At lunchtime, the hot pot was served. Qingyan felt comfortable looking at the bright red, spicy broth. Enjoying a hot pot like this on a hot summer day would definitely make her feel very comfortable.
Plates of vegetables were served, the small coffee table was piled high, and a steaming hot pot filled the car. The owners inside were all smiles.
Looking at the spicy hot pot, Qingyan finally felt relieved. This summer, she and Yin had been out having sex and hadn't had time to enjoy this hot pot feast. If it weren't for Kangxi wanting to use hot pot, they probably would have had to wait a while longer.
"Eat up!" Yin picked up some mutton and put it in the hot pot on Qingyan's side. He wasn't very interested in the spicy hot pot and always used the clear broth hot pot.
A bowl of tomato soup was placed in front of each person. Qingyan dipped it in sesame sauce and drank the tomato soup, feeling incredibly happy.
"Hehe, life is pretty good now, at least I can finally eat what I want!" Qingyan exclaimed.
Inside the carriage were only Yin and Qingyan. Su Peisheng and the others had told Yin to go to the carriage behind for his meal. Listening to his little mouth's complaints, Yin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. The little guy always thought of him first and always gave in.
After coming to the grasslands, life became increasingly difficult. A large portion of the things she bought with her own money were stolen, no wonder her face was always gloomy.
"Sisi, eat more! We don't know when we'll be able to eat these delicacies again!" Qingyan didn't hesitate; as long as she could eat them, she wouldn't let them go to waste.
After all, all their actions were subject to Kangxi's command.
"Father should be able to use more!" Qingyan said as he ate the hot pot. In fact, apart from a few kinds of wild vegetables, the rest were dried goods that they had collected locally.
Yin nodded. These dishes had been carefully prepared by the Imperial Kitchen. Previously, so much money had been taken from the Ministry of Revenue, and the vast majority of it had been spent on food.
"This is considered good. Before, during the autumn harvest, apart from those roasted foods, there wasn't a single vegetable in sight." Seeing Qingyan's disgusted expression, Yin quickly recounted the past.
Every time Qiu Mi returned, the imperial physicians would be busy for a long time, and every prince who went hunting would develop mouth ulcers.
"My God, those leaders aren't eating vegetables anymore?" Qingyan exclaimed in surprise.
Yin nodded. At this time, the vegetables were mostly transported from Jiangnan. Apart from people of high status, how many people could actually eat them?
“The wild vegetables you found, the people here basically don’t eat them!” Yin patted Qingyan’s little face to reassure her.
When they arrived, it was just the beginning of summer. They found a lot of wild vegetables to eat. Because the temperature on the grassland was very cool, she found some dandelions on a small hillside.
These foods are also available in the capital, but they only appear in the spring.
"Dandelion is good for clearing heat, and it's also delicious in salads~" Qingyan likes dandelion. Back in modern times, she would go to the supermarket to buy dandelion whenever it was in season, as well as shepherd's purse. If it weren't for the low temperature, these things wouldn't grow at the right time.
"Mmm, it's really good!" Yin felt a warmth in his heart as he ate the wood ear mushrooms that Qingyan had specially prepared.
When Qingyan went out, she took meticulous care of him. Compared with the Third and Fifth Prince's wives, she was living the most comfortable life. Her sister-in-law was the oldest and had been through a lot with her brother, so she was definitely more thoughtful than Qingyan and the others.
"Let's have barbecue tonight!" she said, pouting her little mouth. Today, she had specially asked Sulan to soak a lot of wood ear mushrooms, and when making hot pot, she also killed a lot of chickens to make broth.
"Roasted meat?!" Yin muttered dejectedly. "Haven't you had enough since we came from the grasslands?"
Yin doesn't like roasted meat, but he'd be okay with some vegetables.
"There are also grilled vegetables. When we came here, I specially bought a lot of chives, as well as some fresh seafood!" Qingyan thought that it would be best to keep it a secret from others if they had something they could use.
She looked around, took some still-dripping kelp strips and seaweed, and threw them directly into the spicy pot.
He stared at the little guy in astonishment. For the sake of this mouth, Qingyan was willing to go against his own wishes.
"Alright, let's eat roast meat!" Kangxi only needed to have some food to improve his dinner, and the rest they would eat together.
Qingyan nodded, quite satisfied with Sisi's decision. He was getting more and more into the game.
After finishing his lunch, he was covered in sweat, and he felt really comfortable!
"Wait a minute before reading, go inside and wash up first!" Qingyan whispered in Yin's ear, tying ropes to all the carriage windows so that no one outside could see inside, and even if it was windy, they couldn't open the windows.
After dragging Sisi into the space, Qingyan went into the hot spring. On the white jade lotus leaf, there appeared apple juice, which Qingyan liked.
"You've prepared quite a lot." As Yin passed by the stream, he saw a lot of fish and shrimp. Fortunately, each of the shamanic vessels was kept separately.
A poor family on the road, but a rich one!
This is something the elderly have always believed in. When people travel, they definitely need to prepare more things. It's fortunate that she has this storage place; otherwise, they might have suffered a lot along the way.
All the best things, such as ice, were reserved for Emperor Kangxi. The princes, including Yinzhi, had to wait for Kangxi and the imperial concubines.
"Little darling, thank goodness you're here!" Yin felt very comfortable soaking in the hot spring, and the sweat from the hot pot meal had dissipated.
"Hehe, that's for sure." Qingyan raised her little face, looking at Yin with a proud expression.
She lay on the edge of the pond, looking at the medicinal herbs in the herb field. Those were the herbs that Yin had prepared to keep to save his life, and he would never give them to anyone else.
"Let's go out after we've washed up; it's still daytime." Yin was worried that Kangxi would come looking for him.
Qingyan shook his head. During the lunch break, Kangxi and Consort Tong would definitely not look for him.
"You've finished washing up, but you're reading. I brought an ice pop!" Qingyan whispered to Yin.
In the days leading up to leaving the mansion, Qingyan made a lot of milk popsicles using the oldest method. These were all placed in the empty refrigerator and showed no signs of melting.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin hugged Qingyan's little face and kissed her. This little guy really understood her too well.
"Ugh, aren't you hot?" Qingyan rolled her eyes twice, wiped her cheeks, and looked at Yin with obvious disgust.
Yin laughed heartily; of course, it wasn't hot anymore.
"Little Darling, we'll use these things when it's just the two of us!" Yindu was selfish and didn't want outsiders to talk about Little Darling. When Qingyan prepared food for Kangxi, he didn't care much about taking care of Yindu and the others. The food that Qingyan prepared in private was filial piety for Kangxi and Consort Tong, and loving care for Songkelierha. As for others, giving was a good intention, and not giving was his right.
Tatara is definitely not a good person; if you don't give it to her, she'll definitely gossip. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
