The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor
Chapter 43 Let's eat hot pot together
Shangguan Jingye happily went to move his things. Li Muxia arrived at the door of Dongfang Jincheng's room, knocked on the door, and when no one answered, she thought that he might not have returned yet, so she turned around and left to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot. She planned to invite the Dongfang Jincheng brothers to have hot pot together after everything was ready.
Zhu Feng, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Li Muxia's actions and reported them to Dongfang Jincheng as soon as he returned.
Dongfang Jincheng had a full day. He knew Li Muxia was leaving tomorrow morning and suddenly wanted to be with them, so he sped up his visits. This made Dongfang Jinxuan, who was with him, feel a bit uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask several times, but he didn't get an answer. Although he sped up the pace, two days was simply not enough. At the current rate, it would take at least two more days to complete the visits, and he was getting a little impatient.
Dongfang Jincheng, who was about to change his clothes, heard that Li Muxia had come to see him. His irritation vanished and he suddenly felt happy. He didn't even change his clothes and went straight to the backyard. Shangguan Jinxuan followed him with a puzzled look.
When the two arrived at the backyard, they saw Li Muxia busy at work. She was cutting beef, and the thinly sliced beef was neatly arranged on the plate. Bai Qingshi and the other person were still studying the hot pot.
Li Muxia looked up and wiped her sweat, just in time to see Dongfang Jincheng. She quickly raised her hand to greet him, "Young Master Long, you're back. Come and have some hot pot with us."
Bai Qingshi and the other person looked up at the two of them and greeted them happily.
Looking at Li Muxia's bright smile, Dongfang Jincheng's lips unconsciously curved upwards as well. It was as if all the fatigue of the day had vanished the moment he saw Li Muxia's smile.
Upon hearing the words "hot pot," Dongfang Jinxuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to join Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye's group. The three of them studied the structure of the hot pot.
Dongfang Jincheng came to the table and looked at the table full of ingredients. In the middle was a steaming pot, which should be called a hot pot. At this moment, the hot pot was bubbling and steaming.
He glanced at the hot pot's structure and immediately understood that it mainly consisted of three parts: a charcoal-heated base, a round pot on top divided into two sections, and a small chimney in the middle. At that moment, beef bones were simmering in the pot, and the rich aroma of meat wafted through the air. It must be said, the person who invented this was truly ingenious.
Li Muxia specially ordered a hot pot with two broths. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he prepared the ingredients while saying, "This is a hot pot with two broths. The red side is the spicy broth, and the white side is the bone broth broth. If you like spicy food, eat the spicy broth; if you can't, eat the bone broth broth."
After listening to Li Muxia's explanation, everyone understood and sat down in front of their favorite pot.
Li Muxia quickly prepared the dishes. Looking at everyone sitting there, Shangguan Jingye and Dongfang Jinxuan's mouths were practically watering.
I gave everyone a small bowl and then started demonstrating how to eat hot pot.
Everyone followed suit, quietly waiting for the food to cook.
After a while, Li Muxia felt it was about time and said, "It should be cooked now, we can eat it."
Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Shangguan Jingye and Dongfang Jinxuan couldn't resist. They picked up some meat from the hot pot, blew on it, and put it in their mouths. The spicy flavor stimulated their taste buds, making them fall in love with hot pot after just one bite. They became more and more addicted to it, praising how delicious it was as they ate.
Everyone else started eating too. Dongfang Jincheng ate rather elegantly, sitting next to Li Muxia and sharing the bone broth hot pot with her. It tasted quite good. It has to be said that this thing called hot pot is delicious, convenient to carry, and the way it's cooked and eaten at the same time is novel, making it perfect for gatherings with friends and outdoor dining.
Li Muxia also bought some beef offal today. When he took out the tripe, everyone looked puzzled. Could this thing be eaten? It looked like a dirty rag.
Under everyone's skeptical gaze, he put all the tripe into the spicy broth and then said to everyone, "This tripe is a must-have for hot pot. A hot pot without tripe is not a hot pot."
As they were talking, they noticed that it was almost time, and everyone looked hesitant, with no one picking up any tripe to eat.
He picked one up and put it in his mouth, then looked at everyone with a look of enjoyment. Sure enough, tripe was the best.
Hesitantly, everyone picked up some tripe, then, with a sense of grim determination, put it in their mouths to taste: indeed, it was delicious.
Seeing that everyone else had eaten, but Dongfang Jincheng hadn't taken any, Li Muxia strongly recommended that he take some and even used serving chopsticks to put one in his bowl.
Dongfang Jincheng originally didn't want to eat, but when he saw that it was Li Muxia who had put food on his plate, which was the first time Li Muxia had ever put food on his plate and only for him, he was inexplicably happy. Although he didn't know why he was so happy just because she put food on his plate, he was just happy.
I ate the tripe without hesitation. Even after finishing it, I was completely won over by the tripe.
And so, everyone enjoyed the meal, especially Dongfang Jincheng.
During meals, he would always glance at Li Muxia, intentionally or unintentionally. Even when choosing a seat, he would choose to sit next to her. He didn't know why, but he always felt that he was attracted by something about Li Muxia.
Back in his room, Dongfang Jincheng gloriously suffered from insomnia. Every time he closed his eyes, Li Muxia's image would flash in his mind, especially her beautiful eyes, which seemed to be sucking him in.
Just as Dongfang Jincheng was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, Zhu Feng brought him a letter containing information about Li Muxia.
The Shadow Pavilion's guards were very efficient. Dongfang Jincheng carefully read through the records, which were very comprehensive, detailing everything from Li Muxia's birth to her fifteenth birthday.
When Dongfang Jincheng saw Li Anran fall into the water after being framed by Feng Jingxin, he understood why Li Muxia had overpowered Feng Jingxin on the football field. At that moment, he realized he had misunderstood Li Muxia and felt a pang of guilt. At the same time, he was also very happy.
He also realized that Li Muxia wasn't one of those women in the inner quarters who would use underworld methods. On the contrary, based on their interactions over the past few days, he had come to understand her character: kind, brave, focused, ambitious, not simply dependent on men, not delicate, and possessing a strong inner strength. He had to admit, Dongfang Jincheng greatly admired her.
At the same time, he was also puzzled. According to the information he had obtained, he could clearly see Li Muxia's change. He could understand that the incident five years ago was due to Feng Jingxin's instigation.
So what about this time? Was it because her second brother broke off the engagement? Did the breakup really have such a big impact on her? Or was it because she really liked and cared about her second brother that she was so shocked by his annulment, leading to a drastic change in her personality?
Thinking about this, Dongfang Jincheng suddenly felt very irritable. He suddenly didn't want Li Muxia to change because of his second brother.
