Although iron pots conduct heat quickly, so it is indeed warm to sit there and eat shabu-shabu dishes, but casseroles also have a characteristic, that is, they can keep heat for a long time.

Once Dong Qian has these ideas in her mind, she will be full of action.

After sending the letter, she was already thinking about tomorrow.

The next day, Dong Qian and Qin Han appeared in a shop specializing in casseroles.

"What kind do you want to buy?"

Because it was a bit cold in the morning, the boss put his hands in his sleeves and asked shivering.

Dong Qian was very purposeful, "Boss, can you customize it here?"

The boss knew he was in for big business as soon as he heard this.

Soon Dong Qian told her boss about her request, because the casserole needs to be very insulated and must have a tray underneath, otherwise the tabletop will be burned by the casserole.

"What you're talking about happens to be available right now!"

The boss said, taking out a pile of casseroles of different shapes as Dong Qian described. They were indeed neither big nor small, exactly what she had in mind.

Not only is there a tray underneath, but there is also a lid on top of the casserole.

After all, these are pots for cooking, but Dong Qian uses these pots as her rice bowl.

"I have written down everything you said, but if you think this is good, I can bring it to you tomorrow." The boss looked very happy.

It's hard not to be happy when there's big business early in the morning.

Dong Qian nodded and responded: "Boss, if you are still here this afternoon, I will send someone over to talk to you. If it doesn't work, we will discuss it tomorrow."

He was not the only one selling casseroles in the entire city. After Dong Qian left, she also saw a lot of them.

But they almost looked the same, so she went back.

"Madam, why did you buy a casserole? You must be making porridge, but this casserole is not big."

Qin Han didn't understand. Dong Qian nodded and looked at him seriously, "It's okay if you don't know. You'll know after a while."

Then Dong Qian started tinkering in the kitchen and made a simple version of the base ingredients for the shabu-shabu dish. Then she put whatever ingredients she saw in the kitchen, but she still had to cook them according to their difficulty and maturity.

Soon the casserole was steaming. Dong Qian also added sesame paste to it, and a scent wafted throughout the restaurant.

Although Dong Qian could not help drooling, she did not eat it. Instead, she put it aside and closed the lid to see how long it would take for it to cool down.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the surroundings of the casserole became less hot, and the soup and things inside were still warm.

Qin Han couldn't wait any longer, so he and Dong Qian finished the pot of food in the kitchen.

During this period, many diners in the restaurant wanted to see what the kitchen was doing, but in the end they were stopped by the waiter.

It was also the first time that they felt that the owner of this restaurant was really difficult to take care of. Even if he ate alone, he still looked so good.

There were two cooks in the back kitchen, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled it.

But Dong Qian and the others had no intention of sharing it at all. It felt a little awkward for more than a dozen people to eat the same pot together.

After eating, Qin Han couldn't help but nod, "Madam, what's the name of this thing? It's still so delicious after being stored for so long!"

Dong Qian thought for a moment. Because the soup base was spicy and the casserole could always be kept warm, she simply named it casserole Malatang. Just hearing the name made her feel very warm.

"It would be so beautiful if I could have a bowl like this in winter." Qin Han couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, he also ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, but after being with Dong Qian, he felt that ordinary things were also very delicious. The main thing was how they were made.

Dong Qian nodded, but her eyes were a little wandering as she was thinking.

Even though this casserole has a good ability to retain heat, I still want to leave a unique mark on the pot.

Dong Qian then told her boss about her request, and he immediately said that it was no problem and that he would need some time to deal with it.

It just so happens that Dong Qian also needs some time, but judging from the reaction of those diners today, when the spicy casserole is served, it should receive a good response.

First of all, you can choose the dishes in the casserole Malatang by yourself. Dong Qian prepared nearly thirty kinds of vegetables, various kinds of meat, and some staple foods.

The most important thing is the soul of it, sesame paste.

Of course sesame oil is fragrant, so no matter what the sesame paste is put in, it will make the food more fragrant.

"Madam, do you think this is okay?" Qin Han set up a large stall outside the restaurant.

Because this place is very close to the pier, there is a large open space outside the door of Haohan Restaurant. The location of this stall is just right up to the set meal stall.

Dong Qian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked someone to create a frame specifically for placing the dishes. In order to facilitate the placement of the dishes later, the setting was relatively wide. If there are more later, they can be added directly on top.

The carpenter he was looking for was still the same carpenter who built the stall last time. He was very kind-hearted and was very happy to see that the set meal went so well. He didn't know what Dong Qian was planning to do this time.

Dong Qian did not tell him directly, "Come and patronize my business and you will know."

The carpenter was also amused by Dong Qian's clever look. This set meal was indeed affordable and he had eaten it several times.

But after that, Dong Qian almost always took one look and left, leaving it to the people below to do the work.

Dong Qian didn't set a very high price for the casserole Malatang, because it was weighed by the pound, so a bowl wasn't very expensive, at most it cost more than [-] cents. This was the top-end version.

But most people can eat enough for just ten pennies, and Dong Qian specially tested it.

It didn't take long for Dong Qian's custom-made casseroles to be delivered. They had the words "Haohan Restaurant" on them. Dong Qian liked them very much.

On the day when the casserole Malatang officially started to be sold, a lot of people came. Because it was opened in front of the restaurant, the restaurant's business decreased a bit, but the front door was overcrowded.

There were not only the previous diners, but also some workers serving the set meals. Because there was a long queue, many people were curious and stopped to watch.

Dong Qian asked all the waiters who had nothing to do to come out to help. The casserole Malatang is not actually cooked in a casserole.

The casserole actually only plays a role of heat preservation. If you use a casserole, the heating speed will be very slow.

In fact, the casserole has been placed on a hot fire. After the ingredients ordered by the customer are cooked in a normal pot, they are then put into the casserole along with the soup.

The taste is the same when cooked in a casserole or a normal iron pot, so the guests don't know.

The main feature of the casserole Malatang is that it is delicious, cheap and fast. Eating it on a cold day can warm you up, but eating it on a hot day will make you sweat.

However, Dong Qian plans to launch other flavors of pot base in the future. After all, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables, and it would be better to have more flavors for people to choose from.

Moreover, Dong Qian did this because she was testing the waters for shabu-shabu dishes, because she didn't know the preferences of people in Fucheng, so she had to find out clearly.
