My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 143

And the hot pot that Lin Xiu is going to cook today is exactly this kind of free-style hot pot.

"Little Wukong, Batian, you two wait a moment and pick out what you like to eat. Let's eat hot pot today!"

This time, Lin Xiu didn't think about it himself, and let Xiao Wukong and Xiong Batian choose by themselves.

After all, it is not against the rules to put anything in the hot pot.

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, both Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong became happy.

They have been busy all morning, and now they are too hungry!

A bear and a monkey joined hands and rushed into the grain snow storage area prepared by Lin Xiu.

Soon, the two of them picked out a lot of meat, mushrooms, fish and shrimp.

Lin Xiu himself also took a lot.

"You two wash and cut these dishes, and then you can wait to eat!"

Lin Xiu first put some rice to cook, and then sent Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong to wash the vegetables.

Both of them are full of delicious food, so naturally they have no objection.

"Haha, the anchor is too bad, I don't do anything by myself!"

"If you want to say that the anchor is smart, he knows that the most troublesome part of eating hot pot is washing the vegetables!"

"That's right, if the anchor is just a white water pot, everything will be done by Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong!"

Seeing that Lin Xiu handed over the most tedious washing of vegetables to Xiao Wukong and Xiong Batian, all the water friends laughed.

"Who said I have nothing to do? To eat a delicious hot pot meal, a delicious pot bottom and dipping water are essential. To make these two things, I have to spend a lot of thought!"

Lin Xiu said with an innocent face.

Although it is true that washing vegetables is the most cumbersome part of eating hot pot, it does not mean that making the bottom of the pot and dipping in water is easy.

These two things are the essence of hot pot, especially dipping water.

There are even white water hot pots that do not put any ingredients in the hot pot. One can imagine how free the bottom of the pot is?
But dipping in water is absolutely indispensable!
If the taste of the dipped water is slightly worse, it will affect the taste of the whole hot pot.

So it takes energy to make a perfect bowl of hot pot dipping water.

"I like to use chili millet and minced garlic with soy sauce for dipping. Although it is simple, the taste is absolutely superb!"

"I prefer sesame sauce, a little crushed peanuts are even better!"

"Doesn't anyone like to use vinegar exclusively for their dips!"

"Brother Shanxi 6!"

When it comes to dipping water and the bottom of the pot, many water lovers drool.

Hot pot can become a first-class popular food, and its appeal is huge.

So when it comes to these things, everyone has their own opinions.

Lin Xiu didn't reply to the barrage, he took out the wild ginger and garlic left before.

First cut these and put them in a bowl, Lin Xiu brought the salt again.

"The dip made by the anchor looks a bit ordinary!"

"There is no chili and soy sauce, and there is no mature vinegar, of course it is ordinary!"

"Now I finally found a place where I live better than the anchor, at least I can eat chili!"

Seeing how difficult Lin Xiu's dipping was, the water friends all mourned for him.

Although these wild ginger and wild garlic are full of flavor, but with such a simple production process, the taste will not be very good.

When Lin Xiu saw these bullet screens, he just smiled slightly.

"Although we haven't found chili pepper yet, I have already found dogwood that can barely replace chili pepper. This thing can also be used as chili pepper!"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he took out a handful of red fruits.

These red fruits look somewhat like goji berries.

"This is Cornus officinalis, also called Yuejiao. It was a condiment used to replace chili in ancient times before chili was introduced to China!"

Lin Xiu showed the dogwood in his hand to the live broadcast room, Ke Pu said.

This island does not contain most of the ingredients that Lin Xiu needs.

Ingredients such as peppers are not widely grown here.

As a modern youth who is used to eating spicy food, how could Lin Xiu endure the days when it was not spicy at all?

Fortunately, he finally found dogwood that can be used as a substitute for chili.

This stuff isn't as spicy as the chili, but it's not far off.

Perfect for seasoning.

"The anchor's knowledge reserves are really awesome, even this one knows!"

"The thing about cornel, I only remember one sentence, one less person is planted with cornel!"

"People nowadays generally don't know what this thing looks like!"

Seeing that Lin Xiu casually grabbed a handful of ingredients to replace chili, the water friends were all amazed.

Indeed, as they said, there are not many people who know this thing these days.

Lin Xiu was able to recognize this thing while surviving on a deserted island. It can only be said that his knowledge reserves are too terrifying.

Lin Xiu smashed the dogwood in his hand and put it in a bowl.

After finishing these, Lin Xiu took another spoonful of MSG broth and put them into the bowls.

At this point, a big bowl of delicious dipping water is complete.

"It's a pity that the soy sauce and vinegar are not finished yet!"

Lin Xiu tasted the bowl of dipping water, and it tasted very good, but after all, something was missing.

Lin Xiu sighed, and planned to finish the soy sauce and vinegar in a few days.

These two things are not too difficult to make, especially soy sauce, as long as there are soybeans.

After dipping in the water, Lin Xiu brought down the cooked rice, and then hung the iron pot used to eat hot pot on the stove.

Lin Xiu put some coal in it, otherwise the fire would have been extinguished long ago.

Moreover, if firewood is used exclusively for burning, if the ventilation in the house is not good, all the smoke will be piled up in the room, making it difficult to disperse.

After hanging up the iron pot, Lin Xiu took out a few pieces of lard, sautéed it in the pot, and then mixed it with a little broth, and immediately the strong deliciousness came over his face.

After washing the dishes, Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong walked over, staring straight at Lin Xiu's hot pot.

"Why are you standing still, bring the dishes and bowls and chopsticks, dinner is ready!"

After Lin Xiu added a little water, he said to Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong who were stunned.

The two of them moved extremely nimbly, and hurriedly brought the dishes over, and then prepared the bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Xiu put the dipping water into their bowls.

"After the water boils, you can put the meat and vegetables in it, and then you can pick it up when it's cooked, and you can eat it directly after dipping it in your dipping water!"

Lin Xiu knew that it was the first time for the two of them to eat hot pot, and they must not understand the process, so he first explained it to them in animal language.

Although Xiong Batian and Xiao Wukong were a little confused about why they used this way of eating, they still nodded.

Because they know very well that as long as it is made by Lin Xiu, it is absolutely delicious!
Soon, the soup in the iron pot began to churn.

Lin Xiu immediately picked up a piece of meat and put it down. He put his chopsticks in it for a few seconds, and when the meat changed color, he picked it up directly.
