At the Peach Banquet, the God of Food prepared a feast while explaining to the other gods, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, and all the other gods, the dish I'm making today is called hot pot. This type of pot is also called a mandarin duck pot. Feel free to add whatever you want to the pot. Once it's cooked, you can enjoy it!"
"Hot pot? What is that?"
"Mandarin duck pot? Mandarin ducks are clearly two birds! When did it become a pot?"
The gods had never seen this way of eating before, and were extremely curious for a moment. They all stared blankly at what the God of Food and his little brothers were doing.
"Hey! We've never seen anything like this hot pot before. Don't be surprised if this God of Cookery has actually come up with a new dish today. It's not like the same old recipe in previous years!"
Nezha, the great god of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, looked at the hot pot in the mouth of the God of Food with curiosity and talked to his elder brother beside him.
"Hmm!" Jin Zha also nodded and said, "I just don't know how this tastes. I hope it doesn't taste the same as last year. It's really hard to swallow!"
"Oh my! This old God of Cookery has really come up with something new. I was thinking of just taking the peaches and leaving, but today I, Old Sun, really have to try this hot pot thing!"
The monkey was also scratching its ears and mumbling.
As the water boils, the hot pot seasoning is added and the aroma of the hot pot slowly spreads.
The first to move was the Sky-Howling Dog beside Erlang Shen. This dog had the most sensitive nose and was the first to smell the aroma of the hot pot. This time, he was shocked. His tongue immediately stuck out and he stretched his head to look at the hot pot with a greedy look on his face.
The smell was so delicious. It had not held any hope for the so-called new dishes from the God of Food. It just closed its eyes and waited for the banquet to be over so that it could ask the host for a piece of peach. But it didn't expect the fragrance to be so lingering.
Seeing Xiaotian Dog like this, even Erlang Shen Yang Jian, who had always been arrogant, took him seriously.
What hasn't this dog smelled and eaten in thousands of years? The fact that he has this expression today shows that the God of Cookery's new dish, called hot pot, is really quite good!
As the aroma grew stronger, this time not only Roaring Sky Dog, but many gods with sensitive five senses could smell the aroma emanating from the pot. It was a unique and refreshing fragrance that was different from the usual food aroma and whetted one's appetite.
Even the Queen Mother showed a smile on her face. It seemed that the God of Food really did not disappoint her. Even she herself was a little longing for this taste.
The God of Cookery saw that the soup was almost ready, and then he said, "Your Majesty the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and all the immortals, the hot pot soup base is ready. If you want to eat anything, you can put it in directly!"
The God of Cookery pointed at the simmered hot pot and said, "If you prefer spicy food, use the red soup. If you prefer lighter food, use the clear soup."
As soon as the God of Cookery finished speaking, the monkey over there hurriedly grabbed a handful of mutton and put it in.
The Jade Emperor looked at it with a helpless look. He, the head of the Heavenly Court, hadn't even reached out yet, but this monkey had already started. This monkey was just trying to embarrass him.
Glancing helplessly at the monkey who didn't take him seriously, the Jade Emperor coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, start eating!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the freshly cooked mutton and stuffed it into his mouth!
"Hmm! I say you old man really have some skills, this hot pot is really good! It suits my taste very well!"
As he spoke, the monkey couldn't wait to grab a few handfuls of fatty beef, vegetables, seafood and other things and put them all in.
"Hey! Great Sage! There's some dipping sauce here, it tastes even better when you dip it in!"
Although the monkey is now the Fighting Buddha, the gods in heaven still like to call him the Great Sage. After all, Holy Buddha is a Buddhist title, and the monkey's official position in heaven is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
"Hmm! Great!" After hearing this, the monkey dipped the sauce in the water and it tasted even better. He exclaimed that it was delicious and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls!
Seeing the monkey eating so deliciously, the gods couldn't help themselves. They quickly picked up the ingredients and put them into the hot pot. After all, the Jade Emperor had spoken, so it wasn't considered rude.
The first to make a move was Roaring Sky Dog. Since the monkeys were already eating, how could it be left behind? It had been salivating over the taste for a long time!
Damn, this tastes amazing, it's so delicious! A dog's thoughts.
Next is Zhang Guolao. He was a foodie before he became an immortal. He became an immortal because he stole the immortal root. Now as one of the Eight Immortals, he can't change his greedy habit.
"Wulian Tianzun, this hot pot is so delicious! The taste is definitely something I have never tasted before! Ouch, it's spicy enough!" Foodie Zhang's mouth is already full of oil!
"Not bad, not bad! But I still think the clear soup is better, the red soup is too spicy." Han Xiangzi interjected.
With the hot pot served at the Peach Banquet, the gods enjoyed it with great joy.
The tall and strong giant spirit god was stuffing food into his mouth with one hand, while continuously putting food into the pot with the other hand. He almost picked up the pot and used it as a bowl.
Yang Jian no longer maintained his arrogance, and directly took a large plate of food and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls. The saliva in his mouth sprayed onto Xiaotian Dog's fur.
Xiaotian Dog felt that he couldn't snatch the food from his master, so he secretly came to the table of the Eight Immortals and started eating and drinking.
Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu were showing their affection by feeding each other food. Just as they took out a large chopstick of cooked meat from the pot, a dog appeared, ate the meat in the chopsticks, and then ran away!
Lü Dongbin's face darkened, and he looked at Erlang Shen and roared, "Yang Jian, take care of your dog!"
Yang Jian was enjoying his hotpot, but he just rolled his eyes when he heard this. No one paid any attention to him and he just ate his own food. It would be better for him to eat alone without any dogs snatching the food from him!
At this moment, Howling Sky Dog suddenly returned, speaking in human language and roaring, "Lü Dongbin, how dare you eat dog meat!"
Obviously, the big piece of meat that Xiaotian Dog snatched from Lu Dongbin just now was dog meat.
Xiaotian Dog put the food in his mouth and tasted it, but he felt something was wrong, so he immediately spat it out, staring at Lu Dongbin with an angry face and flaming eyes!
The gods nearby burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Over there, Li Tianwang and his family were eating even more happily. Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, even threw the exquisite pagoda in his hand aside and picked up the chopsticks with both hands.
As for Nezha, the great god of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, he was so excited about eating that he displayed his magical power of three heads and eight arms, and placed three hot pots around him and ate them at the same time.
The Weaver Girl, who was leading the seven fairies in a dance, became extremely greedy when she smelled the hot pot. After a quick dance, she ran to the Cowherd and showed her foodie nature.
Niulang's entire family came, even his little granddaughter Niu Tongtong, who was now eating with oil dripping from her mouth and her eyes narrowed into slits.
