After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

He didn't want to go at first, but Manager Shi insisted on sending him. Manager Shi also spoke with him privately, telling him to teach Cha Yunhe's storyteller well, not to be perfunctory, and not to displease Manager Ye.

But Zhou Sheng didn't take it to heart. When he learned that Wu Hualing was a half-baked amateur, his disdain and dissatisfaction reached their peak.

Such a person dared to ask him to teach, and Chayunhe was not as big as any other teahouse in the world. He always felt that he had lowered himself to come here, so he treated Wu Hualing and Ye Yuwu perfunctorily.

However, he was used to putting on an act in front of others, and Ye Yuwu had not yet noticed his passive resistance to work.

Not long after, the pot she had asked the blacksmith to make was finished.

It's called a pot, but it's more accurate to say that it's shaped like a tripod, only it's round.

She used the search system in her mind as a reference, plus some of her own ingenuity, to draw up the blueprints and show them to the blacksmiths. She even explained them again in case they didn't understand.

This cauldron is divided into two layers. The upper layer is naturally used for cooking, and the lower layer is used to hold charcoal.

To prevent the table from burning, a base was made, and a fire door was installed on the next layer. Small rings were embedded in the fire door to facilitate opening and closing, and also to prevent heat from spreading and to make it easier to replace the charcoal.

Of course, there will be a few small holes at the bottom for ventilation.

The top layer was specially designed to resemble a modern hot pot with two broths, but since there were no chili peppers or tomatoes, it seems that only one type of broth can be used for the time being.

It's said there's also a nine-compartment version, which she hasn't even tried in modern times. But if the ancient pot is successfully made, she'll have the blacksmith make her a nine-compartment one.

When Ye Yuwu received the newly made pot, she decided to try it out herself first, even though she didn't know if it would be successful. If it worked well, she would make a few more so that everyone in the bookstore could try it.

It's autumn now, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves on the trees on the street are slowly turning yellow.

When it gets colder, it will be very warm and comfortable for everyone to gather around and eat hot pot!

Having received her new pot, she couldn't wait to try it in her little courtyard.

Only she and Huaping lived in the courtyard. After hearing Ye Yuwu's introduction, Huaping also developed a strong interest in this way of eating.

She originally only wanted to try it out herself in the courtyard first, but she suddenly remembered Qingming, who was all alone (not really) in the attic after closing time every day, so she casually invited him to eat at their courtyard.

Qingming knew about the Wen Ding, since it was only popular among nobles. He had only eaten it a few times and wasn't particularly fond of it, mostly eating it in winter.

However, since Ye Yuwu rarely invited him, he naturally agreed.

This wasn't Qi Jingyue's first time visiting the courtyard. The tree in her yard had already turned yellow, and all the flower buds had fallen.

The ground was covered with leaves and petals, which smelled wonderful; you could smell them even before you entered the yard.

Ye Yuwu and Huaping swept the leaves in the yard to the side. Qi Jingyue didn't let the two women do it, so he placed the stone table in the middle of the yard.

This is an excellent location; they can see the entrance and the blue brick path, and the fallen leaves from the tree in the corner won't drift over to them.

Ye Yuwu scalded the pot with boiling water to disinfect it, then dried it and placed it on the stone table.

Qi Jingyue had eaten at Wen Ding a few times, but he had never seen one that looked like this before. He stood there curiously, looking at it from left to right and touching it. Just then, Ye Yuwu came over from the kitchen with the prepared dishes.

She placed the dishes on the table and reached out to pat his "mischievous" hand.

Have you washed your hands?

At this moment, Qi Jingyue seemed unusually simple-minded, not caring that the back of his hand had been slapped, and his eyes were still fixed on Wen Ding.

"Don't worry, it has definitely been washed."

Hearing him say that, Ye Yuwu ignored him and poured the prepared bone broth into the cauldron.

"What is this?" Qi Jingyue, a local from ancient times, had never seen such a "show".

Ye Yuwu didn't answer him. Only when she saw the bubbles appear did she put down the vegetables and meat, and then went to call Huaping.

Hua Ping washed his hands and came to the stone table, where the three of them sat down together.

"This is the Wen Ding?" Hua Ping's eyes were full of anticipation. "I heard that this is a favorite dish of nobles. Today, I'm lucky enough to be able to eat it thanks to you, Miss!"

Before Ye Yuwu could speak, Qi Jingyue suddenly said, "Even nobles don't really like to eat this."

Qi Jingyue's words are also correct. Wen Ding has only appeared in this dynasty for a short time. It was first discovered during a sacrificial ceremony. Because of the cold weather, vegetables and other foods could be kept warm in the pot and taken out to eat when desired.

However, most of them are still boiled in water. If they are bland, you can add some salt or dip them in vinegar and soy sauce. After eating them a few times, you get tired of them and they are not very interesting.

However, Qi Jingyue found Ye Yuwu's creations quite novel, as he had heard that the bone broth had been simmering for one or two hours.

"How did you know that nobles don't like to eat from warm pots?"

"It's a secret, anyway, I just know it." Qi Jingyue said with a smug grin, jokingly teasing Ye Yuwu.

While chatting, Ye Yuwu was the first to realize that the food should be cooked. She picked up a piece of vegetable and said, "I'll test for poison first. Don't eat it yet. If I'm still alive after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then this pot of food is safe to eat."

They ate the food before they could even react.

"Girl, please don't, let me try it first." Hua Ping's attempts to stop her were in vain.

Qi Jingyue then realized what Ye Yuwu meant. "So that's why you suddenly invited me to dinner today. You were afraid that if you died after the poison test, Huaping wouldn't be able to handle the mess alone!"

He was somewhat annoyed, feeling that he had been used, but more than that, he was worried.

Ye Yuwu did have that idea, but someone needed to test the pot first. In theory, there shouldn't be any problems, but she was just afraid of something going wrong.

Hua Ping was already impatient after eating her vegetables, and just as she was about to eat some more, Ye Yuwu knocked her chopsticks out of her mouth.

"Don't panic, I'm fine!" She rolled her eyes as soon as she finished speaking, looking like she was about to faint.

The two people beside her panicked and were about to help her up when her eyes returned to normal, and she laughed heartily, "As expected of me! It's so delicious! Even the vegetables taste so good!"

Realizing they had been tricked, Huaping angrily shouted, "Girl, you tricked me! I was scared to death!"

"Haha, sorry Huaping, a cup of tea has long passed. I saw that you two were in such a serious mood, and I didn't realize that time had passed, so I couldn't help but tease you." Ye Yuwu immediately put another chopstick into the pot.

"It's really delicious, you guys eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets too soft later." Ye Yuwu ate the food, her eyes squinting with happiness, and tears almost welled up in her eyes. It had only been a short time! It felt like an eternity.

This is exactly the taste and feeling! It's been so long since I've had hot pot!

No, we absolutely have to find a way to get some spicy hot pot! It's soulless without spicy hot pot! Even though she can't eat spicy food, that doesn't stop her from loving it!
