Chapter 72 Snow Hot Pot and Xiangyun Arrival

God's Capital City.

As the end of the year approaches, another heavy snow falls.

On the roof and at the top of the treetops, there were snow falling like catkins everywhere, cold and clean, and flawless...

In just one night, the entire Shenjing became a snow country on earth.

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest! But if it falls too much, it will not be auspicious snow..."

In the Zhaowu Hou Mansion, Jia Jing stood in front of the window of the study, looking at the snowflakes that were still falling outside, with a serious expression.

"Master, the urgent letter from Liaodong!"

In the heavy snow, there was a white body on Shuanzhu's arm, with only brown spots on his wings and back.

The green feet in Haidong are two feet tall and are huge. On the goose yellow strong claws, there is a small bamboo tube of two inches long and short.

Jia Jing reached out and took out the paper rolled into a small roll from the bamboo tube, spreading it on the table.

A few small characters written in black ink immediately caught Jia Jing's eyes:

"The three guards of Duoyan defected! It is suspected that the remnants of the deposed prince secretly instigated the rebellion!"

After throwing the read letter into the brazier in the room, Jia Jing looked at the note that gradually turned into ashes and sighed, "It's really a troublesome!"

...

"What a handsome bird!"

At the door, Tanchun and Xichun just lifted the curtain and were attracted by Hai Dongqing who was standing on Shuanzhu's arm.

As the most eagle among the eagles, there is no doubt that Hai Dongqing's gods are. In addition, the Hai Dongqing, Shuanzhu, is white all over, which is naturally even more eye-catching.

Xichun is already lively. When she saw Shenjun from Hai Dongqing, she felt that she couldn't love her!

Seeing Xichun still having the intention of going forward to take a closer look, Shuan Zhu hurriedly took two steps back, "Miss Four, this Haidongqing is very fierce, you can't get too close!"

Hearing Shuan Zhu say this, Xichun had to put away the idea of ​​going forward to take a closer look.

"Oh, I almost forgot about the serious business!"

Xichun suddenly remembered the purpose of himself and Tanchun coming here, "Third Brother, everyone came here at your invitation, braved the heavy snow. You are so happy, hiding in the study and not coming out!"

Jia Jing suddenly remembered that he invited everyone to the Hou Mansion to enjoy the snow yesterday.

Even after slapping his head, "Oh, I almost finished my work!"

Xichun gave Jia Jing a blank look, "Brother Jing, you are the host yourself and don't care about it. You still want us to find you..."

"Isn't this a temporary thing to deal with! I just forgot about time."

Seeing this, Tanchun said enthusiastically: "The third brother should pay more attention to the combination of work and rest!"

Upon hearing this, Xichun was also a little embarrassed and said, "Then will we come here, will it delay the third brother's affairs?"

"What's wrong with this?" Jia Jing laughed and said, "Okay, my things are almost done here, hurry up and go there! Today, my third brother will take you some fresh and interesting things!"

Immediately, Jia Jing ordered people to move out Curry's oven and copper hotpot.

“Fresh stuff?”

Xichun and Tanchun followed Jia Jing with doubts and came to the yard at the east end of the Hou Mansion.

In the Dongtou yard, Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Baoyu and others were waiting for Jia Jing.

...

"Gudu Gudu..."

As the red charcoal fire burned, the soup base in the copper pot boiled, and the rich fragrance also rose.

On the oven next to it, the meat skewers with seasonings such as cumin, chili and other seasonings were dripping grease on the top of the charcoal.

The fragrance of hot pot and barbecue filled the yard, making everyone swallow their saliva involuntarily.

"Stop watching, do whatever you want to eat, hurry up and do it yourself!"

Jia Jing greeted everyone standing aside, and at the same time, he divided the prepared dipping sauce for each person.

Seeing that Xichun next to him had already put a few slices of mutton into the pot, he hurriedly pointed out: "Put the slices of meat into the pot and burn them, and you can eat them immediately. Be careful not to burn them too old!"

"Oh, third brother, I haven't eaten antique soup, do I have to teach me everywhere?"

Xichun gave Jia Jing a blank look and pressed the slices of meat on the chopsticks into the hot pot soup base.

Then, seeing that the meat on the chopsticks should be almost cooked, Xichun hurriedly lifted it out of the pot, carefully blew it twice, dipped it gently in the dipping sauce, and stuffed the slices directly into his mouth.

"Hey! It's really good!"

Xichun's eyes lit up, "Come and try it, the antique soup of San Ge is indeed different from what he had eaten before! It is much better than what he had eaten before!"

After hearing Xichun's words, Jia Baoyu was a little disbelief and said, "The taste is really attractive, but is this cooked meat dish that is really that delicious? Are you bragging about it?!"

"If you don't believe it, forget it!" Xichun ignored him and took a chopstick to pick up other meat food next to him.

Xue Baochai, who was next to her, sat down, took a few bites, and nodded, "The taste is indeed far more than the antique soup I have eaten in the past!"

I savored it carefully, "Brother Jing San, have you added other spices to this pot?"

Jia Jing kept flipping the meat skewers on the charcoal fire next to him. When he heard Xue Baochai's words, he smiled and said, "You and Brother Xue are really worthy of being brothers and sisters. Their noses and mouths are all full of inspiration!"

Tanchun also knew that when Aunt Xue’s family came to Beijing, they encountered Jia Jing’s incident on the roadside, so she smiled and said, “Are they all willing to work hard on eating?”

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai smiled and pushed Tanchun, "Where is what you said so unbearable? I just think this taste is very familiar!"

"It's a bit like when Brother Xue invited me and Qin Zhong to have a drink some time ago, the new dishes were launched in Cuiyunlou!"

Jia Baoyu added a sentence next to it, and then another chopstick of meat was stuffed into his mouth...

Yes, it smells so good!

"Yes, this is the taste!" As soon as Jia Baoyu reminded him, Xue Baochai immediately began to think of it.

Thinking that Jia Jing had said at that time that he had obtained the spice by accident, he asked curiously: "Is this seasoning transmitted from Brother Jing's third brother?"

"I accidentally found some overseas seasoning seeds in the past two years. I thought they were very good, so I cultivated them and let the tenants who were good at farming try to plant some in the manor. I didn't expect that the profit from selling was not bad!"

Jia Jing held a porcelain plate and placed it on the table. There were more than ten skewers of grilled meat skewers on the plate. He greeted, "Try them all, how does this skewer taste?"

After reaching out and grabbing a skewer, Jia Jing also sat down, "Do it yourself to have enough food and clothing. Who else wants to eat? Go and bake it yourself, it's quite interesting!"

He also ordered the maids serving next to him: "The copper pot on the table next to you is left for you, and you don't need to serve you here, just eat here together!"

"Thank you, Marquis!"

All the maids bowed and thanked Jia Jing.

After a while, another copper pot that was making a "gurgling" sound appeared in the yard...

...

Over there, Baoyu, Baochai and Sanchun became interested when they heard Jia Jing's words. Even Yingchun, who had always been quiet, was excited to prepare to bake two skewers.

As spoiled as Jia Baoyu, he rolled up his sleeves and muttered that the gentleman was away from the kitchen, and then excitedly took a handful of meat skewers and placed them on the charcoal fire...

“…”

Although she lamented Jia Baoyu's understanding of "a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen", when she saw the scene where everyone was moving in front of her, Jia Jing had to sigh that no matter in the future or now, hot pot and barbecue are worthy of being the best choice for group-building dinners!

The whole yard was very lively for a while!

Everyone was having a happy meal when suddenly, Yuanyang, the maid next to Jia Mu, came over with a woman about the same age as Xichun.

All the people said in surprise: "Sister Xiangyun is here!"
