Chapter 93 Chongqing Hot Pot

93 Chongqing Hot Pot

It took Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng two people a full ten years to eat almost all kinds of delicacies from all over the country.

Whether it's a big meal in a top restaurant or a street snack, as long as it's delicious, the two of them will follow the taste to find it.

Mu Feng's extremely keen sense of smell played a very important role in the process of finding delicious food.

When traveling, it is inevitable that you will get lost, and navigation sometimes does not work.

At this time, Mu Feng can often rely on his strong sense of smell that has been greatly enhanced by the system to follow the faint scent of delicious food in the air all the way to find it.

Of course, the straight-line distance between them and the destination must be very close. No matter how strong Mufeng's sense of smell is, it is impossible to really smell the fragrance a few kilometers away.

In these ten years, Mu Feng's culinary skills have advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching an unbelievable level.

In fact, more than half of this decade was spent on the road.

On the contrary, Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng didn't have much time to really enjoy the food.

Otherwise, Mu Feng's culinary skills might have reached today's level a few years earlier.

Also, they haven't been traveling all the time this decade.

For about three months every year, they will return to Zhonghua Building.

And these three months are the carnival season for all gourmet diners.

Every year, Zhonghualou and Suji will accept food orders half a year in advance, and then wait for Mufeng to return together.

on the plane.

"Where do you plan to go next time?" Shi Nancheng asked, leaning his head on Mu Feng's shoulder while playing with Mu Feng's fingers.

The appearances of Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng have not changed in the past ten years.

It is said that time has never defeated a beauty, and the two of them are so good-looking that time really can't do anything about it.

Even though they have been running around all these years, there is no trace of weather on their faces.

"Let's take a break for a year now! We've almost eaten the famous food in China. If you want to go next time, you should go abroad to see it!" Mu Feng thought for a while and said.

"I can finally sleep soundly when I go back tonight. My back is so sore. Mu Bao, please help me press my waist when I get home! Okay?" Shi Nancheng pleaded innocently.

"You're so sour! I'm so sour! Who told you to stay so late last night, and almost missed the flight this morning!" Mu Feng gave him a glare.

At this time, the stewardess accidentally overheard the conversation between them and cast a meaningful smile.

Mu Feng also realized that his voice was a bit loud, so he pursed his lips and gave Shi Nancheng a hard look.

After listening to Mu Feng's words, Shi Nancheng smiled proudly and said, "I can't help it, your husband and I are in good health!"

"You are in good health, aren't you? Sleep on the sofa tonight!" Mu Feng stared at him and said.

"Don't! I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll give you a massage tonight~" Shi Nancheng said meanly.

Mu Feng snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

----

Get off the plane.

It was Lu Yun who came to pick up the plane.

On the way home, Lu Yun said while driving, "Mu Chu, I've already made the registration for the Chef's Festival."

Mu Feng nodded after listening.

They came back this time to participate in this Chinese Chef Festival.

Originally, they planned to return to Fortress in another two months, but they came back early because they heard that this year's Chinese Chef Festival will be held in Fortress.

The Chinese Chef Festival, also known as the "Chinese Chef Summit" and "Canton Fair of the Catering Industry", is held every year.

Its main purpose is to promote Chinese food culture, so that chefs can communicate with each other to improve their cooking skills, and promote better and faster development of China's catering industry.

Before, because the Chinese Chef's Festival was held in other cities, Mu Feng and the others happened to be away from home, so they didn't participate.

This time, since it is held in Fengze City, as the host, Zhonghualou must participate.

"By the way, where is the Chinese Chef's Festival held this time?" Shi Nancheng asked.

"Green City Plaza." Lu Yun replied.

"Did the people from Fuxing Restaurant participate this time?" Shi Nancheng asked.

"Yes, they are the leaders in the local catering industry, so they naturally want to participate." Lu Yun said.

"If we hadn't been outside for the past few years, they wouldn't be the leader." Shi Nancheng said with a disdainful smile.

After returning home, Mu Feng immediately went to take a shower, while Shi Nancheng collapsed on the sofa like a dead dog.

Although, when the two of them were traveling outside, they always lived together.

However, when they were in Fengze, they did not officially live together until three years ago.

Of course, it's not that my parents object, it's mainly because I can't stay in Fengze City for a few days all year round, so I don't bother to move.

Speaking of parents, when Mu Feng's parents first heard that Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng were together, although they didn't strongly object, they didn't agree either.

Although Mu Feng's parents have always been open-minded, but after all they grew up in a traditional social environment, they still feel a little strange about this kind of thing.

Later, it was after Shi Nancheng visited three times in a row that the two old people finally agreed that they should be together.

Because Mu Feng's parents often travel, and Shi Nancheng and Mu Feng are also away all year round.

Ordinarily, it was not easy for the two to meet each other, but Shi Nancheng and Mu Feng both valued their parents' blessings very much.

Therefore, after they learned the news that their parents had returned to Fengze, they flew all the way back to Fengze overnight by plane to visit them.

Moreover, they still made such a move three times in a row.

It was also because of this that Mu Feng's parents saw the importance the two of them attached to this relationship, and finally agreed with them to be together.

After Mu Feng took a shower, he wiped his hair with a towel and walked towards the sofa.

"Get up, go take a shower." Mu Feng patted Shi Nancheng's arm.

Shi Nancheng slightly opened his eyes, and said with a tired face, "Let me sleep for a while!"

"Get up, it's so dirty." Mu Feng patted him again.

"Okay..." Shi Nancheng said leisurely.

Then, he turned over and sat up from the sofa, pulled Mu Feng over, hugged him in his arms, and kissed Mu Feng's lips.

"Mu Bao, am I very handsome as a husband?" Shi Nancheng hugged him, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Mu Feng rolled his eyes angrily when he heard his words that were neither ancient nor modern.

"I just washed it!" Mu Feng stared at him and said.

"Oh, it's roar, then can I kiss after I wash it?" Shi Nancheng asked meanly.

"Get lost!" Mu Feng looked at him speechlessly.

Mu Feng didn't know how he fell in love with this idiot in the first place?

Since falling in love, this guy's IQ has been getting lower every year.

When going out, it would be better if there are outsiders, but as long as no one sees, he will always hold his hand.

It's fine to hold her hand, but this guy actually shakes twice from time to time like a three-year-old child.

It is said that after falling in love, the IQ will decrease. Mu Feng thinks that Shi Nancheng's IQ will not only decrease, but it will drop in a straight line!

----

After about ten minutes, Shi Nancheng came to the living room with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body.

Seeing that Mu Feng was lying on the sofa watching TV, he walked over with a smile and stood in front of Mu Feng.

"Mu Bao, husband, I have a good figure, right?" Shi Nancheng said with two poses.

Mu Feng looked at him, his eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Regardless of Mu Feng's reaction, Shi Nancheng went down and kissed Mu Feng's lips.

Mu Feng was a little helpless at first, but gradually he forgot about it.

The two were having a heated fight when the doorbell rang suddenly.

The two just got up, so they don't care about so much.

As a result, after the doorbell rang for a while, Mu Feng's cell phone rang.

Mu Feng had no choice but to push Shi Nancheng away and pick up the phone from the table.

"Who? Such a disappointment?" Shi Nancheng asked speechlessly.

Mu Feng clicked on the phone screen, it was Zhong Yaqi.

"My cousin." Mu Feng said.

Then, the phone was connected.

"Hey, brother, are you not at home? Haoyuan and I are at your door now! When are you coming back?" Zhong Yaqi said.

"⊙⊙! Oh! We are at home! I was too tired just now, so I fell asleep." Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with a guilty conscience.

"Are you asleep? Then let's go back first! I wanted to have hot pot with you! I have bought everything." Zhong Yaqi said.

"Hotpot? That's great, I'm still hungry! Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away." Mu Feng said.

As soon as Shi Nancheng heard that Mu Feng was about to open the door, he immediately jumped up from Mu Feng and hurried back to the bedroom to get dressed.

As a result, the bath towel accidentally fell to the ground because of too much movement.

"Bath towel!" Mu Feng said with a wry smile.

Shi Nancheng slammed on the brakes, turned again, ran back, picked up the towel and ran to the bedroom.

How funny that scene was, Mu Feng shook his head.

Seeing Shi Nancheng close the bedroom door, Mu Feng went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Zhong Yaqi and Lu Haoyuan were seen standing outside the door with a few big bags of things smiling.

"Brother, welcome home! Hahaha." Zhong Yaqi said with a smile.

Lu Haoyuan, Du Mingyu, and Zhuang Xiaoxue also greeted Mu Feng one after another.

"Come in!" Mu Feng said with a smile.

Zhong Yaqi and the others filed in immediately.

At this time, Shi Nancheng just changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom.

"Brother Nancheng." Zhong Yaqi and the others greeted him one after another.

Shi Nancheng nodded with a smile, glanced over their heads at Mu Feng, with a playful smile in his eyes.

Mu Feng smiled and rolled his eyes at him.

"Brother, tonight's hot pot soup is made by me this morning according to the Chongqing soup stew recipe you taught me last year. You can try it later and see how it tastes." Zhong Yaqi put the things on the table while talking to Mu said the wind.

"Okay." Mu Feng nodded.

"Brother Mufeng, Brother Nancheng, sit down and watch TV for a while, and let's wash things up first." Lu Haoyuan said.

"Okay." Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng nodded, and then went to the living room to rest.

In the kitchen, Zhong Yaqi and Lu Haoyuan were busy in and out preparing things.

Shi Nancheng watched TV for a while and felt bored. Seeing that Zhong Yaqi and the others didn't pay attention to the situation here, his hands and feet were dishonest again.

He grabbed Mu Feng's hand and kept counting his fingers, counting up and down, like a three-year-old child.

After a while, Zhong Yaqi and the others got everything ready.

"Brother Mufeng, Brother Nancheng, all right, you can come over and eat." Lu Haoyuan shouted.

Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng responded and walked over.

I saw a steaming hot pot placed in the middle of the dining table, and the soup in the pot was constantly tumbling, making the sound of 'gulu gulu'.

All kinds of ingredients are placed around the hot pot, including meat, seafood, vegetables, soy products, mushrooms, eggs, vermicelli, etc.

"Did you move the whole vegetable market here?" Mu Feng joked.

"Yeah, it's rare for you to come back, of course you have to be big!" Zhong Yaqi said with a smile.

After a pause, she scooped up a bowl of hot pot soup and handed it to Mu Feng: "Brother, try it and see if it works."

Mu Feng nodded and took the soup bowl.

After looking at the color of the hot pot soup, I smelled it with my nose, and the taste is not bad.

Wei Wei took a sip, tasted it, and nodded.

"You made this soup well." Mu Feng said.

The alluring taste of Chongqing hot pot comes from the soup stew, which is the original soup of the hot pot. It determines the flavor of the hot pot, and the preparation of the original soup is also the most critical part of making hot pot.

The quality of the original soup is directly related to the success or failure of the hot pot.There are many types of Chongqing hot pot, and the original soups used are also varied, but the most basic are red soup and clear soup.

As long as you master the recipes and preparation methods of these two original soups, you can prepare the first-class original soup.

This time, Zhong Yaqi made clear soup hot pot.

The clear soup hot pot has a very strong taste, and the soup is relatively clear, refreshing and suitable, not dry or greasy.

"I originally wanted to make red soup, but then I thought, you are running around outside, it is not suitable for eating red soup hot pot, it is too easy to get angry. So, I made this clear soup hot pot, which is more nourishing." Zhong Yaqi said.

"When you were sweeping this pot of soup, the mince was not dissolved with cold fresh soup, and the umami taste was a bit weaker." Mu Feng said after taking another sip of the clear soup.

"You've already tasted it!" Zhong Yaqi opened her mouth wide, "I forgot this step at the beginning when sweeping the soup, but I remembered it after making half of it, and I used cold fresh soup to dissolve the other half .”

The clear soup for making clear soup hot pot is divided into two steps: hanging soup and sweeping soup.

Although it sounds simple, the process is actually very cumbersome, and it is difficult for ordinary families to do it. Often only professional hot pot restaurants can cook a pot of qualified clear soup.

Moreover, because the skill of the chefs in each hot pot restaurant is different, the taste of the original soup in each hot pot restaurant is different.

After Zhong Yaqi took a sip of the clear soup, she frowned slightly and said, "I can't quite taste it. My sense of taste is really weak!"

"It's okay, the main reason is that you cook less. If you cook it often, you will definitely be able to taste it. Besides, your pot of original soup is already qualified. Don't be discouraged." Mu Feng comforted her with a smile.

"I can't wait to eat, Mr. Mu, is the cooking time over?" Shi Nancheng looked at Mu Feng expectantly.

"Eat it! Eat it!" Mu Feng smiled and gave him a blank look.

Then, he smiled and said to Zhong Yaqi and Lu Haoyuan, "Okay, don't hold back, everyone, eat quickly!"

Everyone immediately feasted on it.
