“Yeah, I know. Don’t worry.
“Alright then, I’ll head out now.” Zhou Ying then brought a pot of hot water into the courtyard and handed it to Kuihua.
Seeing that everyone was chatting happily, she didn’t go up and say anything. Instead, she called s.h.i.+zhu over and started to clean up the table.
She then placed the wine and sour plum soup aside.
When Gu Chengrui and the others arrived, they came in and bowed to Madam Consort An before returning to the outer courtyard.
However, what she did not expect was that the people who came were not only the ones they had invited. All the princes were here, and even the son of King Xian had come.
Fortunately, they had enough s.p.a.ce for everyone, albeit slightly cramped.
After they left, Zhou Ying immediately went to the kitchen and asked them to add another set of beef meatb.a.l.l.s for the men’s table; she also asked them to prepare more charcoal.
This time, when she returned, she carried a copper hotpot with her and placed it on the table.
Meanwhile, s.h.i.+zhu and Kuihua immediately turned around to serve the dishes.
When Mingyu saw this, she curiously pulled a stool over and sat down, asking. “Sister Zhou, what is this? And what’s inside? It’s red, smells spicy, and is slightly choking.
“Why does this yellow soup smell sour too?”
“Hotpot is one of the main dishes at the restaurant I opened in my hometown.” Zhou Ying explained to them in detail how to enjoy hotpot immediately.
“That sounds good! That way, we don’t have to worry about the food getting cold.” Madam Qin exclaimed in surprise.
“Indeed, my stomach can’t stand eating cold dishes in the middle of winter.” Madam Consort An nodded in agreement.
“It’s nice to hear everyone likes it. However, if you have any wounds or are heaty today, it’s best to eat less or not eat the spicy section. The sour-tasting soup beside it is also very delicious.” Zhou Ying reminded them and called everyone over to start their meal.
In the end, only Mingyu and Yang Wanning sat at the side of the spicy hotpot.
Zhou Ying didn’t say much when she saw this. They would know when they ate later.
The side dishes were served quickly. Because too many side dishes were on the table, most of the extras had to be placed on the dining table opposite them. Quickly, two maidservants took some chopsticks to help everyone place the food into the hotpot.
After the dipping sauce bowl was served, Zhou Ying took the shared chopsticks and placed some mutton slices into the two hotpots. “Everyone, you don’t have to be so polite. Just put whatever you want to eat into the pot.”
After saying that, she sat down.
After the mutton was cooked, it was ready to eat.
The women’s respective maidservants went up and picked up the cooked ingredients for their mistresses. After finis.h.i.+ng taking all of the cooked food out, they continued to put more in.
“Wow. After cooking it this way, not only did the mutton lose its gamey smell, but it also became especially tender and delicious.” Madam Consort An nodded in satisfaction.
In the past, she had been obsessed with pork, mainly because of the peculiar smell of beef and mutton. Now that she could perfectly remove this peculiar smell, it was not impossible for her to eat less or even no pork in the future.
At that moment, Mingyu picked up a piece of spicy mutton for the old madam and placed it in her bowl. “Grandmother, try this. It’s especially delicious and not as spicy as you think.”
Madam Consort An dipped a little sauce into the mutton, placed it in her mouth, and nodded repeatedly. “Indeed, this has a little spicy taste and is enjoyable to eat.”
When Consort Hui heard this, she immediately looked at her maidservant. The maidservant understood her intentions and picked up a piece of spicy mutton for her.
Soon, the Consort Hui liked the taste so much that she immediately got up to move her seat over.
When everyone saw this, they also started to take more of the spicy hotpot.
Madam Bai was the only one who stayed on the sour hotpot the entire time. She mainly ate beef and hadn’t touched the mutton one bit..
