Chapter 240 Hot Pot Tasting (4)
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but say excitedly: "With such delicious food in front of us, can we have a few drinks?" He swept his eyes over everyone, his eyes full of anticipation.
Zhu Qingqing smiled slightly and replied, "Of course! Dad, I've already prepared it for you!" As she spoke, she took out two jugs of wine from behind her like a magic trick. The jugs were exquisite and elegant. She skillfully poured the wine into the wine on the side, and immediately, a rich aroma of wine filled the air.
Father Zhu smiled delightedly when he smelled the aroma. He quickly turned to Wang Xiangdong and Yu Bo and said, "Great! Familiar smell! Xiangdong, and Yu Bo, come on, come on, how about you two join me for a few drinks?"
Wang Xiangdong nodded readily and agreed: "Okay! Uncle Zhu, let's have a drink then."
Yu Bo responded enthusiastically, "It's a must to accompany you, uncle, to drink!"
"Haha, then don't just stand there, sit down quickly, and let's eat and talk!" Dad Zhu waved his hand and laughed heroically.
So the adults gathered around the big dining table, with laughter and chatter all around, creating a lively atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Wu Di, Ding Xiang, and Qiang Wei sat at a smaller table. Zhu Qing Qing worriedly warned Wu Di, "Di Di, you have to take good care of your two sisters. Especially when they're eating hot pot, be extra careful and don't let them get burned."
Wu Di patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Mom! Just eat your food in peace. I'm here, nothing will happen."
Forget about the adults enjoying their hearty meals. Just look at Wu Di, who patiently and meticulously explains to Dingxiang and Qiangwei how to properly prepare hot pot. Pointing at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, she explains with earnestness, the demeanor of a grown-up.
Lilac Rose widened her eyes, looking in disbelief at the mountains of meat and colorful fresh vegetables in front of her, feeling as if she was in a food paradise.
Not only had they never seen this way of eating before, they had never seen so much meat and vegetables before.
For a moment they were at a loss, not knowing where to start. The chopsticks in their hands seemed to be under a spell and could not move.
Wu Di: "Meats like these that are not easy to cook need to be put into the pot and cooked for a while. But for things like tripe, pork loin, beef, and duck intestines, just blanch them a few times. Eat the meat first, then eat vegetables, bean sprouts and other vegetables that are easier to cook. Just blanch them briefly..." Dingxiang and Qiangwei looked at the pot, listened with relish, and nodded mechanically to show that they understood.
At this moment, Wu Di, who was sitting next to them, saw that they had not started eating yet, so he reached out and put the delicious hot dishes into the Lilac Rose bowl one by one.
"Come, have a taste."
Looking at the juicy and fragrant food in the bowl, Lilac Rose couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and take a bite.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed. "How can this taste so wonderful!" The melt-in-your-mouth luncheon meat was especially captivating, and she couldn't put her chopsticks down. Each bite was filled with rich aroma and a delicate texture, a feast for the senses.
"This beef roll is also good."
“And this pork belly.”
"Sister Didi, don't pick up the food for us, eat it yourself."
"Both. All."
Rose echoed vaguely with food in her mouth.
