After the hot pot base was ready, Cai Xiaoxiao took out the iron pot she had prepared earlier and specially hired someone to build for making hot pot, and then asked Zhang Mu and Zhao Kangqiang to move one of the hot pot tables to the middle of the courtyard, and then she asked Zhao Kangcheng to prepare the charcoal stove and put it under the hole of the table, while she put the finished hot pot base into the iron pot, brought it to the table, put the pot into the hole, and just put it on the carbon stove.

"What is this?" A few people looked at the red hot pot soup and asked suspiciously.

"Hot pot." Cai Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Hot pot?" Zhao Kangcheng and the others looked at her with puzzled expressions.

"Yes." Cai Xiaoxiao beckoned a few people to help her bring out the vegetables and meat prepared in the kitchen, and then bring the chilled fruit juice and fruit wine, as well as the dishes and chopsticks.

She first brought two stools for vegetables and meat, put them on them, and put the juice and wine and chopsticks in the empty space on the hot pot table, and then beckoned everyone to sit down: "Sit down." ”

While speaking, Cai Xiaoxiao grabbed a handful of vegetables and put them in the pot, and then put in an appropriate amount of meat, and explained to everyone by the way: "This hot pot is to heat the soup, and then put the vegetables and meat into the soup brush, and when it is cooked, you can eat it." ”

"Chowder?" Li Yuan thought of the kind of chowder where various dishes were cooked together.

"It's kind of similar, but it's not a chowder, it's a lot more complicated than a chowder." Just now she just prepared the spices that gave her a headache, because there were too many types of spices, and she had to remember them while preparing, and it would be over if she forgot them in the future.

Because the soup was already boiling, the vegetables were cooked after a while, so Cai Xiaoxiao beckoned everyone to eat: "The vegetables are cooked, let's eat them...... Mother-in-law, this hot pot is a bit spicy, if you can't stand it, I have prepared rice, you can eat rice later. She said to Zhao Wang.

"I see." Zhao Wang's thoughtfulness towards Cai Xiao is very useful.

Knowing that it could be eaten, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to pick up a vegetable leaf and put it in the bowl, because it was still very hot when it was just taken out, so everyone blew it first, but after it cooled down a little, and then put it in their mouths, suddenly, everyone widened their pupils in shock, and then looked at Cai Xiaoxiao with an incredible face-

"It's delicious!" A taste that has never been experienced before, and there is a taste that can make people addictive!

However, Cai Xiaoxiao was already immersed in the deliciousness of the hot pot, and she didn't have time to pay attention to their shock, and ate the vegetables in the bowl with relish - I really miss this taste so much, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I didn't expect that one day she would really be able to taste this taste again in ancient times, and the deliciousness made her feel the urge to cry.

But in the end, she endured it, but she kept smiling on her face.

Zhao Kangcheng and several people also ate happily, and with the chilled fruit wine and juice, it feels like a delicacy in the world!

Although it can be very hot to eat such hot food in the summer, it is impossible to stop at all.

At the end of the meal, everyone was a little overwhelmed, and they lazily leaned back on the chair and didn't want to move.

Zhang Mu said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "Sister-in-law, I always thought that the dishes at the banquet the day before yesterday were already the pinnacle of your cooking skills, but I didn't expect you to make such delicious things!" ”

"Hey, hey." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled proudly, "I plan to open a hot pot restaurant, you two will come to help when the time comes, of course, I will pay you both." She remembered the plan she had agreed with Zhao Kangcheng before, so she took advantage of it now.

"Huh?" Suddenly hearing Cai Xiaoxiao invite them, Zhang Mu and Li Yuan were stunned, the two looked at Cai Xiaoxiao, and asked with some uncertainty, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean......"

Cai Xiaoxiao said: "I mean I plan to open a hot pot restaurant, but there is a shortage of manpower, I want to hire you two to help me start, in terms of salary, how about ten taels of silver a month?" If I'm not satisfied, I can go up a little further. ”

"Satisfied, of course satisfied!" The two hurriedly said.

"yes, that's good." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled softly and said.

Zhao Kangcheng and Zhao Wang also laughed.

"It's just, sister-in-law, do you really want to hire us both? We may not be able to do it well. Zhang Mu and Li Yuan still asked in disbelief.

"Will you settle accounts?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked them.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

"Do you wipe the table, entertain guests, wash dishes, clean up the table?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked again.

"Yes." Zhang Mu nodded.

"That's it." Cai Xiaoxiao shrugged his shoulders and said. She doesn't need them to do anything complicated, and she prepares the hot pot base and everything, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Zhang Mu and Li Yuan glanced at each other, then smiled, and the two said gratefully to Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng: "Thank you, eldest brother, thank you sister-in-law." They knew that Cai Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to hire them, and it must be the reason why Zhao Kangcheng mentioned it.

Ten taels of silver a month, according to this calculation, in less than three months they can build a new house, and their life will be better, which is simply wonderful.

Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng smiled and did not speak.

But when it comes to employment, Cai Xiaoxiao remembered one thing, she looked at Zhao Kangcheng: "Xianggong, you said earlier that you were going to the Yashi to buy a new person." ”

"Uh......" Zhao Kangcheng was about to pour himself a cup of tea, when he heard Cai Xiaoxiao suddenly mention it, his hand shook, and as a result, the tea was poured on the table, almost drenching his legs!

Fortunately, Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhang Mu saw each other, one hurriedly snatched the teapot in his hand, the other hurriedly blocked the tea on the table with a rag, and Zhao Kangcheng himself leaned back to avoid the tea that flowed down - after all, it was piping hot tea, and it was very likely to burn if it flowed on his legs.

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Kangcheng helplessly: "I just mentioned it casually, why are you so excited?" What should I do if I burn myself? ”

Zhao Kangcheng said embarrassedly: "I just forgot......" After all, Li Yu's incident happened before, so he had already forgotten about it.

"It's okay." After Cai Xiaoxiao cleaned up the table, he said, "I want to say, now that Zhang Mu and Li Yuan have helped, so there is probably no need for so many people, if there are not enough people, you can ask Zheng Yi to send someone over at that time, anyway, that guy is our partner, and it is also appropriate to have some manpower, even if you take care of your mother-in-law, you still have to prepare." ”

"Well, you're right, I'll go to the tooth market tomorrow when I go to town." Zhao Kangcheng nodded and said.

Here, when Zhao Wangshi heard Cai Xiaoxiao's words, he looked at the two of them with a confused expression: "The person who takes care of me?" Who? ”

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at her and explained with a smile: "It's the maid who serves you, and Xianggong and I want to find you a maid to take care of you." ”
