My Hot Pot Restaurant in the Underworld is Officially Open for Business

When Meng Xiaoni just got up the next morning, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lao Lu were waiting downstairs holding a food box.

Meng Xiaoni went on to open the door for the two of them.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's mood could almost leap into the sky, and when she saw Meng Xiaoni happily, she said, "I ordered some seafood yesterday. Would you like seafood hot pot tonight?"

Lao Lu cooperated on the side and said, "After you have handled the delivery, you only need to put it in the pot."

"Spicy." Zhang Xiaoxiao said euphemistically, "Slightly spicy, slightly spicy."

Meng Xiaoni nodded her head and agreed.

Zhang Xiaoxiao, a young man with a very artistic sense of hair and beard, lost the rich, talented and literary personality for one bite, and completely collapsed into a second fool who was keen to eat.

The food box he brought contains many local breakfasts that Fengdu has heard of being famous, such as white puff pastry and plain oil cakes. Meng Xiaoni brought out a large jar of chili sauce, and a few of them took the chili sauce and settled the breakfast in the food box.

Soba is pure white. The rice is beaten into rice milk and fermented after adding sugar. Whether it is steamed or roasted, the aroma is extremely strong, just like a good steamed bun, the rice is fragrant and sweet when bitten.

When Meng Xiaoni passed through the food market when she was a child, she always felt that it was so fragrant, but now she feels that she loses the previous taste.

Zhang Xiaoxiao came over for a row of breakfast, and thought that the best was chili sauce, and secretly added a little more to her soak.

Lao Lu is a middle-aged person in Weibale Society, who is not collapsed, and continues to work after eating at will.

Dinner is going to have a big meal. Meng Xiaoni fried a small noodle for everyone at noon, signed for the seafood sent by Zhang Xiaoxiao, checked the recipe, and prepared to make spicy hot pot and milk tea ice powder.

Ice powder is extremely simple to make.

She first soaked a bowl of ice powder with ice powder, stirred it evenly, and put it in the freezer. Then she found some good tea leaves at home, soaked it in hot water of 70 to 80 degrees, then added milk and sugar, stirred well and let it stand at room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator.

Next, she will start to process the ingredients for the spicy hot pot.

Zhang Xiaoxiao sent someone abalone, her two thick-fingered sea cucumbers, and two tender fish that she didn't even recognize.

Meng Xiaoni cuts these cuts into pieces, cuts into pieces, puts them in the freezer, and puts them in the freezer to pickle and remove fishy.

Then she went out secretly and went to buy some small things.

These are simple to say, but for a kitchen novice, most of the steps are a bit slower than the old chef, so that Meng Xiaoni spent a lot of time tossing about the preparatory work of dinner.

Guifeng did not follow Meng Xiaoni today.

He was watching Zhang Xiaoxiao's painting of the underground palace.

Zhang Xiaoxiao painted the blue sky and yellow-greenish brown soil according to the keywords of "brightness", "reincarnation" and "difu" as required. He used a lot of similar paints to embellish it, and then he froze there.

At this moment, the young man was soaked in the dye that he accidentally wiped on, frowned, and hesitated to write.

Lao Lu looked at the draft on the side: "You originally wanted to paint Styx?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao responded: "Well, but I always feel that I should add some white or something. Then red... I'm considering whether to leave a place to paint some manjusawa. It's vulgar, I don't want to paint."

Lao Lu Yihui: "Your painting style is magnificent, and it is not appropriate to embellish manjusha."

When Zhang Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately decided to lose the piece of Manzhushahua.

Lao Lu suggested: "Can you draw some boats? Or a hundred ghosts into the underworld?"

Guifeng looked at the painting in front of him that only painted the sky and the earth: "When the underworld was first built, the mountain fire broke out, and the magma broke through the bottom layer and flowed out many channels. The magma flowed to the Styx, and the two met. Mutual reduction. Later the wildfire was quelled, the magma cooled and turned into a dark reef, and the Styx followed these roads and had new branches in the underworld."

Both Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lao Lu looked at Guifeng.

This is not something that an ordinary parrot can say, unless it is learned to imitate.

Guifeng raised his chin slightly: "I made it up. It's just that I prefer the natural landscape of volcanic eruptions."

Zhang Xiaoxiao remained silent, ran up to adjust the paint, and then started painting directly on the wall.

When inspiration comes, it can't be stopped.

Lao Lu stared at Guifeng and pondered: "Guifeng, do you want to consider learning art? A parrot who can paint sounds like a gimmick."

Guifeng didn't even think about it and refused: "When the hot pot restaurant reopens, I will become a human being and work in the hot pot restaurant."

Old Lu choked, and after a long time he admired him and said: "Good ambition."

The ambition of a parrot is to be a human being and then work in a hot pot restaurant.

Unparalleled in the world.

Awesome.

Guifeng glanced at Lao Lu, then turned away: stupid human beings.

A painting style that resembles a painting of a real netherworld was accidentally formed on the wall of Meng Xiaoni's hot pot restaurant.

The people present were completely ignorant.

The only ghost and phoenix who knows only misses tonight's spicy hot pot and milk tea ice powder.

At about five o'clock, Meng Xiaoni packed out a clean table and began to carry food to the table.

She hummed the bottom of the spicy hot pot and ordered the pot on the spot.

Then she put the processed seafood ingredients on the ice tray and served them one by one. Ice cubes can maintain the freshness of these seafood as much as possible and reduce the possibility of food spoilage on hot days.

Guifeng flew over Meng Xiaoni's head and ran around with her.

Zhang Xiaoxiao and Lao Lv Ma Liu occupied two positions, waiting for the hot pot to be opened.

Meng Xiaoni moved, and took out a tray with a porcelain jar and piles of small things on the tray.

Finally, Meng Xiaoni moved out a hot water bottle.

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the hot water bottle: "Is this with soup?"

Meng Xiaoni put the kettle on the table: "This is milk tea. Does the kettle keep warm."

Zhang Xiaoxiao has a question mark on her face. Does insulation keep high temperature or low temperature?

Lao Lu understood and gave Zhang Xiaoxiao a demonstration: "Milk tea ice powder! I know. I'll do it."

He opened the lid of the porcelain jar and threw in the stacks of small things on the side: "Pearls, taro balls, red beans, sago, coconut, barley, grain stars, chocolate rings, osmanthus syrup..."

After throwing these things, Lao Lu opened the kettle and charged the milk tea directly into the porcelain jar.

After pouring all the milk tea, Lao Lu took a spoon and kept stirring in it, and then scooped out a bowl for Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Take it with the hot pot to reduce the spiciness."

The spicy hot pot just opened.

The heat enveloped the aroma of chili and filled the room.

Guifeng jumped to the table: "Get off the hot pot."

Meng Xiaoni sat down, gave Guifeng some cooking ingredients, and then scooped a large bowl of milk tea ice powder for Guifeng.

Seeing that Meng Xiaoni was so appropriate, Lao Lu joked with a ghost and phoenix on the side: "You parrot has become a good one, do adults know what to do in the future?"

Guifeng tilted his head to look at Lao Lu.

Lao Lu used a very teasing tone: "Does Liao Zhai know? The foxes and ghosts in it must be promised to repay the favor."

Guifeng retracted his gaze: "I will work for her."

This is truly a promise.

Meng Xiaoni was pleased to touch Guifeng's head: "Good."

Guifeng turned his head and pecked Meng Xiaoni's hand, then pulled the bowl to the side and started eating.

Meng Xiaoni took out her chopsticks and started eating.

Seafood hot pot has a unique umami flavor of the sea than Maodu hot pot or beef hot pot. Unfortunately, Fengdu is still a bit far from the sea. The freshest seafood that has just been salvaged will hardly have a lot of smell if it is processed right away.

The quality of the seafood brought by Zhang Xiaoxiao is not bad.

The meat is fresh and tender.

Meng Xiaoni dared not use the colander when the fish was cooked in the hot pot, because once it was cooked, the chopsticks couldn't pick up the soft fish that melted in the mouth. Sea cucumbers are cooked for a period of time and bite into the mouth like chewy gummies.

Chew a mouthful of sea cucumber, the soup oozes a little into your mouth, with seafood and spicy flavor. After chewing two mouthfuls of sea cucumbers, the seafood taste becomes stronger, but the spicy taste fades slightly. After chewing three sea cucumbers, Meng Xiaoni felt that she was sublimated.

It's nice to have money.

Meng Xiaoni was very moved to clip herself an extra piece of sea cucumber. She really has never eaten such a big sea cucumber in a spicy hot pot.

While moved, she also gave Guifeng an extra piece: Guifeng will still work for her in the future. This is all consciously will tell others.

Phoenix doesn't mean to say nothing, right?

Guifeng ate two mouthfuls of seafood and then pecked two mouthfuls of ice powder. The spiciness in his mouth rose and disappeared, and it rose and disappeared. Once the taste in the mouth fades a bit, when you eat hot pot, you will always be surprised that hot pot is still delicious.

The taste is not numb at all.

Not to mention that the hot pot is hot, and the ice powder is ice, which makes it refreshing when it is hot and cold.

This time, the three of them had a bird hot pot and Mengfu and Mengmu came back.

It was a bit late when Meng's father and Mengmu returned home.

Before they arrived, the two called Meng Xiaoni.

Meng Xiaoni made a special trip to pick up the two people at the door of the store, took them inside, and introduced Zhang Xiaoxiao who was eating together.

Zhang Xiaoxiao greeted him politely, and asked the two elders if they would like to eat together.

Meng's father, Meng's mother, had eaten, so he waved his hands and declined, and then went upstairs to clean up and rest early.

The two went out to play for three days and two nights. They looked very energetic, and they had the energy that retired people should have.

Lao Lu's house called to remind people, and he planned to leave after hanging up.

Of course Zhang Xiaoxiao has to leave.

Meng Xiaoni sent the two away and returned to her store to clean up the mess of dinner.

Guifeng ate and drank enough, and walked patiently on the table, walking from this end to the other, and then from the other to this end.

Mother Meng put her luggage and walked downstairs to see Meng Xiaoni busy.

She came over to help, and asked Meng Xiaoni in a pointed way: "Xiao Nizi, is this Zhang Xiaoxiao still a student?"

Meng Xiaoni nodded: "Yeah."

Mengmu's next sentence continues to have meaning: "Is that age younger than you?"

Meng Xiaoni later realized that there was something wrong with this topic, and she looked at Mengmu slightly blankly: "Ah? Yes."

Mother Meng was a little serious this time: "Then falling in love doesn't seem very good. Of course you like the most important thing."

Meng Xiaoni: "?"

While helping to clean up, Meng's mother taught her: "When looking for someone, you must find someone who can take care of each other. Unilateral care is not enough."

The more you speak, the more outrageous.

Guifeng couldn't listen anymore: "What kind of love is going on at a young age."

Mother Meng was amused by the ghost and phoenix: "Little Nizi is in her twenties, what do you know, a little parrot?"

Guifeng heard this: "My age is in ten thousand."

Mother Meng laughed: "Then you little parrot is quite old."

Meng Xiaoni chuckles when she sees Guifeng suddenly stiff.
