The world was silent, and the snow fell without a sound.
The cold winter days pair best with hot pot.
In the Great Tang, hot pot was called "warming pot" and was favored by many famous people, with countless poems written about it.
Lin Wanwan, accompanied by little Qingyu and Xiao Yixun, sat around a large round table specially crafted by Lin Wanwan, joined by Xiao Chong and Dugu Di. In the center was the warming pot, with smokeless high-grade charcoal burning underneath, surrounded by all sorts of hot pot ingredients ready to be cooked.
There were beef rolls, lamb rolls, donkey meat slices, venison slices, fish slices, shrimp, mantis shrimp, shrimp paste, frozen tofu, greens, cabbage, radish slices, and potato slices. Lin Wanwan's place might not have much of anything else, but it certainly had plenty of good food.
The base was a tomato soup, with a few pepper grains added in, a true delicacy in the Great Tang.
