Volume 2 Chapter 1 Hot Pot
On the morning of the third day of the ice storm, Lu Yu's figure reappeared on the slope of the fairy pool, looking at the surrounding world like an ice sculpture, Lu Yu still couldn't help but be a little afraid, if he didn't have the ability to cross, I'm afraid it would have become a humanoid ice sculpture now.
After taking a turn around the igloo and confirming that no humanoid ice sculptures had been found, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, most afraid that he would return to the Tianlan World and see the ice sculptures of Ziyan and the three of them.
No humanoid ice sculptures have been spotted around now, which at least means that they are not in any danger to their lives in the ice storm.
When Lu Yu rushed to the fairy pool, he saw the scene that Ziyan and the three of them had seen before, and after more than two days, no one came up to collect the bodies of these people under the mountain, maybe those people were still worried about when the ice storm would appear.
More than two hours later, Lu Yu returned to the hot spring town, and saw that the three of Ziyan were safe and sound in the rental courtyard, and Lu Yu was completely relieved.
Ziyan and the three of them have been worried for the past two days, after not seeing Lu Yu at the bottom of the mountain, they don't know where Lu Yu went, if it weren't for Ziyan's firm belief that Lu Yu is not dead, the three of them will probably have to leave here and return to the capital.
Of course, if Lu Yu doesn't come back today, Xu Xia and Xia Yueming have also decided to return to the capital.
The tenth day of the first year is the day when the results of the scientific examination are announced, today is already the eighth day of the first month, and now we are leaving, and we can rush back to the capital in the evening of the ninth day of the new year, and the next day is the day when the results are announced.
Ziyan, Xu Xia and Xia Yueming were naturally very happy when they saw Lu Yu coming back, and asked where Lu Yu had gone in the past two days.
Lu Yu had already prepared it, and it was impossible for someone to think of such an important question when he was asked, "I felt that a person I knew appeared nearby, and the voice transmission asked me to go out to meet him, and he took me out of here...... you just know." ”
Lu Yu's words obviously had the meaning of concealing and not wanting to say, Xu Xia knew very well that the person who appeared in the environment at that time was not something that a monk like himself could peep at at all, but he wondered in his heart, what kind of person did Lu Yu know, he could ignore the existence of the ice storm, just thinking about it was admirable.
"We get it!"
Every monk has his own secrets, and as long as the other person is unwilling to tell them, no monk can force others.
On the way back to the capital, everyone did not have the heart to play in the mountains and rivers, and the carriage traveled day and night, and finally returned to the capital in the evening of the next day.
After returning to the capital, everyone first came to the Xu Mansion, and after the Xu Mansion got the confirmation news, a Xu Mansion servant led everyone to a small courtyard in the south of the city. The small courtyard is very small, the small courtyard of the second entrance covers an area of less than 100 square meters, but the design inside is very ingenious, the overall look is similar to the shape of the word "day", it is a two-story small building, there is a rockery pond in the middle, and you can plant grass and flowers next to it, it is a very elegant and quiet style, it is a place where the Xu family settled in the capital decades ago, if it were not for Xu Xia's pleading, the Xu family really did not lack this money to sell to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu didn't have any luggage, and the whole family was not hungry when he fed himself, so he pretended to have dozens of books.
There are a lot of things in Ziyan, but now they are all stored in the Chunjing Building, so I am not in a hurry to get them back. On the contrary, it was because of the joy of housewarming that the hostess Ziyan was busy.
"Tonight is the joy of housewarming, what does Brother Lu invite us to eat?"
Lu Yu saw that Ziyan was busy in the yard and couldn't find the north, in the past, others served Ziyan, but now he asked Ziyan to go to the kitchen in person, and he felt a little blind.
"I'll treat you to something special tonight!"
Saying that, Lu Yu asked Xu Xia and Xia Yueming to sit in the living room and drink tea, ran to the kitchen by himself, hugged Ziyan, who didn't know what to cook, and said, "I'll come!" ”
"Lu Lang, why don't we call a table of wine and food back!" Ziyan thought for a moment.
When Lu Yu used to work alone, he used to sell vegetables and cook by himself, if he bought it outside every day, he could save money there and save it, and after a long time, he could still take care of his basic life.
"Don't bother, you can help me wash the ingredients."
Caiyun was also helping Ziyan on the side, and after a while, he saw Lu Yu take out a copper pot, mix some spices and broth together, and then directly put the prepared ingredients on the plate, Ziyan didn't know what Lu Yu was going to do after watching it for a long time?
"Lu Lang, is this all right?"
"Alright!"
Ziyan looked suspicious, feeling that Lu Yu's behavior was a little strange, he had never seen such a meal.
"It's a hot pot!"
Xu Xia and Xia Yueming also looked around the copper pot, and saw that the copper pot was steaming, and the smell was quite fragrant, so they said curiously: "Brother Lu, how can you eat this!" ”
Lu Yu first poured the washed and sliced beef into the copper pot, and then adjusted the sauce for several people, and the meat slices rolled in the hot soup for a few breaths, and then picked up a piece of beef and dipped it in the sauce and sent it into his mouth.
In fact, Lu Yu didn't know what to cook before, but it was very convenient to see a pot cooked, so he bought some hot pot base from the supermarket, with some vegetables and meat, and gradually Lu Yu was able to make some hot pot base by himself, because it was very convenient to eat in this way, and if you can't finish one meal, you can eat the next meal, after a long time, the craftsmanship has also improved a little, and it is no problem to take it out and fool Xu Xia.
Xu Xia and the others ate it like Lu Yu, and found that the taste was very special, especially the spicy taste prepared by Lu Yu today was very appetizing, and the monk's tolerance was extremely strong, even if the spicy taste was very strong, they felt more energetic to eat.
Because the preparation was not sufficient, Lu Yu also used the spices of Tianlan World to make hot pot for the first time, and the taste was not very good, at least Lu Yu thought so.
It was the first time for Xu Xia and the others to eat like this, and this kind of practice was not available in Tianlan World, so Xu Xia and the others were more of a novelty.
"It tastes amazing!"
"I didn't expect there to be such a way to eat, Brother Lu taught us how to do it, and I ate like this every day after I went home."
"No problem, in fact, this method is very simple, the key is the preparation of the base and soup", Lu Yu was ashamed to introduce the method of hot pot to Xu Xia, thanks to the fact that there are many food programs on the main world TV, although it is impossible to try it in person, but Lu Yu can still remember some of the steps clearly.
"What I made today is spicy, and there are actually many flavors of hot pot, the key is to look at everyone's preferences."
"For example, spicy hot pot is mainly spicy, the firing method is mainly to use butter to fry the aroma of chili pepper and pepper, and then add some ingredients such as green onions, ginger and garlic, and finally boil with broth.
"Eating hot pot is to make it convenient and free, and any ingredient can be used to eat ......."
"It's pretty easy, I'll try it when I get home!" Xu Xia feels good, and he has basically mastered the practice of hot pot.
"Didn't you notice?" Xia Yueming said with a shy: "Do you remember the Yipin Xian we ate in Yanlailou?" Brother Lu's cooking technique is somewhat similar to Yipinxian, but the taste and method are a little different, but on the whole, it is the same. ”
"It seems to be really similar, Brother Xia said, I really feel a little similar?"
Everyone was very happy to eat a hot pot, and they simply stayed in the courtyard that Lu Yu had just bought at night, and went to the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to see the results.
