Although the list updated by the system was happy for Zhou Zheng, he couldn't use it, so Zhou Zheng just focused his mind on the preparation of the new dish tonight after being happy alone for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As for what this new dish is, look at the copper pot next to Zhou Zheng to know, the copper pot is the same as the boiler, but it looks extraordinarily new, at a glance, you know that this boiler has not been created for a long time, and the seasoning that Zhou Zheng is sorting out is not difficult to see that the new dish that Zhou Zheng is going to prepare this time is the famous hot pot.

Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, is named after the sound of "coodong" made when food is put into boiling water, it is an original Chinese delicacy with a long history and is a food suitable for all ages. The appearance of hot pot has been around since the Warring States period, but at that time, clay pots were used as pots, and hot pot began to flourish in the future.

Its characteristics are to eat while cooking, steaming when eating, hot to eat, spicy and salty, oily but not greasy, sweating profusely, hearty, depressive and dehumidifying, suitable for the climate of mountains and rivers.

Especially when the weather is getting colder, eating a steaming hot pot with spicy spicy is simply a hearty enjoyment, but it is not too good to eat too much.

Hot pot has red soup and white soup, this time Zhou Zheng has to do both kinds of soup, spicy and not spicy Everyone has their own taste habits, it is impossible for everyone to like to eat spicy hot pot and it is impossible for everyone to like to eat non-spicy hot pot, so this time the hot pot week is fully prepared, it can be said that there are both.

As the sky outside began to gradually show a dim state, the sun that was still emitting light began to set gradually, Zhou Zheng felt that the temperature began to drop significantly, and the night would usher in a cold wind.

After the soup was ready, Zhou Zheng instructed his subordinates to start preparing charcoal and all kinds of food, which Zhou Zheng had prepared such as beef, mutton and some other vegetarian dishes such as lettuce and mushrooms.

After making these preparations, Zhou Zheng began to wait for Zhou Ruoying's arrival, and the little white fox Xiaobai, who had a new name under his feet, was bored playing with his tail, looking very cute and ignorant.

Zhou Zheng, who had nothing to do, was about to open the notebook he had placed on the table to write something, when other voices came from outside the door.

"Second brother, why haven't you eaten yet? I'm already hungry. ”

Suddenly, Zhou Xue's voice of dissatisfaction came from the courtyard.

"Oh no, Xue'er didn't know that the imperial sister was coming in the evening at noon, and she forgot to tell Xue'er in the afternoon."

It wasn't until this time that Zhou Zheng remembered that Xue'er didn't know the news that the imperial sister was coming to the imperial palace for dinner today, and if it was left in the past, this point was almost the time for dinner, and today because the imperial sister was coming, he ordered the cook to cook later tonight.

Immediately, Zhou Zheng put down the charcoal in his hand and hurriedly ran to the courtyard, and Xiaobai also ran out after Zhou Zheng's pace.

"Sister, the second brother forgot to tell you at noon, the imperial sister is going to come here to eat with us in the evening, why don't you fill your stomach a little now?"

Facing Zhou Xue, who was a little dissatisfied, Zhou Zheng immediately explained to Zhou Xue in his best tone.

"Sister Huang is coming, won't it be an excuse to fool me into forgetting to let the kitchen cook?"

At noon, Zhou Ruoying had just come, and if she came back in the evening, Zhou Xue always felt that this was an excuse that Zhou Zheng used to fool herself, and then told herself that the imperial sister would not come at night after the meal was ready, such an excuse Zhou Zheng had done it more than once, and suddenly Zhou Xue looked a little unconvinced.

"Don't worry this time, the second brother guarantees with his personal reputation, as long as the royal sister doesn't come tonight, I will be a puppy!"

After listening to Zhou Zheng's assurance, Zhou Xue seemed to form a picture of Zhou Zheng from top to bottom, and a puppy was bouncing around in front of him, and he was about to laugh when he thought about it.

"Okay, I'll believe you once this time, I'll go back and eat some pastries first, the second brother remembers, if the royal sister doesn't come today, I'll call you a puppy in the future!"

Zhou Xue's slightly joking words immediately swirled in Zhou Zheng's ears, and then she jumped away and looked very happy, leaving only a back for Zhou Zheng.

looked at the little white fox at his feet, and then looked at Zhou Xue Zhou in the distance, and sighed in his heart that did not exist.

Alas, he really grew up, and now he even dares to joke about his second brother.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng didn't know why he suddenly wanted to see Zhou Xuewa a little lost at night, hehe, I'm sorry, this time the second brother didn't lie to you, the imperial sister did come to dinner in the evening, and then it was a very happy thing to talk about what happened in the school in the afternoon, and then let you make fun of the old brother casually in the future.

Zhou Zheng, who had bad water in his heart, quickly put this matter behind his mind and waited intently for the arrival of the imperial sister.

Zhou Zheng's wait didn't last long, but it was time to go back to the study to read the book for a while, and someone came to inform the eldest princess that the carriage appeared not far from the imperial palace.

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Zheng immediately ran out and came to the door of the imperial palace, at this time the sky was already dark, although there was still the last trace of the sun's afterglow on the horizon, but everyone knew that this afterglow would not exist for too long.

From time to time, there were gusts of cold wind in the air, and this temperature had a huge contrast with the temperature when the sun was in the sky at noon, making Zhou Zheng more and more aware of the imminent departure of autumn.

At the door was a small group of guards guarding the Imperial Palace, and the eyes of these guards began to patrol continuously after Zhou Zheng appeared, as if to find out all possible unstable factors.

In the distance, two richly decorated carriages were constantly driving over, and there were about fifty soldiers running on both sides of the carriage, and Zhou Zheng's keen eyesight allowed Zhou Zheng to clearly see the decorations on the carriage and the appearance of the running soldiers.

These soldiers are constantly paying attention to the situation in front and on the sides as they run, and they look like experienced veterans, not recruits who have only been in the army for a long time.

After seeing this scene, Zhou Zheng suddenly had a question, in the past, the imperial sister came to the imperial palace, but she never brought so many soldiers with her, at most, there will be more than ten guards behind her, this time not only more than 50 people are veterans' soldiers at a glance, but also there is one more carriage than before.

This made Zhou Zheng curious, if it wasn't the imperial sister, what other important guests did she bring?

Zhou Zheng, who was suspicious, stood at the door of the Imperial Palace, watching the carriage not far away gradually come to the gate of the Imperial Palace and stop.
