Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 299: Dogs don’t leave their dens, they eat hot pot

Xiaoyu listened and explained with a smile: "It's so cold out here, it's already huddled in its den and won't come out. It's probably curled up in a ball to keep warm right now, so it doesn't have time to care about our hot pot."

Li Hao also laughed: "Yes, this dog is smart. He knows that when it's cold, it's comfortable to hide. Unlike us, we have to join in the heat and eat hot pot to feel comfortable."

Cheng Chumo jokingly said, "Perhaps it's just craving this fragrance and can't bear to leave its warm nest, so it's struggling."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again. They imagined the dog in the kennel looking at this side longingly, but reluctant to leave the warm place. They found it more and more funny, and laughter echoed in the house.

Yuyu stood up from her seat and said seriously, "I'm going to make hot pot for the dog. I just saved some ingredients. It's such a delicious meal, it can't be left out for the dog."

As he spoke, he picked up a plate with some remaining ingredients on it and walked towards where the coal stove and hot pot were placed.

Xiaoyu smiled and warned, "Be careful, don't get burned. The dog is probably waiting for you to come over right now."

Li Hao also said: "That's right, this dog is so lucky, we can also taste this novel hot pot flavor."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao watched from the side, their eyes full of smiles. Cheng Chumo joked, "This dog is probably the happiest dog in Chang'an. It can eat such delicious hot pot. Once it tastes it, I'm afraid it will look down on other food in the future."

Yuyu ignored their teasing and put the remaining meat slices and vegetables into the pot one by one. He waited patiently for the ingredients to be cooked, muttering to himself, "Good boy, we can eat it soon. It's so delicious."

Yuyu stood by the hot pot, staring at the ingredients in the pot without blinking. After the ingredients were cooked through in the boiling broth, she carefully fished them out and placed them on a clean small plate, muttering to herself, "Okay, it's ready now."

Then, Yu Yu took the plate and walked quickly to the doghouse and the place where the cat was basking in the sun outside.

I saw the Husky lying lazily in the nest. When he saw Yu Yu coming, he came over wagging his tail.

The two local dogs also ran forward happily, circling around Yu Yu, and making "woohoo" sounds from time to time, as if urging her to come.

The Pomeranian, Bichon Frise and Corgi also ran over, each with their big round eyes looking at the plate in Yu Yu's hand with anticipation.

Even the calico cat next to it took graceful steps and meowed as it came over, as if it also wanted to taste the hot pot.

Yuyu smiled and distributed the food on the plate to them, saying as she did so, "Don't worry, everyone has a share. This hot pot is really delicious today, you should try it too."

The Husky couldn't wait to bite a piece of meat and chew it so happily. The two local dogs also scrambled to eat it, shaking their heads while eating.

The Pomeranian, Bichon Frise and Corgi were more polite, eating in small bites until their eyes were squinted.

The calico cat was not to be outdone. It stretched out its paw to fiddle with the food, then took a lick. It looked so comfortable.

Yu Yu watched them eating happily and her heart was filled with joy. She stood aside and smiled. The backyard of the tavern became warmer and more interesting in this winter.

Xiaoyu looked over and asked: "Have they eaten yet?"

Yuyu moved aside a little: "They are very happy."

Xiaoyu heard Yuyu's answer and walked over with a smile. She looked at the group of small animals who were eating happily and said, "That's good. Look how happy they are eating. It seems that even they think this hot pot is delicious."

Yuyu kept nodding beside him, her eyes full of smiles: "Yes, Mom, look at them, they are all shaking their heads while eating. I guess they have never tasted such delicious food before. It's really rare."

At this time, the Husky was holding a piece of vegetable in its mouth, chewing and whimpering, as if responding to their words. The two local dogs had their mouths full of food, and they did not forget to squeeze each other and compete to get their hands on the plate.

The Pomeranian, Bichon Frise and Corgi were also very satisfied with their food, and their fur was trembling. As for the calico cat, after finishing its own portion, it licked its paws, then went to the plate and meowed, as if it wanted to eat some more.

Xiaoyu looked at this interesting scene and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, this scene is really interesting. Our hot pot has conquered them all."

Cheng Chumo laughed heartily as he walked forward, looking at the dogs and cats happily eating around the food. He said to Qin Huaidao, "Haha, who says dogs don't leave their kennels? They're all running faster than anyone else when there's hot pot. They're all so greedy."

Qin Huaidao also laughed and agreed, "Indeed, the allure of this hot pot is truly immense. Even these creatures, who usually hide in their dens to avoid the cold, couldn't resist the temptation and came out. It seems no one can resist this delicious food."

Li Hao also came over and joked, "Of course not. If we eat hot pot every day, they will probably stay here every day, just waiting for the meal. By then, I'm afraid we won't be able to drive them away even if we shout."

Everyone burst into laughter again, and the laughter echoed in the courtyard.

The little animals didn't care what they were laughing at and continued to eat.

Cheng Chumo patted his stomach, stood up, and said to everyone, "We've been here for quite a while. We have to go back to the front to guard it, just in case any diners come."

Qin Huaidao also stood up and nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are here to guard Zuixianlou, so we can't slack off. We enjoyed the hot pot today, let's get together again some other day if there is a chance."

Yuyu quickly said, "Then go quickly. Come and try this hot pot often when you have time."

Xiaoyu also smiled and reminded: "Be careful, it's cold, don't catch a cold."

Li Hao followed up, "See you later. If you have any problems, feel free to come find us."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao agreed with a smile, then turned and walked towards the front yard of Zuixian Tower.

The dogs were also full of food at this time. The Husky stuck out its tongue and panted heavily, as if it had eaten too much and was digesting the food.

The two local dogs lay on the ground with their bellies almost touching the ground, their eyes half-closed, looking lazy and contented.

The Pomeranian, Bichon Frise and Corgi also found a comfortable place to lie down, licking their lips from time to time, savoring the taste of the hot pot. They looked very full and comfortable.

Looking at their appearance, Yuyu walked over with a smile, gently touched their heads, and said jokingly: "You guys are just like us, full. Don't be so greedy next time."

The dogs just raised their eyelids and whined twice, as if responding to her, or as if saying that with such delicious food in front of them, how could they resist? This made Yu Yu laugh again.
