Chapter 596: Hot Pot Must Be Spicy! (3)
“Didn’t think about the morning rush in Jingdu, did we? But nevermind. Once we’re back in Fog City, we’ll indulge in a hotpot feast to make up for it. Gotta treat Miss Jiang right,” Zhou Chao joked with a light tone.
“You’re the one who suggested it, don’t go back on your word!” Tired of the bland meals at home, Jiang Li perked up at the mention of hotpot.
“Absolutely!”
Jiang Li was now over three months pregnant, so spicy food like hotpot didn’t affect her much.
The two of them entered the airport with laughter and jokes, followed closely by their four bodyguards, attracting quite a few stares until they disappeared into the express lane.
Two hours later, they successfully landed at the Fog City Jiangbei Airport and boarded two waiting cars, heading straight for Fuzhou.
“We were supposed to have hotpot for lunch, why are we heading back to Fuzhou directly?” Jiang Li pouted, looking at Zhou Chao with some frustration.
Zhou Chao replied earnestly, “Having it at home is just as good. Trust me, I’m a Fog City native!”
After staring at Zhou Chao for a while, Jiang Li seemed to realize something and smiled, “Okay, it’s not just me who’s being mistreated.”
Then she murmured to her belly, “Baby, it’s not that Mommy won’t give you good food, it’s Daddy who won’t let you have any. It’s all Daddy’s fault, don’t blame Mommy!”
Hearing this, Zhou Chao felt like he was covered in black lines, even the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhou Chao glanced at the bodyguard in front, his eyes conveying a chill that made the bodyguard sit up straight in fear.
He gently patted Jiang Li’s hand, “Alright, we’ll find the best hotpot in Fuzhou when we get there.”
Suppressing a smile, Jiang Li nodded, and Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly. He had to make good on his promise.
Zhou Chao then turned his gaze to the bodyguard in the passenger seat, “Xiao Liu, find us a great hotpot place. We’ll head there as soon as we arrive in Fuzhou. And let the lead car know.”
The bodyguard in the passenger seat was none other than the one who had carried the luggage earlier, named Liu Jie. Zhou Chao had only learned his name on the plane.
“Got it, boss!” Xiao Liu replied, taking out his phone to look it up.
By the time they arrived in Fuzhou, it was already past one in the afternoon. Following Xiao Liu’s recommendation for the best hotpot place he found online, they headed straight to the restaurant.
“Southern Duck Intestine King!” Zhou Chao glanced at the sign and led Jiang Li and the others inside.
Perhaps because they arrived late, there were only a few tables still occupied in the restaurant.
Smelling the fragrance wafting from the dishes, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with excitement.
Seeing Jiang Li, who loved to eat, Zhou Chao promptly called the waiter to bring the food. He ordered one of everything on the menu, opting for a mildly spicy broth in case Jiang Li wasn’t used to it. He also invited the accompanying bodyguards to join them, as hotpot was best enjoyed with a crowd!
As dish after dish was presented before them, Jiang Li, who couldn’t contain her excitement, saw that the soup base in the pot was boiling and began to cook a few goose intestines.
As soon as the intestines were cooked, she couldn’t resist taking a bite, exclaiming, “Wow, it’s spicy and delicious!”
For a moment, Jiang Li was both thrilled and delighted by the spiciness..
