Chapter 507: It’s time to eat hot pot when the weather is cold

I don't know when Xue Huan came over.

She and Xiaohua were lying on the ground, one lying on the ground, and the other sitting on a small stool.

A man and a dog sniffed the scent at the same time.

At the corner of Xiaohua's mouth, there was a long string of crystals, shining brightly.

It shook its head, and crystals fell one after another, wetting a small bluestone brick.

If this were muddy ground and had seeped into the soil, it would be difficult to find.

Jiang Fubao was speechless when he saw its ugly appearance.

I have never seen such a greedy dog.

After the cake was baked, she simply cut off a piece of the leftovers, cut it in half, blew on it, and quickly stuffed the two into Xiaohua and Xuehuan's mouths.

“Wow, it’s delicious.”

“Woof woof woof—”

The eyes of the man and the dog widened instantly.

The chestnuts were cooked by then.

"Pick out the big ones and mash the rest into paste." Jiang Fubao instructed the two cooks who were boiling chestnuts.

She scooped a spoonful of pastry into the pot.

After the chestnuts become puree, mix with the soup, stir-fry until smooth and serve.

Cut the cake just baked into six pieces from top to bottom.

Spread chestnut paste evenly on the middle layers, then Jiang Fubao took out a brush he had never used before, dipped it in osmanthus sauce, and applied it on the cake.

She stacked the big chestnuts on top of the cake.

The cream-free chestnut cake is ready.

"Second sister, is the hot pot ready? It's getting late and the rain has stopped. Grandma and the others should be back. It rained today. Brother Bujiu and Brother Mingxue didn't come at noon, so they will definitely come to eat in the evening. Please prepare more. Brother Mingxue loves hot pot. Don't let there not be enough food and he won't be full."

Put the cake in the cupboard.

Jiang Fubao turned his head and spoke to his second sister who was busy.

"Don't worry, there's always more food than enough."

Jiang Ruyi naturally took this into consideration.

"Okay, today we're not the only ones eating together, we're also going to have hot pot in the backyard. You all should prepare your own dishes. If you don't have enough, wash and cut them. Eat until you're full."

Jiang Fubao felt relieved and said to the servants in the backyard.

"Yes, thank you Miss——"

"My lady is the best to the servants."

"I want to eat fried eggs with pork fat. I'll fry two eggs later and put them in the pot. They will absorb the spicy soup. My mouth is watering."

"Then I want to eat noodles. I'll go knead the dough now. When the time comes, I'll put some noodles in after I finish eating the vegetables. It will be so delicious."

"You guys eat all kinds of weird things. Why eat noodles when you eat hot pot? I want to eat meat. I'll go cut some mutton, the thinner the better. When the time comes, dip it in the hot pot. Wow, it's so delicious."

"I don't enjoy eating mutton. I enjoy eating scorpions and gnawing on the bones."

"Why do you all love to eat meat? I don't eat meat. I want to be a vegetarian. I've gained weight recently. If I continue to eat like this, I'm afraid that by the beginning of spring next year, the lady won't be able to recognize me."

"I don't want to eat pork either. I want to eat fried bean curd skin or tofu."

"......"

The servants and maids began to discuss what dishes to have for hot pot tonight.

Finally, everyone chose a dish and prepared it.

After all, the master left a lot of food. If we don’t eat it today, it might go bad tomorrow.

The sky has not cleared up after the rain, and it got dark earlier than yesterday.

As soon as we entered the courtyard, the main hall was full of people.

Two more chairs were added today.

Because Meng Bujiu learned it from Kong Ming.

It was a bit chilly at night, but eating hot pot together was lively and warm.

Jiang Fubao cut the cake in half, gave each person a small piece, and asked the maid who was delivering food to take the remaining half to the backyard.

Just like here, a spicy base is cooking in the pot in the backyard.

There were no separate tables today. The servants and maids sat around together, putting pickled vegetables and vegetarian dishes into the pot.

"I am living like a god. I have suffered so much in the first half of my life, and now I am finally enjoying my life."

"That's right. Whose slaves can be as comfortable as us? We must serve our masters well in the future."

"That's for sure. Without my master, I'd still be eating stale steamed buns in the dental clinic."

"Okay, stop saying sad words and eat. The food is ready. Erya, have your fried tofu skin." Pan Shitou picked up a big chopstick of fried tofu skin covered with soup for his sister.

Pan Erya was afraid of spicy food, so she put vinegar in her bowl to relieve the spiciness.

"Erya, you've gained a lot of weight during this time of following the young lady. What did you eat in the clinic?"

Xia'er reached out and pinched Pan Erya's cheek, and asked her with a smile.

"I eat the same thing as the young lady, but in the afternoon, the young lady will let me buy some snacks, sometimes cakes, sometimes steamed buns or fried cakes, so I eat four meals a day, and I don't move much, but I get fat."

While talking, Pan Erya picked up another piece of scorpion and started chewing it.

"No wonder, but you should eat less, don't eat too much to get out of shape. The master said that when we turn 25, he will let us get married or be betrothed to someone in the mansion..."

Xia'er was talking halfway when she glanced at Anan sitting opposite her and lowered her head shyly.

Anan seemed to feel the burning gaze and looked over as well.

They looked at each other.

"Hey, what is this?"

“Ohhhhhh—”

"You two—"

The monkey-like cries echoed throughout the backyard.

At this time, Jiang Fubao, who was eating with his mouth full of oil, had no idea that there would be a young couple in his house soon.

"The chestnut cake made by Fubao is really delicious, sweet but not greasy. This cake is soft and delicious. This is the first time I have tasted it. It's strange that I felt very spicy in my mouth just now, but after eating the sweet and drinking half a cup of milk, the spiciness was relieved. No wonder Fubao asked the maid to pour a full cup of milk for each of us."

Meng Bujiu suddenly realized.

He wanted to refuse the milk before dinner.

Seeing that everyone had it, I could only swallow my refusal.

After all this time, this is the role of milk.

Sister Fubao is smart.

"Hey, milk can help relieve spiciness and is good for the stomach. If you eat something too spicy and your stomach gets uncomfortable at night, drinking milk will make it much better."

Jiang Fubao took a deep breath due to the spicy taste, and then she drank the milk in the cup in one gulp.

Then he went to the table next to him and brought a jug full of milk.

Fill the cup.

Thinking that the milk had been served, she walked around the table and added some milk to all the cups until there was no more milk in the pot. Only then did she sit down and continue eating.

At the same time, at Jiang Kang's house in Jiangjia Village, the door was suddenly smashed.

“Boom boom boom—”

The dull and heavy sound startled Jiang Zhuzi who was cooking in the kitchen.

As soon as he loosened his grip, the spatula fell to the ground.

He walked into the yard with a frown on his face.

But the timid Jiang Kang didn't dare to leave. He held on to the door frame and looked out from the kitchen.

"Who is it?" Who is so blind as to bang on the door in the middle of the night?

Jiang Zhuzi felt something was wrong. He did not rush to open the door, but shouted to the outside.
