Salted fish opened an inn, and martial arts heroines came to stay

Zhao Min muttered.

"Alright, I'll go out for a walk and bring back two big hens for my little Jin."

Lin Hainan stretched his waist and said.

"Your little Jin has the same virtue as you. He eats and sleeps every day, and eats and sleeps. He has gained two laps of weight recently."

Zhao Min rolled his eyes.

"Hey, it's better to be fat and resist beating."

Lin Hainan smiled, then turned and went downstairs.

Zhao Min bid farewell to Shangguan Haitang and went downstairs.

Beside the counter, Zhao Min picked up the tea box, squeezed out a pinch of Tieguanyin, and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, she put it in front of her nose and sniffed it.

"Strange, it's exactly the same as Lin Hainan's tea."

Immediately, she put the tea into the teapot and brewed a pot.

"It's really strange. How can the taste of the same tea leaves be so different?"

Zhao Min took a sip of Tieguanyin and wanted to spit it out.

Inside the viewing pavilion.

Shangguan Haitang held the teacup, smelling the residual tea fragrance, and was in a daze.

"Who is he? Why are there so many secrets in him?"

"Moreover, at such a young age, he has such an open-minded state of mind, and he is extremely generous to his friends."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Chapter 21 Haven't You Ever Eat Mandarin Duck Pot?

New Year's Eve.

Qixia town was full of joy.

All households are busy preparing for the New Year and preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The guests of Xianyu Inn are naturally pitifully few.

Zhao Min sent all the guys in the inn home.

A year-end bonus of six taels of silver was also given to each person.

The guys were overjoyed, thanked Zhao Min and Lin Hainan repeatedly, and returned home.

Now, there are only three people left in the entire inn.

Lin Hainan has no other family members, so he can only stay in the inn.

"Zhao Ming, why don't you go home for the New Year?"

Lin Hainan asked Zhao Min.

"I don't want to go back."

Zhao Min was a little melancholy, and replied three words lightly.

"Oh, I think you just want to stay here to eat and drink. However, your choice is very wise, and you are lucky."

Lin Hainan laughed.

"Hey, Boss Lin is finally willing to cook?"

Zhao Min gave him a blank look.

But the melancholy homesickness before has been diluted a lot.

Although she also misses home, if she goes back, she will probably be left at home by her father.

She has gotten used to the peaceful life in Qixia Town, and even fell in love with it.

So, she chose to stay at work.

"Sir Shangguan, why don't you go back to Longshan Villa to celebrate the New Year?"

Zhao Min looked at Shangguan Haitang who was drinking tea silently.

"I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have long since lost my home."

Speaking of this, she thought of the tragic scene when her family was killed, and she felt sad.

"Sorry to remind you of something unpleasant."

Seeing Shangguan Haitang's expression, Zhao Min knew that he had touched her heart.

She gently held Shangguan Haitang's right hand, her eyes showed concern.

Lin Hainan was taken aback when he saw this, and coughed twice.

"What a boy, he actually ate tofu from Haitang."

Lin Hainan felt a little envious and jealous in his heart.

"It's okay, I've already passed this hurdle."

Shangguan Haitang smiled slightly, stretched out her left hand and patted Zhao Min's hand to express her gratitude.

"If you don't go back, will God Lord Tiedan blame you?"

Lin Hainan asked.

"No, Shenhou is now fully focused on the important affairs of the court. We at Hulong Villa have not known the taste of Chinese New Year for several years in a row."

There was bitterness in Shangguan Haitang's smile.

"Although Shenhou treats me very well, I still prefer the peaceful life in Qixia Town."

she said again.

"Okay, since we are both fallen in the world, let's spend a fat New Year's Eve together!"

Lin Hainan stood up and slapped the table with his right palm.

"How's it going?"

The two women asked in unison.

"eat hot pot!"

Lin Hainan blurted out.

"If you want to eat hot pot, do you want to show off your skills? I can do it too."

Zhao Min rolled his eyes.

"Then you underestimate hot pot. Hot pot seems simple, but it is easy to learn and difficult to master. When you eat it later, don't chew your tongue off."

Lin Hainan said.

"I am looking forward."

Shangguan Haitang said with a smile.

"Master Shangguan still understands me! Do you want spicy food or non-spicy food?"

Lin Hainan asked.

"Spicy, of course!"

"Not spicy."

The two women answered at the same time.

Zhao Min likes spicy food, but Shangguan Haitang doesn't like spicy food.

After speaking, the two looked at each other, both a little funny.

"Then it's not spicy, I'll just dip it in some hot sauce."

Zhao *** voluntarily gave up, but there was a hint of unhappiness in his voice.

"Slightly spicy is fine, I'll just drink more tea."

Shangguan Haitang also expressed her intention to back down.

"Have you never eaten mandarin duck pot?"

Lin Hainan asked in surprise.

"What is a mandarin duck pot?"

Shangguan Haitang shook her head and said.

"Why does it sound so ambiguous? Is this mandarin duck pot serious?"

Zhao Min expressed doubts.

"It's just a pot with two sides, one side is spicy, and the other side is not. Just in time, I ordered a mandarin duck pot at the iron shop some time ago, and I can use it today."

Lin Hainan educated the two of them.

"Who came up with this mandarin duck pot? What a brain."

Zhao Min praised.

"Then let's wash and chop the vegetables for you, let's start."

Shangguan Haitang volunteered.

"That would be the best! I'll make a secret soup base and sauce for you to like."

Lin Hainan clapped his hands and said.

After all, the three of them started to get busy, dividing and cooperating.

Zhao Min collected all the existing materials in the kitchen.

Lin Hainan first instructed the two of them which vegetables to wash and how to cut them.

Then, I started to concentrate on making soup bases and sauces.

He made two soup bases, one is a spicy soup base based on mutton scorpion, and it takes the Jiangzhou route.

The other is a fragrant soup base based on chicken and coconut milk, following the Qiongzhou route.

As for the sauce, it is a complex combination of various spices.

After working for almost an hour.

The three finally finished their work and sat around the table.

Looking at the mandarin duck charcoal hot pot in front of me, I can smell the tangy fragrance.

The three secretly swallowed their saliva.

"Don't worry, drink some wine first, this is Zhang Ji's 20-year-old daughter red."

Lin Hainan poured a glass of wine for each of them.

"Come, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you can sleep peacefully without worry tomorrow!"

Lin Hainan raised his wine glass and said loudly.

"Blindly correcting other people's poems, the second half of the sentence is clearly 'sorry for tomorrow, worry about tomorrow'"

Zhao Min gave him a blank look.

"I think Brother Lin's sentence is better, come on, may we sleep peacefully tomorrow without any worries!"

Shangguan Haitang raised his wine glass.

The three raised their heads together and drank the wine in their glasses.

"Finally ready to eat!"

Zhao Min and Shangguan Haitang picked up their chopsticks and couldn't wait to start eating.

"Wait! Drink coconut chicken soup first to moisten your stomach."

Lin Hainan stretched out his chopsticks to stop the two of them, and said.
