Chapter 211 Hot Pot

The busy farming season is over, and so is the holiday.

The students who went to Juzhou to eat, drink and have fun also returned on time.

When Yin Siqi returned to the dormitory with a lot of bags, he was shocked to see Su Yichen and the others who had darkened by more than eight degrees.

"Wow, what have you been doing these days? How come..." Everything has changed?

Nowadays, they look a bit out of place in these Confucian robes.

Su Yichen shook his head, unwilling to say more.

What can he say?

Saying that Gu Huangan that kid dislikes him?

That he was deliberately targeted by Jiang Shanchang?

Never mind, it's just that God is jealous of talented people. Why bother to care?

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Yin Siqi didn't ask any more questions. He just took the good things he brought from Juzhou.

A piece of red, greasy chili pepper.

"What's this?"

Yin Siqi smiled mysteriously. "Hey, you'll know later. I brought this especially for you classmates who didn't go to Juzhou."

"I'm telling you, you really missed out by not going to Juzhou this time. I never thought Juzhou City would hide so many good things that aren't even in Kyoto."

While he was talking about what he had seen and heard in Juzhou, he actually took out a pot from his bag.

Yes, it really is a pot.

Just when Su Yichen was about to praise him, Song Zhixu came in with a brazier in his hand with red-hot charcoal burning in it.

The brazier on the table was just big enough to hold the pot Yin Siqi had taken out. Hey, isn't that a coincidence?

The pot was put in place and the bright red chili oil was thrown in.

But the moment the chili oil came into contact with the pot, an overbearing aroma filled the courtyard.

"What's that smell? It's spicy yet fragrant!"

Yin Siqi smiled. "This is the gift I brought back for you, spicy hot pot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng led the others into the yard.

Some people carried tables, some carried rice, some carried vegetables, and several even carried various slices of meat.

In just one minute, the originally artistic courtyard was suddenly filled with the smell of fireworks.

Those students who had been to Juzhou City had eaten there before, so they were the first to start eating.

Students who did not go to Juzhou also picked up chopsticks and started eating like him.

“So spicy.”

"But it smells so good."

"How did you do this? Why is it completely different from the pots I've eaten before?"

"What is this? Shrimp slips? What are shrimp slips?"

"Where are my potato chips? Where are the round, thin, half-cooked potato chips I just placed here?"

"Hmm, I didn't expect that the bok choy would be so delicious when boiled like this."

"Tofu! Who ate my tofu?"

....

Gu Jiayue happened to pass by the dormitory door. Smelling this long-lost smell, saliva began to secrete continuously in her mouth.

Hey, even though she is the owner of this hot pot restaurant, she herself has never eaten it.

After all, Juzhou is too far away from Taohua Village, and it will take three days to go back and forth.

There are hundreds of people waiting for her in the school, and she can't afford to delay.

How about writing a letter and asking Kangzi to send over two pieces of hot pot base?

Gu Jiayue was thinking about this when she heard Su Yichen ask, "Have you sent such a good thing to the teachers?"

Then Yin Siqi's loud voice came over. "Don't worry, I brought two pieces for each teacher and gave them to them when they entered the school."

"I even had a lot of it delivered to my home. I guarantee my old man has never tasted such delicious food!"

"Wow, Brother Yin is really scheming. Why didn't he tell us about such a big thing in advance?" A student who went to Juzhou with him looked at Yin Siqi in disbelief.

He actually bought local specialties and sent them home without their knowledge? This...

We all belong to the same circle, and when Uncle Yin receives the gift, he will definitely show it off everywhere.

Look, this is the hot pot base my son sent me.

Then his father returned home and found that his son, who was with the boy from the Yin family, had not sent anything home.

Wouldn’t this make you angry to death?

What if the old man gets angry and stops giving him living expenses?

Then more students figured out the connection and glared at Yin Siqi with indignation.

Yin Siqi was completely baffled. "I just saw Brother Song buying it, so I bought it too."

Song Zhixu, who was scalding mutton nearby, hadn't expected the fire to reach him. "Brother Yin, you're wrong. My home is in Juzhou. Is it okay for me to buy some food and take it home?"

The students shook their heads.

No problem, absolutely no problem. Brother Song's family lives in Juzhou, so it's reasonable for him to buy some food on his way home.

People like Yin Siqi even bought it from thousands of miles away and sent it to Kyoto.

Just give it to them, but don’t tell them.

This is outrageous! What a mean act!

Because of this experience, the atmosphere in the room for eating hot pot became unprecedentedly lively.

Gu Jiayue, who was outside the door, kept talking when she heard Yin Siqi say that a copy had been sent to her home.

Hot pot hot pot she is here.

But then she saw what was in her hand.

Oh, I still have to go to the courtyard to teach Jiang Luli how to paint.

Life is so hard.

She could only let the hot pot wait for him for a while, hoping that her mother would not have started cooking dinner when she returned.

With this secret foodie thought in mind, Gu Jiayue walked briskly.

Jiang Luli stood at the gate, looking at the large red object in Xiao Fuzi's hand, his handsome face wrinkled. "What kind of strange food is this? It's lost."

Although Xiao Fuzi thought the smell was quite pleasant, he was a good subordinate and naturally followed his master's opinion. "Yes."

He carried the things and walked out, intending to throw them into the mountains so that Master Yin would not see them.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw Gu Jiayue walking towards me from a distance.

He hurried forward a few steps. "Miss Gu, please be careful of the stones under your feet."

This is the apple of the master's eye, so serve her well.

Gu Jiayue felt a little uncomfortable. This Eunuch Fu was becoming more and more polite, which made her feel comfortable and unworthy at the same time. "Eunuch Fu, are you leaving?"

Eunuch Fu moved the things he was carrying forward. "The master didn't like this food very much and told me to dispose of it."

Gu Jiayue looked down and saw, "Oh, isn't this the hot pot base that Yin Siqi sent? Jiang Luli doesn't like it?"

I never thought that I would meet someone who doesn’t like hot pot in my lifetime.

In that case, it would be better to let her get away with it.

Then she took the basket of hot pot base from Xiao Fuzi. "I really like this stuff. Why don't you give it to me, Master Fu? It's the same as throwing it away anyway." "I'll take it home after class. That way, Jiang Luli won't see it either, and it'll be the same as throwing it away."

Xiao Fuzi was shocked. Miss Gu actually liked this thing? Of course, I couldn't throw it away. But should I tell the master?

After all, the master is very concerned about everything about Miss Gu.

"Miss Gu, this is the first time I've seen this kind of food. I don't know what it tastes like."

Gu Jiayue understood immediately. "So, when do you get off work? I'll make it and you can try it."

Anyway, there is another portion at home. I can eat my own portion first when I go back today, and Grandpa Fu can eat this one when he is free.

No, he meant that the master hadn't eaten it either.

"How about this, Miss Gu, tell me how to make this meal, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it. You can have lunch after you finish discussing academic matters with the master."

Gu Jiayue's heart was moved for a moment. After all, she had been craving this for a long time. "But, doesn't your master dislike it?"
