The sky gradually darkened, and another day had passed. In a certain garden in the Royal District castle, there was a lively atmosphere.
The people who had gathered yesterday were gathered here again. This time, there were even more people than yesterday. Hilton, who had worked hard all day, and Tina and the others who could not come last time were also called over.
They were called to participate in this "hot pot feast."
Of course, the one who was most devastated at this moment was none other than Night Song …
"Speaking of which, what is hot pot?"
Aradeline looked at Aubury in confusion. "Old man, have you heard of it?"
Aubury shook his head. He had traveled extensively in the past, but he had never heard of hot pot.
"According to Earl Tang En, it should be a cooking method."
Victor forced a smile and tried not to look at Night Song.
"The soup base is here!"
With a shout, Tang En and a few palace maids came to the garden with four mandarin duck pots that Tang En had made at the last minute. Before they arrived, a strong aroma had already drifted over.
After these people smelled this unfamiliar aroma, their appetites were suddenly aroused. Aubury and Aradeline, who were already fond of food, were even more expectant now.
"This is the spicy pot, and this is the clear soup. If you can't eat spicy food, go for the clear soup … Oh, you haven't eaten spicy food before."
Tang En was halfway through his words when he remembered that they had never developed chili. Of course, they did not understand the concept of spicy food.
However, Fiona and Tina, who had been trained by Tang En for a long time, did not hesitate to choose the spicy pot. After eating barbecued meat for so many years, they were now addicted to chili …
After placing the mandarin duck pots one by one on top of the fire magic circle and continuing to heat them up, Tang En clapped his hands, and the ingredients that had been prepared in the kitchen began to be served one by one.
All kinds of expensive magical beast meat that had been cut thin and transparent were exquisite and beautiful. All kinds of fresh vegetables were torn apart and displayed. In addition to these, there were some strange balls, meat paste, and so on …
"Uh, Earl Tang En, are you sure you want to eat like this?"
Aubrey was speechless as he looked at the transparent pieces of meat. Aradeline was the same. They were used to eating large pieces of steak. How could they accept such a stingy way of eating? He would have to eat more than ten plates before he was barely full, right?
"Tsk tsk."
Tang En waved his finger and said, "Your Excellency, you should know that food is not only for filling the stomach, but also for enjoyment."
"Alright, what is this?"
"Handmade meatballs."
"What about this?"
"Fresh prawns are slippery — I have to thank His Majesty Victor."
Tang En said with satisfaction, "If it weren't for this Imperial Kitchen, I probably wouldn't have been able to find many of the ingredients."
Victor laughed awkwardly and said, "It's also thanks to Earl Tang En's invention. If it weren't for the magic energy refrigerator, even I wouldn't have been able to store many things."
Before the magic energy refrigerator, it was extremely expensive to use an entire room engraved with frost magic circles to refrigerate the fresh ingredients shipped from afar. With Victor's current miserable situation, he certainly wouldn't have used it.
"Huh? Where's Princess Olga? "
It was not until this moment that Tang En noticed that Princess Aurelia was not here.
How dare you tie me up here and call me by my nickname?!
Indignant, Night Song turned around and looked at Victor. Victor secretly patted Olina's hand and shook his head with a bitter smile. Then, he said, "She … has something to do, so she went out."
"Oh, it seems that she won't have the luck."
Tang En shrugged. At this moment, the pot began to boil. Tang En was refreshed and said enthusiastically, "We can start now. Start with the meat. Eating slowly is the most enjoyable."
The group of people looked at each other. He said that they could start now, but how should they start?
"Oh, look at me!"
Tang En patted his forehead, stood up and said, "Let me show you. When eating hot pot, it's best to use this kind of tableware called chopsticks. Of course, considering that you haven't used chopsticks before, I specially prepared this foolproof tool for you."
Tang En waved the long tweezers in his left hand and said, "Although it's not very convenient, it's barely usable."
Among the people present, except for Ellington's people who had seen Tang En use chopsticks and had all learned how to use chopsticks, the others had never heard of chopsticks before. However, tweezers were not that difficult.
"Why do I feel inexplicably uncomfortable when I hear him say foolproof tool …"
Aubry murmured, feeling that Tang En was scolding them for being too stupid.
Then, Tang En picked up another bowl and said, "Here are the ingredients. There's sesame paste, minced garlic, and a sesame oil dish. Mine is a mixture of vegetable oil, minced garlic, salt, chives, chili rings, and other ingredients. Later, dip the cooked food in it to make it more delicious. Everyone can try and find the one that suits your taste."
In fact, this kind of ingredient was too complicated. The most suitable one for novices and also the most popular one was naturally the sesame paste.
Victor picked up the bowl and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant, which made people want to eat.
After that, Tang En picked up a thin, transparent slice of meat and lightly dipped it in the boiling red pot for a moment before scooping it out. Everyone noticed that the slice of meat had already changed color. After that, they gently rolled it in the ingredients and stuffed it into their mouths.
"Oh!!!"
Tang En let out an incomparably comfortable moan. The spiciness of the red oil and the taste of various seasonings mixed together to form a wonderful change. The fresh and tender juice and the complex taste blended together and became indistinguishable. The moment it entered the mouth, it exploded completely and turned into a rich and melty juice. This melty juice, coupled with the top-grade magical beast meat slices that were purely natural and pollution-free, melted in the mouth. The smooth, tender, and fresh fragrance was simply indescribable. This was a heavenly delicacy!
It had only been a few months since he had eaten hot pot, but why did it feel like many years had passed?
Tang En trembled with happiness. If it weren't for the others around him, he would have been so moved that his clothes would have burst!
Sure enough, the culinary skills of the Foodie Empire, coupled with the top-grade cooking ingredients, were equivalent to conquering the world's delicacies!
What's the spirit of sex!
My Foodie Empire's hot pot can not only fight for another ten thousand years, it can even break through the dimensional barrier and conquer another world!
Seeing Tang En immersed in his emotions, the others who were eager to try also began to try.
"Stingy, he's really too stingy …"
Aubrey picked up a piece of meat and couldn't help but mutter. But after he dipped it for a few seconds like Tang En, dipped it in the sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth, he was immediately stunned.
Hot!
Spicy!
The rich smell rushed straight into his nose, and in an instant, Aubrey choked and burst into tears.
"My dear, it can't be?"
Parola's face was full of surprise, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Aubrey's face turned red and he coughed violently. After a moment, he gasped for breath. "Damn it, I was fooled by that kid … Phew! My mouth feels like it's on fire! "
"Hahahahaha!"
Seeing Aubrey's cowardice, Arden immediately laughed proudly. Aubrey silently watched Arden stuff a piece of red meat into his mouth, and then …
"Pfft!"
Fortunately, Arden reacted quickly enough and turned around in an instant. Otherwise, his saliva would have flown onto Aubrey's face.
"Still talking about me?"
Aubrey sneered. "Look at yourself. If Vanessa saw this, she might just turn around and break up with you."
"Cough, cough! You old bastard — "
Erika passed a cup to Arden. "Hurry up and drink some water!"
Arden grabbed the cup and took a big gulp. The next moment, his eyes widened. "Pfft!!!"
Erika was frightened. "My dear, what's wrong with you —"
Seeing Arden's half-dead look, Victor, who was about to eat a piece of meat, was dumbfounded. If he didn't know Tang En's identity, he would have suspected that Tang En had poisoned him.
"Oh!"
Tang En came back to his senses and said casually, "I know you guys like to drink, so I prepared a cup of Tang Dynasty's Hero Wine for you. I'm not bragging, but hot pot and wine are a perfect match!"
Aubrey was stunned. He picked up the cup and smelled it, and immediately smiled. "Hey, it's actually real!"
"Why didn't you, why didn't you say so earlier …"
Arden only felt a burning sensation in his mouth, and a numbing sensation quickly spread to his cheeks as if he had been poisoned.
Aradeline's lips trembled as he asked, "T-Twain, t-t-this pot t-t-t-was it laced with a paralyzing poison …"
"Of course not. It's just some pepper to add some flavor. You're not used to it, but when you get used to it, you'll know how mesmerizing it is."
Tang En leisurely ate the meat slices and drink the wine, and he was very comfortable.
Fiona, Elsa and the rest were already mentally prepared, so they were the first to get used to it. They had already started eating in silence — because they knew that when the others got used to it, they might not be able to get anything to eat …
After Aubrey recovered, he slowly imitated Tang En and began to eat. Occasionally, he would take a small sip of wine.
"Hey!"
Aubrey's eyes glittered. "I have to say, it does feel pretty good!"
The fresh and tender meat slices were completely different from the usual grilled steak. The fresh taste and flavor immediately attracted them. The meat and vegetables on the table began to decrease at a visible speed. Thankfully, the kitchen of the royal family replenished them quickly enough, or there wouldn't have been enough for Aubrey and the rest of them.
At this moment, Victor glanced at Night Song, who was tied to a pillar by Tang En, and his lips twitched. He couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Earl Tang En, isn't it too much to treat a lady like this? Why don't you put the girl down for now and let her taste the food with us? Even if she is a fugitive, she can't escape as long as you're here. "
Tang En slapped his forehead. "Oh! I was so excited that I forgot about her. "
Victor: "…"
Olina: "…"
Night Song: "…"
Tang En snapped his fingers, and Night Song was caught by Hand of Magic and brought to him.
"Tsk. You're lucky. I'll feed you myself today."
"Let me —"
Olina felt sorry for her daughter, but she was stopped by Victor as soon as she opened her mouth.
Are you kidding me?
Pay attention to your current status!
"Open your mouth, ah —"
Looking at Tang En's seemingly caring but insidious smile and the meat slices stacked with red chili in front of her, Night Song's face was full of grief and indignation.
She wanted to go on a tragic hunger strike to let Tang En know her determination!
However, the hunger in her stomach and the aroma in her face defeated her reason …
"Wu!!!"
Looking at Night Song, whose face was red and eyes were filled with tears but unable to move, Tang En was satisfied.
