Chapter 214 The Captain Visited While Eating Hot Pot
With everyone's concerted efforts, the ingredients for the hot pot were quickly sorted out.
Everyone soaked the mountain products they found in hot water, and some also found the radishes and cabbages that had been frozen hard in the yard.
In addition, those who need to pull the dough are pulling the dough, and those who need to cut vegetables and meat are busy on the chopping board.
Busy times always pass quickly. When Bai Wanting fried the hot pot base and poured boiling water into the big pot, everyone was already ready to prepare the dishes.
The aroma of the hot pot base was carried by the hot air and drifted into everyone's nostrils. Under Lin Sitian's oral description, the hot pot base fried by Bai Wanting exuded a strong aroma that made everyone swallow their saliva frantically.
Looking at the various processed ingredients placed on the stove next to the big pot, everyone immediately brought their own bowls and chopsticks and prepared to wait for the soup to boil and start eating.
During this period, Lin Sitian also informed everyone about the water content, allowing everyone to mix their favorite flavors.
Although they don't have sesame paste and can't make sauce dishes, they can make oil dishes.
You can also add some simple toppings that you like.
In addition to the most basic salt, MSG, vinegar, and soy sauce, there are also onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, as well as crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, and dried peas that they usually fry as snacks.
At first glance, it seems quite rich. In addition, there are some chili peppers that they exchanged from the indigenous residents of the brigade.
After everyone prepared their dipping sauce, they all stood by the pot waiting for the soup to boil. They didn't have to wait too long. Within a few words, the water began to bubble out.
As the water in the big pot began to bubble, Lin Sitian took her chopsticks and said happily to everyone:
"Okay, it's time to serve the dishes. Whatever you want to eat, start with noodles or something like that. Then add them last. When everyone is almost done eating, serve the noodles as the main course."
After hearing this, everyone immediately started adding the dishes they wanted to eat into the pot.
Some have potato cubes, some have soaked dried mushrooms, some have large vegetable leaves, and some even have meat slices directly...
When they started to scald their favorite dishes, they put the first cooked piece of their favorite vegetables into their bowls, dipped it in water and put it into their mouths, and immediately the taste they had never felt before spread in their tongues.
After feeling the delicious taste in their mouths, they immediately started to attack quickly!
The soup base in this big pot began to boil happily, and the hot steam rose up. Everyone picked up their chopsticks, eager to try it.
They seized the opportunity, quickly picked up the tender slices of meat and put them into the pot. The slices of meat were instantly covered with hot soup.
After a while, the meat changed color and became cooked, and they couldn't wait to pick up the first piece of their favorite thing and put it steadily into their own bowls.
Then, use a small spoon to scoop up a full spoonful of carefully prepared dipping sauce and slowly pour it on the meat slices. The red chili oil, mashed garlic sesame oil, coriander and chopped green onion blend together, and the aroma goes straight into your nose.
The moment you put it in your mouth, the rich and mellow taste of the dipping sauce spreads first, followed by the freshness and tenderness of the meat slices that dominate your taste buds.
Soft and tender yet chewy, the unprecedented wonderful taste spreads rapidly in the tongue cavity like fireworks, with layers of numbness, spiciness, freshness and fragrance.
Their eyes lit up, their cheeks puffed up slightly, they chewed contentedly, and mumbled incoherently:
“This is too delicious!”
Then I looked at my companions sitting around me. Everyone had a happy smile on their face. For a moment, laughter and the sound of boiling hot pot were intertwined, and the room was full of joy.
While eating this fascinating hotpot, smelling the fragrance that spread all around, and looking at the snow scene outside the house, they felt warm all over and looked at the snow-covered yard outside.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other for a few seconds, and then they all laughed at the same time. After the laughter gradually subsided, Yun Ya wrapped the delicious food in her mouth and said to Lin Sitian vaguely:
"Wow, this is so delicious, such a rich taste and so many colorful ingredients.
It’s great to be able to eat so many delicious foods at once without the flavors mixing with each other.”
Upon hearing this, the other educated youth nodded repeatedly with the delicious food in their mouths, fearing that the food would fall out while they spoke, which would affect their mood for eating and their speed in eating.
After eating this delicacy, Bai Wanting looked at the snowy scene outside the window and couldn't help but sigh:
"That's right, it's not just delicious. It's also rare to be able to eat hot meals in this cold winter.
This hot pot not only allows us to enjoy the ultimate deliciousness, but also makes everyone feel warm all over after eating it, and not afraid of the cold at all.
And the ingredients won’t get cold as quickly as they used to when we cooked, so we have to eat faster. We can chat while eating hot pot.”
When the others heard Bai Wanting's words, they couldn't help but nod repeatedly, using their actions to express what they wanted to say at the moment.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who would come in such a snowy place?
Lin Sitian put down her chopsticks and went to open the door, only to see the team leader standing at the door, who was dressed particularly warmly. At this moment, the team leader looked at the educated youth who came to open the door with a spirited look.
"Captain, what are you doing?" Lin Sitian hurriedly pulled the captain into the house.
Although Lin Sitian was very confused at the moment, why did the team leader come to the Youth League Home at this time?
But we couldn’t let people freeze outside, so we quickly led the team leader into the kitchen.
After all, only the kitchen is warm at this moment, and the aroma is so rich. Since the captain is here, of course we have to treat him to a hot pot.
Otherwise, letting people leave the yard smelling the fragrance is not a good way to deal with people.
Before the team leader could even say anything, he was pulled into the kitchen filled with fragrance by the educated youth Xiaolin.
The moment he stepped into the kitchen, he saw a big pot steaming with all kinds of ingredients cooking in it.
And the tempting aroma that he smelled came from that big pot.
The captain looked at the various ingredients in the big pot and saw the various raw foods on the stove next to the pot, so he asked curiously:
"What's stewing in this pot? Why does it smell so good? I can smell it from so far away. Fortunately, I told you to go to the threshing ground in a few days to calculate your work points and collect grain. Otherwise, I would have missed such a delicious meal!"
As soon as everyone heard what the captain said, they immediately knew why the captain came here. He was worthy of being the captain. He could state his purpose in just a few words and ask the questions he wanted to ask.
Everyone couldn't hide the joy on their faces after hearing that they would go to calculate their work points and collect food in two days. At this moment, Yun Ya hurriedly gave up her seat and asked the team leader to sit down.
Lin Sitian first took a clean bowl and served the captain a bowl of steaming hot soup, so that the hot soup could drive away the coldness that the captain had brought with him.
"What is this food? Why does it smell so good?" The captain took the bowl of soup without hesitation, and after taking a big sip, he couldn't help but continue to sigh.
Lin Sitian smiled and explained that this was hot pot, and introduced him to the various ingredients and the benefits of making hot pot simply and quickly.
The captain nodded continuously as he listened, and began to slowly taste the food in the pot.
Everyone felt warm in their hearts when they saw the captain enjoying his meal.
In these difficult times, a hot pot meal not only fills the stomach, but also brings people closer together.
For this reason, the team leader also joined them in eating hot pot.
While everyone was eating and enjoying the food, they also learned a lot of news from the captain that the captain had not yet announced.
For example, their brigade has fertilizers and other materials, which allow their crops to grow well. In addition to the part paid as public grain, each member of the brigade can also get a lot of money.
Moreover, we learned from the team leader that the reason why the portions were distributed so quickly this time was because their team had long been known as an advanced production team.
Therefore, there was no good reward, so the commune directly allowed their brigade to distribute grain and money in advance.
It will be much more convenient if everyone can get money and tickets in advance, so that they can visit relatives and prepare New Year's goods.
When they were halfway through the meal, the female educated youth brought the noodles that Guan Zhiqing had pulled out to the stove and told the team leader that the noodles could be put directly into the pot and eaten after being boiled.
At this time, everyone was already familiar with hot pot, so they put the noodles into the pot skillfully.
Everyone put the noodles soaked in soup into their own dipping dishes.
The noodles are covered with vegetables and soaked up the soup. The taste is really unforgettable when you take a bite. It is more mouth-watering than ordinary boiled noodles or stewed noodles.
Because the food was so delicious, everyone stopped chatting and gossiping and started eating seriously.
The team leader had a delicious meal in the small educated youth home. After finishing the meal, he smiled at the educated youth a little embarrassedly.
The captain was thinking at the moment that after all, he just wanted to inform everyone that they would go to the brigade in two days.
After all, it was already past the usual dinner time, but I never expected that the educated youths in the small educated youth compound would eat more today than on ordinary nights.
It happened to be mealtime, and because of the charming aroma, I couldn't resist myself, so I shamelessly had an unforgettable hot pot meal.
