At this time, an interesting comment caught my attention: "Sui Sui, you are really seducing me and torturing me! I am watching but cannot eat it, and I even have to give you ideas and suggestions, wuwuwu... Baby feels so sad, but baby just doesn't say it." The netizen who posted this comment also claimed that he could only eat one bowl of food in one meal.
Seeing this playful comment, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Haha, this friend is so adorable! But today, I have a little surprise for everyone. Our restaurant under the Grand Hotel will be launching a delicious hot pot menu!
As soon as this news broke, the entire livestream room erupted in excitement. Excited comments poured in: "Is this true? If so, wouldn't that mean we can enjoy the same hot pot as Sui Sui's?" "That's fantastic! I happen to live not far from the Grand Hotel, so I'm in for a treat."
My eyes sparkled brightly, like the stars in the night sky, and I spoke excitedly, "That's right! I've put a lot of effort into bringing you an unprecedented feast for your taste buds. I've collaborated with our hotel restaurant's highly skilled and experienced team of chefs, and after countless trials and innovations, we've meticulously developed a variety of mouth-watering hot pot flavors! Furthermore, we're extremely strict in selecting ingredients, using only the finest, freshly picked, as if still covered in morning dew. This way, whether it's the spicy and fragrant Sichuan hot pot, the rich and mellow bone broth, or the refreshing and delicious tomato hot pot, you can enjoy the purest and most delicious flavors."
At that moment, as if enchanted, the screen began to rapidly scroll through a myriad of bizarre ingredients and inventive flavor combinations. I stared intently at the screen, carefully and patiently responding to each of the netizens' enthusiastic and creative suggestions. Sometimes I nodded in agreement, sometimes I smiled in delight, as if I had discovered some truly divine delicacy.
"Wow, it seems everyone is really excited about this new hot pot dish! So, please keep an eye on the official news channels of Grand Hotel. Once the specific opening date is finalized, we will be the first to share the good news with everyone through various channels!

When I told netizens that the Grand Hotel restaurant was about to launch hot pot, it caused quite a stir! Many netizens on Snow Star left messages expressing their excitement about the news and their eagerness to try it.
Time flew by in the lively and engaging conversations I had with my friends online. Everyone chatted and joked, the atmosphere was incredibly lively. Before I knew it, my incredibly lively hotpot party was drawing to a close.
After saying goodbye to my adorable fans and announcing my end of the stream, I immediately called Manager Edward. I'd just mentioned the tomato hot pot base during the live stream, so I had to work overtime tonight to get it ready! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speak faster, detailing the ingredients and seasonings that would be needed. I hoped everything would go smoothly so that everyone who came to support us tomorrow could enjoy a delicious hot pot feast!
After informing Manager Edward about the necessary matters, I turned and headed for my room. Once inside, I quickly opened my closet and chose a clean, comfortable outfit to change into. Then, I walked over to my dresser, combed my slightly messy hair, and expertly tied it into a neat bun with a hair tie. After all, I was about to enter the kitchen, so no detail could be overlooked; I had to be meticulous.
As we all know, food safety remains a paramount concern, regardless of era. It doesn't tolerate the slightest negligence or laxity. With all preparations complete, I walked with a determined stride toward the restaurant's kitchen. As I pushed open the door, I was startled by the sight—several chefs were already waiting. But I quickly recovered and thought to myself, "Manager Edward must have given them advance notice of their return."
Taking a deep breath, I composed myself, grabbed a pristine white chef's hat from a nearby shelf, donned it, and covered my mouth and nose with a blue mask. Only then did I officially begin my day's work: preparing a tomato hot pot base. Clearing my throat, I addressed the chefs gathered around me and said, "Master chefs, let me demonstrate and explain how to make a new hot pot base. This hot pot base is especially suitable for children and the elderly. It's light and non-spicy, yet has a unique, sour, and appetizing flavor. First, we need to carefully prepare the following ingredients..."
First, carefully wash the fresh tomatoes and lightly score them in a cross-shaped pattern. Next, carefully place the scored tomatoes in a pot of boiling water and let them soak for a few moments. This will make it easier to peel the skins. Afterward, you can either dice the peeled tomatoes or blend them in a juicer until they're smooth.
As for the necessary ingredients, there are onions, garlic, ginger, green onions, etc. You can carefully cut these ingredients into suitable shapes according to your favorite taste and habits, and set them aside for later use.
Now that all the ingredients are ready, let's get started on the exciting part of stir-frying the base! Pour a moderate amount of cooking oil into a spacious pot. Once the oil is slightly heated, add the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and other ingredients. Stir-fry over medium heat until the enchanting aroma gradually spreads. Next, add the diced tomatoes or their juice, stirring constantly until the tomatoes begin to release their juices.
Once the tomatoes have been successfully sautéed and released their juices, it's time to season and simmer. At this point, you can add some delicious tomato sauce to further enhance the flavor and texture of the entire pot. Continue stir-frying for a while, then slowly pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water or fragrant bone broth. Add seasonings like salt and chicken bouillon to your taste.
Next, just turn down the heat and keep it simmering, simmering patiently for a while to allow the aromas of the various ingredients to fully blend and penetrate each other, making the soup more rich and mellow.
Finally, after a while of simmering, the residue at the bottom of the pot will gradually settle. At this point, we can skillfully use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the residue, making the entire soup base appear clearer and more transparent. At this point, a tomato soup base with a beautiful appearance, aroma, and flavor is complete! I wonder if you have memorized this recipe?
