A hearty hot pot meal.
After eating, everyone remembered to ask Ye Luoxin.
"Sister-in-law, this hot pot is so delicious! How did you come up with it? Why do you feel like this is not the first time you have eaten this?"
Xiao Jing was the first to speak.
Ye Luoxin covered it up: "My mother made it several times when I was a child, and I just made it according to the taste in my memory."
"Your mother is so amazing!" Xiao Jing said with admiration on his face.
But when he thought that Ye Luoxin's mother was no longer in the world, he swallowed the following words again.
Doctor Pei picked his teeth with a wooden stick and said, "I have been traveling all over the country for decades, but I have never heard of this kind of practice. Where is your mother from?"
"My mother is from the capital." Ye Luoxin replied.
"Is your mother from the capital?" Pei Shu was very surprised by this. "But I have lived in Beijing for several years and I have never seen such a way of eating."
"My mother likes to study food. Maybe this is what my mother came up with on her own." Ye Luoxin said vaguely.
"Luo Xin!"
Xu Zhengxiang also said, "The cabbage I was eating just now is delicious when cooked. If I want to cook wild celery or spinach in the pot, is that okay?"
"Of course." Ye Luoxin said: "Hot pot can cook all kinds of things, as long as it is what mom likes to eat. I remember when I was a child, my parents' favorite things to cook were actually beef and mutton, sliced thinly. Then dipped in the specially prepared sauce, it’s very delicious.”
When she said this, everyone's newly full stomachs seemed to be hungry again.
"Then let's have another meal tomorrow, beef hot pot with a lot of beef." Xiao Jing suggested.
"Beef beef, I think you look like beef!"
Xu Zhengxiang was dissatisfied, "We have ready-made rabbit meat and chicken at home, but you still want to eat beef, so why don't you spend money to buy it?"
"We can trade rabbits for it!"
Xiao Jing said: "Our family now has eighty-six rabbits."
"Your sister-in-law raising so many rabbits must be of great use. Don't worry about it!" Xu Zhengxiang knocked him on the head.
"Mom, you hit me on the head again. If you continue to hit me, I will become a fool. Sister-in-law, please judge me!" Xiao Jing rubbed his head with his hand and looked at Ye Luoxin aggrievedly.
When Pei Shu heard this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "If you don't fight, you won't be smart at all!"
"Miracle Doctor Pei! If you keep making sarcastic remarks, I won't accompany you to the academy tomorrow. Erdan and the others are waiting to go with me every day!" Xiao Jing also lost his temper.
"If you don't want to accompany me, I won't accompany you. It's not like I don't know the way!" Doctor Pei didn't care.
After saying that, he looked at Xu Zhengxiang and said: "This head can't be hit all the time. If the attack is not serious, you will be even stupider than you are now."
Xu Zhengxiang heard that Pei Shu was speaking for Xiao Jing, and quickly responded: "Now that I know about Dr. Pei, I won't hit him on the head in the future."
Pei Shu turned to look at Xiao Jing and touched his beard proudly.
Ye Luoxin also said at this time: "If you want to eat beef hot pot, just wait until your second brother goes to the market and ask him to buy it back. As for our rabbits, it is indeed useful for me to raise them."
Why don't we have hot pot tomorrow night, and I'll make braised rabbit for everyone to eat. "
As soon as he heard that he was going to eat braised pork, Xiao Jing immediately stopped mentioning the beef hot pot.
"Sister-in-law, is braised rabbit meat better than chicken?"
"Rabbit meat is fresh and tender. The rabbits we raise at home are more tender than the meat brought from the mountains. It tastes different from chicken and pork. You will know after you taste it tomorrow."
While he was talking, the chestnuts buried under the charcoal ashes of the clay oven suddenly exploded with a "pop" sound.
Xu Zhengxiang quickly took the tongs, took out the roasted chestnuts, and gave two to each person.
The chestnut shell has become burnt black, but the chestnut inside is soft, waxy and very sweet.
Xiao Mu was afraid that Ye Luoxin would burn her hands, so she brought all four chestnuts in front of her.
He peeled off the shell, put the chestnut flesh to his mouth and blew on it before handing it to Ye Luoxin.
Xu Zhengxiang saw it and elbowed Xiao Changhe.
Xiao Changhe turned his head to the side and pretended not to see it.
"Ahem!" Xu Zhengxiang coughed twice more.
Xiao Changhe finally turned around helplessly, picked up the chestnuts, peeled them carefully, and then handed them to Xu Zhengxiang.
Pei Shu had sharp eyes and saw all the interactions between the four people, old and young. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the chestnuts in his hand no longer tasted good.
"It's getting late, I'll go back to bed." He stood up and left.
Xiao Jing also stood up: "I'm going back to read too."
The remaining people finished eating the chestnuts, cleaned the yard, and then returned to their rooms.
Xiao Mu took a bath first.
When Ye Luoxin came out of the shower, he was already lying on the bed waiting for her.
After a day of climbing, Xiao Mu helped Ye Luoxin relax her legs.
But as he squeezed it, the movements of his hands changed.
Ye Luoxin blushed with embarrassment.
She pulled the thin quilt over and covered her eyes.
