As soon as Tongsuo's words came out, Ke Xisheng also thought of his eldest son, Brother Guang, and said worriedly: "Yes, I really hope that those officers and soldiers don't go to Shuihe Village."

"Hopefully."

"Brother, I'm still confused until now. Who are those officers and soldiers looking for, and why did they involve us?" Ke Xisheng didn't know why he fled until this time.

"Don't you all know?" Ke Shuisheng was taken aback. On the way to Qingzhou City, his daughter had already told him that the officers and soldiers were looking for a dumb person. He thought everyone knew about it.

"Brother, what do we know?" Ke Xisheng looked at him puzzled.

Tongsuo and Kong Dafu also looked blank.

"Those officers and soldiers are looking for the mute!" Ke Shuisheng said.

"Mute?" Kong Dafu was taken aback, and asked again: "Father, is the dumb you're talking about the one who works in Mr. Ge's restaurant?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"It's no wonder why the shopkeeper of the restaurant was arrested!" Kong Dafu said clearly, since the dumb man worked in the restaurant, the shopkeeper would inevitably be implicated.

"Uncle Shui Sheng, what restaurant do you mean Mr. Ge's?" Tong Suo became more and more confused the more he listened.

Ke Shuisheng glanced at them, and then slowly said: "Actually, the 'Fulin Restaurant' in Xiangsang Town was actually opened by Mr. Ge, and the officers and soldiers wanted to find the mute to work in Mr. Ge's restaurant. Those officers and soldiers did not find the mute. Arrest the shopkeeper of the restaurant."

"'Fulin Restaurant' was opened by Mr. Ge?" Ke Xisheng and Tongsuo looked surprised. Didn't Mr. Ge settle accounts for "Fulin Restaurant", why did he suddenly become the boss again?
"Yes, in fact, the real owner of 'Fulin Restaurant' is Mr. Ge."

After a while, Ke Xisheng said: "Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge are really tight-lipped. They have been in Shuihe Village for more than a year, and we don't know about it!"

He always thought that Ge Yunzhang was just the young master of a wealthy family in trouble, but he didn't expect that a thin camel was bigger than a horse.

Ke Shuisheng sighed, and got back to business: "The shopkeeper was worried that we would be implicated, so he asked the waiter in the restaurant to inform us to let us escape first. We are ordinary people, how can we fight with officials? So I am afraid that you will also be implicated, so And let you escape together."

"But who is that mute?" Ke Xisheng and the others asked again.

"I don't know that either."

"This mute is really a bastard!" Ke Xisheng cursed bitterly, thinking of the dangers encountered along the way, Ke Xisheng wished he could tear the mute into pieces.

At noon, Ke Mengshi saw that Ke Hanxue and the others were busy sewing gloves, so she came out from the inner courtyard and prepared to go to the side courtyard for lunch.

Ke Mengshi heard a knock on the door before she entered the side yard, so she knew it was from the Ge family without guessing.

As soon as Ke Mengshi opened the door, it was Ge's mother and son.

"Nie Hui, Xiaomei, quickly take the things in." Ge Shi ordered Nie Hui and Xiaomei behind him.

"Yes, Mrs. Ge."

Watching Nie Hui and Xiaomei move a basin and a stove from the carriage behind them into the living room, Ke Mengshi asked puzzledly, "Ms. Ge, what are you..."

"Grandma Xue'er, this is hot pot. People in Qingzhou City like to eat hot pot when it snows. It's cold, so this is the best thing to eat." Ge said with a smile.

The little fellows who were playing in the side yard heard the guests coming, ran out from the side yard again, and saw Ge's mother and son saying hello in unison: "Hello Aunt Ge! Hello Mr. Ge!"

"So cute!" Seeing a few cute children, Geshi smiled and squinted his eyes.

"Hong'er, go get your mother and your sister out." Ke Meng said to his grandson.

"Okay, grandma." After Hong'er finished speaking, she jumped up and down to the inner courtyard, and Zhu'er naturally followed.

When Ke Shuisheng and the others saw Nie Hui and Xiaomei moving things into the house, they also came out to help.

After a while, several members of the Ke Zhong family also came out.

Bo'er and Litao were still young, and when it snowed, they stopped hugging outside.

When Ke Hanxue saw the dozens of plates of meat and fungi on the table, as well as the charcoal stove and small pot, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Hot pot?!"

"Xue'er still knows it's a hot pot?" Ge said with a smile, but she didn't seem too surprised.

But Ke Shuisheng and others were very surprised, and asked: "Xue'er, how do you know this is hot pot?"

They were quite old, and they had just learned what it was from Ge Shi. It was also the first time for Xueer to leave Xiangsang Town, so how could she know about it?

The smile on Ke Hanxue's face stagnated, and she touched her nose guilty.

Seeing this, Ge Yunzhang opened his mouth to help her out: "I told Xueer before."

"It's no wonder." Ke Shuisheng and the others smiled knowingly.

"Okay, everyone, sit down quickly, it's really cold today, eat warmer." Ge said with a smile.

Ke Hanxue boiled hot water and asked everyone to wash their hands before sitting down at the table.

As soon as Ke Zhongshi and Ke Jiangshi sat down, they realized that the dishes on the table were all raw. After hesitating for a while, they asked shyly, "Ms. Ge, these dishes... are all raw?"

Both Ke Zhongshi and Ke Jiangshi thought that Geshi invited their family to dinner but forgot to cook the dishes, so they felt embarrassed to ask this question.

Hearing this, Ge Shi smiled and explained to them: "Eating hot pot is to eat while cooking. When the charcoal in this stove is hot and the bottom soup in the pot is boiled, put the food you want to eat into the pot. Here, eat it as soon as you open it."

"So convenient?" Ke Zhong and the others asked in surprise.

Xiaomei, who was helping to prepare the dishes, watched the bottom soup in the pot boil, and put a plate of mutton into it.

"You can eat it. This mutton won't taste good if it's too old." Ke Hanxue said, first scooped up two pieces of mutton for Aunt Ge and Ke Mengshi beside her.

Ge Yunzhang glanced at Ke Hanxue, and then said to Ke Shuisheng and others: "The dish is sauce, which can be dipped in mutton."

Ke Shuisheng picked up the mutton, dipped it in some sauce, put it in his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls, and said, "This mutton doesn't have any smell, and it's still very tender."

"The meat is sliced ​​thin enough that I can bite it even if I have bad teeth. Not bad!" Ke Mengshi also praised.

At this time, Ke Hanxue said with a smile: "The most important thing is to eat this warm, and not afraid that the food will get cold."

"Hehe, that's right, eating hot pot is for convenience and warmth." Ge said with a smile.

"It's the first time in my life to eat this hot pot. It's good! It's good!" Ke Meng said cheerfully.

"If you like it, you can do it yourself in the future." Ge Shi said.

"Ge Gongzi, this hot pot is a good thing, why doesn't your restaurant make hot pot?" Ke Hanxue asked while eating.

Ge Yunzhang smiled and said: "The weather in Xiangsang Town is not cold, and many important side dishes for hot pot can't be found in Xiangsang Town. Even if you make hot pot, it's not authentic, so you simply don't make it."
