still said:

 “That’s right, I will never come to your store again.”

The girl’s mother has such a stingy mentality that she always feels that she has “lost” and the business will not last long.

Yang Juanjuan is also such a person, always feeling that she is at a loss.

She now regrets selling the restaurant to Jiang Feng.

As everyone knows, the restaurant was losing money continuously at that time. If Jiang Feng hadn't been willing to take over, she would have still had to pay.

But it doesn't matter, Jiang Feng never cares about this.

At this moment, he was just thinking that it would be quite easy if he didn't cook hot pot at night.
