Probably because of the rain, even if it wasn't lunch, the business in the store was surprisingly good. As soon as I entered the store, I saw the steaming hot pot with an alluring aroma that made people salivate.
The two found a quiet booth.
"Today's meal is yours," Yu Gangan said to Fang Zhihan while looking at the menu, and then asked the waiter for a mandarin duck pot.
Without waiting for the waiter to place his order, Fang Zhihan said: "Just a clear soup pot."
Yu Gangan put down the menu and looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Why do you only want a clear soup pot? This is a mandarin duck pot. If you don't want to eat spicy food, why not just eat another clear soup pot?"
Fang Zhihan looked at her and asked calmly: "Aren't you a doctor? As a doctor, don't tell me that you don't know that people who have just been discharged from the hospital must have a light diet."
Such a solemn tone made Yu Gangan slightly stunned. Did he care about her
She pursed her lips lightly and said softly: "Since we are all here to eat hot pot, why do we need to pay attention to these things?"
Fang Zhihan refused coldly: "No."
Yu Gangan frowned slightly: "But if you eat hot pot but not spicy pot, what's so delicious about it?"
"Then I won't eat hot pot." Fang Zhihan's usual indifferent attitude.
"Just clear soup, that's all."
Yu Gangan also looked casual, but in her mind she didn't want to eat the spicy hot pot. She would add more chili to the seasoning later.
After ordering, Yu Gangan went to make the dipping sauce and put in a lot of chopped peppers.
As soon as she put it on the table, Fang Zhihan reached out and took it.
"Go and make another bowl without chili." Fang Zhihan didn't even allow her to add chili as a dipping sauce.
"If you don't eat this, what's the taste of the hot pot? It's better to eat boiled vegetables," Yu Gangan refused, looking irritated.
Fang Zhihan looked at her steadily: "You can't eat spicy food."
Yu Gangan looked at him eagerly, seeing that he looked unmoved, and smiled softly at him: "It's been many days since I was discharged from the hospital. I'm actually fine, and I haven't eaten much during this time. It’s very light and this is my first time eating spicy food.”
Fang Zhihan narrowed his eyes gently, but still had a firm attitude.
Yu Gangan blinked and raised a finger to him: "Just this once?"
Fang Zhihan's expression remained unchanged.
Just when Yu Gangan thought that Fang Zhihan still wouldn't agree, and when he was thinking about how to retaliate against him, Fang Zhihan said: "Okay."
Yu Gangan's eyes lit up and he quickly reached out to take the seasoning bowl.
But Fang Zhihan waved it away: "Put less pepper."
"Okay, okay!" Yu Gangan nodded immediately, just eat spicy food.
The waiter brought the dishes to the pot. Yu Gangan poured mutton, beef, yuba, fungus, mushrooms... all into the pot. He also asked Fang Zhihan opposite: "What kind of food do you want? I'll put it in for you." .”
"You've already made a full pot, why are you still asking me?" Fang Zhihan spooned a bowl of bone soup and placed it in front of Yu Gangan: "Drink the soup first, then eat the vegetables."
"I'm just being polite. Anyway, you can eat whatever I put in the dish. That's how hot pot is..."
Yu Gangan drank bone soup while waiting for the ingredients in the pot to be cooked.
As soon as the pot is boiled, I immediately start eating vegetables. The mutton cooked in the bone broth is dipped in a little bit of dipping sauce and put in my mouth. It is spicy and refreshing, with endless aftertaste and endless meaning.
