Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian were stunned.
Delicious food that he had never eaten before?
Recalling the wonderful taste of the dumplings he had eaten before, Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva and said,
With a nostalgic look on his face, he could not help but ask,
"Chief He, is this delicacy as delicious as dumplings?”
Meng Tian also swallowed her saliva and nodded. She looked at He Chao with anticipation.
He Chao chuckled and said proudly,
"Dumplings are nothing. The delicacies I've treated you to today are much more delicious than dumplings.
I guarantee that you'll be full of praise after eating it!”
After saying that, He Chao smiled mysteriously and turned to leave.
It's actually so delicious?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Meng Tian were shocked. They swallowed hard and said,
With a strong sense of curiosity and anticipation, he immediately followed.
Soon, He Chao brought Ying Zheng and Meng Tian back to his small courtyard from the school.
After returning to the courtyard, He Chao immediately called a few servants over.
He gave them some instructions and asked them to prepare some ingredients to eat later.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng became even more confused. He couldn't help but look at He Chao and ask,"
"Chieftain He, what are you treating us to?”
He Chao replied proudly,"
"Haha, I'm going to treat you guys to hotpot later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, both Ying Zheng and Meng Tian asked in confusion,"
"What's hotpot?"
"Why haven't I heard of it before?"
One of them was Great Qin's Emperor, while the other was Great Qin's valiant general.
His status was naturally extremely rich, and he had eaten many delicacies cooked by the imperial chefs in the palace.
However, he had never heard of hotpot.
Especially when they heard He Chao say that hotpot was more delicious than dumplings, it made them even more curious about hotpot.
Seeing the two of them dumbfounded, He Chao laughed and explained,
"Haha, hotpot is a kind of food in my hometown.
The method of eating it was to put all kinds of raw food into boiling hot water and cook them.
After that, he stuck all kinds of dipping sauce on it and it could be eaten.”
After Ying Zheng heard that, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he muttered to himself,"
"Instant food?"
"Why do I seem to have heard of this eating method before?”
After Meng Tian heard this, she pondered for a while and replied with disappointment,"
"Chief He is talking about the antique soup, right?
We've eaten this before, and the taste is really unflattering.”
After hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head and said,"
"So antique soup is tasteless and not as delicious as dumplings.”
The two of them thought that He Chao was going to treat them to antique soup later.
He could not help but reveal a disappointed expression and immediately lost interest.
This was because this antique soup had already appeared during the Warring States Period.
At that time, as a new cooking method, it was popular among the nobles for a period of time.
This was because when food was placed in boiling water, it would make a "gurgling" sound.
Therefore, the ancients called this kind of food antique soup.
However, because the taste of this antique soup was really tasteless,
They were quickly despised by the nobles and did not spread at all in Great Qin.
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian were the top nobles of Great Qin.
Naturally, he had eaten the antique soup before and knew that it was indeed not delicious.
When He Chao saw Old Qin and Old Meng, he scoffed at the food he mentioned.
Instead, he had a faint smile on his face and was not in a hurry to refute.
Because he had this strong confidence that the hotpot he would make later...
It would definitely be a thousand times more delicious than the antique soup that Old Qin and the others were talking about!
Thinking of this, He Chao sneered and said confidently,
"Hehe, Old Qin, Old Meng, the antique soup you guys are talking about can't be compared to my hotpot at all!”
"I guarantee that after you taste the hotpot, you will definitely praise it!”
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian's eyes widened after they heard everything.
Antique soup couldn't be compared to hotpot?
Would they praise him after eating it?
Wasn't this too exaggerated? Was this hotpot really that delicious?
"I know you don't believe me now, but you'll know that I'm not lying after you eat it later!”
Seeing the two of them in disbelief, He Chao was too lazy to explain to them.
He directly asked the servants to bring the prepared ingredients to the stone table in the courtyard.
Immediately after, he asked the servants to bring up the copper basin that had already been heated.
After everything was ready, under the puzzled gazes of Ying Zheng and Meng Tian,
He Chao began to heat up the soup base in the copper basin and prepare various seasonings.
After a while, the water in the copper basin gradually boiled.
A fragrant and spicy fragrance immediately spread out.
Ying Zheng and Meng Tian looked at the boiling soup in the big copper pot on the stone table.
There was also a burst of fragrant steam coming from it. The expressions on their faces became even more puzzled.
Especially the fragrance in the copper basin with a hint of spicy fragrance.
It intoxicated the two of them and immediately aroused their appetite.
Ying Zheng gulped down a mouthful of saliva, then sniffed hard. Looking at He Chao, he asked in confusion,"
"Chieftain He, did you add some seasoning to the copper basin?”
"The antique soup you made smells really good.”
He Chao gave Ying Zheng an appreciative glance, then nodded and said,"
"Old Qin's eyes are indeed sharp. That's right, I did add some special seasonings.”
"However, the seasoning is only one part of it. The soup base in this copper basin is the key.”
