Chapter 666 - Shameless Squad of Two (1/2)
“Beef is indeed a perfect match to hotpot,” said Jiang Changxi as she held onto a slice with her chopsticks and observed the changes going on.
The moment the rolled beef entered the boiling hotpot, it immediately unfolded. And in less than a second, it started wrinkling like a wave.
“Done.” Jiang Changxi lifted the slice up and without dipping into any sauce, she directly stuffed it into her mouth.
One did not need to be bothered about one’s image when eating hotpot. Therefore, Jiang Changxi directly stuffed the entirety of the beef into her mouth.
The moment the beef entered her mouth, a spicy sensation assaulted her senses. After chewing on it, the juice from the beef burst out, adding an aromatic flavor to the spicy flavor of the broth.
Spicy and fragrant, that was the taste of this beef.
“Hiss, so delicious, so spicy,” Jiang Changxi couldn’t help but to cover her mouth and said.
“Yeah.” By the side, Wu Hai who had just eaten a piece nodded his head repeatedly in agreement.
“This tofu is not bad,” Ling Hong pointed at the white tofu floating on the pot and said.
That’s right. A white tofu had appeared from the bottom of the bright red spicy broth, ebbing up and down on the surface.
The tender white tofu created a clear contrast against the glossy red, further whetting their appetite.
“Of course. I feel the same as well.” Wu Hai then picked one up, preparing to eat it.
“That’s mine,” Ling Hong glared at Wu Hai and resentfully said.
“No, no no. This is the tofu in the pot. Anyone can eat it. But this particular piece of tofu will definitely taste better,” Wu Hai said smugly.
“I hope the spice kills you,” Ling Hong said, still dissatisfied.
“I love spicy food.” Wu Hai directly stuffed the tofu into his mouth.
What was the tofu? Unfortunately for him, the tofu was a type of food that was the most absorbent, able to hold a lot of the spicy broth within. After smugly stuffing the tofu into his mouth, Wu Hai was immediately hurt by the scalding hot broth.
“Hiss, delicious. Hiss, it’s somewhat hot though,” Wu Hai said while gently chewing on the tofu.
He was right. The tofu would become more tender the longer it was boiled in the hotpot. Moreover, it had also absorbed a lot of the scalding broth in it.
The moment the fragrant and spicy broth burst out of the tofu, it filled Wu Hai’s mouth with an interweaving taste of the delicious broth, the sweet aroma of the tofu, and the tender sensation the tofu gave off when one chewed on it.
While swallowing the tofu, Wu Hai felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of boiling and spicy broth, an incomparably pleasant sensation.
“Delicious.” Wu Hai exhaled deeply.
“Yeah. I feel like it tastes even more powerful today,” Ling Hong said in agreement.
“I think it’s time to eat some duck intestines,” Jiang Changxi suggested all of a sudden.
“True,” Wu Hai immediately agreed with a nod the moment food was mentioned.
The duck intestines provided by Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were different than what other places provide. The intestines would be served in a tray. The tray had the markings of green leaves on it, while the duck intestines would be soaked in iced water, silently lying there and looking incredibly fresh, tempting one’s appetite.
“A hotpot is not worth having without some duck tripes,” Wu Hai picked up a duck intestine and said.
“A hotpot is not worth having without frozen beer,” Ling Hong continued after taking a chug off a newly opened can of beer.
“Who said that?” Yin Ya who was observing them by the side couldn’t resist and asked.
“Me.” Wu Hai immediately nodded his head.
“And me.” Ling Hong added.
“Why so?” Yin Ya asked in confusion.
“No idea.” Jiang Changxi shrugged.
“Fine.” Yin Ya did not say much.
