Chapter 162 The Alluring Hot Pot

These were all sorted out by Su Nuannuan from her spatial storage.

The stove for cooking hot pot was an old iron stove that Su Nuannuan found at a scrap yard. She put a few pieces of coal and an iron pot inside to cook hot pot.

Su Nuannuan washed the vegetables in advance, and the meat slices were also cut in advance.

Besides these, Su Nuannuan also prepared a lot of mushrooms. These mushrooms were a gift from Sun Tieniu to Su Nuannuan. Ever since Sun Hongbao's illness was cured, Sun Tieniu would prepare extra vegetables for Su Nuannuan when he sold mountain produce at the market.

Every time Su Nuannuan passed by, Sun Tieniu would give them to her.

When the weather turns cold, there's not much food left in the mountains. Sun Tieniu would then send Su Nuannuan some mushrooms grown in the mountains.

Su Nuannuan didn't like cooking, so she stored these things in her spatial dimension. There are still quite a few left.

In addition to these, Su Nuannuan also asked Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian, who were far away on the island, to send her a lot of dried seafood.

Although there is plenty of seafood on the island, it is too fishy, ​​and the islanders are reluctant to use heavy oil and spices to remove the fishy smell, so they don't like these seafoods.

Therefore, aside from those who have nothing to eat, who might collect seafood on the beach to take home and eat, no one on the island wants to eat these things.

Knowing that Su Nuannuan wanted to eat seafood, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian sent her two large bags. The bags were full of dried seafood, including dried squid, various gutted fish, dried shrimp, and more…

Even with shellfish, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian would specially crack open the outer shell, take out the meat inside, and dry it.

The island sun was very strong, and the seafood dried quickly.

When Su Nuannuan received these items, they were still fresh. This surprised and delighted her.

That day, Su Nuannuan made a spicy seafood stew, and she ate it until her mouth was greasy.

Today, when we're having hot pot together, how can we forget seafood?

Su Nuannuan took out the seafood that had been soaked early in the morning and put it on a plate.

Zhou Menglu, Hong Xiu, Sun Xiuhua, and Su Nuannuan brought out the plates full of food. Chu Mingzhou and Pang Pangpang moved the table outside, and then, under Su Nuannuan's arrangement, they lit the coal.

Su Nuannuan took the pot of cooked sugar soup out and placed it on the coal stove.

Once everything was ready, the group took their seats.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods before her, Zhou Menglu had some doubts.

"Nuan Nuan, is the hot pot really delicious?"

Zhou Menglu had never heard of hot pot before, and she wouldn't have been interested if Su Nuannuan hadn't constantly mentioned wanting to eat it.

At that time, the practice of eating hot pot had not yet become widespread.

Apart from Zhou Menglu, the others were also unaware and looked at Su Nuannuan with puzzled expressions.

Su Nuannuan patted her small chest and addressed the crowd.

"Don't worry. You'll definitely remember it fondly after you finish eating it."

Seeing Su Nuannuan's confident gaze, everyone began to look forward to it. Especially Pang Pangpang, who had already drooled several times after hearing Su Nuannuan's description of hot pot.

Before preparing the hot pot broth, Su Nuannuan asked the group if they could handle spicy food.

They all said it was okay. So, Su Nuannuan prepared the most authentic spicy beef tallow hot pot.

Since Su Nuannuan had prepared the soup base in advance, the aroma wafted out after the pot boiled, and the domineering spicy fragrance instantly filled the entire room, making everyone feel a bit hot.

When Su Nuannuan saw the pot start to bubble, she addressed the crowd.

"You can add the vegetables now. Just put in whatever you like. Oh, and put the meat and seafood in to cook first."

After listening to Su Nuannuan's words, everyone put the sliced ​​meat and seafood in.

Pangpang was the first to act; he picked up the chopped squid and poured it in.

After putting it in, he smelled his hand and said with disgust.

"Nuan Nuan, what is this? Why does it smell so fishy?"

Su Nuannuan glanced at the squid sizzling in the pot and said to Pang Pangpang, "Squid is a type of seafood. It's very fishy, ​​but it's also very delicious."

Actually, apart from Su Nuannuan, none of the others had ever seen seafood before. Even Pang Pangpang and Zhou Menglu were the same.

Hong Xiu also picked up a plate of peeled tiger prawns and asked.

"Nuan Nuan, is this a river shrimp?"

Su Nuannuan looked at the long shrimp meat and said to Hong Xiu.

"No, this is tiger prawn, which is also a type of seafood."

After finishing her explanation, Su Nuannuan began to introduce the seafood to everyone.

None of them had ever been to the seaside, so they all listened with great interest.

After saying that, Su Nuannuan took a sip of the grape juice she had squeezed herself.

While cooking hot pot, Su Nuannuan taught everyone how to prepare the dipping sauce.

Su Nuannuan put peanut butter, chili sauce, and sesame seeds in her small bowl. Chu Mingzhou made his own tomato dipping sauce, Hong Xiu simply added soy sauce, and Zhou Menglu, Pang Pangpang, and Sun Xiuhua made the same dipping sauce as Su Nuannuan.

When the food was almost cooked, everyone saw the various foods bubbling in the pot and swallowed hard. Even Chu Mingzhou, who was usually aloof and composed, swallowed.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan secretly smiled and began to announce.

"It's time to start."

After Su Nuannuan scooped up a piece of squid, everyone started eating.

Pang Pang picked up a piece of squid, dipped it in his sauce, and carefully tasted it. He still remembered the taste. Even though Su Nuannuan had said that squid was delicious when cooked, Pang Pang Pang hadn't let his guard down.

The reason he ate the squid flower first was because Su Nuannuan had piqued his curiosity, and he wanted to try the taste of this strange thing.

However, when the whole piece of squid flower entered his mouth, the smooth and chewy texture immediately caught Pang Pangpang's eye.

"You guys have to try the squid flowers, they're really delicious!"

However, no one responded to him at this moment.

However, the kind-hearted Hong Xiu took a moment to speak to him.

"Fatty, stop talking and eat quickly. Otherwise, Marilyn will eat all the food."

Upon hearing Hong Xiu's words, Pang Pangpang looked up and saw Zhou Menglu engrossed in eating. Moreover, Sun Xiuhua was also putting food on Zhou Menglu's plate while she ate.

The food in the pot was decreasing rapidly.

Seeing this, Pangpang forgot all about his sighs and joined the scramble for food.

Actually, Chu Mingzhou ate the most. However, his movements were very refined, and even though he picked up food quickly, it was impossible for anyone to tell.

After finishing the first pot of food, Zhou Menglu and Pang Pangpang started cooking vegetables without Su Nuannuan having to tell them.

After putting all the remaining dishes in, the group chatted while drinking the warm juice that Nuannuan had prepared.

Zhou Menglu spoke first.

"Warm and cozy, this hot pot is so delicious."

Pang Pang nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Yes, squid flowers are the best."

At this moment, Hong Xiu spoke up.

"Nuan Nuan, where did you buy your seafood?"

Upon hearing Hong Xiu's words, Chu Mingzhou, Zhou Menglu, and Pang Pangpang all looked intently at Su Nuannuan.
