And there’s a lot to gain.
Six pheasants, a wild goat, and each man held a living hare in his arms.
Patriarch Zhou followed Mo Jiuye out to check the situation and saw so many prey in front of him.
The old man rubbed his eyes vigorously in disbelief.
He has lived here all his life, so he naturally knows that there are prey in the mountains.
The hunters in the village gathered together in a planned way to go up the mountain, staying there for several days.
Even so, it seems that the game hunted back is not as much as others can get in one day.
Patriarch Zhou is envious. He envies the Mo family so much.
With such good skills, even if they are like them and remain country folk for the rest of their lives, the Mo family will never worry about food and drink in the future.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the prey, especially the hares held in the arms of several people, which made people unable to take their eyes away.
Mo Hanyue couldn't resist this cute species. At this moment, the little girl was already smiling with her eyebrows curled up.
"Brother Liang Hao, you are so awesome, you caught so many little rabbits."
Liang Hao smiled naively: "Miss likes it, so we will find a way to catch more."
Mo Hanyue pointed to an empty room to the west, which Mo Hanyue had already used as a place to raise rice balls and the little white rabbit just now.
"Brothers, please put the hare there first."
The door opened, and Fantuan'er walked toward the group of people with bared teeth.
It's like a door god. As long as you dare to get close, I will bite you.
Liang Hao and others all knew that this black and white dumpling was Madam Ninth's treasure, so they naturally had to pamper it.
Liang Hao took the lead in making a gesture of surrender: "Little ancestor, please don't bite me, we promise not to go in."
Mo Hanyue ran over funny and carried the rice ball into the room.
"Fantuan'er, they are all family members, please don't be so cruel, okay?"
Facing Mo Hanyue, Fan Tuan'er could only manage not to reject him, and did not have the same good attitude towards He Zhiran.
With his little butt raised, he slid off Mo Hanyue's body and walked away swaggeringly.
This can be regarded as acquiescing to Mo Hanyue's words.
While everyone was feeling amused, they placed a few rabbits in the house before closing the door and leaving.
When Mo Jiuye saw Bage coming back, he asked him to go inside the house to talk to Patriarch Zhou, and he went to ask Patriarch Zhao to come over.
As soon as they reached the gate, the Zhou family once again brought a large round table, a few chairs, and two charcoal stoves.
Everything was ready and all it took was the east wind, and it was time for He Zhiran to appear.
She directed the confused family members to place the two charcoal stoves in the middle of the two tables, and then fetched two large copper basins from the kitchen that she had purchased on the way to exile.
While filling the copper basin with water, she also added the red oil hot pot base she bought on Taobao.com.
At this time, Mo Jiuye, who had gone out to invite people, also came back.
In addition to the head of the Zhao family, he was followed by Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou.
The fifth sister-in-law also helped the fifth brother over.
Everyone was at a loss when they saw the red-hot charcoal stove and copper basin placed on the table.
Especially a few outsiders.
The Mo family was polite and invited them to dinner, but what kind of way was it to use charcoal fire to boil water on the table?
Especially the two clan leaders, Zhao and Zhou, didn't know why and were too embarrassed to ask. They just thought it was a fresh way to eat it from the wealthy families in the capital.
If they asked, they would look like country bumpkins who have never seen the world...
In the end, it was Xie Tianhai who spoke up and asked what everyone thought.
"Jiuye, what are you asking us to eat?"
Mo Jiuye smiled.
"Uncle Xie, this is a new way of eating that my wife has figured out. It's called hot pot."
As soon as he finished speaking, he made arrangements for everyone to take their seats. There was a table for men and a table for women. This distribution of seats was just right.
As soon as everyone sat down with confused faces, He Zhiran and a group of female family members brought the ingredients one after another.
When they saw these ingredients, they were even more confused.
Before anyone could ask, He Zhiran introduced:
"Everyone, this is a new way of eating that I learned in the book. Put the ingredients in a copper basin and cook them, and eat them while cooking."
While talking, the water containing the red oil hot pot base in the copper basin was boiling, and the spicy and fragrant smell filled the whole room.
After hearing He Zhiran's explanation and the tempting smell wafting from the pot, some people could no longer restrain their eagerness to try it and picked up the chopsticks in front of them.
I picked up the chopsticks, but I was still a little confused on how to eat this hot pot until I saw someone demonstrating it with my own eyes.
Therefore, everyone could only look at Mo Jiuye eagerly.
In fact, it was the first time for Mo Jiuye to see this new way of eating. However, as the host, he had to 'take the lead'.
So he put some of the various ingredients into the copper basin.
He Zhiran also prepared the dipping sauce and distributed it to everyone in a timely manner.
Seeing that the water in the copper basin was boiling again, she reminded: "It's ready to eat. Just dip it in some of the seasonings in the bowl."
Everyone put some ingredients into bowls according to the method He Zhiran said, dipped them in the sesame sauce and ate them.
Dashun does not yet have pepper crops, and the throat-choking smell in their mouths made several people cough uncontrollably.
After coughing, a fresh and rich alluring taste lingers in the mouth for a long time, making people feel like they are getting braver as they fight.
Immediately afterwards, everyone once again put the ingredients cooked in the copper pot into bowls and ate happily.
Mo Chuhan kept nodding and praising: "I wonder what seasonings the nine brothers and sisters put in the soup, but it turns out to be so delicious. It's really addictive."
Fang Chuanzhou also echoed: "Yes, I have eaten all kinds of delicious food in the capital for so many years, but nothing is as satisfying as today's hot pot."
Xie Tianhai also smiled and said: "It's so delicious, it would be even better if it is accompanied by wine."
Speaking of wine, He Zhiran was really careless today. She prepared so many delicious foods, but she forgot about the wine.
The contents of the mule cart have been completely emptied. If she conjures wine at this time, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Therefore, I can only leave you with a little regret today.
Seeing that everyone had learned how to eat hot pot, He Zhiran called a few sisters-in-law to join them and brought out the garlic steamed lobster and spicy shrimps prepared in the kitchen.
Patriarch Zhou was a little better. He had already heard Mo Jiuye talk about this when he came over to deliver charcoal.
Patriarch Zhao was different. He asked in surprise: "Old ninth wife, what are you?"
The ingredients for this hot pot are so good, and it seems like you, the Mo family, don't seem to be short of money, so why would you eat such a mouth-piercing thing?
Out of politeness, Patriarch Zhao also thought about the next words in his mind.
He Zhiran did not explain, but asked Mo Jiuye to ask everyone to pick up some to taste.
She wants to use facts to prove that these seafoods that you don't think are good things are delicious in her hands.
This was indeed the case. Out of shame, everyone took a bite of the seafood that Mo Jiuye gave them. The result was just as He Zhiran thought, it was so addictive.
