Princess Cheng didn't care about any of that; all she wanted to do was eat hot pot as soon as possible.
Without waiting for them to say anything more, he grabbed Lin Zao and headed back to Tingsongju, asking someone to bring up the prepared pot and ingredients.
"And remember to bring up those condiment bowls too."
Lin Zao only had time to leave those words before Princess Cheng pulled her away.
The two had barely sat down in the private room when the hot pots started being served one after another.
Because there are two types of pot bases, two charcoal stoves are placed on the table, and the pot bases are placed steadily on them, so there is no need to worry about them tipping over if you move too much.
Next came various hot pot side dishes; basically, Lin Zao had them prepare all the ingredients that Zui Xiao Lou had available.
After all, hot pot can cook almost anything.
All kinds of meat are sliced very thinly according to Lin Zao's requirements, so that they will cook quickly.
The various condiment bowls that Lin Zao had instructed were also brought up and placed aside, and the chefs thoughtfully prepared cooling tea drinks.
After everyone left, only Princess Cheng and Lin Zao remained in the private room. Even the maids and servants they had brought were driven out.
After all, eating hot pot is all about enjoying it to the fullest, so how could Princess Cheng let her servants see them looking pale and dazed?
"Can we eat now?"
Princess Cheng held the chopsticks, unsure of what to do next.
"No rush, let's prepare the dipping sauces we want first." Lin Zao pointed to the bowls next to her, which contained various dipping sauces.
"Anything you like can be added. Of course, if Your Highness doesn't know what to choose, I can also prepare a classic dipping sauce for you."
Princess Cheng looked at Lin Zao expectantly: "Then I'll have to trouble Madam Tang."
Thinking of Princess Cheng's tastes, Lin Zao prepared a spicy version and a sesame sauce version for her.
Her own is spicy and numbing spicy.
He placed the prepared dipping sauce in front of Princess Cheng and said, "Alright, we can start eating now. Put the meat in to cook first."
Lin Zao took out serving chopsticks and picked up slices of beef and mutton from the plate, putting them into the spicy broth, since Princess Cheng had been keeping an eye on the broth.
The meat changed color and floated to the surface shortly after being put in, which meant it was cooked.
As Lin Zao picked up the meat and put it into Princess Cheng's bowl, indicating that it could be eaten after being dipped in the sauce, she marveled in her heart at how well-deserved the reputation of the chef at Zuixiaolou was.
These slices of meat are so thin and translucent, and they are also very aesthetically pleasing. Coupled with the exquisite plating, even when they are raw, they do not affect the appetite.
His skillful knife work alone is something that countless people can only dream of.
"This hot pot is really delicious!" Princess Cheng had just put a piece of beef in her mouth when the fresh, fragrant, spicy and numbing flavors stimulated her taste buds. It was the first time in her life that she had tasted such a flavor, and she almost lost control of her image.
Lin Zao didn't hesitate either, putting her favorite dishes in and then scooping them out, her speed making Princess Cheng weep.
She's someone who's lived through the apocalypse; her eating speed is something she's developed through practice. Unlike the princess who grew up in luxury and ate in small bites, she's much faster.
Before long, the two of them were sweating, and with the heat of the stove, they both wanted to take off their clothes and continue.
Thankfully, the chef prepared some herbal tea; one sip and it tasted heavenly.
After they had finished eating and had the food cleared away, the two of them started discussing future business issues over hot pot.
"This hot pot is delicious, but it's placed a bit too high on the stove, making it inconvenient to pick up food unless a batch of lower tables are specially made."
The hot pot was perfect, but the table was a bit of a concern for Princess Cheng. After all, even with a low table, the guests probably wouldn't be used to it.
Lin Zao chuckled, "Your Highness, don't worry about the table. I know a type of table that's perfect for hot pot."
"Really? Tell me quickly!"
