Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Dong Laishun is the most famous shabu-shabu restaurant in the imperial capital. In fact, the stir-fried dishes are okay, but the hot-pot is the main specialty here, so no one remembers the stir-fried dishes here.

Many people in later generations said that when they went to the imperial capital to eat shabu-shabu, they could not eat Dong Laishun, saying that it was not as delicious as Yangfang shabu-shabu. But in fact, the quality of Dong Laishun's mutton has always been very good, but it has become more and more expensive, making it less affordable.

But in this day and age, although Dong Laishun is more expensive than ordinary restaurants, the price is still acceptable. After all, the quality of the shabu-shabu here is good.

Yu Chengqing picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, put it in the pot, rinsed it with boiling water until it was dark brown in color, and then took it out.

Dip it into the prepared sesame sauce, put it in your mouth, chew it carefully, and then nodded, seeming to acknowledge the taste.

But he suddenly raised his head, looked at Wang Fei hesitantly, and asked carefully:

"How can I eat this authentically?"

But Wang Fei turned to look at Wang Xu, her eyes a little unclear.

"Oh, this, it's authentic no matter how you eat it. Everyone's taste is different, just follow your own habits. There are also hot pots in Wanwan, just follow your own habits." Wang Xu explained.

"When you come to the Imperial Capital, you have to follow the Imperial Capital's way of eating. This is a tradition, otherwise it would not be in vain." Yu Chengqing is still a little stubborn and wants to learn the traditions of the Imperial Capital.

"Are you sure you want to try the Imperial City's way of eating?" Wang Xu looked at the few Wanwan guests present, including Xiao Hutai, Yu Chengqing, and Hu Huizhong. They are all young people, so eating should not be a big problem.

"I'm sure, you have to eat according to the most authentic way. That's the meaning of traveling." Hu Huizhong's voice is very nice, a bit soft and waxy like the people of Wanwan, but it doesn't have the coquettishness that is popular in later generations. It doesn't sound like it. Won't give you goosebumps.

"Let's do this, let me demonstrate it to you first." Wang Xu nodded, stood up, and picked up a plate of mutton. This was a plate of two or two. Dong Laishun's plate was not big.

Then, he rushed directly into the boiling water while everyone was stunned.

Then, he stretched out his chopsticks and stirred the mutton that had just been put in. In less than three seconds, the meat changed color slightly, and he took it out, put it on an empty plate, and showed it to everyone.

The color of the flesh only changed slightly, and the surface turned gray with a slight pink tint, just before their eyes.

"Look, it's probably like this." Wang Xu enthusiastically showed everyone the heat of the shabu-shabu, and continued:

"No, eat it piece by piece, holding it with big chopsticks, like this."

Then Wang Xu used his chopsticks and put half the plate of mutton into his sauce bowl, dipped it in sesame sauce, and then stuffed it into his big mouth.

After chewing for a while, he swallowed it, and then with another chopstick, the whole plate of meat was instantly clean and smooth.

There was only an empty plate, a table of spectators looking at each other, and Wang Fei beside her, who was covering her mouth and snickering so hard that she could hardly hold back her voice.

"Look, it's that simple. Come on, try it." Wang Xu picked up a plate of mutton and handed it to Yu Chengqing, encouraging him.

"Do you guys eat so hard?" Hu Huizhong sat on the other side of Wang Fei. She was the only female guest today, so she was arranged to sit next to Wang Fei.

"Everyone in the family eats this way, don't be surprised. Otherwise we wouldn't have said that in the beginning. You can just follow your own habits. In the imperial capital, when you eat hotpot mutton, you eat it by the pound." Wang Fei explained to Hu Huizhong carefully. , she really likes this girl who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

Both of them have short hair. Although Hu Huizhong did it for filming reasons, it was enough to make Wang Fei like her.

Seeing that she was still doubtful, Wang Fei also took a plate of mutton and rushed it into the tumbling soup. Just like Wang Xu, in less than three seconds, she directly scooped it into her bowl of sauce.

Then with a few chopsticks, the bowl full of meat disappeared in front of everyone.

"Brother Qing, try it?" Wang Xuchong raised his eyebrows at Yu Chengqing and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Just give it a try, it looks so fierce." Yu Chengqing is really not a shy person. Following Wang Xu's example, he also picked up a plate of mutton, rushed it into the pot, stirred it quickly, picked it up, and ate it. , and then his eyes became a little brighter.

Feeling the texture of the mutton that almost melted in his mouth, mixed with the rich taste of sesame sauce and chive flowers, Yu Chengqing almost immediately felt the difference of this way of eating.

The mutton was very tender. It had a fresh texture that he had never experienced before. It didn't have the stiff feeling when he ate it just now. It felt like it broke when it hit the teeth and melted when it hit the tongue. Then he swallowed it involuntarily. .

"It's great. It really has to be eaten in the authentic way. You call it authentic, right?" Yu Chengqing really knows how to behave, and he immediately started to praise.

"You guys should try it too, it's really fun." Yu Chengqing turned to greet the members of the Little Tiger Team. This time he was the leader and had to take good care of the younger brothers.

"Is it really delicious?" Wu Qilong looked at the excited Yu Chengqing and hesitated.

Not to mention anything else, just this chopstick has exceeded his allowed food intake tonight. He doesn't want to eat anything else. They have strict dietary standards every day.

The youth team can't eat too much. Most of the management rules for men's and women's teams in Wanwan are learned since childhood, and they are quite strict.

"The three of you should share a plate. The key is to wash it at the beginning. You can share it later." Wang Xu noticed the embarrassment of several young people and reminded them.

Wang Fei had already picked up another plate, and thoughtfully helped Hu Huizhong put it into the soup pot, fish it out, thoughtfully added only one-third to Hu Huizhong, and put it in her sauce bowl.

The rest was put into his bowl without ceremony, and then he gulped it down.

"Shabu-boiled mutton is actually the earliest military ration for the Manchus. It's freezing in the Northeast.

After slaughtering the sheep, the meat is rolled up into frozen meat rolls.

During the war and marching, I would bring a meat roll like this with me. When it was time to eat, I would just boil the snow water, slice it into the pot with a knife and eat it.

Therefore, this mutton-boiled dish has never been a famous dish. It originated from military rations. Its biggest feature is that it can eat a large amount of food quickly in a short period of time.

So, to eat this thing, you have to eat the whole plate to have momentum and appetite. Don't be too polite, it won't taste good. "

After Wang Xu admired the expressions of the guests, he opened his mouth to explain the background of the mutton-boiled meat.

"Come on, you guys should try it too. Just go back and exercise for a while. Mutton is actually high-quality protein and not very meaty." Wang Fei also enthusiastically helped a few little tigers to prepare a plate and let them try it too.

The atmosphere in the private room gradually became more lively as Wang Xu was eating plate after plate of meat. Today, there were mainly several guests having activities in the evening. It was not easy to drink. Otherwise, if they were served a few glasses of wine at this time, the atmosphere would be great. That's good.

Shabu-shabu mutton without wine is really not that interesting. If you really just want to be full at a mutton-shabu restaurant, then the pot is really boiling, the meat is down, you are full, and it’s time to go.

It may take longer to eat than to order.

The sanitary conditions are different, mainly because of the fear of parasites)
