We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

"What a courageous girl!"

Seeing this, Mu Feng just shook his head and looked at her lovingly.

But the horse was indeed very well behaved. After having seen Uncle Cai's carriage, it naturally knew that the other carriage was theirs.

Mu Feng stepped forward, took her hand and said, "Let's go back to the house. It's cold outside. We'll have a good look another day. The two big brothers are still waiting for us!"

Oh, I was so excited that I almost forgot to entertain you.

Luo Yu pulled her hand away, walked over and said embarrassedly: "Two big brothers, come back to the house with me and warm up your bodies!"

Having said that, he walked back home first and opened the gate.

When Luo Ci saw them coming back, she ran out with a smile on her face: "Sister, you are finally back. I almost wanted to go out and look for you."

Luo Yu picked her up and said softly, "Are you done playing with the rabbit?"

"Well, Rabbit won't talk to me!" Luo Ci said as he turned back to accuse Rabbit.

A rabbit...

Luo Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and pinched her nose lovingly and said, "You still like it even if you can't speak. We have guests at home, go make tea with sister!"

As he spoke, he took Luo Ci to the kitchen. Mu Feng took them to tie up the carriage in the yard first, and then took them back to the house.

There is a heated kang in the room, and you can feel the warmth as soon as you enter the house.

"Ah, it's still a warm bed. Thanks to my brother, my home was built some time ago. My mother is very happy and praises me for being filial to everyone she meets. Fortunately, I am thick-skinned, otherwise I would be embarrassed to death if I heard such praise!"

Mu Feng also smiled. He heard that Brother Shu and his friends went to the town to build heated kangs for Uncle Cai and Uncle Li's homes. The servants who had visited their homes praised the heated kangs to the skies.

This brought a lot of orders to Brother Shu and his team. Before the construction in the village was even completed, people in the town had already lined up, waiting for them to build their heated kangs!

When the head of the village heard such good news, he was so proud that he walked around the village with his head held high, telling everyone he met that he hadn't seen his son for a long time and that everyone was busy building heated kangs for the families who needed them!

The families in the village who built the heated kang together are all proud of it and get together from time to time; but the families who did not build it together suffer. They used to show off a lot, and now they avoid each other, which is very annoying!

Luo Yu came in with some hot food soon, poured it for them, and then took Luo Ci out to check on their own carriage.

"Ah Ci, we have a carriage now. I'll take you to see it."

"Is that Ah Ci's carriage?"

"Yes, it was sent by the two big brothers today. Look, it's that one. Do you like it, Ah Ci?"

"like!"

Luo Ci excitedly replied that she liked it and clapped her hands, but when she got closer and saw the horses, she needed to look up at them, but they were too tall and mighty for her, so she stepped back slightly.

Luo Yu was able to observe the horse carefully now. He found that the horse was one of the best in appearance. The carriage and shed were also quite new. It had probably not been used for a few years, and the previous owner had loved it very much!

She was still sighing when Mu Feng came over and said, "Go up and sit some other day. It's cold today because it's snowing."

As he said this, he took her hand and carried Luo Ci back to the house.

Luo Yu sat down and said, "Brother He Gui, this carriage should cost a lot of silver!"

Brother He Gui raised his head and said calmly, "It's not expensive. You...the silver you gave is enough."

At this time, a servant interrupted and said, "This carriage originally belonged to a wealthy family in the county, but somehow they sold a lot of their property, including this carriage. The shopkeeper found out and bought it!"

"How much silver did you spend on it? Do you want us to pay more silver?" Mu Feng asked honestly.

The servant smiled, took out some silver from his purse, handed it to Mu Feng, and said, "This is what the shopkeeper asked me to return to you. The horse and the carriage are worth ninety taels in total. The horse is just four and a half years old, almost an adult, and an upright young man. The carriage shed has only been used by the owner for two years, and I heard it's not often used, so it can be considered quite new."

"But don't worry, the horse is very docile. I knew that when I was driving the horse yesterday."

Mu Feng bowed and said, "Thank Uncle Cai for me. You don't have to return the money. Just consider it as a thank you gift for him buying such a nice carriage for us!"

The servant stuffed the silver into Mu Feng's hands and said, "Shopkeeper Cai knew you would say that, but he warned me again and again that if I don't return it, he will punish me severely. Brother Mu, please accept it quickly!"

Luo Yu understood and said gently: "Then we will accept it. We will go to thank Uncle Cai in person some other day. I wonder how Uncle Cai and Aunt He are doing these days?"

He Gui said, "My sister is fine. She has a heated bed this year, so she doesn't...she doesn't cough anymore. My sister...my brother-in-law is...planning a new store today, so he's...very busy!"

Luo Yu smiled and said, "But are you busy with the hot pot restaurant?"

“Exactly…exactly!”

Luo Yu knew that Uncle Cai would not be idle, so he was looking for a suitable store.

The cooperation has been finalized, but they haven't discussed the details in depth yet.

After sitting for a while, Mu Feng chatted with them, and Luo Yu went out to make lunch. They braved the heavy snow to send them the carriage and helped move the vegetable jars, so they had to have lunch!

If you eat other things on a snowy day, the food will get cold if you eat slowly. If you have charcoal fire at home, you can cook it to make it taste better.

The only meat dishes were pickled at home, and there was no fresh meat for hot pot, so we cooked them. Fortunately, we still had pickled chicken and pork at home.

Luo Yu cooked the soup base and then poured the meat in to cook, as well as the radish. The vegetables could be eaten while cooking.

Only half an hour later, Luo Yu had finished cooking.

Although there was no heated kang in the kitchen, it wasn't cold because there was a fire burning; but Luo Yu still lit a brazier and placed it under the table so that the food would not be cold.

After everything was ready, Luo Yu called Luo Ci: "Ah Ci, go to the main room and ask the brothers to come down for dinner, okay?"

When Luo Ci heard this, he put down the firewood in his hand and ran out.

Luo Yu had no choice but to remind her to run slower from behind!

Arriving at the main room, Luo Ci slowly moved into Mu Feng's arms and whispered, "Brother, sister said it's time for dinner!"

Mu Feng heard it clearly and whispered softly, "Ah Ci, are you here to call us for dinner? You're so good!"

After praising Luo Ci, he said to them: "Luo Yu has prepared the food, let's go eat! Let's talk while we eat."

They did not refuse. They had heard from others that Luo Yu’s cooking was delicious, and today they finally had the chance to catch up.

Seeing them coming, Luo Yu hurried over to greet them: "Hurry up and sit down to eat. It's too cold, so I prepared some casually. I hope you don't mind!"

Brother He Gui and the servant saw that what Luo Yu had prepared was very rich. The pot was full of meat and there were vegetables on the side.

"Hurry up and sit down! Eat the meat in the pot first, and then add vegetables when you want to cook them."

The servant smiled innocently and said, "I've heard Shopkeeper Cai talk about this young lady's cooking skills a long time ago, and today I finally get to enjoy it!"

"Then hurry up and serve!"
