Chapter 205 Eating Hot Pot

And there are many gains.

Six pheasants, a wild goat, and each man was holding a live hare in his arms.

Patriarch Zhou followed Mo Jiuye out to check the situation and saw so many prey in front of them.

The old man rubbed his eyes hard 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 manner and went up the mountain, staying there for several days.

Even so, it seems that the game hunted is not as much as what others can get in a day.

Patriarch Zhou was envious. He envied the Mohist school so much.

With such good skills, even if the Mo family becomes a countryman all their lives like them, they will never have to worry about food and drink in the future.

At this moment, 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 off them.

Mo Hanyue simply couldn't resist this cute creature. At this moment, the little girl's eyes and eyebrows were curved with smile.

"Brother Liang Hao, you guys are amazing. You actually caught so many little rabbits."

Liang Hao smiled innocently: "If the lady likes it, we will find a way to catch more."

Mo Hanyue pointed to an empty house in the west, which she had used as a place to raise Fantuaner and the little white rabbit.

"Brothers, put the hare there first."

The door opened and Fantuan walked towards them with a grin on his face.

I'm like a door god. If you dare to get close to me, I'll bite you.

Liang Hao and others all knew that this black and white ball was Madam Jiu's treasure, so they naturally had to pamper it.

Liang Hao was the first to make a gesture of surrender: "Little ancestor, don't bite me, we promise not to go in."

Mo Hanyue ran over with amusement and carried Fantuaner into the room.

"Rice ball, they are all family, please don't be so fierce, okay?"

When facing Mo Hanyue, Fantuaner could only barely resist her, and did not have the same good attitude as she did towards He Zhiran.

It just stuck out its little butt and slid off Mo Hanyue's body, then walked away with a swagger.

This can be regarded as an acknowledgement of Mo Hanyue's words.

While feeling amused, the few of them placed the rabbits in the house before closing the door and leaving.

When Mo Jiuye saw the mynah bird coming back, he asked him to go into the house to talk to Chief Zhou, and he went to ask Chief Zhao to come over.

As soon as we reached the front door, the Zhou family members brought us another large round table, several chairs, and two charcoal stoves.

Everything is ready except for the east wind, it's time for He Zhiran to appear.

She directed her confused family members to place two charcoal stoves in the center of the two tables, and then took out two large copper basins from the kitchen that she had purchased during her exile.

While filling the copper basin with clean water, she also added the red oil hot pot base she bought on Taobao.

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 also accompanied 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 on the table.

Especially a few outsiders.

The Mo family was polite and it was true that they invited them to dinner, but how could they use charcoal fire to boil water on the table?

Especially the two clan leaders, Zhao and Zhou, they didn't understand what was going on and were too embarrassed to ask, thinking it was just a new way of eating among the wealthy families in the capital.

If they asked, they would look like country bumpkins who had never seen the world...

In the end, it was Xie Tianhai who spoke up and asked what everyone was thinking.

"Jiuye, what are you asking us to eat?"

Mo Jiuye smiled.

"Uncle Xie, this is a new way of eating that my wife came up with. It's called hot pot."

As soon as he finished speaking, he asked everyone to take their seats, one table for men and one table for women, which was just the right arrangement of seats.

Everyone had just sat down with confused faces when He Zhiran and a group of female relatives brought up the ingredients one after another.

When they saw these ingredients, they were even more confused.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, He Zhiran introduced:

"Everyone, this is a new way of eating that I learned from a book. Put the ingredients in a copper basin and cook them, and eat them while they are cooking."

As they were talking, the water in the copper basin containing the red oil hot pot base had already boiled, and the spicy and fragrant aroma filled the entire room.

After listening to He Zhiran's explanation and hearing the tempting aroma wafting from the pot, some people could no longer contain 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 about how to eat the hot pot until I saw someone demonstrate it with my own eyes.

Therefore, everyone could only look at Mo Jiuye eagerly.

In fact, this was the first time that Mo Jiuye saw this new way of eating. However, as the host, he had to lead by example.

So he picked up some of the ingredients and put them into the copper basin.

He Zhiran also prepared the dipping sauce and distributed it to everyone in a timely manner.

Seeing the water in the copper basin boiling again, she reminded him, "It's ready to eat. Just dip it in the seasoning in the bowl."

Everyone followed He Zhiran's instructions and put some ingredients into their bowls, dipped them in sesame sauce and started eating.

There was no such crop as chili peppers in Dashun, and the choking taste in the throat made several people cough uncontrollably.

After coughing, a fresh, fragrant and tempting taste lingers in the mouth for a long time, making people feel more courageous.

Then, everyone put the cooked ingredients from the copper pot into their bowls again and started to feast on them.

Mo Chuhan nodded and praised continuously: "I wonder what kind of seasoning Ninth Sister-in-law put in the soup, it is so delicious, it is really hard to stop eating."

Fang Chuanzhou also echoed: "Yes, I've been in Beijing for so many years and have eaten all kinds of delicious food, but nothing is as satisfying as this hot pot today."

Xie Tianhai also smiled and said, "It's so delicious, it would be even better if it were accompanied by wine."

Speaking of wine, He Zhiran was really careless today. She prepared so many delicious foods but forgot about the wine.

The mule cart had been completely emptied. If she produced wine at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Therefore, today we can only leave you with some regrets.

Seeing that everyone had learned how to eat hotpot, He Zhiran called a few sisters-in-law together and brought up the steamed lobster with garlic and spicy mantis shrimp prepared in the kitchen.

Patriarch Zhou was better off. He had already heard Mo Jiuye talk about this thing when he came over to deliver the charcoal just now.

Patriarch Zhao was different. He asked in surprise, "Old Nine's wife, what are you doing?"

The ingredients for this hot pot are so good, and you Mo family don’t look like you’re short of money, so why would you eat something so prickly?

Out of politeness, Patriarch Zhao also thought about the following words in his mind.

He Zhiran did not explain, but asked Mo Jiuye to ask everyone to take some to taste.

She wants to prove with facts that these seafoods that you don't consider as good things become delicious and irresistible delicacies in her hands.

This was indeed the case. Out of face, everyone bit the bullet and took a bite of the seafood that Mo Jiuye gave them. The result was just as He Zhiran had expected, it was simply too delicious to stop.
