The sharp cold light of the soft sword was still reflecting, and beside him, Xu Mindong's little fleshy claws had already stretched out staggeringly......

Xu Yuan raised the things in his hand in a panic to avoid this little guy.

The grandmother behind stumbled over to support Xu Mindong, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Madame forgiveness, old lady forgiveness, I didn't look at the little young master for a while, let him run here." ”

Du's face turned white and red, and he said angrily: "What are you eating!" Take the little master aside, and be careful not to hurt him! ”

This grandmother resignedly led Xu Mindong and retreated.

Seeing that Du's face was not good-looking, the old lady comforted: "Children are inevitably skinny, and they don't need to worry too much if they are not hurt." ”

Du Shi smiled reluctantly and said, "Old lady, you don't know, I drove you out by me for serving Mindong before, stealing things. Now I've changed a few, and I always don't serve well. ”

The old lady knew about this stubble, and casually comforted her.

Xu Yusheng over there heard the little turmoil here, and interjected: "Madam, since Mama is not good at serving, then there is no need for Mama." Min Dong is more than two years old, and it is good to play with a few little followers. ”

The husband spoke, and Du Shi naturally did not refute it in front of everyone. And the old lady over there said, "How old is a two-year-old girl?" Three-year-old or four-year-old? Are you going to open a nursery in the hospital? ”

Xu Yusheng said happily: "It's not impossible to open one?" ”

The old lady slapped the board and said, "It's too early for the little guy to wait for Min Dong to be older." After the New Year, he will be served by some experienced grandmothers. ”

Before the old lady finished speaking, a maid at the door said: "Lord Guogong has arrived-"

Xu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but drift outward, wanting to see what this Lord Xu Guogong and Xu Shuyuan's father looked like. The children of this family are all born well-looking, and Xu Guogong should also be good-looking.

Before the people of Guogong appeared, the voice had already drifted over. A majestic male voice muttered: "Adults to adults, am I going home or going to court?" ”

People came soon, Xu Guogong was very tall and big, and he looked very righteous and mighty, but he had a small goatee, which looked a little funny.

Xu Yuan left from his seat with everyone and saluted Xu Guogong.

Xu Guogong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." As he spoke, he walked to the old lady and sat down, shook her hand, and said affectionately: "I haven't seen you for a long time, what dish did Madame prepare for me?" ”

The old lady gave her husband a blank look and said, "Take my youngest son and mix outside until the Chinese New Year's Eve to come back, what else do you want?" Go and go. ”

The old lady said disgusted, but she still told her subordinates to serve the food quickly.

The delicacies at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet are naturally incomparable to the small banquets on weekdays, but the highlight is still a small copper pot in front of everyone.

Even in front of the child Xu Mindong, there was a very small copper pot.

According to the customs of Jinju, whether the family has money or not, this New Year's pot must be indispensable.

Xu Guogong saw the steaming pot in front of him, and the soup base full of red oil was boiling in the pot. Through the hot air, Xu Guogong squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan.

"The ......"

Xu Guogong seemed to be brewing something to say, and as soon as he started, Mrs. Xu smiled at Xu Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, come, I've seen your father." ”

Xu Yuan felt many glances cast at her, got up and bowed generously to Xu Guogong, and said, "I've seen my father." ”

Xu Guogong seemed to be stunned, but the person next to him pushed him, and then cramped: "No...... Don't be polite, get up. ”

Seeing Xu Yuan smiling at him, Xu Guogong couldn't hold back and grinned.

From the perspective of other people on the side, it was really shocking that such a straightforward smile appeared on Xu Guogong's face!

Xu Chusheng couldn't hold back when he saw it, and whispered: "Dad, what are you laughing at......"

No matter how whispered he was, he couldn't escape Xu Guogong's ears, so he immediately slapped the back of his second son's head and said, "What about laughing at you, do you have an opinion?" ”

He turned his head to look at Xu Yuan again, and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "Shuyuan, are you still used to eating this?" ”

Xu Yuan replied with a smile: "I am used to eating, and I used to eat it often." ”

Xu Guogong was a little surprised, and said, "Kuizhou also eats pots?" ”

During this time, Xu Yuan read the customs of many places, and naturally focused on the "hometown" Kuizhou that Xu Chusheng had forged for her before.

The previous preparation also came in handy at this time, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said clearly: "Kuizhou is damp, so you have to eat a pot to dispel dampness and cold." Chili peppers are also eaten heavily. ”

At the mention of chili peppers, Xu Guogong was even more interested and asked, "Oh? I haven't been to Kuizhou yet, so I don't know. Shuyuan, which do you say is more powerful, the chili pepper over there or our Jinju chili? ”

Xu Yuan thought for a while and said sincerely: "The chili peppers in Kuizhou are even more powerful. ”

Kuizhou is about the area of modern Sichuan and Chongqing, and chili peppers must be a must. Although she didn't know whether the spicy food in Kuizhou in this world was heavy, the Jinzhou chili pepper she ate here in Xufu was really not good, and even the soup boiling red oil in front of her didn't smell too spicy.

Xu Guogong, who claimed to be a "spicy general", raised his eyebrows, slapped the table, and said excitedly: "Hey! Then I must go to Kuizhou next time and try the spicy food over there! ”

Mrs. Xu said helplessly: "You are so busy that you can't go back home a few times, and why do you want to go to Kuizhou, which is thousands of miles away?" If you want me to eat, send someone there next time to buy it. ”

Xu Guogong refused the request of the people behind him to give him vegetables, and threw the meat into the pot desperately, saying as he threw it: "This specialty, especially the food, is not the same taste thousands of miles away and in the local area. But Madame is right, next time you can let someone buy it and try it first. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't see Xu Guogong moving his chopsticks to send the food to his mouth, so he didn't move the chopsticks to eat, Mrs. Xu said to her husband, "Take a bite." ”

Seeing that her husband didn't react, she said again: "Don't patronize the shabu shabu, take a bite quickly, if you don't eat it, the juniors below don't dare to move when they are hungry to death." ”

Xu Guogong immediately picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the dish with chili sauce, almost swallowed it, and said with chopsticks: "Eat!" Don't pay attention to your own family, if you don't eat the pot, it will be burned dry. ”

If you have to be a family member of the Xu Mansion, everyone has begun to move chopsticks, shabu shabu, and vegetables to eat.

Xu Yuan, who had eaten hot pot countless times in her previous life, was so hungry to swallow her tongue at the moment, the beef and mutton next to the pot, as well as various fresh ingredients that she didn't recognize after being processed, with the boiling thick pot bottom, really made people can't help but chew the chopsticks.
