Chapter Seventy-Six: Death

"Amitabha, there is a concern for the benefactor, since the donor is so busy, let's go back early."

Xu Miaoyun was squirted out as soon as he drank the tea in his mouth, "Hey, old monk, you actually drove me away?" What about your compassion and all sentient beings? ”

"Driving the donor away is the greatest mercy to the flowers and plants in my courtyard......

"Cut, stingy ghost, grab you a handful of grass, remember it for more than ten years. I'm too lazy to argue with you today. With that, he poured another cup of tea into his mouth.

Master Hui Tan cleaned his hands and sat down on the stone bench opposite Xu Miaoyun, "I don't know what the donor is worried about?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a well-known master, you can see it......" Xu Miaoyun said in a weird way, and she didn't know whether it was praise or depreciation.

Master Hui Tan didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "Between the donor's eyebrows, there is a gloomy color. ”

"Old monk, I decided to listen to your instructions and do whatever I wanted......"

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

"Why don't you ask me something? It's tiring to be friends with you! ”

"The question from two years ago, the donor finally has an answer, which is really a happy thing."

"Now that you know what I'm talking about, old monk, can you tell me what the so-called Three Worlds Love Tribulation means? Is it me and Zhu Di who are in trouble? We have such a good relationship, you can't die without help, can you tell me a thing or two? Xu Miaoyun leaned closer to her head and asked with a wink.

Master Hui Tan smiled slightly, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked......"

"Stinky monk! I'm leaving! Xu Miaoyun didn't ask the answer, and left with Qingyu and the others.

"Amitabha, put it to death and then live ......"

This year's first batch of oranges is ripe, Yanwangfu has a lot, Xu Miaoyun has nothing to do every day, so he sits in the courtyard to peel oranges and eat melon seeds.

"It seems that Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai haven't come to me for a month......," Xu Miaoyun stuffed a freshly peeled orange into his mouth.

Sometimes, people just can't help chattering, Xu Miaoyun was thinking about it, and Jasper came to report that the king of Shu and the king of Xiang were coming.

"I really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me...... Please come here. ”

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai were also very familiar with each other, and the false courtesy of meeting guests in the front hall had long been waived, so they asked Biyu to bring the two directly to the Tilting Palace.

"Why do you two have time to come to me today?" Xu Miaoyun threw a petal of orange into her mouth and said to the two who had just entered the door.

"Fourth sister-in-law, it's almost the end of the year, Taifu's schoolwork is really heavy, and the winter days are short, the weather is bad, and we rarely have time to go out. No, I'll come to see you as soon as I'm free. ”

Zhu Chun sat down with a smile and reached out to get the orange himself. Zhu Bai called the fourth sister-in-law in a regular manner, and then sat down.

"You're welcome." Xu Miaoyun said Zhu Chun, then took an orange and handed it to Zhu Bai, "Na, learn from your eleventh brother, be thick-skinned, you're welcome." ”

"Fourth sister-in-law, I treat Yanwangfu as my own home, in my own home, what do I want to do like that?"

"Since you're at home, let's do something by yourself today......"

Without waiting for Zhu Chun to ask what he meant, Xu Miaoyun then said to Hongyu: "Hongyu, inform the kitchen, you are only responsible for cooking the bottom of the pot when you eat hot pot today." ”

As soon as Hongyu heard this, she knew what the young lady meant, it seemed that the two little princes were afraid that they would have to suffer some hardships today, so they turned around with a smile and ordered.

"What is hot pot? How come I have never heard of it? Zhu Chun saw Xu Miaoyun's ill-intentioned smile, and knew that there was nothing good, but he still couldn't help but wonder what he was eating today.

"Hot pot, as the name suggests, is a pot on the fire to cook and eat."

"Can it be delicious?" Zhu Chun expressed serious doubts.

"It's delicious, when did the fourth sister-in-law give you something undelicious?"

"That's right." Zhu Chun thought about it, the fourth sister-in-law, like herself, loves food very much, and every time she is with the fourth sister-in-law, the things she eats are very delicious.

Quiet Zhu Bai also nodded again and again, but after hesitation, he still asked: "Fourth sister-in-law, what do you mean by doing it yourself?" ”

Only then did Zhu Chun remember, yes, the fourth sister-in-law's weird smile just now, "Could it be for us to cook?" I won't......"

Xu Miaoyun flicked Zhu Chun's head, "The son can be taught." ”

"Huh? No way? Fourth sister-in-law, you must be joking with us, right? Zhu Chun rubbed his hands on the place where Xu Miaoyun had knocked him.

Zhu Bai also nodded and agreed: "I don't know how to cook." ”

"No kidding."

"Fourth sister-in-law, the gentleman is far away from cooking...... Zhu Chun looked at Xu Miaoyun pitifully.

"It's not like you said to do it yourself so that it doesn't seem raw."

"But I mean eat it yourself, not make it yourself!"

"Stop grinding and chirping, come with me. And this hot pot must be done by yourself to be delicious. ”

"How can there be a reason to eat it by yourself, can we still eat it by ourselves?"

The two followed Xu Miaoyun to the back kitchen suspiciously.

Hongyu saw that Xu Miaoyun and the three of them were coming, and hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand, "Miss, the bottom of the bone pot is already boiling." ”

"Well, you go and prepare the dipping sauce, there are two more people today, and there are more seasonings for each of them. In addition, prepare everything you may need. ”

"Okay." Hongyu followed Xu Miaoyun when she was young, and she also learned this hot pot from Xu Miaoyun, and she understood what Xu Miaoyun said.

After Xu Miaoyun finished instructing Hongyu, she said to the two little princes, "Okay, it's time for the two of you to show off your skills." ”

Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai glanced at each other, looked at Xu Miaoyun with a puzzled expression, and the implication was that what could the two of us do?

"Now, first peel the garlic, wash it, and put it on a plate for later use."

Okay, peel the garlic.

"Pick these cabbages one by one, wash them, and put them on a plate for later use."

Okay, wash the vegetables.

"Peel these potatoes, slice them, wash them, and put them on a plate for later use."

Okay, peel the skin.

Wait a minute...... How to slice? How to use this knife?

"Wash and slice the lamb and set it on a plate for later use."

Okay, spare.

Standby, everything.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you've got more than a dozen things here, all of them are raw and ready for use, how can you eat this? Are you going to fry it? Zhu Chun couldn't bear it anymore and threw down the coriander in his hand.

Zhu Bai silently picked it up, continued to wash it and put it away, "Yes, fourth sister-in-law, why do you want so many things?" Moreover, I don't eat coriander. ”

"Hey, Little Twelve, you can't say anything! However, if you don't eat this coriander, others will eat it. ”

"Fourth sister-in-law, what are we eating, after washing the vegetables for a long time, my waist is about to break, which is more tiring than my martial arts practice all afternoon."

"Alright, let's go! You two wash your hands and wait to eat. ”

Xu Miaoyun saw that these two guys were really tired enough, since they were young, they had golden bumps that were brought to their mouths whenever they wanted to eat, and it was really not easy to do so much, so they asked the two of them to wash their hands and faces, and sat in the courtyard and waited. The rest of the things are in charge of Hongyu, and the cooks and maids are ready, and the chefs of the palace are also novel when they see this way of eating for the first time, and they are very active in their work, and soon, the side dishes and seasonings are all available, and even the bone broth base has been stewed.

In the courtyard, Zhu Chun beat his arm, "Fourth sister-in-law, just tell us, what is hot pot, right?" I didn't know what I tossed for a long time. ”

"Actually, to put it simply, hot pot is to put all kinds of vegetables and meat into the boiled soup and cook and eat."

At this point, Hongyu led a group of people to serve side dishes and spices, and ordered the two Xiao Si to set up a pot in the courtyard and pour the soup base into the pot.

"Now, this pot is the soup base, and the dishes we prepared before are placed on the table next to it, and when the water in the pot boils, you can choose your favorite dishes and put them in the pot, and you can eat them after cooking."

The maid Xiao Si over there is busy working, and here Xu Miaoyun is explaining to Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai.

"This white-bottomed clear soup doesn't look like it has any taste, put this dish in it, boil it in water, can it be delicious?" The corners of Zhu Chun's mouth twitched, why did he always feel so unreliable?

"Of course, it's more than that. The bottom of this pot looks tasteless, but in fact, the barrel bones have been boiled for a few hours with more than ten flavored seasonings, which is very delicious. Also, there are two rows of small plates next to it, see? It's full of spices, and you can match it with the right flavor according to your preference, so that it tastes even better. Moreover, today is the first time you have eaten it, and you two have a light taste, so the clear soup pot base I prepared, if you can eat spicy in the future, there are various degrees of spicy pot bottom for you to choose from. ”

After listening to Xu Miaoyun's description, the two couldn't wait to get up and look at the vegetables, meat, and various seasonings that had just been arranged, and they were dumbfounded.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what is this?" Zhu Chun asked.

"Crushed peanuts? Why, you don't recognize you after mashing? ”

"What about this?" Zhu Bai is also very curious, what is this green? Is it also a seasoning?

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said, "You ask." ”

Zhu Bai obediently leaned close to his nose and took a sharp breath, and immediately choked and jumped away, "This is coriander!" Fourth sister-in-law, you are really, knowing that I don't like coriander, and still ask me to smell it. And, is this thing a spice? ”

It's hard for Zhu Bai to say so many words in one breath, and Zhu Chun, who watched it, laughed heartily.

"Of course you can, it's delicious, put it in a small bowl, add chili, sesame oil, garlic, don't be too delicious. Since you don't have a mouthful of twelve, you can taste it in a while. ”

"Okay."

At this time, the two little ones no longer suspect that it is not delicious, and they are looking forward to it just like this.

Soon, Xu Miaoyun adjusted the dipping sauce by herself, and also instructed Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai to make the seasoning for herself, and then called the four of Hongyu together, gathered around the bottom of the pot, and started the winter hot pot journey.

Hongyu is not the first time to eat hot pot with Xu Miaoyun, there is no special feeling, or they have not eaten it for two years since they entered the palace, and they have not been lively with Miss for a long time, and they are very happy.
