Chapter 257 The Meatball Incident
A hot pot with two broths can satisfy the taste buds of several people at the same time, and also allows everyone to enjoy a hot pot meal together at one table.
"Ms. Yang, do you often eat hot pot? You seem to have a good grasp of how long to cook each ingredient in the broth!"
Yang Jianwu chewed on a slice of meat, her lips red and shiny with oil. Why so much nonsense while eating! Hot pot is not only something she eats often, but it's also something she brought herself.
"Okay."
Nalan Yuanli continued eating in silence, muttering under his breath, "You're being too perfunctory..."
Yang Jianwu ignored Nalan Yuanli. He wasn't a particularly close friend, so why bother talking to him? She might as well just enjoy the food in front of her.
"The meatballs are here!"
The shopkeeper brought over a plate of various kinds of meatballs, round and bouncy, which looked very appealing.
"Miss, all the meatballs in the kitchen are sold out today. These were made by the chefs on short notice, so the taste may be a little inferior. Please don't mind."
Yang Jianwu picked up a meatball and threw it on the table. The meatball bounced up the moment it hit the table.
Nalan Yuanli's eyes followed Wanzi like a cat chasing a ping-pong ball.
Yang Jianwu caught the dumpling in mid-air with one hand, then brought it to her nose to smell it carefully before giving her evaluation.
"The meatballs are very chewy, and the seasoning is very fragrant. The chefs have put in a lot of effort!"
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together with delight, "It's their good fortune to receive a compliment from Miss."
Nalan Yuanli couldn't wait to pick up a meatball and put it in her mouth, exclaiming in surprise, "Made of meat?"
Yang Jianwu felt that Nalan Lianyi's mind wasn't always working well, and that she was a bit slow-witted...
Fortunately, there weren't many customers left, otherwise I really wanted to pretend I didn't know him.
"What do you think?"
Nalan Yuanli grinned foolishly, "It's my first time eating it, I don't know."
Um... no wonder... I forgave him.
"The meatballs are raw; it's best to boil them in a pot..."
"what……"
Nalan Yuanli's face looked rather pale. He felt like vomiting, but couldn't vomit... He tried to swallow, but couldn't swallow...
After a struggle, he finally swallowed it.
"Miss Yang, if you had said so earlier, I definitely wouldn't have touched you like that."
Yang Jianwu finished chewing the food in her mouth and slowly spat out, "So you know you were being nosy! No talking while eating at Dongli Restaurant! I still had something in my mouth!"
Nalan Yuanli said with a mournful face, "You're right, you're right about everything!"
The meatballs tumbled and rolled in the boiling pot, chasing each other, and soon they got a little fatter.
"The meatballs are cooked, let's eat!"
At Yang Jianwu's command, all three except Nalan Yuanli started eating without any hesitation.
Nalan Yuanli also rushed to grab some, shouting, "Leave some for me!"
"..."
"You all live in Anshun, so you can eat whenever you want!"
"..."
"Don't you even know how to treat guests?!"
"..."
Nalan Yuanli felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He had always been the one being indulged by others since childhood; when did he have to compete with them for food?!
What's even worse is that they couldn't even beat them in a fight...
Yang Jianwu shook her head. This prince is useless at everything. How did he survive to this age? Is the Xipan royal family generally this incompetent?
No way...
"Here, have two. This one is called 'Peeing Ball,' take your time..."
Yang Jianwu picked up two pills for Nalan Yuanli, and was about to remind him that the soup inside the pills was hot and that he should eat them slowly, when she heard Nalan Yuanli shout.
"Ouch! It's so hot! It's so hot!"
Nalan Yuanli fanned his mouth frantically and couldn't help but gulp down a glass of cold water before the temperature in his mouth returned to normal.
"Can't you slow down a little!"
"Sorry everyone, I'm just too excited! Eat your food, don't mind me."
The three of them lowered their heads in tacit agreement and each ate their own food.
Nalan Yuanli forced an awkward smile. No one was really paying attention to him anymore. Oh well, he'd better eat slowly by himself.
There was one meatball left on the plate. Nalan Yuanli picked it up and, imitating Yang Jianwu's earlier action, held it to her nose to smell it carefully.
Fragrant!It smells so good!
Take a bite, it's crispy and bouncy, delicious!
Eat the rest!
"belch……"
Nalan Yuanli was savoring the taste of the meatballs so carefully that his tongue couldn't stop him, and half a meatball slid down his throat in a flash.
"Kaka..."
Nalan Yuanli tried to pry it off with his hands, but after a long time, the meatballs started to slide down.
The three people at the table were eating with their heads down, and no one noticed Nalan Yuanli's situation until Luo Li looked up to prepare to cook some vegetables.
At this moment, Nalan Yuanli's face was bluish-purple, and he was having difficulty breathing. Seeing Luo Li was like seeing a savior.
"Miss!"
"Ok?"
Seeing Nalan Yuanli's condition, Yang Jianwu immediately shouted to Mu Jin, "Heimlich!"
Mu Jin accepted the order and, without saying a word, came up behind Nalan Yuanli and hugged him around the waist.
Nalan Yuanli was on the verge of tears. He was already in such a state, how could anyone still take advantage of him…
Mu Jin made a fist with one hand, palm facing inward, and pressed on the area between Nalan Yuanli's navel and ribs. She placed her other hand on top of the fist and pressed rapidly and forcefully inward and upward repeatedly.
Nalan Yuanli felt a surge of gas rising in his stomach, and in a few moments, half a pill flew out of his mouth.
"Cough cough~ I'm choking to death..."
