Chapter 129 Hot Pot~
The second half of Gongsun Qing's words were lost in the boy's voice inviting guests.

Li Shishi didn't hear what he said clearly, but just when she was about to ask, there was a customer who wanted to pay.

So she smiled apologetically at Gongsun Qing, and then hurriedly got up to pay the bill.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, there were more and more guests in Wu's restaurant, and Li Shishi was busy attracting guests so she didn't talk to Gongsun Qing.

The steaming hot pot was brought up by the boy.

Gongsun Qing was not too surprised. Gongsun Qing also ate it when he was in the capital, but he didn't like the clear soup with sesame sauce.

So he didn't pay attention to the red oily bottom of the hot pot brought by the boy.

His gaze was still on Li Shishi, and he was fixed on it.

When the boy came over with side dishes, he saw Gongsun Qing's eyes glued to Li Shishi's body.

He smiled and put down the dishes, and said to Gongsun Qing: "Our second shopkeeper looks good."

"En." Gongsun Qing nodded naturally, and then he came to his senses. When he saw the boy's suspiciously ambiguous eyes, Gongsun Qing coughed unnaturally and changed the subject.
"Hey, is the food ready?"

The young man put down the dishes and wiped the table, but he didn't answer the question: "Our second shopkeeper is not only beautiful but also smart, and he is also generous to people. I see that you are a good-looking talent, young master, and you are a good match for our second shopkeeper."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Gongsun Qing looked like a gentleman, but he was happy in his heart: He said that I match Shishi very well!Well, good eyesight.

"But it's a pity that our second shopkeeper had a husband before. Otherwise, there would be a long queue of people chasing her."

The boy said to himself.

Gongsun Qing frowned, somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, he had met Li Shishi's ex-husband before.

He's a hard-nosed, bullying bastard.

What's wrong with Li Shishi reconciling with him?

So he looked at the boy and asked casually, "Why do you say that?"

The young man said indifferently: "Hey, you still don't understand this? Who is a good man who is willing to marry a woman who is harmonious and has children. I dare not tell others, anyway, I will definitely not marry."

The boy in front of him was only about eighteen or nineteen. Although he had already reached the crown, his face was still childish.

Presumably, he is also an indifferent master.

Gongsun Qing smiled, but did not speak.

In the eyes of the boy, Li Shishi might just be a kind second shopkeeper.

But in Gongsun Qing's eyes, she is not only the shopkeeper of Wu's restaurant, but also the person who saved his life and was put in his heart.

Gongsun said nothing.

It's just that the expression is not very good.

The young man didn't want to offend this rich customer, seeing that he didn't speak, he put down the dishes and turned to leave.

Life is always full of hate.

Even someone with military power like Gongsun Qing.

The father died and the mother became a widow.

Take him alone to prop up a huge family business.

When Gongsun Qing was named a general and inherited his father's title, he thought it was time for his mother to enjoy the blessings.

Unexpectedly, the year-round hard work exhausted the mother's hard work, and finally fell down on the bed and never opened her eyes.

Everyone in the world knows that King Suiyuan fought on the battlefield, has made many military exploits over the years, and is also a high-ranking and powerful king in the court.

But what they don't know is that he has walked on thin ice many times, just because he has no support behind him.

Perhaps it was Li Shishi's appearance that made him feel the long-lost warmth again, or maybe Li Shishi never regarded him as an unreachable existence.

Therefore, he will feel at ease.

His eyes fell on Li Shishi again.

Only to find that Li Shishi also happened to turn around.

The hot pot is steaming, wantonly exuding its unique aroma.

Gongsun Qing was attracted by the smell, so he turned his head and looked at the hot pot.

He was surprised to find that it was different from the one he had eaten before.

"Butter hot pot, why don't you try it?"

Li Shishi appeared right behind him with a smile on her face.

"New dishes?" Gongsun Qing asked.

"Well, it's cold in winter, so it's best to eat hot pot." Li Shishi smiled: "It's thanks to you, the dishes you sent someone before came in handy."

"Food?" Gongsun Qing didn't understand, so he asked, "When did I deliver the food to you?"

Li Shishi replied with a smile: "The first time we met, I saved your subordinate by accident. The two bowls of thank you you gave at that time."

Gongsun Qing was stunned: "So that's it. I thought it was just a beautiful flower. It turned out to be vegetables. I blame my ignorance."

Li Shishi shook her head: "Actually, this dish is called chili pepper. When it is ripe, it is red in color. It can be used for cooking or as a seasoning."

Then she picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful into the hot pot: "Look, the red one is my sun-dried chili pepper. If you eat it alone, it will feel very spicy. Most people can't accept it, but if you put it in the hot pot, it will be very spicy. Mixed with Italian butter, it becomes the most suitable dish in winter. If beef and mutton are boiled in it, it will be extremely delicious.”

While talking, Li Shishi picked up the beef slices with chopsticks and put them in the pot: "Scrambled up and down, it's the most suitable, try it."

Gongsun Qing looked at the beef in the bowl, wrapped in red soup base, it really looked delicious.

But because of the preserved egg tofu incident before, Gongsun Qing still didn't dare to use his chopsticks lightly, fearing that it might taste strange again.

Seeing that he was not moving, Li Shishi joked, "What's the matter? Are you afraid it's poisonous?"

Gongsun Qing was stunned, then shook his head silently: "No, how could it be."

Mustering up his courage, he picked up the beef with chopsticks.

Swallowing, he finally put the beef in his mouth.

Then there was a burning sensation in the mouth, but it was more of the deliciousness of the beef and the salty aroma of the soup.

Although there was some discomfort, fortunately Gongsun Qing could bear it.

After swallowing the beef, his spicy ears turned red.

"This...how can this be...how can there be such a wonderful feeling."

"Take a sip of milk." Li Shishi said, pouring the milk she specially prepared into a cup and handing it to Gongsun Qing.

Gongsun Qing quickly took it and drank it down. After a while, the burning sensation in his mouth slowly faded away.

"How is it?" Li Shishi asked with a smile.

"It tastes good, but it always feels like a fire is burning in my mouth." Gongsun Qing commented truthfully.

Li Shishi chuckled: "This stuff is like preserved egg tofu. After eating it for the first time, I want to eat it for the second time. Just get used to it."

Gongsun Qing, who had recovered his normal expression, looked at Li Shishi's smiling face, and couldn't help asking, "Why do you always research things that are different from others?"

Li Shishi was taken aback, then smiled and replied: "Because I am different from them."
