Mo Qing's behavior really surprised He Shangshu, and he even misunderstood that the person in front of him had changed his mind.
But seeing my father-in-law busy there and enjoying it so much, what should I do if he really wants to get involved?
As a result, He Shangshu got involved.
He followed Mo Qing's example, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs without any concern for appearance, and started weeding in the greenhouse...
In the evening, He Zhiran personally arranged a banquet for his old father.
In this era, the banquets of the Mo family were much inferior to the palace banquets. Especially since the vegetables were grown in greenhouses at home, He Zhiran did not have to worry about the provenance of these ingredients.
Because of this, the dishes on the Mohist table are as novel as possible.
There is no shortage of all kinds of meat at home, and several batches of adult livestock have been sold in the breeding farm. In the eyes of the Mo family, this is another huge amount of income.
At the reception dinner, He Zhiran specially invited Xie Tianhai, Fang Chuanzhou and Hu Cong to accompany him.
They and their father had both been officials in the same court, so there was no barrier between them and they were quite familiar with each other. Having them talk to He Shangshu would also liven up the atmosphere.
By the way, He Zhiran also wanted to inquire about the recent management situation in the fiefdom and put forward some of his own opinions.
Even though she was just a prostitute, no one looked down upon her.
Especially Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou, who had known He Zhiran's abilities for a long time, were simply impressed by her.
The two even said that if He Zhiran were a man, there would definitely be a place for her in the court.
He Zhiran just let it go and never took it seriously.
It's not that she likes to worry, there's nothing she can do about it, her man goes to battle to kill the enemy, and she has to stay at home to take care of the logistics.
The Jie Feng Banquet in the northwest once again made He Shangshu feel how good this place is. The accommodation is comfortable, the food is delicious, and he can see such a cute pair of little babies every day.
He began to envy Mo Qing, who was also a parent and could enjoy this kind of family happiness several months earlier than him.
Fortunately, the incident caused by the queen's party made him look down on everything. Fortunately, he was not as stubborn as before. Fortunately, he was able to put family ties first. Otherwise, where could he live such a comfortable life in this life?
Of course, he could think this way because when he arrived in the northwest, he heard that the war situation in Mo Jiuye was going well. As long as the barbarian rebellion was quelled, life in the northwest would be comfortable in the future.
…
He Zhiran and the women at home put all the hot pot and ingredients on the table.
She specially invited Tang Mingrui for no other reason than the cold weather, which is the best time for hot pot business.
Moreover, the vegetables in the greenhouse at home and the mutton from the farm need to find regular sales.
Tang Mingrui knew that Sister-in-law Jiu must have new money-making ideas when she sent someone to call him.
Like the Mo family, he had also eaten hot pot. At that time, he thought that if he could open a restaurant like this, he would definitely make a lot of money.
It’s just that Sister-in-law Jiu said at that time that the seasonings and ingredients of hot pot are limited, especially chili, which is the soul of hot pot, so you have to wait.
Arriving at Mo's house today, Tang Mingrui was once again shocked by the food on the table and the special copper pot in the middle.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, is this also hot pot?"
He Zhiran knew that this guy who was thinking about how to make money would ask.
The purpose of inviting him over was to put the opening of the hotpot restaurant on the agenda, so it wouldn't hurt to clarify his doubts now.
"I asked Brother Hu to help make this copper pot a few days ago."
While he was talking, He Zhiran had already arrived at the table, pointing at various parts of the copper pot to help Tang Mingrui introduce its functions.
Tang Mingrui heard that the small lid on the copper pot could also adjust the firepower, and he admired He Zhiran even more.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, brother, I really admire you to the point of admiration. How did you come up with such a clever idea? It's simply amazing..."
Facing Tang Mingrui's praise, He Zhiran also felt a little guilty. After all, she didn't come up with this thing. It was completely copied from the results of her previous life.
"Haha... This is very simple, but you don't have time to think about it!" He Zhiran smiled casually and continued to help Tang Mingrui introduce the ingredients and seasonings on the table.
Not only Tang Mingrui listened carefully, but also Mo Qing and He Shangshu listened with great interest.
He Shangshu was just pulled over by his old wife and said that his daughter had prepared delicious food. He never thought that all the food on the table was raw food. How could he swallow it?
Is there a custom of eating raw food here in the northwest?
He Zhiran's next move immediately cleared up his confusion.
Because the red soup in the copper pot had boiled, the room was filled with a fresh aroma that he had never experienced before.
He Zhiran picked up a few pieces of meat and some fish balls and other meaty foods and put them into the pot.
Before she could speak, Mo Qing couldn't wait to greet He Shangshu to use his chopsticks.
At the same time, he took a thin piece of meat and put it into He Shangshu's bowl.
"My dear, this is mutton. It tastes fresh and tender and has no smell at all. Just dip it in some sauce and eat it."
This was the first time He Shangshu had seen such a way of eating. How long had it been since the mutton was put into the pot?
Although it looks like it has died, can it be eaten like this?
It was not the first time for Mrs. He next to him to eat hot pot. Seeing that her man was still in a daze, she couldn't help but touch his arm.
"Master, my father-in-law didn't lie to you. This mutton is very delicious."
Looking at the other people on the table, the ingredients that my daughter had just put into the pot had been swept away in the blink of an eye, and then a lot more were put in.
No need to ask, looking at the expressions of enjoyment on those people's faces and not even bothering to say anything, this food must be delicious.
It didn't matter to He Shangshu that he couldn't stop eating at all.
No wonder, the old wife and son didn't want to leave even after they came. They thought the meal at the Mo family last night was attractive enough, but today's hot pot was even more addictive.
He Zhiran also took out the wine he brewed in autumn today.
The wine has been stored in the warehouse after it was made. The weather in the northwest is cold now. Although it is cold in the utility room, it does not reach the level of freezing.
At this time, the temperature of the wine is as if it has been chilled. Paired with the hot hot pot, it is both relieving and refreshing.
Undoubtedly, the wine was praised by all.
He Shangshu has only one hobby in his life, which is to have a drink when he has nothing to do.
He Zhiran liked it and made him a jar of Wuliangye yesterday. After He Shangshu drank it, he was full of praise and even claimed that it was many times more delicious than the royal tribute wine.
Today he tasted the wine brewed by his daughter again. For him, it had a unique flavor.
He Shangshu kept thinking in his heart, love, love...
