Chapter 159 Delicious Hot Pot Sells Well

They realized something was wrong when they ordered. Why did the menu ask them to order the base of the soup first and then choose the level of spiciness?

There were also fresh-cut lamb, fresh-cut chicken legs, pork, shrimp, small liver, crispy pork, duck blood, duck intestines, fish balls, spicy pork slices, old tofu, potato slices, yam slices, spinach, lettuce, etc. Do you really have to order so much?

Especially after that, when the so-called hot pot and various dishes they ordered were served, the diners couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Why are all these vegetables raw? And what are those red pieces in the pot?"

"Yes, yes, these vegetables and meat are all raw, right? How are we supposed to eat them?"

"That's right, don't try to fool us, I just looked at the menu, every dish here is not cheap, and this is what they serve?"

"Who said it wasn't? We're here to eat, not to buy food!"

"Yes, yes, yes. And what on earth is that soup base? Why is it so expensive, and every table must order it!"

"Dear guests, please be patient, be patient."

At this time, the waiter who has been trained in advance will be able to respond and explain aloud freely:

"In reply to the guests, this is our secret spicy hot pot, which is made with the finest spices and a unique secret recipe. It is priceless and unique in the entire catering market.

Moreover, this spicy hot pot base, after adding our store's secret bone soup tea, boil it, then put in the current ingredients and blanch them, then dip them in our shop's condiments and you can eat it."

The waiter pointed to the condiment table not far away and said, "There are sesame paste, chili sauce, minced garlic, chopped green onions, coriander, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and all kinds of small condiments. As long as you don't waste them, you can mix a sauce you like according to your own taste.

Or you can also follow the classic condiment recipes written on the wooden sign on the condiment table to make your own combinations.”

The waiters at each table explained to the diners how to eat hotpot, which immediately aroused the diners' interest in this novel way of eating.

Especially when the spicy hot pot base is added with bone soup and tea, and boiled under charcoal fire, the spicy and fresh flavor unique to hot pot not only rushes straight to people's noses, but also spreads for miles, making people drool.

Then, as if they were receiving instructions, they picked up their chopsticks involuntarily to blanch the various ingredients, and then dipped them in the condiments they prepared. After taking a bite, how can you describe the taste? It is so delicious that it is indescribable, fresh and spicy, and it is simply irresistible.

"Oh my god, this... this hot pot tastes so good, and all the ingredients boiled in it are delicious!"

"Yes, yes, especially this shrimp paste. I don't know how it's made, but the taste after boiling is so chewy, springy and delicious. I've already eaten two servings!"

"Hey, what's that? I've already eaten three plates of this fresh-cut lamb. It's so tender and fresh! It tastes amazing!"

"Who says it's not true? This boiled mutton doesn't have any fishy smell. After dipping it in sesame sauce, it's an ultimate enjoyment!"

"Yes, yes, yes. There are also potato chips and tofu. After being boiled, especially the potato chips, they are soft and sticky. They taste delicious!"

For a while, the taste of the hot pot was extremely popular.

What Leng Yan finds particularly regrettable is that beef in this era cannot be slaughtered and sold casually.

Otherwise, she uses butter to make hot pot base, and then adds freshly cut beef from various parts, spicy beef, beef balls, beef bone marrow, etc. The taste is simply amazing.

Now she can only settle for the second best and use lard, vegetable oil or the like instead, but fortunately, the taste of the hot pot is as good as ever, and it instantly attracted a large number of diners to come in and eat.

Especially today is the same day that Zuixianlou, diagonally opposite, holds its annual cooking competition.

Leng Yan carefully selected the day for the opening of Leng Ji Fresh Lao in order to compete with Zuixianlou.

It is well known that there are few dishes whose aroma can cover the taste of hot pot.

At this time, in front of Zuixianlou, the stoves built for the cooking competition were busy, and there were many people watching the fun around them.

But at this moment, they all, without exception, smelled a domineering fragrance wafting in the wind.

The fragrance is so aggressive and attractive that one can't help but want to explore its source.

It happened that at this time, some people were eating hotpot at Leng Ji Xian Lao restaurant one after another with satisfaction. After paying the bill at the counter, they were guided to the table built by the door to draw a blind box.

Before the lottery, a gong is struck, and the sound of the gong instantly attracts the attention of many people.

"What is this blind box lottery? How come I've never heard of it?"

Someone in the crowd expressed confusion.

"Hey, you guys probably don't know this, but I heard that there's a restaurant called Xianju Pavilion in Beicheng County that has this kind of blind box draw activity."

"Yes, yes, I know that too. I heard that the ceramic ornaments in the blind box are so exquisitely made and so unique that you can't put them down. Many people are willing to pay a high price to buy them just to collect a certain combination!"

"Yes, yes, but I don't know what is in this blind box of Lengji Fresh Fish?"

As everyone was expecting and curious, Leng Yan asked Yu Min and others to pull a cart onto the stage.

There were twelve exquisite ceramic ornaments on the wooden box placed on the cart.

The twelve pieces correspond to the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, and Leng Yan drew cartoon pictures of the twelve zodiac animals. He then asked Mr. Tao’s porcelain shop to specially process the molding, glazing, etc. to fire them into a unique set of twelve zodiac ornaments.

When the crowd saw it, they were instantly attracted by the exquisite twelve zodiac animals.

"Wow, that tiger figurine looks so majestic and cute!"

"Yes, yes, yes. And that bunny figurine is so pretty and cute. I want it so badly!"

The exquisite object attracted most of the crowd's attention, and everyone started discussing it. Even the children passing by were pulling at their mothers' clothes.

"Mom, I want that monkey zodiac sign!"

Seeing that there was a lot of discussion, Leng Yan spoke up:

"Everyone, this is our Lengji's exclusive blind box. Every table of diners at our Lengji Fresh Fish Restaurant who spends at least one or two silver coins will have a chance to draw a blind box."

The blind box of the twelve zodiac ornaments is random, and which one you draw is random.

It is worth noting that if you can collect all the twelve zodiac blind boxes, you can also get one free draw of hidden twelve zodiac blind boxes in other colors.

If you collect all the hidden 12 Chinese Zodiac blind boxes, you will not only have another chance to draw a blind box, but you can also bring your family and friends to have a free meal at Lengji Fresh. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar, and some people were eager to try.

"I'll go first."

At this time, a young man came forward. He had just spent more than one or two taels of silver when he paid the bill, so he came to the blind box area first.

Then he picked out a box from a row of wooden boxes on the shelf and opened it impatiently.

"Wow, what is that!"

Seeing this, the onlookers all came forward curiously.
