Chapter 164: Eat Hot Pot

Chapter 164

"Then I'll toast you with tea instead of wine, wishing you a prosperous business and abundant wealth," Huo Jian Sheng raised his cup and said.

Li Man quickly picked up her cup and lightly tapped it against his, smiling as she replied, "Thank you! When I open my shop, I'll treat you to barbecue."

"Great, I'll definitely come then."

"Welcome, welcome!"

"When will you open? Where will you set up your stall?"

"At Tianyan Street," Li Man said.

At that moment, the dishes were gradually served, and the red hotpot bubbled and boiled with the dry chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns dancing joyfully in the soup base. The steam rose, filling the air with a tantalizing aroma, making Li Man's mouth water and her appetite soar.

Unable to resist, Li Man picked up a goose intestine and gently dipped it into the lively red hotpot. After a few seconds, she put it in her mouth.

The spicy and fragrant taste made her close her eyes in satisfaction and let out a contented sigh, "So delicious!"

Huo Jian Sheng looked at the woman who was eating with a satisfied expression, and his lips unconsciously curled up.

"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and eat, it really tastes amazing." Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Seeing that Huo Jian Sheng hadn't touched his chopsticks, Li Man picked up another goose intestine and put it into the hotpot, instructing Huo Jian Sheng, "You have to do it like me. Don't cook it for too long, or it will become tough and lose its flavor. After a few seconds, you can eat it. Come on, give it a try."

Li Man put the blanched goose intestine into Huo Jian Sheng's bowl.

"Right, where will you set up your stall?"

"At Tianyan Street."

"Well, that's a good location with a lot of foot traffic," Huo Jian Sheng nodded as he ate.

"Yes, the stalls there all have great business... Ah, it's so spicy!" Li Man gasped from the spiciness and quickly grabbed a bottle of sour plum juice, taking a few sips.

Huo Jian Sheng chuckled, "So have you secured the stall yet?"

Li Man's face fell, "Not yet, I'm still looking."

"Oh, do you know how to barbecue?"

"I do, it's not a problem for me," Li Man confidently replied.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Huo Jian Sheng asked.

Li Man waved the chopsticks in her hand. "No, thanks."

"If you need anything, just let me know. No need to be polite with me," Huo Jian Sheng insisted.

Li Man smiled. "Don't worry, if I really need your help, I will ask."

"That's good to hear. Don't be shy with me," Huo Jian Sheng said.

Being with Li Man, Huo Jian Sheng didn't realize that he was speaking more than usual.
