Chapter 59 The Stubborn Caesar
Hearing that Chu Ge wanted to treat them to hot pot, the experienced seniors found an excuse and left. The only ones following were Ye Sheng, Caesar, Chen Motong, Su Qian, and Chu Zihang.
As the team leader, Ye Sheng couldn't escape, so Chu Ge took them to a popular local hotpot restaurant. In fact, he had planned it and booked a private room in advance.
They sat down around the round table, starting from Chu Ge's left, followed by Caesar, Chen Motong, Su Qian, Chu Zihang, and Ye Sheng.
Except for Caesar, everyone else saw Chu Ge using a pen to tick red soup and extra spicy on the menu, and they already anticipated the terrifying battlefield they were about to face.
Their tastes are generally bland. Of course they have eaten hot pot before, but they were limited to mandarin duck pot and slightly spicy ones.
Chu Zihang rarely spoke. He just asked the waiter for three boxes of milk, one for him, and one for Susie and Nono next to him.
As far as he knows, milk can alleviate spiciness because the casein in milk can bind to capsaicin, and the binding speed is faster than the speed of absorption by the gastrointestinal tract.
Spicy is actually not a taste, but a sense of pain. It is the burning sensation caused by capsaicin stimulating the nerves. The product of the combination of casein and capsaicin will not stimulate the nerves and cause the burning sensation, so it can alleviate the spiciness.
Caesar was not aware of the danger at all, he just looked at the drinks on the menu and frowned. He was not very satisfied with the wine on it, and the corresponding price did not even qualify him as a mouthwash.
But it is obviously unrealistic for him to order high-grade champagne or red wine at a hot pot restaurant.
Chu Ge looked at the milk in front of Chu Zihang, and then at Caesar who was still struggling with which wine to drink. He also thought that Caesar's usual tastes were all carefully prepared delicacies from top restaurants, and he was worried about his fragile digestion.
The system failed this test.
"Caesar, why don't you also bring a box of milk?" Chu Ge persuaded.
Caesar raised his head and was about to think about it, but after seeing the milk in front of Chu Zihang, he said without hesitation:
"Only girls and children need to drink milk. Real men should drink strong alcohol at this time."
This sentence was obviously aimed at Chu Zihang, but Chu Zihang just frowned and did not choose to reply. Anyway, Caesar would know that he was wrong later.
"To be honest, I think you will need it."
Chu Ge tried to persuade Caesar. He didn't want Caesar to go to the hospital for emergency treatment in the middle of the night. If someone photographed the department where Caesar went, it would become a hot spot on the Night Watch forum.
You can always trust Fingel on this point, the biggest loser in Kassel College and the head of the Information Department. Chu Ge knows everything with his feet. This guy must be monitoring the movements in Jiangcheng using Norma's deep personality EVA.
"No, I don't need it." Caesar said firmly.
"Okay."
Chu Ge knew that the tough-talking Caesar would not compromise at this time, so he quietly ordered a box of milk from the waiter and deposited it with Chu Ge first.
A few minutes later, an aunt brought the bottom of the red soup pot. The expression on Caesar's face froze. He stared at the boiling red soup, and his mind went blank for a short time.
The soup, as red as magma, keeps popping bubbles and exploding. As various ingredients fall into the pot and roll, the dense peppercorns on the red soup surface are daunting. The steaming water vapor fills the place with pungent spiciness.
In the room.
This scene fell in Caesar's eyes, like a drawing of hell. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Others had already started to take action. He held the chopsticks in his hand and started to drop them from nowhere.
So Caesar picked up a peanut first, and then a piece of crispy meat. Only these snacks didn't look so scary.
At this time, Chen Motong thoughtfully picked up a piece of spicy beef from the pot and put it into the Caesar bowl. There were two peppercorns on the beef.
"Nono..." Caesar called out Chen Motong's nickname.
"Eat quickly, or they will snatch all the meat." Nuonuo said with a bad smile.
Caesar forced a smile on his face, then shook off the peppercorns on the surface of the beef, put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
"It doesn't seem as spicy as I thought." Caesar whispered to Nuonuo.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The more you eat hot pot, the more you get addicted. Just like drinking alcohol, the energy will come back later," said Nono.
Caesar dubiously picked up the food from the pot. He thought it was quite delicious just now.
This is one of the charms of hot pot. The spicier it is, the more you want to eat it. But everyone else has heard of the reputation of Jiangcheng's extra spicy hot pot and eats it with caution.
Among them, Susie couldn't eat spicy food the most, so she brought a small bowl with light tea in it, and rinsed it with tea before eating to reduce the spicy taste.
As a native of Jiangcheng, Chu Ge is particularly fond of spicy food, and hot pot is a daily meal for him.
What he didn't expect was that Nuonuo could actually eat spicy food. Ye Sheng and Chu Zihang were almost at the same level, so they could take it easy for a while.
Ten minutes later, Caesar's mouth turned completely red, sweat continued to break out from his body, and he was even forced to cry. He no longer had the graceful demeanor of the noble young master before.
Nono patted Caesar on the shoulder and laughed, and even took out his mobile phone to take a photo. Caesar was really generous and cooperated with Nono to take this photo.
Chu Ge silently handed him the milk. Seeing that Caesar was still hesitating, Chu Ge whispered:
"Your body is your capital. You don't want to end up in the hospital when everyone is out tomorrow. If Chu Zihang takes this time to find the dragon first..."
Caesar no longer hesitated, took the milk carton and drank it slowly. Chu Zihang originally wanted to say a few words, but he was also stung, and his iceberg face was rarely melted.
Fifty steps lead to a smile at a hundred steps. Moreover, with Caesar's pride, Chu Zihang chose not to say it, which would make him feel more uncomfortable than if he did.
The hot pot was finished quickly. Chu Ge just asked them to try the extra spicy hot pot. If they really wanted to eat with such spiciness, he might have to send Caesar and others to the hospital in the middle of the night.
But looking at things like this, Chu Ge could almost imagine what kind of treatment their lower bodies would receive after going to the toilet.
In other words, even dogs find their mouths too hot.
After that, Caesar rarely spoke anymore, and kept pouring cold mineral water into his mouth, which finally relieved him.
Chu Ge stood beside him and asked with a smile: "How do you feel? Do you want to try it next time?"
After Caesar took a deep breath, he responded: "It's okay. I'll come again if I have the chance, but I want to taste other types of food."
He is Caesar and will never give in easily.
Kassel College promotes Chinese teaching, so Caesar's Mandarin is quite good, but after eating the extra spicy hot pot, his speech was obviously a bit unclear.
It was extremely cold in the evening style, but this cold wind was just right for everyone who had just finished eating hot pot. Caesar's long golden hair was fluttering in the wind. He raised his head and his eyes were magnificent sea blue. Unfortunately, his Greek sculpture-like figure
The face and mouth were abnormally red and swollen, looking a bit funny.
Chu Ge checked his surroundings. Well, the content of Fen dogs in the air was close to zero, so it was safe. Caesar, a proud lion, didn’t have to worry about being photographed ugly by Fen dogs.
"Where do you want to go next? Do you want to have some desserts and a cup of milk tea?" Chu Ge was like a tour guide leading a group.
"If you can, take us there." Ye Sheng said, "The purpose of our coming is to look for dragons that appear in Jiangcheng. We hope you can cooperate."
