Chapter 81: In a Dilemma
Cheng Songer also tried it, but it wasn't as spicy as modern hot pot. However, for ancient people who had never tasted it before, it was spicy enough. If it was excessively spicy, it would be unbearable and not suitable for the general public's taste. 
After preparing the base ingredients, the next thing to consider was the raw materials for the ingredients. The influence of the famine gradually faded away, and she needed to find suppliers. Duck intestines, duck blood, duck tongue, beef tripe, and chicken gizzards all needed to be prepared. 
After finishing the meal, Cheng Qingzhi's face turned red, continuously drinking water to relieve the spiciness. His thin pale lips turned into a bright red color, with water droplets clinging to them like dewdrops on a red rose. Tears were also brought out by the spiciness, shimmering in his eyes, making him look beautiful in an instant. 
Cheng Songer wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Look at you, sweating all over from eating."
Seeing that his cup was already empty, Cheng Songer got up to pour him some water. The teapot was right beside them, filled with cooled boiled water. 
She poured a full cup and placed it in front of Cheng Qingzhi. 
Cheng Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, preparing to drink. 
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhi suddenly said, "Brother Qingzhi, you can't drink cold water."
Cheng Songer asked in confusion, "Why? Is Qingzhi sick?"
Xiao Zhi shook her head and said, "No, my father told me before that boys shouldn't drink cold water."
"Why?" Cheng Songer curiously asked, as it was the first time she had heard of such a saying. 
Xiao Zhi blinked her eyes and said, "Because drinking cold water is not good for the body and can affect fertility in the future."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Cheng Songer choked on the water and started coughing violently. 
Cheng Qingzhi blushed and patted her back, lowering his head to Xiao Zhi and said, "It's not that serious."
"Well, that's what my father told me. He also said that it's best for men to avoid even touching cold water, as it can weaken the body and affect fertility. Brother Qingzhi, weren't you drinking warm water just now? There should still be warm tea in the teacup inside. Let me pour it for you." Xiao Zhi hurriedly ran off. 
"So, the water you drank while eating hot pot was warm water?" Cheng Songer exclaimed in surprise. 
Cheng Qingzhi nodded. 
"No wonder you're sweating so much after eating. Who drinks hot water while eating hot pot? That would make it even spicier. . . Um, actually, I heard that having a cold uterus has nothing to do with drinking cold water." Cheng Songer said. 
"Hmm." Cheng Qingzhi lowered his head and hesitated before responding, "I know, I'm just worried about my body. . ." 
During his childhood, he experienced many things. Besides feeling uncomfortable from having a cold stomach, he didn't think much of it. 
At that time, he had no expectations for the future, so he never paid attention to his own body. 
But since meeting Cheng Songer, he began to have expectations for the future. He had never longed for a future with children as much as he did now. 
So after their lives improved, he started paying extra attention to his diet, hoping to make up for the deficiencies caused by the abuse he suffered in his childhood.
