Chapter 475: Developing Hot Pot Base

Han Siyan took Gu Xiaoqi and Lu Jingze to the kitchen and introduced the kitchen's head chef Fu Ming to Gu Xiaoqi, who was also the head of the research and development department of the Rose Hotel.

Han Siyan ordered: "My daughter's matter is top priority. If she needs any food or seasoning, just report it and I will buy it for her as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Third Master! I will do my best to help Miss Xiaoqi develop the hot pot base!"

Gu Xiaoqi handed the pre-written paper to Fu Ming: "Take a look, this is the material I usually use to make hot pot base. I might need you to help me develop and add some more things to see what proportion can make it more fragrant and delicious!"

Fu Ming nodded repeatedly. He didn't have high expectations. How could a young girl make such delicious hot pot base?

It's just a title, and in the end it still depends on him to develop it.

Fu Ming opened the note with disdain in his heart. The more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. These seasonings added together must taste particularly delicious. How come he didn't think of the trick?

He can't wait to develop it!

The note read:

Add butter and cook over high heat until melted. Stir well, then add scallions, shallots, onions, and garlic. Stir-fry until golden brown. Add turmeric and black bean curd.

When the oil temperature is 180 degrees, add the chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and shochu to enhance the flavor.

Star anise, amomum villosum, galangal, white cardamom, fennel, cinnamon, thyme, red cardamom, cardamom, tsaoko, bay fruit, and bay leaves are soaked in Laobaigan.

Then, add the spices into the pot and stir, and finally add rock sugar to reduce the spiciness and milden the taste.”

After reading it, Fu Ming exclaimed that with so many seasonings, even the soles of shoes would be delicious. Having been working in the kitchen for many years, he can guarantee that the taste will not be bad!

"Miss Xiao Qi, I don't think your recipe needs to be improved. Just by looking at it, I know that your hot pot base is absolutely delicious!"

Gu Xiaoqi said modestly: "You still have to adjust the proportions and weights. When I made it myself before, the amount was small, so I just grabbed it randomly!"

Fu Ming praised repeatedly with an expectant look on his face, completely devoid of his previous contempt!

"Okay, okay, absolutely no problem. So when do you think we should start?"

Gu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Let's start now!"

Afterwards, Fu Ming brought the kitchen staff to get the seasonings and ingredients and mixed Gu Xiaoqi's recipe. The rich, fresh and spicy aroma spread to every corner of the kitchen, and just smelling it made one drool.

In order to verify its deliciousness, we specially prepared ingredients for hotpot. As a result, everyone ate so happily without even raising their heads, and sounds of satisfaction were heard one after another.

"After the beef hotpot base solidifies, you can divide it into bottles for easy access every time!"

Fu Ming was full of admiration: "Miss Xiao Qi is indeed the daughter of Mr. Han San. She has a sharp mind and has thought so far ahead. I am really ashamed of myself!"

"You flatter me!"

Gu Xiaoqi's formula is undoubtedly successful. After an afternoon of research and development, it has been preliminarily completed. Gu Xiaoqi no longer needs to follow suit. Fu Ming has been adjusting the weight ratio over the next two days, and the hot pot base will be ready to be born!

Han Siyan said, "I know you will succeed, Xiaoqi. Next, you should look at the location. Dad actually bought a three-story storey in a busy area and is going to give it to you to open a hot pot restaurant!"

Gu Xiaoqi frowned, feeling warm and awkward in his heart: "Who told you to buy it? I still want to see it myself!"

Han Siyan was afraid that Xiaoqi would be angry and would not accept his gift, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Jingze's eyes met Han Siyan's and suddenly an idea came to him. Isn't this an opportunity to please his father-in-law?

"Xiao Qi, why don't we go take a look first, maybe that place is really more suitable?"

The first time Han Siyan saw Lu Jingze, he felt he liked him very much, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Jingze was much softer than before.

Under the constant seduction of Lu Jingze and Han Siyan, Gu Xiaoqi finally agreed to take a look first.

When they arrived at the place, Gu Xiaoqi looked at the three-story store in front of him with great satisfaction. It could be said that it could be used to open a store right away. Everything in the store had been simply treated. Although the walls were still mud walls, they were very smooth.

If Gu Xiaoqi decorates the house according to his own style, it will only take about half a month to complete the layout.

To be honest, Gu Xiaoqi was very satisfied with this storefront, and was also surprised that Han Siyan actually purchased this storefront for him in advance.

However, she had never thought about what she would get from Han Siyan, let alone such an expensive storefront in such a prime location.

"Xiao Qi, I know you may not want to accept my things, don't worry, this apartment is clean, I just hope to do something for you!"

Han Siyan said cautiously, fearing that Gu Xiaoqi would ruthlessly reject him the next second.

And after hesitating for a long time, Gu Xiaoqi made up his mind and said, "I can't accept it. I bought this house from you. I want to use my own money to do what I like!"

Gu Xiaoqi thought that this was the biggest concession she could make, and strictly speaking, she didn't lose anything. On the contrary, she didn't have to go shopping for real estate herself.

Han Siyan knew that Gu Xiaoqi had a very stubborn personality, and it was not easy for him to accept his house. It was worth it for him to carefully choose this storefront.

"Okay, Xiao Qi, then just give it to me. As long as you are willing to accept it and you are happy, that's all!"

Gu Xiaoqi estimated that this storefront would cost at least two thousand five to three thousand yuan.

"How about two thousand five?"

Han Siyan frowned and said, "Two thousand five is too high! I think one thousand five is fine!"

Actually, Han Siyan wanted to say five hundred, but then he thought it was too exaggerated and he would end up making things worse!

Gu Xiaoqi said with a straight face: "If you don't want to sell it, forget it! At worst, I can find it!"

"No, no, no, I'm listening to you. Isn't it okay? Xiaoqi, there are many things that need to be purchased after opening the store. It would be better if you could leave more working capital for yourself!"

Han Siyan nodded reluctantly. Gu Xiaoqi glared when he heard Han Siyan still chattering.

"Stop wasting time! I know my own business!"

Gu Xiaoqi is a wealthy woman now. Not to mention cash, she has plenty of gold!

"Okay~ I'll give you a deposit of 200 yuan first! I'll give you the rest tomorrow!"

In fact, Gu Xiaoqi could have taken it directly from the space, but it was a bit weird to take out such a thick stack of 2,500 yuan in a flash!

Who would carry so much cash when going out for fun?
