Since we've decided to have hot pot tomorrow, let's buy the necessary prep items today! The recipe videos are updated two or three times a week, with at least two dishes and one soup each time. Over the past three weeks, I've already added a whopping twenty dishes and nine soups! My "Bilin" account has already surpassed one million followers, something I never even dreamed of achieving before!

I remember when I first uploaded my videos, I was filled with anxiety and trepidation. But when I saw the comments from the lovely netizens, I felt their support. I carefully read every comment and constantly improved my work based on their valuable suggestions. Because of this, my work is now loved by more and more people, and the comments section has undergone a dramatic change. At first, some people might say, "This blogger is really sensationalizing. What's with the Ancient Blue Planet food? Don't try to link everything to the Ancient Blue Planet."

"That Cuckoo's feet are all bones, but I'm a human! I prefer meat!"

"What kind of dark dish is this? Aren't you afraid it might corrupt the kids?"

"I came from Wei'er's place. Since she's Wei'er's friend, I must support Wei'er's friend!"

"I realized this blogger really wanted to teach us how to cook, but unfortunately, my cooking skills are terrible. Even the simplest step of shredding potatoes turned out to be a PIUS version of it, not shredded. Fortunately, the final product tasted pretty good. My parents kept praising me for my cooking after trying it. I guess I need to practice my cooking more!"

"I'm here to hand in my homework again today! What do you think of my scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Is there any improvement? I hope the blogger can give me some advice~"

"Laugh at Wei'er, envy Wei'er, how to become Wei'er, the blogger wants to eat the food you cook for n days"

Looking at these heartwarming messages, I was deeply moved. I knew that my efforts were not in vain, I really did it!

My mind raced, but my pace quickened. Soon I was at the supermarket entrance. The moment I stepped inside, it felt like I'd entered a vibrant world. Pushing my shopping cart, I headed straight for the vegetable section with a determined gaze.

The shelves overflow with vegetables, exuding an alluring aroma. Neatly arranged, they seem to beckon me. I examine each one carefully, my mind racing to determine which ingredients would perfectly complement a delicious hot pot. I pick up a juicy green leafy vegetable, feeling its freshness; I gently pick up a juicy carrot, imagining it tumbling in the pot. Every choice feels like a delicious encounter.

Today I need to buy all the ingredients for tomorrow's hot pot base and pickled vegetables. As for those fresh vegetables that don't keep well, I can order them tomorrow morning through my laptop and have them delivered straight to my door. After all, it's the weekend I've finally been waiting for, and I don't want to get up early; I just want to sleep in. Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth curl up slightly, and my mood becomes even more cheerful.

I dragged my exhausted body back home, put my belongings away, and went into the kitchen to cook a bowl of fragrant noodles, which I devoured like a whirlwind. After a satisfying meal, I collapsed on the sofa like a puddle of mud, savoring this rare moment of leisure and comfort.

Looking at my chubby belly, I couldn't help but laugh at myself, "It seems I've gained weight for a reason. I just finished eating and I'm already lying down." But then I thought, today is Friday. I've been busy all week, and I'm exhausted both physically and mentally. Now's the time to relax. Besides, I have the task of updating my recipe video tomorrow!

So, I comforted myself with a sense of peace, quickly picked up my phone, called Wei'er, and warmly invited her to dinner at my house the next day. Thinking of the upcoming weekend and gatherings with friends, my mood grew even more cheerful, as if all the stress had instantly melted away. Let me indulge myself a little; after all, life needs these moments of leisure to revive itself.

After thinking about it, he reached out and picked up his phone from the bedside table, skillfully opened the Douyin app and started scrolling. The content in the video was all kinds of strange, there were funny jokes, touching stories, and all kinds of delicious food and beautiful scenery...

"Hmm, what a wonderful sleep!" Only then did I come to my senses. It was my alarm that had gone off. A glance at my laptop revealed I'd slept until a little after eleven the next morning. I stretched, yawned, and then slowly got out of bed to wash up. Afterward, I returned to bed, opened my laptop, and ordered some fresh vegetables for the afternoon hot pot.

After ordering the vegetables, I went to the kitchen to prepare the hot pot base. I first placed the chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic and other seasonings on the chopping board. These seasonings were red, green, and white, and the bright colors made people's appetites.

Next, I turned on the stove, heated the wok, and carefully added chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, and other spices. There was a crackling sound, and the spices quickly released an alluring aroma under the influence of the hot oil. With a spatula in hand, I continued to stir and fry, allowing each ingredient to fully blend and release its unique flavor.

Soon, the aroma of the seasoning grew stronger, and I knew it was time to add the butter and broth. I gently poured in a suitable amount of butter, watching it melt slowly into a pool of golden liquid. Then, I added some broth to make the base even richer.

As time went by, the aroma of the hot pot base began to fill the room. The spicy flavor stimulated my taste buds, making me swallow my saliva. I could already see Wei and I sitting around enjoying a delicious hot pot that evening.

I continued to patiently simmer the hot pot base, stirring it occasionally to ensure the flavors were evenly blended. Finally, the hot pot base was ready! I turned off the heat, scooped out the base, and set it aside to cool.

Looking at the hot pot soup base that I made myself, I felt a sense of accomplishment. This soup base is not only the result of my hard work, but I am also looking forward to the hot pot dinner tonight. I believe Wei Er will definitely like this special hot pot soup base.

Just in case Wei'er couldn't handle the spicy hot pot, I prepared an alternative: a rich bone broth made from fresh bones to serve as a base for the clear soup. While I waited for Wei'er to arrive, I decided to use this delicious bone broth to make my own lunch. After all, even if you're trying to lose weight, you can't ignore your normal dietary needs.

So, I deftly picked up a handful of noodles and gently dropped them into the pot. Watching them tumble in the boiling broth, emitting an alluring aroma, my stomach began to growl. Soon, the noodles were cooked. I scooped them into a bowl and ladled over a spoonful of the delicious bone broth. A simple yet nutritious bowl of bone soup noodles was ready.

Lifting this bowl of steaming noodles, I felt the warmth and satisfaction it brought. It might be just a simple lunch, but the care and attention it put into it made it extraordinarily delicious. I'm sure Wei'er will also feel my thoughtfulness when she tastes this pot of bone broth later.
