Chapter 35: Eating hot pot in a group

On Saturday morning, after Tang Yuyan came back from a morning run with her younger siblings, she started her day of study until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After Tang Yuyan glanced at the alarm clock that was "jingling the bell" and kept setting off, she reached out and turned off the alarm clock, and then cleaned up the school supplies on the desk.

After Tang Yuyan finished cleaning up, she returned to the bedroom, took a short coat and put it on, said hello to her mother and grandmother, and went out.

"I didn't have to wait long!" After Tang Yuyan saw Zhao Hanyue's back, she ran over and patted her left shoulder, and said when she came out from the right.

"You scared me, no, I just arrived, let's go!" Zhao Hanyue seemed to be really frightened, stroked her chest with her hand, and then held Tang Yuyan's arm and said.

"It's good that you know the way, otherwise I would have gotten lost." Tang Yuyan followed Zhao Hanyue for a while and turned a corner, and she was already dizzy.

"It's okay, I go there often, familiar," Zhao Hanyue patted the back of Tang Yuyan's hand and said.

"How long will it take for us to walk over," Tang Yuyan asked

"At our speed, we can definitely get there in forty minutes." Zhao Hanyue said confidently.

Tang Yuyan raised her hand and looked at her watch, and then said: "Then we will arrive at about 4 o'clock, which is much earlier than the agreed four and a half o'clock." ”

"Arrive early, you can order food in advance, stupid or not. Besides, there are so many people on the weekend, what if they forget to make an appointment? Zhao Hanyue looked like she really couldn't do anything about you, and instantly made Tang Yuyan laugh.

In this way, the two talked and laughed along the way to the agreed intersection.

Not long after Tang Yuyan and Zhao Hanyue arrived at the intersection, Xu Xinghai and Xiao Zhengze also came to the intersection.

"I didn't expect that we were all ahead of schedule," Xu Xinghai said with a smile as he looked at the two girls in front of him.

"No," Tang Yuyan returned

"Which hot pot restaurant are you talking about, I originally wanted to arrive early and order food in advance, but I didn't know which hot pot restaurant it was, so I could only wait here" Zhao Hanyue said depressedly.

"Come with me, it's a restaurant that has just opened for a short time, I came to eat it with my family last week, and it tastes great, you will definitely like it." Xu Xinghai said as he walked forward with his friends.

About ten minutes later, Xu Xinghai led everyone to stop in front of a restaurant called "Zhuangyuan Red Hot Pot".

"That's it, I heard that his child is the champion of this year's provincial college entrance examination, so he opened this champion red hot pot restaurant." Xu Xinghai introduced the origin of this hot pot restaurant, pushed open the door of the hot pot restaurant, and closed the door after Tang Yuyan remembered that several people had entered.

A few of them came relatively early, and there were not many people eating hot pot in the store.

"Welcome to the Champion Red Hot Pot Restaurant, is it four?" A delicate-looking waitress lady asked.

"Yes, just the four of us." Xu Xinghai said to the waiter.

"Okay, please inside." After the young lady finished speaking, she took Xu Xinghai and the four of them to the hot pot restaurant.

After being brought to a quieter space, Tang Yuyan and the others sat down in turn around a boxy table, and then the waiter took out a menu and handed it to Xu Xinghai.

Xu Xinghai first handed the menu in his hand to Tang Yuyan, but Tang Yuyan refused, saying anything. Zhao Hanyue, who was sitting next to Tang Yuyan, took over the menu, and then began to order happily.

Tang Yuyan asked for a mandarin duck pot, ordered a crispy pork and a large bottle of Sprite.

Zhao Hanyue ordered a luncheon meat, four servings of beef (considering the two male classmates, so I asked for four servings, not enough to add more), a pork brain flower (after asking Tang Yuyan and others, I found that she was the only one who loved to eat pork brain flowers, so she only ordered one), two servings of duck blood, two servings of duck intestines, two servings of hairy tripe, one serving of fish, one serving of boneless chicken feet, one part of loach, and two servings of kelp seedlings.

After Xu Xinghai took over the menu, he thought that he had ordered more meat (almost all of them), so he brought a serving of winter melon, winter bamboo shoots, spinach, tofu, white fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and mung bean sprouts.

In the end, Xiao Zhengze only ordered a quail egg, and ordered a brown sugar rice cake for the two girls as a sweet before the meal.

After placing the order, several people chatted happily.

"Tang Yuyan, do you know, when you said you were going to help your classmates during military training, you were so handsome." Xiao Zhengze looked at Tang Yuyan and said adoringly.

Tang Yuyan thought about it, and after finding that there was indeed such a thing, she smiled awkwardly and responded: "Actually, I just thought it was embarrassing to let a few girls stand like that, and it was not worth admiring." ”

After Tang Yuyan finished speaking, she picked up the tea cup in front of her, took two sips and put it down.

"Anyway, I just admired you, I didn't dare to squeak when I saw that the instructor was so serious," Xiao Zhengze continued.

After listening to Xiao Zhengze's words, Tang Yuyan unconsciously picked up the teacup in front of her and drank water.

"Oh, don't talk about this, think about it, we have more than two months to go on winter vacation, what are your plans." Zhao Hanyue said with a mixed question.

"I want to go home with my parents to greet my elders," Xu Xinghai said.

"I don't know yet" Tang Yuyan thought about it, and really didn't know what to do during the winter vacation.

"My parents also took me back to pay New Year's greetings to my elders," Xiao Zhengze said after thinking about it.

"It seems that I'm the only one who is crazy everywhere, hahaha," Zhao Hanyue said arrogantly.

Because Zhao Hanyue's family are all travel enthusiasts, Zhao Hanyue's mother is a photographer, and his father is a company, so he usually has little time, but when Zhao Hanyue is on vacation, he will put down his work and take Zhao Hanyue's mother and daughter to travel all over the country.

Next, Zhao Hanyue described some interesting stories that happened during her travels.

Listening to Zhao Hanyue's story, Tang Yuyan also felt that she should go out for a walk, but this plan is not in a hurry, and it can be arranged after graduating from high school.

"Your dishes are ready, everyone use them slowly, something is looking for me." The waiter's little brother put Tang Yuyan's dishes on a vegetable shelf, and then left.

"Come on, come on, I'll put the meat in first, and when it's opened, I can eat it." Xu Xinghai said as he poured the beef on the plate into the pot of red soup.

Tang Yuyan poured quail eggs and white fungus and other vegetables into the clear soup. Before pouring the dishes, Tang Yuyan saw that there were only two red dates in the bottom of the pot of clear soup, so she beckoned the waiter's little brother to add another red date.

The soul of hot pot may be the dipping sauce, and Tang Yuyan's S province mainly eats oil dish hot pot. Sesame oil is the key to the soul of hot pot. Add some crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, chopped green onions and coriander, and Tang Yuyan thinks it's perfect.

Some people will put some millet spicy, garlic and so on when eating hot pot, but Tang Yuyan doesn't like these, so she doesn't put them.

Xu Xinghai saw that Tang Yuyan ate sweetly, so he asked Tang Yuyan to help him also have a dipping sauce according to Tang Yuyan.

Of course, Tang Yuyan was duty-bound, and decisively helped Xu Xinghai to come with an identical dipping sauce.

"Yu Yan, let me tell you, it's best to blanch the hairy belly for 9 seconds, and the duck intestines are best to blanch for 15 seconds, so it's the best, you try it, I'll give you time." Zhao Hanyue put a plate of hairy belly and a plate of duck intestines in front of Tang Yuyan, and said highly recommended.

"Uh-huh, okay, let's do it together." Tang Yuyan said and beckoned the two boys on the opposite side to join the team of hot belly and duck intestines.

After 9 seconds, Zhao Hanyue shouted: "It's time", then quickly took out the hairy belly, and then put it in his own dipping bowl, dipped it in the seasoning, and blew it and ate it.

After eating, he looked at Tang Yuyan expectantly and said, "Yuyan, isn't it super delicious." ”

"Mmmm" Tang Yuyan ate her hairy belly, made a hmmmm

"I've been researching this for years, isn't it?" Zhao Hanyue said proudly to the two boys.

"Amazing, Zhao Hanyue, I didn't expect you to have this hand, it's so delicious." Xiao Zheng said praisefully.

"Well, it's delicious," Xu Xinghai nodded approvingly.

"Hey, come on, come on, eat fast, and Le." Zhao Hanyue said embarrassedly after hearing the praise of the two boys.

Then a table of people came and went, after eating beef and eating hairy tripe, eating duck intestines after eating hairy belly, eating duck intestines and vegetables, and after all the side dishes were eaten, several people were still unsatisfied, and then Xiao Zhengze ordered two more duck intestines.

By the time Tang Yuyan and a few people finished eating the hot pot, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and then the four of them paid AA.

After seeing a few twelve, thirteen or fourteen-year-old children coming to his house to eat hot pot, the shopkeeper questioned him, and after learning that it was to celebrate the high ranking of the midterm exam, he also took the initiative to give a 20% discount to a few little guys.

In the end, the boss said that a few of them are welcome to come back next time, and when the time comes, they will be given a 20% discount.

After Tang Yuyan thanked the boss, she walked to the door.

After leaving the champion red hot pot restaurant, Tang Yuyan and Zhao Hanyue said goodbye to Xu Xinghai and Xiao Zhengze respectively.

After Xu Xinghai watched Tang Yuyan and Zhao Hanyue walk away arm in arm, he also followed Xiao Zhengze home.

Coincidentally, Xiao Zhengze and Xu Xinghai are actually in the same community.

So after Xu Xinghai and the two returned home, they took a short rest, and then ran to the basketball court in the community with the basketball and then played.

may be because they are too full, Tang Yuyan and Zhao Hanyue went home much slower.

Along the way, the two people were leisurely, and after they arrived downstairs in the community, they dispersed.

After returning home, Tang Yuyan first went to change out of her clothes that smelled of hot pot, and then sat on the sofa and rested for a few minutes before getting up and returning to the study to continue studying.
