Dugu Chen's expression couldn't help revealing a trace of doubt, looked at Gui Yuan, and asked out loud: "The people of the Snow Country are suffering? Why did you say this, you look at the crowds coming and going on the street, their expressions are all smiling, and there is no sense of suffering at all." ”

Gui Yuan's expression was very calm, his hands were still closed, and he said softly: "After years of hardship and tribulation, they have already become numb, and they are already accustomed to it, so naturally they will not experience it." ”

Dugu Chen's expression became a little weird, and he looked at Li Qifeng, looking a little helpless.

Li Qifeng smiled and said: "Spring planting and autumn harvest, this is the law of nature, but the special geographical location of the snow country makes the climate here completely contrary to this law, so the people of the snow country live very poorly. ”

Dugu Chen nodded slowly, and said matter-of-factly: "What you are saying now is really difficult to understand. ”

Gui Yuan slowly took a few steps forward, turned his head to look at Li Qifeng, and said slowly: "If someone can find a place for the people of the Snow Country to live and work in peace and contentment, then it will be a matter of great merit. ”

Li Qifeng's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Look at longan.

Guiyuan's eyes are incomparably bright, but they seem to be starry with no end in sight, and they seem incomparably deep.

Li Qifeng didn't understand the deep meaning of Guiyuan's words.

But one thing he knew was that the snow country was surrounded on three sides by tall rolling snow-capped mountains, and the snow on them remained perennial...... If the people of the Snow Country want to find a place to live and work in peace and contentment, they can only expand to the south, but the south of the Snow Country is separated from Taiqian by a black river, which seems to be a moat, so that people from both countries rarely cross the ...... If the people of the Snow Country want to cross the Black River, I'm afraid they will ......

It was hard for Li Qifeng to imagine what terrible things would happen if the Snow Countryers crossed the Heihe River into Taiqian's territory on a large scale.

"The people of Snow Country have lived in this land for hundreds of years, they have adapted to everything here, they no longer feel difficult, and we have not forcibly changed anything. ”

Li Qifeng said slowly.

Gui Yuan's expression was very serious, and he said: "They will have such an opportunity, no one has ever lived in poverty all the time, I hope that day can come as soon as possible." ”

Li Qifeng's expression changed slightly again.

No doubt.

Gui Yuan's words shocked him very much, looking at Gui Yuan, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar, he seemed to be covered with a veil of mystery, which was impossible to see through at all.

Dugu Chen listened to Gui Yuan and Li Qifeng's words, and he had already become interested, and said, "Let's go back...... I really don't want to hear your words anymore. ”

Gui Yuan glanced at the sky and said, "It's okay, it's going to snow soon, so let's go back." ”

Dugu Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttered a few words in a low voice, and pretended to be a ghost and didn't say more.

……

……

A sudden heavy snowfall really came.

All of a sudden, everything in the imperial city was dressed in snow-white gauze, and at a glance it was vast, hazy, and incomparably mysterious.

The temperature in the palace dropped rapidly.

Those servants who had no cultivation background were shivering with cold.

All this naturally fell in Shangguan Qianqian's eyes, looking at the white snow floating between heaven and earth, her expression couldn't help but reveal a trace of melancholy, "This year's heavy snow is much earlier than in the past." ”

Walking, behind Shangguan Qianqian, Li Qifeng carefully put on a coat for her, and said: "What should come will come eventually, we can't stop God." ”

Shangguan Qianqian said: "The heavy snow came too early, but it is the misfortune of the people of the Snow Country, the cattle and sheep they raise are not fat enough, and the food they store is not enough...... It's been a tough winter. ”

Li Qifeng pondered for a moment and said, "The sky is ruthless, but you, the Snow Emperor, are merciful...... Just think about it, and everything will pass. ”

Shangguan Qianqian nodded, with a hint of a smile on her face, and said, "Am I too compassionate...... It's time to think of a way, I don't want the tragic things that happened in the snow country to happen again. ”

Li Qifeng nodded.

Shangguan Qianqian stretched out her hand, grabbed the snowflakes, felt the chill melting in the palm of her hand, and said: "When my father was alive, when the heavy snow came every year, he always had to eat a hot pot. ”

Li Qifeng said with a smile: "In the same way, I really have an appetite and really want to eat hot pot." ”

Shangguan Qianqian nodded and said, "Then we'll eat." ”

Li Qifeng's expression couldn't help but show excitement, and he smiled like a child.

……

……

Eating hot pot is a serious and serious thing.

Shangguan Qianqian started to make hot pot by herself, from the fried ingredients to the selected ingredients, she was extremely serious, and Li Qifeng was on the side, and the cooperation between the two was incomparably tacit.

Finally—

In the mist, the big guys sat around the table, smelling the rich aroma, looking at the rolling red oil, and the floating peppercorns, all of which felt extraordinarily flavorful, and the taste couldn't help but open.

Dugu Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Isn't it time for us to move?"

Li Qifeng smiled, picked up a plate of thinly sliced and evenly sliced mutton and poured it into the soup, and said, "Cook the meat first, this is more flavorful." ”

Lamb is like boiling soup.

Soon it was gone.

Dugu Chen didn't have the slightest politeness and directly pinched his chopsticks and looked for them in the soup, while not forgetting to say: "This mutton is very thin, and it will be too late if you blanch it." ”

Seeing this, Jin Chuan, Ye Xia and the others were also not polite at all, and they picked up chopsticks one after another and started to act.

There are several plates of mutton, and when it is finished, there are cabbage and radish...... Some ingredients that are very common on weekdays have become sought-after ingredients at the moment, and the big guys are competing to eat very lively, which seems to completely expel the cold between heaven and earth.

The taste of hot pot spread far and wide.

Everywhere in the palace, the servants who were shivering with cold were also full of food, stretching their necks vigorously to find the source of the hot pot.

For this, Shangguan Qianqian was also extremely reasonable, and ordered the imperial kitchen to start making hot pot.

"Let's eat hot pot today...... Happy big guys!"

Voices of excitement echoed throughout the palace.
