The next day, after she had ordered the Mandarin Duck Pot to be made at the blacksmith shop, she went to the market to look for all kinds of meat.
Although the price was a little high, she still managed to buy some fresh and tender beef in the West District. Zhou Ying then bought some beef hind and neck, a set of beef offal, and two pieces of beef lard.
As for fish and prawns, they were cheap, so she also bought some.
After returning home, she froze the beef and brought the other ingredients to the kitchen. She called Biaozi and Haitang over to make beef, fish, and shrimp balls with them.
Next, Zhou Ying taught Biaozi the stir-frying hotpot seasoning and dipping sauce recipe.
Finally, she added some dried sweet potatoes and a small amount of radish to make a big pot of spicy beef soup.
Later, she asked Biaozi and the others to make some flatbread, and dinner was ready.
