Xia Shuo swagger

Chapter 60
The strategy copied from the old owner of Niushan Hot Pot is obviously very convincing.

Although Xia Zhaoyao had just taken her seat, her status as a seasoned hotpot connoisseur had become a consensus.

Under her introduction, everyone at the "other" table changed their tickets one after another and chose to try the authentic Jiugong old hot pot.

The boss didn't seem to be here tonight, and it was a middle-aged aunt who served the pot.

"By the way, hot pot is also divided into old and new? I heard you are always old hot pot, old hot pot..."

At this time, a boy he didn't know suddenly asked.

"that is because……"

Xia Zhaoyao was about to answer when he suddenly froze.

Subconsciously, she turned her head and found that someone had already sat down at Zhang Xiaotian's table.

"...Is that because?" The boy repeated in confusion.

"Oooh-"

Xia Zhaoyao came back to his senses, looked at the other people at the table, and introduced them confidently.

"Old hot pot, let's start from the bottom of the pot. The so-called old hot pot is actually old oil hot pot..."

At this time, at another hot pot table.

Qin Shuo pointed to the tumbling hot pot, smiled and asked everyone at the same table.

"Do you know what to look for when deciding where a hot pot belongs?"

"taste?"

"Fuzhou Hot Pot and Huaijiang Hot Pot are all spicy - but there are differences. Otherwise, how can hot pot restaurants distinguish themselves?"

Qin Shuo shook his head with a smile, and started the conversation at their table with the bottom of the pot and butter.

…………

Xia Zhaoyao on the other side reminded Sun Lingyi solemnly:
"The freshly broken hairy belly is the most delicious, and the ups and downs are the formula for scalding, and the counting is 7-15 seconds."

Xia Zhaoyao, with his hairy belly in his arms, told them the story the owner of the hot pot restaurant told them, as a small condiment for the ingredients waiting to be boiled.

"In the earliest days, hot pot was not called hot pot, it was called 'shui eight yuan'. At that time, many butchers in Huaijiang slaughtered pigs and cattle and threw them into the water. The boatmen and dock workers thought it was a pity when they saw it, so they put those Pick up the internal organs, clean them, and eat them while boiling them in the spicy and delicious red soup, which will fill you up and keep you cold and dehumidified..."

Qin Shuo on this side is enthusiastically popularizing the past of Huaijiang to Zhang Xiaotian and others.

"...Beef tripe and Xuewang were not easy to sell at that time, so many people bought the tripe at a low price as a main course for hot pot."

"The center of Jiugongge is the soul. Here, the red soup is rolled, which is most suitable for 'hot'. The most suitable ingredients must be hairy tripe, duck intestines, loin slices, beef liver..."

Like a general, Xia Zhaoyao tapped the plates of dishes on the table and introduced them in detail.

"Nine palaces and cross grids, medium heat is suitable for cooking, the most important thing to miss is the yellow throat—"

Qin Shuo smiled happily: "The yellow throat is actually not a throat, it is the largest blood vessel in pigs and cows, which is the aorta."

Xia Zhaoyao smiled happily: "It's all collagen, almost no fat or cholesterol, and of course it can't be counted as internal organs."

…………

On the second floor of Niushan Old Hot Pot, the students of Class 22 Class [-] are roughly divided into three waves.

Qin Shuo and the potential class committee members who hope to gain points in the counselor's mind, Xia Zhaoyao and the others who are not keen on socializing.

Oh, and there are students roughly divided into several tables according to various small labels, who are boiling hot pot lively.

Xia Zhaoyao and Qin Shuo, sitting next to their own hot pots, said almost the same words to the people at the same table, as if two chopsticks were clamping their hairy belly, scalding them one by one to make them crispy .Unknowingly, with the two as the center, the students sitting around also came over and listened to the novel hot pot story with great interest.

Yellow throat and tooth stems are delicious, and county flowers and kidney flowers are also must-order. Many locals in Huaijiang know about them, but not many people know their respective parts.

Delicious brain flowers are naturally a very novel ingredient, but how long does it take to cook brain flowers?This has to be explained by experts.

"Sounds so troublesome, hot pot, after all, it's enough to cook it—"

Opposite Qin Shuo, a burly boy with a square face frowned.

"Anyway, it can be cooked after all, even if it's all in."

Qin Shuo immediately expressed his disapproval.

"The core of the dinner party is actually to get what you need."

He pointed at the boiling red soup in the pot, and said solemnly.

Xia Zhaoyao poured the brains into the oblique groove, and poured the yellow throat and beef into the four-well grid in turn.

"The significance of Jiugongge is that each groove has different ingredients. Don't you find this level and freedom fascinating?"

Sun Lingyi made a logical comment: "But no matter what you say, it's fine to cook and eat enough, and it doesn't matter if you don't pay so much attention."

but……

Qin Shuo said: "Hot pot shouldn't be a hodgepodge thrown away casually."

Xia Zhaoyao said: "Hot pot has layers, it's like Western food has appetizers and main courses."

Qin Shuo stood up and used a colander to distribute the cooked ingredients into everyone's bowls, "No matter what time it is, eating delicious food is the happiest thing."

Xia Zhaoyao stood up and scooped up the delicacy that was boiled in the pot, "The purpose of going to the restaurant is to be happy, so naturally we should try our best to make the trip worthwhile."

Going out to eat in a restaurant specially, of course, is to taste the delicious food that you can't usually eat.

The focus of a dinner party is to eat well first, and then you will be in the mood for subsequent socializing and playing.

Xia Zhaoyao and Qin Shuo got up at the same time, and manually scooped up food for everyone at their respective tables.

The two were at both ends of the hot pot hall on this floor. When they got up, they naturally saw each other.

Xia Zhaoyao saw Qin Shuo, and Qin Shuo saw Xia Zhaoyao.

Originally, they stood up and picked up the vegetables through the net, intending to distribute them to the friends at the table one by one, but now they stopped at the same time.

In the bustling and noisy hot pot restaurant, Xia Zhaoyao and Qin Shuo's eyes stopped for a moment on the colanders in their respective hands, and it took a long moment.

Then the two sat down, put down the colander, and picked up the chopsticks to stir the oil dish again.

"Ah, but you're right...Anyway, it's right to eat happily."

Qin Shuo said with a smile, focusing on scooping up pieces of meat in the pot.

On the other side, Xia Zhaoyao suddenly felt restrained, and she gently poked the corner of her brain with her chopsticks.

"Uh—cooking is of course the most important thing. It's a victory if you don't have diarrhea after eating hot pot."

Oh?
Just now, ummm...

The noisy hot pot restaurant seemed suddenly quiet for a second, half a second.

For no reason, Qin Shuo and Xia Zhaoyao felt that many strange eyes suddenly wandered over them.

Uh... it shouldn't matter, right?

It's just a coincidence——

Qin Shuo and Xia Zhaoyao ate their respective bowls in suspense.

Anyway, from the beginning to the end, the two of them were innocent and had no communication.

In such a chaotic and noisy place, it's impossible even to catch wind and shadow——

…………

After a few minutes.

Drop drop drop.

Sun Lingyi's WeChat phone vibrated several times.

She secretly looked down and saw that it was sent by Liu Xin from the next table.

"Sun, Sun—"

"Call, call, have you seen Yao Yao and the squad leader?"

"We are all guessing now, do you think the two of them will... Hehehe?"

Sun Lingyi looked at Xia Zhaoyao, who was eating stuffily beside him, and quickly tapped his fingers on the chat window.

"It's still guesswork? You forgot?"

"These two were in pairs before they were divided into classes."

"I knew it!!!" Liu Xin said excitedly and disappeared.

…………

"Old Zhu, what are you talking about over there, so happy?"

"The squad leader is in the hot pot lecture hall—"

"Huh? Xia Zhaoyao has been talking about this just now."

"Husband sings and wife follows—"

Zhu Houbai replied quickly, winking at Lei Zhengrong who was sending a message to inquire.

"Qin Shuo smells like hot pot all over his body at noon, so he can't eat it alone?"

"Could it be that?!"

"I told you earlier, our squad leader is a master."
