Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 282 Hot Pot
"Hiss, I didn't expect that this plant that tortured prisoners could be used as a seasoning, and it tasted so good." Baron wiped the tears from his eyes as he spoke.

"Since you can't stand the taste, drink the soup from the mushroom soup pot next to you." Hamer sat on the chair and laughed when he saw Baron sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

"No, Rhodes hasn't come yet, Baron, why are you eating alone?" Quentin came out with a few large plates of ingredients ready for hot pot.

"There is a condiment added to torture the prisoners, so I will help you to test whether it is poisonous first, so as not to cause trouble to you." Baron replied cheekily.

"Then aren't you afraid of accidents?" Quentin smiled.

"I'm basically immune to toxins. At most, I only have diarrhea. If you come across foods that look delicious but are afraid of being poisonous, you can give them to me to test the poison." Baron took another sip from the spoon. soup.

Rhodes was speechless when he came out and saw this scene. It was the first time he saw someone drinking the soup in the hot pot with a spoon before the ingredients for the hot pot were taken out, and what he drank was spicy soup.

"Don't put this spoon in it again, it's full of your saliva," Rhodes said loudly.

"You don't need to remind me, I know for sure." Baron looked at Rhodes and nodded.

The house was too warm, and there was no atmosphere for eating hot pot, so Rhodes asked someone to raise a stove in the yard, and everyone ate hot pot in the yard.

Rhodes originally planned to let Heyman and Slade eat together to enhance their relationship, but they all politely refused.

In the end, only Baron, Hamer, and Quentin, three people whom Rhodes knew very well, came over.

If Gilbert was in a small town, he probably would have the cheek to come over without Rhode's invitation, just like Baron and Hamer.

Rhodes looked at the mandarin duck pot with a tempting fragrance in front of him, and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Let's start eating, there are only four of us today, and none of them will come." Rhodes said.

The table for eating hot pot in front of him was specially remodeled by him. A hole was dug in the middle of an ordinary table so that the pot could be stuck in the hole. Under the table was a wood-burning stove.

In addition to heating the hot pot, the stove can also play the role of warming feet and legs.

"How do you eat this?" Baron looked at Rhodes and asked suspiciously, "Is it eating the meat next to it raw while drinking the soup?"

"This meat is sliced ​​so thin that it should be eaten raw, right? But it should be dipped in some sauce from the bowl next to it, just like eating raw fish fillets in the coastal province. You should know Quentin, right?" Mo said.

"I haven't been there before. I used to hang out on the border between the Kingdom of Fish and the Kingdom of Nord. Even if I went to sea, I went to the blue sea west of the Kingdom of Fish. But as a Nord, I used to be a captain. I didn't It is indeed a bit wrong to have been to the ice sea." Quentin replied with some embarrassment.

Rhodes smiled and watched their performance, and he didn't know what was going on in their brain circuit. There was a soup pot next to him, and he didn't think of eating it hot, but eating it raw and then drinking the soup.

Maybe they are used to eating half-baked food.

"These meats are sliced ​​so thin for the convenience of cooking. You only need to put the meat on the chopsticks and put it in the pot for a few seconds, and the meat will be cooked and ready to eat." Rhode saw them talking for a while Finally, I couldn't help but said, "Only these potatoes and vermicelli need to be cooked for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baron turned his head to look at Hamer, staring at him without saying anything, which made Hamer, who was pretending to be calm, couldn't help but blush.

"Let's eat." Rhode took the lead in picking up a piece of beef.

It was cut by him himself, and it can be described as thin as onion wings. The way of swordsmanship and the way of knife are similar in some respects, even though Rhodes cut the meat with a kitchen knife.

After the beef was scalded, it quickly curled up, and the black beef shone with red oil.

"Delicious! It's not as spicy as drinking soup directly." Baron said with satisfaction.

Of the four people present, only Baron and Rhodes ate the spicy pot. Hamer and Quentin tried it once and chose the non-spicy mushroom soup pot.

Butter is used in the spicy pot. In addition to adding the very spicy leaves, spices such as prickly ash and star anise that Quentin's crew brought back from the Kingdom of Fish were added. The smell made Rhodes salivate. .

Countless mushrooms that are not found on earth are added to the mushroom soup pot, which are delicious, and there are several kinds of mushrooms that taste better than truffles.

Rhodes felt that there are so many good ingredients in this world, but they don't know how to cook them, which is really a waste.

If what he got after crossing was not the martial arts system, but the gourmet system, everything he experienced would definitely be very different.

"My lord, the steamed buns are ready according to the method you said." Lorraine walked over with a plate of fried golden buns.

Next to the steamed buns was a plate of crystal clear wild honey.

"What is this?" Baron asked when he saw the steamed buns on the plate.

"Small steamed buns that have been deep-fried, honey is added to the steamed buns, if you eat..."

"I know, eat it with the soup in the pot." Before Rhodes finished speaking, Baron picked up a steamed bun and dipped it into the spicy pot.

Rhodes supported his head speechlessly, "I want to say, you can dip the honey in the plate, so that it can relieve the spiciness."

"It's okay, I think it's delicious to eat like this, ahem." Baron coughed from the heat.

This time it was Hammer's turn to fight back, and he laughed out loud on purpose, making Baron's face, which was flushed from coughing, even redder.

Lorraine quickly picked up the jug on the table and poured Baron a glass.

"This is strong wine." Before Rhodes finished speaking, Baron had already picked up the cup and drank it down.

The wine was very strong, but Baron resisted the feeling of burning his throat and did not spit it out.

"Good wine." Baron put down his glass and commented, his already flushed face became even redder after drinking the strong wine.

These wines were distilled by Rhodes specially looking for reliable people, and this time I wanted to give them a taste, just to see if they were popular.

Seeing Baron gooing, he drank a glass and wanted to drink another glass. Rhodes felt that the spirits would definitely be welcomed by countless Nords.

"Come on, finish this glass." Baron also poured a glass for others.

"I'll drink less, I still have things to do at night." Rhodes said, the mental power he consumed at noon today has not been replenished.

The black cat told him that alcohol is a kind of thing that reduces mental strength, and what reduces is the upper limit, and for the sake of dried fish and catnip, he also told Rhodes not to drink alcohol.

The others nodded without persuading them to drink.

After toasting, Rhodes noticed the bison walking towards them.

"What are you eating?" the bison asked.

"Do you want beef?" Rhodes asked with a smile.

The bison didn't show any displeasure. It raised its hoof and pointed at the cup in Rhode's hand.

"Do you want to try it?" Rhodes asked, he thought it would be a good idea to drink alcohol to the bison, which would weaken its strength like poison.

"It smells good, try it." Bison nodded.

Rhodes took out the flagon placed in the space ring and threw it over. This was the spirit he was going to use as fuel. It had not been blended, and it was estimated to be [-] or [-] degrees.

The Buffalo stood up, holding the flagon and drank "ton, ton, ton, ton, ton". Not long after drinking, he fell to the ground and died of drunkenness.

"My lord, what is it? How can it still talk?" Lorraine asked.

"A mature cow, let's sit down and eat together." Rhodes invited.

"Me? Forget it, my lord, I'm just a maid." Lorraine refused.

She was afraid that Rhodes would be unhappy, so she said, "There are still some vegetables that have not been brought out, so I will go in first."
