Chen Fei and the others returned surprisingly fast. They had left at nine-thirty and were back by eleven-thirty, the round trip taking only two hours.
To put that in perspective, it usually took nearly an hour to return from the lamb hot pot restaurant Su Chen liked. For them to be so quick in today's heavy snow, it just showed how fast they must have been driving.
In Aunt Tang's skilled hands, a fresh Wuzhumuqin sheep was quickly stripped down to the bone.
Since the weather was already cold, the rolled lamb was ready to be sliced after just half an hour of setting.
They sliced fifteen full plates, each one piled high with meat. Su Chen, Jiang Hui, and the other two, along with Aunt Tang, started their own family-style lamb hot pot feast.
Dipping the freshly cooked lamb in sauce and taking a bite brought immense satisfaction.
"Mmm, good food really warms the heart," Su Chen said with a sigh of contentment.
Seeing this, the others also dug in.
