Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Not long after, the staff came back with a large bag of stuff.

Zhao Zhuo opened the bag and checked it, and found that nothing was missing, so he calmly placed all the required raw materials on the table in order for later use.

After everything was ready, Zhao Zhuo first put a lot of aniseed ingredients such as Angelica dahuricae, nutmeg, fragrant leaves and so on in a bowl according to the proportions, and then heated the butter in a pot.

When the oil is almost hot, add all the aniseed ingredients and stir-fry slowly until fragrant.

When the bay leaves turn slightly brown, add the onions, onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings chopped in advance, and continue to stir-fry.

When the onions and scallions were fried and shriveled, Zhao Zhuo used a strainer to scoop out all the residue, and then added red bean paste, soybean paste, and salted chicken essence to the remaining clean oil.

Waiting for condiments.

At this time, the pungent and fragrant smell in the pot gradually came out.

After stir-frying for a while, the aroma has spread to the outside.

At this time, Zhao Zhuo turned off the fire, then looked at Zhang Yun and asked:

"Smell this smell, does it feel right to you?"

The reason why Zhao Zhuo was so confident was mainly because the smell was the same as that of Shancheng hot pot decades later. Only then could Zhao Zhuo truly feel relieved.

Zhang Yun was stunned after watching Zhao Zhuo's entire operation.

It was only then that Zhang Yun truly believed that there were really people in the world who could do something well just by relying on their talent.

For example, Zhao Zhuo stir-fries hot pot base!

After Zhang Yun was slightly stunned due to shock, she finally reacted and continued:

"Although I have never eaten Shancheng hot pot, I can't go wrong with the smell.

Even though it tastes different from the Yamashiro hot pot, this one will definitely not be inferior to the authentic Yamashiro hot pot."

This statement can be said to be a very high evaluation.

It can be seen that Zhang Yun has been convinced just by the taste.

But in the end, if you don’t try something like hot pot, it’s all in vain.

Zhao Zhuo set up a hot pot, poured the hot pot base into it, and took another plate of beef.

"Those special ingredients are not ready yet, but this authentic Shancheng hot pot is used to stir-fry beef, and it is an absolutely incomprehensible way to eat it."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo handed Zhang Yun a pair of chopsticks, then smiled and motioned for Zhang Yun to have a taste.

Zhang Yun was already drooling when she smelled the smell. Now she couldn't wait any longer. She took Zhao Zhuo's chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up the beef and put it into the pot.

When it was cooked, I didn't care about how hot it was, just blew it on and ate it.

After swallowing, Zhang Yun immediately smiled with satisfaction, and then gave a thumbs up to Zhao Zhuo:

"Great, this is really great! The taste and spiciness are just right.

It can be said that for a person like me who loves spicy food, this is really the best hot pot I have ever tasted, bar none!"

The emergence of Shancheng Hot Pot directly changed Zhang Yun's view of Beijing Shabu Shabu Steak as the number one restaurant, and pushed Shancheng Hot Pot to the number one position.

This sorting method also shows how much Zhang Yun loves spicy food.

And people like Zhang Yun are really Zhao Zhuo's biggest target group for this mountain hotpot restaurant.

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said:

"Does this taste delicious? That's it. If we add dipping sauce, will you cry from the deliciousness?"

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Zhang Yun suddenly showed a strange expression:

"Why, isn't it possible to eat Yamashiro hotpot without dipping it in sesame sauce?"

Zhao Zhuo shook his head:

"When eating Shancheng hot pot, of course you need to have an oil plate and a dry plate."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo picked up the bowl and said:

"Wait, I'll make you the most authentic dipping sauce for you to try."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo came to the snack table: chopped green onion, coriander, minced garlic, oil, spicy millet, sesame oil, sesame oil...

After mixing one bowl, Zhao Zhuo mixed another dry dish: chili powder, cumin powder...

After a while, Zhao Zhuo came back with two full bowls.

"Come on, let's try it."

Just looking at these two dipping ingredients, Zhang Yun already felt that her eyes were opened.

Zhang Yun couldn't help but sigh:

"I really didn't expect that eating hot pot is much more than just cooking meat and vegetables. There is so much knowledge in it."

While talking, Zhang Yun couldn't wait to taste these two dipping sauces. Needless to say, the results were full of praise.

Hearing this and looking at Zhang Yun eating happily, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"Hey, hot pot seems simple, but it is indeed a living fossil that has evolved over thousands of years in our food culture. If it is just simply cooked, it cannot be called a living fossil.

It is precisely because there have been so many different types of hot pot in the process of evolution that we are now able to bring it together and become a culture."

After hearing what Zhao Zhuo said, Zhang Yun nodded sincerely:

"Yes, I declare that after eating these two kinds of hot pot, I have completely fallen in love with hot pot.

From now on, as long as it is a hot pot restaurant business, I will fully support you unconditionally no matter what you do!

Whether we make money or not, at least we can eat any type of hot pot, and it doesn’t matter even if we don’t make money!”

Zhang Yun, a person who takes his work so seriously, can actually say that it doesn't matter if he doesn't make money. This shows how much the hot pot these two days has had on Zhang Yun's psychology.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said:

"Okay, every time we open a different type of hot pot restaurant from now on, you will be the first person to try it.

Only after you nod can the store be officially opened."

This was a joke. Zhang Yun naturally knew that Zhao Zhuo just wanted to make herself happy, so she smiled happily.

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo said:

"Now that our decision has been fully approved, let's quickly prepare for the new Shancheng hotpot restaurant.

Zhang Yun, please hurry up and complete all aspects of the decoration and facility installation of the new store. I will contact you about the ingredients."

Zhang Yun nodded:

"I will finish the store affairs as soon as possible.

On the other hand, if you can't come up with enough variety in the ingredients, forget it, the beef tripe alone is already very attractive."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo shook his head lightly:

"That's not possible. When doing business, we must strive for excellence. Since we have decided to open a Shancheng hotpot restaurant, we must restore the authentic taste and ingredients as much as possible, otherwise we might as well not do it."

Regarding Zhao Zhuo's attitude, Zhang Yun couldn't help but nodded heavily.
