Chapter 666 Spicy Hot Pot
The waiter looked at Liu Ji who was handling the situation well, then turned back to look at Qin Yao and his sister, "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so approachable."
Brother and sister: "."
Dalang and Erlang, who were surrounded by aunts and mothers-in-law, saw their mother and uncle outside the crowd. They instantly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly dodged the clutches of the aunts and mothers-in-law, and ran over.
"Mother!" Both brothers felt a little aggrieved and resentful.
Qin Yao smiled and touched his head, and the two brothers felt better.
Liu Ji looked back and saw that his wife had already come out. He hurriedly bowed to these enthusiastic neighbors and said:
"Sisters-in-law and aunts, we'll talk later. Bye now."
Everyone politely tried to persuade her to stay and nodded towards Qin Yao in a friendly manner.
With such an interesting husband, the ladies in this family should also be good-tempered people, and they are looking forward to her joining them.
Qin Yao smiled and nodded, responding to everyone's enthusiasm. She agreed with the waiter to meet the landlord tomorrow morning to negotiate the price, and then left with her family.
It was already dusk, and the private school in Kuanzhengfang was over. Groups of students ran out of the school, laughing and joking as they walked home. It was quite a lively scene.
It was a long time since I last saw such an atmosphere. The four brothers and sisters of Dalang leaned against the car window and watched with envy.
I am also secretly looking forward to what interesting things will happen after living here.
On the way home, Liu Ji bought some peppers and immediately arranged for spicy hot pot.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the spices until fragrant, then add the chili peppers and stir-fry. An indescribable tempting aroma wafts out. Awang and Yin Le, who were helping out, sneezed and swallowed their saliva secretly.
Awang slices the fresh pork belly into thin slices, marinates it with cooking wine and soy sauce, and then places it on a white porcelain plate. The bright red slices look like a flower blooming in the white porcelain.
There are many people in the family, so we ordered five large plates of meat.
In addition, there were several side dishes that Yin Le had cleaned, filling up the entire table.
Qin Yao and Qin Feng were also busy. They lit the charcoal stove and kept the fire burning vigorously.
In order to avoid damaging the wooden table top, three bricks were placed on the table top, and then the burning charcoal stove was placed on it.
"Make way! Here comes the bottom of the pot!"
Liu Ji roared, and the people gathered around the table immediately made way for him. The bottom of the pot was the protagonist of the night.
A pot of spicy red oil is placed steadily on the charcoal stove, with a few fragrant white and green onion segments and red dates floating on it, which looks tempting.
The four brothers and sisters of Dalang served the cooked white rice to the table. As soon as they put down their chopsticks, Yin Le took out the wine that he had brought yesterday but had not had time to drink from the well. That was it!
As night falls, in the hall brightly lit by candlelight, the whole family, big and small, sit around the hot pot table.
The younger ones took bites of meat and sips of soup, whispering to each other in gibberish that only they could understand.
The elder one sipped wine and ate meat, and talked about his expectations for the future.
A warmth flows in everyone's heart, making their bones feel lazy, as if they are soaking in a pool of blissful hot spring water.
Qin Feng looked at the smiling faces in front of him and didn't want to leave at all, and he was even more reluctant to see his sister and her family move away.
"Why don't our whole family live here?" Qin Feng drank two glasses of wine and his throat sounded hoarse.
Qin Yao just smiled, and Qin Feng knew that what he said was impossible to achieve. He sighed lightly, and his heart felt even more sour.
"Uncle, eat meat." Liu Ji picked up a piece of pork belly he had just fished out with chopsticks and put it into Qin Feng's bowl. The two brothers put their arms around each other's shoulders and said with a smile:
"From now on, we will always keep a room for you, my uncle. You can come whenever you want and live here for the rest of your life, as long as you are happy!"
He was willing to lend flowers to offer to Buddha, without spending a penny, and still sold them at a good price.
Fortunately, this also made him sell it to the heart of people's hearts. Qin Feng was instantly overjoyed. He patted Liu Ji on the back and said excitedly: "Good brother-in-law, I was right about you!"
Liu Ji picked up a full bowl of wine and stood up, "Uncle, your brother-in-law toasts you a glass!"
"Okay!" Qin Feng was also so excited that he didn't even want the wine glass. He picked up the wine pot and was ready to drink with him.
Qin Yao looked at the two men drinking in front of her in silence. As expected, they fell on the table with two dull thuds.
She slowly picked up the remaining half of the wine in the jar, drank it down with a "ton, ton, ton", wiped her mouth and burped loudly in satisfaction. Then she called Awang, helped the two noobs at the table up, and sent them back to their respective rooms.
Qin Feng's alcohol tolerance was actually not bad, and he was not drunk to the point of being unconscious. As soon as Qin Yao lifted him up, he opened his eyes dazedly, his mouth harder than steel, "I'm not drunk, sister, let go, I can walk by myself."
In fact, his feet were floating and he was already walking in the form of light steps.
Even so, his desire to win was still unabated. He turned back to look for his beloved brother-in-law, and saw Liu Ji, who had been carried on Awang's shoulders and was as soft as a stick of mud and had fallen asleep. He laughed triumphantly "Hahahaha".
Qin Yao complained in her heart: How childish.
She remained expressionless and covered Qin Feng's mouth with her hand as he laughed non-stop, the noise hurting her ears.
Liu Ji, that rookie, couldn't even get up the next morning.
Qin Feng recovered well, but his face kept getting hot whenever he thought of his foolish behavior last night and faced Qin Yao's teasing gaze.
The brother and sister went out together to meet the landlord in the west of the city. The two sides haggled over the price for half an hour and finally completed the transaction with 5,800 taels of silver.
The payment was made on the spot. The owner of the house wrote Qin Yao's name on the silver Qin Feng gave and gave the house deed to her for safekeeping.
Qin Yao didn't say anything this time. She just thought of it as keeping the house for her brother. In case Qin Feng got into trouble one day, the house would at least be worth a few thousand taels of silver.
Later, Qin Feng spent another 8,000 taels to buy two prosperous shops facing the street in the south of the city, one two-story building and the other a medium-sized single-story shop.
Both shops have tenants, and you can collect rent if you buy them.
He originally wanted to buy another farm, but it was too late. Qin Feng had been delayed in the capital for so many days. If he didn't leave, he would miss the boat to Sucheng.
On the day Qin Feng left, Qin Yao and his wife took their children to send him to the dock, watched him get on the ship, and did not leave until the ship sailed away.
The brother and sister agreed to celebrate the New Year together in Beijing this year. Thinking that they would be able to meet again at the end of the year, the sadness of separation was diluted a lot.
Qin Feng also made up his mind to cut off contact with Yanhong as soon as he arrived in Sucheng this time.
After completing this business trip with Uncle Qi and returning to Wangcheng, he was determined to get rid of all the rivals in Wangcheng who were eyeing his salt mine.
Then he went to Beijing with ease to celebrate the New Year with his sister and her family.
Gazing into the distance, Kyoto was already shrouded in thick fog rising from the sea. The figure he was looking for had turned into a black dot smaller than an ant. In a moment of distraction, he lost track of the person, mixed in with a group of small black dots, and could no longer be distinguished.
