Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Xier took the order and left, and soon returned with meat ingredients.

When she opened the package, Jiang Xue was pleasantly surprised to find that there was not only pork, but also several pieces of tender beef.

"Xi'er, you did a great job!" Jiang Xue praised, "The beef looks very fresh."

Xier smiled proudly: "Miss, I know you want to make spicy hot pot, so I specially picked the most tender beef parts. The seller said that these beef are perfect for cooking."

Jiang Xue nodded with satisfaction and began to check the meat ingredients.

Jiang Xue first turned her attention to the pieces of tender beef.

She gently picked up a sharp knife and began the slicing process. She first placed the beef on the chopping board and gently pressed it with a paper towel to remove excess moisture to keep the meat tender.

Then she cut the beef into thin slices along the grain of the beef.

Her movements were quick and accurate, and in a short while, a piece of beef was cut into several slices as thin as cicada wings.

Then, Jiang Xue picked up the pork again.

She noticed that the pork was tender and suitable for cutting into thinner slices.

So she picked up the knife again and started the slicing process.

Unlike cutting beef, this time she paid more attention to controlling the strength and speed to ensure that each slice of pork was evenly thin and thick.

After all the meat ingredients were cut, Jiang Xue began to think about how to match them.

She decided to add some beef and pork slices to the spicy hot pot to enrich the taste.

Considering the tenderness and rich flavor of beef, she planned to put a few slices of beef in each bowl to enhance the delicious taste of the spicy hot pot.

Pork is tender and suitable to be paired with vegetables and other ingredients, so she plans to sprinkle the pork slices evenly on the malatang ingredients so that the tender texture of pork can be tasted in every bite.

Finally, Jiang Xue checked the preparation of other ingredients to make sure that all ingredients were ready and in sufficient quantity.

"These meat ingredients look very good." Jiang Xue said, "Xi'er, go prepare some vegetables and soy products, and we can start making spicy hot pot."

Xier responded and turned to prepare other ingredients.

Jiang Xue began to think about how to combine these meat ingredients more reasonably to ensure that the texture and taste of the spicy hot pot can reach the best state.

Soon, Xier came back with the prepared vegetables and soy products.

Jiang Xue and the chefs got busy and started making delicious spicy hot pot.

They first put various ingredients into the pot and cook them, then add the special soup base and seasonings to allow the ingredients to fully absorb the flavor of the soup base.

Soon after, pots of fragrant spicy hot pot were served on the table.

"Miss, are these spicy hotpots sold by the bowl?" Chen Yuxi was very curious.

"Malatang will be sold by weight, and the price will be calculated based on the type and quantity of ingredients selected," Jiang Xue told Jiang Xue and the chefs, "This will ensure fair trade while allowing customers to choose ingredients based on their tastes and preferences."

She then added: "Today we will first conduct a tasting, pairing some selected ingredients, letting guests taste the flavor and collect their feedback. In this way, we can adjust the combination of ingredients and flavors according to the preferences of the guests to ensure that the taste of Malatang can meet the needs of most people."

"At that time, we will let the guests choose their favorite ingredients, and then the kitchen will be responsible for cooking." Jiang Xue said to the chefs with a smile.

After hearing this, the chefs nodded to show their understanding and agreement.

They understand that this method not only allows guests to choose ingredients according to their own tastes and preferences, increasing the fun of dining, but also reduces their workload, because after the guests make their own selections, the kitchen only needs to be responsible for cooking the ingredients.

"Wait for me for a moment." Jiang Xue said, turned around and walked quickly out of the store.

There was a crowd of people outside, gathering at the door, their eyes fixed on the store, apparently waiting for the new spicy hot pot to be served.

The air is filled with the aroma of spicy hot pot, which is mouth-watering.

Seeing this, one of the diners couldn't help but laugh and shouted to Jiang Xue, "Ms. Jiang, is the spicy hot pot ready? I'm so hungry just by smelling it that even the oden in front of me has no taste."

Jiang Xue turned around and saw the eager and expectant eyes of the diners. She smiled and responded, "Okay, everyone, please wait a moment. Today, to thank everyone for their continued support, all customers who ordered oden before can get a free portion of spicy hot pot. There are 50 portions in total, first come first served."

The diners cheered when they heard this. They didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and they quickened their pace, wanting to enter the store as soon as possible to get the spicy hot pot.

Soon after, pots of fragrant spicy hot pot were served on the table.

These spicy hot pots are added with peppers carefully selected by Jiang Xue, which are ingredients that the guests have never seen or tasted before.

The pungent flavor of the chilies permeates the air, blending beautifully with the other spices of the mala, creating a unique, mouth-watering aroma.

The guests were attracted by the aroma and sat around the table, curiously observing the brightly colored and fragrant spicy hot pot.

Many of them have never seen a chili pepper, let alone tasted it.

However, they were attracted by this novel ingredient and wanted to try this new dish.

Jiang Xue introduced to the guests with a smile: "This is our new ingredient - chili pepper.

This pepper has a unique spicy flavor. We add it to the spicy hotpot, which not only adds to the taste but also makes the whole dish more appetizing.”

One of the diners couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pork from the spicy hot pot and put it in his mouth. Instantly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, followed by a slight frown, obviously because of the spiciness.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and shouted excitedly: "I like this taste! Is this the taste of chili? It's unforgettable!"

The diners around heard his shout and curiously tried the chili in the spicy hot pot.

Some of them frowned, some smiled, and some nodded. Everyone was conquered by the unique spicy taste, and said it was the most delicious thing they had ever tasted.

Jiang Xue looked at the satisfied expressions of the diners and felt a sense of accomplishment.

She knew that the decision to add chili peppers was the right one, as it not only made the spicy hot pot taste richer, but also satisfied diners' expectations for fresh ingredients.

Then more and more diners gathered around, some looked around curiously, while others simply picked up a piece of chili food with chopsticks and started to taste it.

"Wow, this tastes so special!" A diner exclaimed in surprise, with a surprised expression on his face, "It's a little spicy at first, but then it has a mellow fragrance, it's really good!"

"Yeah, this is my first time trying this flavor too, but I really like it!" another diner echoed.

As time went by, more and more diners began to try this spicy hotpot with chili peppers. They were surprised, curious, or excited, but in the end they were all conquered by the unique spicy taste.

"Ms. Jiang, your chili is really great! I will come here often in the future!" said a diner with a satisfied smile.

"Yes, the spicy taste is really unforgettable, and I have fallen in love with this taste!" another diner also exclaimed.

Jiang Xue looked at the satisfied expressions of the diners and felt a sense of accomplishment.
