Chapter 104 Dinner Party
They're all young people, so there's no need to make anything fancy. Just a hot pot with some cold dishes you buy, and he can stir-fry a couple of other dishes.
Huang Long took the radish, washed it, and peeled it. He had originally intended to throw away the radish leaves as well, since they usually didn't eat them.
But Zeng Qi stopped her, saying, "Hey, don't throw it away, it's delicious, keep it."
Huang Long glanced at Zeng Qi in surprise, not expecting him to like this, but then thought it didn't matter, and if people liked it after washing it, they could eat it, or not.
Because there were so many people, Huanglong simply washed all three radishes and cut them into a large bowl.
"Wow, Chess Piece, this radish is way too big! I'll just cut out a whole bowl of it."
Zeng Qi nodded, "The radishes I bought are indeed quite large. One a day would be enough for me."
Huang Long nodded, "Okay, this much food should be enough. Let's start eating."
"Okay, let's start eating."
Huang Long's friends arrived one after another, totaling about eight people, all of whom were close friends.
However, to make it easier for everyone to cook their food, Huanglong has placed two hot pots on top, which makes it more convenient for everyone.
"Come on, everyone, please take your seats. Dinner is served! Would you like some soft drinks or beer?"
"I want a drink!"
"Let's have a drink, we still need to drive later."
"Let's drink, let's drink! On such a good day, we should drink."
Zeng Qi ordered a drink; he didn't really want to drink alcohol.
"Then I'll start adding the vegetables. You can add whatever you want to eat."
"Okay, okay, we know."
"Add duck blood, add duck blood, I love eating it the most."
"This sliced beef is also quite good."
"I want to eat duck intestines."
A group of people started putting in their favorite dishes, but most of them were meat dishes. Zeng Qi didn't touch the meat, but instead scooped up a large spoonful of radish and put some in both the red and clear broth.
"Hey Zeng Qi, why are you eating radishes so quickly? There's plenty of meat here."
Zeng Qi smiled and replied, "I want to eat some radishes. Anyway, they take a long time to cook, so it's fine to put them in first."
After saying that, they started eating the other dishes.
A group of people were chatting and laughing while eating. There was even a TV in the living room, making it quite lively.
After some time, Zeng Qi saw that the radishes were cooked, and his eyes lit up. He used a slotted spoon to scoop up two pieces and put them into a bowl.
Once it cooled down a little, I took a bite, my expression one of pure bliss.
Seeing Zeng Qi's expression, Huang Long became more curious and scooped two pieces from the soup to try.
This bite was incredible. The radish wasn't cooked until it was mushy; instead, it was infused with the spicy aroma of chili peppers in the red broth. The crispness and sweetness were enhanced by the added spiciness, making it exceptionally delicious.
He couldn't help but make some noises, "Mmm, this is delicious."
He then scooped out two pieces of radish from the clear soup. The radish in the soup was not overpowered by the flavors, which allowed it to retain its own taste, making it very refreshing and delicious.
Upon discovering this delicious food, he and Zeng Qi focused solely on eating the radishes from the hot pot, ignoring everything else, such as chicken feet, beef, tripe, and duck intestines.
Huanglong added a lot more radishes to it.
Their unusual behavior eventually attracted the attention of others.
"What are you doing? Why are you all just eating radishes? Are they that delicious?"
Liang Shi looked at the two of them with some curiosity and asked, but at that moment their mouths were full of radishes and they couldn't answer her.
She decided to try it herself. She picked up a piece of radish, blew on it, and took a small bite. Her eyes immediately lit up with admiration.
After he swallowed the radish, he couldn't help but praise it, "This radish is so delicious! You two are being unfair, just eating your own food in silence."
However, after saying that, she quickly scooped a few pieces of radish into her own bowl.
The others then realized something was wrong and began scrambling for the radishes.
Immediately, the entire living room was filled with words of praise.
"Wow, this radish is so delicious!"
"It smells so good, the sweet and spicy flavor is really delicious."
"The slightly crispy ones are also delicious."
Immediately, the eight people started grabbing radishes non-stop, so Huang Long had to quickly take out all the remaining radishes from the kitchen and dump the whole bowl of them down.
He felt like he was facing a group of hungry piglets, and he needed to "feed" them quickly.
Even with a large bowl of radishes, the fighting power of eight people is still quite terrifying.
Huang Long initially only considered this dish as an add-on, since there were so many other dishes to choose from. However, he never expected that the radish would become the main dish.
Some people couldn't wait and just scooped up the raw radish and ate it. Radishes can be eaten raw or cooked, and they taste good.
"That's too ruthless! Leave me a piece!"
"How could you scoop out such a big spoonful of radish? Once you've scooped it all out, there won't be much left."
"There's still some left, right? You can take more. I can eat a lot, so of course I'll eat more."
"Ugh, I barely ate any, and you bunch of animals are going to take it all."
Seeing the fierce battle, Huang Long sat down and joined the others in the fight.
The only one who was slightly more relaxed was Zeng Qi. He had already eaten a lot of radishes at the beginning and was quite full now. He was in no hurry to fight with these people for radishes and was happy to eat some other dishes.
What's even better is that he has a huge pile of radishes at home, which he can eat slowly. Let these poor people fight over them, haha.
"That's all, that's all!" Huang Long snatched the last piece of radish, and everyone else looked at him with great regret.
Huang Long immediately put the chopsticks in his bowl and took a bite. The eyes of these people were terrifying; it felt like they were about to pounce on him and bite his chopsticks.
The others watched him take a bite and then stop with regret, and then someone asked him something.
"Huanglong, where did you buy these radishes? I've never eaten such delicious radishes before."
"Yes, I usually hate eating radishes and have never eaten them so delicious before."
Huang Long swallowed the radish in his mouth and said, "This is not my doing; Zeng Qi brought it over."
"what!"
Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Zeng Qi, their eyes practically gleaming with greed, like wolves eyeing sheep.
Zeng Qi trembled under their gazes and quickly waved his hand, "Don't look at me. I only buy a few occasionally. I'll add you to the group, and you can buy them yourselves in a couple of days."
"That's great!" Huang Long was the first to stand up and run over to hug Zeng Qi. The others also went over and lifted him up, cheering continuously.
