The top-class guest rooms in this inn are quite big, but the bed is very hard. It is just a wooden board with several layers of cloth spread on it.

It seems that cotton was not yet popular in this dynasty and only the nobles could afford it.

Xie Ling took out the down quilt and Simmons mattress from her room in the old house.

There were two spare quilts in the closet, so Xie Ling took them out and spread them on another small bed and the couch next to it.

Gu Li and Gu Wei slept on the same bed, Qiuyue slept on the soft couch, and Song, Pei, Xie Ling and Ru Jie'er squeezed on the big bed.

After making the bed, Ru Jieer climbed on it without taking off her clothes and buried herself in the soft quilt.

When Pei saw this, she hurried forward and took off her prison uniform, leaving only the down vest that Xie Ling had given her.

When the Gu family saw Xie Ling conjure up a quilt out of thin air, they all looked at him and pretended not to see it.

Since Xie Ling didn't want to say anything, they naturally didn't ask.

After a while, the waiter came with hot water.

Xie Ling pulled a screen to block the way and went to take a shower.

The mist was rising, Xie Ling closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the space.

It is always a warm spring day in this space, neither too cold nor too hot. Peach blossoms flutter and fall beside the spiritual spring, which is very beautiful.

Xie Ling bought so many things for free, but she hasn't sorted them out yet and they are all piled up in the yard.

The food and vegetables collected from the imperial kitchen were all still in the same state as when they first entered the space, without any sign of deterioration.

She tried to control it with her consciousness and found that it was feasible. She finished it in less than five minutes.

While sorting out clothes, Xie Ling found a few simpler sets of clothes and planned to give them to the Gu family.

After everything was done, Xie Ling stared at the hazy white fog outside the courtyard in a daze.

I don’t know when my hills will appear.

After all, the supplies in the old house were limited, and the goods and weapons that Xie Ling had stockpiled were all on the mountain.

After coming out of the space, Xie Ling changed into a red top and blue bottom dress. Her long hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin, making her look elegant and graceful.

Pei and the others were either sitting or standing, not daring to get on the bed, for fear that their prison uniforms would soil Xie Ling's bedding.

It was not yet dark, so Xie Ling handed the clothes to Pei and went out, intending to borrow the kitchen from the store owner.

The waiter was just at the door, and Xie Ling called him, "Can you change the hot water for us? By the way, can I borrow your kitchen?"

"Sure, the kitchen is in the backyard, I'll take you there." The waiter's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the woman would be so beautiful after taking off her prison uniform. He enthusiastically led her the way.

Who doesn’t love beauty?

In the kitchen, the chefs were busy preparing food. Smoke rose up, white mist filled the air, and the aroma of food filled the air.

The waiter pointed to the empty stove and said, "There's no one there. You can go there, but you have to pay the chef for the ingredients."

Xie Ling nodded and smiled at the waiter, "Thank you."

When the waiter saw the beautiful woman's smile, he was so bewitched that he walked away foolishly.

Xie Ling looked around and took a look at the ingredients, which included eggs, cabbage, pork and mutton.

There are only a few seasonings, including salt and dogwood.

There was no chili pepper in this dynasty, and the cooking methods were also very simple. There was no stir-frying, only steaming, boiling and stewing.

Xie Ling plans to make a simple version of hot pot.

After looking around, I found that there was no pot suitable for hot pot!

The pots of this dynasty were made of aluminum. Due to the backward iron smelting technology, they were very heavy, and the walls of the pots were particularly thick, making them impossible to lift.

After thinking about it, there seemed to be an alcohol lamp in the old house, so I might as well prepare the base, process the ingredients, and bring them back to the room to eat in a porcelain bowl.

Fortunately, this stove is not eye-catching. Xie Ling quietly took out hot pot base, pepper, MSG and other seasonings from the space.

First make the spicy hot pot base, pour in oil, add onions, garlic, coriander and chili, stir-fry until fragrant, then add bay leaves, cinnamon and star anise. Finally, pour in the hot pot base and stir-fry over low heat until melted.

A layered spicy smell instantly filled the entire kitchen, which was very tempting, making people salivate and subconsciously start swallowing saliva.

The chefs in the kitchen began to look for the source of the smell and gathered around Xie Ling.

Xie Ling was packing the base ingredients. When she looked up, she was shocked to find so many people standing around her.

A chef asked, "Girl, what is this red thing of yours? Why does it smell so good?"

"This is called chili pepper. My family is doing business and brought it from the Western Regions."

The chef rubbed his hands and said, "Little girl, can you sell me some? I will pay a high price for it."

Xie Ling shook her head. "This thing is rare. My family only has a little bit. I definitely can't sell it. If you like it, ask the caravan going to the Western Regions in the future."

All the chefs around shook their heads regretfully, looked at Xie Ling's hot pot base reluctantly, and then went back to their respective places.

Xie Ling washed the pot and started to make the clear soup base.

The steps are the same, but instead of adding chili peppers, add clear soup hot pot base.

The taste of the food cooked in clear soup base is much more satisfactory.

Xie Ling could actually make her own hotpot base, which is even more delicious than the hotpot base. However, it was late now, and after eating she planned to go to Xifeng Tower to join in the fun.

After preparing two sets of hot pot bases, Xie Ling began to process the ingredients, washing the vegetables and marinating the meat.

She was nimble and quick, and when she returned to the room, the hotpot base was still warm.

As soon as I entered the room, Gu Li ran over and said, "Second sister-in-law, you went to the kitchen, why didn't you ask me to help you?"

Everyone in the room couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the spicy aroma of the hot pot base.

Xie Ling replied: "Let you take a good bath."

The whole family had now changed out of their prison uniforms and looked brand new.

Xie Ling took out the alcohol lamp and the double-flavored cooking pot from the space, and then rummaged through the drawers to find an iron rack for support.
