Jing Li could only do as he was told.
He rushed in and out several times and finally brought all the cut vegetables into the yard. When he came back, Qin Zhao had already finished preparing the soup base.
Qin Zhao ladled the soup base into the copper pot and added some chopped garlic and ginger slices. Jing Li watched his skillful movements and asked curiously, "Have you seen this before?"
"Hmm?" Qin Zhao asked, "What is it?"
"That's it! It's called hot pot. Is there any in Beijing?"
Jing Li had never seen this way of eating in this era, but the weather had been good these days, which was perfect for eating mutton hotpot, so he suddenly had an idea and wanted to let Qin Zhao try a new way of eating.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "I have never heard of this name."
"Then how could you do it?"
"It's just a little seasoning on the soup you cooked. It's not difficult." Qin Zhao said calmly.
Jing Li: “…”
Okay.
There is probably nothing in this world that Qin Zhao doesn't know, and he should have understood this a long time ago.
The copper pot is brought into the yard, placed on the stove and boiled, and then a few chairs are moved around the boiler, and then the meat can be cooked.
The little fish was so tempted by the smell that he couldn't sit still. Unfortunately, his arms and legs were too short to reach anything when he sat on the chair. He could only wait for others to feed him.
Fortunately, he had an uncle named Aqi who loved him very much and kept picking food for him, never letting his bowl be empty.
"Are you cold? Do you want me to get you another blanket?" Jing Li was a little worried about Qin Zhao's health.
The wind is not strong today, but it will still be cold if you sit in the yard for a long time. If you catch a cold just because of this meal, it will not be worth it.
"It's not cold." Qin Zhao said, "It's very warm."
They sat around the fire. The mutton soup had the effect of dispelling the cold, and with the addition of various spicy spices, after eating this meal, they would feel warm from head to toe.
In the face of delicious food, Jing Li was very restrained today. He moved closer to Qin Zhao, attentively picked up a piece of meat for him, and asked, "How did I cook?"
"It's okay." Qin Zhao had just finished speaking when he saw his husband's eyebrows drooping. He quickly added, "I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it." Jing Li immediately smiled again and said, "I've been very capable recently."
Qin Zhao's eyes moved, and he vaguely realized something.
Jing Li added, "Also, I've already bought everything you need. Everything is made according to your requirements, so there will be absolutely no mistakes. You can check it out later."
These things are naturally what Qin Zhao needs to meet the little emperor.
The ancestral worship ceremony was in two days, and according to the court's arrangement, the young emperor would leave the capital tomorrow. Qin Zhao planned to take this opportunity to meet with the young emperor, so he would also leave the capital tomorrow.
For the past half month, Qin Zhao has been preparing for this plan, but...
"Xiao Yu." Qin Zhao put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Even if you try to please me again, I won't agree to take you there."
No matter how perfect the plan is, there are still risks involved. Qin Zhao does not intend to take Jing Li to take risks.
This person had been tormenting him for several days, using every possible means.
Sure enough, this is the reason for today's diligence.
"Really?" Jing Li softened his voice and begged him in a low voice, "I will be very good and will definitely not delay your business. Just let me pretend to be a guard and follow you."
"no."
Qin Zhao's attitude was unusually firm: "We agreed beforehand that you must obey me in everything in the capital."
"But..." Jing Li opened his mouth.
He knew Qin Zhao was doing this for his own good, but it was too much for him to wait at home alone. He would rather go on an adventure with Qin Zhao than be left alone at home waiting for news.
"Xiao Yu, I can usually give you anything you want, but not this time," Qin Zhao advised. "You know I'm fully prepared. There won't be any danger on this trip. You don't have to worry so much."
"Since there's no danger, why don't you let me follow?"
"Because this isn't a joke, you can't do whatever you want."
