After the meal, they returned and shared with Nanzhi about what they had observed at the Hot Pot Building.
Especially Xu Chou, who explicitly recounted the various spices used in the base of the hot pot.
Listening as he rattled off the names of the spices, Nanzhi quickly stopped him mid-sentence.
"Master Xu, there's no need to go into that level forthwith."
"No need to say it?" Xu Chou was taken aback, somewhat surprised.
He had assumed that the reason the owner had sent them was to gather this sort of information.
The hot pot seemed complex, but the flavors of the spices within were easy to distinguish.
If he was asked to recreate it at this moment, he believed he could come close.
"No need, each family has their own method. It is better not to meddle in it."
Nanzhi waved her hand dismissively, unbothered.
"Eh." Xu Chou complied without another word. He simply sat by the side quietly.
