"My eldest sister is the most powerful eldest sister in the world!" Xia Qianqian raised her chin proudly, "When I grow up, I will also run for election!"
Qin and Xia Qianqian both looked at Xia Yunyun and smiled.
"Mom, the priest distributed some fruit cakes, come and try them." Xia Qianqian put the food on the table, and then she saw a plate of cold dumplings on the table, "Mom, are you making dumplings?"
"Well, they are all filled with meat. They have been cooked and are waiting for you to come home!" Qin picked up the dumplings and put them back into the pot to heat them up again.
Xia Yunyun whispered, "Big sister, mom bought some meat today. Brother Liu Xing also brought some meat."
Xia Qianqian was very shocked by Qin's generosity, but she was even more surprised that Liu Xing actually came to deliver meat!
They didn't have much contact with each other, so why would he send meat to her family
"Sister, Second Aunt also came today. Second Sister was so embarrassing that she cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself. Mother yelled at her." Xia Yunyun described the scene to Xia Qianqian in vivid detail.
Xia Qianqian was frightened again: "Yunyun, is our mother really that powerful?"
"Of course!" Xia Yunyun nodded vigorously.
Qin came over with hot dumplings and said embarrassedly, "I was too angry today."
"Mom, please hold on!" Xia Qianqian held Qin's hand tightly, "You have to be a little more ruthless when dealing with those extremely bad relatives!"
"I'll try my best." Qin answered reluctantly, "Eat the dumplings quickly, or they'll get cold again."
"good!"
Xia Qianqian was very hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and ate heartily.
They were called meat dumplings, but they were actually just cabbage with some minced meat added, with more vegetables than meat. For Qin and Xia Yunyun, this was already a very luxurious meal.
Qin was reluctant to eat a few herself, and kept picking up some for Xia Qianqian: "My Qianqian is starving, eat more! You will feel warm when you are full."
"Mom, you eat too. Yunyun eats too!" Xia Qianqian also picked up dumplings for them. The three of them, mother and daughter, ate and laughed, enjoying themselves.
… …
At the Gu Mansion, at Mrs. Gu's strong request, Gu Changsheng took out the copper cooking pot he had made himself and had hot pot with the whole family.
Han Yuqing saw such a strange pot for the first time and was very curious: "Third cousin, did you make this?"
"Yes." Gu Changsheng nodded and instructed the chef to put the dishes in the pot. The meat and vegetables were placed neatly according to color. The pork belly was placed on the round barrel in the middle of the pot, and soon the aroma of barbecue was emitting.
Madam Gu was very proud: "Yuqing, isn't Changsheng very smart?"
"Yes." Han Yuqing answered immediately. Not only was he smart, he was also handsome. Even if he was the son of the governor, he was not as handsome as his third cousin.
The kitchen brought over several bowls of prepared seasonings, including red peppers, green onions, salt, pepper powder, and so on.
"This seasoning was also prepared by Changsheng himself." Madam Gu scooped a spoonful of soup from the cooking pot with a spoon and added it to the bowl. "Stir it like this, and it will be especially delicious when you put the dishes in later."
Han Yuqing did as she was told, took a bite, and praised it endlessly: "It is indeed a delicacy in the world!" She put down her chopsticks gracefully and looked at Gu Changsheng lovingly: "Third cousin, you are amazing!"
"Average." Gu Changsheng deliberately sat with his second brother Gu Changlin, trying hard to ignore Han Yuqing's existence.
However, Han Yuqing was completely fascinated by him, and lost most of her reserve when she first came home: "Third cousin, I heard from my aunt that you want to open a restaurant, is it just to sell these hot pot delicacies?"
"No, I opened the restaurant for one person." Gu Changsheng curled his lips mysteriously.
