Chapter 102 Hot Pot
Seeing the children still working hard inside, Feng Shuyuan stretched.
Lately, I've gotten a bit tired of instant noodles.
There are now fifteen people on the bus, including the children, so she can afford to cook these meals.
The six soldiers have been following me for almost a week now. Let's treat them to a hot pot lunch first.
This is also a way to welcome the eight little ones.
Feng Shuyuan strolled leisurely into the backup warehouse and disappeared into the shadows cast by the instant noodle boxes containing food ingredients.
She needs to go back and get some meat rolls.
And a pot.
For 15 people, you'll need at least two pots.
After a while, when Feng Shuyuan emerged from the shadows, he was carrying a large pile of ingredients.
"Someone come and help."
She returned to the carriage and called to the four soldiers who were still free.
What are your orders?
All four of them came up to him.
"Boss Feng, what can I do for you? I can help!"
Feng Shuyuan's paintings also attracted the attention of the eight children who were studying.
Seeing Feng Shuyuan calling for someone, Ying Ziping asked.
"Just focus on your studies. If you can't remember fifteen words in a moment, you'll be punished by eating one less piece of meat."
Feng Shuyuan pretended to be fierce to scare the children.
You can't skimp on food.
Although they didn't know what the "meat" Boss Feng was talking about was, the children didn't want to go hungry, so they quickly continued reciting their books.
Only a few older children were still hesitating about whether to cross.
"Study your books well. A bright future is the greatest help you can give to Boss Feng."
Ji Lu saw through the children's thoughts and said lazily, resting her chin on her hand.
Upon hearing this, Ying Ziping and the others finally stopped thinking about studying and focused on their studies.
However, a fragrance soon caught their attention.
"Gudong."
The fourth brother heard himself swallow.
What is this thing? It smells even better than instant noodles.
The second child had eaten a full breakfast, but when he smelled this, his stomach started to protest again.
He wants to eat it.
But can they really eat something that smells so good?
The younger children could no longer carry it all, and they stared longingly at the rising steam from the hot pot.
"Come on, let's take the exam. Those who pass will go eat."
Feng Shuyuan and the others set up the hot pot.
While waiting for the water to boil,
In fact, when the hot pot started cooking, everyone except Feng Shuyuan kept their eyes on it.
It can be said that neither the examiners nor the candidates were interested in the exam.
At this moment, all Ji Lu wanted to do was go eat hot pot. What exam? What was more important than hot pot?
However, she does have some self-control after all.
"Kids, let's finish this quickly!"
……
Children this age generally have decent learning abilities.
Every child exceeded their target.
After the last person finished the exam, Ji Lu cheered, put down her books, and went to Feng Shuyuan's side:
"Where do I sit? How do I eat?"
She looked at Feng Shuyuan with shining eyes.
"Why the rush?"
Feng Shuyuan was both amused and exasperated.
Looking at the few children still sitting in their seats, staring longingly, Feng Shuyuan sighed.
She waved:
"Come on, let's eat hot pot."
The children were led to another table to sit down.
On the table sat a steaming copper hot pot, along with all sorts of ingredients.
However, they didn't recognize anything, so they could only sit there helplessly, and no one dared to make a move.
After everyone was seated, Feng Shuyuan began the introductions.
"These red ones are slices of beef and lamb, and this plate is vegetables. It doesn't really matter what they are; you can try them all and eat what you like."
"As for how to eat it, I'll demonstrate it for you."
Feng Shuyuan picked up his chopsticks, gently lifted a slice of beef, and placed it into the pot.
"Watch closely, once the beef changes color, you can take it out and eat it. As for the vegetables, cook them for a full five minutes, and they'll be ready to eat. Remember to dip them in some sauce; it will taste even better that way."
The children watched Feng Shuyuan's movements intently.
When she coated the cooked beef slices with sesame sauce and put them in her mouth, they couldn't help but swallow.
Ji Lu couldn't wait any longer; the moment she saw Feng Shuyuan eat the beef slices, she had already started eating.
The other soldiers were not to be outdone, and each started cooking meat in a hot pot.
Meanwhile, the children at the table were still staring longingly at the pot, waiting for Feng Shuyuan to give the order.
Feng Shuyuan smiled helplessly.
"Let's eat, everyone, be careful, it's hot!"
Fearing the children might not dare to eat freely, Feng Shuyuan added a sentence.
"The food we've put over there is all yours. Eat as much as you want, and let me know when you're done."
After speaking, Feng Shuyuan savored the aroma of the sesame paste in his mouth.
Yes, as expected of me, the sesame sauce I made is exceptionally fragrant.
The second child started moving the moment he heard the signal to start eating.
He had already figured out that the slice of meat could be eaten in just over ten seconds.
Those dishes, however, will take five minutes.
Therefore, he simply poured half of the vegetables and half of the meat into the pot.
In this way, you can eat anything, and there will be something to eat at any time of day.
He was very pleased with himself.
Ying Ziping had no time to stop him.
"Why is it raining so much all at once?"
Ying Ziping couldn't help but gently reproach him.
"Huh? But didn't Boss Feng say that all of these are edible?"
The second son was somewhat at a loss after being reprimanded by Ying Ziping.
"Oh, you."
Ying Ziping sighed.
"It's alright, brother. If Boss Feng really thinks we're being unreasonable, just let her think I'm the one who's unreasonable. I'll cook all the dishes in a bit."
"Even if they kick me out, it's worth it to have a meal like this."
Ying Ziping sighed with a hint of bitterness.
"Alright, let's eat first."
The older children's worries don't seem to affect the younger ones.
The ninth and tenth brothers sat blankly at the table, their eyes shining as they stared at the food bubbling in the pot.
"Brother, the beef slices are ready!"
Seeing the beef change color, Lao Jiu excitedly patted Lao San on the shoulder.
"Okay, don't rush, I'll get it for you."
The third brother smiled at his sister. He tried to pick up the meat with chopsticks like Feng Shuyuan, but failed several times.
The same problem occurred at the adults' table, except that their usual aggressive style meant they used chopsticks in each hand to forcefully shove the meat slices onto the table.
Feng Shuyuan realized this and quickly taught him how to use the strainer.
That's how the meal proceeded smoothly.
Seeing the meat in the bowl, the ninth and tenth brothers couldn't resist any longer.
They picked up their small spoons and put the meat into their mouths.
"Woo!"
Then, the two little ones covered their mouths and hummed at the same time.
"what happened?"
The older children hadn't eaten yet, and seeing the two younger children looking distressed, they quickly asked them what was wrong.
"So hot!"
When they were eating instant noodles in the morning, Feng Shuyuan had already talked about the issue of temperature, so Lao Jiu had already learned the word.
Tears welled up in Lao Jiu's eyes from the heat, but after a moment, she felt it and still managed a smile.
"But it smells so good."
