Traveling through the ancient times

At this time, the shop assistants were busy. Nianchuhua personally carried the pot base over, added charcoal and set the pot for the king.

Looking at the movements of the New Year painting, the king couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there charcoal fire in it? Is this hot pot cooked fresh?"

"Yes, sir. Once the pot is boiling, you can put the dishes in to cook."

"Does every guest here cook for themselves?" He didn't know how to cook. He thought that as the king, he was busy with all kinds of affairs and had no time to learn how to cook!

"The way to eat hot pot is to eat it while it's cooking. Don't worry, I will always be here to cook for you. You just need to enjoy the food."

The ancients believed that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. These old men probably don't know how to cook, and the ladies have maids and old women to serve them, so they don't have to do any cooking. If they were really asked to cook for themselves, who knows what kind of trouble would happen!

So before the hot pot restaurant opened, Chushul Hua hired some servants and maids to receive training on how to cook hot pot. After the opening, each table had a waiter who was specifically responsible for controlling the fire and cooking.

The king was relieved when he heard that he didn't have to cook it himself. Li Changde had served him for decades, so he probably didn't know how to cook. It would be so awkward if the two of them stared at each other...

Nianchuhua went to the kitchen again to bring the dishes ordered by the king. The soup in the pot had begun to boil, so Nianchuhua put some dishes in.

After a while, the spicy smell wafted out along with the aroma of the food, causing the king's stomach to start rumbling. The king glanced at Nian Chuhua who was concentrating on cooking, and rubbed his stomach awkwardly.

[I know you're hungry. Isn't this food cooking? Why are you yelling?]

Nianchuhua pretended not to know the king's embarrassment and put the cooked beef into the bowl in front of the king, "Okay, please try it!"

The king could not wait to pick up the chopsticks and put the fragrant beef into his mouth, "Hmm~ Not bad, this is really a rare delicacy in the world, right? It's just a little spicy!"

"Spicy is the characteristic of hotpot. Eating more spicy food can dispel wind and dampness, which is good for the body."

"Does it still have this effect?"

"It does have some effect!" Nian Chuhua didn't want to continue talking to him. She couldn't explain it any more.

The king would eat a piece of the New Year's Eve dinner, and while shouting that it was too spicy, he stuffed the food into his mouth with a wheezing sound, and even drank several pots of herbal tea.

The king saw the maid at the next table cooked a black thing for the guest and put it in the bowl. The guest took a bite, closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he had eaten the most delicious food in the world. Then he looked up at his dish, it seemed like he had nothing?

"What is that?" the king asked, pointing at what was in the guest's bowl.

"What?" Nian Chuhua looked to the side.

"The black thing in the bowl of the man in blue."

"Oh, that's brains, would you like to try some?"

"Is it tasty?"

“It’s delicious!”

“Then give me one too!” Since everyone says it’s delicious, it must be right!

When Chushuhua brought a portion of fresh brains, the king asked, "Is this what he looks like?" It looked disgusting. Could he please not eat it?

Obviously it is not possible, because the brains have already been put into the pot at the beginning of the year.

After cooking, Nian Chuhua put the whole brain into the king's bowl and said, "Please enjoy!"

"What are the benefits of this brain flower?" the king asked and then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted pretty good!

"Eat brain to nourish your brain!" Nianchuhua said casually.

Uh…

The king stared at Nianchuhua with wide eyes, and the food in his mouth seemed to lose its fragrance all of a sudden. He didn't know whether to swallow it or not.

The eunuch Changde and the guards behind him were all shocked.

[This girl is really bold, she has a pig brain! ]

[How dare you tell the king that eating pig brains can improve your brain? I admire you! ]

[It’s over, it’s over, I’m going to flip the table…]

"People like us who use our brains a lot should eat more brains to make our brains work faster." Chushunihua did not notice anything unusual about the king and continued to brag to himself.

Turning around, Chushunhua saw the king staring at her, his mouth not moving, "What's wrong with you? Are you not used to the food?"

Chushuhua thought he just couldn't get used to it, but was too embarrassed to spit it out. "It doesn't matter. If you can't get used to it, just spit it out. I couldn't get used to it before, but after eating it a few times with my friends, I suddenly fell in love with the taste. It's simply delicious!"

Nianchuhua handed a plate to the king, motioning him to spit it out. He looked at the plate in front of him, closed his eyes, and swallowed it. "Does eating brains really nourish the brain?"

"Yes!"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Just, my friend!"

"Are you sure it has that effect?"

"I guess, right?" When Nianchuhua was asked this, she lost her confidence.

"..."

The king put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed to him by Eunuch Changde and wiped his mouth, then stood up and pointed at Nianchuhua, "It would be better to have..." and then left without looking back?

At the beginning of the year, I was confused. What happened to this person? Did he get angry when I said "eat brain to nourish the brain"?

Are you so petty?

The king returned to the Second Prince's Mansion with a grudge, and for the first time ever, Lu Mingcheng was also at home.

"Father, you are back. Can I have lunch?"

"Used..." The king said in a bad tone, sitting down on the armchair, as if he was sulking?

Lu Mingcheng scratched his head. What happened? Did he get bullied outside?

This is not right! If he has to suffer, he should be the one who makes others suffer. What kind of anger is he suffering from?

Lu Mingcheng looked at Eunuch Changde, who shook his head and stood behind the king, not daring to speak.

"Where did Father have his lunch? Did he try Qu Nan's specialties?"

"What special dish? I'm going to eat pig brains..."

what?

When Eunuch Changde saw the king speaking, he explained to Lu Mingcheng, "Your Highness, the king had lunch at Laweizhai today."

"Oh... Laweizhai, Laweizhai is good!" Did the king eat brains at Laweizhai? But why did he look so angry? Did they cook it badly? He thought it was delicious!

"What's good about it? What's good about it?" The king wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't know how.

"Father, do you know who the owner of this Laweizhai is?" Lu Mingcheng asked cunningly.

"I have only been here for a few days, how could I know all that?" The king looked at Lu Mingcheng's expression, "It couldn't be you, a stinky boy!"

"Of course it's not me. The owner of Laweizhai is your future third daughter-in-law, Nian Chuhua!"

"Really?" The king suddenly became excited. He thought the owner of Laweizhai was a capable person today, but he didn't know that she was his future third daughter-in-law? No wonder she could make his stone son bloom. He was right!

"Of course, she goes to the shop every day. Didn't you see her today?" Nian Chuhua goes to the store to help almost every day, so they should have met each other.

"Is it a tall and thin girl with big eyes and two dimples on her face when she smiles?" The king was very excited at this time. Thinking about it carefully, the other maids in the Laweizhai today were all wearing the same clothes, only that girl's clothes were different from the others.

"That's her! What do you think, Father? She's a very nice girl, right?"

The king nodded and said that he was indeed very good, with a sweet smile and was warm to people.

Today, his future third daughter-in-law personally cooked for him. The king thought happily and couldn't help smacking his lips. "Hmm, it tastes like pig brain, it's quite delicious!"

"That's right, eat some brain food to nourish your brain, and get some more some other day, hahaha..." The king smiled and walked towards the inner room. He had been strolling around for the whole morning, so he decided to take a good nap!

Eunuch Changde hurriedly followed. This king was becoming more and more unpredictable. He was just angry about the pig's brain, and now he was planning to eat it another day after just a short while?
