The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Kou Lixia blinked, her baby face looking forward to it: "Can we really eat whatever we want?"

Shen Xuening is a very generous person: "Really, eat it."

Kou Lixia was very happy: "Thank you, blogger."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Eat."

The five of them took their bowls and began to eat happily.

After eating, Kou Lixia said to the camera: "I didn't expect that medicinal herbs and hot pot could be combined. After eating the whole thing, I feel like my appetite has been whetted. The more I eat, the more I want to eat."

Fan 2: "After eating the medicinal hot pot, I feel very comfortable. I have a feeling that if I have any physical discomfort, eating this hot pot will make me feel better immediately."

Fan 3: "In a medicinal hotpot, the most important thing is the taste of the hotpot. Although the taste of the medicinal materials cannot be ignored, it does not account for a large proportion, just like a seasoning in the hotpot."

Fan 4: "The taste is very novel, no weird smell, totally acceptable."

Fan 5: "This medicinal hotpot is very similar to mushroom soup hotpot. It is spicy with the taste of medicinal herbs, which is very unique."

Shen Xue Ning asked a few people: "Can you accept this taste?"

Kou Lixia replied: "I can accept it, and I really want to try the clear soup medicinal hot pot."

Shen Xue Ning said: "The clear soup won't taste good, because medicinal herbs are not like mushrooms or seafood. They are bitter in nature. You can't taste the bitterness now because it is covered by the spiciness. If you really want to taste it, you can."

She looked at the three herbs being boiled and said, "I can give you some clear soup later."

The five people turned their attention to the three pots.

Shen Xue Ning said: "That is the medicinal food I specially prepared. It has only been cooked for an hour. We can eat it after another hour."

Kou Lixia was even more excited: "As soon as we came in, we smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs. It turned out that they were cooking medicinal food."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I specifically studied medicinal hot pot today. The hot pot you tasted was only made using one of the methods. There are two other methods."

Kou Lixia opened her eyes wide: "Blogger, if possible, are you going to launch it in a hot pot restaurant?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "Yes, but the combination of medicine and hot pot is really a bit niche. I don't know if everyone can accept it. I plan to try selling it first."

Kou Lixia comforted him, "Don't think too much. I think everyone will want to try it for the sake of curiosity."

Shen Xue Ning agreed with this: "Yeah."

Kou Lixia asked: "Blogger, when are you going to launch these soup bases?"

Shen Xue Ning replied: "I just started researching it today. I will probably wait and see how everyone reacts before launching it."

Kou Lixia said: "The blogger has a good reputation. If you are willing to try it, I think everyone will be happy to try it."

Everyone likes to hear good words, and so does Shen Xue Ning: "I'm borrowing your good words."

Kou Lixia smiled and said, "Yeah."

After waiting for two hours, the medicinal food was ready. The whole house was filled with fragrance, which made people’s appetite particularly strong.

Shen Xue Ning took some bowls and first served some pure medicinal food for everyone to taste, and then mixed the medicinal soup with the hot pot base in a ratio of 1:2 to make a new pot base.

"Everyone, try the soup base this time." Shen Xue Ning went to get some more dishes.

The fans didn't hesitate and tasted the food openly.

Shen Xuening and Shen Baohong were also tasting the same three kinds of soup bases. They wondered what the difference was between this time and the first time.

Kou Lixia said: "Compared with the first time, I feel that the medicinal properties of this soup base are more thoroughly stimulated. With the same medicinal materials, I feel that the medicinal flavor of this soup base is stronger, whether it is the aroma or the taste of the medicinal materials themselves."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I feel the same way."

Fan 2 said: "I think the amount of medicinal soup can be reduced, such as 1:3,1, 4: or something, so that it doesn't have such a strong medicinal taste."

Fan 3 said: "No, if the flavor of the herbs is diluted, it won't taste the same. Since it's a medicinal hot pot, the flavor of the herbs must be stronger."

Fan 4 said: "I agree with what he said. Since it is already called a medicinal hot pot, the medicinal ingredients should be highlighted."

Fan 5 said: "What you said makes sense, but I think we should still focus on taste. The two should not dominate the other, but complement each other."

Shen Xue Ning was inspired after listening to Fan 5's words: "You are right, they should complement each other. I should adjust this ratio."

Shen Baohong said, "There is one last mixing ratio, where the medicinal soup and the base of the pot are mixed in reverse. I think we should all try it."

Shen Xue Ning was able to listen to the advice: "I'll try it right away."

Then she came up with a third combination and let everyone taste it.

This time the taste of the medicinal herbs is stronger, and the aftertaste of sweetness or bitterness can be tasted, which is quite obvious.

Shen Xue Ning said: "This is almost right."

The others nodded in agreement.

Shen Xue Ning thought for a while: "We need to reduce the proportion of medicinal soup and increase the proportion of hot pot, otherwise it will affect the taste."

Shen Baohong said at this time: "The medicinal food made by the second method is very good."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I think so too, but there is still room for improvement."

Shen Baohong asked: "So how do you plan to improve it?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "Just like the fans said, reduce the ratio of the medicinal soup and change it to 1:3,1, 4: or something like that."

Shen Baohong didn't know what this ratio would taste like, so he said, "Let's try it. There are so many medicinal soups and soup bases. Let's study them slowly."

Shen Xue Ning would definitely not rush things. She maintained a leisurely pace and started to proportion the ingredients again: "Everyone, try it again. Now the proportion is 1:3."

Shen Baohong was the first to taste it: "This is better than the medicinal hot pot prepared with the third method."

Shen Xue Ning took a bite and said, "It should taste better."

Kou Lixia said: "This is better than 1:2. It has the aroma of medicinal herbs and the spicy flavor of hot pot. It has the best of both worlds."

Shen Baohong suggested: "Let's try the 1:4 ratio again."

Kou Lixia said expectantly: "We also want to taste what it tastes like."

"Wait." Shen Xue Ning put down the bowl and chopsticks and started mixing it again. This time the ratio was 1:4, with the medicinal soup being 1 and the pot base being 4.

After the hot pot base is boiled, everyone puts the vegetables in again...

Shen Baohong looked at Shen Xuening and said, "It's too bland. The taste of the medicinal herbs has become much lighter, and I can't taste the medicinal herbs at all. This shouldn't work."

Shen Xue Ning said: "It's not very good, a ratio of 1:3 is better than this."

Kou Lixia asked, "Do you want to try 1:3.5?"

Shen Xuening thought for a while and said, "I'll try."

This time, we changed the ratio of medicinal soup to hot pot base to 1:3.5, and everyone tried it again.

After eating it, Kou Lixia was stunned and said in amazement: "Wow! Amazing taste, this taste is too good, isn't it?"

Fan 2: "Delicious, delicious, the taste is just right, everything seems just right."

Shen Baohong also said: "This taste is wonderful, it complements each other."

Shen Xue Ning was also satisfied: "It seems that this is the most perfect ratio. The medicinal materials and the hot pot base complement each other and highlight each other. It feels like a perfect match."

Fan 3 quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, that's the feeling. One point more, one point less is not acceptable."

Shen Baohong said: "Xue Ning, let's set this ratio for now."

Shen Xuening responded: "Yes."

Kou Lixia said happily: "We are witnessing the birth of a new flavor, right?"

Shen Baohong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, you are the witnesses of the birth of this new flavor."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Thank you for coming to taste the medicinal hot pot and for your valuable suggestions. You have made an invaluable contribution to the flavor this time. To thank you, next time you go to eat hot pot, tell us your names when you pay the bill and I will give you a 50% discount."

Kou Lixia thanked excitedly: "Thank you, blogger."

Shen Xue Ning invited everyone to boil the remaining ingredients and eat them together, so they didn't have to eat lunch today.

After finishing the food, everyone went to drink the medicinal food that was left at the beginning.

Medicinal food is actually the best, mainly because it is good for the body. However, the medicinal taste is too strong and not everyone can accept it.

After drinking the medicinal food, Kou Lixia and the others left contentedly.

Shen Baohong sat on the sofa: "I feel sleepy when I eat. I feel like sleeping now."

Shen Xue Ning looked at her watch: "It's only eleven o'clock in the morning."

"Yeah, maybe it's because I've been nourished too much." Shen Baohong burped, and felt even more sleepy.

Seeing that he was tired, Shen Xue Ning said, "Go to sleep if you want to. It won't cost you a few hours."

Shen Baohong shook his head: "I'll clean up with you first, and then go to bed." Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Shen Xue Ning did not stop them and asked them to clean up together. After they finished cleaning up, she wanted to go to sleep for a while. She was also a little sleepy, maybe because she had eaten too much.

……

In the afternoon, Shen Xue Ning carried a backpack, took a hoe, and went up the mountain with Shen Baohong.

There were two purposes for going up the mountain. One was to check how much of the wall was built, and the other was that she was going to dig medicinal herbs. When she came to the mountain to explore before, she saw a lot of medicinal herbs, so she dug them this time.

Shen Baohong still had the video recorder hanging on his chest, carrying a backpack, and holding a hoe and sickle, and would help dig medicinal herbs in a while.

The treasures in the mountains are great, and it’s not just talk.

Not long after reaching the mountain, the sheepdog found a nest of pheasant eggs for Shen Xue Ning, but Shen Xue Ning did not take them. She felt that it would be a burden and would affect her subsequent work.

But they remembered the location and would get it when they went down the mountain.

Shen Xue Ning touched the sheepdog's head and said, "I'll give you a boiled egg in the evening as a reward."

The sheepdog jumped up and down with joy.

As you walk into the mountains, the first thing that catches your eye is a large clump of Cistanche deserticola. The roots of the Cistanche deserticola are intertwined, thick, and dark in color, giving the impression that its medicinal effects are quite strong.

Shen Xue Ning took out a machete, picked the best chicken blood vine, cut it off, and then cut it into pieces and put them in the backpack.

Shen Baohong said: "Chopping one chicken blood vine has filled the backpack."
