"Cancan is right. Giving something to my sister-in-law that she likes is the one that truly cares about her. The meaning behind the pig's trotters and the silver bracelet is the same. There is no difference between them in terms of status." Ji Xiaoju also took over the conversation.

"Isn't the happy smile on my sister-in-law's face when she eats the pig's trotters the best feedback?"

"Really?" asked Qi Lao San.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, take the pig's trotters back and you'll know." Ji Xiaoju nodded.

"Well, can I buy two today?" Teacher Qi said a little embarrassedly, touching the back of his head?

"Okay, we'll close the stall early today, but there's still some left." Ji Xiaoju agreed directly.

"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law. Then I'll have two more pig ears and half a pound of braised lotus root. Just normal spiciness." Qi Lao San's expression changed very quickly.

If he hadn't just been crying so miserably, it would have looked like it was premeditated.

After seeing off the happy Qi Lao San, Ji Xiaoju couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on Gu Liang's waist.

"Oh. Wife, Brother Liu and the others are still here, please give me some face." Gu Liang had no choice but to cooperate.

"Why do you care about these things?" Ji Xiaoju was speechless.

"Then let him show off to me first, as if everyone has a good wife." Gu Liang curled his lips. He also has a wife who treats him super well, the best in the world.

Gu Can covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Liu Fengan and the others were affected by this, but my wife and the others weren’t! We shouldn’t have come this trip!

"Brother Liu and the others are still here!" Ji Xiaoju glared at him and went to prepare the meal. She also took Gu Can away.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Gu Liang's temperament has changed drastically. Although he has only been in school for a few months, he has already developed a scholarly air and looks like a refined scholar.

"You have a good relationship with your sister-in-law. We are so envious of you." Liu Fengan waved his hand.

"I passed by here on my way back to Beijing this time. Firstly, I missed my brother-in-law's cooking skills, and I also wanted to see Cancan. Most importantly, do you know that the recipes for Bobo Chicken, braised food, and egg cake are all treasures that can be passed down from generation to generation?" Liu Fengan said seriously.

"Brother, you are not an outsider. We promised to send you a copy of any delicious food we have, but these are not convenient to store, so we just sent you the recipes directly. Compared with your help to us, these recipes are nothing. I am not the only one who thinks so. Cancan and Xiaoju also think this is a good idea." Gu Liang replied calmly.

At first, they didn't think about it. After so many worlds, they really didn't care about such a simple recipe. Later, they remembered that the emphasis on these crafts and recipes in this era was a bit inappropriate. But thinking about the trustworthy character of Liu Fengan and the others, they didn't care.

"You look smart, but character is the most unreliable thing. I'm very happy that you trust me so much, but you are not allowed to do this in the future. I have destroyed the recipe. They haven't even seen it. If you want to send me food, just send the dried fruits and meat jerky that your sister-in-law made before. You will come to the capital sooner or later, so why don't you give me some delicious food?" Liu Fengan's heart was bleeding.

He didn't know when Gu Liang would be able to come to the capital. He felt uncomfortable when he thought about how long it would take before he could eat these delicious foods.

But he can't ask for other people's family skills just to satisfy his own appetite. The three members of the Gu family are honest, and he, as the eldest brother and adoptive father, can't be so ignorant.

"I've made a note of it. How long can you stay this time, brother? Xiaoju and I will prepare some food for you. Don't worry, brother. I study very hard. I promise that in three to five years, our family will be able to go to Beijing to reunite with you." Gu Liang promised.

"You kid are capable, and I believe in you. We can stay here for three, no, five days. We can stay here for five days." Liu Fengan thought about it and felt that it would not be impossible to hurry up a bit on the way.

"Okay, I understand." Gu Liang saw his tangled look. Without saying anything, he just smiled and agreed. They would just prepare some food that was easy to store for the next few days.

"Dad, Uncle Liu, Uncle Sun, and everyone else, the food is ready. Let's eat." Gu Can knew they were almost done talking, so he came to pass on the message. Because there were so many people, they set up the food in the yard. They had Bobo Chicken and braised food, and they also prepared hot pot.

Everyone arrived in the courtyard, and the sight of the hot pot immediately caught their eye. The red broth seethed, chilies and Sichuan peppercorns bubbling and emitting an alluring aroma. The white broth was as rich as milk, with a rich boney flavor. Fresh ingredients filled the surrounding area: emerald green vegetables dripping with morning dew, and tender slices of meat with crisp texture.

Everyone sat together, laughing and chatting. Ji Xiaoju skillfully placed the ingredients into the pot, and soon the cooked food was scooped out and distributed to everyone's bowls. Liu Fengan took a bite of the hot pot beef and his eyes widened.

"This hot pot is absolutely amazing. Every ingredient is covered in the delicious broth."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Sister-in-law, stop working. Let's do it ourselves. We know how to eat this pot. It tastes better if we cook it ourselves." Liu Fengan looked at Ji Xiaoju who was busy and quickly called out.

"Hurry up and sit down to eat. Big brother and the others are not outsiders. I have cooked everything you like." Gu Liang also pulled Ji Xiaoju to sit down, and slowly gave her a big bowl of her favorite tripe, pig throat, and tooth stems.

"Okay, everyone, eat as much as you want. There are still ingredients in the kitchen. If there are not enough, I will get them." Ji Xiaoju did not hesitate.

"Don't worry, Madam Ji, we won't be polite. Ah, my tripe!" While Zhao Long was talking, the tripe on the chopsticks was pulled away by Wang Zhao.

"Hehe." Wang Zhao started eating proudly. Hmm, this snatched tripe is delicious! He didn't eat honestly, which made him look like a fool! He deserved it!

Master Sun, his face flushed red as he ate, gasping for air from the spiciness, yet he couldn't bear to put down his chopsticks. He couldn't handle spicy food, but he had a special liking for the hot pot. The setting sun cast its afterglow, illuminating this group of happy people and creating a warm atmosphere.

Food is always the best way to deepen relationships. After this hotpot meal, the slight unfamiliarity between everyone after several months of separation disappeared in an instant, and they became closer.

Their small courtyard could not accommodate so many people. After dinner, Liu Fengan and the others returned to the inn with their bags and could have an extra meal in the evening.

The next day, Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju set up their stall next to the steamed bun shop and entrusted Gu Can and the stall to Qi Lao San and his wife. They also prepared some extra food that was easy to store for Liu Feng An and the others.

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone break your rules." Qi Lao San patted his chest and promised.

The food he brought back yesterday made everyone in the family very happy, especially his wife. She was particularly happy last night and was particularly gentle to him. She was very cooperative when doing things between husband and wife, and they had a very wonderful night.

My wife praised him for being so great!

Sure enough, Cancan was right. The intention behind buying the pig's trotters was the same as the silver bracelet! His wife even liked it better.

I'm helping to look after the stall today. Nothing else matters, as long as I can sell more for him, that would be great. My wife loves it, my kids love it, and he loves it too!
