Xiao Hanzheng took a look and asked, "What is this empty space in the middle used for?"
It was the first time he had seen this kind of pot.
Shi Qingluo replied: "The middle is like a chimney, with charcoal fire underneath, and soup and meat are cooked in the outer circle."
Xiao Hanzheng put the paper away and said, "Very good."
"I'll go to the county town to get you a pot, and try to bring it back as soon as possible so you can have shabu-shabu mutton."
Now that our family conditions are good, even though it costs a lot to make an iron pot, there is no pressure.
His family also bought a horse carriage, so he didn't spend much time traveling to the county town.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Thank you, husband!"
"By the way, remember to bring back some white sesame and black sesame. I will prepare the things that Magistrate Mo wants in the next two days."
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay!"
In the afternoon, Xiao Hanzheng brought back sesame seeds, and Shi Qingluo took them to the kitchen to tinker with them.
Of course, Xiao Xiaomei was also brought along to cultivate her culinary skills.
And it was mainly Shi Qingluo who spoke on the side while Xiao Xiaomei took the lead.
There is no way, Shi Qingluo’s cooking skills are not up to par, but Xiao Xiaomei has a natural talent.
After making the sesame paste, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Xiaomei made some black sesame paste together.
The sesame oil has to be taken to the oil press workshop in the county town tomorrow to be pressed into oil before it can be used.
The ironworks in the county knew Xiao Hanzheng, so they were more considerate of him.
A day later, I got the cooking pot.
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went together to get the cooking pot.
After taking the food, he went to buy some meat and vegetables. When he was about to return, he happened to meet Mo Qingling on the road.
The two men carried their things and greeted each other, "Greetings, sir."
Mo Qingling was not wearing his official uniform. He smiled and said, "No need to be polite outside."
"Are you coming to the county town to buy something?"
Xiao Hanzheng replied: "My wife has already made sesame paste. Let's buy some mutton and try it today."
"I thought that after confirming the taste, I would give it to the adults together with sesame paste and sesame hair oil."
Mo Qingling smiled and said, "Thank you so much for troubling me."
Xiao Hanzheng invited, "If you are free, you can come to my humble abode and try the sesame sauce dipped mutton hot pot."
According to my young wife, it is better to try everything yourself.
He also wanted to interact more with Mo Qingling.
Mo Qingling had a very good impression of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, and especially admired Xiao Hanzheng more and more.
He thought about it and agreed, "Okay, then I'll bother you!"
He was not arrogant. He took his servant and got on the Xiao family's carriage and went back to Xiaxixi Village together.
When he arrived at the Xiao family, Shi Qingluo saw Bai Xu, who was lazily sitting on a chair in the yard, reading the manuscript that Xiao Hanzheng had just written.
This guy is not shy.
Bai Xu is here today to urge for the manuscript, because the sales of this book on cultivating immortals are becoming more and more popular.
He even opened a bookstore in the capital city to focus on promoting this storybook, which also became popular.
Many children of noble families in the capital city went to the bookstore to urge him to submit his manuscripts, and he received letters from the capital city every day asking for manuscripts.
There is no other choice but to come to the Xiao family by myself.
He absolutely refused to admit it, and he himself wanted to read what happened next.
Who knew that when I arrived at the Xiao family, I heard Erlang say that Xiao Hanzheng and the other person had entered the city.
When he saw the draft on the desk in the yard, he couldn't help but pick it up and read it first.
He was watching with great interest when he heard footsteps and looked over.
Then he saw Mo Qingling beside Xiao Hanzheng. He was stunned and stood up quickly.
"Greetings, sir!"
Mo Qingling was also surprised to see Bai Xu in the Xiao family's yard.
As soon as you see this man's casual look, you can tell that Bai Xu and the Xiao family must have a very good relationship.
Shi Qingluo asked Bai Xu: "Why are you here?"
The Bai family just took away a large batch of mosquito coils yesterday.
Bai Xu picked up the manuscript in his hand and shook it, "I'm here to urge your husband to submit the manuscript."
"Brother Xiao, your story is getting more and more exciting as you write it."
He was also relaxed in front of the county magistrate Mo Qingling.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled, "Thank you for the compliment!"
Mo Qingling was stunned. "What storybook?"
Bai Xu is now a fan of Xiao Hanzheng's novels, and he immediately recommended them, "Brother Xiao's novels on cultivating immortals are not only popular in the county, but also in the capital. My bookshop prints more copies every day."
The profit from this immortal cultivation storybook alone this month is equal to his bookstore's profit from the previous year. You can imagine how popular the storybook is.
Nowadays, whether in the county or in the capital, when people get together, they will ask each other, "Have you seen "Xiu Xian"? If not, then you are too behind the times."
Mo Qingling was a little surprised, "It turns out that Master Xiao can also write storybooks. I will buy one to read when I return to the county town."
It's not about love, but about cultivating immortals. He can accept that.
When he was still a playboy, he would read storybooks when he was bored.
It’s just that those people keep writing similar stories over and over again, and he lost interest after reading a few more.
Now that I heard Bai Xu praising it so highly, I became a little curious.
After Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo got together, he was also influenced by her.
He was not being modest. "Then I would like to thank you for your support."
He and his young wife discussed and wrote the immortal cultivation story book together. Not only do other people find it interesting, but even he, the writer, finds it interesting.
That is another world. Practicing Taoism and achieving immortality through various hardships will make people yearn for it.
He didn't know that after this story became popular in the capital, many young men from aristocratic families gathered in groups and went to wander around the suburbs every day.
I just want to see if I can pick up some treasure and embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
There is a big tree in the Xiao family's old house, and Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would go under the tree to enjoy the coolness.
So we put a table and chairs there, and there was also a tea set and a chess board on the table.
Shi Qingluo knows how to play Go because he has a grandfather and a grandfather-in-law who like to play the game.
When she wanted to coax the two of them, she would often play chess with them first.
At the beginning, she was beaten to pieces and cried, so she studied hard for a period of time and even found some rare books for research.
As he was abused by his two elders, his chess skills continued to improve.
One day, she saw Xiao Hanzheng sitting and playing chess with herself, and she was so eager to try her hand that she said she could play a game.
Then they developed a new daily routine: they would sit in the yard during breaks, drinking tea and playing chess.
She wins and loses, but mostly loses…
There was no way. It was just that the young husband’s chess skills were so superb that if it happened in modern times, he could easily make her grandfather and grandfather-in-law cry.
Sometimes she would think that if her young husband went to the modern era, she would take him to abuse the two old men to get back at the time when she was abused and cried.
Mo Qingling was very arrogant when he was young, but after he found out that he was being flattered by his stepmother, he suddenly realized his mistake and became motivated.
As a result, I gradually became more willful.
Just like this farmyard, he had never set foot there before, but now after taking a closer look, he finds it has a different flavor.
So he didn't feel disgusted and just sat under the big tree.
Seeing the chessboard on the table, he smiled and said, "Master Xiao also likes to play chess?"
During the years when he was a playboy, he could not stand these things the most.
But later on, he became more and more fond of playing chess, which could exercise his patience and make him less irritable and fickle.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I really like it."
Mo Qingling became interested, "How about a game?"
Xiao Hanzheng sat opposite him, "Okay!"
