A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 291 Hot Pot Base
Shen Tang turned to look at Xiao Jin, who was moving a table, and went over to help. "I'll do it. You go outside the city and catch a lamb. I want to make lamb rolls!"

Now there are so many more ingredients available, just thinking about them makes my mouth water.

Xiao Jin used his tail to curl her up and put her aside. She didn't need to lift a finger for this. After quickly moving the table and chairs into the yard, he transformed into his beast form and sharpened his claws. "Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll go and catch some for you. We'll have a big meal tonight!"

"No need, we can't finish too much anyway, and we have plenty of food at home."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right back." Xiao Jin lowered his head and rubbed against her waist before darting out the door like a bolt of black lightning.

Before Shen Tang could even tell him to slow down, the stinky leopard disappeared in the blink of an eye!
She shook her head and smiled, then took out fresh fruits and vegetables from her storage space.

Fortunately, the system rewarded her with preservatives, so the food stored in the space wouldn't spoil. However, the space was limited, and she needed to put other things in some areas, so she only set aside one area in the space to store food. She could only put some emergency food there, and there wasn't enough room for anything else.

Shen Tang wanted to take some time to go back to Green Field City.

But the matters in Kongdu City are not yet finished, so he cannot return for the time being.

The crops in Greenfield City should have yielded another bumper harvest.

Unfortunately, the grain had not yet been officially sold to the public, so she couldn't buy any. She could only tell Hu Yun to bring some grain and vegetables over.

She can't possibly eat meat and drink those awful-tasting nutritional supplements every day.

Shen Tang walked into the kitchen and called Shen Li, who was curled up on the sofa reading a book, over. She told him to pick and wash the vegetables. "Don't be lazy, work hard, or you won't get any hot pot tonight!"

Shen Li was successfully threatened by her.

Thinking back to the hot pot we had last time, it was so delicious that it left a lingering taste on my tongue.

"It's just washing vegetables. My brother is very quick and efficient. I'll wash them clean for you right away."

As he spoke, Shen Li took a basket of vegetable leaves, all of them a vibrant green.

He couldn't tell what kind of vegetables they were; some were round, some were pointed, and some had wrinkles around the edges of their leaves... but he knew they tasted good.

The man tied up his long red hair, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his slender, fair forearms, put the vegetable leaves into a strainer, turned on the tap, and carefully washed each vegetable leaf.

Her movements were incredibly elegant and refined, displaying a graceful demeanor.

Shen Tang never imagined in her life that someone could wash vegetables in such a pleasing way, as if sculpting some kind of precious work of art.

Seeing Shen Li's actions, Shen Tang couldn't help but twitch his lips. As expected of a young nobleman who had never done any work, he had never seen anyone wash a vegetable leaf one by one. The vegetable leaves were almost crushed by him!
Shen Tang was speechless. "Just pick out the withered and rotten leaves and rinse them with water a couple more times. If you keep washing them like this, you won't be able to eat dinner before bed tonight!"

Shen Li: "Isn't this because I wanted you to see me working hard?"

As he spoke, the fluffy, soft fox tail quietly wrapped around her slender waist, the tip of the tail gently brushing against her navel, as if in some kind of teasing.
"Little Tang'er, don't forget, you haven't delivered on the reward you promised me yet."

Shen Tang blushed slightly, knowing exactly what he was talking about. She untied the restless fox tail and said coquettishly, "Stop being cheeky and get to work."

Seeing her blush, Shen Li smiled and smiled, his fox-like eyes curving like crescent moons, exuding a charming and cunning aura.

Fearing that she would be entangled by this alluring Daji and do something else, Shen Tang thought, "A woman must dare to say no to temptation!" and fled from the kitchen.

As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Xue Yinzhou.

My head hit his chest; it felt quite solid.

Xue Yinzhou quickly helped her up, glanced at the kitchen, then casually looked away and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Shen Tang grabbed his hand and walked out, saying, "I was just about to come find you!"

The man's hands were long and slightly cool, like jade, and felt chilly to the touch in winter. The woman's hands, however, were soft and warm, like a campfire burning in winter, drawing one closer. Xue Yinzhou glanced down at their clasped hands, his hardened heart softening, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Hmm? What do you want?"

She exclaimed excitedly, "Help me prepare the hot pot broth!"

Xue Yinzhou raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Shen Tang felt a little guilty as she spoke, recalling how their relationship had been strained during their last hot pot meal. Xue Yinzhou wasn't even qualified to sit at the table, and she didn't know his tastes. She thought this was a good opportunity to test him and avoid upsetting him.

Otherwise, given the snake's personality, even if it doesn't like to eat, it certainly won't say so; it will just keep it to itself.

She specially set up a large pot in the yard to make soup base.

It's too cold in winter, and Shen Tang wants to eat something warming up, so she first prepares a spicy and numbing hot pot base.

She scooped up a small spoonful of soup and handed it to Xue Yinzhou, saying, "Try it and see how it tastes. Is it too spicy?"

When Xue Yinzhou smelled the pungent odor, he frowned slightly, dipped his forked tongue in it, and then withdrew it. His handsome face turned red, and he coughed several times.

Shen Tang quickly handed him a bottle of water, "Drink some water to calm down. It seems you don't like spicy food either."

I don't know if it's because the orcs have a very sensitive sense of taste, or if they've never eaten spicy food before, but none of the orc husbands in the family like spicy food, only she does.

Shen Tang suddenly felt a sense of desolation, as if she had no kindred spirits in the world.

Spicy and numbing flavors are the ultimate delicacy!
Xue Yinzhou stared down at the half-pot of bubbling, fiery red oil, the burning sting on his tongue still vivid in his mind. Doubt settled in his heart: How could Tangtang like this? Is it really not poisonous? Is it really okay to eat it?

Shen Tang scooped a spoonful of broth and put it in her mouth. Xue Yinzhou almost wanted to stop her, but seeing that she squinted her eyes with deliciousness after drinking it, looking like she wanted more, he didn't say anything more.

Jialan and Xueyinzhou both have light palates. They usually like to eat sashimi raw and don't like to eat cooked food with too many seasonings.

The tastes of ordinary people are still a bit too strong for them.

Shen Tang decided to make a simple clear broth base and a tomato broth base.

After she finished simmering the hot pot broth, she had Xue Yinzhou wash the pot clean, added half a pot of water, washed the leftover meat bones that Lu Xiao had processed, cut them into pieces, put them into the pot, added some seasonings, brought it to a boil over high heat, skimmed off the foam, and then took them out for later use.

Seeing that Shen Tang was working hard, Xue Yinzhou flicked its tail and wrapped its tail around her waist, moving her outwards. "Let me do it."

He watched from the side and figured out what to do.

"Okay." Shen Tang handed him the soup spoon and then turned around to kiss him on the cheek.

Xue Yinzhou's breath caught in his throat.

His pupils contracted, his Adam's apple bobbed violently, he reached out and pulled her waist into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her even more deeply.

Shen Tang stared in astonishment, her face flushed, but she did not resist.

He kissed her as much as he wanted.

"Tangtang, I'm back!"

Xiao Jin, carrying a two- or three-month-old lamb in his mouth, ran excitedly back to the yard, only to find the two of them kissing.
