Chapter 114 Hot Pot



"Then let's go together." Su Yanyue nodded in agreement, turned to look at the scenery outside the window, and saw Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying things. He was stunned for a moment. Why is he here too?

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Seeing Su Yanyue staring out the window in a daze, Su Yanxi curiously stuck his head out, but only saw people coming and going on the street.

"I think I saw someone I know. I wonder if I'm mistaken." Su Yanyue retracted his gaze and took a sip of the tea on the table. That person should be Zhan Yihan. He wondered if he was traveling in Yuncheng or attending the Hidden Sect Exchange Conference.

"Male? Or female?" Su Yanxi asked with a meaningful smile. Perhaps the one who could make Big Brother stare at her so mesmerized was a girl.

Su Yanyue curled his lips and smiled slightly, "It's a man. I met him on the train to Beijing. We got along quite well. His girlfriend's surname seems to be Su too."

"What a coincidence!"

"This is such a coincidence!" Su Yanxi and Su Yanqi said at the same time.

"I also think it's a coincidence. If it's him, maybe we will have a chance to meet again." Su Yanyue turned to look out the window, looked in the direction where Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue left and smiled faintly.

Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue returned to the courtyard, and Wei Yuanxing and others had also returned.

"Yihan, do you know how to light the coal stove? Ahem…" Wei Yuanxing was working on it in the yard. The smoke from the stove had already made his eyes red, but the stove still wouldn't light. He had asked other people, but no one knew how to light one.

"Hmm!" Zhan Yihan put the pots and pans in his hands on the ground, walked forward and took the tongs from Wei Yuanxing's hand, opened the air vent of the coal stove, and fiddled with the tongs in the coal stove a few times. The coal stove was soon ignited.

"So simple!" Wei Yuanxing said in disbelief. He had been working on it for a long time, not only did his eyes tear up from the irritation, but he also coughed for a long time.

"You'd better go wash your face." Zhan Yihan put down the tongs and looked at Wei Yuanxing's face with a smile.

"You've become a big tabby cat." Su Jinyue looked at Wei Yuanxing's face and couldn't help laughing.

Wei Yuanxing reached out and touched his face. Seeing a black mass on his hand, he rolled his eyes speechlessly. "I should have waited for you to come back. You made me look so black. It really damaged my image. Fortunately, there are no girls here."

"I'm not a girl?" Su Jinyue said with a smile.

"You don't count, you are taken. Besides, you only have Yi Han in your eyes. How can you see my handsome face?" Wei Yuanxing smiled evilly and winked at Su Jinyue, then walked towards the well.

Su Jinyue shook her head speechlessly. Seeing Zhan Yihan looking at her, she smiled at him. Indeed, in her eyes and heart, there was only Yihan.

Everyone started to work together, and when the moon was high in the branches, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of hot pot.

Everyone held small bowls and sat around the stove, occasionally putting some vegetables and meat into the pot to blanch.

"Su Jinyue, how did you make this soup base? How is it so delicious?" Wei Yuanxing took a piece of vermicelli and put it in his mouth, looking very happy. He had eaten hot pot before, but the hot pot soup base was not as delicious as Su Jinyue's.

"I put some Chinese herbs here to enhance the flavor." Su Jinyue used a slotted spoon to stir the bottom of the pot, picking up some broken Chinese herbal foam. "In addition to enhancing the flavor, these herbs also have the effect of replenishing qi." In her previous life, she loved making hot pot by herself, especially when it was late at night and everyone was asleep. It was very comfortable with a pot to herself.

"No wonder this soup base is different from what I've had before. I didn't expect Chinese medicine to have such effects." Lin Xufei said with a smile.

"Traditional Chinese medicine has many benefits. Besides being a hot pot soup base, it can also be used to make medicinal dishes," Su Jinyue said. When she was in the village, she would stew a pot of medicinal dishes for her master every morning. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she realized she hadn't called her master in two days. She knew her master must be waiting for her to call back. She would find the phone and give him a call tomorrow morning.

The courtyard door was pushed open with a "creak!" and Zheng Junhao and the other two walked in.

"It smells so good! What are you eating?" Zheng Junhao walked into the main hall and saw Su Jinyue and her group sitting together. He glanced at the pot in the middle of the group. These people seemed quite leisurely and elegant, actually enjoying hot pot.

"I heard that Master Zheng went to the Wuzhou Hotel for dinner, but why didn't he invite us? Could it be that Master Zheng was reluctant to spend money?" Wei Yuanxing said jokingly. For some reason, he couldn't help but want to confront Zheng Junhao when he saw him.

Zheng Junhao smiled nonchalantly, "How could that be? Am I such a stingy person? How about this, I'll treat everyone to a meal at Wuzhou Restaurant tomorrow at noon."

"Since Mr. Zheng said so, we won't be polite." Wei Yuanxing laughed.

"If you want to go, go by yourself. We don't have time to go to Wuzhou Hotel for the Hidden Sect Exchange Meeting tomorrow." Lin Xufei said coldly.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Master Zheng, you're being so insincere. Forget it, forget it, let's just take care of it ourselves." Wei Yuanxing picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth with a look of enjoyment. "It tastes great! This hot pot is much better than the food at the Wuzhou Restaurant."

Zheng Junhao clenched his fists slightly under his sleeves, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "I forgot about it too. After the exchange meeting, I will treat everyone to a meal." This Wei Yuanxing is really hateful. He targets him everywhere. If it were someone else, he would have had him beaten to a pulp long ago.

"Come, come, come, everyone, eat quickly. These vegetables will not taste good if they are too cooked." Wei Yuanxing used a spoon to scoop up a piece of freshly cooked vegetable and put it into his bowl.

"This hot pot is quite strong, but the chili powder is not spicy enough." Lin Xufei picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in some chili powder and put it in his mouth.

"Then I'll make it myself next time. I guarantee you'll enjoy it." Su Jinyue said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone ignored him, Zheng Junhao gritted his teeth and walked towards his room.

Everyone smiled at each other and enjoyed the meal even more.

As the night deepened, the occasional squeaking of mice could be heard from the yard.

Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan practiced for a while, then Su Jinyue took out two quilts and handed one to Zhan Yihan. If the two of them were to cover themselves with the same quilt, there would be the possibility of an accidental conflict at any time.

Zhan Yihan took the quilt, spread it out, and lay down. Seeing Su Jinyue lying down, he reached out to help her pull the quilt up, then pulled her into his arms. He had gotten used to sleeping with her in his arms these days, but he didn't dare to do anything too intimate before going to bed, otherwise he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be impulsive. In front of Jinyue, his self-control was almost zero.
