There was a slightly smaller hall on the second floor of Rena's hot pot restaurant. There were dozens of tables in the hall, and there were sealed private rooms around the hall. The private rooms were labeled with simple numbers, and there were a total of 32 of them.
As for the kitchen, it took up almost half of the space on the second floor.
Although it was not as scientific as modern kitchens, this kitchen was already divided into sections. The washing area, cutting area, cooking area, and so on were all completely separated. The stoves used were also the most advanced magic stoves.
"This is what a big restaurant should be like." Meg stood at the door and looked at the kitchen that was several times bigger than his own restaurant. He could not help but feel emotional.
"Boss, please sit here." Raina pushed a small dining cart out. There was a two-tone pot with red soup and clear soup. There were also all kinds of dishes on plates. There were vegetables, tripe, beef, and all kinds of dishes from Mamy's. Furthermore, they were all very fresh. They must have been bought and prepared in the morning.
Meg did not stand on ceremony, and sat down at the nearest hot pot table.
These hot pot tables had been prepared beforehand. Unlike Mamy's induction cooker, this one used a magic stove. One only needed to change the flammable stone regularly, and the temperature could be adjusted.
The flammable stone was a commonly used heating fuel in this world. It was a type of black stone that was the size of a baby's fist and had a smooth surface like a pebble. It was a strange stone that could emit stable heat through the activation of a magic array. It was not expensive, and even an ordinary family could afford it.
Using this magic stove to heat up hot pot was indeed a very good idea.
Bennett was indeed outstanding in business. Meg had to admit that. At least this hot pot restaurant had successfully replicated Mamy's by 70% to 80%. It only needed a talent like Raina to lead it, and the hot pot restaurant could become a machine that made money continuously.
It was a pity that he did not manage to poach Raina. Instead, he had thoughts that he should not have.
The soup pot was still hot. Raina placed the two-tone pot on the stove, and it began to boil after a short while.
Only then did Meg focus his attention on the soup pot in front of him. There were quite a lot of dried chili and pepper floating on the surface of the red soup pot. The butter soup had a tempting color, and the soup base was stir-fried with various spices. The aroma of the soup base was a little pungent, but it also rushed over mercilessly, making it hard to resist.
Meg sniffed carefully, closed his eyes, and thought seriously for a while. He did not know what spices Raina used, but it actually reached 70% to 80% of the soup base that he made. The remaining 20% to 30% should be due to the differences in spices..... She did not leave it empty, but replaced it with other spices to make the spicy soup base different from the one he made.....
"The fragrance of the spicy hot pot is very special. It is obviously different from the one I made, but it does not lose the spicy flavor. The specific taste can only be known after tasting it." Meg opened his eyes and said, and then his gaze fell on the clear soup pot next to him.
The most important thing in the clear soup pot was whether the bone broth was boiled in place. Raina did not need to worry about this. The thick white soup base had already explained everything.
However, in this soup pot, there were also green onions and a few red dried fruits.
"What is this?" Meg picked up the chopsticks and picked up a dried fruit that looked a bit like a red date.
"This is a kada fruit. It is slightly sour and can improve the freshness. When we stew meat, we often add a few in it. It can make the soup thicker and more delicious, so I also added a few in the clear soup pot. It can make the monotonous soup pot richer in color." Raina explained.
"It is equivalent to replacing the role of tomatoes, and it is not easy to cook. It is a very creative addition." Meg put the kada fruit back into the soup pot.
In terms of appearance, this double-flavored soup pot, whether it was the red soup or the clear soup, had reached the level that made people want to try it. It was not inferior to Mamy's hot pot.
In terms of fragrance, what made Meg gratified was that Raina had achieved innovation and differentiation, so that this hot pot restaurant would not be completely reduced to a low-quality version of Mamy's Hot Pot Special Area.
Raina's face did not show too much joy. She put the dishes on the dining cart one by one on the table and said a little nervously, "Please taste it."
"Okay, I'll try the clear soup pot first." Meg picked up a piece of fat beef with the chopsticks and rinsed it in the clear soup pot. The thin fresh beef had marble-like fat and quickly curled up in the boiling soup pot. Meg did not have time to let it grow old and lifted it out of the soup pot. In order to better taste the taste of the soup pot, Meg directly put the fat beef into his mouth without dipping it.
The fat beef was tender and juicy. It was soft and smooth in the mouth. After it was boiled in the rich bone soup with a slight sour taste, it was even more delicious.
Without any dipping sauce, the taste buds had been completely activated by the delicious and rich beef. After swallowing it, the taste of the meat in the mouth and teeth was endless.
This should be the fat beef cut from the top of the head of the best yellow ox. A yellow ox weighing a thousand pounds could only be cut out of a dozen pounds of the top of the head of the cow. It could be said that it was extremely precious.
Raina's attitude towards the ingredients made Meg quite gratified.
She did not relax the control of the quality of the ingredients because of the position of the hot pot restaurant.
Moreover, the kada fruit brought him a big surprise. The sour taste was not as sharp as the acetic acid, but a very mild sour taste. In this soup pot, it really had a very good effect of improving the freshness, even better than that of the tomatoes.
Then Meg put a few cabbages and lotus slices into the pot. The cabbages became soft in a short while. Similarly, there was no dipping sauce. The cabbages in winter were the freshest and sweetest. Even if it was boiled in plain water, it could still be delicious. After it was boiled in the bone soup, the freshness and sweetness had been catalyzed to the greatest extent. It was the satisfaction of scalding the mouth.
As for the lotus slices, Meg still chose to dip them in the dipping sauce that had just been prepared after tasting a mouthful of them.
For this kind of existence that was difficult to be tasted, it still needed to be adjusted with the dipping sauce to really show its damn deliciousness.
"The clear soup hot pot becomes very special because of the existence of the kada fruit. The dipping effect is also very good. As long as it is matched with the personal dipping sauce, it can make the customers who have a light taste satisfied with the hot pot." Meg put down the chopsticks and looked at Raina seriously and commented.
"Thank you." Raina's face finally bloomed with a smile. During this period of time, she had been thinking about how to make the seemingly simple clear soup hot pot rich with its own characteristics. Adding the kada fruit originally made her quite worried that Meg would reject it. She didn't expect to get such a high evaluation.
"Now, let me try the red soup pot." Meg took off his coat, reached out to unbutton the top button of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and then made himself a special dipping sauce for the red soup hot pot. He picked up the chopsticks and was ready to officially start.
Of course, the red soup pot should be eaten for the hot pot!
