The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 154

[Chapter 154: The Charm of Hot Pot]

Lin Tian took a look and immediately ignored Lin Kang and hurried out of the kitchen.

Seeing the hot pot in Mo Di’s hand, Lin Tian nodded in approval.

“It seems that you are a genuine descendant of the Mohist School.”

Lin Tian said, taking the hot pot from him.

This is more exquisite than the modern hot pot, perhaps because it is purely handmade.

But more importantly, it is because Mo Di’s craftsmanship is great, after all, he is also a descendant of the Mohist School.

“Uh, hehe, as long as the master is satisfied!”

Mo Di scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a silly smile.

He was indeed immersed in the sadness of his father’s death, and even forgot a lot of his housekeeping skills.

“This young master really thought you were a freeloader!” Lin Tian sarcastically said that he still had a use for this descendant of the Mohist School.

Originally, the code was just a chance, after all, he had read too many novels and TV dramas of this kind in modern times.

“Master, why are you sitting on this thing? Why is there a bar in the middle?”

Lin Kang poked his head out in confusion. He didn’t want to drink the bone soup now.

“You will know tomorrow. Come with me to help!”

Lin Tian said, looking at the sky now. It was not too early or too late.

Just in time to clean up the table!

The two looked at each other, not knowing what Lin Tian was talking about, so they could only follow him obediently.

Lin Tian came to the woodshed, where some objects from the house before were piled up, all of which were simple furniture that was already a little old.

“Master, what are you doing here? It’s a mess!”

Mo Di kicked the chair next to him with some disdain. The chair was missing a leg and was kicked down by him.

“Can it be as messy as yours?”

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and after a quick glance at the woodshed, he found what he wanted.

A large round table that can accommodate ten people.

This round table is indeed a little shabby, but the wood is still very solid and can be used.

“Move this big thing out for me!”

Lin Tian directed Mo Di and Lin Kang. Although the two didn’t know what Lin Tian was going to do, they still moved the things out obediently.

After putting the things in the yard, Lin Tian gestured the size of the hot pot in his hand and drew a shape in the center of the table.

“You two dig out the middle tonight. I have something to do tomorrow, so I’m going to go back and rest first!”

Lin Tian yawned and said, it was not difficult to dig a hole in the center of the table.

So he didn’t plan to do it himself.

Mo Di and Lin Kang were full of doubts, but seeing Lin Tian’s unfathomable look, they knew that they couldn’t get anything out of him. It

took them about a quarter of an hour to fix the table.

The next morning, Lin Tian started to get busy and asked people to go to the street to buy some fresh seasonal vegetables and beef and mutton.

“Master, let me do it!”

A maid said, looking at the way Lin Tian swung the knife, she was a little worried that he would hurt himself.

“No, this young master can handle this banquet today, you guys go and take a rest!”

Lin Tian waved his hand nonchalantly.

This ancient knife is really heavy, and it is not very convenient compared to modern lightweight kitchen knives.

He simply processed the meat and asked someone to chop up some dried chili peppers and peppercorns and keep them for him.

It was already the chosen auspicious time, and big red lanterns had been hung outside the Lin Mansion. Lin Zuhua also specially asked someone to buy two strings of firecrackers and invited a small music band.

“Where did this Lin Mansion come from?”

“It looks like a wealthy family, but I haven’t heard of it. What big shot has come to the capital recently?”

“Is it a hidden family?” “

In my opinion, it should be a merchant family!”

“Stop talking, stop talking, the door is open!”

The people who love to watch the excitement have already spontaneously formed a small semicircle outside, all wanting to see who bought this big house.

“Today is the happy day of my Lin Mansion’s new home. I hope the neighbors will take care of me in the future!”

Lin Tian walked out and said with a smile, holding a piece of red silk in his hand.

Although Lin Zuhua’s appearance has changed compared to more than 20 years ago, it is still not convenient for him to show up in public, so the housewarming ceremony was still done by Lin Tian.

But Lin Tian was not the kind of person who liked lavish celebrations.

“Distribute these to everyone!”

Lin Tian handed a brocade bag to the servant next to him, and asked him to distribute the copper coins inside to the onlookers.

Everyone could get a copper coin. Although it was not much, everyone was happy to get money just for watching the fun.

After distributing it around, the auspicious time arrived.

“Bang——”

“Clatter——”

Lin Tian pulled down the red silk, and the two big characters of “Lin Mansion” on it were revealed in front of everyone.

This was the handwriting of Lin Zuhua.

After taking off the sign, Lin Tian said a few more festive words, and then took people back to the inner courtyard.

They had just arrived in the capital, and they didn’t have many friends, let alone acquaintances.

If they held a big banquet, they didn’t know who to invite.

So they simply changed it to a family banquet.

“You are in great shape today!”

Xu Wenxuan came in with a brocade box. He had already heard the people’s discussions about the Lin Mansion outside.

“This young master’s housewarming celebration must be grand! Let me see what gifts you brought for me!”

Lin Tian turned around and saw Xu Wenxuan coming. He was happy and said with a smile.

Xu Wenxuan smiled and shook his head, and handed the brocade box in his hand to Lin Kang next to him.

“What’s the matter? A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. It’s your turn to cook today. The Lin Mansion is so poor that it can’t afford a cook?”

Seeing the dishes in Lin Tian’s hand, Xu Wenxuan raised his eyebrows.

“This is called elegance! Wait outside first, we can eat soon!”

Lin Tian waved at him, and simply processed the vegetables in his hand and put them on the plate.

He used the leftover butter from yesterday to make a spicy hot pot with butter. The broth from last night was also rich and fragrant, and could be placed on the other side.

Soon he took a small stool and put it on the stove and threw it under the table, and the hot pot that Mo Di had made was already placed in the hole of the table.

“These things are not cooked, how can we eat them?”

“Yes, young master, you can’t cook them, right?”

“Tian’er, what are you doing…”

Everyone saw that Lin Tian had put up such a big show, but all of them were raw food, and they were immediately confused.

“Just throw what you like into the pot, this side is spicy, and this side is not spicy!”

Lin Tian waved his hand with pride, and the temperature gradually rose, and the pots on both sides began to boil.

The aroma drifted out, and Lin Tian immediately put in a few slices of beef.

“Try this dip!”

Lin Tian demonstrated the operation to them while dipping the cooked beef in his special sauce and putting it into his mouth.

It smells good!
