In the Mandarin Duck Hot Pot, red and white broths are bubbling, steaming with vapor, accompanied by lamb rolls, fatty beef rolls, golden needle mushrooms, luncheon meat, fried tofu skins, seaweed knots, frozen doufu... plated on bowls and dishes, filling two tables completely—Granny's two dining tables were pushed together.
On a cold winter night, such a table of delicious food definitely stimulates the taste buds, as a few people busy themselves with the preparations, unable to resist secretly swallowing their saliva.
The old Granny, having never seen such a display, stretches her neck long, staring at the bubbling broth, swallowing her saliva while clicking her tongue: "Just cook and eat?"
"Granny, this is called eating by dipping." Ying Nuo explained, placing a small bowl of sesame sauce in front of Granny, "I'll place the food on Granny's plate, and Granny can dip it in the sauce to eat—it's delicious."
