When Ning Xi was cooking in the kitchen, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from the courtyard, she turned her head and saw He Shiyan followed by several young sons.

He Shiyan was the first to walk into the kitchen, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "I have time to greet you first, and I will take my classmates home, sorry." ”

When Ning Xi heard this, he laughed out loud, "Well, it's not a big deal, if you invite someone to come to the door next time, tell me in advance, I'm ready to greet guests." ”

"You see, we just moved here yesterday, and the kitchen is quite empty, so you can go to the street first and buy some ingredients and come back, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."

He Shiyan shook his head, "No, they all brought it." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and gestured, and the men walked briskly towards the stove room with large bags and small bags.

"Miss Ning, I heard that you and Brother He have moved here, so I will come to celebrate your housewarming."

Ning Xi raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the large pile of ingredients they were carrying, were they sure they didn't come here to eat?

She nodded and chuckled, "Thank you, just put the things here, Brother He, you can take them to the courtyard to sit for a while." ”

He Shiyan took people out, Ning Xi looked at a few men in the courtyard, it was not easy to eat enough, and they still had to go to class in the afternoon, or they had a convenient way to eat.

It just so happened that the mandarin duck boiler customized by Tuoxu blacksmith was brought over last time, and they brought so many meat dishes, don't waste it, let's eat hot pot today.

Ning Xi asked He Shiyan to place the boiler under the big tree in front of the yard, and put the blanched big bones in the pot to simmer and boil to make a rich bone broth.

Several of He Shiyan's classmates were quite generous, and the ones they brought over were all good meat, and she sliced pork and mutton into thin slices.

For vegetarian dishes, it's even simpler, and the lotus root, bean sprouts, and tofu can be served out quickly after being chopped.

Bai Zi asked them to look at a large table of lettuce, and then at the bubbling pot, "Miss Ning, are we eating a puff offering?" ”

"It's not like, why is there bone broth in this pot, and what is this pot that is shiny and red?"

He Shiyan didn't know either, and looked at Ning Xi together.

Ning Xi blinked, the hot pot in this era is called Paxia Offering?

She put the prepared dish in front of everyone and said, "I call it hot pot." ”

"You can eat it with sauce when it's cooked, you can eat it quickly, and you'll have to go back to the academy later."

Bai Ziyue picked up the chopsticks and tried to eat the way she said, the paixia offerings he used to eat in the restaurant were all boiled with water, the taste was average, I didn't think that this hot pot tasted so good!

Everyone sat in a circle, and Ning Xi sat next to He Shiyan and began to make hot pot and eat vegetables.

While eating, someone actually proposed to let Ning Xi open a restaurant specializing in hot pot.

Ning Xi chuckled, "There is a plucking offering in the city, how can I have guests in this restaurant." ”

"Miss Ning, your hot pot is much better than that of Paxia, the rich flavor of this bone broth has seeped into the ingredients, but those restaurants don't have it."

"There is also this oily red spicy pot, which is spicy and fragrant, and it tastes very energetic.

"Oh, hurry up, Brother He handed me a glass of water."

Bai Ziyue was almost choked by the spicy taste that rushed to his head, and he was waving to He Shiyan with red eyes.

Ning Xi patted He Shiyan's arm, "You sit, I'll go into the stove room to get water." ”

After a while, she came out with a kettle and poured a glass of water for everyone.

After drinking, everyone was surprised, "What kind of water is this?" ”

"It's cold, it's sweet and sour."

Ning Xi smiled: "It's just an ordinary sour plum soup, it's just chilled in a well." ”

"Even the sour plum soup, Miss Ning's cooking is better than the one sold outside, so I said that this hot pot restaurant can be opened."

He Shiyan's classmates tried their best to persuade, "How can you eat so happily in the restaurant now, just waiting for the time to cook the meat and vegetables is impatient, and the charcoal fire is not booming, so the business of the Xiaxia supply is not very good." ”

"You're so clever with this stove, the meat cooks so quickly."

Ning Xi still shook his head, not to mention the lack of funds, and the investment time is also long, how can it be so easy to do a catering business.

As soon as she has a hot pot here, other restaurants are not allowed to imitate it.

What's more, the disadvantage of the dixia offering lies in the stove, but it is not easy to create such a furnace.

This furnace was just sharpened by Blacksmith Xu according to her idea, and it took a lot of energy.

It's not like a perfume, it's her buff, and it's easier to do it with less.

After eating, He Shiyan asked them to go first.

Ning Xi felt that there was some taste of hot pot after eating, so he went to take a bath, and when he came out, he saw He Shiyan buried his head in washing dishes and chopsticks by the well.

Looking at his side face, it was much better than at the beginning, not only in complexion.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that he is handsome, he still has a bookish atmosphere, which adds a bit of charm

……

Time passed quickly, and the dark incense shop was successfully opened, and Ning Xi's name for perfume became famous in Yong'an City.

Every time the dark incense is new, those rich ladies and ladies immediately come to pick it up in person.

He Shiyan also came out of Songshan Academy for further study, and planned to go to the provincial capital to take the township examination in a few days.

This trip will take at least a month, and he is a little worried that Ning Xi is alone in Yong'an City, but it is not a matter to follow him through the mountains and rivers, and he is a little distressed for a while.

When he returned from the academy, he received another letter from Wang Linzhang from Jingshi, asking him to pass it on to Ning Xi.

He handed the letter over, "Letter from Wang Linzhang." ”

"For me?" Ning Xi didn't know why.

He Shiyan was silent, "You can choose not to accept it." ”

Ning Xi took the letter, "Look what he wrote." ”

The little white cat has been scratching the hem of her skirt, which shows that she really wants to see this excitement.

"Hmm." He Shiyan carried the book basket back to the room, and wanted to read the book for a while in front of the desk, but found that his attention was a little inattentive.

Ning Xi opened the letter and hugged the little white cat on his knees and looked at it together.

began to politely say that I hadn't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if she was doing well.

Later, he mentioned that his father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and the family was powerful, and when she and He Shiyan arrived in the capital, they could go to him.

Ning Xi pursed his lips, his father was rich and powerful, but he was not his.

And, what to do with him?

From the tragic fate of the original owner, it can be seen that Wang Linzhang is an ungrateful guy, and this kind of person is not worthy of deep friendship at all.

"Huh? Why does Wang Linzhang mention He Shiyan between the lines? ”

Ning Xi felt a little strange, Wang Linzhang gave her the feeling now that he wanted to use her to entrap He Shiyan.

But He Shiyan is now a poor talent in Wang Linzhang's eyes, what is there to bother him with?
