Upon hearing that it was the same kind of thing from last time, Yunniang frowned, her face full of disapproval: "That's not good, it's easy to get a sore throat from eating it. Adults might not feel it, but children's stomachs are weaker, and they react very quickly. Xue'er, you can't eat barbecue!"
When her mother told her that children would have a reaction, Han Luoxue didn't dare to eat it.
"Barbecue is out of the question, so let's have hot pot! I'll make two soup bases, one spicy and one non-spicy. I can't eat spicy food because I have a child with me, so you can eat whatever you like!"
Hearing about hot pot, Zhou Jie's eyes lit up: "Great! I haven't had your hot pot in ages!"
"Sister is right, I haven't had hot pot in a long time either. Sister, the spicy hot pot you used to make was so delicious!"
Han Luoyu also swallowed hard.
Mu Yurou had never eaten it before, but the barbecue she had last time was absolutely delicious, and she believed that Han Luoxue's other cooking methods were also very tasty.
Although Wang Yan didn't understand what hot pot was, she was now very curious.
Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat the hot pot myself.
"That's fine, but Xue'er, you absolutely can't eat spicy food, or the child will get a sore throat!"
Han Luoxue nodded. Right now, the children were definitely the most important thing. She had insisted on taking care of the children herself, and of course, she also wanted to consider their health.
Having decided what to make, Han Luoxue, Yunniang, and Han Luoyu went into the kitchen.
Wang Yan and Mu Yurou wanted to go and help, but Yunniang stopped them: "Guests are welcome, you can wait outside."
"Don't worry, the hot pot will be ready quickly, we can eat right away."
Yunniang also sent someone to inform Doctor Xu and Han Mengze.
When it's time to eat something delicious, of course we have to invite them over to join us. Otherwise, when Han Mengze finds out later, he'll nag us for ages.
Han Luoxue took out beef and mutton from her spatial storage. The space could only perform simple processing of meat; slicing it into pieces was impossible.
This task naturally had to be left to Yunniang and the others.
Fortunately, Yunniang's cooking skills were already quite good, and she quickly chopped seven or eight plates. Han Luoxue, on the other hand, was preparing the base sauce.
The broth for hot pot is very important, and Han Luoxue used bone broth. She simmered the bone broth until it turned a thick, white color, and there was still more than half a basin left in her space; she could just heat it up and bring it to a boil.
"We need to make more bone broth in the future; it's too much trouble to make it fresh every time."
There's no pressure cooker here, so it takes a long time to cook.
Moreover, the longer the bone broth is simmered, the better. In the past, Han Luoxue and the others would simmer the broth for most of the day.
"Alright, I'll cook a few pots tomorrow."
Over time, Yunniang also discovered that Han Luoxue's space was indeed incredibly powerful. The fact that it could store things without them spoiling was something she had never dared to imagine before.
Moreover, this space is particularly large. It's like when they moved here, Han Luoxue packed up the things she needed, and then secretly put them out after arriving here. It couldn't be more convenient.
"Okay, sure. And our grilled meat skewers, let's grill more when we have time, so we can just take them out and eat them whenever we want, it's very convenient!"
Yunniang nodded, and Zhou Jie's eyes lit up:
"Then I'll stay by your side from now on, and then I can eat whatever I want!"
Han Luoxue rolled her eyes at her: "All you ever think about is food. Anyone who didn't know better would think the Zhou family is starving you."
Zhou Jie chuckled, not angry at all: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to eat good food."
Han Luoxue thought about it and realized it was true; she was definitely a big foodie.
As we were talking, the soup was ready. It's a pity we didn't have a hot pot with two separate broths, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Han Luoxue looked at the space shop again, and sure enough, she actually saw a hot pot with two separate compartments. This thing is really smart; sometimes it's quite convenient.
Han Luoxue quickly clicked down and discovered that there were actually twenty in stock.
Is this meant to let her open a hot pot restaurant in ancient times? Han Luoxue chuckled and ordered everything without any hesitation.
She took one out, and Yunniang and the others were all stunned. Although it wasn't the first time they had seen Han Luoxue conjure things out of thin air, this was something else entirely...
Something feels off.
Han Luoxue smiled and explained, "This is a hot pot with two broths, and doesn't it look like a Tai Chi symbol?"
Everyone nodded, and Han Luoxue pointed to both sides: "One side can be used for spicy food, and this side is not spicy. This one pot is enough for everyone."
Han Luoxue put the base ingredients in, then added her homemade seasonings. A rich aroma wafted over, and the people in the courtyard couldn't help but sniff the air.
What is this? It smells amazing!
Mu Yurou had already eaten it once, but this time, the smell still made her swallow hard.
The scent is different this time, but it's still incredibly tempting.
"What are we having for dinner today? It smells so good! What delicious food did you make, sister?"
Han Mengze skipped and hopped in, and Xu Zixian followed, the two holding hands.
Xu Zixian is a bit taller than Han Mengze, about a head taller. He usually takes good care of Han Mengze.
"We're having hot pot today. You two hurry up and wash your hands, get ready, it'll be ready soon."
The last time we had barbecue, the grill hadn't been taken down yet, and Yunniang and Han Luoxue carried the pot outside.
Han Luoyu skillfully started a fire, and everyone moved a table over together, put the prepared ingredients on it, and soon the two large tables were full.
Everyone sat down around the hot pot. Han Luoxue put some meat in first and said with a smile, "Keep an eye on it. We can eat it once the soup boils."
Everyone was seeing this kind of pot for the first time and was very curious.
"Is this hot pot?"
Wang Yan pointed curiously at the strange pot, and Han Luoxue explained, "Yes, this is a hot pot. This kind is called a 'Mandarin Duck Hot Pot.' The red side is spicy, and the other side is milky white without chili. If you don't like spicy food, you can cook your food on this side."
"You can basically cook anything in this hot pot—fish, meat, vegetables, anything. Today I've prepared some leafy greens, as well as potato slices and sweet potato slices. You can eat whatever you want."
There weren't many leafy green vegetables available at this time of year, and Wang Yan and Mu Yurou were both amazed when they saw the lush green vegetables.
"Oh my, Sister Han, where did you buy these vegetables? They look so fresh," Wang Yan asked with a surprised look.
The key issue is that these dishes look unfamiliar to her; she doesn't seem to have seen them before.
"I'm not sure about that either. It must have been bought by someone in your household. The most convenient thing about this hot pot is that we can use whatever we have at home to cook it."
Han Luoxue quickly changed the subject. Just then, the soup in the pot boiled, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Wang Yan sniffed hard: "It smells so good! Even better than the last time I smelled it!"
