"Xiaoyan, what are you making? This taste is absolutely amazing!"
"hot pot."
Since there weren't many customers ahead of him, Qiu Dayu joined Chef Chen in preparing the dishes.
After finishing her work, Qiu Yan returned to the wonton shop.
Since it was late afternoon, the wonton shop wasn't busy.
To her surprise, Qiu Dazhi was sitting at a table in the wonton shop, wolfing down hot wontons.
After giving a brief greeting to her aunt, Qiu Yan looked displeased at Qiu Dazhi sitting at the table. When Qiu Dazhi saw Qiu Yan, his gaze darted away. "Xiao Yan."
After Qiu Dazhi finished speaking, he lowered his head deeply and buried himself in his food.
Perhaps he had been starving for a long time, for he had never eaten such delicious wontons in his life.
He wouldn't have come looking for his sister if he hadn't been at his wit's end.
He was so hungry he nearly fainted, and he was listless when reading every day.
Fortunately, his sister was kind and was willing to give him a bite to eat.
During the harsh winter, Yang fell seriously ill. He spent all the savings he had earned from copying books to buy medicine for his mother, leaving him so poor that he was practically begging on the streets.
However, Yang's illness did not improve, causing him to worry every day.
He no longer held his previous prejudice against Qiu Yan, but he still looked down on Qiu Xu. To put it bluntly, he was still self-righteous.
Qiu Yan glanced at Qiu Dazhi indifferently; she had never liked this man.
"Auntie, why is he here?"
Qiu Yumei's expression stiffened slightly. She knew about the past conflict between Qiu Yan and Qiu Dazhi. She coughed lightly and said...
"Xiaoyan, he is still your fourth uncle."
Qiu Dazhi quickly finished the last sip of soup, said goodbye to Qiu Yumei, and left dejectedly.
If he doesn't leave soon, he's going to get extremely embarrassed.
Qiu Yan didn't say much. She knew her aunt was kind and told her to help others within limits. She also asked her to take Qiu Ling'er, her uncle, and her two cousins to Xingyuelou for dinner that evening before leaving.
On her way out, she stopped at a clothing store to see if Jiang Liu had returned.
She didn't find anyone and thought to herself that they must have stayed at their parents' home for the New Year.
Seeing that it was still early, she went back to the courtyard to see if her second uncle had returned.
The weather has been bad lately, and she's been worried about her second uncle's condition on the road.
If Jiang Liu had stayed at her parents' home, her second uncle certainly wouldn't have stayed any longer; he should be back soon by now.
However, I still haven't seen my second uncle.
She couldn't find anyone, but she did run into her younger brother, who had just finished school, and Zhou Zifang.
Zhou Zifang rushed to Qiu Yan's side immediately, "Why did you take so long to get here? Ling'er has been talking about you all day long."
Qiu Yan: "Isn't this it?"
Upon seeing his sister, Qiu Xu immediately asked:
"Sister, how is Master's wife?"
Qiu Yan replied with a smile, "Blessed with twins, mother and children are safe and sound."
Qiu Yan's simple words truly surprised Qiu Xu: "Twins? That's wonderful!"
He couldn't wait to go back and see the two children.
Upon hearing about twins, Zhou Zifang felt inexplicably happy.
He knew Li Zheng and was thinking of going back with Qiu Yan sometime to visit him.
The three of them, along with Lin Shu and Qin Wu who were waiting outside as always, went to Xingyue Tower.
When Zhou Zifang and Qiu Xu saw the fragrant hot pot on the table, they rushed over to taste it after learning that it was made by Qiu Yan.
After tasting it, praise is inevitable.
At the dinner table, Qiu Ling'er and Gu Xiaoran sat on either side of Qiu Yan, vying for her favor.
When Zhao Yuanyuan arrived, Qiu Yan didn't forget to invite Song Jiao as well.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba spend all their time in and out of the military camp, rarely tasting the finest delicacies. Now, following Qiu Yan, they feel they are in for a treat.
Everyone gathered around the hot pot, dipping meat and vegetables in it, and everyone enjoyed the delicious food.
Their hot pot attracted many diners, and Qiu Yan promised that in a few days, all diners would be able to enjoy hot pot.
Right now, conditions don't allow it; we have enough ingredients, but not enough copper pots.
