I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

"I have sent people to look for a location. The shops in other counties will have to wait for a while, but the location of our county has been determined. We will clean up in the next two days and we will be able to start production after the Chinese New Year."

Master Sun stroked his goatee with some pride. He just wanted to get it done quickly so that he could show Master Wang that he was still very capable.

When he thought about the other party being unhappy, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he secretly warned himself not to be impetuous, otherwise if he messed up, wouldn't the other party be laughing at him.

Xu Si listened quietly and replied with a smile, "Master Sun, please take care of the arrangements. You have been doing business for so many years, so you must have more experience than me. I trust you to do the job."

This compliment made Mr. Sun even happier. He had heard a lot of polite words, but the people who said them were mostly older. This was the first time he had heard such praise from a little girl.

"No, we are in a cooperative relationship, so I still need to tell you about these things."

Mr. Sun originally just made a symbolic notification, but after Xu Si's praise, he was more willing to talk about the progress. After all, who doesn't like to hear nice words?

"It's up to you," Xu Si did not refuse. She valued such a big deal. "I'll treat you to a meal when you come."

"Haha, what are you going to treat me to?" Mr. Sun smiled and was a little curious.

"We run our own restaurant, so we don't go out to eat. We just have hotpot and boxed lunches. You can eat whatever you want. It's almost noon, so why not just have the meal here," Xu Si said with a wave of his hand. It didn't matter if one meal was less than another.

"Okay, I won't be polite then. But forget about the boxed lunch. I think the hot pot is good, but it's just that it's too grand for one person to eat at a table, and I can't eat much either."

Mr. Sun was not interested in the box lunch. For most people, it was delicious, but for him, it was not good enough.

Hotpot is quite to his liking, but he usually eats it with business partners and family.

"That's easy. I'll make you some spicy hot pot, the kind for one person. It's hot and you can have everything you want." Xu Si said as he stood up.

Malatang is also known as a small hot pot, and it is free to eat.

Anyway, according to her understanding, the one with soup is called Malatang, and the one without soup is called Malaban.

She worked part-time in a spicy hot pot restaurant when she was in college. The taste was very unique and the soup was milky white. Although she was only responsible for weighing, pulling free noodles and putting goods on the shelves, she still benefited her friends. She could tell someone with just one look and would give them more noodles.

But after only doing it for a month, the smell was too strong, and it was summer, so I sweated and my hair became greasy.

"Then thank you Miss Xu, shall we go to the hotpot restaurant?" Master Sun also wanted to get up.

Xu Si said hurriedly, "No, it's fine right here. The materials are all here. Just sit and wait."

"Okay," Master Sun just left the stool and sat back down.

It would be better not to change places. It would be cold outside. He touched the mink coat he had taken off the table and was reluctant to let it go.

Xu Si followed his movements and looked over. The fur was smooth and shiny black, fluffy and light, and it looked very warm.

Even someone like her who has no knowledge of fur can see that it must be very expensive.

It was a bit embarrassing to say, but she was sitting at the counter counting money when she saw a man wearing a fur coat walk into the room. He was very graceful, with only a little of his face visible under the cover of the hat.

She had begun to imagine how good-looking the face underneath was, but then the other person raised his hand and pulled off his hat, revealing his own face, which was a critical blow to her.

To be fair, Mr. Sun is not ugly. He has strong facial features and clear contours. He was definitely a handsome guy when he was young. But after all, he has aged and has less flesh on his face, so he doesn't look as noble.

"Do you like spicy food?" Xu Si asked as he pushed the stool he had just sat on inward to save space.

“It’s a little spicy.”

Mr. Sun always orders mild spicy food and has never tried other levels of spiciness, so he chose the conservative one this time.

Xu Si nodded, "Is there anything you don't eat?"

"No, you do it as you see fit."

After collecting the other party's taste, Xu Si returned to the kitchen.

She hadn't eaten spicy hot pot for a long time, and after asking others for their opinions, she decided that everyone should have this for lunch today.

The bone broth is ready and the store has been providing it for free. Today's broth happens to be made from pork bones.

Xu Si scooped a few scoops into the pot, and then grabbed some red peppercorns, white peppercorns, and lantern peppers. He wrapped them in gauze and tied them tightly with a rope. He washed them with clean water to remove dust and bitterness, and put them into the bone soup to cook.

Take another casserole, add milk and bring to a boil, then pour in the bone broth and simmer over low heat.

Although I don’t know who was the first to try adding milk, it tastes pretty good, with a light milky flavor that neutralizes the spiciness, increases viscosity, and makes the color look better too.

However, in reality, some unscrupulous merchants put evaporated milk in the soup to impersonate soup stock.

There is nothing wrong with Sanhua evaporated milk itself. It is made by condensing high-quality fresh milk. The water content of distilled evaporated milk is half that of fresh milk, and it has a smooth and delicate taste.

Xu Si went to the utility room and took out a palm-sized piece of hot pot base, put it into the seasoning bag, and put it into the pot.

The hot pot base is made with lard, a whole big piece of it, which is broken off from the top when used.

The main purpose is to make it easier to make lamb ribs, so as to avoid frying the base ingredients every time. In winter, the room cannot be ventilated easily and the smell will be too pungent.

When the weather is cool, it still maintains its solid shape at room temperature, but it is not as hard.

While making the soup base, Xu Si prepared various meatballs, rummaged through the remaining vegetables in the basket, picked up a few potatoes and cut some potato slices, and then added the common cabbage.

The staple food was hand-rolled noodles, and Su Jinyue helped her make it. There was quite a lot of noodles for more than ten people, so Xu Si was responsible for rolling the noodles since he was strong, while Su Jinyue was responsible for cutting them into strips and finally sprinkling some dry flour to prevent them from sticking.

Following Xu Si's instructions, An Yu added some bean curd skin, kelp, mushroom slices, beans, etc. from the prepared dishes, put them on the plate, placed them next to the meatballs, and began to busy himself with frying today's dishes.

Xu Si stretched his arms, put the frozen meatballs into the soup base first, put the noodles in after the water boiled, and then put in the other cooked dishes in turn.

"Second sister-in-law, the sesame paste is ready," Qinghuan raised the porcelain jar to indicate.

On the surface, it looks no different from ordinary sesame paste, but in fact, fermented bean curd, chives, salt and water are added to sesame paste, which is stirred evenly and then spread.

Xu Si took it after praising it, and placed eight bowls next to each other on the stove, adding appropriate amounts of mashed garlic, sesame oil, chili oil, vinegar and sesame paste to each bowl.
