An Lan also noticed that Panqiu's desire to speak stopped, she thought about it seriously, and didn't think of anything to say to Panqiu, so she put it down and didn't mention it.

After half a ring, An Lan looked down at An He, and found that fine beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, thinking of what Pan Qiu had just said, she suddenly realized.

"Xiaohe, can you go back to your room to rest? Otherwise, if you get sick, the eldest sister won't be able to take you to Taizhou City tomorrow to play. An Lan said to An He, half persuading and half seducing.

Anhe thought about it carefully, and the eldest sister never said that she missed it, so she obediently agreed.

An Lan personally sent An He back to the room to rest, and told Panqiu and the others to take good care of An He, she wanted to continue to watch Xu Dayong and them catch fish, but she thought that after the water in the pond was finished, the silt accumulated at the bottom of the pond would emit a fishy smell, and she couldn't stand the smell, so she gave up her plan to continue watching them fish.

An Lan came to the kitchen along the corridor, and saw Xiao Fei and Xiao Yue, as well as Han Qiao, Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Li talking and laughing, when An Lan walked to the door of the kitchen, the three of them just put down the dishes and chopsticks, and they all saluted respectfully when they saw An Lan walking into the kitchen.

An Lan asked a few people not to be polite, and then she asked with concern: "How is it, have you eaten enough?" Didn't eat enough, let Aunt Zhang do a little more? ”

"I'm full, Miss!" The three of them replied in unison.

An Lan looked at their neat answers, and wanted to laugh.

"It's good to be full! That's right~ Xiao Fei, you go to supervise the progress of fishing outside, Xiao Yue, you go to the pond to find a person named Mu Yunxu, and ask him to take you to get the wooden barrel containing the fish. Hanqiao, you also helped Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li look at the mung bean soup in the pot, and when it is ready, you will help carry it out for the brothers outside to relieve the heat, you know? An Lan's expression was indifferent, and she instructed a few people in a clear manner.

"Yes!" As soon as a few people agreed, they began to perform their duties according to An Lan's instructions.

An Lan just wanted to leave the kitchen, and suddenly thought that she should make a dinner to treat Xu Dayong, who was lucky outside, to them? After all, you may often deal with them in the future, even if there is no intersection anymore, it is easy to talk after you get acquainted, right? Thinking of this, An Lan was not calm, she decided to go out to buy some ingredients and invite these people to eat, so An Lan said to Han Qiao, who was busy working on the side: "Han Qiao~ You take the vegetable basket and go out to buy vegetables with me." ”

Aunt Zhang looked at An Lan's appearance and asked suspiciously, "Miss, what do you want?" Are there enough ingredients in Shangfu tonight? ”

"Aunt Zhang, don't think about it, it's not that your dishes are not done well, it's that I want to invite the brothers who are outside the construction to dinner tonight, so I ......" After listening to An Lan's explanation, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li glanced at each other before relieving their hearts. They are really afraid of being resold again, this place is much better than before, three meals are not worried, and several masters are also very kind, never beat and scold people, I don't know which Bodhisattva appeared to let us meet such a person......

When Han Qiao heard An Lan's words, he immediately picked up the vegetable basket and walked happily to An Lan.

……

"Miss, what are we going to buy?" Han Qiao was a little confused about An Lan's walking around the vegetable market several times, so she asked An Lan in a low voice.

An Lan glanced at Han Qiao, and said helplessly: "I don't know either." ”

"Miss ......, can you be like this, you don't even know and come out to buy vegetables?"

"Actually, it's not that I don't know, it's just that I think of the 40-odd people who want to eat, and I feel a little uncertain in my heart, how many ingredients do you say we have to buy to make people full!" Thinking of so many people, Rao is Anlan has some headaches no matter how calm she is.

The words of the treat had already been spoken, and it was impossible to go back on their word again, An Lan racked her brains and began to think about how to make the 40 people happy.

"Miss, you can make a big pot of rice! In the past, we were all eating in a big pot of rice at Mrs. Zhao, oh, no, Mrs. Zhao, and besides, the main thing for them to do work was to eat, unlike you, the eldest lady, who only loved to eat vegetables. Han Qiao whispered.

"Big pot rice?" A light flashed in front of An Lan's eyes, and she instantly knew what to do.

"Hanqiao, you're right, let's make a big pot of rice." An Lan said with a serious expression.

"Ahh Han Qiao exclaimed, she looked at An Landao in disbelief,

"Miss, I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously~"

"Hanqiao, don't worry, Miss, I won't treat them badly, what are you worried about?" An Lan said disapprovingly.

"Oh! That's good, it scared me, I thought that the young lady was really going to eat a big pot of rice for the guests? Han Qiao was relieved when she heard An Lan's clear answer, and she then asked,

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Hot pot." An Lan said proudly.

"Hot pot?" Han Qiao looked at An Lan suspiciously.

"Yes!" As for the ingredients, if you don't give up the ingredients, you can only go to the Dong family restaurant to see if you can buy some, if he doesn't have these ingredients at home, he has to make hot pot fish......

"Miss, what the hell is hot pot?" Han Qiao asked curiously.

"It's just a bunch of people eating the food in a big iron pot." An Lan explained casually.

"That's not a big pot of rice...... "I muttered in a small voice.

"......" An Lan looked at Han Qiao with black lines on her face, you are just like this......

"Hanqiao, don't ask, you'll know later. We have to prepare early to have dinner. ”

"What else is there to prepare for the big pot of rice, buy some vegetables and cook them all together? But Miss, it's really hard to eat......" Han Qiao was still muttering, as if trying to persuade An Lan to give up her decision to eat hot pot.

"......" An Lan was speechless to Han Qiao, she quickened her pace and walked out of the vegetable market, she wanted to find the iron pot of the hot pot and prepare a few tables with small stoves first.

"Miss, did I say something wrong? You wait for me......" Han Qiao didn't find An Lan beside her after speaking, she looked around and found that An Lan had walked far away, and she hurriedly chased after An Lan.

An Lan and Hanqiao came to the only iron shop in the town, An Lan looked around the store and saw that there were a few iron pots in the store, although it was a big iron pot for cooking rice at home, but An Lan couldn't take care of it so much, and now the customized special pot was not enough time, so she had to use this first.

"Uncle, how do you sell your iron pot?" The shopkeeper didn't pay much attention to Anlan and the two of them walking around the store, he guessed that it was the naughty child who came to the store to play, and suddenly heard the younger girl ask the price, and he still quoted a price out of habit.

"200 Wen? So cheap? An Lan was a little surprised, she thought about it, she was able to earn money now, and two hundred wen was still very expensive for ordinary people.

Listening to An Lan say that it was cheap, the shopkeeper was just sure that these two little girls were here to play, but he couldn't drive people out when he opened the door to do business! So he had to bite the bullet and say,

"Little girl, do you want this iron pot?"

"I want 5 pots." An Lan thought that there were more than a dozen people in her family, so she continued,

"No, I want 7 iron pots, uncle, can you help change the iron pot, I need it urgently."

The shopkeeper didn't expect An Lan to really want to buy something, so he hurriedly said,

"Little girl, how you want to change it, I will strike the iron myself." He saw that there were no customers in the store, so he continued: "If you are in a hurry, I can help you change it now, little girl, what do you want to change?" ”

"I want to add an iron piece in the middle of the iron pot and divide the pot into two parts, preferably with a slight curved arc in the middle, so that it looks better. Uncle, can you do it? ”

"No problem. Tie Sheng, you look at the store, I'll go to renovate the iron pot first, little girl, you go and watch it with me? ”

"Got it, Dad." The young man named Tiesheng agreed honestly.

"Good!" An Lan and Han Qiao followed the shopkeeper to the place where he was smelting ironware in the back hall, and she carefully explained her request to the shopkeeper.

Because what An Lan said was too simple, the shopkeeper just made a few pieces of iron into an arc and made it ready after inputting the iron pieces into the pot. An Lan looked at the freshly baked iron pot and was very satisfied.
