The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

Hongxia Valley, as the name suggests, the leaves inside are all red. The leaves in other places outside are all yellow and fallen, and the branches are bare, but this is not the case in Hongxia Valley.

The main reason is that the terrain here is not very cold. Most of the trees planted here are ginkgo and maple trees. The colors of golden and crimson are everywhere. It looks like a painting and is very beautiful.

There are also houses in the distance that are perfect for resting. This is definitely a great place for vacation.

As soon as Xiao Wanyue and her group entered, someone was left to greet them. She was still wondering if these people were the villagers here?

Soon her doubts were resolved by the visitor.

Xiao Wanyue saw that it was an acquaintance, her mother Feng Qingluan. She didn't realize that this was Feng Qingluan's place. Now she could play with peace of mind.

Xiao Wanyue asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

Feng Qingluan said with a smile: "I bought this a long time ago. Now it has become a scenic spot. When I heard you were coming, I turned away all the visitors from outside."

Xiao Wanyue: "Thank you, mother."

Zheng Tiaodi and Zhao Jingyu, who were standing nearby, also stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Princess/Auntie."

Feng Qingluan also greeted the two of them warmly: "No need to be so polite, let's go in first and talk."

Xiao Wanyue and a few others entered Hongxia Valley. The surrounding scenery was really beautiful, and there were many yellow persimmons hanging on the branches.

Xiao Wanyue suddenly felt a little greedy. She thought that she must pick some persimmons to eat later. They must taste unique.

There are chrysanthemums blooming on the roadside. I have to say that this place is a bit like a paradise.

Plucking chrysanthemum under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.

Some fields are also planted with green and white vegetables that look very delicious.

Especially the side dishes are the most delicious in winter. Boil the water, add a little lard and cook the vegetables, then make a dipping sauce and it will surely be a delicious dish.

It’s so nice to drink a sip of warm vegetable soup.

The houses are lined up in rows and look very peaceful. Xiao Wanyue thinks this place is really leisurely and she really wants to live here for a long time.

Zheng Tiaodi and the others also felt that this place was really beautiful and could calm their inner restlessness when they were feeling upset.

She must have felt very comfortable sleeping, as it was so quiet and not very cold. You should know how cold it was when she was in the general's mansion, and she had to put two braziers in the room.

Feng Qingluan arranged three connected rooms for them. Her own room was next to Xiao Wanyue, so she could go to Xiao Wanyue to chat when she was bored.

It's just her and Yun'er living here, and it's quite boring.

It’s so much more lively now with so many people around, haha, I’m so happy.

Xiao Wanyue and the others didn't know that Feng Qingluan was thinking this way.

Xiao Wanyue packed up her things. He Chuan and Xiaochun were still with her. She went to find Feng Qingluan and said that she wanted to pick some vegetables for hot pot. Feng Qingluan agreed, and then Xiaochun took the basket and went to pick vegetables.

He Chuan followed her. Xiao Wanyue's target had always been the persimmons on the tree. She also took a basket and went out, found a not very tall tree and prepared to climb up.

As a result, He Liu next to her flew up all of a sudden, and Xiao Wanyue failed before she could even use her tree-climbing skills.

Xiao Wanyue watched He Liu pick a few persimmons with one hand. They were the kind that were very soft and rotten and exuded an attractive sweetness. Just looking at them made her appetite grow.

As soon as He Liu came down, he carefully placed the persimmons in Xiao Wanyue's basket, fearing that the persimmons would break at the next moment.

Fortunately, the skins of these persimmons were very strong, so the persimmons did not fall apart.

Xiao Wanyue couldn't let it go. She wanted to find a straw so that she could put the persimmon flesh into her mouth.

Thinking of this, she quietly took out two straws from the space, gave one to He Liu, then squeezed the persimmon herself, waited until the flesh inside became soft before inserting the straw and taking a sip.

It was indeed delicious, the sweetness of the flesh bursting in her mouth, just like drinking juice.

He Liu was also a little curious. She followed Xiao Wanyue's actions and squeezed the persimmon until it was soft before inserting the straw. She took a sip and her eyes lit up. This way of eating it was really delicious.

Xiao Wanyue sat on the wooden chair next to her and drank persimmon wine. After thinking about it, she felt that she should pick some more to eat.

After she finished smoking, she put down what she was holding and wanted to climb the tree. But before she could climb up, He Liu rushed in front of her again.

In a short while, they picked more than ten fruits. Xiao Wanyue was satisfied because everyone had something to eat.

Xiao Wanyue said to He Liu, "He Liu, your Qinggong is really good. The persimmons are not even peeled after being picked. I wish I had this skill."

He Liu smiled and said, "Miss, practicing martial arts is very hard. I have practiced for many years to achieve what I have today."

Xiao Wanyue: "I can't learn it now even if I want to."

He Liu: "Yes, Qinggong should be practiced from a young age. You have missed the best time to practice martial arts at your age."

Xiao Wanyue just complained a little. In fact, she also knew that once people reached a certain age, they could no longer learn martial arts.

After all, everyone has a critical period, and once it's passed, it's hard to make up for it.

After picking the persimmons, Xiao Wanyue went back, and He Liu returned to his residence with the basket.

When the two returned to their residence, Xiaochun had already picked all the vegetables. They were all lush and green and looked delicious. Xiao Wanyue felt that she was born a foodie, otherwise how could she be so good at it.

Xiao Wanyue asked Xiaochun to find two maids to help her process the ingredients while she went to make a hot pot base.

When she came to the kitchen, she remembered that she should ask if there were any ingredients for hot pot base in the kitchen. What if there were none?

She went in to try her luck and unexpectedly found the ingredients inside.

She sorted out the spices. Although some of them were not available, it did not prevent her from replacing them with other things. When she was picking persimmons, she found a lot of spices and picked some at random.

Light the fire, heat the pot and pour in oil, then add onion, ginger, garlic and spices, simmer on low heat until the aroma is thoroughly stimulated, remove the residue and add chili and bean paste, and a spicy aroma will hit you.

After the base ingredients were cooked, she stewed a pot of broth on the side and waited for the broth to be served.

But she was not idle either. Seeing that there was a lot of meat in the kitchen, including pork, chicken, and lamb tripe, she washed them, cut them, and put them on a plate.

He Liu and the others were asked to bring out all the dishes, the charcoal fire was lit, the pot was put in place, everyone gathered, and the dipping sauce was mixed. Everyone started to eat the hot pot consciously.

Xiao Wanyue also brought the persimmons she had picked, and gave one to everyone, along with a straw.

The servants also ate in another room. In winter, the ultimate enjoyment is to have a warm hot pot.

Xiao Wanyue was very unhappy while eating mutton hot pot.

I completely forgot about someone by Daming Lake.

He Jingming had already galloped to Hongxia Valley on his horse. When he arrived, he saw Xiao Wanyue eating hotpot with others, and they were eating very happily.

Xiao Wanyue was so engrossed in eating hotpot that she didn't notice anyone coming in. It was only when Zhao Jingyu bumped into her that she noticed someone coming.

When Xiao Wanyue saw who it was, she subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?"

He Jingming’s: ……………
