Chapter 246 Hot Pot
The straight-line distance from Luocheng to Yucheng is more than 150 kilometers.
Less than a minute after hanging up the phone, Luo Bingning, wearing a blue and white short skirt, arrived in Yucheng.
Everyone had just sat down on their chairs, but when they saw Luo Bingning coming, they all stood up from their chairs which were not even warm enough yet.
"You came so quickly. We just sat down and you're here." Lucy complained.
"I told you I'll be there soon." Luo Bingning walked towards the crowd and said, "Have you eaten yet? I remember the hotpot in Yucheng is very delicious. Do you want to go and have some together?"
"I've been to Yucheng once, and the hotpot here is really delicious. I've eaten hotpot in cities since then, but none of them tasted as good as the one in Yucheng." Shi Lingyun said with a nostalgic look.
"Is it really that delicious? I want to try it." Lucy said excitedly.
"Is it the way of eating where you prepare the ingredients and cook them in a pot right before eating? I've never eaten it before. I want to go too." said Minian.
"I'm also interested." Lan Siyuan said when she saw Minian was going.
"I want to go too." Hua Ruan said.
"Is the hotpot here spicy?" Xu Yuan asked.
In her memory, the most famous flavors of hot pot are numbing and spicy, but she doesn't like spicy food.
Hearing Xu Yuan's question, Luo Bingning thought of the fact that the dishes cooked at home were not spicy, and said, "Yucheng's hot pot is famous for its spicy and fresh taste, so the taste is naturally spicy. For those who try it for the first time, I don't recommend eating too spicy food."
Hearing this, Lan Siyuan, Minian, Hua Ruan, and Lucy frowned slightly. The taste of spiciness involved their blind spots in knowledge. They had never eaten anything spicy, and they didn't know if they could eat spicy food.
Before Xu Yuan could say no, Xiao Yuan suggested, "How about we order a shabu-shabu hotpot? One side is slightly spicy, and the other side has clear soup. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan don't like spicy food, and it can also take care of those of us who can't eat spicy food."
"Okay." Luo Bingning nodded slightly.
So, everyone decided to have a hotpot first and then find a hotel to stay in.
It has to be said that there are really a lot of hot pot restaurants in Yucheng. Not long after entering Yucheng, the group had passed by two or three hot pot restaurants.
However, those hot pot restaurants were basically full, so if you wanted to eat, you had to wait. Since no one wanted to wait, they continued to look for one.
Seeing so many people eating hot pot, Lan Siyuan said with emotion: "There are so many people eating hot pot here."
"Indeed, there are not only a lot of people, but also a lot of shops." Minnie Ann echoed.
Lucy took a few photos of the three hot pot restaurants she had visited before.
Hua Ruan was asking Shi Lingyun about Yucheng.
Xu Yuan, Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan looked around and said nothing.
Luo Bingning walked in front, leading everyone to look for a hot pot restaurant with vacancies.
After more than ten minutes, everyone finally found a hot pot restaurant with vacancies and walked in.
As soon as they entered the hot pot restaurant, everyone smelled the spicy aroma of the hot pot, which increased their appetite. However, Xu Yuan and Xu Yan did not have this feeling.
Everyone sat around a large round table.
Luo Bingning and Xiao Yuan took the menu, asked everyone what they wanted to eat, and then went to order together.
Shi Lingyun took everyone who came to the hot pot restaurant for the first time to the seasoning area to prepare their own dipping sauce.
Xu Yuan and Xu Yan prepared the dipping sauces for Xiao Yuan and Luo Bingning respectively.
Xu Yuan thought about her impression of Xiao Yuan, who either had no expression or had a smiling face, and she had never seen her in any other way, so an idea came to her mind.
Xu Yuan added a little bit of spicy food to Xiao Yuan's dipping sauce.
After Xu Yan helped Luo Bingning prepare the dipping sauce, he turned around and saw Xu Yuan scooping a large spoonful of chili oil into the dipping sauce bowl, and then added some dried chilies into it.
Seeing this, Xu Yan was very surprised. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Another me, are you planning to eat spicy food?"
"No, how can I eat spicy food? Hehe, I prepared this for Xiaoyuan." Xu Yuan said with a smile as he continued to add chili peppers to the dipping sauce bowl.
Xu Yan walked to the other side of Xu Yuan, holding another empty bowl and preparing the dipping sauce, and reminded him: "Xiao Yuan, this is also the first time for this to be spicy. If you make so much at once, be careful that Xiao Yuan will cancel your daily dessert."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan paused as she put down the chili pepper and said, "Xiao Yuan wouldn't do that, would he?"
"You can try it. I've already prepared it. Do you need me to bring your bowl over to you?" Xu Yan said, holding two bowls of prepared dipping sauce and looking at Xu Yuan.
"You only have two hands, and you are still holding the dipping sauce. Can you hold another bowl?" Xu Yuan looked at Xu Yan and said puzzledly.
Xu Yan looked at Xu Yuan as if he was mentally retarded, exhaled, and explained, "Of course. Although both of my hands are occupied, I still have magic power. My magic power is fully capable of doing this."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan opened his eyes wide and said, "Oh! That's right! Then help me carry it over."
Seeing Xu Yuan agreed, Xu Yan brought two servings of dipping sauce and used magic to lift Xu Yuan's bowl of dipping sauce.
When Xu Yan turned to leave, a slightly turbid liquid entered Xu Yuan's dipping sauce bowl. Because the speed was very fast and Xu Yuan's attention was not here, he did not notice the abnormality on Xu Yan's side.
Seeing this, Xu Yan smiled faintly and walked towards the table where everyone was sitting.
Now only Xu Yuan is left in the seasoning area.
Xu Yuan looked at the bowl of chili in her hand and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, she felt that her life could not be without dessert, so she took another bowl, but this time she didn't put chili in it.
After Xu Yuan prepared the dipping sauce, he hummed a little tune and walked towards the table where everyone was.
When Xu Yuan walked to the table, she found that Xiao Yuan and Luo Bing Ning had already ordered the dishes and came back. Now everyone was chatting, and the hot pot in the middle had been lit and started to cook.
This restaurant specializes in rabbit meat hotpot, so their hotpot now contains rabbit meat.
Xu Yuan placed the dipping sauce bowl in front of Xiao Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, I have prepared your dipping sauce."
"Well, thank you Xiaoyuan." Xiaoyuan looked up at Xuyuan beside him and said.
Xu Yuan walked back to his seat, sat down between Xu Yan and Xiao Yuan, looked at Xiao Yuan next to him, and asked, "Xiao Yuan, I would like to have a dessert before dinner, is that okay?"
She thought that she had been frightened by Xu Yan and was told that she could not eat dessert, so she asked Xiao Yuan for a dessert to comfort herself.
Xiao Yuan didn't even think about it, and nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, Xiao Yuan took out a piece of cream cake and handed it to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan took the cream cake and said happily, "Thank you, Xiao Yuan."
After saying that, Xu Yuan started eating.
