After everyone sat down, Jiang Yi put the tea away and left.
"Girl, why are you reluctant to invite me into the main house? Why are you in the side room?" Xue Zhong asked directly.
Xue Qing glanced at Wu Yu, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across Wu Yu's face.
Xue Zhong looked at the expressions of the two people, picked up the teacup and sipped gently.
Xue Qing pursed her lips and said, "It's not very clean. I'll buy a new house in a few days. Then the old man will come to warm up the house for me."
Xue Zhong's eyes lit up: "Anyang is a very nice place. I plan to buy a house here so that I can stay here often in the future."
Xue Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why does the old man like Anyang County so much?"
Xue Zhong's eyes sparkled: "There are more delicious foods here than in Beijing."
There was a complex look in Wu Yu's eyes. He could feel that Mr. Xue treated Qing'er differently. Could it be that the old man knew Qing'er's true life experience?
Then why don't you recognize her?
"I was born and raised here. This time I went out and saw the vast territory of the Great Zhou. I am now longing for the capital. I want to see how prosperous the capital of the Great Zhou is."
Xue Qing's face was full of longing.
And Wu Yu stared at Xue Zhong closely.
Xue Zhong nodded: "The capital city is indeed very prosperous"
Xue Qing suddenly realized something: "Hey, old man, I remember you are from Beijing! Why don't you invite me to visit your home?"
Xue Zhong didn't expect that Xue Qing was actually his own family.
Wu Yu actually saw a hint of panic in Xue Zhong's eyes. Yes, a hint of panic. Although it only flashed by, Wu Yu still caught it.
Xue Qing also saw it.
Xue Zhong hid his emotions in his eyes and said: "When I return to the capital from my travels, I will definitely invite you to my home as a guest."
Xue Qing stretched out his hand: "Then it's settled! Pinky Promise."
Xue Qing's innocent and cute look touched Xue Zhong's heart, and he stretched out his little finger to make a pinky promise with Xue Qing.
"Today I will cook you some dishes that you can't even eat in Youranju. When we get to your house next time, please don't be stingy."
Xue Qing said mischievously.
Xue Zhong laughed and said, "I am so lucky to have a good meal today. I will definitely give you the most precious one when the time comes."
Xue Qingkong touched the non-existent beard on his chin with his empty hand: "Well... I'm determined to make you my friend!"
Wu Yu's eyelids twitched.
Xue Qing wrote a list and asked Jiang Yi to go to Youranju to get the ingredients.
Let Ding take Liu Zhaodi to clean up the kitchen.
Liu has changed a lot compared to last year. Her clothes and facial expression are different from those of an ordinary peasant woman.
When Liu came to the east wing to greet Xue Zhong, Xue Zhong looked at Liu's face and felt a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
When Liu saw Xue Zhong looking at her, she quickly lowered her head. Xue Qing looked at Xue Zhong and thought to herself, "Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Liu?"
"Ahem, mother, please go and see Tianqing and Xiu'er." Xue Qing directly sent Liu out.
Xue Zhong came back to his senses, frowned slightly, and seeing that Liu had already left the wing room, he asked Wu Yu, "Is Madam Wu from the capital?"
Wu Yu shook his head: "The Wu family's ancestral home is Shilibao, Anyang"
Xue Qing: "Grandpa, I've never heard you talk about your family before."
Xue Zhong smiled and said: "I don't have many family members, my wife, a son and his wife, two grandsons and a granddaughter."
“You can bring your family to Anyang for a short stay next time,” Xue Qing invited directly.
Wu Yu glanced at Xue Qing. As a man of the Wu family, he naturally had to stay with Grandpa Xue today.
Xue Qing asked Jiang Yi to go to Youranju to get a set of copper pots and ingredients. Of course, the most important thing was the sesame seeds he brought back from the Western Regions.
Although he didn't kidnap anyone last time, the materials he bought in Xinyue were still there, so Cheng Niu arranged for everyone to be safely sent back to Youranju.
When Shopkeeper Xie received these goods, he placed them very carefully in the study of Youran Ju.
There was a recipe inside, and Shopkeeper Xie made two bottles of sesame paste according to the recipe.
After putting it away, wait for Xue Qing to come back.
So this time, let Xue Zhong try something new.
Jiang Yiliu and Ding were both very skilled at making hotpot. Wu Yu was responsible for burning firewood and making charcoal, while Xue Qing only took out the sesame paste to mix it.
Xue Zhong smelled the aroma of sesame paste and asked, "What is this? I have never seen it before."
Xue Qing raised his eyebrows, somewhat proudly: "This is what I bought from the Western Regions this time, it's called sesame, and then I ground it into a sauce."
She dipped a little with chopsticks and gave it to Xue Zhong. The old man took it and put it in his mouth: "Hmm... fragrant, very unique taste"
Xue Qingte made a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes with green peppers, and made mashed potatoes for the three children.
He took out a jar of wine from the space: "Old man, there is only one jar of wine here, don't drink too much"
Xue Qing simply asked everyone to eat at the same table, but of course Liu Zhaodi was not allowed to eat at the table.
Liu Zhaodi was in the second room serving Xue Zhong's servants and guards while they had meals.
Xue Zhong asked a few questions about Wu Qian's studies and praised him, saying, "You are a teachable boy!"
"How do you eat this?" Xue Zhong was very curious.
Xue Qing simply introduced it like a waiter: "This is called hot pot. In order to cater to different tastes, this pot is divided into two parts. One side is for clear soup base, and the other side is for spicy soup base. Just put whatever you want in and cook it."
Xue Qing picked up the big bowl of sesame paste and said, "This is called sesame paste. It is a kind of food I brought back from my trip to the Western Regions. Of course, this is made by Youranju. I am only responsible for stirring it. After any ingredients are cooked, put them here and stir them."
Xue Qing demonstrated by taking a big bite and enjoying the sesame paste with his eyes closed.
I haven't eaten sesame paste hotpot for a year.
Seeing Xue Qing's intoxicated expression, everyone couldn't help but want to try it.
Liu smiled and tugged at Xue Qing's clothes: "Qing'er"
Xue Qing opened his eyes and saw everyone looking at him: "Don't look at me, eat quickly!"
Wu Yu accompanied Xue Zhong while drinking and chatting.
This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.
An hour ago, Jiang Yi went to Youran Ju to find Shopkeeper Xie to get ingredients and pots.
Shopkeeper Xie brought Jiang Yi directly to Zhou Qian. After Jiang Yi entered, Shopkeeper Xie closed the door and stood guard 3 meters outside.
Jiang Yi knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"
"Get up." Zhou Qian put down the book in his hand and said in a flat voice.
"Yes" Jiang Yi stood up and stood aside.
Zhou Qian's eyes were cold, and his voice was cold: "I will record this mistake first, and I will settle accounts with you if you make it again."
Jiang Yi knelt down again: "I know I was wrong."
“You can see something unusual”
"For some unknown reason, Wu Yu suddenly came to the border. He escorted Qing'er all the way back to Anyang County. This afternoon, the two of them talked in the room..."
Zhou Qian swung his arm and the teacup on the table flew out and fell right under Jiang Yi's feet.
Jiang Yi knelt down again: "Qing'er asked me to take care of the child, so I don't know what they talked about."
