The soup of hot pot is made from pork bones, and contains many seasonings, such as ginger, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns, as well as nutmeg, cumin and other spices bought from the Hu people in Qingcheng County, a bunch of strong spices.

Put it in and make an oil dish with minced coriander, minced garlic and sesame oil.

Coriander already existed in this era, but it has a different name, called "coriander". Legend has it that it was a species brought back by Zhang Qian during his mission to the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty. It was widely planted in the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that there are no chili peppers. Today's chili peppers are still growing in the fields of South America. We lack a chosen one to conquer South America and bring back the chili pepper seeds.

Hot pot without chili is soulless, but Gu Qing has no choice.

Facing the curious looks of Zhang Huaiyu and Li Bai, Gu Qing suddenly felt a sense of superiority. He knew clearly that in the field of hot pot, Zhang Huaiyu and Li Bai were just two rubes, and all Gu Qing's comments in this field were absolute authority.

"How to eat this? Can it be eaten after it is cooked?" Li Bai pointed at the boiling soup at the bottom of the pot.

Zhang Huaiyu said disdainfully: "Boiled meat has been around for a long time, and it's very mysterious."

"You two bumpkins... Well, you two brothers are watching, I will show you once."

As he spoke, Gu Qing put the mutton and fish fillets sliced ​​as thin as paper into the pot and rinsed them with chopsticks. They were cooked quickly. He took them out and put them in an oil dish and dipped them in minced coriander and garlic. Take a bite

When I put it into my mouth, I made a satisfied humming sound with an expression of great enjoyment.

The mutton and fish fillets were cut by Zhang Huaiyu in the afternoon. Gu Qing's knife skills need to be improved, but Zhang Huaiyu cuts the meat very professionally. With one cut, a piece of meat is as thin as paper. People can't help but wonder what she did when she was walking around the world.

He had worked part-time as a butcher,...or had done countless frenzied murders and dismemberment cases, otherwise he wouldn't be so professional.

The meat slices were cooked as soon as they were dipped in the oil. Gu Qing ate several bites while Li Bai and Zhang Huaiyu swallowed their saliva next to them. They immediately followed Gu Qing's example and put the meat slices into the hot pot for a few breaths.

After that, he immediately picked it up and dipped it into the oil dish. After taking a sip, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good! It tastes great! Taibai has never tasted such delicious food in his life." Li Bai praised.

Zhang Huaiyu was too lazy to talk, and was rinsing the meat piece by piece. After rinsing it, he hurriedly dipped the dish in oil and stuffed it into his mouth.

There were fewer and fewer pieces of meat on the plate. Li Bai became anxious and stretched out his chopsticks to grab the meat. Zhang Huaiyu was particularly protective of the food. When he saw Li Bai reaching over with his chopsticks, he immediately became unhappy and struck hard with his chopsticks. Li Bai's chopsticks were knocked sideways.

He was not happy anymore. When he struck again, the chopsticks had turned into sword moves. The tip of the chopsticks was pointed directly at the tiger's mouth point where Zhang Huaiyu held the chopsticks. Zhang Huaiyu had to fight back to save himself. At the same time, not to be outdone, he struck out directly at the pulse gate of Li Bai's wrist...

Gu Qing was stunned, watching helplessly as a warm and harmonious hot pot meal turned into a fight of swords and swords.

Someone in the past life always said that there is nothing that a hot pot meal cannot solve. If there is anything, then two meals.

Looking at the situation in front of us, there is no conflict that cannot be intensified by a hot pot meal. If there is, two meals are not needed. One meal can mean life or death.

If you have many enemies in the future, you might as well lock them in the same room and put a hot pot on it. The one who comes out alive will be the Gu King.

Above the hot pot, the two people's chopsticks were clattering and fighting. Li Bai and Zhang Huaiyu seemed to be getting angry. The current point of conflict was not the hot pot ingredients, but the outcome.

While the two of them were fighting, Gu Qing silently rinsed the remaining pieces of meat on the plate and put them into his mouth.

After smacking his lips, Gu Qing got up and went to the kitchen, picked up a large piece of mutton and two grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms and placed them on the table. He then held his chin up and watched the two fighting, yawning out of boredom from time to time.

I don’t know how long the beating lasted, but Gu Qing couldn’t bear it anymore. He knocked on the table with his chopsticks and said, “You two still want to eat? You want to go out and beat me, but don’t harm my hot pot.”

The two stopped immediately, and when they looked at each other, Li Bai's eyes showed approval, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young lady is very skilled."

Zhang Huaiyu rubbed his arms. It was obvious that he had been defeated in the previous fight. He snorted and said, "Your skills are pretty good. If you hadn't been addicted to drinking all day long, your skills would have reached the pinnacle. There is no one who can match you in the world. It's a pity..."

Li Bai smiled: "I live not for swordsmanship, nor for wine. I only want to live happily and freely. If I want to practice swordsmanship, I will practice swordsmanship. If I want to drink wine, I will drink wine. What else can the world do to me?"

Zhang Huaiyu pouted and ignored him. During the fight just now, Li Bai showed her the world of academic masters. Geniuses are geniuses. They can do whatever they want, and they do it very well.

Li Bai couldn't correct Li Bai's outlook on life with violence because he couldn't beat him. Zhang Huaiyu had no choice but to turn to look at Gu Qing and warn: "You are not allowed to imitate him, or I will beat you!"

Gu Qing was stunned:???

Is this woman crazy?

Li Bai stroked his beard and looked at the two of them, the smile in his eyes getting deeper.

…………

The school in the village had been in session for a while, and it was the New Year's Day. Gu Qing prepared some meat strips for repair and visited the invited gentlemen one by one.

The gentlemen were all failed scholars and were somewhat arrogant. Although they themselves failed, they were still a bit arrogant towards Gu Qing, a boy from a peasant family, and their habit of looking at people through their nostrils made Gu Qing very unhappy.

Scholars also need to eat. To treat the boss who provides them with such an attitude is not a good human being.

So Gu Qing and Song Gensheng colluded in advance, and then chose an auspicious day to pull Song Gensheng out of the classroom, accuse him of being distracted in class and not listening, and beat Song Gensheng violently in front of several teachers. Song Gensheng covered his head and screamed,

The gentlemen were trembling.

The cruel and inhuman punishment showed the gentlemen nakedly what the rules of the rural jungle are.

The gentlemen taught and asked, and Gu Qing taught the gentlemen how to behave. Everyone taught each other, and each had his own teachings.

From then on, the gentlemen became extremely well-behaved and no longer dared to put on arrogant airs in front of Gu Qing and the villagers. They were very kind-hearted and made money, and took the initiative to say hello to everyone they met. There were also one or two gentlemen who were too aloof and could not bear to take the initiative to resign.

Gu Qing didn't mind and sent them on their way with a smile.

Although there are not many scholars in this era, there are also many scholars who are not doing well, and there is no shortage of one or two.

The new magistrate of Qingcheng County, Wei Du, arrived very suddenly. Gu Qing was surprised. How could the magistrate of the county be so idle? He likes to run to the countryside when he has nothing to do.

"Young Master, Mr. Gu, what a happy event!" Wei Du didn't care about the official dignity at all. When he reached the entrance of the village, he lifted up the hem of his official robe and trotted towards Gu Qing, just like he did when he was young and ran towards love regardless of his own safety.

Gu Qing was squatting on the ground at the entrance of the village, looking for an ant nest. After searching for a long time, he was disappointed. He looked up in shock and saw Wei Du. Gu Qing hurriedly stood up, patted the dust on his body, and saluted Wei Du.

"Young Master, what a happy event!" Wei Du ran to Gu Qing and repeated it, even changing his name to Gu Qing unknowingly.

Gu Qing subconsciously replied: "Congratulations, does Wei County prefer to marry a wife or do you have a full moon? The common people will definitely send you a congratulatory gift."

"No, it's your great joy, Mr. Young Master."

"I'm not in a hurry, it's still early. The main reason is that the women around me don't look like anyone..."
