It was just the beginning of autumn when they traveled through time, but now it is already deep winter. Yun Qingyao has slowly become accustomed to this kind of life. The master and servant are self-sufficient in Qingxiao Garden, and their life is quite stable.

Of course, the things in Qingxiaoyuan were not enough for their three meals a day. Yun Qingyao often took them out secretly from the space. Yun Qingyao would also sneak out to sell some herbs and use the money she earned to buy some rice, flour and meat.

Cai'er would feel strange once or twice, but after a while she got used to it. Fortunately, everyone was wary of Yun Qingyao's identity as a bad girl, so no one was willing to step in here unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yun Qingyao was very satisfied with this.

As expected, a blessing in disguise!

Sometimes, the identity of a bad girl is very useful.

Besides, the war was intense at the front and the food and fodder from the court was slow to arrive. Bai Qianyu had to put a lot of thought into preparing food and fodder for the soldiers. Not to mention returning to the palace, he even dreamed about collecting food at night.

As for Yun Qingyao, who was thrown into Qingxiao Garden by his order, he probably had forgotten about her long ago.

The servants in Prince Yi's Mansion certainly wouldn't care about the Crown Prince's Consort, even though Bai Qianyu, the Crown Prince himself, had forgotten about her. Everyone had already ignored her as the unappreciated future Crown Prince's Consort.

Not to mention asking for instructions, no one even cares about three meals a day. This is a good thing for Yun Qingyao. God knows how comfortable their lives are.

The originally dilapidated and deserted little courtyard is now completely different from what it used to be. Except for the few houses that had collapsed, everything else has changed a long time ago. The land that was once overgrown with weeds, Yun Qingyao also asked Cai'er to build a shed covered with thick thatch, which is filled with various green leafy vegetables.

Other people's leafy vegetables are not frost-resistant, but Yun Qingyao's leafy vegetables are grown in space, and Yun Qingyao also uses space water to water them from time to time. Although this space water has no obvious effect on people, it is the life fluid of plants. The leafy vegetables watered with space water are not afraid of freezing at all, just like the plum blossoms that bloom proudly in the snow. The colder the weather, the better they grow. The whole piece is green, which is so pleasing to the eye.

In this cold and desolate city, this place is simply a paradise that makes people salivate.

Fortunately, no one usually comes here, otherwise, their titanium alloy eyes would be blinded.

At this time, Yun Qingyao was curled up in the warm bed, holding a notebook that she had found from somewhere, and reading it very attentively!

There was a roaring fire in the room. Beside the fire, Cai'er stopped her needlework, looked up at the gray sky outside the window, and said thoughtfully.

"Miss, it's so cold today. It looks like it's going to snow. I don't know when the war on the border will stop. It's really frustrating!"

"Well, it's good to have snow. When it snows, we can eat hot pot!"

When she thought of the delicious spicy hot pot, Yun Qingyao couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She didn't want to interfere with the war on the border.

After all, she was not a native of this interface, and she did not have much affection for them, nor did she have much sense of belonging. After all, apart from Cai'er, she had no other relatives, so what was there for her to worry about?

What she is really worried about is what to eat tonight?

Hot pot in winter is her favorite.

"Miss, what is hot pot? Why do we have to eat it on a snowy day? Can't we eat hot pot in summer?" Cai'er asked in confusion.

"Well, I don't know how to explain this. Actually, it's not that you can't eat it in the summer. It's just that there's no air conditioning or cooling here in the summer. I don't think you would want to eat it!

How about this, let's eat hotpot later. Instead of explaining it to you, it would be better for you to experience it yourself!"

According to Cai'er, Yun Qingyao found it hard to imagine the scene of sitting in front of a red spicy hot pot on a hot day, wiping the sweat off her face while eating.

However, it is just right now. Fortunately, Yun Qingyao had already thought of it when she went out shopping last time. She not only prepared a lot of ingredients for hot pot base, but also specially bought a not-so-big copper pot. Now, it is just right to use it to make hot pot.

Just do it. There are a lot of green leafy vegetables in the greenhouse anyway, and there are a few big bones bought yesterday in the kitchen. It's just right to use them to make broth. Then fry some meatballs and get some green leafy vegetables to eat while cooking.

"Oh, no, I can't think about it anymore. If I think about it, my mouth will start to water."

Yun Qingyao raised her hand to wipe the non-existent saliva, muttering to herself.

"Miss, is that hot pot really that delicious?"

Seeing her young lady's look, Cai'er asked a little puzzled.

"Cai'er, when have I ever lied to you? Well, let's hurry up and eat tonight. Let me prepare the base for the pot, and you go to the yard to get some vegetables. Bring more of each. If you don't, there won't be enough to eat later."

"Okay, I'll go get the food ready. Miss, why don't you light a fire first and wait for me to get the food ready before you clean the bottom of the pot. It's so dirty!"

"No, I have to make the base of the pot myself. You can learn how to do it first. When you learn how to do it, you can make it for me next time."

"Miss, no problem!"

Cai'er responded readily. Come to think of it, she didn't even know what a hot pot was, so how could she know how to cook it? However, Cai'er couldn't understand why the young lady only needed the base of the pot. How could she cook with just the base of the pot?

However, Cai'er did not ask any more questions, for she was afraid that her mistress would dislike her for being too stupid. What if she got angry and didn't want her anymore?

In this way, Cai'er was responsible for preparing the raw materials for the hot pot, while Yun Qingyao was responsible for making the base of the pot, which is the broth. The two had clear division of labor and reasonable arrangements.

An hour later, when Yun Qingyao placed a red and fragrant hot pot in front of Cai'er, the latter was stunned.

It turns out that this thing can be eaten like this!

"Cai'er, open your mouth!"

Yun Qingyao picked up a meatball, blew on it, and put it directly into Cai'er's mouth.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"Wow, it's delicious, Miss, you should eat it too!"

Cai'er squinted her eyes happily while eating.

You really don’t know until you try it, and once you try it, you can’t stop.

"Miss, this hot pot smells so good. I have never seen you eat it before. How did you come up with this idea?" Cai'er asked curiously while exclaiming.

"Well, can I tell you that this is what your young lady did when she was dreaming? Look at what others did?"

Yun Qingyao made up something nonsense.

"Ah, really, Miss, you are so amazing. You can make such a delicious hot pot in a dream. Miss is worthy of being a Miss. I dream every day, but I can't have such a good dream!"

Cai'er believed Yun Qingyao's words without thinking.

In her heart, the young lady is the best lady in the world and her lifelong master.

How could Yun Qingyao not feel distressed for Cai'er like this!

"Cai'er, if you eat it with this dipping sauce, it will be really delicious!"

"Miss, what is this? Is it better than hot pot?" Cai'er asked puzzledly.

"Haha, of course, this is the soul of hot pot. Spicy hot pot with dipping sauce, one bite will definitely make you a foodie.

Oh, and here's my special drink. Try it. If you like it, I'll make more next time."

Yun Qingyao poured Cai'er another cup of homemade drink, which moved Cai'er to tears. She was just a little maid, how could she have the honor to have her own mistress prepare food for her.

Whoa whoa whoa!

She is truly the happiest person in the world, no doubt about it.

The red charcoal fire, the boiling hot pot, and the rich aroma drifting far away.

Just when the master and servant were enjoying their meal, a small, thin figure slowly walked towards Qingxiaoyuan.
