Chapter 55: Nine-grid hotpot, an irresistible food temptation!
"I'm leaving this opportunity to you, right? Besides, the hotpot in other places is not as good as the one in Jincheng!"

Zhang Mei curled her lips: "Then why didn't you bring Anna back earlier?"

"I have to take her somewhere else to play, right?"

Anna smiled and said, "Auntie, Chen Lu took me to see the Terracotta Warriors, the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square, and also took me to eat臊子面, roasted kidneys, and roast duck!"

Facing Anna, Zhang Mei smiled happily.

"Really? Are you used to Chinese food?"

"I'm used to it! Chinese food is much more delicious than ours!"

"Then try Jincheng's hotpot later. You won't be disappointed! By the way, can you handle spicy food?"

"I'll be fine."

[This Chinese boy’s mother looks very enthusiastic! ]

[And she really likes Her Royal Highness, and held her hand all the way! ]

[This is without knowing the identity of the princess. So when is the princess going to reveal her true colors? ]

[Are you going to eat hotpot? I heard that Chinese hotpot is quite famous! ]

[Yes, yes, I once went to Huaxia and had it. The taste is unforgettable! ]

As soon as you walk into the hot pot restaurant, you can smell the rich aroma of hot pot.

Almost every table was occupied, and the originally spacious shop seemed particularly crowded.

The hot pot is steaming, and several people are gathered around it to enjoy the meal, creating a lively atmosphere!
When it comes to the atmosphere in a restaurant, no one can compare to a hotpot restaurant.

The moment the steam rises, it has become a deity.

Fortunately, Zhang Mei reserved a table in advance, otherwise she would not be able to eat.

The soup base she ordered was the nine-grid butter soup base, and the dishes were served quickly, filling up the table.

There was also a small cart next to it with seven or eight dishes on it.

In Jincheng, the nine-grid soup base is a very classic soup base.

If you order clear soup base, you will be looked down upon!

The clear soup pot cannot fully reflect the essence of Jincheng hotpot!

The shabu-shabu hotpot is the biggest concession made by the people of Jincheng, and it is a compromise with friends from other places.

The spiciness of Jincheng is quite spicy, not particularly spicy.

Only after arriving in the mountain city can you experience what spicy food is.

"Mom, there are only four of us. Can you eat so much?"

"Why can't she eat it? It's Anna's first time here, so of course we have to let her try all kinds of dishes!"

Tripe, yellow throat, shrimp paste, duck intestines, crispy pork, spicy beef, brain flower, fresh duck blood...

Basically all the must-try dishes of Jincheng Hotpot are here.

"Anna, this is your first time here. I'll teach you how to eat Jincheng Hotpot."

"Thank you auntie."

Zhang Mei first helped her prepare a dipping sauce.

Mashed garlic, sesame oil, chopped green onion, oyster sauce, chili pepper, and vinegar are combined into a very classic sesame oil dish.

Pick up the duck intestines and blanch them in the pot for 15 seconds, then put them on Anna's plate.

"Try it and see if it tastes good. Be careful it's hot."

"Thank you, aunt!"

The surface of the duck intestines is completely covered with red oil and slightly curved, showing an attractive color and aroma.

Anna couldn't help swallowing.

When you put the duck intestines into your mouth, you can feel the fresh and tender taste.

There is a unique elasticity when chewing, as if jumping on the tip of the tongue.

The spicy and fresh taste instantly activates your taste buds!
"Delicious! Crunchy and spicy!"

"As long as it tastes good, I'll help you cook the rest."

In the following time, Anna tried various other ingredients one by one.

She likes everything! She feels that what is really delicious is not the ingredients, but the hot pot base.

No matter what you put in it, it should taste good after being rinsed and dipped in oil.

"Auntie, why do you change the grid every time you cook a dish?" Anna asked curiously.

"Because the fire power of each grid is different, boiling in different grids can make each ingredient reach the perfect state and avoid the smell of the ingredients mixing."

The audience in the live broadcast room were as surprised as Anna was at that moment.

[It turns out that the Nine-Grid has this kind of use? It's really amazing! ]

[Oh my god, I am drooling! ]

[Wardfa, are there so many rules for eating in China? ]

[It looks very similar to our army hotpot, both of which use a large pot to cook a lot of things. Could Huaxia Hotpot have plagiarized our idea? ]

[Little Paocai really can't tell the difference between the big and small kings! China has been eating hot pot since the Han Dynasty, and your peninsula didn't even exist at that time! ]

[And your army hotpot is made from the saliva of the Eagle Sauce, right? This is not the case with Chinese hotpot. ]

"Anna, try this again."

"This, what is this!"

Anna's eyes widened as she looked at the brain-shaped object in the bowl.

Chen Lu smiled and said, "This is brain flower. It's delicious."

"Brain... whose brain is it?!"

"To be precise, this is a pig's brain."

"Can we eat pig brains?" Anna looked hesitant. "But won't we become very stupid after eating it?"

"Of course not! In China, there is a saying that you are what you eat, and eating pig brains can actually nourish your brain!"

is that so...

Looking at the pig brain in the bowl, Anna hesitated for a long time.

He carefully picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, but the next second his face turned into a mask of pain!

"Isn't it delicious?"

"Hmm, it doesn't have much flavor, but the texture is weird! It's still better than soy milk."

[It seems that Douzhi has left a shadow on Her Royal Highness! ]

[Oh my god! They actually eat pig brains. The Chinese people will do anything to satisfy their appetites! ]

[You guys even eat monkey brains, and you still have the nerve to criticize us? ]

[Judging from the princess's expression, this brain doesn't look very tasty! ]

Jincheng Hotpot is not spicy at first because it is not spicy enough.

But the more you eat, the spicier it gets.

Anna was already breathing heavily from the spiciness.

Zhang Mei called the waiter and ordered a bowl of ice jelly for her.

A large transparent bowl, with crushed ice at the bottom, covered with a layer of ice powder, and drizzled with brown sugar!

Pair it with hand-rolled sesame seeds, taro balls, and rice balls, all of which are soft and sticky.

On top are various ingredients, raisins, hawthorn slices, crushed peanuts, fermented glutinous rice dumplings...

It tastes cool and sweet, and is perfect for relieving spiciness.

"Anna, try this, it's very sweet."

Anna scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth: "It's delicious! Why doesn't Mao Xiong have this!"

The bowl of ice jelly was quickly eaten up.

Looking at Chen Lu aggrievedly, "Honey, can I have another bowl?"

"of course."

As expected, no girl can resist the temptation of desserts.

The whole table of food was eaten up completely without any waste.

The meal lasted nearly two hours, and to Anna’s surprise, the hotpot restaurant was always full!
