Chapter 1248

Soon.

Gao Yang ordered Lv Luo to go and have Wang Tao prepare, simply chatted about the troop deployment against the Xiongnu, and the few walked toward the hall.

Inside the hall, warmth wrapped in a strange fragrance hit their faces. As soon as they stepped into the hall, their gazes were instantly attracted by the items on the table.

I saw the black bronze tripod on the table with an ancient shape, the charcoal fire below was burning vigorously, the clear soup in the tripod was rolling, and green onion segments and ginger slices were floating in it, emitting an alluring fragrance.

Different from the conventional eating method of Da Qian, the side of the tripod was filled with small plates, containing fresh ingredients of different colors, pink lamb slices as thin as cicada wings, beef was bright red, and there were water droplets on the fresh vegetables, making them look even more emerald green.

"Minister Gao... is this what you call hot pot?"

Wu Zhao frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Gao Yang nodded, his face full of smiles.

He had been craving this hot pot for too long.

Especially in this autumn and winter season, the weather was already cold, the autumn wind outside was biting, and eating a steaming hot pot indoors was simply unbelievably refreshing.

"Your Majesty, this is hot pot. Just throw these dishes into the pot, cook them, and then eat them with dipping sauce. That taste—is simply perfect!"

Wu Zhao's brows were still furrowed, and she said to Gao Yang: "Cooking so messily, what kind of system is this? I'm afraid it will lose the original taste of the food."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, these words cannot be said."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao suddenly thought of Wu Long, glanced at Wang Tao who was standing not far away and smiling at her, and nodded slightly.

Shangguan Wan'er sipped her red lips, staring at the black bronze tripod on the table, a flash of curiosity on her stunning face.

"It looks novel, but I don't know how it tastes."

The group took their seats, Wu Zhao sat in the first place, and everyone's gazes gathered on Gao Yang.

Gao Linyuan had always been curious about novel things, so he said, "Brat, how do you eat this hot pot? Just throw it in and cook it?"

"Then this nephew will demonstrate it once."

After speaking, Gao Yang picked up a piece of lamb and threw it into the bronze furnace. The lamb changed color instantly in the boiling soup, turning from pink to white like magic.

Gao Yang quickly fished it out, dipped it in the sesame paste that had been prepared, sent it into his mouth, and looked intoxicated.

"Refreshing!"

"This taste is simply perfect!"

"Your Majesty, you really must try this hot pot; the taste is really not bad!"

Wu Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't suppress her curiosity. She imitated Gao Yang's appearance, picked up a piece of lamb, and swished it.

When it was cooked, Wu Zhao picked it up and put it into the bowl of sesame paste.

The sesame paste didn't look good, so when the lamb was picked up, Wu Zhao suddenly fell silent.

This yellow sesame paste, paired with this swishing eating method, could it be delicious?

"Your Majesty, you should try it."

Gao Yang encouraged.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and as if she had let go, sent the lamb wrapped in sesame paste into her mouth.

She secretly swore in her heart that if this wasn't delicious, she would definitely charge Gao Yang with the crime of deceiving the emperor and punish him severely.

But the next second.

Wu Zhao's tightly closed eyes suddenly lit up, and a sense of incredulity permeated the bottom of her eyes.

"This taste..."

Wu Zhao's heart was shocked, her cheeks puffed up, and her eyes were full of surprise.

"This novel eating method, although it seems casual, cleverly integrates the original taste of the ingredients with the fragrance of sesame paste. Since the entrance, every bite seems to have thousands of flavors jumping on the tip of the tongue, truly... truly amazing!"

Wu Zhao gave a very high evaluation. She looked at the bronze furnace in front of her again, and the look in her eyes was completely different from before.

After Shangguan Wan'er took a bite, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her surprise couldn't be suppressed.

When the lamb wrapped in sesame paste touched the tip of her tongue, the tender taste instantly bloomed in her mouth, and the rich and fresh sesame paste perfectly integrated with the fresh lamb, and the fragrance rushed straight to her brain.

"I thought this hasty eating method would lose the essence of the lamb itself, but I didn't expect it to be so wonderful. The lamb and sesame paste are fresh, tender, and fragrant, intertwined layer by layer; it is truly the best taste in the world!"

As for Gao Tianlong, Gao Feng, and Gao Linyuan, they had always known that Gao Yang was an old glutton, so they didn't have any doubts at all, and they couldn't wait to swish the ingredients and start eating directly.

The few didn't speak, just buried their heads and started eating.

"Fragrant!"

"This hot pot is truly a human delicacy!"

"Elder brother, this isn't kind of you; such an eating method, you actually didn't come up with it earlier."

Gao Changwen said to Gao Yang with dissatisfaction, his mouth full of sesame paste.

"This is the clear soup eating method; there is also a spicy eating method, especially if paired with oil dipping sauce, especially garlic juice, that taste is also unique!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao looked dissatisfied.

She put down her chopsticks and said to Gao Yang: "Minister Gao, since there is such an eating method, why didn't you bring it out earlier?"

"Let me try this spicy eating method!"

Wu Zhao's voice rang out.

Gao Yang didn't expect Wu Zhao to like hot pot so much. He ordered Wang Tao to prepare it, and soon the red oil hot pot with chili was brought to Wu Zhao.

In just a moment, a spicy smell permeated the entire hall.

"Hiss!"

"So spicy?"

Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Hot pot must be spicy; it's only delicious if it's spicy."

"Your Majesty, try it."

Da Qian had many seasonings, including chili, peppercorns, green onions, ginger, and other seasonings.

Although Gao Yang expected that hot pot would be very popular, he didn't expect Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er to rate it so highly.

He touched his chin and fell into thought.

It seems... he could open a chain of hot pot restaurants in Da Qian?

Looking at the red oil hot pot in front of her, Wu Zhao had a great appetite. As the emperor of Da Qian, her food was usually extremely light, and the chef who dared to cook for her like this would have long since lost his head.
