Chapter 38 Whose hotpot is this the way to eat it!
Just when Qin Yunie's imagination was running wild, a man and two ghosts arrived at the door of one of the courtyards, and Niutou stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A little boy immediately opened the door. Niutou saw the little boy serving at the King of Hell's house and bowed, saying, "We are Niutou and Mamian, and we are here to bring Boss Qin here. This is Boss Qin, who has made an appointment with the King of Hell to come and cook."
The boy quickly opened the door and said respectfully, "The King of Hell has told Boss Qin that he is coming. Please come in."
The little boy led Qin Yunie and the others through a huge courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a rockery with a small bridge next to it. Under the bridge was running water that came from nowhere.
Although the yard is large, it is arranged very cleverly.
The more Qin Yunie looked at it, the more the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. This was simply her dream room!
If she could live here without having to worry about her life all the time, she would be very happy to live here!
Qin Yunie suppressed the corners of his mouth that kept rising and asked, "How much does this yard cost?"
Little boy: "None of these courtyards are for sale. The King of Hell likes quietness and doesn't like others living here. In recent years, only the Emperor of Dongyue has lived here. The two courtyards next to it are for temporary stays when guests come."
Qin Yunie was a little puzzled. The King of Hell was not the kind of person who spoke empty words!
Since he said he would keep one for himself, he could definitely sell one to her.
But the little boy said that this place is not for sale to the public, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons also said that the King of Hell and his men like quietness, so it seems that this place is indeed not for sale to the public.
So she nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The little boy led her to a wide room on the left side of the corridor, opened the door and said, "This is the kitchen."
Qin Yunie peeked inside from outside the door. This kitchen is really big.
This kitchen is quite spacious even if it is placed in the human world.
And a lot of the stuff inside looks high-tech, but it’s all very new.
The little boy walked in first and briefly introduced where the tableware was placed, so that Qin Yunie wouldn't get lost because he was unfamiliar with the place.
Qin Yunie nodded as he listened, and then the boy said, "The living room is next to it. If you need anything, just call me over there. The King of Hell won't be back until later. If you need anything, just tell me."
Qin Yunie nodded and said, "Okay, not for now."
The horse-faced man carried the ingredients she brought into the kitchen and placed them on the table, then asked, "Do you need help? I don't know how to do it."
Qin Yunie shook her head. "No, I've basically prepared everything at home. You can't help with anything else that needs to be made right now."
After the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons left the kitchen, Qin Yunie began to slowly take out the packed ingredients.
To prevent them from being crushed, she packed them all.
After taking out all the ingredients, start frying the hot pot base.
She asked Xie Bian in advance and they were all able to make fire by themselves, so she only brought a small pot.
Less than half an hour later, Xie Bian and his friends arrived.
They helped put the hot pot and their respective ingredients on the table.
Fan Wujiu sniffed, "What is this? It smells nice, and feels a little spicy."
The horse-faced man had licked his lips several times out of greed.
Qin Yunie explained: "This is called hot pot, a special dish of the human world, but it is a little bit spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, you can choose the simmered hot pot, which contains the clear soup I cooked in advance. But I didn't make it very spicy, you can try it. If you can't eat it, just eat the clear soup pot, it tastes good too."
"This is crispy pork. Brother Xie and the others should have eaten it last time. This is brown sugar rice cake, which is also delicious. After the soup boils over the fire, you can put these vegetables in and cook them. They can be eaten when they are cooked. It is especially popular in winter."
She gave them another bowl of condiments.
Ma Mian's eyes started to glow red with greed just by smelling and looking at it, "When can we start eating?"
Niutou nudged him with his elbow and reminded him, "The King of Hell hasn't come back yet."
Not long after he finished speaking, Yan Wenjing came back.
It seemed like he had been on a long journey, because she could vaguely sense a hint of coldness from him?
Yan Wenjing was wearing a black suit today, but he had a cloak on the outside, and his long black hair was scattered behind him. As he walked quickly, the cloak and hair fluttered in the wind.
Even though she couldn't see his face clearly, Qin Yunie could still tell from his actions that he seemed to be in a bad mood?
It wasn't just her. As soon as Yan Wenjing entered the room, the whole house seemed to have been paused for a moment.
All the ghosts shouted in unison: "Lord Yama."
Yan Wenjing took off his cape, revealing the black suit underneath. His expression showed no sign of calmness or anger. He glanced at the things on the table and said calmly, "Well, now that we're ready, let's start eating."
The little boy immediately took the cloak and hung it up. Qin Yunie noticed from the corner of her eye that his clothes were hanging right next to her thin coat.
Qin Yunie withdrew his gaze and complained in his heart: You haven’t come back yet, how dare we eat first?
This was not the first time Qin Yunie had dinner with Yan Wenjing, but this was the first time it felt so weird.
Is this what the legend says, that when dining with your boss you have to eat less?
However, the next second, Qin Yunie found something wrong.
There was only a small hot pot and various side dishes on the table, but no fire! !
What’s the point of eating hotpot without fire? ! !
Didn’t Xie Bian say there was fire?
Now the hot pot is ready, but how can she make it without fire?
Just when Qin Yunie was thinking about whether she should remind them that there was no fire on the table, if there was no fire, then how could she cook and eat this hot pot?
Something even weirder happened.
The small pots in front of all the ghost officials floated up by themselves, and a small flame started underneath, and the size of the flame could be adjusted by itself.
Qin Yunie: "...????"
This, this, this...
What is all this! !
She looked at the extremely strange scene in front of her with a confused look on her face.
Why does this seem less and less like the normal atmosphere for eating hotpot... ? !
Qin Yunie watched helplessly as a ball of red and blue flames floated under the small hot pot in front of them, illuminating their faces in a strange way...
Still weird...
Especially since the person sitting opposite her was the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon.
If Qin Yunie had not been the one who proposed this dinner party, she would have been so scared that she would have run away the moment she saw this scene! !
How can this be called hotpot? !
This is clearly more like a haunted place! !
If any normal person saw this scene! They would either faint out of shock, or run away like her. If they were too frightened to run, and they asked, “Are you okay?”
Qin Yunie didn't dare to imagine how horrible that scene was! ! !
At this moment, Qin Yunie wanted to say very much, if she had known that this was the meaning of "fire" that Xie Bian was talking about, she would definitely not choose to eat hot pot! !
After all, who eats hotpot this way! !
