Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1213, Section 1202: Happiness Before Our Eyes

Because it was a set meal, the food was served very quickly.

The large round table, which can seat ten people, doesn't seem big at all after being set with hot pot and dishes.

It was actually a bit small; the table could only hold about seventy dishes, and another thirty-odd dishes were placed on a three-tiered shelf next to the table.

Even though I had seen it in pictures and when I passed by downstairs, I was still just as shocked when so many dishes were placed in front of me.

No, it's even more shocking.

Who prepares 108 kinds of ingredients for hot pot?

Hot pot is the common type of divided pot (half hot pot, half cold pot).

It's burning.

On the left is a hot pot of spicy broth, dark red in color, with a layer of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns floating on top, emitting a fragrant aroma.

The sour soup pot on the right is also red, a bright red, with green garlic leaves floating in it. The soup is thicker than the spicy soup, a rich broth.

It also has a pleasant fragrance.

The sour taste hit my head, and I couldn't help but drool.

After all the dishes were served, the waiter brought over a tray with a pot of pale yellow corn juice and two pretty cups of yogurt fruit tea.

Of course, there are also four small dishes of thick, golden maltose, which look so elegant, fresh, and beautiful.

Liang Yue kept an eye on the waiter as she placed the corn juice on the table.

The yogurt fruit tea was placed in front of Liang Yue and Xiang Boming.

Finally, the four dishes of maltose were placed one by one next to the corn juice.

Before the pot boils, let's give the final explanation.

"Your meal is ready. Our hot pot broth is homemade and has a strong flavor, so please eat as much as you can and don't overeat."

"Both yogurt and corn juice have stomach-soothing properties and can protect the gastric mucosa."

"The drinks are intentionally made to be sweeter, as the sweetness can neutralize and alleviate the stimulation of spiciness and sourness on the taste buds to some extent, making the mouth feel more comfortable."

"have a good meal."

After the waiter calmly explained the precautions,

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered a reminder: "Maltose is too sweet to eat directly, and it might mask the flavors that follow. It's best to lick it little by little. Eat the sour broth first, then the spicy broth, and lick it a few times after each round. It's especially good. I have experience with this."

Such details?

Looks like they're really experienced; they've done this many times.

Liang Yue gave her a grateful look.

The waiter walked away briskly.

Mengjie and Erya looked at Liang Yue expectantly, waiting for her to explain what kind of hidden dungeon had been opened.
Liang Yue first poured a portion of maltose into the corn juice. The viscous liquid reluctantly left the small dish, crowding together into a large blob, and slowly slid into the pot.

Liang Yue picked up a spoon and scraped it clean, then dipped the spoon into the corn juice and stirred it.

Then he picked up the other two plates and gave them to Sister Meng and Er Ya.

She picked up the last plate herself. "This is the legendary maltose from Cat Head. The maltose in Cat Head's lollipops, gummies, hot sauce, and crispy ice cream is this. But if you want to taste pure maltose, you can only get it by placing an order during Cat Head's first live stream, that's the only time. It's also served with the corn juice at Pretty BBQ. I never expected to find the same corn juice here."

Liang Yue subtly showed off that she had successfully snagged an order on her first live stream, one of only two hundred people nationwide.

Unfortunately, it was too subtle, and the two people didn't hear it; they only heard "delicious barbecue."

"Wow, Yueyue, you actually managed to book such a beautiful barbecue!"

I've heard that many of Cat Head's goodies are only sold at Pretty BBQ, such as fried mushrooms, crayfish, yellow catfish, grilled fish, crispy beans, cold bean sprouts, corn juice, fragrant mulberries, and even delicious mushrooms.

In the summer, there are bands, and kids confessing their love and being rejected.

It is widely recognized as the most amazing barbecue restaurant in Tianhan.

Despite being called a barbecue restaurant, the barbecue itself is not famous at all, and almost no one eats there.

Reservations open at 7:00 AM every morning, and the longest record is 7:01 AM, with all seats always sold out in seconds.

I can't order it!

Unless you have a university acceptance letter.

Liang Yue smiled awkwardly; she had never been there before, and she hadn't been able to make a reservation last time.

I only saw corn juice served with maltose when I went to check it out.

However, she was one of the rare two hundred people who had managed to snag some maltose candy, and she wasn't swayed at all. She enthusiastically described how sweet maltose candy was when eaten directly, sweet to the core, sweeter than first love, sweet but not cloying, with a chewy texture and a delicate fragrance.

The description was a bit dry and unappealing.

But I have some in stock. It's sweet and quite fragrant, with an aroma that can mask the spiciness and sourness when you get close.

Er Ya couldn't resist any longer. She stuck out her tongue and licked it, her eyes immediately lighting up. "Sweet, so sweet..."

The description is even worse than Liang Yue's.

After saying that, he wanted to gulp it down in one go.

Liang Yue quickly stopped her, leaning closer to whisper, "No, no, no, take it slow. Last time... I went all out... and it was so easy."

"Huh~~~ It's time to eat. Is it really that effective???"

The newly formed best friends huddled together, laughing heartily, each licking a small dish of golden maltose candy, showing no intention of sharing.

Three gentlemen: ...
-
Xiang Boming was alright; he had a glass of yogurt juice, a very pretty yogurt juice.

It looks amazing, with three distinct color layers.

The top layer is a light green kiwi shaved ice, the middle layer is a thick layer of milky white yogurt, and the bottom layer is fresh kiwi pulp.

Using fresh kiwifruit, that's really generous.

Taking a small sip, you get a green tea base with lemon juice, honey, and the familiar maltose.

He had eaten a lot of cat-head candies and could tell the difference.

I've at least experienced the benefits of rounding up.

Not bad, not bad.

And as the waiter just mentioned, yogurt is good for the stomach.

The other two were also muttering to themselves.

"This restaurant is really strange. They even specifically reminded customers to eat within their limits and not to overeat. Does the restaurant owner have to be afraid of big-bellied men?" the male driver complained.

Although the man on the flight didn't get to taste it, he did smell it at the end, so he was quite confident. "Let's try it once the pot boils. There's not much of each kind, so let's try them all first and then order one of each if we like it."

As they were talking, the spicy hot pot started bubbling and bubbling.

Xiang Boming, with his sharp eyes, reminded him, "The pot is boiling."

Liang Yue has sharp ears. After hearing this, she ignored everything, picked up her chopsticks, and put down three cabbage leaves.

She had long wanted to see why vegetables were more expensive than meat; it didn't make sense!
"Oh dear, Yueyue, you can't put the vegetables in first! The leafy greens absorb oil, so you have to put them in last," Mengjie reminded her, picking up a slice of beef with her chopsticks and putting it into the spicy broth.

Er Ya: "Didn't we say we'd start with sour soup to whet our appetites?"

"No need for an appetizer," Liang Yuemeng and her sister said in unison.

Cabbage leaves can be cooked in no time by simply swirling them in the pot.

Liang Yue was quick-witted; she picked up a piece, blew on it, and bit into it.

The first sensation upon tasting it is spiciness, an extraordinary spiciness, the kind that stings the tongue.

But it tastes good.

It's so delicious that I don't want to spit it out; I just want to chew it a few more times and savor it.

Liang Yue followed her heart and savored the experience.

The waiter wasn't lying when we ordered; the dishes were indeed the best. This cabbage is so good!

After being cooked in the spicy hot pot, it was still tender, with no tough tendons in the middle, and tasted very soft.

The edges of the cabbage leaves were cooked until soft and soaked in the broth, tantalizing the taste buds.

The middle part is only cooked until slightly soft, but it's still a bit crunchy when you bite into it, with a crisp texture and a refreshing numbing and spicy flavor.

The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

As you chew, a hint of sweetness emerges from the spiciness—the natural sweetness of the cabbage itself, which is not masked by the heavy chili oil but stubbornly grows out, soothing your taste buds.

A sweet aftertaste!

This is the aftertaste!
Spicy dishes really do have a sweet aftertaste!
Liang Yue was shocked. She chewed the cabbage in her mouth more than a dozen times until it was completely soft and mushy before reluctantly swallowing it.

And right now, there are a full 107 more to enjoy.

How blissful...
