Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with colorful clouds.

When everyone arrived at the backyard, they sat down on the tables and chairs that had been set up.

Fortunately, the backyard of the village chief's mansion was large enough to accommodate the twenty-three large round tables with some space left.

There are also two long charcoal grills next to it.

The seven gourd brothers who had just changed their clothes were stunned by the scene before them. How many people were there, shoulder to shoulder?

My goodness, when did so many people appear in this village owner's mansion? Why didn't I see them when they came in?

Lin Xiaoyue didn't let the seven people stay in a daze for too long, and quickly waved to them to sit over.

A total of 23 large round tables were set up. The main and secondary tables were occupied by Lin Xiaoyue, Doctor Qiao, Doctor Li, Chun Xing, the mute medicine boy, Xiao Cao, Er Gou, Wu Qianhu and the two soldiers he brought with him, and the seven gourd brothers from Wanbao Town.

The remaining twenty-one tables were occupied by the five people from the Zeng family who had just been arranged to move to this farm, and more than two hundred guards.

I saw that each table was filled with several plates of lamb, pork, bone marrow, brains, squid, various small fish, shellfish, lettuce, mushrooms, radish, tofu, dumplings, etc.

There are many dishes, but... they are all raw...

Are they going to make them eat raw meat and drink blood? Just thinking about it makes me feel nervous.

Everyone had different expressions, but they all held back and didn't speak first.

Looking again, there was a big hole in the middle of each table, and inside it was a big copper pot shaped like a bagua. One side contained white bone soup, and the other side contained chili and red oil soup, bubbling away.

The fragrance filled the whole yard, and it seemed to spread two miles away, making people drool.

Even Doctor Qiao and Doctor Li, who were usually the calmest, couldn't help but sniff hard.

After asking everyone to sit down, Lin Xiaoyue began to introduce the dishes. On one side was the broth made from large bones, and on the other side was the bright red spicy soup base.

In this way, those who can eat spicy food can eat it, and those who can't eat spicy food can eat the broth, which gives everyone room to choose.

As for the beef oil spicy soup base, I'm sorry, beef was very precious in this dynasty, more precious than people. If you wanted to kill a cow and eat it, that's like hanging yourself, seeking death.

Considering that everyone in the audience could hear her, Lin Xiaoyue spoke in an extremely exaggerated manner at the dinner table. She held a loudspeaker in one hand and chopsticks in the other. As she spoke, she picked up a piece of thinly sliced ​​mutton with chopsticks and put it into the copper pot where the red waves were rolling.

Everyone knows that mutton has a strong smell, so few people in the Dayuan Dynasty are willing to eat mutton.

But no one knew how Lin Xiaoyue handled it. After rolling around in the spicy oil soup for a few rounds while everyone was covering their noses and sneezing, the bright red flesh color became slightly darker. She picked up the chopsticks, blew on it near her lips, and then put it into her mouth.

He was breathing heavily, chewing the meat in his mouth quickly, squinting his eyes, and looking like he was enjoying it extremely.

Although the people at the tables farther away could not see what Lin Xiaoyue was eating, the sound of her sizzling meat was heard by everyone through the loudspeaker.

More than 200 people present: …

After swallowing it in a few bites, he slowly said to everyone, "Hotpot is to put these raw foods directly into the soup and boil them for two times. Once they are cooked, you can eat them directly. It is not difficult. The key is to grasp the timing of cooking. Everyone, feel free to try it."

When everyone saw this, they were all confused and looked at each other in astonishment. This... this... is it edible?

Lin Xiaoyue ignored the confused and dazed faces of the crowd, quickly picked up a few slices of meat and put them in the pot to cook, and ate them by herself with a sizzling sound, enjoying it very much.

We use practical actions to tell everyone that it is edible and delicious. If you don’t eat it, you will miss this village and there will be no such shop.

Watching Lin Xiaoyue's smooth movements, everyone felt their scalps tingling and their faces turned green, expressing their utmost resistance to this so-called "hot pot".

Everyone hesitated slightly as they looked at the copper pot that was constantly boiling and emitting steam. Only Xiaocao swiftly picked up the chopsticks and imitated Lin Xiaoyue, picking up the dishes, putting them into the pot, and rinsing them back and forth.

Everyone looked at Xiaocao in shock, seeing her bravely stuffing the meat on the chopsticks directly into her mouth as quickly as possible.

At that moment, everyone's eyes widened, and they seemed to hear the booming, extremely strong sound of fireworks called true love.

Following closely behind was Chun Xing, then Er Gou, Doctor Qiao, Doctor Li..., pairs of chopsticks began to dig into the pot frantically, and in the blink of an eye, two plates of meat on the table were cleared.

Needless to say, like everyone who has eaten hot pot in modern times, I was completely captivated by the rich aroma.

The rich and extremely delicious soup splashes between lips and teeth.

Oh my god, what kind of magical lamb is this?

Is this the mutton that they have always looked down upon and despised? ? ?

Where is the fishy smell? Why is it gone?

Some are extremely strong, full of freshness and fragrance, the lamb is soft and tough, but not too chewy, and has a perfect taste that is irresistible...

They have been despising and complaining about such delicious meat for so many years. They have been living in dogs' stomachs for most of their lives.

……

As a result, the table became lively and everyone was waving their chopsticks desperately.

One after another, soon, several plates of meat on the table were cleared away.

Everyone's taste buds were fully aroused. The more they ate, the more excited they became. They looked at the broth boiling in the copper pot with lustful eyes.

The unsportsmanlike Doctor Qiao snatched the boiled meat directly from the chopsticks of the unsuspecting Doctor Li and the mute medicine boy.

Doctor Li was originally cooking the meat and vegetables by himself, but he found that the old man's hand speed was no match for the young man, and there was also a shameless doctor Qiao next to him who actually snatched the meat from his chopsticks. Doctor Li, who was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, also began to follow Doctor Qiao's "evil ways".

"Hey, Doctor Li, that's my meat, why are you trying to grab the meat from my chopsticks?"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, I haven't even taken two bites, don't snatch it away, just eat it yourself."

"Fuck, Lin Sanya, can you dare to eat faster? I haven't even taken two bites yet, and you finished the whole plate by yourself."

"Xiao Cao, please eat slower. Don't learn from the Third Girl who eats too fast. Girls should be more elegant."

"Sun Wanjin, let go of that piece of meat and let me come."

"Hey, you dare to snatch food from your grandfather's mouth. You must be tired of living."

"All of you get out of my way. I'm so pissed off. If I don't get any food, I'm going to flip the table."

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys have no moral principles. Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?"

"Let go of that piece of meat, it's mine!!!"

……

The huge backyard of the village chief's mansion was filled with the extremely hot and rich aroma of hot pot, and the food on each table was quickly decreasing.
