As a unique hotpot of Guizhou Province, the Black Bean Hotpot had its own charm. Smelling the spicy aroma and listening to Yan Junchang's story about the origin of the Black Bean Hotpot, one would feel extremely satisfied. It would be even better if one could eat it right away.
The hotpot of the Master Chef Restaurant naturally had its own specialties. Although there was no limit, each type of hotpot could only be ordered once. Naturally, there was no need to explain in detail. Apart from the main ingredients, each type of hotpot could be ordered as many side dishes as one wanted.
As a hotpot that could heat anything, it naturally had its own charm.
The main ingredient of the Black Bean Hotpot was the Glutinous Rice Paste Chili. It could also be said to be the soul of Guizhou Province's cuisine. In many places, many dishes required the Glutinous Rice Paste Chili.
The first time Yuan Zhou made the Glutinous Rice Paste Chili was when Colin made the Glutinous Rice Paste Chili for Yuan Zhou to taste. To return the favor, Yuan Zhou also made a Glutinous Rice Paste Chili as a gift.
At that time, Colin was astonished. Since then, he had secretly started to give Ke Sen special training. He wanted Ke Sen to become an apprentice of Yuan Zhou if he wanted to improve a little more.
Before he could take action, Yuan Zhou had already started to prepare to recruit a registered disciple. When luck came, it couldn't be stopped.
Therefore, under his father's strict education, Ke Sen could only move forward bravely. With great difficulty, he managed to obtain a spot in the Black Bean Hotpot Chili. It was truly a joyous occasion.
However, that had happened several years ago. It was not a lie that Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were improving every day. Now that the Glutinous Rice Paste Chili appeared in front of everyone, not to mention Yan Junchang who was very familiar with it, even Colin who was proficient in the culinary arts didn't dare to recognize it.
"Hiss, I never expected Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills to be so unparalleled. It's truly amazing," Yan Junchang's eyes shone.
Yan Junchang had never thought that he would be amazed by the Glutinous Rice Pancake Chili today. The rich color, the fragrant taste, and the distant fragrance were enough to make people forget about worldly things. Even those who had never eaten the black bean hotpot before were starting to drool.
It was Du Zijun's idea, so when he said to start eating, everyone quickly picked up their chopsticks and put them into the red pot to cook.
Some preferred to boil the beef. The sliced beef was as thin as paper, and the texture was distinct. It looked very oily and glossy. After being soaked in the red gravy, it immediately curled up slightly and gave off a jade-like luster. It looked very beautiful. Even though it was wrapped in such a strong aroma, one could still vaguely smell a milky fragrance. One could totally imagine how enjoyable it would be if this piece of beef entered one's mouth.
Du Fan couldn't resist the temptation and put the beef into his mouth without hesitation. No amount of imagination could stop the shock of actually eating the beef. It was fresh, spicy, smooth, and tender. Even though it was thinly sliced, it still retained a lot of juice. When he bit into it, the juice burst out. It was extraordinarily delicious.
"Oh, it's really delicious. It's even a little spicy. Also, the taste of this beef is really good. But I seem to have boiled it for a second longer. I'll definitely boil it less next time. Perhaps it will taste even better," Du Fan reflected inwardly. His movements didn't slow down and he continued boiling the beef.
On the other side, Yan Junchang, who had long been ready, chose the wild vegetables from Guizhou Province. It was no secret in the industry that he liked to boil wild vegetables with black bean hotpot. He especially enjoyed the feeling of the spicy gravy that was rolled up by the leaves and stored in it to stimulate his throat. It was simply intoxicating.
Just looking at Yan Junchang's sweaty face while eating, one could tell how much he enjoyed it.
Du Zijun also had his own purpose. He planned to learn about the black bean hotpot and see if he could develop a new hotpot with the famous black bean from Guizhou Province. It was very enjoyable for the descendants to enjoy the shade of the trees planted by the predecessors. However, as a descendant and the predecessor of his son, Du Zijun obviously knew the principle of planting more trees.
He worked very hard. With such a purpose in mind, he didn't boil the vegetables to eat at the beginning. Instead, he directly dipped the vegetables in the bottom of the pot and ate them.
Logically speaking, with such a strong color, the taste shouldn't be light and should be very strong. However, when he tasted it, he found that it was actually not the case. Although the taste was indeed a little stronger than usual, the spiciness was just right. It was not dry and spicy, but a little moist. Not only the soft black bean, but also the fragrant and spicy glutinous rice cake and chili seemed to have been added with some special spices. However, Du Zijun didn't taste it and had to dip the vegetables in the bottom of the pot again.
Not to mention that he was eating the bottom of the pot, it didn't look strange at all when others were boiling the hotpot.
Yan Junchang's table was not the only one that was very lively. After all, eating hotpot was always lively. The other tables were also very lively.
The diners came from all over the country and naturally, the hotpot they ordered was also very different. Some specially came here to order the hotpot of their hometown, such as the fish head hotpot of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the beef hotpot of Chaoshan, or the mushroom soup hotpot of Yunnan Province.
Some specially came here to eat the spicy hotpot of Sichuan Province, the Yuanyang hotpot, or the nine-grid hotpot of Shancheng Province. Anyway, as long as you didn't think of it, there was nothing you couldn't eat.
As the Encyclopedia of Hotpot provided by the system, it even had some hotpots that had been lost in history. It could be said that it had everything. It was definitely the most comprehensive place to eat hotpot in China and even in the world. However, because the quota was too small, not many people had eaten it. Therefore, although the news spread out quickly, the coverage was still relatively small.
After all, it had only been half a month. No matter how fast it spread out, it couldn't be spread all over the world.
The reason why he wanted to take care of Yin Ya's health was that whenever the hotpot day of the restaurant was hot, Yuan Zhou would make some nourishing hotpot for Yin Ya.
This time, Yuan Zhou prepared the white fish hotpot for Yin Ya, which happened to have less fat content. In addition, the other side dishes were fish and beef, which had less fat content. It was also in line with Yin Ya's repeated emphasis that she needed to pay attention to the management of her body.
In fact, there was also a reason for this. With Yuan Zhou around, Yin Ya could forget about losing weight. It had already taken her a lot of effort to maintain her weight. Moreover, when winter came, Yuan Zhou began to give her supplements, which was called fattening.
Other people fattened in the autumn, but when it came to her, she fattened in both the autumn and winter. However, she couldn't refuse the delicacies made by Yuan Zhou.
However, in less than a month, Yin Ya was going to participate in an international-level exchange meeting. Although she was going with the company's senior management, it was still an opportunity to show her face. Therefore, Yin Ya emphasized to Yuan Zhou that it was okay to eat supper or meals, but try to choose the food with less fat content.
For Yuan Zhou, who had learned many cuisines, this was also a piece of cake. Today's white fish hotpot was an example.
