Cheng Yaojin said:

"This is just eating pot, it's my favorite."

As he said that, he started helping Zhuang Zhou with his work.

But soon, green vegetables were put out one by one.

Cheng Yaojin was shocked.

Lettuce, pea tips, garland chrysanthemum, bok choy, etc.

Various green leafy vegetables.

"Brother Zhuang, where did you get these vegetables in the middle of winter?"

"I brought it from my hometown."

"Do you have green leafy vegetables in your hometown even in the middle of winter?"

"yes!"

While cooking, Zhuang Zhou explained:

"When I build a greenhouse in Mount Li, Chang'an will be able to eat green leafy vegetables in the winter."

“So magical?”

In Cheng Yaojin's understanding, winter is covered with snow everywhere.

Green leafy vegetables are harder to get than meat.

It would be a great achievement to be able to find a cabbage in the cellar.

Being able to eat such fresh green leafy vegetables is something that even Your Majesty and the Emperor can’t afford.

There are also rare things like potatoes, lotus root slices, lettuce, enoki mushrooms, etc.

Cheng Yaojin finally opened his eyes.

I have never seen so many vegetables in my life!

Many of them I have never seen at all.

And next.

It was the beef tripe that Zhuang Zhou specially prepared for the hot pot today.

This is a must-have ingredient for hot pot.

"Brother Zhuang, why does this thing of yours look like cow tripe?"

“This is tripe!”

As Zhuang Zhou cut the tripe into thin slices, he explained to Cheng Yaojin:

"When I eat hot pot in my hometown, this is a must-order dish. Shabu-shabu tripe is the perfect accompaniment to hot pot."

Cheng Yaojin widened his eyes and looked at the tripe in Zhuang Zhou's hand with disdain:

"Can this thing be eaten?"

Zhuang Zhou knew that killing cattle was illegal in that era.

But it’s not that I don’t eat.

But for people like Cheng Yaojin, eating beef means only beef.

Things like beef offal are definitely not eaten.

"Brother Zhuang, is this thing really edible?"

"Of course! And it's delicious, you'll see later."

Zhuang Zhou didn't want him to do anything, just asked him to set up the pot and boil water.

Wait until the water boils and add the hot pot ingredients directly.

Suddenly, the rich aroma of hot pot filled the kiln.

"Gurgle~~~"

Immediately afterwards, a heavy swallowing sound was heard.

Cheng Yaojin is really hungry!
