"There's something going on with spies outside. We can't get out now and are trapped in this town!"
"I guess you guys will be on holiday soon, wife. It will be hard to get out after the workers go home!"
Jiang Yanzhi shook off the snowflakes on his body. He didn't expect that when he was halfway through his hot pot meal, it started snowing heavily outside again.
"Then can we go home tomorrow?"
Jiang Yanli immediately became excited when she heard what her elder brother said.
Who would want to go to work in this snowy weather? It’s for life. Otherwise, it would be so comfortable to stay at home!
"That's not going to happen! Even if we can go home, we have to wait until the town conducts a thorough investigation!"
Jiang Yanzhi walked into the room and took a look at the hot pot on the table.
He turned around calmly, not wanting anyone to see him swallowing.
Others may not know that Jiang Yanzhi is actually a real foodie.
If conditions permit, I will never compromise my appetite.
Before he married Tang Xinyi, he would go to state-owned restaurants for a meal every now and then.
Once he heard that the state-owned restaurant had braised pork, even heavy snow could not stop him from coming to town to eat.
Later, he married Tang Xinyi and had a wife with cooking skills comparable to those of a great chef. Jiang Yanzhi went to state-owned restaurants to eat less frequently.
"There's hot water in the pot. Go wash your hands first, and I'll cut you some more mutton!"
"Mom, you go up first. I'm here, so you don't have to do anything!"
Jiang Yanzhi's actions could deceive others, but not Tang Xinyi.
She went to the kitchen and cut two large plates of thin lamb, and then cut another plate of pork belly for fear that it would not be enough.
Then he took out half a cabbage from the cupboard, washed it casually, broke it into pieces and brought it to the table.
"Hurry up and eat. Xiaojun, give your sister some more meat. The soup is also good. You can drink it with a spoon!"
Tang Xinyi took two spoons from the thin pineapple and handed them to the two children.
"Wife, help me with some mutton!"
"It's freezing outside, and I guess the ground will be covered with snow again tomorrow!"
Jiang Yanzhi had been outside for quite some time, so his entire body was frozen stiff. Even though he had returned to the house, he still couldn't recover for a while.
He trembled as he tried to pick up the meat with chopsticks and put it into the hot pot, but he failed after trying several times.
"Let me do it. You drink some soup to warm yourself up first!"
Tang Xinyi took Jiang Yanzhi's bowl and filled him with half a bowl of soup.
"Thank you, wife!"
Jiang Yanzhi took the soup and drank it in small sips. Only then did he feel his body warming up and his hands were not as stiff as before.
"Is it snowing outside again? The weather is getting colder day by day. It's not this cold at this time of year in previous years!"
Jiang Yanli felt a little distressed when she saw her elder brother was so cold.
He felt guilty and picked some of the meat in his bowl and gave it to his elder brother.
Jiang Yanzhi didn't mind his sister's saliva. He dipped it in some chili sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it quickly.
"fragrant!"
"Mom, put some more sesame paste in my bowl. I've been hungry all day, and eating only spicy food will give me heartburn!"
Jiang Yanzhi finished a mouthful of meat before he had time to ask his mother for sauce.
"Okay, I'll scoop it for you!"
When Zheng Xiulian heard her son said he hadn't eaten for a day, she felt distressed and immediately picked up the jar of sesame paste, scooped a spoonful from it and put it in her son's sauce dish.
"The sesame paste my daughter-in-law makes is delicious, even better than what I made in previous years!"
"I'll have to make more tomorrow when I have time. I waste so much sesame paste when I eat hot pot!"
Zheng Xiulian added another spoonful to her son's bowl, and then carefully closed the lid of the sesame paste jar.
"It's easy for us here, but I don't know how our dad eats at home?"
Tang Xinyi doesn't worry about it on weekdays, but now that her mother-in-law is here, there is no one to cook for her father-in-law.
"Don't worry, I've steamed a lot of steamed buns and sticky rice dumplings at home. I can just heat them up and eat them!"
"Besides, it's not like your dad can't cook. It's just that he doesn't have the chance to show off since you married into the family. In the past, he would have cooked several meals a month!"
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Tang Xinyi felt a little relieved.
"I really want to try my dad's cooking skills. When we have a day off tomorrow, I'll have to let him show me his skills!"
Tang Xinyi ate two pieces of pork belly and then took another bite with chili sauce.
She and her sister-in-law love spicy food the most, especially the hot sauce they make themselves, which is not only spicy but also very fragrant.
With her secret spicy sauce, even cabbage hot pot tastes delicious.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Tang Xinyi had just put down her chopsticks when there was another knock on her door.
"Our family is here, who's knocking on the door?"
Just as Tang Xinyi was about to go downstairs to open the door, she was stopped by Jiang Yanzhi.
"You sit down, I'll go out and take a look!"
At such a sensitive time, how could he let his wife open the door?
Jiang Yan got off the kang, put on his cotton shoes, put on his coat and left the house.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Hearing the noise outside, Tang Xinyi immediately put on her shoes and went out.
"Dad, why are you here at this time?"
"Come in quickly, come in quickly, it's freezing outside."
Tang Xinyi lifted the curtain to let Jiang Xi'an in, and immediately went to the kitchen to get some hot water. She asked her father-in-law to wash his hands and face, then welcomed him into the house and asked him to quickly get on the kang to warm up.
"Oh, I was so worried at home, but I didn't expect you guys to be having hot pot in the city!"
Seeing the state of these people, Jiang Xian was so angry.
As soon as he received the call, he rushed to the town without stopping, but these people were eating hot pot leisurely!
"Dad, warm yourself up and have some soup first!"
"I'll make you a dipping sauce. Do you want it spicy?"
Tang Xinyi first served her father-in-law a bowl of bone soup, and then began to prepare the dipping sauce.
"Let's have some spicy food. I've been freezing all this way. I need something spicy to warm me up!"
Jiang Xi'an blew a few breaths into his palms, then rubbed them vigorously a few times.
He was freezing from riding against the wind and snowing all the way.
"Here, try the hot sauce I made!"
Tang Xinyi handed over the dipping sauce dish, and only then did she have time to ask her father-in-law why he came.
"Dad, why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong at home?"
Tang Xinyi was full, so she started to serve hot pot to those who were still hungry.
Jiang Yanzhi had already gone to the kitchen to cut the mutton.
The two grown men in the Jiang family both had big appetites, and that little bit was not enough for them.
"Didn't your leader call me and ask every village chief to come to town and take the villagers back home?"
"I heard that a few spies have escaped here. In order to prevent the spies from taking advantage of any loopholes, everyone must be sent back to the village!"
"Until the spy is caught!"
"Xinyi, you and your sister don't have to go to work for the time being. We have to wait for notification from higher-ups on when we can return to work!"
