264 Vegetarian Hot Pot

In order to celebrate their kinship, Yu Niaoniao decided to make hotpot tonight!

Tang Guixi had lived with Yu Niaoniao in Bashu for three years. In those three years, she had eaten a lot of delicacies. Among them, her favorite was Sichuan hotpot. It was fragrant and spicy, and she ate it with gusto!

Knowing that she could eat her favorite hotpot tonight, Tang Guixi was very excited, but then she lowered her head.

“But I’m still mourning. I can’t eat meat.”

!!

Yu Niaoniao clapped her hands. “Then let’s make a vegetarian hotpot!”

Tang Guixi had never eaten a vegetarian hotpot and was very curious.

“How do you make a vegetarian hotpot?”

“You’ll see.”

Yu Niaoniao borrowed the kitchen of Prince Min’s Mansion.

She first used soybean sprouts, cabbages, mushrooms, corn, carrots, dried mushroom roots, white radishes, and other ingredients to boil a pot of clear and delicious vegetarian soup.

With this soup base, she added a small amount of celery and oil tofu. The soup gradually turned white and was seasoned with salt and pepper.

Yu Niaoniao started another pot with red soup base. The rapeseed oil was heated up. She added pepper, vine pepper, bean paste, garlic, and dried chili segments to stir-fry the base. Then, she added chili slices and continued to stir-fry until the red oil was stir-fried. She added a gourd full of water. After boiling, she added white sugar, soy sauce, and a small amount of salt.

She divided the washed onions into two portions, tied them into a small knot, and threw them into the red and white soup.

Tang Guixi placed the washed dishes on the table.

“Sister, do you think these dishes are enough?”

Yu Niaoniao looked back. “Yes, this is enough. After I mix the sauce, we can eat later.”

Tang Guixi stood next to her and couldn’t help but slurp when she saw the bottom of the pot boiling.

“It smells so good!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’ll write down the cooking method later. If you want to eat it in the future, get the chef to cook it for you according to the recipe.”

Tang Guixi nodded hard. “Yes!”

The luckiest thing for her after losing her memory was to meet Yu Niaoniao. Not only did Yu Niaoniao save her, but she also made a lot of delicious food for her and supported her when she at her most helpless and confused state.

Tang Guixi suddenly said.

“Sister, I’ve felt that my father is a hero since I was young. I knew that he was very good at fighting. He could protect his country and earned the admiration of many people. But I hate him sometimes.”

Yu Niaoniao asked as she cut the vegetables.

“Why?”

“My father is always very busy. It’s very difficult for him to go home. He would only come back for a day or two occasionally. He did not have much time for me. don’t think he’s a qualified father. Protecting the country sounded very powerful, but the country was so big. What did it have to do with me? I just want my father to spend more time with me.”

“It is only now that I could really understand my father. The reason why he wanted to protect the country was that he had family in this country. The soldiers risked their lives for no other reason than for their families to be safe.”

“Although my parents are no longer around, I still have you as my sister. From now on, you will be my only family. I will guard Liaodong County well and not let those bad people outside barge in and disturb your life.”

Tang Guixi hoped that her sister could continue living so freely. She wanted Yu Niaoniao to only consider what to eat for three meals a day and not worry about anything else.

Yu Niaoniao was so touched that her eyes were red and her tears were about to come out.

“Sister, you’ve really grown up. I’m so relieved.”

Tang Guixi was very embarrassed.

Immediately after, she saw Yu Niaoniao place the kitchen knife on the chopping board.

“Since you’ve grown up, you can help me cut these little red peppers. My eyes can’t take it anymore. They’re so spicy.”

Tang Guixi quickly asked, “What happened to your eyes?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I forgot to wash my hands after cutting the chili just now. Then, I wiped my eyes with my hand and cried from the spiciness.”

Tang Guixi was dumbfounded. It turned out that her sister was crying not because she was touched, but because of the chili.

Yu Niaoniao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and did not forget to remind her, “Remember to cut it into pieces. It’s best if you cut it into chili powder.”

Tang Guixi resigned herself to fate and picked up the kitchen knife to cut the chili.

Yu Niaoniao got someone to bring the hotpot, ingredients, and sauce to the dining room.

Xiao Juan and Prince Min had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Yu Niaoniao’s red eyes, they could not help but ask, “Why are you crying?”

Yu Niaoniao sniffed and spouted nonsense in all seriousness.

“When I was cutting the chili just now, I suddenly remembered an idiom about ruthlessness. I wanted to try it myself, so I put the finger that had just finished cutting the chili into my mouth. Then, I cried from the spiciness.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Hey, why aren’t you laughing? Isn’t my joke funny?”

Xiao Juan asked expressionlessly, “So did you really cry from the spiciness?”

Yu Niaoniao scratched her cheek. “Although the process is different, the result does seem to be the case.”

Shen Xu laughed out loud. “I think you cried because of your own stupidity!”

Xiao Juan looked at Shen Xu coldly, his eyes filled with death.

Shen Xu’s laughter stopped.

Xiao Juan said, “Niaoniao has been smart since she was young, but she’s occasionally a little silly. You’re not allowed to discriminate against her.”

Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

It was a good thing. Why did it sound so awkward?

Prince Min couldn’t wait to pick up the bowl and chopsticks. “This soup looks quite fragrant. How do you eat it? Do I scoop it up with a soup spoon?”

...

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “That’s not how you eat it.”

She poured the shredded bean skin into the pot and added some kelp, corn, mushrooms, vegetarian balls, and other dishes.

When the dishes were cooked, she picked them up with her chopsticks and rolled them in the dipping dish.

The dishes were wrapped in a thick sauce and put into their mouths.

It tasted fragrant and spicy, especially satisfying!

Prince Min and Shen Xu had never eaten food like this before and found it very refreshing.

They all picked up their chopsticks to cook.

As members of the royal family, they had eaten many delicacies. When this hotpot dish first entered their mouths, they did not think it was too stunning, but they did not seem to be able to stop their chopsticks. They kept picking up vegetables out of the pot. The more they ate, the more delicious it became and they could not stop.

Yu Niaoniao took out two vegetarian balls from the white soup and placed them in Xiao Juan’s bowl.

“You don’t have a good stomach. It’s best not to eat spicy food. Try this vegetarian meatball. I made it myself. It’s filled with mushrooms, fungus, and shepherd’s purse.”

Xiao Juan took a bite of the vegetarian meatball. It was refreshing and sweet.

...

“It’s delicious.”

Yu Niaoniao scooped up a piece of white radish from the pot and placed it in his bowl.

“Eat more radishes. It’s good for your body.”

No matter what food she picked up, Xiao Juan ate it all.

Yu Niaoniao knew that he could not eat too much. When he was almost done, she stopped and buried her head in her food.
