Siheyuan: starting from security

"Chief, if that doesn't work, let's have hot pot. Even if you don't know how to cook hot pot, you can still eat it after cooking."

Yang Chen made a suggestion from the side.

It's not that he is pretentious and insists on eating. It doesn't matter whether he eats a meal or not. The main reason is that Yang Chen remembers that the big boss likes Silly Zhu. What he likes is that he dares to speak out and is silly and bold.

Generally speaking, it is because he is too cold at a high place and people around him don't dare to go against his words, that's why Silly Zhu is so popular in TV dramas.

In this case, Yang Chen naturally cannot be submissive. If he is more confident and communicates on an equal footing, perhaps the big boss would like it more.

"Hot pot? After eating that, isn't it bad for the stomach? Isn't it not healthy?"

The big leader heard Yang Chen's words and said hesitantly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, eating hot pot is regarded as a very luxurious meal, so why should they care about health?

But the big leader is different. He really doesn't lack food. After all, if the big leader can't afford to eat, how can he still work?

So he has never eaten hot pot. He once wanted to eat hot pot, but the nurse around him told him that he had a bad gastrointestinal condition and could not eat hot pot.

"It's okay to eat this occasionally." Yang Chen said with a smile:

"As long as the dishes and ingredients are clean, it doesn't really matter. It's almost the same as Sichuan food. Some people feel upset after eating it, so they probably can't eat spicy food in the first place.

And if you really can’t eat spicy food, just boil it in plain water and dip it in non-spicy ingredients, and it will still taste good.”

Hearing Yang Chen talk about eating hot pot, the leader's wife's eyes lit up and she also echoed:

"Yes, Lao Li, I have eaten hot pot before. It tastes really delicious. Let's cook it with plain water as Xiao Yang said. Those who can eat spicy food will have the hot sauce, and those who can't eat it will have the hot sauce.

Something else.”

Yang Chen looked at the leader's wife and couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, no matter what age, most women like to eat hot pot.

The female friends he knew in his previous life basically asked him out for hot pot every now and then, no matter whether they were rich or poor.

In this life, Qin Jingru also liked to eat hot pot, and the leader's wife also liked to eat hot pot. Although Yang Chen did not eat the rest together, they must be no exception.

"Okay, let's have hot pot then." Seeing that his wife had said this, the senior leader did not hesitate and said directly:

"Just put the spiciness in it, I like spicy food, Xiao Yang, please excuse me."

Just after he finished speaking, he noticed that there were other people next to him, so he quickly stopped Yang Chen who was about to make hot pot, and asked the other people:

"Can you eat spicy food? If you can't eat spicy food, let's boil it in boiling water and then make two ingredients to dip it in."

"I don't like spicy food. I have to have spicy food every morning. My wife tells me about it many times at home."

"Yes, me too. The spicy ones taste better, but the non-spicy ones are really unsatisfactory. Just make them. It just happens to cool down and warm up the body in the past two days."

"Is hot pot still hot pot if it's not spicy? It must be more spicy so that you can enjoy it."

"..."

Regardless of whether people can really eat spicy food or pretend to be able to eat spicy food, they are all expressing that they like spicy food.

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder the big boss likes honest people.

For someone with the rank of a big leader, you can tell at a glance whether they are telling the truth or lying. Meeting a different person in such an environment every day is indeed a valuable experience.

"Okay, if you can tolerate spicy food, then Xiao Yang, please make more spicy food. Let's have a good meal today."

The big leader saw what they said, so he said to Yang Chen.

"Okay, then I'll do it." Yang Chen nodded and smiled.

Then he didn't hesitate and walked directly to the kitchen.

After arriving in the kitchen, I looked at the various dishes, and all the vegetables that a normal hot pot should have.

There is meat, but because I didn't say I wanted to eat hot pot before, it's all in pieces. Although Yang Chen can make mutton rolls or something like that in the secret realm, it will attract attention.

So Yang Chen thought about it, cut the mutton into pieces, put it into the pot, added water and started to boil it.

I also cut all kinds of green vegetables into plates, and then started to make seasonings.

Although his cooking is mediocre, he often eats hot pot, and he makes it very quickly, and the seasonings are ready in a short time.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Chen did not return to the living room, but sat next to the stove, waiting for the mutton to be cooked.

After an hour of waiting, the mutton was almost cooked, and Yang Chen put in all the vegetables.

Although this reduces the joy of making hot pot, there is no induction cooker now, so we can't just let everyone carry stools and run to the kitchen to eat like we do at home. We can only cook it in the pot and take it out to eat.

The vegetables cooked quickly and were almost done within a few minutes. Seeing this, Yang Chen picked up a large basin, put all the vegetables in the pot into it, made some soup, and then walked back to the living room with it.

What I have to mention is that this vegetable basin is really big. It can hold twenty or thirty kilograms of vegetables. Yang Chen even doubts that it can be used as a bath basin.

"Is it done?" The senior leader saw Yang Chen coming over with the dishes and said with a smile. Then he smelled the smell of hot pot and couldn't help but nodded:

"The taste is quite fragrant. I wonder how it tastes?"

"You'll know after you try it. This is my specialty."

Yang Chen made a joke and put the dishes on the table with a smile.

"Yeah." The big leader nodded, then took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and then said:

"Everyone, you're welcome. Let's eat. Everyone must be hungry. Let's eat something first to fill our stomachs."

After hearing the big leader's words, everyone nodded, but even though they nodded, no one took the lead in picking up the food.

Obviously everyone wants to let the big leader use his chopsticks first.

"Well, it tastes really good. Xiao Yang, I didn't realize it. You're good at it." The big leader picked up a piece of mutton, swallowed it in one gulp, then nodded with satisfaction and praised.

Seeing that the big leader had already eaten, everyone started eating too.

When Yang Chen heard the big leader's praise, he smiled and explained:

"Chief, I really don't know how to cook. Anyone can cook this hot pot the same. As long as the spiciness is right, the rest is just waiting for the water to boil."

Although he said this, Yang Chen also knew that the hot pot he made did taste good. He had eaten it at the current hot pot restaurant in Tianjing before, but compared to the one he made, it was still a bit inferior.

Of course, this is also because I like to eat hot pot in later generations, and I have obtained many secret recipes for hot pot in later generations. Compared with now, it is indeed better.

After all, how many people are willing to study now? It belongs to the country and not their own. It is useless to study and sell it, as long as it can be eaten.

"It's really good. I've also eaten at a hot pot restaurant. There's a huge difference between theirs and yours."

At this time, Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau also praised him after eating a piece of meat.

"There, there." Yang Chen said modestly.

It’s not that he is hypocritical, the main reason is that Chinese people have always liked the golden mean.

Especially the older generation, they all like low-key young people. In this case, Yang Chen must be moderate, after all, the people he faces are different.

Speaking of which, Yang Chen remembered that it was similar in later generations. Ordinary people must be low-key. An ordinary and confident man has become a derogatory term, commonly known as a common man.

This means that you are an ordinary person and you must have low self-esteem, otherwise you will be an ordinary man and be cursed and bullied by everyone on the Internet.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, he traveled through time and had a chance to change his destiny.

Otherwise, if you are ordinary and confident, you can be judged. If you are so confident, wouldn't you be sentenced to death?
