Chapter 217 Preparing to Eat Hot Pot
The little ones gained a lot today. They kept excitedly discussing their fighting experiences along the way. Ruan Tang leaned in Qi Xuan's arms and fell asleep.
After flying for a while, Ruan Tang looked up at the forest below. After flying for so long, it should be safe. She patted Long Ming on the back and said, "A Ming, land ahead."
Ruan Tang felt that it was better to keep her feet on the ground. She didn't like the feeling of flying in the sky at all.
"it is good."
"Is Ruan Ruan feeling unwell?" Qi Xuan held her long hair with some concern.
Ruan Tang rubbed his palm and said like a cat, "A little bit, but I'm mainly hungry and want to eat."
"Is there any food in your magical space? Eat something first, and I will make you something delicious later." She has been getting hungry very quickly since she became pregnant. Qi Xuan has been working hard to learn how to cook these days, hoping that she can eat more.
She shook her head, a little listlessly, "I don't want to eat any of those things. I want to eat something spicy today."
The thought of it made me hungry, and my eyes lit up a little. "It should be spicy and numb, and preferably with a hint of sourness."
"How about we have hotpot?" Lin Yeqing understood her point in a second, and she also wanted to eat it.
Ruan Tang snapped her fingers, and a smile appeared on her pretty face. "Ye Zi really understands me. Come on, A Ming has landed. Let's find a place with a nice view and stop to set up a stall to make hot pot."
Except for the two of them, everyone else present was confused and had no idea what hot pot was.
The two smiled at each other without any explanation. When they arrived at the place, they taught them how to do it themselves.
Long Ming found a place with not too many trees to land. Chi Yuan was the first to jump down and gently picked up Ruan Tang and put her on the grass.
The little cubs finally landed on the ground and immediately ran to the grass to run wild.
"Ruan Ruan, how do you make the hot pot you mentioned?" Mo Ran and Qi Xuan are the two males who are best at cooking, but they don't know how to make the hot pot that Ruan Tang just mentioned.
Ruan Tang took out the pots and pans from the space and said to them, "I'll teach you how to make it. Don't worry, just put the pot up first."
"Tangtang, you sit down and take a rest, we'll do it." Building a stove is what Mo Bai and Lingze are best at, and they do it the most on weekdays. He took the tools from her and got busy with the work quickly.
"Well, you guys build the stove first." She wanted to tell Mo Ran and Qi Xuan how to make the hot pot base.
She explained the necessary seasonings and steps. Mo Ran, a talented player, already had a rough idea of what to do and said to her, "Okay, I got it. Ruan Ruan, take out the wooden house and let Chi Yuan build it. You can also take a good rest."
She is pregnant now and they don't want her to be too tired.
"Well, I know."
She found a flat place and took out the wooden house and handed it to Chi Yuan and Long Ming, then ran to find Lin Yeqing.
To eat hot pot, the ingredients must be varied. Lin Yeqing had just taken out the long table and asked her friends to set it up. When she saw Ruan Tang coming over, she asked Ruan Tang, "What do you want to eat?"
"Let me see what's in the space."
Usually, for convenience, the males would take out the prey and process it when they were free. Now she only needed to slowly select some ingredients she liked from the processed prey.
As she took out the ingredients, she said, "Pork belly is essential for hot pot. Also, pork throat and tripe. These are things that kids don't usually like to eat, so they're perfect for hot pot today."
Lin Yeqing only had meat in her space. She glanced at the various meats on the table and said to Ruan Tang, "Get some vegetables, like potatoes, cabbage, yams, etc."
"Don't be impatient. Hot pot requires meat. Once I have selected all the meat, I will bring you some vegetable leaves." She just wanted to eat meat today, the kind that was both numb and spicy.
"Wow, Mom, are we going to have such a sumptuous meal today?"
When the kids came back from having fun, Jingchu was the first one to run over and ask what kind of meat they would eat in the evening.
"Well, the kids have to help too." She pointed to the vegetables in the wooden basin on the table and assigned tasks to the children with a smile: "See? Peel and slice the potatoes and yams, and wash the cabbage and spinach and set aside."
"Okay!"
The little guys transformed into human form in a second, climbed onto the long table with their short legs and started working.
"Carry it up to the floor and cook it." Ruan Tang was really amused and helpless when she saw the children sitting at the table one by one to prepare the vegetables.
"Oh, okay."
The little kids worked in pairs to carry the wooden basins filled with vegetables to the ground.
"This bone knife is not easy to use at all." Mo Xiaowu picked up a potato to peel it, but the bone knife was not powerful enough and he couldn't peel the skin off after several attempts.
"Fifth sister, you use this." Chi Ershijiu generously handed the scale in his hand to Mo Xiaowu. This was the scale of the python orc that he had just picked up on the battlefield.
"Hey, it's so dirty. I'd better use my bone knife." Mo Xiaowu returned the scales to Xiao Erjiu with disgust.
Chi Ershijiu didn't expect that even though he was so generous for once, his fifth sister still didn't appreciate it. He snorted and said, "I've cleaned it, okay? You don't have to count it. I can use it myself. It's very sharp and much better than your bone knife."
"You guys peel the potatoes, I'll go wash the cabbage."
"Fifth sister, I'll go wash the vegetable leaves with you."
"Yes, let the male cubs do the peeling."
Watching the children mumbling and dividing the work among themselves, Lin Yeqing and Ruan Tang pursed their lips, "Don't you feel like you're enslaving the children? They're still so young."
The little cubs in animal form didn't look like anything special, but now they were in human form. She felt particularly involved when she saw the two or three-year-old babies peeling potatoes and breaking cabbage leaves to wash them.
She remembered that before the end of her previous life, babies who were two or three years old were surrounded by a group of people taking care of them, fearing that they would get hurt. They had to be chased after and fed when they ate, so they had no time to help adults with things.
Ruan Tang joked, "Children from poor families have to grow up early. Children should be raised in poverty so that they won't have to suffer the hardships of society when they grow up."
Lin Yeqing glared at her unhappily, "There's no one richer than you in the entire Beast World!"
Tell her this, everyone knows that she has stored at least enough food in her space to feed her family for several years. Just ask, in this wild continent where people go hungry as soon as the cold season comes, who could be richer than her?
"low profile!"
While chatting, the two finally chose the ingredients they wanted to eat.
"I'm going to check on Mo Ran and Qi Xuan."
The task she assigned to them was to stir-fry the hot pot base. Although she had just explained the steps and what needed to be added to them, she was still a little worried, after all, this was her first time doing it.
"You go ahead, I'll go change my clothes." She had accidentally gotten her clothes stained with the blood of a wild beast, so she had to change them. Otherwise, she would feel sick and want to vomit when she smelled the smell.
