ps: I'm sorry, I have to post Spring Festival couplets today. I just finished my work. The New Year is coming soon. Lao Yu is here to wish everyone a happy New Year. I wish you all have money and wives soon!In addition, ask for tickets and collect!

"Auntie and sister are in the kitchen, and they said they want to prepare delicious food for Duo'er!" Duo'er said with a smile on her face.

"Cooking, so early?" Zhou Zhong was a little surprised. Although the days in winter are relatively short, it's only three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It's too early to cook now, right?

With doubts in his heart, Zhou Zhong carried Duo'er to the west wing.Originally, the kitchen was in the east wing of the courtyard next to it, and there was only one wall separating it from the west wing in Aunt Wang’s yard, so Zhou Zhong cut out a door in the wall between the two wings, so that it would be much more convenient for Aunt Wang and the others to enter and exit the kitchen. No need to go around Aunt Zhao's yard anymore.

Zhou Zhong entered the west wing room. The kitchen had been transformed into a food storage room. On several shelves moved from the kitchen in the front yard, there were several bags of rice and some fish, meat and vegetables, and there was another shelf There are many kitchen utensils that are not needed temporarily, such as pots, pans and pans. Although these things are very miscellaneous, they have been scrubbed very clean and placed neatly on the shelves. These are all cleaned up by Aunt Wang and Bracelet. from.

Through the small door cut out between the storage room and the kitchen, Zhou Zhong finally saw Aunt Wang and Biao'er busy, but the strange thing was that there was no smell from cooking in the kitchen. Just slice up portions of veggies and meat and place them on separate plates.

"Auntie, Bracelet, what are you planning to do?" Zhou Zhong asked a little strangely.

Hearing Zhou Zhong's voice, Zhuang'er turned around and smiled at him, "Brother, we are preparing to make antique soup. Butler Xu is getting old, and it is difficult to walk on the snowy road today. Mother said that he likes to eat it in snowy weather the most." Antique soup and drinking wine, so we are going to eat antique soup tonight, he also has a stove in his room, and we will send the pot and materials to his yard, so we won’t have to run back and forth at night!”

"Antique soup? What is antique soup?" Zhou Zhong asked in confusion. Judging from the meaning of the name, it can't be a dish made of some kind of antique, right?

"Antique soup is antique soup. Look, you use this pot to boil the soup, then put all kinds of vegetables and meat slices in the pot, dip it in the sauce and eat it." Bracelet said pointing For the two copper pots on the table next to Zhou Zhong's occasional "ignorance" of some common sense of life, Bracelet and Aunt Wang have been used to it for a long time, and now they have learned not to ask questions, because even if they ask Zhou Zhong would not answer either.

Zhou Zhong looked along the jade bracelet's small hand, and found two special copper pots the size of a basketball, and the pots were separated from the middle to form two semicircular spaces, and there were two different colors of soup inside. Light aroma.

Seeing the styles of these two pots, and looking at the plates of sliced ​​vegetables and meat on the table, Zhou Zhong suddenly realized and whispered to himself: "So the so-called antique soup refers to the hot pot. Eating hot pot on a snowy day is indeed one of the great joys of life, butler Xu really knows how to enjoy it!"

Speaking of which, hot pot is also one of Zhou Zhong's favorite dishes, especially sitting with a few friends, eating shabu-shabu and chatting with the sea and the sky at the same time, that is the real enjoyment.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong also rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help, but Aunt Wang and Biao'er were almost busy, and the two soup bases had already been cooked before. The soup base is similar to that of later generations, one is spicy and the other is not. The spicy one is made with condiments such as pepper, cornel sauce, ginger and garlic. People sweat profusely after eating, as for the non-spicy soup, it is much simpler, which is made with old hen, pig bones and various seasonings.

The soup base was ready, the sauce was ready, and the vegetables were almost cut, so Zhou Zhong couldn't help at all, so he had to accompany Duo'er to find Bai Qiu. Unfortunately, the dead dog saw Zhou Zhong He ran away, and finally got under the bed in Aunt Wang's bedroom and couldn't get out. Zhou Zhong was so angry that he really wanted to catch it, cut it into dog meat slices, throw it in a hot pot, cook it and swallow it!

Until Aunt Wang and Bracelet were ready, the white ball did not come out from under the bed, and finally Aunt Wang asked Zhou Zhong to deliver the hot pot to Butler Xu, but as soon as he turned around, the white ball came out from under the bed, and then Stuck in Duo'er's arms, only one buttocks were exposed and the tail kept wagging.

Butler Xu is a big eater, and Aunt Wang also prepared a lot of dishes for him. Zhou Zhong, carrying a pot in one hand and a huge food box in the other, braved the wind and snow to come to Butler Xu's residence in the front yard, only to find that He was humming a ditty while putting on his clothes, and it seemed that he was about to eat in the back.

Speaking of which, Butler Xu is living a very fulfilling life now. He rehearses Journey to the West every morning and evening, and goes to Fengyou Teahouse to talk about a book in the afternoon, and then returns with the tea customer's tip.

"Yo! Master, why are you here?" Seeing Zhou Zhong coming in with his things, Steward Xu was startled, and hurried up to greet him, and took the food box and pot.

"It's snowing so hard, my aunt is worried that the road will slip and fall to you, so she's going to eat antique soup tonight, and she asked me to bring you a copy so that you won't go out in the snow again!" Zhou Zhong explained again .

"Aunt Wang is really thoughtful, and I thank you, Master, for sending it yourself. This kind of kindness really makes this old slave very grateful. Even if I am broken into pieces in the future, it will be difficult to repay your great kindness, Master!" Steward Xu probably told a storyteller. He said too much, but he was able to say such nasty words as repaying his kindness with just a meal.

"Okay, let's talk about the repayment later. You can eat first, and I'll eat later!" Zhou Zhong has long been immune to Butler Xu's words of loyalty. If it's too much, I won't feel it anymore.

Seeing that Zhou Zhong didn't care, Steward Xu laughed twice, and then he saw that Zhou Zhong turned around and was about to leave, so he hurriedly called out: "Master, I have a good wine I just bought here, why don't you get old?" How many drinks will I have with you?"

After Steward Xu earned money from storytelling in the teahouse, he handed it all over to Zhou Zhong at first, but later Zhou Zhong felt that although Steward Xu was not an outsider, he must have his own expenses at ordinary times, and it was not unreasonable for Steward Xu to hand it all in. That's great, so he divided [-]% of the money Steward Xu earned every day as a reward for Steward Xu's money. At first, the other party naturally refused to accept it. In the end, Zhou Zhong finally persuaded him to accept it. As a result, Steward Xu used the money I bought all kinds of food and wine, and my life was as nourishing as before.

When he heard about the fine wine, Zhou Zhong couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, but after thinking about it seriously, he refused with some regrets: "Forget it, I won't drink the wine, Bracelet's nose is so sharp. , she can smell even a little alcohol, and she has to write a manuscript tonight, so it's really not suitable for drinking!"

Zhuan'er and Aunt Wang don't like other people to drink alcohol, especially Zhuan'er, she can't smell alcohol since she was a child, otherwise she will feel nauseous and retching, and even won't be able to eat for a few meals.The last time Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu drank secretly, and when they woke up the next day, the smell of alcohol remained on their bodies, but after bracelet smelled it, they didn't eat anything for the whole day.

After Zhou Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Butler Xu immediately got up to see him off, and walked out of the gate of his yard, Zhou Zhong asked Butler Xu to go back, and turned around to leave by himself.But at this moment, the two of them suddenly heard the 'dong dong' sound of being smashed into the gate of the front yard at the same time, and the sound was very hurried.

"Who is knocking on the door at this time?" Zhou Zhong stopped, turned around and asked with some doubts.

"It should be Wu Shan who came back. He said this afternoon that he was going to pull meat outside the city. He should have come back a long time ago, but he hasn't seen anyone until now." Xu Butler replied with a relaxed expression on his face. After Wu Shan moved in, he had a companion in the front yard, and the two often drank and chatted together.Wu Shan didn't come back this afternoon, and he was still a little worried. Now that he heard someone knocking on the door, who else could there be besides Wu Shan in this weather?This made Steward Xu finally feel relieved.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhong looked at the snow-covered road, and immediately said to Steward Xu: "The snow is so heavy, Steward Xu, please don't come out, I'll just go and open the door!"

Zhou Zhong didn't wait for Steward Xu's objection as he spoke, he raised his leg and walked to the gate, then raised the bolt of the crossbar, and slowly opened the gate.But what he never expected was that when the door opened, a man covered in blood rushed in, and two long bloody handprints were drawn on the two doors by his bloody hands.

Seeing such a bloody person all of a sudden, even though Zhou Zhong had seen many big scenes in his previous life, he was still taken aback and stepped back suddenly to prepare for defense.But only then did he realize that the blood man who had fallen in had passed out, and looking outside, Zhou Zhong only saw two rows of long footprints and a pile of blood outside the door.

Finding that there was no danger, Zhou Zhong felt relieved, and then frowned and carefully looked at the blood man in front of him. He saw that the man was tall and big, with blood all over his body, including his face, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all. An obvious wound could be seen on the back. Judging from Zhou Zhong's experience, it should be a knife wound. The wound was long but not deep, so it should not be fatal.

"Huh? Why is this person's figure so familiar?" Zhou Zhong looked at this person more and more familiarly, and then he turned him over and looked at him carefully, and finally shouted, "Damn, isn't this Wu Shan? Who is it?" hurt you like this?"
