Hotpot Banquet
The few of them sat down in the main hall. Fang Jun's personal maid, Chun 'er, had already served three cups of tea. Li Ke, County Magistrate Chen, and Li Siwen each had one cup in front of them. As for Fang Jun, Chun' er looked at her young master and felt that it was better to skip it. Her young master did not drink this.
Li Ke didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip of tea. He smiled and said, Not bad, this tea is just right, and the ingredients are also very suitable." Then, he smiled at Chun 'er and said,""Did you cook it?"
Chun Li Ke's handsome face smiled, causing Chun 'er's heart to thump. Her small face was red, and her voice was like a mosquito's as she said shyly,"Yes..."
Li Ke smiled lightly and nodded."Not bad, he's not worse than the tea maker in my residence.”
Chun 'er felt her breathing quicken. She was extremely excited. This was His Highness Wu Wang! Handsome, suave, so good-looking, hehe
Looking at Chun 'er, who was obviously smitten, Fang Jun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt a sour taste brewing and waved his hand unhappily."Why aren't you going down?”
Chun 'er replied with some resentment. She still wanted to say a few more words to His Highness. Erlang was really annoying.
Looking at Chun 'er who turned her head back every step, Fang Jun's face darkened. He watched her leave before turning to Li Ke and saying,"This little servant girl hasn't seen much of the world, please don't blame her, Your Highness.”
Li Ke laughed and said," This little girl is innocent and pure. I like her so much. How can I blame her?"”
Looking at the bright smile on Li Ke's face, Fang Jun was somewhat shocked. Could it be that this bastard Wu Wang has taken a fancy to my little handmaiden?
What if he asks me for it later? One had to know that in this era, it was normal for maids and even concubines to give each other gifts.
In order to prevent Wu Wang from opening his mouth, Fang Jun hurriedly shouted,"Is the hotpot useless? Bring it up when you're done!"
At this moment, a servant ran over and replied,""Erlang, the hotpot is ready. Shall we serve it now?”
Fang Jun waved his hand repeatedly." Go now. Hurry up. Your Highness is hungry."”
Not long after, two servants dressed as chefs carried a strange-shaped stove up. There was an obvious barrel in the middle, thin at the top and big at the bottom. It was shaped like an iron pot in the middle and was covered by a ring-shaped lid. White gas was coming out of the gap beside the lid.
There was an opening half a step below the furnace, and red charcoal was placed inside. Whether it was the lid or the body of the furnace, they were all carved with exquisite patterns. The entire body was made of brass, and it looked golden and naturally carried a noble aura.
The hotpot was placed in the middle of the table. Then, the cupboards brought in plates of ingredients. There were all kinds of vegetables that could be found in winter. There were also a few mushroom-like mushrooms. Of course, the most obvious was the thinly-cut mutton. It made one's appetite increase.
Li Ke and Chen Siyun were a little confused. These ingredients looked very tempting, but they were all raw. How could they eat them?
Li Siwen had obviously never seen such a scene before. He was dumbfounded and asked,"Fang Er, are you going to give us raw food?”
Fang Jun looked at the three people who were dumbfounded and smiled proudly. These country bumpkins, today I will let them experience the most attractive food. He smiled and said,"Calm down, I won't let you eat raw food.”
As Fang Jun spoke, he placed a portion of the sauce in front of everyone and said with a smile,"Today, I'll let you see a new way of eating.”
As he spoke, Fang Jun picked up the two animal-patterned rings on the lid of the pot with both hands and opened the lid, revealing the boiling soup stock. The ingredients for the soup base had already been placed inside. At this time, there was no chili, so there was no mandarin duck pot. It was just a big pot.
He picked up a piece of mutton that was as thin as a cicada's wing with his chopsticks and rinsed it in the boiling pot a few times. Then, he took it out and dipped it into the sauce. Then, he put it into his mouth and closed his eyes to chew. He revealed a blissful smile and said,"Look, this is how to eat hotpot.”
As he spoke, he opened his eyes and saw that the three of them were all holding a piece of meat and boiling it. This novel way of eating had long made them curious and impatient.
Looking at the three of them who were boiling mutton excitedly, Fang Jun smiled and said,"This hotpot is not bad, right? I developed it, especially this hotpot. I carefully designed it. It can be said to be a groundbreaking feat!”
Chen Siwen was a little respectful.”
Chen Siwen was not a pedantic person. He liked new things, especially new things that were really useful. For example, the hotpot in front of him had a great impact on the cuisine.
The few of them were already hungry. This was the first time they had seen such a novel way of eating. Even Li Ke no longer maintained his reserved image and ate heartily. Fang Jun naturally did not show weakness. This was also his first time eating hotpot in this world. He could not let others finish it.
