578 It’s Hot Pot
Zhou Wencai pointed at the raw vegetables and meat and asked in puzzlement, ” sister Yuelan, what’s going on? Don’t tell me you want us to eat these raw?”
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” big brother Zhou, the things are not here yet. Don’t worry. I told you I would give you a surprise. Please wait for a while!”
Eating hot pot in winter was the best way to warm up the body.
Upon hearing Lin yuelan’s words, Zhou wencai and County Magistrate Zhou could only suppress the curiosity and suspicion in their hearts and patiently wait for the surprise.
Jiang Zhennan looked at the expressions of the two of them and knew that they didn’t quite believe what kind of surprise these raw vegetables and meat could give.
He was suspicious too.
Looking at Jiang Zhennan sitting upright next to Lin yuelan, County Magistrate Zhou suppressed his excited expression several times and wanted to talk to Jiang Zhennan. After all, with Jiang Zhennan’s identity, these small officials rarely saw him, let alone talk to him in close proximity to building a relationship with him.
In the past, there were rumors that Jiang Zhennan’s appearance was so ugly that it could shock the heavens and earth. It was so frightening and terrifying. However, now that he knew that this handsome and dignified young man in front of him was the God of War, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The fear he had before also slowly relaxed.
County Magistrate Zhou looked at Jiang Zhennan and asked, ” Young master Nan, I heard that you are a guest of miss Lin’s house. However, your accent seems to be from the North. May I ask if young master Nan is from the North? ”
County Magistrate Zhou was carefully testing the waters and trying to get closer to him.
Because Lin yuelan needed to maintain a good relationship with County Magistrate Zhou, Jiang Zhennan would not be too cold and indifferent to him.
Jiang Zhennan nodded and replied, ” that’s right. I’m a person from the North.”
County Magistrate Zhou asked again, ” then, which part of the North are they from? Youzhou, Beilin, Yanzhou, or the capital? ”
When he spoke of the capital, his tone was slightly heavy, as if he wanted to confirm something.
However, County Magistrate Zhou was a little uneasy.
He was a little worried that asking such a question would anger Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan took a glass of wine and took a sip. Then, he placed it on the table.
His sharp eyes looked at County Magistrate Zhou for a moment, then he said coldly, ” the capital! County Magistrate Zhou, if there’s anything else you want to ask, I’ll definitely tell you everything I know!”
County Magistrate Zhou was a little nervous. He knew that his probing had made him unhappy.
He sighed with some regret in his heart. ‘Forget it. I’ll just guard my own duty.’
Zhou Wencai’s smile dimmed when he saw the atmosphere turn stiff. Moments later, he smiled again and asked Lin yuelan, ” sister yuelan, what’s the surprise you were talking about? I’m really curious.”
Lin yuelan smiled as she walked toward the door and said, ” It’s here.”
Zhou Wencai immediately turned his head to the door in suspicion. Then, he saw two waitresses walking in with a pot furnace and a Copper Basin.
“What are they doing?” Zhou wencai asked curiously, ” are we going to cook and eat on the spot? ”
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” that’s right.”
The two female service staff put down the things and lit the brazier. A blue flame gradually lit up, surrounded by black charcoal the size of a fist.
Zhou Wencai looked at the burning white crystal in the middle and asked curiously, ” What is this? ” Zhou wencai and County Magistrate Zhou were extremely astonished when they saw the blue flames emitted by the white crystal.
Lin yuelan explained, ” this is solid alcohol made from paraffin wax!”
Zhou Wencai exclaimed in surprise, ” paraffin wax? It is paraffin wax! But what is solid alcohol?”
Lin yuelan, “…” He really has a lot of questions. “It’s something that can be burned.”
When the flames started to burn, the surrounding charcoal started to catch on fire, and the water in the copper Basin started to boil, Lin yuelan put the spices on the side into the copper Basin. The basin was split, so one side of the soup was spicy and the other side was not.
Looking at the red liquid, Zhou Wencai asked again, ” What is this? ”
Lin yuelan said, ” chili!”
“Chili?”
“What is this?”
He pointed to a bowl with a dark red color on the table and asked.
“This is soy sauce!” She said.
