"Seniors, wait a moment, I'll go get ready."

After making up his mind, Li Heng turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Brother Li Heng, I also want to help."

For some reason, Lu Xiaoxiao seems to be more and more interested in cooking recently. Is it because daily life is too boring?

Preparing two portions of hot pot soup base is not a lot of work. It is much easier than cooking for thousands of people. Li Heng can even do it by himself.

But since Lu Xiaoxiao is interested, Li Heng will naturally not stop her.

"Junior Brother Li Heng, let me help too."

Su Lingxuan also got up and went to the kitchen. She preferred to stay with Junior Brother Li Heng than with the big bosses in this room.

"Xue'er, why don't you go and see if you can be of any help."

Seeing that Jiang Xueer was the only junior left in the room, Jiang Mei thought that she and these elders had nothing in common to talk about.

He rushed Jiang Xueer to the kitchen, where a few young people should have some chat together.

Li Heng didn't have any objections. If he wanted to follow, he could follow. He was now in a cooking state and started to get busy.

In addition to the eight major cuisines, hot pot is another delicacy that is loved by the general public. It often appears on the dining tables of various classmates, friends or colleagues.

Before Li Heng traveled through time, he would have a meal every now and then.

So what is the most important thing about hot pot? The freshness of the ingredients? Is the dipping sauce rich enough?

Li Heng believes that the key lies in the soup base. As long as the soup base is well made, it will be delicious even if you put a shoe insole in it.

Taking into account the different tastes of everyone, Li Heng planned to make two different flavors of soup base, spicy and clear.

In order not to let the three girls who came with him have a wasted trip, Li Heng arranged some simple tasks such as cleaning for them.

Li Heng himself took out a large pot, put it on the fire, and prepared to make a large pot of bone soup first, because it would be used in both soup bases he planned to make.

Bones are naturally needed to make bone soup, and today Li Heng chose pork bones, which are pig thigh bones, also called stick bones or tube bones. It is said that this part has high nutritional value.

First chop a whole large bone into two sections, then blanch it in cold water to remove the blood.

Remove the large bones and rinse away the remaining blood foam on the surface, then put them into the pot again, pour in cold water, and add the three-piece set for removing fishy smell: green onions, ginger, and cooking wine.

Turn on high heat and bring the water to a boil. During the cooking process, use a spoon to scoop out the top layer of foam.

About half an hour later, the original clear water had been boiled into white soup, which meant that the bone soup was almost done.

The fragrance became stronger and stronger, causing the three women watching on the side to swallow their saliva.

So Li Heng took the pot off the fire and used a slotted spoon to fish out a few bones with some meat from the soup.

He handed it to the three women and said, "Here, let's gnaw on a piece of bone first. We'll have to wait a while before we can eat the hot pot."

"Thank you, Brother Li Heng. You're welcome then."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't care that his hands were hot, he held the bones in his hands and started to chew on them.

She sneaked into the kitchen just to wait for this moment.

Su Lingxuan also picked up a piece without hesitation and gnawed it along with Lu Xiaoxiao.

Even though there was not much seasoning on the bone, the two women could eat it with gusto. It looked like they were really hungry.

On the other hand, Jiang Xueer, who entered the kitchen for the first time, seemed a little cautious and stood there, not knowing what to do.

On the one hand, she really wanted to eat it, but on the other hand, she felt a little rude.

However, she did not hesitate for long. Under the interference of the other two women, she finally joined the bone-gnawing team.

Just looking at the three girls gnawing bones in front of him, Li Heng felt like he was feeding the dogs.

Li Heng shook his head, getting rid of this weird idea, and started the next steps of making the soup base.

First, clear the bottom of the soup pot. Prepare a new pot and heat oil. Add ginger slices and scallions and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour in bone soup, cover the pot, simmer for a short while until the water boils, and finally turn off the pot. Just fire.

The steps for making the spicy pot base are similar to the former, except that you need to add some flavor-enhancing seasonings such as dried chili peppers, cinnamon, and star anise.

Li Heng cooked the two soup bases simultaneously.

After preparing the soup base, most of the work has been completed. The next thing to do is the dipping sauce and hot pot ingredients.

As for the ingredients, the three women had already washed them. Vegetarian dishes can be served directly, while meat dishes need to be cut into thin slices by Li Heng with a knife, which will make them easier to cook.

The seasoning is nothing more than some chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., and it's quick to make.

After making all preparations, Li Heng and the three women brought out everything.

Li Heng took out two special pots specially prepared for eating hot pot, which he had specially made for Qi Ming before.

After getting along with Li Heng for a long time, Qi Ming has become accustomed to helping Li Heng build various pots and pans.

The pot is the kind of mandarin duck pot that is very common on Earth. One side is spicy and the other is clear soup.

"I can finally eat it. Little friend Li Heng kept us waiting."

After much anticipation, Li Heng finally came out of the kitchen.

"I wonder why my little friend has to divide the table into two today?"

Tie Ming saw Li Heng placing two identical pots on two round tables, and asked curiously, don't they usually sit together and eat together.

"Drinkers sit at one table, and non-drinkers sit at another table."

Li Heng, who was so used to being drunk by Tie Ming that he had a psychological shadow, finally came up with a perfect solution.

Song Qingfeng, Tie Ming, and Zhou Mubai, who like to drink, sat at the same table.

Li Heng was at the same table with Jiang Mei, Su Lingxuan, Lu Xiaoxiao and other women and children.

After everyone sat down around the two tables, they found that except for two kinds of soup, one red and one white, the other ingredients that Li Heng brought out seemed to be raw.

"Little friend Li Heng, these dishes look like they are all raw. How do you eat them?"

"Did little friend Li Heng make a mistake?"

"Is soup the staple food today?"

Everyone was talking about it one by one.

This amount of soup didn't seem to be enough. Tie Ming thought he could make it all by himself.

It was the first time for all the big guys to eat hot pot, so they were inevitably a little curious.

"Yes, the vegetables are raw. You can choose the vegetables you want to eat, then put them in the soup pot in front of you. After a few seconds, you can take them out and eat them."

After Li Heng finished speaking, he picked up a sliced ​​pork tenderloin with chopsticks and demonstrated it to everyone.

"In addition, these small bowls in front of you are filled with dipping sauces. You can mix different flavors according to your own taste. Put the cooked ingredients into the dipping sauces and stir them to make them taste more delicious."

Li Heng pointed to a few small bowls placed in front of him and continued to explain to everyone.

"Haha, interesting, interesting."

The big guys couldn't help but sigh that Li Heng could always give them some new ideas inadvertently.
