Yuan Zhou did not take out the chair and start sculpting.
Outside the restaurant, the wind was blowing and the temperature was dropping.

While not in business, Yuan Zhou ’s restaurant appeared rather desolate as the Chinese New Year approached.
After all, a number of shops on the side street had been closed for business as the owners had returned home for the new year.

At this time, the kindergartens and elementary schools were all on a holiday.
Therefore, there was no one coming to take the sculptures.
Hence, the sculptures placed on the shelf outside had all turned into ice sculptures.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Some sounds could be heard from the kitchen.

This pepper tastes decent. ” Yuan Zhou was waving the spatula with one hand and wiping his sweat using a towel with the other hand.

The whooshing sound came from the bright red peppers rolling about in the pot.
The strips of peppers had a bright color, and as the temperature increased, a tinge of gold appeared on them.
At the same time, a tempting yet suffocating aroma of spiciness waffled out.

Yuan Zhou only stopped after every single strip of the peppers thoroughly turned crunchy.

”Pa! ” Yuan Zhou turned off the stove and poured the peppers out before putting them into a bamboo basket, waiting for them to cool down.

When they had cooled down sufficiently, Yuan Zhou started pounding the peppers with a mortar.
Slowly, he grounded them into pieces before taking them out.

”Almost done, ” After he was done, it was near dinner time.

”Let ’s go, ” Ling Hong called out to Jiang Changxi.
Both of them were carrying a case.

”Where ’s Wu Hai? ” Jiang Changxi asked.

”He ’s definitely inside already, ” Ling Hong confidently guessed.

”Wow, you ’re right. ” Jiang Changxi saw a stool beside the two-seated table, with Wu Hai sitting on it with his back facing them.

”I brought the chair and have ordered food, ” Wu Hai said as he looked at the two that were walking in carrying a case each.

”Hehe. ” Ling Hong sat down and started arranging the dishes he brought on the table.

”Hehe. ” Jiang Changxi took out two canned beers.
Crystalline droplets of water could be seen on the surface of the beers.
It was evident that these were frozen beers.

”I ’ll pay for the liquor tonight, ” Wu Hai said while clenching his teeth, as if he was making a huge sacrifice.

”That is only natural. ” Jiang Changxi nodded.

”Yeah, ” Ling Hong nodded in agreement.

”I thought I would have the chance to have the liquor all for myself, aiii… ” Wu Hai rubbed his little mustaches and sighed.

It wasn ’t that he had offered his liquor because he felt guilty hiding it from them.
Rather, he felt embarrassed when he saw them came bringing their own food.
No matter what, he was an artist, one with a thin skin.

”Your hotpot is here.
Please take your time and enjoy the meal. ” Mu Xiaoyun arrived timely with the hotpot.

”Thanks, Little Yun, ” Jiang Changxi thanked her.

”You ’re welcome, ” Mu Xiaoyun replied and started serving the other customers.

The hotpot she brought them was quite huge.
Since the hotpot was boiling, splashing sounds could be heard.
The red sauce painted the originally brown broth into a bright red color.

Along with the steam, a sense of spiciness rose up into the air.

”Hiss, so spicy, ” Jiang Changxi couldn ’t help but say this.

”Yeah, I feel like it ’s even spicier than usual. ” Wu Hai nodded in satisfaction.

”I think it is indeed spicier.
This taste is so satisfying. ” Ling Hong nodded as well.

”A spicy hotpot like this will go very well with frozen beer and lemonade. ” Wu Hai was so satisfied his brows spread out in comfort.

”Let ’s dig in. ” Ling Hong did not bother saying anything else.
He immediately picked his chopsticks up and start eating.

”Yeah, let ’s start eating. ” Jiang Changxi did not need to watch her weight.
Therefore, her first target was the beef.

Since the weather was cold, there was a layer of translucent glaze on the beef, making it look as beautiful as marble.
The beef was rolled up, and the moment it entered the broth, it rolled out.

The sight of the red-and-white beef entering the red broth immediately triggered Ling Hong ’s and Wu Hai ’s appetite.
