A steaming pot of lamb spine hotpot was served on the table, and Xia Lu rubbed her little hands, eager to try it.
"Is this... a scorpion?" Ye Shaotang stared at the pot for a long time before slowly asking this question.
"It's lamb spine, not scorpions," Xia Lu looked at him and burst into laughter, "You can't possibly be eating this for the first time, can you?"
Ye Shaotang nodded, "Indeed, it's my first time." Not to mention eating, it was the first time he had ever seen it.
"Lamb spine might be called 'spine,' but it's not the poisonous insect you're imagining. In plain terms, it's just the lamb's spine. The name is just a name," Xia Lu explained. She reached out to pick the largest piece and placed it in his plate, "Try it."
Looking at such a large piece of meaty bone in front of him, Ye Shaotang didn't quite know how to begin eating it.
