In the hotpot restaurant, Ye Chen and Ying Zheng sat in a private room.
A large pot had been placed on the table in front of the two of them. Ye Chen had specially ordered an extra spicy pot.
During the Qin Dynasty, there were no chilies. There were only pepper and Zhu Yu as spicy seasonings.
However, they were rarely used at that time, and people didn't know how to season them.
Even if Ying Zheng had eaten pepper before, he might not like it.
Ye Chen wanted Ying Zheng to have an appetizer and taste the charm of the chili.
However, at this moment, as the dishes were served one by one, Ying Zheng curled his lips and said,"
"I thought it was something delicious. It turns out to be boiled meat!”
"I'm already sick of this!"
Fatty Ying was tapping the wok with his chopsticks while sweeping the beef, mutton, and vegetables here and there, seemingly disinterested.
"You'll know when you try it." Ye Chen chuckled.”
Seeing that the pot was finally boiling, Ye Chen added the loin slices, belly slices, fat beef and mutton, and prawns into the pot one by one.
Then, he handed Ying Zheng a bowl of sesame paste.
"What is this for?"
Fatty Ying stretched out his fingers, pinched a little bit of it, and put it into his mouth to taste it. Immediately, his eyes lit up.
"Hey, this is not bad."
Ye Chen looked at him disdainfully.”
"I see." Ying Zheng nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all. Instead, he was looking forward to this meal.
The hotpot was boiling, and white smoke floated between the two of them. Clouds and fog surrounded them, making it impossible to see clearly.
On the other hand, the meat slices in the pot kept rolling, looking lively.
Ye Chen silently counted the number of times the meat slices rolled and observed the color of the meat slices.
Ye Chen was an expert in the area of when the meat would be the most tender and taste the best.
Although Ying Zheng did not understand, he knew that Ye Chen definitely understood. Therefore, he had been observing Ye Chen's expression.
"Alright!"
In a moment, Ye Chen's eyes and hands were quick. He reached out with his chopsticks and accurately picked up a piece of fat beef. After dipping it in sauce, he stuffed it into his mouth.
Jordan had not eaten hotpot for half a year.
After taking a bite, his mouth and tongue were filled with fragrance. He felt that there was nothing more delicious than the spicy hot pot and meat slices in the world.
When Ying Zheng saw Ye Chen's reaction, he did not want to be outdone either. He put his chopsticks into the pot.
Look at the way he used the chopsticks.
Hmm…he was an old foodie.
He quickly picked up a piece of belly, dipped it in sesame sauce, and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm?"
As soon as it entered his mouth, Ying Zheng let out a soft cry of surprise.
"This…this…this?"
Ying Zheng's eyes burst out with a strong sense of disbelief.
"What's this smell?"
As he spoke, Ying Zheng picked up a few more slices of beef, dipped them in sauce, and hurriedly put them into his mouth.
As he chewed, he said vaguely,
"Why is it so delicious?"
After saying that, Ying Zheng quickly scooped out a few more pieces of meat from the pot, and only stopped when he could no longer scoop any more.
Then, he dipped the meat into the sauce and ate the meat in big mouthfuls. His forehead was covered in fine sweat.
It was obvious that he had eaten to his heart's content.
Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, Ye Chen smiled and said,""How is it, Brother Zheng?”
Ying Zheng was completely convinced by the charm of the hotpot. He immediately glared at Ye Chen and said,"
"I've decided that in the future, I'll have hotpot in my meals every day!”
"This is the best taste in the world! The ones I ate before were just brans and vegetables!! There's no comparison at all!"
"This is so tasteless…"
Ye Chen thought to himself,'It's still the duck neck that has the best taste.'
Ye Chen looked at the waiter outside the hall and waved.
"Please, give me another catty of duck neck and two bottles of cold beer!”
Soon, the special duck neck and cold beer were served.
Ye Chen picked up a piece of fat meat and placed it on the plate in front of Ying Zheng. He smiled and said,"
"Come, Brother Zheng, try this.”
"What is this?" It was Ying Zheng, who was looking at the small duck neck in front of him, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Spicy duck neck," Ye Chen answered truthfully.
"Can duck necks be eaten?"
"That bit of meat is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!”
Ying Zheng curled his lips and said," What I like the most is to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big bowls of wine! There wasn't even half a tael of meat on this duck neck. How could it be eaten to its heart's content?”
Ye Chen did not listen to him. He just kept saying,"Try it first, try it first."
"Alright, I'll try it then."
Ying Zheng was too embarrassed to twist it when Ye Chen urged him to do so. He picked it up with his chopsticks and found it inconvenient, so he took it directly with his hands.
When Ye Chen saw this, he was instantly amused.
This must be an old glutton.
The correct posture to eat a duck neck was clear.
Ying Zheng held the duck neck in his hands, then tore off a piece of meat with his teeth and began to chew.
He had only chewed two mouthfuls when he was stunned.
"…Eh?"
The expression on Ying Zheng's face was extremely interesting.
On one side, her face was red from the spiciness.
On the other hand, he was extremely excited because he had eaten delicious food.
"How is it, Brother Zheng?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.”
At this moment, Ying Zheng was already nibbling on the fourth piece of duck neck. Hearing this, he glared at Ye Chen.
Then, he lowered his head and said,"
"I take back what I said just now. Hotpot and spicy duck neck are both delicious!”
Ye Chen burst into laughter when he saw Ying Zheng's serious expression when he spoke.
It turned out that the mighty and domineering Brother Zheng also had such a cute side…
Ye Chen did not manage to catch a single one of the 500 grams of duck neck, and it was all eaten by Ying Zheng.
After eating, Ye Chen was still not satisfied, so he ordered another half a catty for him.
Fortunately, this thing was bone-heavy and did not have much meat. Ye Chen was not afraid of Ying Zheng holding it up.
"I've decided that in the future, I'll add duck neck to my daily meals!”
Ying Zheng wiped his mouth. Although the spicy taste was unbearable, he still forced the duck neck into his daily diet.
Ye Chen chuckled when he saw Brother Zheng's tongue being blown away by the spiciness and pushed the cold beer over.
"Brother Laizheng, try this wine!"
……
Ying Zheng was completely convinced by this meal.
"I've really lived in vain these decades!”
"I can't believe I'm only eating such delicious food now!”
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Ying Zheng patted his belly and said contentedly.
Seeing that there were a lot of people around, Ying Zheng leaned closer and whispered into Ye Chen's ear,"
"If I had known that there was such delicious food here, I definitely wouldn't have forced you to send me back!”
"Even if we go back, we have to bring these food!”
Looking at Brother Zheng's true feelings at this moment.
Ye Chen sighed.
This was really a glutton.
For the sake of food, he was not even in a hurry to rule the country?
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing to a man. This meal could be considered to have truly opened the door to a new world for Brother Zheng.
It had been more than half a day since they arrived in the modern world, but Ye Chen reckoned that Ying Zheng could not remember much else.
He remembered a lot of food.
However, now that his appetite had been satisfied, it was time to buy a set of clothes.
It wasn't a good idea to let Brother Zheng walk around in big pants.
Therefore, after the meal, Ye Chen dragged Ying Zheng into the shopping mall.
