Xue Huan was preparing the sauce for Pei Ji. Seeing him coming, she called out, "Prince Ning is here? Come and sit down."
Pei Qian greeted with a smile, leaned over and took a deep sniff, "What a nice smell!"
There is also a hot pot restaurant in Beijing, which is a branch opened by the Ye family here. The recipe was provided by Xue Huan, and she doesn't care about the rest. She can get a 10% share of the profits every year.
Pei Qian also had a hand in it. He had eaten there quite often, so he was quite familiar with the process of eating hot pot. He went to the side and prepared the sauce that suited his taste.
The sauces are very complete. Pei Qian's taste is more like that of a northerner, so he added a lot of sesame paste. It is so fragrant that it makes your tongue knotted when you eat it.
"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect that you're not only an expert at pitching pots, but also such a great cook. I'm in for a treat. How did you prepare the base of this hot pot? It feels even better than the one at Yingxianlou."
Nowadays, hot pot has spread to many places, and hot pot restaurants are everywhere. After all, hot pot is simple to eat, and diners will know what it is like after eating it a few times, and they can make it themselves when they go home. It’s just that the sauce and the base of the pot are the secrets of the restaurant, which are not easily understood by customers.
As a shareholder of Yingxianlou, Pei Qian asked this question with a hint of inquiry.
I want to see if it is possible to buy the recipe from Zhao Yu.
"Really? Maybe it's because the soup base is cooked just right? I used beef bones to simmer this spicy beef hotpot all night." Xue Huan used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of mutton for him. "If it tastes good, eat more."
In fact, she had added a drop of spiritual spring water when she was cooking the soup, which enhanced the flavor of the ingredients. But of course, she would not say this.
If she wasn't afraid that Pei Qian couldn't handle it, she would have used the ingredients in the space directly. That would have been a truly delicious meal.
However, the spiritual food in the space tastes good, but it contains abundant spiritual energy. It is very tonic for cultivators, but mortals may not be able to tolerate it.
In mild cases, it may cause abdominal pain due to detoxification and constant diarrhea, while in severe cases, the body may explode and die.
Especially since Pei Qian had been eating ordinary food before, and a lot of turbid air had already accumulated in his body, the first reaction might be more intense.
Seeing that Xue Huan didn't want to say more, Pei Qian didn't ask any more questions. Just as he was about to put the meat into his mouth, he felt a cold gaze sweep over him from the opposite side.
"Third brother, do you want to eat?" Seeing Pei Ji staring at the meat on his chopsticks, Pei Qian felt his scalp tingling and tentatively put the meat into his bowl.
Pei Ji looked disdainful and said, "No need, just eat yours."
Pei Qian ate it, but he felt a chill on his back. What happened to his third brother? He wouldn't hold a grudge against him just because of a piece of meat, right?
He thought about it for a long time, and when he saw the handsome and beautiful Zhao Yu opposite him, he suddenly understood something!
Could it be that Third Brother is jealous? Just because Zhao Yu gave him a piece of meat!
Soon, his guess was confirmed.
"The tripe is cooked. Here you go." Xue Huan put the dish into Pei Ji's bowl very naturally, using her own chopsticks.
Pei Ji, who was originally a little unhappy, suddenly became calm. Although he did not smile, the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was about to overflow.
He happily picked up the piece of tripe and ate it.
Pei Qian, who took in this scene, said: "..."
It felt like a full bowl of dog food was stuffed into my stomach.
He couldn't help but hiccup.
Pei Qian didn't feel a bit satisfied with the hotpot. The food itself was delicious, especially the beef meatballs and shrimp balls. He finished the whole plate by himself.
It’s just that the gay couple across the street are too unrestrained and openly show their affection in front of him!
Passing food to each other was nothing. The third brother even wiped Zhao Yu's mouth, poured water, rolled up his sleeves, and flipped his hair!
It would be fine if Third Brother didn't get it, but once he did, it was amazing!
As a younger brother, shouldn't he remind him?
But how to start? Pei Qian was in a dilemma.
Before he could think of anything, Xue Huan spoke first: "Prince Ning——"
"No, Brother Zhao is Third Brother's best friend. Wouldn't it be too formal to call me Prince Ning? Just call me A Qian."
Xue Huan was about to say yes when Pei Ji said, "Just call me Xiao Wu."
Pei Qian: "..."
Third brother, you're really too crazy! What's wrong with calling him "A Qian"? Are you jealous of that?
He's called "Xiaowu" and he's not some random person!
Of course, Pei Qian only dared to feel sad and angry in his heart, but in reality he didn't dare to say a word.
Xue Huan pinched Pei Ji's leg under the table, signaling him not to go too far. Pei Ji took the opportunity to hold her hand. She tried to pull it back but failed, so she simply stopped struggling to avoid letting Pei Qian notice.
That would be embarrassing.
"Xiao Wu, I'd like to ask you for a favor." Xue Huan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Of course, I won't ask for your help for nothing. I owe you one."
How could Pei Qian dare to take on this responsibility?
"Third sister-in-law, ah no, Brother Zhao, if you want me to help you with something, just tell me. Forget about the favors, that's too formal."
How could he dare to let his third sister-in-law owe him a favor!
Xue Huan blinked. Did she hear it wrong? Pei Qian actually called her "Third Sister-in-law"? Could he have seen through her illusion? No way!
But she was confused by the situation. She thought that the relationship between her and Pei Ji was normal and they didn't cross the line. After all, Pei Ji usually hugged or kissed her, which was called love. Now they were just good friends.
But to outsiders, Pei Ji and her were simply too close!
Before he met her, Pei Ji not only kept his distance from women, but also kept strangers away. When had he ever been so caring and accommodating to someone? When had he ever gazed at someone with such tenderness?
No!
If this isn't love, then what else could it be!
Xue Huan didn't dwell on this. "I heard you say before that you have a good relationship with Mo Shiqi. I want to meet him. Can you introduce him to me?"
Speaking of this, Pei Qian felt a little guilty. In fact, his relationship with Mo Shiqi was not as good as he said. The two of them just happened to have cooperated a few times.
But now that "Third Sister-in-law" has come to him and begged him for help, if he tells the truth, won't he feel that he is shirking responsibility?
"Well, I do have some influence in front of Mo Shiqi. I can help you make an appointment with him, but I'm not sure if he will see you. After all, the Mo family members are quite solitary and don't like to interact with others."
Anyway, let me be frank first.
Xue Huan: "Thank you very much. Even if it doesn't work out, I won't blame you."
She took out a bottle of rejuvenation pills and handed them over. "This is a kind of healing pill I made myself. It can be applied externally for external injuries and taken internally for internal injuries. It's a small token of my appreciation."
Pei Qian took the medicine and asked, "Brother Zhao, can you also make medicine?"
"I can practice some simple ones." Xue Huan said modestly.
Pei Qian put the medicine away and chatted for a while before standing up to say goodbye. "If there's good news, I'll send someone to tell Brother Zhao right away."
