He Yang quickly glanced around and found a small note on the ground. He immediately opened it and read its contents.
It turned out that Zhang Lei, Zhu Yuanting, and Yu Shujin wanted to buy mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot).
Not only that, they wanted a serving of mala tang that cost 200 coins, which was the deluxe version!
Despite some unpleasantness he had with Zhang Lei and the other two in the past, He Yang was not going to turn down money under these circumstances.
Besides, he really didn't want to keep getting bitten by mosquitoes here. The sooner he sold out, the sooner he could pack up and go home.
So he quickly summoned Zhao Yi and Zhao Er and shouted, "Come and help me blanch the ingredients!"
Since the three of them hadn't specified what flavor of mala tang they wanted, He Yang came up with a plan and decided to give them an extra spicy and extra numbing one.
That way, they'll definitely be overwhelmed by the spiciness.
Ha ha!
In no time, three servings of fragrant mala tang were ready.
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi and Zhao Yunjin were engrossed in their conversation and were completely unaware of what was happening here.
When she saw He Yang and the other two carrying large wooden bowls full of spicy hot pot and walking towards the west side of the academy, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are you going?"
He Yang smiled slyly, a hint of smugness in his eyes: "Go feed the dogs!"
Moreover, there's more than one to feed.
Zhang Lei and his two companions agreed to meet him at the dog hole on the west side, where they would exchange spicy hot pot and money.
The scene of handing the spicy hot pot to them through the dog hole made He Yang burst out laughing, because he felt like he was feeding three lapdogs.
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
He Yang couldn't help but hum a little tune as he led Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, in a cheerful mood, toward the location of the dog hole.
Upon arrival, he whispered to the dog hole, "Zhang Lei, the spicy hot pot is ready; hand over the money first, and then I'll hand you the hot pot."
However, Zhu Yuanting seemed somewhat displeased, muttering, "Why can't you give us the spicy hot pot first, and then we give you the money?"
Upon hearing this, He Yang immediately retorted, "Can you smell the aroma of the spicy hot pot? If you keep dawdling like this, I'm not selling it to you."
Hearing this, Zhang Lei and his two companions had no choice but to obediently hand over the silver through the dog hole.
After receiving the silver, He Yang counted it with satisfaction, and then handed the spicy hot pot to them through the dog hole.
After receiving the hot pot, Zhang Lei, Zhu Yuanting, and Yu Shujin couldn't wait to find a secluded spot to sit down.
Under the bright moonlight, they began to devour the delicious food.
Yu Shujin quickly picked up a piece of duck blood and put it in his mouth. "What is this? The texture is very similar to tofu, smooth and tender with a bit of chewiness. It's delicious!"
He chewed on the duck blood with a satisfied expression on his face.
Zhu Yuanting was eating duck intestines. He picked up a long duck intestine, put it in his mouth, and gently bit it, making a crisp sound.
"Have you ever seen this before? It tastes incredibly crisp and delicious. You should try it."
Zhang Lei had already eaten several pieces of bullfrog meat. He savored the taste carefully. "I don't know what kind of meat this is. It's more tender than chicken or pork. The bones are also very small. However, the claws look a lot like the frogs that croak in the fields."
Zhu Yuanting didn't take it seriously. "Brother Lei, don't scare us. I've never heard of eating frogs in the fields. Yun Zhizhi probably wouldn't catch these things as food."
Yu Shujin ate while exhaling, his lips turning bright red from the spiciness. "It's too spicy, and my tongue is still numb."
Zhang Lei frowned slightly, suddenly realizing a problem: "Damn it, we didn't specify the flavor. That bastard He Yang must have added a lot of chili peppers."
At first, I didn't find it very spicy, but now I'm starting to feel it more and more.
As Zhu Yuanting ate, he chimed in, "This stuff is spicy, but the more you eat, the more addictive it becomes."
"But I've heard that mala tang has a wide variety of ingredients, including several kinds of meatballs. Why didn't I get to eat any?" He looked at the food in his bowl with a puzzled expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei and Yu Shujin immediately looked down to check the ingredients in their bowls, only to find that there were no meatballs in them.
They exchanged a glance, a sense of doubt rising within them simultaneously.
At this moment, He Yang was sitting by the stove, arms crossed, laughing heartily.
Zhao Er leaned close to Zhao Yi's ear and whispered, "That Fatty He is really ruthless. He chose meat dishes with very strong flavors for the three of them."
Zhao smiled and replied, "Not only that, but when seasoning, they also add a lot of oil, chili oil, and Sichuan peppercorn oil."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the happier those three are now as they are eating, the more painful it will be for them when they're in the toilet tomorrow!"
He Yang and the other two were grinning foolishly, while Yun Zhizhi was also busy, because someone wanted to chat with her about their hobbies.
Zhao Yunjin started to chat with her, asking, "Miss Yun, can you ride a horse?"
Yun Zhizhi shook her head: "No."
Zhao Yunjin then asked, "Do you want to learn?"
Yun Zhizhi shook her head again: "Not really."
All she can think about now is setting up a street stall.
Zhao Yunjin originally wanted to say that she could teach her to ride a horse, but she didn't expect her to kill the conversation so quickly.
He had no choice but to change the subject and ask, "So, besides running a stall, what else do you like to do?"
Yun Zhizhi barely thought for a moment: "Lying down like a salted fish."
"Haha! I was just joking. Actually, I read some books in my spare time to pass the time."
However, the book she was reading was a novel, which she bought from a virtual store; it didn't exist in this world.
Zhao Yunjin was somewhat surprised, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "There are many books in my manor. If you finish reading them, you can come to the Imperial Palace to borrow them."
The books in the palace certainly wouldn't suit her taste, but Yun Zhizhi couldn't very well refuse: "Okay."
At this moment, Zhao Yunjin suddenly approached Yun Zhizhi and reached out to remove the leaf that had fallen on her head.
There are dead leaves in your hair.
Yun Zhizhi was so startled by his action that she froze, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Especially the scent of cold plum blossoms on him, it smelled so good.
When Zhao Yunjin held out his hand to show the leaf, Yun Zhizhi stared intently at his large, well-defined hand.
Those hands are so slender and long, they're so beautiful!
It would be nice to touch it.
Zhao Yunjin was usually very observant, so how could he not notice that she was staring at his hands so intently?
Since she enjoyed watching it so much, he let her have her way.
After a while, Yun Zhizhi came to her senses and quickly looked away.
"Thank you... thank you, Sixth Prince."
Zhao Yunjin rarely saw her shy, so he chuckled and said, "No need to be so polite."
Yun Zhizhi felt that her behavior just now was too embarrassing, and her face turned red to the roots of her ears.
