Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 136: Gourmet Food of Sha County

Chen Xiao Mi took Chen Xiao Mai, Yuan Bao, Highness Cheng and his two guards to the restaurant Chen Xiao Cai newly opened to try hotpot.

Highness Cheng's eyes sparkled as he saw the gate of restaurant, "Such nice decoration!"

Highness Cheng who had travelled all the way from the capital city to Sha County had seen poverty unfolding along the way, he didn't have much expectations about Chen Xiao Cai's restaurant in the beginning but the decoration had made him interested.

Chen Xiao Mi smiled. The decoration of the restaurant was mainly based on Lu Lin's opinion. Chen Xiao Cai had added a touch of the fancy restaurants in the capital city to the final decoration as well.

Compared to the big restaurants in the neighboring counties, this hotpot restaurant stood out the most.

The employees in the restaurant had no idea who this chubby middle-aged man was, so they only handed menus to Chen Xiao Mi, and of course the menu was snatched by Chen Xiao Mai.

Yuan Bao leaned in and said, "Little Uncle, I want to eat meat and meat."

Chen Xiao Mi reached out his hand to grab the menu for Highness Cheng, but Highness Cheng smiled and said, "It's all right. Let the kids order. They look like experts in this field."

Chen Xiao Mai ordered a lot of meat, and Chen Xiao Mi handed the menu to Highness Cheng, who ordered a few vegetable dishes.

Soon, the trained waiters lit up the fire and put the double-flavor pot on the fire.

Highness Cheng clapped his hands on seeing the special pot, "Oh wow, this is the first time I've seen a pot with a curved wall in the middle, how interesting!"

Chen Xiao Mi smiled and said, "Yes, master, we can have spicy soup base on one side and non-spicy soup base on the other side. This is my husband's idea, because the kids in the family can't handle spicy food yet."

Soon all kinds of dishes were served one after another.

Highness Cheng asked with great interest, "How do you eat this?"

Chen Xiao Mai cast a sidelong glance at Highness Cheng, which made Chen Xiao Mi shudder with fear.

"Hotpot is so easy to eat. You just pour whatever you want to eat in the soup and you wait patiently until they float, then you dip them in the sesame sauce in front of you, then you go onomnommom," Chen Xiao Mai said.

Highness Cheng nodded his head with excitement.

Chen Xiao Mi put sliced Chinese Yam and potatoes into the soup.

The taste of the hot pot was beyond imagination. Highness Cheng fell in love with the taste immediately.

He pointed at the sliced Chinese Yam and asked, "What is this?"

"This is muddy stick," Chen Xiao Mai explained.

There were a lot of Chinese Yam grown on the mountains in Sha County, most of them would go wasted before Lu Lin came. And now the villagers started to harvest them and sell them to make money since Lu Lin educated them about how to eat Chinese Yam.

"Muddy stick?" Highness Cheng looked rather shocked.

"Don't listen to him, master, this is Chinese Yam," chimed in Chen Xiao Mi.

The cooked yam was very soft and tender, and it would just melt in your mouth.

Chen Xiao Mi smiled on seeing the Chinese Yam, he recalled the first time Lu Lin served him and his brothers this 'muddy stick', they were all very skeptical and they had fallen in love with the taste.
