Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Yaoyao narrowed her eyes into crescents and gave her a sweet smile.

Wait until Xiao Ci and the others leave.

Old Mrs. Liu began to instruct the Yuan family to prepare dinner.

Those who wash vegetables wash vegetables, those who kill chickens kill chickens, and those who kill fish kill fish.

The entire Yuan family was busy as hell.

Old Lady Liu then ordered Boss Yuan to go down to the cellar and get out a piece of mutton.

Cut into thin slices and eat when time comes.

When Shen Chulan came back in the afternoon, Old Lady Liu immediately told her that the Lu family was going to have dinner at home.

Shen Chulan didn't even have time to drink her saliva before she went back to the kitchen.

……

When Lu Jiu and the others arrived in the evening, they smelled a rich, fresh, spicy aroma.

The spicy smell was pungent, and people in the yard who were not used to the smell kept sneezing.

"Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu..." Ali sneezed three times in a row.

"Ha Qiu...ha...Qiu..."

Zhang Xin rubbed his nose, trying hard to resist the urge to sneeze again.

Nanny Nan and Yue Yuan had been holding back, as their status did not allow them to do anything indecent in public.

"Ha..." Xiao Ci pinched his nose quickly, holding back the next "autumn", and tears filled his eyes.

Lu Jiu was the only normal person in their group. When he smelled the scent, he felt like he was back home. With a smile on his face, he walked to the main hall and sat down with ease.

"Come and sit down, have a cup of hot water first, Chu Lan will be ready soon." Old Mrs. Liu rubbed her nose, which was quite red.

Lu Jiu and others sat on the chairs. Old Lady Liu poured them a cup of hot water and placed peanuts, melon seeds and peaches in front of them.

"We're having hot pot today, Mr. Lu will probably be familiar with it." Old Lady Liu said with a smile, "We've prepared two pots, one spicy and one non-spicy. The non-spicy one is made with an old hen soup with codonopsis, wolfberry, and red dates. It's so comfortable to eat meat and drink hot soup at the same time."

Lu Jiu: "It's been a while since I've had such authentic hot pot. The smell is extraordinary."

"Of course not. Chu Lan had been cooking this for a long time. The base of white buckwheat glutinous rice, tsaoko, sannai, cloves, licorice, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, garlic, etc., was cooked in lard for a long time. Many customers at Qingshuilou ordered it. The mutton and rabbit hot pot were so delicious."

Old Lady Liu talked endlessly about this, as if she wanted to pour all the ingredients into Lu Jiu's brain.

Lu Jiu, Xiao Ci, Yue Yuan, Nanny Nan and the others smiled as they watched Old Lady Liu talking to them incessantly.

The lively atmosphere makes people forget about the separation tomorrow, and at this moment they are cherishing the scene in front of them.

In the distance, in the village, every villager was pinching their noses and looking towards the Yuan family with tears in their eyes.

"Ha... Qiu..."

"The Yuan family is making this flavor again. It's so spicy that it kills me."

"I can hardly open my eyes because of the spiciness. Oh my god."

"Oh my, it's so fragrant, spicy, and pungent, my nose is about to hurt...ha...qiu."

The villagers stretched their necks to look in the direction of Yuan's house. They could see the white smoke curling up, and it was obvious that there was a lot of activity going on inside.

The Yuan family had already served the hot pot. It had a three-colored cauldron stove, a round top with a bulge in the middle, and two iron plates on either side. Half of the pot was filled with spicy hot pot, and the other half was filled with chicken broth. (I made this up, so don't read into it.)

Plates of thinly sliced ​​pork, lamb, rabbit, fish, roe deer meat, etc. were brought out.

There are also handmade pork balls and fish balls, and the rest are some vegetables.

Pig blood and duck blood are cut into pieces.

The seasonings include sesame salt, peanut oil, soy sauce, chopped green onion, minced garlic, and mushroom sauce.

Lu Jiu was slightly surprised. This was similar to the food in his hometown.

Put a piece of rabbit meat in the pot and blanch it, then dip it in a dish of peanuts and minced garlic. It is spicy and fragrant, and the rabbit meat is fresh and tender.

After eating spicy food, scoop a spoonful of chicken soup to clear your mouth, and you will feel comfortable all over, the coldness in your body will be driven away, and you will feel warm all over.

Old man Yuan took out a jar of Erguotou and poured a bowl for each man at the table. They took a bite of meat and a sip of wine. After a few sips, they started sweating.

A few boys secretly took a piece of mutton from the spicy hot pot and ate it, and were so thirsty from the spiciness that they looked for water to drink.

Picking up the water cup and seeing Xiao Ci eating the roe deer meat in the spicy hot pot without changing his expression, they were filled with the desire to win and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat slices in the spicy hot pot.

Meat slices and meatballs fill your mouth.

It was so spicy that they jumped up and down.

Jumping on the ground.

My mouth turned red from the spiciness and I kept drinking water.

Seeing that they were jumping up and down because of the spicy food, Xiao Ci finally couldn't help it and picked up a glass of water and gulped it down.

Only then did the younger ones realize they had been tricked.

The adults drank and ate meat while watching them compete in eating spicy food. They laughed as they saw them pouring water into their mouths because of the spicy food.

Xiao Ci and a few boys looked at each other and smiled secretly.

The meal was very lively.

Yaoyao woke up from her bed and heard the noisy sounds coming from the main room. She hummed and called out to Xiaohei.

Xiao Hei was eating the meatballs and meat slices in the spicy hot pot that Yuan Laoer had picked up for him in the main room. He was enjoying the meal very much, wagging his tail. After he finished eating, he pushed the bowl in front of Yuan Laoer and asked him to pick up more.

Lu Jiu and Nanny Nan were surprised when they saw this. They didn't expect that this dog ate like a human and would eat everything.

Ali picked up a lot of meat slices and put them into Xiao Hei's bowl, and took the opportunity to stroke its fur.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei stopped eating meat, looked up at Ali, and ran away.

Ali was stunned. Why did the dog dislike him after not seeing him for a while?

I had been pestering him for chicken jerky before.

However, this was just Ali's misunderstanding. Xiao Hei suddenly ran away because he heard his owner calling him.

After a while, Xiao Hei walked into the main room carrying Yaoyao in his mouth.

When Old Lady Liu and Shen Chulan saw this, they hurriedly put down their chopsticks and ran to Yaoyao.

"Oh, my precious granddaughter wakes up, why doesn't she cry a little?" Old Mrs. Liu quickly hugged Yaoyao in her arms.

Shen Chulan went to the house and brought back a thick quilt, wrapping Yaoyao tightly.

Xiao Hei was hit on the head, and he looked up in confusion at the person who hit him.

"Xiao Hei, you are so silly. When Yaoyao woke up, you should have told us. Yaoyao is still young and her clothes are not properly dressed. What if she catches a cold?" Old Mrs. Liu raised her hand and tapped Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei feels wronged. He put on thick clothes for his owner. It’s you who are too nervous, okay?

Xiao Hei was so angry that he turned around and ignored Old Lady Liu, lying on the ground and sobbing angrily.

Old Mrs. Liu realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly handed Yaoyao to Shen Chulan, hugged Xiaohei and said that she was wrong, and then she coaxed Xiaohei.

Yue Yuan looked at Xiao Hei's spiritual eyes and recalled that night when a man and a dog were making a deal with a group of weasels and a green snake under the light of the moon.

Perhaps, they have become wise.

After dinner, everyone said goodbye reluctantly.

Before leaving, Nanny Nan prepared a gift for everyone in the Yuan family.

Cloth, jewelry necklace...

Later, they sent a horse-drawn carriage to the Yuan family, saying that the weather was too cold and they would catch a cold if they sat in the ox-drawn carriage.

Yaoyao gave the jade pendant that she had prepared long ago to Old Lady Liu and asked her to give it to Lu Jiu, Xiao Ci, Yue Yuan, Nanny Nan and others.

She set up a formation on these jade pendants to turn misfortune into good fortune.

When Old Lady Liu put the jade pendants in a wooden box and handed it to Nanny Nan, she specifically told her to open it and look at it after they set off in the morning.
