Chapter 791 Let’s Have a Bowl of Spicy Soup

Yang Ming's shop.

"Boss! Boss! It's not good!"

Bai strode into the kitchen, shouting loudly.

Yang Ming suddenly raised his head, stopped what he was doing, and asked, "What happened to make you such a fuss?"

Whoops! Whoops!

Bai panted heavily, took a short rest, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a hurry:

"Boss, something bad happened this time. The Yuanyue restaurant across the street saw us making breakfast, and they followed suit and made breakfast today!"

"Oh! That's it!" Yang Ming's tone was calm and his face was calm, as if he didn't take this matter seriously.

Seeing this, Bai suddenly became anxious, "Boss, why don't you look anxious at all?"

"Bai, don't worry, as long as I make delicious food, the guests will know what to choose."

Yang Ming waved his hand and smiled calmly.

Then, Yang Ming lowered his head and started preparing a new breakfast.

This dish, called spicy soup, once had a chance to be selected as one of the Manchu and Han banquets, but in the end it fell short.

Fortunately, the recipe given to Yang Ming by the system included the preparation method of this dish.

Hu spicy soup, which started in the Song Dynasty, has many schools in the Central Plains such as Xihua Xiaoyao Town, Luohe Beiwudu, Huaiyang Zhujia, Kaifeng Suhu spicy soup and so on. Some people like spicy food, some people like salty food, some people like thick food, some people like light food, and some people like it with chopped green onion. Fortunately, no matter what your preference is, you can find your favorite bowl in Zhongyuan.

In the world of spicy soup, there are three fixed elements: gluten, meat, soup, and side dishes. Gluten is the soul, soup is the foundation, and side dishes have different combinations according to different schools.

When people from different regions meet, hometown food is often a good topic of conversation.

Sichuan people always play home wherever they go. Fish-flavored shredded pork and twice-cooked pork are enough to set up a Longmen array for half an hour.

As long as beef and mutton are mentioned, friends from the northwest region will tell you that cattle and sheep that do not grow on the grassland are not worthy of sprinkling cumin.

Lanzhou people are very aggrieved and always tell everyone that there is no ramen in Lanzhou. It is called Lanzhou beef noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles. My friends nodded like they were enlightened and thought to themselves, "Who cares about this?"

People in Guangdong don’t want to talk about this topic, but they generally can’t avoid it. Do you eat civet? Eat pangolins? Eat rat meat? ...If you are forced to panic, people from Guangdong will tell you how to eat people from southern Fujian.

As a Central Plains person, I face another kind of embarrassment and loneliness during communication.

"What delicious food do you have there?"

"Hey! My spicy soup and braised noodles are delicious."

"What? I haven't heard of it. Let's talk about the boss of Evergrande."

"oh!"

Every place has special snacks. Some snacks are used to promote the scene and deceive tourists. Local people do not like to eat them. Some of them may not seem very popular, but to the locals, they are as important as a hot kang for the wife and children.

Hu spicy soup definitely belongs to the latter.

Hot and spicy soup is the essence of Central Plains cuisine. Those who win the Central Plains win the world, and for Central Plains people, hot and spicy soup means the world.

A morning without spicy spicy soup is not enough to talk about life. As one of the breakfast items, it is definitely a perfect choice.

The first characteristic of Hu spicy soup is spicy.

We are all accustomed to the fact that spicy food comes from chili peppers. In fact, chili peppers came to China only in the late Ming Dynasty. People in the past preferred the spicier taste of pepper.

Of course, as chili became more and more popular, pepper became obsolete. The Central Plains people are nostalgic and use a lot of pepper to make spicy soup. Therefore, Hu spicy soup is a rare delicacy that can perfectly interpret the spicy characteristics of pepper.

The second feature is the spice.

Many delicacies add some spices, such as star anise and cinnamon. Four or five kinds are enough. Hu spicy soup often uses twenty or thirty kinds of spices. Through clever mixing, it can have a unique fragrance.

Some people may ask, with pepper and so many spices, will it be too exciting?

Yes, you'll get used to it.

Then it's very thick.

In the process of making Hu spicy soup, Yang Ming used a large amount of wheat starch water to thicken the soup, making the soup extremely thick. This allows the spiciness and aroma to be more closely concentrated in the soup, making the soup rich and mellow.

Due to Yang Ming's technical skills, Hu spicy soup will not have the problem of being sticky or greasy.

In the end, it was very filling.

Although it is called soup, it actually contains a lot of food, at least four or five kinds. Commonly used ones include beef and mutton, gluten, fungus, vermicelli, day lily, kelp, peanuts, etc.

After drinking a bowl of spicy soup, I feel refreshed mentally and have something to eat in my stomach.

The hot and spicy soup uses big bones as the base soup, which highlights the aroma of pepper and has a slightly spicy aftertaste. The hot and spicy meat soup also adds some meat cubes the size of fingernails. If you accidentally eat a piece, you will immediately feel... This spicy spicy soup is great value for money.

These four characteristics form the spicy character of Zhongyuan Hu spicy soup. But because it is so unique, many people feel a little uncomfortable eating it for the first time.

But as you taste it slowly, you can feel the rich aroma, mellow taste, and spicy enthusiasm. Then I fell in love with spicy spicy soup and couldn't stop.

After the spicy soup is boiled, Yang Ming thickens it with a large amount of wheat starch water until it is extremely thick. Finally, add a few drops of sesame oil. The fragrance is so fragrant and rich that when you inhale it, every cell in your body seems to moan.

Bai stood aside and watched Yang Ming cooking. Smelling the fragrant aroma, his whole soul was about to float!

Bai turned his eyes and saw that the thick brown soup in the big pot was slowly pushed out by the heat from the bottom of the pot. Large and small bubbles burst and burst, releasing balls of hot water vapor mixed with a strong fragrance. It turns white quickly when exposed to cold and floats away.

The aroma of the spicy soup with various side dishes wafts out from inside, and the white mist is warm just by looking at it, which immediately increases your appetite!

Bai Greedy said: "Boss, can you bring me a bowl?"

Seeing Bai's greedy appearance, Yang Ming felt happy and scooped a full bowl for him.

Bai felt hungry a long time ago, so he picked up the spoon, blew on it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"This is……"

Bai's eyes widened, and he felt that the texture was smooth and the taste was hearty. Moreover, Yang Ming put a handful of dried shrimp skins in it, which made his tongue fall off!

tasty!

Bai couldn't help it and immediately buried himself in drinking soup. After eating a bowl, I felt a slight sweat on my head, and my whole body felt warm, with a peppery taste. After eating, I wiped my mouth and felt that today's day had really come, and I felt energetic.

Eat the hot and spicy soup as much as you can. The spicy taste instantly refreshes your mind and is the best way to warm up your body. After eating, I felt heartily and felt like my heart was on fire!
