Chapter 247 Who Put the Chili Peppers
Chapter 247 Who Put the Chili Peppers
After a few minutes, the soup in the pot boiled and many dishes were served, including a plate of sliced watermelon, three plates of snacks that could be eaten directly, and various vegetables and meats that needed to be cooked in the hot pot.
Seeing this, everyone knew that it was time to eat, so at Luo Bingning's suggestion, they scooped a little soup into the dipping bowl.
Since everyone has tasted the chili sauce in the seasoning area with their own spoons, they all have a vague idea of whether they can eat spicy food.
Minian, Lan Siyuan, Xiaoyuan, Xuyuan and Xuyan scooped clear soup, while the other five scooped red oil soup.
After scooping the soup, we officially start eating the hot pot.
Xu Yuan and Xu Yan were standing on benches to pick dishes from the hot pot.
There is no other way. The table is quite big, they are short and their arms are short. If they want to use chopsticks to pick up the food in the hot pot, they can only use this method.
Minian was having a hard time picking out the vegetables. Seeing this, Lan Siyuan helped her pick out several slices of rabbit meat.
Lan Siyuan can actually eat spicy food, but Minnie Ann can't. So in order to take care of Minnie Ann, she had to stop eating spicy food, otherwise the chopsticks would be stained with chili water, which would be spicy for Minnie Ann.
Seeing this, Minian thanked Lan Siyuan.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan, who was standing by, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Xu Yuan's dipping sauce bowl, saying, "Xiao Yuan, sit down. I'll help you choose what you want to eat."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan picked up a piece of rabbit meat, sat back in the chair, looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Yuan."
After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he blew on the rabbit meat he had just picked up and planned to take a bite without dipping it in the sauce.
Xu Yan, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel envious when she saw this. Everyone else had someone to help them, but she, a short girl, had no one to help her.
If only I could choose the other one. No! I can't choose the other one.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan sighed helplessly in his heart, picked up a large piece of rabbit meat, retracted his body, squatted on the chair, and put the rabbit meat into the dipping sauce bowl.
When Xu Yuan felt it was no longer hot, he put the rabbit meat into his mouth and savored it carefully.
The rabbit meat has a delicate and tender texture and a fresh and fragrant taste, which is very much to Xu Yuan's liking.
Xu Yuan thought it was delicious, so he picked up the rabbit meat from the dipping bowl and put it into his mouth.
The rabbit meat dipped in the sauce has a richer flavor and is even more delicious, but Xu Yuan wondered if too much vinegar was added, so it was a little sour. But this did not affect its deliciousness.
Xu Yan looked at Xu Yuan, who had the same expression as before after eating the rabbit meat dipped in sauce, and felt a little confused.
She clearly added pickled pepper water, why didn't Xu Yuan react at all? Did she add too little?
That’s right, the unknown liquid that entered Xuyuan’s dipping sauce bowl was pickled pepper water.
Xu Yan hadn't thought of doing this before, but after seeing Xu Yuan trying to play a trick on Xiao Yuan, she thought of doing this, so she added pickled pepper water. This way it would not be easy to be discovered.
"The store you found is great! The food tastes great." Lucy said to Luo Bingning next to her.
"Of course. I'm a gourmet master. There is no delicacy in the mortal realm that I haven't eaten. What I recommend will definitely not be bad." Luo Bingning puffed out her chest and said confidently.
Luo Bingning was not bragging. Before she came to Xu Yuan's house, she had been wandering around the major cities in the Mortal Realm, searching for delicious food.
When it comes to food, she has a lot to say.
The others also praised the hot pot for its delicious taste.
At this time, Xu Yuan took a few bites of the rabbit meat dipped in the sauce and found something wrong. A burning feeling slowly climbed up from his stomach to his mouth.
Xu Yuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, frowned slightly, opened his mouth slightly, breathed quickly, and said, "It's so spicy! Who put the chili in my bowl!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan took out a bottle of milk and handed it to Xu Yuan, saying, "Xiao Yuan, drink this and you will feel better."
Xu Yuan took the milk and drank it in big gulps without saying thank you.
When the others heard this, they all turned their attention to Xu Yan. They had no chance or motivation to add the chili pepper.
They all have a good relationship with Xu Yuan, but they are not close enough to joke around with each other.
If it wasn't them, then it could only be one of Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan, but Xiao Yuan had just gone to order the food, and Xu Yan happened to return to his seat with Xu Yuan's dipping sauce bowl.
Thinking about it this way, the only one who could add chili peppers is Xu Yan.
Xu Yan saw that everyone was looking at him. Although he was very happy in his heart, he pretended to be innocent and said, "Hey! Why are you all looking at me like that? She is my most beloved original body. How could I possibly put chili peppers to harm her?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. They all knew Xu Yan's character. He would often annoy Xu Yuan. So what she said was completely unreliable.
Even a fool wouldn't believe what Xu Yan said.
Xiao Yuan realized something in her mind when she saw this. This must be Xu Yan's doing. She could only shake her head helplessly. She couldn't control Xu Yan.
But when Xu Yuan heard Xu Yan's words, she believed it. After all, she and Xu Yan had a very close relationship. Moreover, she remembered that Xu Yan had asked her not to use spicy food to prank Xiao Yuan before, so she thought that Xu Yan would not use spicy food for her.
She wondered if she had accidentally put the chili pepper into her own bowl when she was preparing the dipping sauce for Xiao Yuan.
"Annie, do you believe what you said?" Lucy said.
Xu Yan didn't care when he heard that. It didn't matter if they didn't believe it, as long as Xu Yuan believed it. And no one among them saw it, so how could they prove that she was the one who put the pepper there?
No, she didn't put chili peppers in it, she put pickled pepper water in it.
Xu Yan said fearlessly: "Of course I believe it, I really didn't put any chili in it. I guess Xu Yuan put it in the dipping sauce bowl for Xiao Yuan just now, uh uh..."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan quickly put down the milk bottle in her hand and covered Xu Yan's mouth with her right hand. She didn't want Xiao Yuan to know about this. What if Xiao Yuan deducted her dessert because of this?
Xu Yan felt Xu Yuan's hand covering her mouth and could clearly smell the mixed fragrance on her hand. For some reason she wanted to stick out her tongue and lick it, but she quickly rejected the idea.
If she did that, Xu Yuan might ignore her for some time.
Due to the hasty action, a drop of milk hung from the corner of Xu Yuan's mouth. Due to the influence of gravity, the milk slowly flowed downwards, but before it flowed far, Xu Yuan wiped it away with his other hand.
Everyone was a little confused when they saw this, and they wanted to hear Xu Yan continue talking, after all, there seemed to be a lot of story behind it.
After Xu Yuan wiped off the drop of milk, she forced a smile and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't do anything just now. I just thought about it and the pepper must have been accidentally touched in the seasoning area just now."
After listening to Xu Yuan's words which were intended to cover up the truth, everyone understood.
Xu Yuan, who doesn't eat spicy food, how could she let her dipping sauce bowl be stained with chili? Plus what Xu Yan said before.
In their minds, they acted out a scene in which Xu Yuan wanted to play a prank on Xiao Yuan, but for some reason, the two dipping bowls were swapped and they became the ones being pranked.
To some extent, their imaginations were not unreasonable. At least the beginning and the end were correct.
