During lunch that day, the aroma of hot pot actually wafted from the entrance of the cave in the cold weather.
Hot and fragrant!
Unexpectedly, using a stone pot to make hot pot has a unique flavor.
What's even more incredible is that Mu Yuan continued to polish the stone. The concave part in the middle can be used for hot pot, and the surrounding flat part can also be used for making teppanyaki!
He didn't know what kind of herbs he used in the hot pot soup base, but it actually gave it a spicy taste.
Add a few pieces of wild wax honey, a little oil boiled from the meat of the sizzling bird, and the sea salt he brought with him when he went out.
The soup base immediately overflowed with aroma and was delicious.
He used flat stones to create two small tables around the stone pot, and placed several portions of ingredients on them.
After You Qingge dictated it, he developed the thin fish fillet himself.
Cut the fish as thin as paper, put it in a stone pot and rinse it immediately after three seconds. It is fresh and delicious.
He also picked a lot of wild vegetables, as well as thin slices of winter bamboo shoots that had been blanched to remove the bitterness, and mushrooms hidden under the tree trunks, which were cut into pieces of pheasant meat.
As well as mussels and clams dug out of the river.
Chu Qingge felt that even if she ate hot pot in a hot pot restaurant in the 21st century, it would probably only consist of these ingredients.
Not to mention, the wild vegetables and game of this era are completely incomparable to the farmed ingredients of the 21st century.
She actually had an unimaginably sumptuous hot pot meal on such a winter day while on the run!
Besides Mu Yuan, who else in this world can do it?
"Actually..." She was a little embarrassed, really embarrassed, "I actually didn't want you to go through such trouble."
The sentence "I want to eat hot pot" was really just a casual comment.
In the middle of winter, who doesn’t want to eat hot pot?
I really want to eat it from the bottom of my heart.
But after saying that, in order to recover from her injuries, she went back to the cave to sleep, and did not take this matter to her heart.
Unexpectedly, after taking a nap, she was awakened by the aroma of hot pot soup base. When she woke up, she saw that there was actually a big meal waiting for her.
"Aren't your boots dry yet?" She glanced at Mu Yuan who was sitting beside him.
He had just wet his shoes and socks to dig for clams in the river, and now his shoes and socks were still drying.
It's winter, he's barefoot, it's so cold!
Mu Yuan, however, didn't take it seriously at all and said with a smile: "It'll be ready in a while. Eat it quickly. The chicken is about to be cooked. How does it taste?"
It was his first time cooking like this, and he just listened to her talking longingly about her past "eating hot pot" before falling asleep.
Cut the fish into very thin slices and the chicken into pieces, cook them in a pot, and eat them while cooking.
There are also many fresh vegetables, which are boiled in a pot and eaten while cooking.
This is his understanding of hot pot, and the ingredients he prepares based on this understanding.
But it seemed like she was quite satisfied.
As long as the princess is satisfied, he will be happy and staying with the princess is joy and happiness.
Qingge picked up a piece of chicken and put it in a bowl. After it cooled down a bit, she immediately threw it into her mouth.
The smell moved her so much that she almost shed tears.
It really tastes like hot pot.
Why is her Mu Yuan so magical?
"What are you doing?" After eating several pieces of chicken in one go, Mu Yuan was actually grilling meat on a stone nearby!
"There are no bison on this mountain. I caught a small wild boar. The princess made do with it and ate the roasted wild boar first."
Mu Yuan held the chopsticks made of tree branches and turned the thinly sliced wild boar meat over on the hot stones.
