Bai Xu also knew how to play chess, and thought he was pretty good at it, so he went over to watch.

As he watched, he suddenly felt unwell.

The truth is, the chess skills of these two people are totally beyond his reach, which is very discouraging.

Mo Qingling was born into a noble family, was older than him, and was more capable than him, which was normal.

But Xiao Hanzheng's chess skills were so superb that he seemed to be even better than Mo Qingling. This surprised and shocked him.

Seeing that Shi Qingluo was also concentrating on watching the two people playing chess.

Bai Xu asked rudely, "Do you understand?"

When Shi Qingluo heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Not only can I understand it, I can also play it."

"When they're done, shall we play a round too?"

How dare you underestimate her.

Bai Xu was hit by Mo Qingling and the others, and just wanted to find a sense of existence. Shi Qingluo came to him at the right time, "Okay!"

After waiting for a long time, Mo Qingling and the other person finally came down.

Xiao Hanzheng won.

Mo Qingling was very surprised, obviously he didn't expect Xiao Hanzheng's chess skills to be so superb.

He didn't know that it was only because of the pressure from Boss Xiao that he was able to perform half of his level in his previous life.

It was rare for Mo Qingling to find an opponent with such excellent chess skills in this small county, and he originally wanted to play another game.

But I had also heard what Bai Xu and Shi Qingluo said before.

He was somewhat curious about Shi Qingluo's chess skills.

So he gave up his position and said, "You guys take charge of this round."

Bai Xu and Shi Qingluo didn't hesitate to sit down and started playing chess.

At first, Bai Xu was very calm and had a little bit of arrogance, but as time went on, his expression became more solemn and hesitant.

The result is self-evident. Bai Xu was tortured to the point of questioning his life.

He couldn’t compare to Mo Qingling, couldn’t compare to Xiao Hanzheng, he couldn’t even compare to a little village girl…

He looked hopeless, "You are such a great chess player."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin proudly, "That's right."

"In front of other people, I wouldn't dare to say that my chess skills are high, but in front of you, I can still say so."

She was often abused and cried during those years, but she worked hard to study chess and achieved today's results.

Xiaobai actually looked down on her, so of course she would make him cry.

Bai Xu: “…” So heartbreaking.

Mo Qingling was surprised again. He really didn't expect that Shi Qingluo's chess skills were actually quite high.

She and Xiao Hanzheng have not been married for very long, and it is obvious that such a high level of skill cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

That is what I learned when I was in the Taoist temple.

He couldn't help but said, "Madam Xiao, shall we play a game?"

Shi Qingluo nodded generously, "Okay!"

She also wanted to compete with the ancient chess masters.

She had to accept her fate that she couldn't compete with a big shot like her young husband.

So the two began to play chess, with you coming and I following closely step by step.

The game lasted a long time before it ended and the two players ended up in a draw.

Mo Qingling's impression of Shi Qingluo was elevated a lot.

One can judge a person by playing chess. He found that this young woman was very magnanimous and had a broad mind, and she had her own thoughts.

"You two are both very good at chess. I admire you."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are too kind!"

Then Mo Qingling played the second game with Xiao Hanzheng.

As for Bai Xu, he had already gone to the side and started drawing circles.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Shi Qingluo got up and took Xiao Xiaomei to the kitchen to prepare the pot.

Xiao's mother is good at cutting, so she was the one who cut the mutton, cutting it into thin slices with one stroke.

Because the vegetables needed to be boiled in hot water, the taste would not be good if boiled in plain water, so Qing Luo asked her aunt to cook chicken soup before going out.

She started preparing the sauce.

In addition to sesame paste, there is also newly opened fermented bean curd made into paste, and paste made from soybeans.

I also fried the meat paste with soybean paste.

It’s a pity that there’s no chili, otherwise it would taste better.

At dinner time, a strong fragrance wafted into the yard.

Shi Qingluo had already placed a basin of ice at the dining area, so the room was no longer hot.

Seeing that Mo Qingling and Xiao Hanzheng had just finished a game, she shouted, "It's time to eat!"

Bai Xu was about to leave, but when he heard about the innovative way of eating and the sauce, he stayed and had a free meal.

After washing their hands and sitting down, they noticed something strange about the pot in the middle.

The key is that you don’t need to put it on the fire or stove, you can cook it with charcoal.

The table was filled with lamb, pork, chicken and fresh vegetables.

Shi Qingluo brought in another wooden tray with several kinds of dipping sauces on it.

"This is sesame sauce, it's best dipped in lamb."

"This is fermented bean curd sauce, this is soybean paste, and this is meat sauce."

"You can take whatever you like, or try them all."

She brought out enough dipping sauce for everyone to try.

Except for Shi Qingluo, no one present had ever eaten it this way.

Mo Qingling smiled and said, "I didn't expect there are so many ways to eat shabu-shabu mutton with dipping sauces. Let's try them today."

Bai Xu also became interested, "It's my first time seeing this too."

He also saw business opportunities in it. After all, their Bai family started out by opening a restaurant.

Xiao's mother and Xiao's younger sister did not sit at the table, but ate their food with chicken broth on the stove in the kitchen.

The main purpose was to avoid suspicion, after all, Xiao Xiaomei was not engaged yet.

Shi Qingluo stayed and joined them. The separation between men and women in Daliang was not very strict, and there was no rule that women could not sit at the table.

She is a married woman, and her husband is also with her, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

If Xiao Hanzheng wasn't here, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to sit and eat together.

In these aspects, although Shi Qingluo is a modern person, she still has to pay attention to what she should pay attention to. She doesn't want people to think she is an alien.

Moreover, keeping a distance from the opposite sex is what she should do as a married woman, and it is also a kind of respect for her husband.

Of course, she herself would not go out or eat alone with other men. If her husband dared to go out or eat alone with a woman, she would tell him to get out.

A few of them were a little hesitant at first, after all, they had never eaten and cooked food like this with others before.

But after taking a few bites, I gradually let go.

Not to mention, this way of eating is not only novel and delicious, but also brings people closer together.

Especially when dipped in the dipping sauce prepared by Shiqingluo, the taste is absolutely amazing.

On such a hot day, several people ate mutton hotpot and drank iced sour plum juice, feeling relaxed all over.

Even Mo Qingling put aside the image of a young master from an aristocratic family and kept rinsing the food in the pot with his serving chopsticks.

His favorite is also sesame sauce, followed by fermented bean curd sauce made with sesame oil.

Bai Xu’s favorite is fermented bean curd sauce, followed by sesame sauce.

After eating, Xiao Hanzheng made some Kung Fu tea to help everyone get rid of the greasiness.

After resting for a while, Shi Qingluo went to mix a bowl of black sesame paste for everyone.

"What do you think of this sesame paste and sesame paste?"

Although Mo Qingling was already full, he still finished the sesame paste, "Very good."

He said sincerely: "If Nanxi County can make sesame sauce, sesame paste and sesame hair oil, I will lead the people to thank Madam Xiao first."

This was the most comfortable meal he had had since coming to Nanxi County. Even the meals in the capital city felt inferior to this one.

This Mr. Xiao’s wife is really a capable person.
