95 Gift
The next day, Xiao Lang took a piece of hot pot seasoning wrapped in oil paper to the county office. When he saw Ming Zhiyan, he took it out as if he was presenting a treasure and said, “Brother Ming, this is the hot pot my sister gave you. It’s really delicious!”
As he said this, he even sucked in his saliva.
Ming Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and asked in puzzlement, “Hot ot?”
Xiao Lang explained using both his hands and feet, “Just put a stove on the table and place the pot on the stove. The dishes will be cooked while eating. It’s really delicious!”
Thinking of the taste of the hot pot last night, he looked at Ming Zhiyan with eager eyes. Xiao Lang repeated, “It’s really delicious!”
Ming Zhiyan chuckled and took the hot pot ingredients and said, “Okay, we’ll eat it for lunch.”
Xiao Lang immediately cheered, “Alright! Thank you, Brother Ming! I’m going to practice martial arts!”
Ming Zhiyan patted his head and said, “Go.”
Xiao Lang’s talent in martial arts was not something Ming Zhiyan could spout nonsense about. Whenever he wanted to practice martial arts, he would be able to calm down very quickly. He would be completely immersed in it and nothing could disturb him, it was the complete opposite of his usual lively and playful personality.
As soon as he arrived at the training ground, he completely forgot about the hot pot. He started to punch with a tiger-like aura. His gaze was firm, and his kicks and punches were extremely powerful.
At noon, the gong sounded. It was time to eat. Xiao Lang immediately jumped up and rushed to Ming Zhiyan’s residence.
Ming Zhiyan had already instructed the cook to prepare the things as Xiao Lang had instructed. The hot pot started to boil, and steam rose from it, emitting an alluring fragrance.
As the cook placed the dishes on the table, her gaze could not help but drift towards the bright red soup pot. It made people drool when they smelled it. In her heart, she kept muttering, “It’s really a sin to let her do this job. I can only look but not eat…”
She did not know what this thing was made of and why it smelled so good.
Seeing Xiao Lang arrive, the cook said with a smile, “Young Master, quickly take a seat. Lord Ming will be back soon.”
Xiao Lang sat upright in his seat, staring at the bubbling hot pot without blinking.
After waiting for a while, Ming Zhiyan’s figure appeared at the door. He took off his wet cloak and washed his hands in the hot water.
Xiao Lang urged, “Brother Ming, Hurry up! I’m so hungry!”
Ming Zhiyan still washed his hands leisurely before sitting down. Looking at the bubbling red oil soup on the table, he hesitated for a moment. Although it was very fragrant, his taste was relatively light. He usually did not eat greasy or salty food.
Seeing that Xiao Lang’s eyes were about to shine, he picked up a piece of vegetables and put it in to heat up. He said, “Let’s eat.”
Xiao Lang could not wait to pick up the cured pork and put it in. He had always loved meat.
When the pork was fully cooked, he put it into Ming Zhiyan’s bowl and said, “Brother Ming, this is the best!”
Ming Zhiyan put the vegetables aside, picked up the pork, and took a bite. He could not help but let out a muffled cough.
It was very fragrant, but it was also quite aggresive. He ate two mouthfuls of rice to suppress the choking spicy taste.
On the other hand, Xiao Ye ate very happily. Although it was verys spicy, and beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead, he was overjoyed.
Ming Zhiyan ate a few more mouthfuls. It would be fine if he got used to it and would not feel like choking anymore, but it was still very spicy. He felt warm all over.
After eating, he felt that his entire body was already hot. He could not help but stand at the door and expose himself to the cool breeze.
He leaned against the door and twirled his fingers slightly. When he was thinking about something, he would always do this action.
