The large copper pot of stewed meat was hung from the fire again, only this time a dozen beef bones were added to the pot. Zizhu squatted on the edge of the pot, his face was red from the fire, and his sleeves were half-pulled, revealing a white arm. Wu Qien, who rushed to rub the rice after hearing the news, couldn't help but blush, although he tried his best to turn his head to avoid it, but his eyes seemed to have glue, and he stuck directly to the two white arms and refused to leave.

Yun Rui was careless and hadn't noticed it yet, but Su De could see it clearly, a pair of old eyes turned around between Zizhu and Wu Qien from time to time, smiling like a fox stealing a chicken.

Dong Rong instructed Wu Qien to cut the half-frozen mutton and beef into thin slices, and divided the mixed sesame paste and salted leeks into a bowl of beef bones, and frowned again when he looked at the slightly empty table.

Although the shabu-shabu is eaten with the fresh aroma of mutton, it is also much discolored without vegetables. She already has a light taste, but since she came to the grassland, except for mushrooms, beef and mutton, she is really a little unaccustomed. However, in this early winter, there are not many vegetables to eat in Daqi, let alone such a prairie. If she forced Sude to find vegetables and come back, it would be too unreasonable.

Su Dexu also guessed this, and pushed the three blister dried mushrooms on the table with some embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Nobleman, this is the most delicious three kinds of mushrooms on our grassland, if the nobleman thinks it is not enough, just ask, and the old slave will go to the warehouse to rummage through it." ”

Zizhu is a straightforward and fast-talker, and he is worried about letting his master eat more, so when he heard this, he opened his mouth and complained, "Uncle, don't you even have dried vegetables here, it's really unpleasant to eat a hot pot." You don't know, when we are at home, every time we have to put a table full of dishes, what pork belly shreds, frozen tofu, prawns, and our wife's favorite vegetables, thin vermicelli, bean skin, fungus, fish meatballs, really want to eat anything. ”

Yun Rui nodded violently and agreed, "I like to eat the beef meatballs made by Aunt Wen the most, and there are shrimp meat in them, one bite at a time, it's really delicious!" ”

Wu Qien swallowed his saliva when he heard this, remembering the delicacies he had eaten with his master in Daqi before, so he also counted a few. Only Su De watched everyone talk lively, and finally sighed, "I can't eat such good things in my life." ”

Dong Rong was about to open his mouth to persuade a few words, but one of the guards beside Ge Riletu reported loudly, Wu Qien got up and walked out, but soon came in with a cabbage and a bunch of dried red peppers.

Zizhu cheered and ran over, snatched the cabbage and pepper, and asked happily, "Where did you find the good things?" It's great to finally see a little bit of vegetables, and our wife can eat a few more bites. ”

Wu Qien scratched the back of his head and replied with a red face, "Our Highness heard that you were looking for vegetables and spices, so he personally went to the palace to ask for them. “

Zizhu pouted and muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, count him as reality." ”

"Zizhu, don't be rude." Dong Rong stopped the unabashed little girl, and turned to look at Su De, "Uncle, I still have to trouble you to go and thank the Second Highness for me." If he's not busy at this time, ask him to come and taste something new. ”

"Yes, nobleman." Su Dele's old face almost bloomed, and he quickly got up and saluted and ran out.

Zizhu playfully stuck out his tongue and carefully picked up the cabbage, and the shriveled cabbage that he threw away at home on weekdays can't be thrown away at this time. Wash it and soak it in warm water, and you can make half a plate.

As for the dried chili peppers, they were better disposed of, chopped and fried in an oil pan, and soon got a big bowl of red chili oil, which made Yun Rui and Wu Qien sniff around and keep sniffing.

Soon, the bone broth in the large copper pot was boiled into a milky white color, and the water splashed with the occasional slices of green onion ginger and star anise peppercorns. Dong Rong personally put the mutton slices into a large plate, and then cabbage and mushrooms, and waited for Su De to invite His Royal Highness to arrive.

However, when Su De came back, he took a skinny little child, stepped forward and whispered to Dong Rong, "Your Excellency, our Highness is busy at this time and can't come over." On the way back, the old slave met the eldest brother..."

Dong Rong looked at the child with her chin raised and also looking at her, and she was amused, so she said, "It's lively when there are many people eating hot pot, the eldest brother came just in time, and he was just about to start eating." ”

Gardi's originally tense little face seemed to soften, but he said stiffly, "This is my Amma's yurt, and I am the master." ”

Dong Rong felt more and more funny, and motioned for Zizhu to put a thick felt cushion on the main seat, and then invited Gardi to sit, but he sat next to the copper pot and scooped meat into the bowl for everyone with his own hands. At the end, he also instructed Zizhu, "Big Brother is young, and he doesn't put chili peppers in his sauce!" ”

Zizhu's subordinates originally scooped a big spoonful of chili oil, thinking about punishing this rude child. But when the master spoke, she had to pout and answer, "Yes!" ”

Gardy was small, but his head was much larger than that of an ordinary child, and he looked like a very intelligent child. But a child is a child, and no matter how smart he is, there is a limit. At this moment he was trying to sit and look at the furnishings in the yurt, as if he had come in for the first time. But a pair of eyes glanced in the direction of the copper pot from time to time, and occasionally the little nose would twitch twice, and the throat kept moving.

Dong Rong took some mutton and cabbage, as well as a few mushrooms, and delivered them to him with his own hands, and pointed to the sauce bowl next to him with a smile and said, "You are still young, and it is not good to only eat meat on weekdays, so eat more cabbage and mushrooms today." Dipping this sauce makes it even more delicious. After a while, I will cook noodles in the soup pot, so I don't have to rush to eat slowly. ”

Galdi's mouth and nose were full of hot and spicy aroma, and then he listened to the soft voice of the not very beautiful woman in front of him, and for some reason, he slowly lowered his raised chin, and subconsciously responded, "Okay." ”

Dong Rong smiled faintly, and when she was about to get up, Zizhu couldn't help but protest, "Madam, Uncle Su De found a few catties of fine noodles, and it would be good to be able to roll out three or five bowls of noodles." Why did you send it out again, what will you do after you have eaten all this meal? ”

Dong Rong glared at Zizhu with a smile, and said angrily, "You stingy girl, it's rare for everyone to get together and finish eating." There is wine today and drunk today, and we will talk about the future later! ”

"Mrs. Dong is refreshing, and she will love to hear this. I have a jar of good wine in my yurt, and I'm going to fetch it!" On a whim, Ukien got up and went to get the wine. Yun Rui had also secretly drunk when he was at home before, and when he heard this, he immediately clapped his hands, causing Zizhu to glare at him fiercely, "If you dare to get drunk, try it!" ”

Yun Rui pretended to be frightened and looked at his master for help, "Madam, take care of my sister, she is going to become an old woman, and she nagging all day long!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, but Dong Rong's heart was full of gratitude, these days have been suffering with her, it is rare that these two children are still optimistic and strong.

"It's rare to be lively today, Yun Rui will drink a bowl."

"Mrs. Xie, haha, there is wine to drink." Yun Rui happily rolled on the ground, and everyone laughed louder and louder.

Galdi looked at the harmonious and lively people in great amazement, and really couldn't understand how the cunning and greedy housekeeper and the ruthless general had changed. Could it really be like those Fujin people in the palace who secretly talked behind their backs, this woman can do evil magic, not only confusing Amma, but also the great butler and the general are also affected?

Dong Rong didn't know what the child was thinking, and seeing that the mutton in his bowl was a little cold, she helped him scoop another spoonful of soup, and urged with a smile, "Big brother, eat it quickly, it's not delicious if it's cold." ”

Gardi didn't answer, but picked up the chopsticks, and everyone saw this and began to eat and drink. The hot bone broth, delicious mutton slices, and spicy sauces are mixed together to eat the stomach, as if the internal organs are on fire, slowly penetrating into the whole body, so comfortable that everyone sighs together, and at the end, the chopsticks fly up and down faster, and even saying a word is a waste of effort.

Dong Rong stopped after eating two bowls, turned her head to look at the sweaty Gardi, and remembered the three children in the family. I don't know where they were placed at this time, but have they grown taller? The children can't remember too many things, maybe when they meet in the future, they don't know their own mother...

After eating a bowl of Gardi, when he looked up and wanted to add some, he happened to see Dong Rong secretly wiping his tears, and his heart suddenly softened for some reason. But when he remembered those rumors, he immediately straightened his back again, put down the dishes and chopsticks against his will, and scolded, "What kind of broken thing is this, it's so unpalatable!" ”

With that, he got up and walked out. Everyone was so shocked by this change that they didn't react for a while, but Zizhu was the first to jump up and shout, "It's not good to dislike it, he still eats so much?" What kind of person..."

Dong Rong was also surprised, but waved her hand and instructed Zizhu, "The child may be having a temper, you can take some toffee in a while and ask Uncle Su De to send it to the eldest brother." ”

Zizhu nodded reluctantly, and finally packed a plate of square-cut toffee and sent it to Su De. Su De also felt that his little master was a little rude, so he found an excuse to run to deliver candy after eating two bites indiscriminately, and by the way, he also asked if it was a slave with a long tongue who was stirring up trouble in front of the little master.

When the sun sets on the edge of the grassland, the cold wind seems to be much lighter. While holding on to the dagger and cutting the meat to eat, Ge Riletu listened to what Wu Qien said about the day, and finally wiped his hands and sighed, "Galdi, this child, has not been disciplined by his mother since he was a child, and I am far away in Daqi, but I have wronged him. As long as he rejoices, don't stop him from playing in the yurt. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Wu Qien responded, and finally asked, "Tomorrow, will Your Highness still go to the appointment?" ”

Gezhiletu nodded, "Although the people of the Amur family strongly opposed it, Father Khan still agreed. My Dajin has suffered natural disasters for two consecutive years, and the people are focused on recuperation, and if they go south, they will always lose tens of thousands of warriors' lives. If you can get enough food without using swords, why not? ”

Wu Qien frowned and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, if the King of Zhongshan takes back Mrs. Dong, he will break the contract, or suddenly regret it..."R638
