"Qi Ye, why haven't I heard of this hot pot you mentioned?"
Barbecue is easy to understand. It's similar to grilling meat. I usually grill a little bit, but the taste is not as good as what September and the others do. The method is also slightly different.
So what is hot pot?
"Haha, Brother Gu, you haven't heard of it before, but haven't you heard of it now?"
After listening to this, Gu Chengyan didn't say anything. He just watched Lin Jiuyue busy herself quietly and occasionally helped out.
After preparing the side dishes for the hot pot, Lin Jiuyue began to stir-fry the base ingredients.
The base material uses a lot of seasonings, and some of them are not found, but it doesn’t have much impact.
Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan followed behind Lin Jiuyue, talking and helping out.
As the seasonings were added to the pot, a sizzling sound was heard and the aroma from the pot slowly wafted out.
Lin Qiye sniffed.
"Brother Gu, can you smell the aroma of hot pot?"
Gu Chengyan looked into the pot.
“Isn’t this too much oil?”
"No, hot pot is heavy on the oil. By the way, Gu Chengyan, can you handle spicy food?"
Gu Chengyan frowned.
The meals I usually eat are relatively light. Although I can eat spicy food, I don’t eat much.
The wealthy families in the capital are the same. They usually eat light food. Even if they like to eat strong-flavored food, they will restrain themselves.
I only eat it when I’m at home. When I’m out, I basically don’t eat strong-tasting food.
Seeing that Gu Chengyan didn't say anything, Lin Jiuyue understood.
I heard that wealthy families eat light food and don't eat things like garlic. I'm afraid that when I go out and interact with people, the first thing I say will make others smell garlic and affect my image.
Looking at Gu Chengyan's appearance now, the rumors must be true.
"I'll prepare a bowl of clear soup later, and you can just eat the clear soup."
"No, I'll eat whatever you guys eat. You don't have to prepare anything for me."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Gu Chengyan in surprise.
This guy, doesn’t he care about his image?
"Do you eat garlic too?"
Gu Chengyan: ...
Garlic? This hot pot needs garlic?
"If you don't want to eat it, just don't add it when the time comes."
Seeing that Gu Chengyan was a little conflicted, Lin Jiuyue spoke.
Gu Chengyan thought that not adding garlic would affect Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye, so he replied with gritted teeth.
"Just like yours."
Now not only Lin Jiuyue, but even Lin Qiye looked at Gu Chengyan in surprise.
"Brother Gu, are you sure?"
Gu Chengyan nodded.
Although the smell of garlic is not very pleasant, it is not unacceptable to me. Besides, I am in this small village now and don’t need to go out. I just need to clean up after eating.
After the base ingredients were fried, Lin Jiuyue added the bone broth and poured the soup into the copper pot and placed it on the table dedicated to hot pot.
"alright."
Gu Chengyan: ...
Is this hot pot? The dishes on the table are still raw. How can you eat them raw?
"Just start eating like that?"
"Brother Gu, didn't I tell you before? Cook and eat at the same time."
After Lin Qiye finished speaking, he took the small bowl in front of Gu Chengyan and prepared a bowl of dipping sauce for Gu Chengyan.
"Here, Brother Gu, I didn't know what flavor you wanted, so I made you a bowl according to my taste."
Gu Chengyan looked at the layer of minced garlic on the surface of the bowl and frowned, but did not speak.
"Brother Gu, eat quickly, the dish is ready."
Lin Jiuyue thought that it was Gu Chengyan's first time eating hot pot and he didn't know how to eat it, so she took the lead in demonstrating.
While watching Lin Jiuyue and her brother eat, Gu Chengyan imitated them and started eating himself.
Soon, I started sweating from eating. I finally understood why Lin Qiye had said that hot pot was best eaten in winter.
After eating hot pot, Lin Jiuyue did not clean up the dishes, but called Gu Chengyan and Lin Qiye to the room.
"Sister, what's going on? Why are you closing the door? Why are you being so secretive?"
Lin Jiuyue took out the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Pill that she had made from her arms.
"This is for you."
Lin Qiye looked at the small bottle on the table curiously.
"What's this?"
Lin Jiuyue moved her lips and uttered a word.
"medicine!"
Lin Qiye: ...
I am not sick and do not need nourishment, so why would my sister give me medicine?
"Sister, I'm not sick."
Lin Jiuyue rolled her eyes at Lin Qiye.
"I know you're not sick."
"Then why did you give me medicine?"
After Lin Qiye finished speaking, he took the small bottle in his hand and played with it. Lin Jiuyue was worried that Lin Qiye would accidentally drop the bottle and the bottle would break.
It doesn’t matter if the bottle breaks, but I’m afraid the medicine inside will be lost.
"Be careful, the medicine in this small bottle is very valuable."
After hearing this, Lin Qiye immediately put the small bottle away.
"Sister, can you tell me what kind of medicine is in here? When you say it's valuable, how valuable is it?"
There are quite a few expensive medicines. If this medicine is worth a lot of money and I don’t need it when the time comes, can I exchange it for silver?
I wonder how much this medicine can be sold for? If the price is high, I'll ask my sister to find a way to get more.
"I don't know how valuable it is, but since you have this medicine, it's best not to tell anyone."
Lin Qiye curled his lips.
If I don't tell anyone, how can I exchange it for silver?
"Sister, you haven't told me how much silver this medicine will cost."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"I really don't know. I just know that these pills aren't sold outside."
Lin Qiye: ...
Does this mean that I won't be able to sell them in the future? What's the point of keeping those things?
"Sis, it's useless for me to hold it, so I'd better leave it to you."
Lin Jiuyue glared at Lin Qiye.
"The Nine-Turn Life and Death Pill can save people from the brink of death. Are you sure you don't want it?"
After hearing this, Lin Qiye opened his mouth in shock and looked at the small bottle on the table in disbelief.
This little bottle contains a pill that can bring someone back to life? No way! Is it really that magical?
"Sister, what are you talking about? Nine-turn Life and Death Pill? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"If you don't want it, give it back to me."
He had good intentions, thinking that his brother would go to the battlefield with Gu Chengyan. The battlefield was dangerous, and if he took the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Pill, he might be able to save someone's life at a critical moment.
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to be lying, Lin Qiye asked a few more questions uncertainly.
"Sister, you said this little bottle contains a pill called the Nine-Turn Life and Death Pill? And that pill can save people on the verge of death?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Well, if you don't want it, just give it back to me. I'll give it to you, Brother Gu."
