Chapter 401 - 401 399 The Hot Pot That Never Gets Old

401: Chapter 399: The Hot Pot That Never Gets Old 401: Chapter 399: The Hot Pot That Never Gets Old Seeing delicious food was about to be served, the two women were quick to act.

They immediately grabbed three sets of bowls and chopsticks and sat at the edge of the dining table, waiting.

Chen Yang, carrying the fragrant hot pot, walked out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

Just as he was about to lift the lid and start eating, he suddenly remembered there were no drinks at home.

This wouldn’t do.

If the food was spicy and hot, how could they get by without cold drinks?

“Don’t rush to eat first, I’ll go to the village head and pick some wild mushrooms on the way back, and also get some cold drinks.

Otherwise, eating just meat later would be a bit too monotonous,”

Chen Yang said.

“Yeah, you’re right.

I almost forgot about that.

Go ahead, we’ll wait for you,”

Li Han nodded, setting down the chopsticks she was holding, ready to wait for Chen Yang to return before eating.

Chen Yang left home and headed to the village head, where he bought some drinks at Uncle Niu’s house.

That morning, Chen Yang had taken Uncle Niu to the city for a big purchase.

So Uncle Niu’s house was stocked with a lot of drinks.

Chen Yang selected two bottles he thought Li Han and Wu Kexin would like, then took out banknotes to pay.

But the second Uncle Niu, who had been all smiles, saw Chen Yang taking out money, his expression immediately soured.

“What are you doing?

Didn’t we agree that you don’t need to pay when you come to my place?”

Uncle Niu said, slightly displeased.

“That won’t do, Uncle Niu.

You run a small business here.

How can it go on without payment?

If you won’t take the money, I’ll feel embarrassed to come by later,”

Chen Yang chuckled but insisted on giving Uncle Niu the money.

Uncle Niu really hadn’t planned on taking any, considering Chen Yang had helped him with so many things—the drinks were nothing.

But since Chen Yang said he would feel embarrassed to come if he didn’t pay, Uncle Niu reluctantly accepted the money.

“Alright then, I’ll take it,”

Uncle Niu, with a complicated look on his face, accepted the money and then saw Chen Yang out the door.

Just as Chen Yang was about to leave, Uncle Niu suddenly remembered the business about the temporary snack stand.

So he called out to Chen Yang.

“Hey, Yang Zi, did you manage to sort out the snack stand stuff for me?

How much is it?

Let me give you the money first,”

As he spoke, Uncle Niu started to take out money, intending to give Chen Yang the funds for the temporary snack stand.

But Chen Yang hadn’t contacted the manufacturer yet, so he had no idea how much it would be.

“No need, Uncle Niu, I haven’t made contact yet.

I’ll do it tomorrow and then you can pay me after I’ve set it up for you—it won’t be too late,”

Chen Yang gestured with his hand.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang hadn’t yet made contact, Uncle Niu didn’t take out the money.

“Oh, okay then.

In that case, I’ll leave that matter in your capable hands.

Otherwise, I have so much stock at home there’s barely room to store it,”

Uncle Niu said with a smile.

“Yeah, don’t worry, Uncle Niu.

I’ll be on top of it and will contact them for you tomorrow,”

Chen Yang nodded, then carried the drinks back home.

The two ladies at home could hardly wait.

Seeing Chen Yang’s return, Li Han immediately got ready to eat.

“Time to eat.”

Li Han looked forward to lifting the lid, and in an instant, a rich meaty fragrance burst forth from the pot.

That aroma greatly stimulated the appetite of all three of them.

Even Chen Yang, smelling such a scent, could barely contain himself.

However, he first went to get two cups for the ladies before sitting down to eat.

The taste of wolf meat, though not their first time eating it, still made everyone sing its praises for its incredible flavor.

There were two very important factors that made this hot pot so delicious.

One was the meat of the wild wolf, which was tastier than regular meat.

The second was Chen Yang’s unique way of cooking hot pot.

He added exclusive ingredients and simmered them in the pot for over an hour.

It was more like simmering meat than a hot pot.

The flavors of the seasonings and the delicious broth all seeped into the tender meat.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was top-tier cuisine.

Eating such delicious food, the three of them had an incredible unspoken understanding, almost devoid of conversation.

All of them buried their heads in a frenzy of eating.

The phrase heard most frequently was from Li Han, “Chen Yang, pour me another drink.”

Wu Kexin, “I want one too.”

…

The three of them ate like this for over two hours, from after seven until past nine.

Stuffed full, they sat on their stools digesting.

“Burp, I haven’t eaten so fully in a long time, it was truly delicious.”

Chen Yang rubbed his stomach and spoke languidly.

“It was indeed delicious.

Chen Yang, you really could become the head chef at my hotel.”

Li Han said with a laugh.

“Haha, I think so too.

I’m not doing anything at home anyway, I could take a shift at Li Han’s hotel.”

Upon hearing what Li Han said, Wu Kexin immediately laughed along in agreement, thinking Chen Yang could totally work at Li Han’s hotel.

Seeing that the two girls were on the same page, Chen Yang rolled his eyes at them.

“Who said I have nothing to do at home?

I’ve got plenty on my plate.”

As he spoke, Chen Yang quickly took out his phone and called Gao Ya.

He asked where they bought the materials for their temporary factory.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s purpose, Gao Ya said she wasn’t clear, but she gave him Gu Ming’s number.

Telling Chen Yang to ask Gu Ming, because Gu Ming was in charge of those things.

“Oh, okay then, thanks, Sister Gao.”

Chen Yang expressed his thanks.

“No need to be polite.

If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up.”

Gao Ya responded quite indifferently to Chen Yang and then proceeded to end the call.

Feeling the chill in her tone, Chen Yang knew she must still be upset about the dinner with Wang Jingman.

“Ah, don’t hang up, Sister Gao; I still have something I need to ask you.”

Chen Yang quickly interjected.

Gao Ya, who was about to hang up, lifted the phone back to her ear after hearing Chen Yang’s voice.

“What is it, is there something else?”

“Heh heh,” Chen Yang chuckled awkwardly, “Nothing much, just wanted to know when you’ll be coming over, I have something I need to talk to you about.”

Chen Yang was looking for an opportunity to explain the misunderstanding from the other day.

But Gao Ya was clueless and thought Chen Yang was still dwelling on that matter.

So she replied quite coldly.

“If you have something to say, we can talk on the phone.”

Seeing Gao Ya still so cold, Chen Yang was really at a loss for words.

How could this woman’s heart change so suddenly?

But he still patiently, with a smile, said, “Sister Gao Ya, I really must talk to you in person about this; I simply can’t explain it clearly over the phone.

When exactly will you be here?”

Gao Ya was only temporarily upset about the incident and hadn’t taken it to heart.

She understood very well what her relationship with Chen Yang was.

She was of a certain age after all, and couldn’t just tie Chen Yang down just because they were somewhat involved, could she?

So her attitude softened.

And she told Chen Yang when she would be visiting Willow River Village.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll be there in a couple of days,” Gao Ya said evenly.

“Alright, then let me know when you’re here, and I’ll come find you,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Mm-hmm.”

Gao Ya hummed twice, then decisively hung up the phone.

Following that, she sent Gu Ming’s phone number to Chen Yang via text message.
