The kitchen of the small courtyard is full of smoke, the white smoke is like a wisp floating in the air, the heavy snow of the day finally stops at ten o'clock in the night, the white snow scene with the clear night sky, but it has a bit more romantic charm.

Qiu Tian, who had been busy all afternoon, finally took the time, brewed herself a hot bath, changed into a goose-yellow brocade vest and a small cotton jacket, and wore a long dress embroidered with gold and green threads, which was warm and playful.

Just when Chuncha was about to put on a thick makeup for her, she refused with one hand, she only took a lip paper and lightly applied powder to her face to absorb oil, and then walked to the Snow Pavilion with the warm stove that had already been warmed.

Qiu Tian is a beautiful woman in the country, but the heavy makeup that prevails outside the Dongshi Palace has drowned out her beauty and playfulness, but has added a touch of ugliness.

Chuncha glanced at the people and shouted proudly, "Get out of the way and block Miss's way." Qiu Tian looked at the back of Chuncha and smiled lightly, "It's out of the way!" Tell the people to put the lights on. ”

In order to set off the atmosphere, she still asked Qiu Jixi to take out a few treasured marquees, the characters on the lamps are lifelike, under the burning of the candles in the lamp, the slightly hot ground heat, the marquee slowly turns, the characters on the lamp skin seem to come to life, and even faintly hit the white snow, a marquee is like a drama, with the plot leading the dinner participants to the snow pavilion.

Qiu Tian in the Snow Pavilion was waiting here early, and she saw Qiu Qian'an, who was dressed in brown fur and a blue leather jacket, striding towards her, and behind her was Qiu Jixi in a fiery red brocade and Qiu Jibei in a dark green brocade robe, and even a few people behind the two who she didn't want to see.

She bowed half to Qiu Qian'an, "Let Daddy, you have been waiting for a long time, please take a seat." ”

Qiu Qian'an nodded, glanced at the stove on the table and the hot pot copper basin on it, "This is to eat hot pot?" ”

"Xiao Jiu, are you eating Qingshui mutton hot pot tonight?" Qiu Jibei swept the ingredients and hurriedly asked, while Qiu Jixi looked at his marquee, "Xiao Jiu, you asked the people to serve my marquee, they are all made by masters whose craftsmanship is about to be lost, and they are very noble." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Surely he looked at ......" Qiu Tian glanced at Qiu Jixi, and when he saw the scattered people still standing outside the Snow Appreciation Pavilion, he directly ignored and stood beside Qiu Qian'an, and was angry: "Daddy, didn't you say that you had dinner with Xiao Jiu today?" Why did Mrs. Qiu and Aunt Chun and Aunt Xia come here to enjoy the snow pavilion and get cold? ”

In and out of the words, Qiu Qian'an was blamed for bringing these three people, but Mrs. Qiu came to the door non-stop and asked for justice for her dog, which made her a little surprised - she couldn't help this little humiliation, I was afraid that I was used to living a good life in my leisure time, and I forgot to endure it.

When Mrs. Qiu heard Qiu Tian's words of "sticking to herself", she frowned lightly and smiled: "The words of the ninth girl made the concubine embarrassed. On the same day, the nine girls returned from the dust, and the concubine was busy with the affairs of the house and had not yet visited, and now she was looking forward to the nine girls holding a banquet in the Snow Appreciation Pavilion, so she followed the uncle with a thick face, isn't it that the nine girls don't want to see the concubine? ”

"Huh!" Qiu Tian smiled warmly, "Mrs. Qiu, what you said made me alienated from you, we are all family." The dinner party is naturally neat and neat, but today it happened suddenly, and the ingredients are limited, so I am afraid that it will be rude. ”

"Hey!" Qiu Jixi waited impatiently, "Mrs. Qiu, won't there be a family banquet in a few days?" You give Xiao Jiu a try and show off your skills! ”

"Seventh brother!" Qiu Tian snorted, and bowed to Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Qian'an seriously, "Daddy trusts Mrs. Qiu and hands over Uncle Guo's Mansion to Mrs. Qiu to take care of, how can I mention it casually and force Mrs. Qiu to hand it over to me." ”

Qiu Tian didn't want the right to host the small family banquet of Uncle Guo's Mansion at all, but wanted to take back the housekeeping authority that originally belonged to Qiu Tian.

"Huh!" Mrs. Qiu chuckled, "The ninth girl's state of mind is becoming more and more exquisite, and you have been worried a lot before Uncle Guo. Mrs. Qiu easily brought over the topic of handing over power, but her eyes that were originally indisputable were now staring at Qiu Tian intently, "The concubine is greedy, but she wants to try the skills of the ninth girl." ”

Qiu Tian did not dodge Mrs. Qiu's eyes, but looked at Mrs. Qiu with a smile, until Mrs. Qiu couldn't stand this look and took the initiative to move away.

Aunt Xia saw that Mrs. Qiu failed to take the opportunity to seek justice from Qiu Tian, and almost handed over the power in her hands, but she was a little surprised that Qiu Tian was so sharp-tongued, but she couldn't help but pick on the vegetarian dishes on the table, "This clear water mutton pot!" Why are there so many vegetarian dishes? ”

"Who said you want to eat clear water mutton pot tonight?" Qiu Tian chuckled, clapped his hands, and the moment the applause fell, the spring tea and the people entered the Snow Appreciation Pavilion with spicy hot pot and clear soup hot pot, and two hot pots were warm on the two stoves on the stone table.

The soup on a copper basin is as white as gauze silk, with the fragrance of wisps of chicken soup, and sections of green onions wander slowly in the copper basin like a big boat; The first thing that caught the eye on the other copper basin was the crimson oil shine, as well as the faint inch of chili pepper and other ingredients, the taste was spicy and pungent, which made Aunt Xia, who couldn't smell the spicy smell, sneeze three times in a row, and covered her nose in disgust, "What is such a spicy and pungent thing?" ”

"Will eating this damage your body?" Aunt Chun, who has not spoken, directly labeled the spicy hot pot as "eating bad body".

Qiu Qian'an, Qiu Jibei and Qiu Jixi didn't say anything yet, but looked at Qiu Tian together, Qiu Tian was not at ease with Aunt Chun and Aunt Xia's words at all, but took a spoon and gently pushed away the foam and grease on the chicken soup hot pot, and elegantly and carefully scooped up the chicken soup from the copper basin and poured it into the chopsticks in front of Qiu Qian'an, "Daddy, you can drink this chicken soup that has been boiling for a long time first." ”

Qiu Qian'an looked at Qiu Tian and was not in a hurry to explain, his brows were frivolous, "Little Jiu......"

"Daddy, this time it's Xiao Jiu's turn to test you, if you can taste what's in this chicken soup, you can eat the hot pot here." Qiu Tian gently sprinkled finely ground pepper into Qiu Qian'an's bowl, Qiu Qian'an did not rush to drink, but stirred the spoon, the fragrance of chicken soup rose, and wisps of heat spread out in the cold air, making people seem to feel a trace of warmth.

Qiu Qian'an looked at the milky white chicken soup in the bowl with orange-red soup lightly floating, "wolfberry, chicken, good codonopsis......" He easily identified the medicinal materials just by looking at the medicinal materials that Qiu Tian spooned for him, and then he took a sip, "The mellow aroma is thick, thick but not greasy, and the spicy white pepper makes people appetite great, but this chicken soup seems to be a little different from the chicken soup in the past." ”

"Of course, if it's ordinary chicken soup, how dare you get an axe in front of your uncle?" She smiled mischievously and scooped up a piece of pork belly from the pot, "Seventh brother, starling brother, do you know this?" ”

Qiu Jixi and Qiu Jibei shook their heads, and Mrs. Qiu saw the gods, not to mention Aunt Chun and Aunt Xia, who were confused, and even the well-informed Qiu Qian'an didn't know what Qiu Tian was asking.

"Daddy, taste it!" Qiu Tian poured the pork belly into Qiu Qian'an's bowl, Qiu Qian'an looked at her in confusion and ate it, "The taste is crisp and tough, what is this?" ”

"Pork belly!" Qiu Tiangang said, and the two aunts suddenly showed disgusted faces, and covered their noses with handkerchiefs, as if they had seen something filthy, even Mrs. Qiu couldn't suppress the expression on her face, "Uncle Guo, this pork belly is a pig's lower barn, it's better not to eat it." ”

"Why can't I eat pork belly?" Qiu Tian looked at the three of them puzzled, and then looked at Qiu Jixi and Qiu Jibei, who also had heavy faces, "You told me?" ”

"Xiao Jiu, if you and other palace nobles, if you eat this thing and it is spread out, it will not only humiliate the family, but also make the world look down on the queen mother in the palace, which will make the concubines in the harem look down on the queen mother, so as to ......"

"Enough!" Qiu Qian'an's face turned pale, and he ate the remaining pork belly in one bite, "The food is so expensive that no one can dislike it." Now that we are living on the hungry, what about pork belly? What about what's in the bottom column? ”

"In the past, this thing was cooked and could not get rid of the fishy smell and could not be eaten; Now, Xiao Jiu's clever tricks have become a delicacy, just looking at the medicinal materials under her once supplemented, I am afraid that this is the medicinal diet that the nobles in the palace are pursuing to nourish qi and stabilize the spirit. ”

Qiu Tian looked at Qiu Qian'an and knew that this dish he made was a medicinal hot pot, and he couldn't hold back his surprise, "Daddy, you actually know that this is medicinal food." ”

"Xiao Jiu, what is this dish called?" Qiu Qian'an changed his previous serious and dangerous appearance, and asked with a smile, Qiu Tian was not annoyed Qiu Qian'an answered the question, "Daddy, this medicinal diet is called pork belly chicken hot pot, stuff Yunying chicken into the washed pork belly boiling water, and then put in the appropriate amount of medicinal materials and simmer it with the civil and military fire for 2 hours, until the soup is white and thick, you can remove the chicken and pork belly and put them into the hot pot. ”

"According to legend, this pork belly chicken is a man's gas station and a woman's beauty salon!" Qiu Tian suddenly remembered that in the 21st century, roadside pork belly chicken shops would shout this sentence to attract customers, and blurted out, Qiu Jixi immediately asked curiously: "What do you mean?" ”
