Chapter 591 - 525: The Lonely Sister and Brother of the Ancient Hunter’s Family 46
Rong Yan didn’t explain too much, but sat down and gave him a demonstration.
She picked up a slice of beef.
It had to be said that the chef’s knife skills were genuinely impressive, slicing the mutton very thin and evenly.
Rong Yan dipped it into the boiling hotpot for a few seconds, then lifted it out to dip in the sauce... before popping it into her mouth.
It was just a pity that beef here was so precious, otherwise they would have opted for beef.
However, the mutton, once cooked this way, was quite delicious.
Seeing Rong Yan’s actions, Qin Ye walked over and sat down, "I didn’t expect it could be eaten this way, quite novel, I’ll give it a try as well."
"Master, let’s eat too," Rong Jin, seeing Sister eat like that, also couldn’t wait.
Hu Dao:...
Though he, too, was interested, he decided against it...
At this moment, Rong Yan spoke, "We have two pots here, and there’s plenty, come sit down and join us."
Rong Jin called him master, and Hu Dao’s martial arts were formidable... he had the skills to be Rong Jin’s master.
As for positions of seniority... for them as siblings, it didn’t exist... after all, they were just ordinary people.
Moreover, it wasn’t easy to find a traditional master who was good at martial arts.
However, Hu Dao always insisted he was just offering guidance, not to be called master.
Perhaps he had emphasized it too often, Rong Yan let it be, and as for Rong Jin insisting on calling him Master, she didn’t stop it.
After all, this mentor-disciple relationship did exist.
So, what was wrong with eating hotpot together?
"Subordinate not..." Hu Dao hadn’t finished his sentence of refusal when he heard his master say, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and sit down."
Qin Ye was indeed not as strict with protocols as those in Beijing.
In the military camp, he sometimes ate and drank with the soldiers, sharing joy with the troops.
Hu Dao had been quite tempted by this new way of eating, so, when his master spoke like this, he immediately gave Rong Yan a salute, "Thank you, Miss Rong."
Rong Jin quickly pointed to the seat next to him, "Master, sit here."
Hu Dao immediately sat down.
"This one is spicy, this one is not, you can choose which one you want to dip into. Both can be eaten with this sauce."
Rong Yan briefly introduced them, then said no more.
After all, it wasn’t something difficult to manage.
Nobody here was foolish.
After trying it, both Qin Ye and Hu Dao found it very good.
"Your Highness, this soup base can be eaten in the military camp, it can warm up the body," it was especially appropriate now as the weather was cold.
Moreover, the weather would only get colder, honestly, it was really good for resisting the cold.
Qin Ye looked at Rong Yan.
Before he could speak, Rong Yan directly said, "The ingredients for this hotpot base can be sold to you at the lowest price per portion."
She would donate some vegetables, some grains... mainly because she couldn’t bear to see the soldiers going hungry.
Besides, how could they fight if the soldiers were starving?
If they couldn’t hold the border.
Then wouldn’t her newly established business be ruined too?
Of course, she could sell the food to the military camp at the lowest possible price in the future.
Qin Ye had never planned to take it for free, so upon hearing this, he immediately nodded, "Of course, we will pay silver, just that it’s a bit troublesome for you, thank you for your effort."
Rong Yan looked at him calmly, "It’s not troublesome at all, just arrange it and let me know how many portions you need? I’ll get someone to prepare them."
Qin Ye immediately gave a number, "How about, let’s start with a hundred portions?"
"So few?" This time it was Rong Yan’s turn to be surprised.
Qin Ye:...
Wasn’t he just trying to avoid troubling her?
