What did Yang Yi want to do?
Yang Yi wanted to eat Shuan Yang Rou.
Shuan Yang Rou is different from hotpot; each has its own characteristics and its own followers. As for which one Yang Yi preferred, he couldn't really say—he loved them both.
But the base broth for Shuan Yang Rou was easy to make; Yang Yi couldn't handle the spicy hotpot base at all, so Shuan Yang Rou was the only option.
In a small supermarket run by Chinese, Yang Yi found sesame paste and also got some lamb, which was fresh rather than sliced. But as long as his knife skills were up to par, fresh lamb was even better than frozen slices.
Next were various vegetables. As for common hotpot ingredients like fish balls, duck intestines, or tripes, they were nowhere to be found. Not that Yang Yi didn't want to buy them; he simply couldn't find them.
Shopping for these ingredients took over an hour, and by the time Yang Yi got home, Mike and the others couldn't wait any longer.
