Donglaishun is not far from the school, a ten-minute walk away. A large group of people were talking and laughing on the road soon, and before they reached the door of Donglaishun, the boss waved to a pair of men and women standing at the door of Donglaishun and said loudly: "Second! Here's it! ”

Chu Cheng turned his head and saw that our eyes lit up, but his mouth was shouting, "What are you doing, this is also slow." I've finished all of your efforts. ”

I rolled my eyes and said angrily, "Come on, when a few of us haven't gone out to eat hot pot with you?" After eating the meat and vegetables, you can also sit there and eat a bowl of coriander with sesame sauce. Why just the two of you, Turin's father? ”

Turin smiled and said, "My dad went to see the client." The main purpose of his visit to the imperial capital this time was to meet customers, and the secondary purpose was to come to see my daughter. ”

I nodded, in fact, it is undoubtedly a good thing for us that her father in Turin is not coming, otherwise there is an older generation of elders sitting next to us, and no one will let go.

Walking into Donglaishun, it is not a meal now, and there are not many people in the restaurant. Most of the tables in the lobby were empty, with only a few occupied.

I looked at the tables in the hall and found that most of them were four-person tables, which was not enough for us, so I asked for a private room.

In the imperial capital, just as when you mention roast duck, you first think of Quanjude, and when you mention shabu-shabu, the first thing that is mentioned is always Donglaishun. Founded in 1903, the brand has grown to a long-established brand.

Walking into the box, a round table is placed in the center of the box, this table is different from the ordinary round table, there is a round hole in the middle, which is used to put the copper pot of shabu-shabu.

Before I came to the imperial capital to go to university, I thought that the hot pots in both the north and the south were the same, with induction cookers, large iron pots, and a bunch of vegetables and meat in the fish soup or broth, and when they were cooked, they were eaten between them.

When I came to the imperial capital, I realized that the hot pot in the imperial capital is not called hot pot, and it is generally called shabu mutton. The more official saying is mutton hot pot, in the north, when it comes to hot pot, it generally refers to this by default.

The legend of shabu mutton originated in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, commanded a large army to the south. One night, after a day of fighting, Kublai Khan, who was sleepy and hungry, suddenly came up with the dishes of his hometown to stew mutton, so he ordered his subordinates to kill the sheep and burn the fire. As a result, just as the man was slaughtering sheep and cutting meat, a spy suddenly reported that the enemy was approaching. Kublai Khan, who was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, waited for the mutton to be eaten, and he shouted as he ordered his troops to pull out: "Mutton! Mutton! The cook knew that he had a short temperament, and if this matter did not go his way, he would not be able to eat his human flesh when he turned his head after the pulling, so he was in a hurry, cut off more than ten thin pieces of meat with a flying knife, put them in boiling water and stirred them a few times, and when the color of the meat changed, he immediately fished them into a bowl, sprinkled them with fine salt, and sent them to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan ate a few bowls and turned over his horse to lead his army to meet the enemy, and the result was a victory.

When preparing for the celebration banquet, Kublai Khan specially ordered the mutton slices. The chef selected the tender meat of the sheep, cut it into thin slices, and served it with various condiments, and the handsome people were full of praise after eating. The chef hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There is no name for this dish yet, please give it a name." Kublai Khan replied with a smile: "I think it's called 'mutton shabu'!" Since then, "shabu mutton" has become a court delicacy.

The door of the box was pushed open, and a waiter walked in with a cart with a copper pot on it, which was divided into two parts, the upper layer was the bottom of the pot that had not yet boiled, and the lower layer was the charcoal fire that had burned red.

My seat happened to be the one closest to the door, and when the waiter picked up the copper pot and wanted to put the hot pot in the hole in the center of the round table, I clearly felt a wave of heat rushing from the fire door in the lower half of the copper pot.

After the bottom of the pot was served, the dish came up quickly, a plate of meat in front of a person, and the dishes they wanted to eat, after the dish came up, everyone was obviously much more energetic, and they picked up chopsticks and started.

When everyone was busy eating, Chu Cheng looked a little different, this guy was busy serving Turin, pouring sesame sauce for coriander, and sending meat to the bowl after shabu.

Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You might as well chew it directly and feed it to Turin, it's easy to digest if you can swallow it directly." “

Chu Cheng glanced at me lightly, "If it weren't for your group of animals here, I guess I would do this now." ”

"Ahem"

Xiao Yayun, who was drinking water on the side, suddenly choked on Chu Cheng's words, looked at Chu Cheng, who did not change his face, and Turin, who was already flushed, and said in surprise: "Isn't it Turin, you two are playing so openly?" ”

I looked at Chu Cheng and said with a wicked smile: "That is, in society, I, Brother Chu, have never taken the usual path. ”

Chu Cheng's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and the mutton that was originally headed towards Turin's bowl with chopsticks in his hand turned a corner, crossed Turin and Xiao Yayun, and fell directly into my bowl, looking at me and smiling bitterly: "Brother, are you my own brother." ”

Xiao Yayun frowned, "My intuition tells me, there must be something wrong here." Turin, you know what's going on? ”

Turin's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, raised his head and glared at me and Chu Cheng fiercely, but did not speak.

The people around me looked at me and Chu Cheng blankly, and they couldn't guess what dumb riddle Chu Cheng and I were playing. I smiled and ate on my own, without revealing the mystery.

Lao Wu, the only guy who didn't bring his family, was the first to react, and after taking a deep look at Chu Cheng, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and his mouth began to hum a melody.

The fourth child sitting next to the fifth child looked at the fifth child in surprise, "Look at the chrysanthemums that are full of mountains, why are you humming the song of chrysanthemums full of mountains?" ”

The fifth child smiled, "I suddenly remembered it and hummed casually." ”

Chu Cheng looked at me and Lao Wu with an almost begging look, "Can we change the subject?" ”

I laughed and raised my glass to the fifth child and smiled: "Old five, don't say anything, replace the wine with tea!" ”

Seeing this, the boss's eyes gurgled, "Second brother, give me a little enoki mushroom!" ”

Chu Cheng, who was already a little abnormal mentally stimulated by me and Lao Wu one after another, suddenly exploded, "What do I rely on!" You let your own sister give you a shabu-shabu! ”

The boss smiled slightly, "Don't shabu, look at those flowers, chrysanthemums are full of mountains." ”

Chu Cheng didn't say a word, picked up the enoki mushrooms on the plate and threw them into the copper pot, "Don't sing!" I'll give you a shake for it, all of them are my own brothers. ”

Before I went to Russia, after Chu Cheng and I just returned to the imperial capital, when Turin first came to the imperial capital, this pair of ** young people rolled the sheets in the hotel. And that night, Chu Cheng, a guy with a full theoretical level and a zero practical level, successfully took the wrong path.

This matter has become the most useful trick I can use to threaten Chu Cheng at present.
