Du Xiao Li stayed in the room for a while, before a coming out. And after she came out, Leng Yi entered the house.
“Girl, what kind of great feast are you planning on preparing for us today? You can finally tell me now, right?” Leng Shi and the others were currently washing the vegetables they’d bought yesterday. They didn’t expect that one day, they would end up washing vegetables.
“Telling you is also fine, tonight we’re eating hotpot.” Du Xiao Li said.
“hotpot, what dish is that?” Leng San asked.
“The dish we’re going to eat tonight.” Du Xiao Li said.
Eh, wasn’t this just the same as not saying?!
Just then, the sound of the horse carriage suddenly came through, and a moment later, Leng Er and Du Xiu Heng arrived back together. Turns out, early in the morning, Han Ming Yi had sent Leng Er to the county seat to go pick up Du Xiu Heng. No wonder when Du Xiao Li came, she didn’t see him.
“Big brother!” Seeing Du Xiu Heng, Du Xiao Li was very happy and waved at him.
“Little sister.” Du Xiu Heng saw Du Xiao Li and quickly came to her side, saying: “Why did you come bother grandpa Niu again?”
“Haha, it’s us that’s gluttonous and wanted to let Li girl make something good for us.” Niu Jing replied with a hearty laugh.
“Today, we’re celebrating the holiday at grandpa Niu’s house.” Du Xiao Li said, “Don’t just stand around, come help wash the vegetables.”
“Alright.” Du Xiu Heng had his backpack placed inside the house, came to Du Xiao Li’s side, and began helping her.
By the time the vegetables were all washed and cut, it was already noon. Everyone casually made a bit of something to eat, then watched Du Xiao Li prepare the base ingredients for the hotpot while they waited.
As for the other side’s clear soup, Du Xiao Li used broth boiled from bones to make it, in addition to the mushrooms picked in the mountains to add flavor. Even if it wasn’t as alluring as the red soup, it was still enough to let Leng Er and the others drool.
Afterwards, Du Xiao Li had the garlic minced, the green onions chopped, and also had the soy sauce and whatnot prepared and placed on the chopping board.
“Done!” Du Xiao Li patted her own little hands and said.
“It’s done just like this?” Leng Er leaned forward to ask.
“En, later, just have everyone gathered, and then we can begin eating.” Du Xiao Li said.
A moment later, the ones that went to buy wine returned. Du Xiao Li then had someone add heated charcoals below the two pots, and afterwards, carried out. Then, she had the vegetables all carried out too.
“Everyone can come and eat now.” Du Xiao Li loudly shouted.
Hearing her voice, Han Ming Yi came out from inside. And after he sat down, the others all finally sat down too.
Leng Yi and crew, all seven of them, sat together at one table, while Han Ming Yi, Ji Liu Feng, Niu Jing, Du Xiao Li, Du Xiu Heng, and Luo Qi sat together at another table. Du Xiao Li first took her bowl to the place where the condiments were placed and made herself a sauce bowl. The others also imitated in succession, carrying their bowl to go make a sauce.
Du Xiao Li placed the sauce she just made in front of Han Ming Yi and said, “Big brother Yi, too spicy things aren’t good for your body, so just eat the pot with the clear soup. Also not too much hot pepper, ginger, and garlic were placed in this (sauce).”
