Two days later, the three little guys followed the little prince into the Imperial College.

As soon as I entered the classroom, the students sitting inside stopped writing.

The little prince hasn't been here for a long time.

"Your Highness, where have you been all this time? Why haven't you come over yet?"

"Yeah, we haven't seen you for a long time."

As they asked, their eyes couldn't help but fall on Chu Jinzhou and the other three.

These three men were good-looking to begin with, and with the Queen's careful dressing, they looked like young masters from wealthy families.

"Whose sons are you? Why haven't we seen you before?"

Before Chu Jinzhou and the others could answer, the young prince waved his hand and said, "They are not the sons of any family. They are my benefactors! They saved my life!"

When he said this, the whole audience was stunned.

The prince's savior?! Such a person should not be looked down upon even if he is just a commoner with no status.

"Hello you guys!"

Chu Jinnian greeted them with a smile. The people in the Imperial College were of different ages. The oldest ones were probably twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest were about the same age as Chu Jinnian.

"Hello."

After the two sides introduced themselves, they quickly became familiar with each other.

The three brothers originally thought that these people might be difficult to get along with, but perhaps because of the little prince, they all behaved very friendly.

Over the next few days, the three little guys became completely familiar with them.

He even took a large group of classmates to the palace where they were temporarily staying to eat hotpot with the permission of the emperor and empress!

"Have you ever eaten hot pot?"

The three little guys were busy preparing side dishes, but they didn't forget to ask.

"What is hot pot? We have never heard of it."

“Is the hot pot delicious?”

The little prince drooled, "Delicious! Very delicious!"

Although these young masters are not particularly fond of food, they are still curious and expectant.

"Yer, where did you buy this beef? Can you buy beef in Kyoto?"

Chu Jinzhou asked curiously while instructing the palace servants to cut beef.

The little prince nodded, "Of course you can buy it. You said this morning that you would treat everyone to hot pot, so I immediately asked someone to go out of the palace to buy it. It's very fresh! We also have tripe! I've asked someone to prepare the duck intestines!"

Chu Jinzhou nodded, "You are so nice."

"Hey hey hey..."

When the other young masters heard Chu Jinzhou actually calling the little prince by his name, they were no longer surprised by the favor or the criticism.

They couldn't believe it at first, but later they found that the little prince didn't care at all, so they got used to it.

Today's hot pot side dishes include fresh beef, tripe, duck intestines, and large shrimps.

In addition to various vegetables, Mumu also soaked some dried black fungus and dried mushrooms brought from home.

The dishes were ready, and Chu Jinnian ran into a small room and brought out a jar of the precious hot pot base they had brought with them.

He scooped a spoonful of hot pot base into the pot, then quickly wrapped the mouth of the jar with oil paper and closed the lid tightly.

Put the hot pot base in place and bring out a jar of cherry jam.

He quickly made a glass of cherry water for everyone.

"This is cherry juice, drink it quickly."

Cherry juice is very sweet and everyone likes it very much.

The hot pot base in the pot soon gave off a fragrant aroma, and Chu Jinzhou poured the beef soup that had been stewed in advance into it and started cooking.

The hot pot base tasted so delicious that everyone was drooling.

But it was really choking and several people started coughing.

While the soup base was not yet boiling, Chu Jinzhou asked everyone to prepare their own dipping sauce.

In order to eat this hot pot, all the seasonings are prepared.

What about chili powder, pepper oil, sesame paste, balsamic vinegar...

Anyway, all the seasonings they used in Beiyang are prepared here.

The young prince helped himself and quickly scooped himself a small bowl of the dipping sauce.

The others who had never eaten it didn't know how to add it, so they followed Chu Jinnian and the other three and added chopped chili peppers, sesame paste, coriander, balsamic vinegar, pepper oil and a little sugar.

"Alright, alright! The soup base is ready, come and eat the meat!"

Everyone sat around the pot, and Chu Jinzhou quickly poured a large plate of beef into it.

The palace maid who cut the meat was originally borrowed from the imperial kitchen. She was particularly good at knife skills, so the beef was cut into thin slices.

These beefs are all fresh, so they are tender and do not need to be marinated.

As soon as the beef changed color, Chu Jinnian quickly picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in the little prince's bowl, "Ye'er, eat quickly!"

"You all eat it too, the beef is cooked too long and it's tough and not tasty anymore!"

Everyone reacted and picked up some beef and followed their actions, rolling it in the dipping water and then stuffing it into their mouths.

The sesame paste neutralizes the spiciness, bringing a light sweet and sour taste as well as the unique aroma of the beef hot pot base. These flavors wrap around the tender and juicy beef, and one bite is the ultimate enjoyment.

Except for the little prince, the other young masters have never eaten hot pot. They have never even eaten something as spicy as chili peppers. When they want to eat spicy food on weekdays, they use dogwood, which tastes different from chili peppers.

After taking a bite, everyone couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, while some even sucked their tongues, it was so spicy!

But the chopsticks did not stop, and in the blink of an eye, all the beef in the pot was scooped out.

Chu Jinnian only took two bites, and when he scooped it up again, it was gone!

"Why do you eat so fast?"

He grunted and dumped another plate of beef in.

Everyone looked into the pot at the same time, their eyes shining.

A group of young masters ate hot pot and drank juice. They had never been so leisurely before.

When the Queen and Emperor Da'an came over, they smelled a strong smell of hot pot as soon as they entered the door.

Emperor Da'an had naturally eaten hotpot before, and he talked about it several times after he came back.

Who would have thought that these little guys actually brought hot pot!

How did you bring this hot pot?

The queen had never tasted it before, but it smelled so good. "Your Majesty, what does it smell like? Why is it so good?"

Emperor Da'an: "This is a dish that is only available in Beiyang, it's called hot pot. Let's go in and take a look."

"Hey, Nian Nian, what is this? Why is it so delicious?!"

"Those are duck intestines, don't take them all away."

"Duck... duck intestines? The intestines in the duck's stomach?"

"hold head high!"

"This... You must be lying to me. How can I eat this?"

"Why can't we eat this? This thing is hard to find. In my hot pot restaurant, if a customer wants to eat this, they have to queue up and make a reservation."

"Okay...it turns out duck intestines are so delicious..."

Once inside, the smell became stronger.

Someone suddenly saw Emperor Da'an and the Empress and was so scared that he dropped his chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The little child who discovered them knelt down in panic.

When the others heard this, they also knelt down and saluted.

"Get up quickly."
