Early morning.

In the ruins of Yacheng, in the open space outside the former "Dalongmen" hot pot restaurant, the huge copper hot pot that was originally the treasure of the town store has been moved out.

This copper hot pot is nine meters in diameter, and it was originally placed in the lobby of the hot pot restaurant as an advertising sign to attract customers, but now it has been washed and refreshed, and the shiny hot pot sparkles in the sun.

The shop is located on the outskirts of the city, not far from the dense woods, and the setting is extremely elegant.

In the fire seat under the hot pot, huge pieces of charcoal are burning slowly, and flames and smoke are spewing out from the central fire tube.

Next to this huge copper hot pot are several large cauldrons that sit on the fire and are used to prepare other ingredients.

After coming to the ruins of Yacheng, Zuo Chen prepared for a long time, and then rested for another night, and then got up and started cooking.

Cloves, star anise, cumin, grass fruit, sand kernels, sannai, patica, white cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, bay leaves, etc., all kinds of spices are mashed and stirred together.

A large number of mutated peppers and peppercorns are crushed and prepared after detoxification.

Although there is no butter, there are quite a few canola oils and other vegetable oils that can be used temporarily.

Although it was the first time to make Sichuan-style hot pot, Zuo Chen visited famous chefs all over the ruins of the city, sucked up the brains of more than a dozen chef zombies, and now basically has many years of experience as a master.

After the oil in the pot was cooked, Zuo Chen immediately skillfully put in the green onions, ginger and garlic to bring out the fragrance.

Then take out the green onion, ginger and garlic, pour in the chili, continue to boil, wait until the chili is almost boiled, then pour in the mashed spices, turn to high heat and pour in the peppercorns after 30 minutes, and add rock sugar at the same time.

Layers of aroma emanate from the pot where the base is stir-fried and spread out to the surroundings.

Due to the use of a large number of mutated plants as spices, the dark energy contained in them was also stimulated, making the aroma as if it were substance, centered on the wok, swirling around the ruins of Yacheng, and then dispersing towards the wilderness of Sichuanzhou.

While drooling, Zhao Ritian commanded dozens of zombies, holding the door panel and fanning the wind, blowing the fragrance in all directions.

Guoguo also drooled and stared intently at the orange cat who was frying the base, her big watery eyes shining with golden light.

Dad when he cooks, he is the most handsome dad!

The orange cat's long tail stirred in the pot with a huge iron spoon, staring at the color change of the base and grasping the heat.

When the color turned bright crimson, he immediately extinguished the bonfire under the pot, and breathed a long sigh of relief, revealing a satisfied look.

The hot pot base is ready, and then you can eat hot pot.

"Wang, Brother Mao, are we going to eat vegetarian hot pot?" Zhao Ritian asked worriedly on the side.

Although a lot of vegetables have been picked and all of them have been detoxified, but there is no meat at all, can it be called hot pot?

"Baa-" Suddenly, a sharp sheep cry came, followed by a heavy hoof sound from far and near.

Then I saw a huge figure with a height of three meters leaping on the roofs of one house after another, coming in the direction where they were!

It's a mutated goat full of horns!

The mutant goat was more than three meters tall and looked extremely huge, almost like a moving truck, and with a "boom" jumped off the roof of the house in front of them and landed in front of them.

The goat's mouth is full of dense sharp teeth, like that of a shark, and has barbs.

Its eyes were blood-red, flashing with a look of madness and greed, staring at the cauldron where Zuo Chen was boiling the base.

It didn't know what the cat was doing, but the smell of the pot was so tempting that it could smell it clearly outside the ruins of Yacheng, so it rushed over at once.

The cat and the dog, and the little human, all looked delicious!

"Drip ...... Dark Energy Ingredient Detected, Flame Horn Sheep, Level Neutral, Level 30. ”

Hearing the judgment of the food system, Zuo Chen couldn't help but smack his lips, and then he flicked his tail, pointed to a big sign next to him with a changed door panel, and said, "There are good meows?" If you want to eat, you have to pay. ”

There are a few big words written on the big sign:

Collect energy fragments, one fragment for a meal, operate on a small budget, and do not take credit.

The mutant goat showed a confused look, as if he couldn't read the words at all, and he couldn't understand Zuo Chen's meaning.

Then it let out a roar again, lowered its body, and rushed directly towards Zuo Chen!

Obviously, this mutant goat is far from reaching the level of opening intelligence, and is just an ordinary mutated animal.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chen showed a smile and glanced at Zhao Ri.

Isn't this the meat coming!

The mutant goat's horns were full of dozens of horns, sharp as knives, and they rushed towards Zuo Chen with a low roar.

It was so fast that the tips of its horns even made a whistling sound that tore through the air!

The cat and dog in front of him are just mutated animals that are lower than it, and that little human girl is even more ordinary, just enough to cook a big meal for it!

"Guoguo, eat meat and meow!" Zuo Chen continued to stir the bottom of the pot while shouting to Guoguo.

"Here we go!" Guoguo screamed happily, jumped up, and appeared in front of the mutant goat in an instant, and at the same time, his little hand scratched in the air, and said in his mouth: "Meat!" ”

I saw an energy slash instantly appear in the void, cutting off the head of the mutant goat in the run!

The mutant goat only felt a sudden whirlwind in his field of vision, and the last thing he saw was his headless body running forward a few more steps, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Zhao Ritian immediately took a basin to catch the goat's blood, and then dragged the mutant goat to the house, and began to disembowel, cleaning up the whole goat.

The whole dog had a smile on his face, looking forward to a feast that would begin later.

Follow the cat brother to have meat to eat!

In the open space outside the house, the blood stains left by the mutant goat just now were cleaned up by a few zombies, as if nothing had happened.

And Guoguo once again put away the energy of her whole body, and obediently moved a small horse to sit aside, looking at the big hot pot in front of her and showing a happy smile.

Soon, several huge sheep bones had been shaved out and thrown directly into the copper hot pot to make broth.

Zuo Chen then poured a large pot of fragrant base into the pot and began to officially prepare the shabu-shabu.

"If you have a meow, it's not enough to have mutton...... How do you meow hard vegetables such as pork brain flower and tripe......" Zuo Chen said to himself worriedly while stirring the base soup with a huge spoon.

I knew I wouldn't make hot pot.

Originally, I thought it was more convenient to make hot pot, just need to boil a water and shabu shabu, but who would have thought that it would be extremely troublesome to start making it.

I fried the ingredients for a long time just for a long time, and the ingredients were not enough.

Soon, under the dual effect of boiling and spices, the broth in the hot pot exudes a richer aroma, superimposed on the aroma of the previous base, surging in all directions like ocean waves, and you can even see the actual steam waves!

At this moment, I heard a roar, and a huge mutated wild boar came galloping from a distance, like a cannonball.

The aroma of the hot pot made the mutant boar crazy, he had never smelled this rich aroma before, and there was also an aura of energy that made him want to eat everything in front of him!

Running all the way, he has come to the source of the smell, and he will soon be able to feast!

A pair of small eyes stared round, and a pleasant "hum" came out of his mouth, and the wild boar couldn't wait.

Suddenly, the orange cat in front of him waved the big spoon in his hand and shouted to him, "Can you talk?" Can you read or write? At the same time, he pointed to the big sign next to him.

The wild boar was stunned, completely unaware of what the prey in front of him was doing, and continued to rush forward.

It's just that he just came to a place more than ten meters away from the cauldron, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a huge pig's head had risen to the sky!

Guoguo's whole body was full of energy, and her little face was full of smiles.

There are pigs to eat!

Looking at the mountain-like boar body in front of him, Zuo Chen couldn't help but smile. Although this pig has no wisdom, it also has a dark energy level of more than forty levels, and it is already a quasi-beast king, and the meat must be delicious.

At the same time, he said happily: "Say what meow will come to what meow, pig brain flower has it, and tripe is also ......"

Before he finished his sentence, he heard a crazy roar from a small forest next to him: "Moo————"

Then a huge figure rose from the woods and rushed in the direction of the hot pot!

This is a mutant ox, the whole cow stands up, the whole body is covered with heavy scale armor, a body of tendon flesh shining in the sun, and the horns on the head are like sharp swords that go straight into the sky, more than a meter long!

What's even more shocking is that his whole body was full of surging energy fluctuations, and he had reached the level of the Beastmaster!

Still in the air, the scalper had already let out a wild roar: "What smell? Let my old cow taste it too! ”

In the next moment, the scalper beast king fell in front of Zuo Chen's family with a "boom".

He was about to step forward arrogantly, the corpse of the mutated boar came into view, and then he smelled a heavy smell of blood, and when he looked up, in the room in front of him, the corpse of a powerful mutant goat was dismantled.

The wild boar in front of him, he had encountered it before, although he was a fool who couldn't communicate, his strength should not be underestimated, and now he died here!

Look at the head, it was completely cut off with a knife!

No, it's nothing, it's the little human girl who really scares him!

As a beastmaster, he has an extremely keen perception of energy, and he can clearly feel how terrifying the energy aura on the little girl's body is, it is like a bottomless black hole......

The Beastmaster only felt his legs tremble, instantly understood his situation, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

Then I saw the little girl raise her hand and point at him, and said to the orange cat with a smile: "Daddy, daddy, tripe!" ”
