Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 73 Ambiguity
An ambiguous atmosphere permeates every corner of the house.

Kang Min Kyung invites Ki Yo Gu to take a seat.

Facing each other, a large black stone pot was placed in the middle of the dining table.

If there weren't beef, abalone and shrimp on the side plates, one would really mistake it for a military hotpot if one only looked at the ramen, baby cabbage and luncheon meat.

Don’t be fooled by the difference of two words, they definitely have two different flavors.

"tatter"

Lighting up the portable gas stove, Kang Min Kyung asked Ki Yo Gu, "PDnim, are you going to drink beer or soju?"

Ki Yo-gu hadn't originally planned to drink, but he had already stood up and walked towards the kitchen when Kang Min-kyung asked him.

He held a bottle of chilled soju in his left hand, a bottle of Sprite in his right hand, and a few cans of beer in his arms.

He put it all on the table and said to himself, "I see many people like hot pot with beer."

Looking at Ki Yo-gu, Kang Min-kyung explained, "I've eaten hot pot a few times with my parents in Yeonnam-dong before. Can PDnim handle spicy food? This Chinese hot pot has a richer and spicier broth than the military hot pot."

Jiang Minjing said it seriously, and then pointed to the dipping sauce in a small plastic box.

Qi Yaojiu did not interrupt Jiang Minjing. At least he did not spoil the fun. He added minced garlic, green onions, oyster sauce, MSG, chicken essence and pepper powder to the empty bowl according to Jiang Minjing's dipping sauce combination method.

Judging from the dipping sauce alone, the hot pot takeaway that Kang Min Kyung ordered is most likely authentic Chinese hot pot.

No sesame oil was added, Qi Yaojiu added a little bit of the original soup.

Kang Min Kyung was a little worried that adding the original soup would make it too spicy, but Ki Yo Gu said that he usually likes spicy food so it was okay.

At first, Jiang Minjing thought that Ji Yaojiu was a little reluctant. After eating for a while and seeing that Ji Yaojiu enjoyed every bite, Jiang Minjing completely believed that Ji Yaojiu could eat spicy food.

She tried the original soup base with chopsticks. When ordering takeout, the hot pot restaurant owner provided three levels of spiciness for Kang Min Kyung to choose from. She chose medium spicy, but Kang Min Kyung herself could not stand the medium spicy taste.

"Grumpy"

Jiang Minjing helped pour the wine in Qi Yao's nine cups.

She poured herself a glass of Sprite, raised her glass and proposed: "Cheers to PDnim. Congratulations to PDnim again for winning the award."

Qi Yaojiu looked at the half cup of soju.

The alcohol content of H country's soju is not high, but Qi Yaojiu still feels that the taste is a bit strange if you drink it alone.

“Crack~”

He opened a can of beer and filled his glass with it. Then he raised his glass and toasted Jiang Minjing: "Thank you."

Jiang Minjing was stunned.

The last time I had dinner with Ji Yaojiu, I didn't drink any alcohol. To be precise, Ji Yaojiu didn't drink any alcohol, so Jiang Minjing didn't know how much Ji Yaojiu could drink.

I just roughly guessed that Qi Yaojiu should be able to drink quite well. After all, he just graduated from the university campus. College students often have various parties. The largest group seen on the streets in the early morning are almost all college students and young office workers.

But I didn't expect that Qi Yaojiu could drink so much that he was not satisfied with just drinking soju, and would drink cannonball liquor directly.

"Gulu, Guru"

He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"clap clap"

Suddenly there was applause.

Qi Yaojiu put down his wine glass and frowned as he looked at Jiang Minjing who was staring at him with admiration.

“PDnim is awesome!”

Men, no one doesn't like to hear praise of how great he is from the opposite sex. Qi Yaojiu is no exception. Does just drinking a glass of wine mean he is great?

Kang Min Kyung asked, "Does PDnim always drink like this?"

Qi Yaojiu nodded and said, "When it comes to drinking at dinner parties, I prefer to mix soju and beer."

Kang Min Kyung: "PDnim often get together, right?"

Qi Yaojiu: "We rarely get together."

Jiang Minjing: "That shouldn't be the case. Didn't we often attend various parties during college?"

Ki Yo-gu picked up the beef from the pot with his chopsticks, dipped it in water, and put it into his mouth to chew slowly. Kang Min-kyung also picked up the chopsticks and took the abalone from the pot and placed it on a clean plate. When it felt cooked, she reminded Ki Yo-gu, "PDnim, the abalone is cooked."

After eating a few bites of food, Jiang Minjing picked up the bottle of soju again.

Seeing this, Qi Yaojiu stretched out his hand and said, "I'll pour it myself."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Minjing asked: "Does PDnim usually pour his own wine?"

Qi Yaojiu looked straight at Jiang Minjing, not knowing what she was going to say.

Jiang Minjing said slowly: "PDnim, don't you know? If two people drink together, you must not pour the wine by yourself, otherwise you will be unlucky for three years."

Qi Yaojiu had heard similar words from Li Zhien.

Don't bite off udon noodles when eating them. Doing so will bring you three years of bad luck.

There are not so many unlucky people. If pouring wine for yourself would bring bad luck, then there would be countless unlucky people in this world every day.

Kang Min Kyung insisted on pouring wine for Ki Yo Gu, and continued chatting while pouring wine: "What do PDnim like to do during their free time?"

Qi Yaojiu replied casually: "Sleep."

Jiang Minjing looked surprised and asked, "Sleeping? PDnim doesn't go out on dates?"

Qi Yaojiu shrugged: "I don't go out much."

Kang Min Kyung: "Won't your girlfriend say anything?"

Qi Yaojiu: "I don't have a girlfriend."

Kang Min Kyung: "Hey, PDnim is so outstanding, how could he not have a girlfriend? When he was a student, there must have been many people sending love letters to PDnim."

Qi Yaojiu: “No.”

Kang Min Kyung: "PDnim really doesn't have a girlfriend?"

Qi Yaojiu: “Yeah.”

Jiang Minjing: "No way, PDnim has never been in a relationship?"

Qi Yaojiu had no memory of being in love. He didn't know the specific reason, and there was no need to eat beef, so he said, "I've never been in love."

The voice just fell.

It was as if Jiang Minjing had been waiting for Qi Yaojiu's answer. Without a pause, she directly replied, "I haven't talked about it either."

The somewhat relaxed atmosphere became ambiguous again.

Jiang Minjing lowered her head slightly and fiddled with her chopsticks innocently.

Qi Yaojiu coughed twice, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip of wine.

The more silent, the more ambiguous the atmosphere.

It was like when they were students, during physical education class, the empty classroom was empty with only Ki Yoo-gu and Kang Min-kyung left.

Suddenly, the two looked into each other's eyes, without saying anything, but their hearts were beating fast, their lips were dry, and their cheeks were hot.

“The shrimp are cooked.”

"What type of girl does PDnim like?"

Both of them wanted to find new topics to talk about.

Almost in unison.

While Ki Yoo-gu was talking about the ingredients in the pot, Kang Min-kyung continued to ask Ki Yoo-gu about his ideal type.

"I……"

“Are the shrimp cooked?”

They spoke at the same time again, but in reverse.

Qi Yaojiu said, "It must be cooked after cooking for so long."

Jiang Minjing picked up a shrimp and put it on her plate. She seemed to be carefully peeling the shrimp, but her eyes were secretly glancing at Qi Yaojiu sitting across from her. At the same time, she muttered to herself, "Go on, what type of girl do you like?"
