Qibao didn't say anything when he saw Little Sixth Brother like this. He thought that Little Sixth Brother needed to change his temper. He didn't know how to hide his edge at all.

He turned to the twelve guards around him and asked, "Today is your first day at school. Are you all used to it?"

Yueyang smiled and said, "Miss, we can all get used to it, and we even learned a few words today!"

"Well, that's good. However, no matter how good your memory is, it's not as good as taking notes and reading the words the teacher taught you several times in the evening." Qibao said.

"Yes, I understand, Miss!"

Xiao Liu sniffed and said, "Sister, what smells so good? Is there something delicious here?"

The old man glared and said, "Your nose is as sharp as a dog's. Wait until your brothers come back and we can eat together."

"Oh." Xiaoliu felt a little aggrieved. Why did grandpa always talk about him? He could only hold Xiaoba and feel sad alone.

Not long after, the brothers were also brought back, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of hot pot.

Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin brought all the prepared vegetables and meat slices to the table.

The other people in the family saw some raw vegetables on the table and thought they were having barbecue, but when they saw a pot of red soup on the small stove, they were suddenly confused.

Kuiwu had just driven the carriage back, and his body was really cold from the wind. When he saw this pot of red soup with chili peppers on it, he wanted to have a few mouthfuls to warm himself up.

Qibao said, "You all have it. I made two pots and everyone can taste it."

The servants were all very happy. The master was so good to them. He gave them a share of all the delicious food and never treated them harshly.

Xiao Wu asked, "Sister, how do you eat this?"

Qibao demonstrated by picking up a piece of meat and putting it into the pot. When the meat was cooked, he immediately put it into a bowl and started eating.

Although it is not as good as modern hot pot, it was rare to be able to eat this in ancient times, and the taste is not bad, spicy and numbing, and with the deliciousness of chicken soup.

Everyone else followed suit, but luckily everyone in my family can eat spicy food.

Zhang took a bite and immediately fell in love with this way of eating. She said, "It's just as good as barbecue, and it's convenient. Just put it in the pot and cook it. It tastes really good!"

The old man said, "Yes, this is called hot pot. It's perfect for winter. One bite will warm your body."

Xiaoliu swept away his previous unhappiness, slurping the spicy food, and ate it with such delicious taste.

Qibao asked Mei Niang to make each person a cup of jam water with boiled water, which was just enough to relieve the spiciness.

By the time Qibao was full, the others were still eating. Uncle Xu and his brothers were already sweating on their foreheads. They drank jam water and stuffed meat slices into their mouths in big mouthfuls, and they ate so deliciously.

For some reason, Qibao felt particularly satisfied and happy when she saw this scene. She didn't know where this feeling came from.

Everyone put down their chopsticks only after they had finished all the dishes on the table. They touched their stomachs and found their mouths were red from the spiciness.

"Refreshing! So satisfying!" Kuiwu's voice came from the table next to him. At this moment, he was touching his stomach, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and drinking the remaining jam water in the cup in one gulp.

Qibao suddenly thought that since hot pot was so popular among his family, and winter was not far away, if he expanded the hot pot business, it would definitely be a good business.

Qibao took advantage of everyone being there to express his thoughts.

Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She thought that this hot pot was so delicious. If this business was successful, there would definitely be a lot of customers.

The old man thought about it for a while and said, "The hot pot business is indeed possible, but we don't have any extra staff at home, and we don't have a shop to use. How about we go to the town tomorrow to have a look?"

Qibao said, "No! Grandpa, even if we want to do this business, we definitely won't do it in town. I want to do it in Qingyun City!"

"What? Qibao, why did you want to do this business in the city? From Xujia Village to Qingyun City, it would take until evening to get there by carriage in the morning!" said the old man.

Huamen Town is just one of the towns under Qingyun City. It has a large population and a large area, so it is not easy to do business there.

"Grandpa, listen to me first. If we're going to do this, we have to prepare everything before winter. The food market in Huamen Town is already saturated. We have our barbecue restaurant and Zuixianlou, which is enough. We also need to leave some room for other small restaurants. The reason I want to do this business in Qingyun City is to promote our Xu family's brand. In the future, our Xujia Village tourist base will receive better publicity. This is the best of both worlds!"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "We have to find a suitable person to do it. I don't think anyone in my family is suitable for this business."

Xu Zhiyong listened to his grandfather's words and secretly clenched his hands under the table. He wanted to say something but didn't say it. His expression was a little confused, but it only lasted for a moment and he quickly returned to normal.

Qibao did notice it, but she didn't ask. Since her second brother didn't choose to say it, she wouldn't ask and would talk to him privately later.

"Then find someone else. I can think of a suitable candidate!" Qibao said.

"who?"

"What about Mr. Qian? He is also a good businessman. Doesn't he want to cooperate with our family?" Qibao said.

"Boss Qian is indeed good, but how should we reward him?" Qibao said.

"I've made up my mind. We'll meet with Mr. Qian tomorrow," Qibao said.
