Since discovering hot pot as a novel way to eat, Lola seems to have unlocked a whole new world of culinary wonders. Creamy jelly shrimp hot pot, ice cream cake hot pot, strawberry cake hot pot, coffee and black tea hot pot...
Xu Milu even saw Lola and Sunny eating chocolate cake in a spicy hot pot.
She swears that her expression at the time was exactly like that of the old man on the subway looking at his phone.
"No, no, no, the oil in the spicy broth combines with the sweet cream, creating a continuous stimulating sensation in the mouth. The holes in the cake perfectly absorb the spiciness of the mandolin, the rich and slightly bitter chocolate, the spiciness of the mandolin, and the addition of fruit is simply a stroke of genius. This is truly an unparalleled delicacy!"
Lola held her face in her hands, looking dreamy, while Xu Milu, who was shearing the cloud sheep, could hardly believe her ears:
"You bought your position as an elder of the Food Association, didn't you??? This is truly culinary monstrosity!"
Chocolate cake with spicy hot pot—if Lola were lucky enough to go to the Sichuan-Chongqing region, she would definitely get a good beating from the angry people there.
I'd be doing a disservice to all the chili peppers that Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot restaurants use every year if I didn't beat you up!
Xu Milu finally understood those Italians who put pineapple on pizza.
A half-and-half hot pot was already the absolute limit, and you actually added cake to it?!
It's almost as good as strawberry mapo tofu.
"Strawberries? Mapo tofu? What are those? They sound delicious."
Lola's eyes lit up: "It seems the god of food is still looking out for me, because I've run into you. Tell me, what other delicacies are there in your hometown?"
Xu Milu looked helpless: "I'll tell you when I have the chance later."
After spending the last few days together, she discovered that Lola, despite her seemingly intimidating appearance, was actually a pure foodie who was good at making sarcastic remarks and lacked the elegance and nobility of the fairies in fairy tales.
She never imagined that an elf could be so talkative.
"All right."
Seeing that Xu Milu was trying to tempt her with novelties, Lola finally gave up. Sunny, who was leaning on Lola's shoulder, peeked out shyly and asked in a soft voice:
"What is Miss Milu doing catching these cloud sheep?"
Xu Milu was shearing the wool off a white sheep. This sheep was pure white with long, fluffy, curly wool that looked like clouds. It had a small face and a pair of cute, black, beady eyes.
"Baa—"
[Cloud Sheep: An extremely docile domestic animal, all parts of which are edible and the meat is non-toxic. It feeds on the sugars found in grass roots. As adults, they develop a web-like wool composed of sugar threads, which is edible and has a sweet taste.]
"If I make you really delicious dessert hotpot and you keep eating like Lola, you won't be able to tell what truly delicious food is anymore."
Xu Milu refused the maid's help, her scissors flying up and down, gently slicing along the sheepskin, and the delicate scissors landed lightly and softly in the basket beside her.
The most amazing thing about this sheep is that it doesn't excrete. The sugar it eats only grows into fluffy wool. If it eats strawberries, the wool that grows will be light pink like strawberries. If it eats chocolate, the wool that grows will taste like chocolate.
In Mandolin, every household keeps a cloud sheep as a snack for their children.
It's simply amazing.
"Dessert hot pot?"
Sunny's eyes lit up with curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke up, "Then, then I'll help too..."
Seeing the princess about to shear the sheep herself, the maids on the side were a little nervous, but Lola stopped them with a look, so they had to step aside and not say a word.
Xu Milu pretended not to see the maid's worry. Little Sunny is sixty years old this year, which is a fourteen-year-old girl according to human calculation. Perhaps her half-human, half-dwarf blood makes her look a little weak, but in reality, she is not as weak as everyone imagines.
"Click, click, click."
As the shears moved, handfuls of wool fell into the basket, and little Sunny's face flushed with excitement.
"Miss Milu, may I play with your friends later?"
The "friend" she was referring to was none other than Ah Chou, who had been sleeping soundly on Xu Milu's shoulder.
"sure."
Xu Milu flicked Ah Chou's butt, and before the bewildered clown turtle could figure out what was happening, she put him on the ground.
"It's so lucky to be able to go on adventures with Miss Milu and search for all sorts of interesting ingredients together."
Sunny gently stroked Ugly's shell, her eyes filled with envy: "If only I could become an excellent gourmet hunter like my mother and Miss Milu!"
Xu Milu's heart softened, and she gently patted Xiao Sunny's head, afraid of rubbing too hard: "Of course, you definitely will."
Sunny was slightly surprised at first, then her whole face turned the color of tomato sauce from embarrassment:
"Thank you, Miss Mi-Mi-Lu."
...
...
Having promised to make a dessert hotpot for Sunny and Lola, Xu Milu certainly wouldn't break her word.
Dwarves are all skilled craftsmen. Xu Milu simply described the shape of the hot pot, and that afternoon the kitchen delivered a perfectly shaped hot pot.
Light the charcoal stone to heat it, and Xu Milu cut off a large piece of butter and heated it in one of the pots. She chopped the chocolate into small pieces and poured it into the melted hot butter, stirring quickly until the chocolate and butter were perfectly melted and turned into a silky, thick black liquid.
Xu Milu didn't waste the free time on the other side either. She used a kitchen utensil to shred a piece of cheese the size of a wheel into thin strips, and piled up snowflake-like cheese crumbs in the pot, forming a cheese mountain.
As the temperature of the pot rises, the cheese mountain inside begins to melt, becoming soft and elastic. Stirring it with chopsticks will cause chewy, stringy cheese to be pulled up high.
