(Change first, then change, code word in progress...)
Yes, she is exactly the Jiang Rumeng Ye Mengqiu misses about at night.
As for the other one, he could guess without even thinking about it that she should be Jiang Rumeng’s best friend Shen Lanlan.
Ye Mengqiu quickly walked up to Jiang Rumeng and took the suitcase from her hand.
"Mengmeng, you are finally here. I have prepared the hot pot." He said first, then looked at Shen Lanlan and asked with a smile: "This must be Lan Lan, right?"
……
Seeing Ye Mengqiu's actions, a trace of envy flashed in Shen Lanlan's eyes.
She was not surprised that Ye Mengqiu could recognize Jiang Rumeng at a glance. She just assumed that the two had videotaped many times before.
She generously introduced herself: "Yes, I am Lan Lan. My surname is Shen, and my name is the same as the name of the game, also called Lan Lan."
Ye Mengqiu looked at Shen Lanlan and responded: "Ye Mengqiu, Lan Lan, you can call me Ye Zi. Of course, you can also call me Ye Luo like in the game.
"By the way, you are all hungry. I have prepared the hot pot. Now let's go back and cook the meat and eat the hot pot."
Hearing Ye Mengqiu's words, Shen Lanlan's eyes lit up. She was indeed a little hungry at the moment.
"Haha, Mengmeng told me this. Since Ye Zi invites me, it just so happens that I can also be blessed with Mengmeng." She agreed, while not forgetting to tease Jiang Rumeng.
Hearing Shen Lanlan's words, Jiang Rumeng was slightly embarrassed and said nothing.
Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Ye Mengqiu held the suitcase in one hand and Jiang Rumeng's hand in the other, and began to lead them to their residence.
The place where Jiang Rumeng and the two got off the bus was not far from Ye Mengqiu's residence, so the three of them quickly arrived at Ye Mengqiu's residence.
As soon as Ye Mengqiu opened the door, the two of them smelled a scent.
They saw that the table in the living room was filled with all kinds of tempting ingredients, and in the middle of them, there was an induction cooker with a pot on it. The smell they smelled was coming from the pot.
After Ye Mengqiu opened the door, he led the two of them to the table and sat down respectively.
He looked at the soup in the pot and said to the two of them: "Now you can add the ingredients. If you want to eat any dishes, just put them in."
Shen Lanlan was not polite and immediately picked up a few pieces of meat and put them into the pot. Then she picked up some golden needles and put them into the pot as well.
Ye Mengqiu looked at Jiang Rumeng and encouraged: "Mengmeng, you can also add some of your favorite dishes."
Jiang Rumeng was just staring at the hot pot, but after hearing Ye Mengqiu's encouragement, she also added some vegetables.
Ye Mengqiu was very pleased to see this, but he was worried that Jiang Rumeng would be too embarrassed because it was his first time here.
He himself did not add more vegetables to the pot. After all, adding too many vegetables at one time would affect the cooking speed of the ingredients, and may even cause the ingredients to burn at the bottom of the pot, affecting the taste of the hot pot.
A few minutes later, Ye Mengqiu found that the beef in the hot pot was already cooked.
He fished out a piece of beef and put it into Jiang Rumeng's bowl.
"Okay, the beef is already cooked. Let Mengmeng eat some to fill her stomach first." Ye Mengqiu looked at Jiang Rumeng lovingly.
Thinking of Jiang Rumeng not eating anything all afternoon, he felt pity for him, fearing that the other party would be hungry.
Of course, he did not forget another guest, Jiang Rumeng's best friend, Shen Lanlan.
After serving Jiang Rumeng, he turned to look at Shen Lanlan and greeted with a smile: "Lan Lan, you can eat too, you're welcome."
Jiang Rumeng looked at the beef in the bowl and noticed that Shen Lanlan was giving her a half-smiling look. She quickly lowered her head and pretended that she was eating meat seriously.
However, her cheeks still turned red with embarrassment.
After Ye Mengqiu finished speaking, he turned around and saw Jiang Rumeng's blushing face. He felt that her face looked really beautiful under the light of the light, and he was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Rumeng naturally felt the burning gaze from Ye Mengqiu, which made her even more afraid to raise her head.
"Ahem——"
At this moment, a slight cough sounded, bringing Ye Mengqiu back to his senses, and he immediately shifted his focus elsewhere.
Shen Lanlan looked at the two of them, feeling a little funny.
"Mengmeng, come on, eat more." She picked up a piece of meat from the hot pot and put it into Jiang Rumeng's bowl.
This, isn't this what I should do?
Well, Lan Lan is her best friend, and it is normal for the two of them to have a good relationship.
Ye Mengqiu looked at this scene and felt a little disgusted. He felt that Lan Lan was stealing his job.
However, when I think about Lan Lan being a girl and Jiang Rumeng’s best friend,
He suppressed the vinegary taste in his heart, then picked up a piece of meat from the hot pot, put it in his mouth and began to taste it.
After finishing the piece of beef, he asked the two of them: "How is it? Do you think this hot pot is okay?"
Shen Lanlan ate a piece of lotus root slices and nodded in response: "Yeah, it's quite delicious. I didn't believe it when Mengmeng said you were good at cooking, but now I do."
Hearing Shen Lanlan's answer, Ye Mengqiu smiled slightly and continued to look at Jiang Rumeng.
Jiang Rumeng just finished finishing a piece of beef, and when she saw Ye Mengqiu looking over, he immediately agreed: "I think it's delicious too."
"The hot pot you have here seems to be a little different from ours." Shen Lanlan looked at the ingredients on the table and said.
Ye Mengqiu said: "Normally, hot pot is different in every place. There are several different hot pots in Guangdong Province alone. In addition to today's hot pot, there are also seafood-based hot pot, beef-based hot pot,
And pork belly and chicken hotpot."
"Pork belly and chicken hot pot? What's that like?" Jiang Rumeng asked curiously.
Ye Mengqiu replied: "Pork belly and chicken hot pot usually uses raw pork belly to wrap the raw chicken and cook it in the soup. Take out the cooked chicken and cut it together, then put it back into the original soup and boil it. Drink it before eating.
Soup, drink the hot soup and then rinse the vegetables."
"Can I drink this soup?" Shen Lanlan asked.
Ye Mengqiu replied: "Okay, the soup base of the pork belly and chicken hot pot is still very delicious, so you should drink it at the beginning. If you wait until after rinsing the vegetables to drink it, you won't be able to taste the original flavor of the pork belly and chicken soup." While several people were chatting, they did not forget to add new ingredients to the hot pot.
Ye Mengqiu poured a few pork balls and beef balls into the pot and said: "These pork balls and beef balls are different from those sold in supermarkets. They are all authentic hand-made, so you can try them later."
"Is this any different from the ones sold in supermarkets?" Shen Lanlan asked.
Ye Mengqiu explained: "Of course, the beef balls and pork balls sold in supermarkets are basically mixed with a large amount of flour and other flavoring additives, and these are made by the master himself."
