Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“l know. Don’t worry. There are so many people at home. Big Brother is here too. You should worry about your students.”
Since they were going to the academy examination, why not let them have a good meal tomorrow? Let’s eat hotpot. Only when they ate well would they have the energy to go for the examination.”
As long as it was his wife’s idea, Gu Ying would agree to it.
Su Luo immediately stood up and said,”The spices I stir-fry are not for those students to eat.’
Guying, let me tell you, you can do it yourself. Those are all your students.
They will be giving you face if they go out. As the dean, shouldn’t you put on a show and show the students how good you are to them? Only then will they feel Dean Xue’s love for his son!
Students are also children.’
Su Luo was afraid that the two pots of seasoning that he had worked so hard to make would be given away.
His nervous expression made everyone in the courtyard laugh.
“Big Brother, don’t worry. I don’t want the seasoning you stir-fried. I’ll stir-fry it myself. The taste of my stir-fried food isn’t inferior to yours.”
As he spoke, the two of them started to compare. Su Luo insisted that Gu Ying stir-fry a pot of it to see who tasted better.
In the end, the princess’s manor still ate hotpot at night. Of course, the taste was still as good as before.
The students who were preparing to take the exam two days later had eaten the hotpot made by their dean the night before. They were all in tears.
Firstly, it was too delicious. Secondly, it was spicy. Thirdly, he was a little touched.
Regardless of whether they were faking it or not, Gu Ying was quite satisfied.
Gu Ying brought the students to participate in the academy examinations, and the area around West River Village had already begun planting seedlings.
Su Luo had nothing to do at home and followed MO Ruyue to the fields. Seeing the people bending over and working hard in the paddy fields made his blood boil. He suddenly squatted down, rolled up his pants, and took off his shoes. He insisted on going into the paddy fields and learning how to transplant rice seedlings from the old village chief.
The villagers did not know Su Luffs exact identity, but they could tell that he was the son of a rich family.
However, Su Luo had never put on airs in the village. She would even get along with the young men in the village. When she saw the women, she would also call them sister-in-law, aunt, and aunt. She was good-looking, and the people in the village liked her very much.
In the beginning, when she saw that he didn’t know how to transplant rice seedlings, she taught him step by step.
MO Ruyue, who was standing on the ridge of the field, felt a sour feeling in her heart when she saw how happy her big brother was. She would definitely cure her big brother’s infertility and let him give birth to a child. Then, she would nurture him well. After passing the throne to the child, she would let her big brother move here to live with her.
She could feel that her brother liked the life here. After all, the smile on his face couldn’t be fake.
However, it was not an easy task for her brother to hand over a country to others and get out on his own.
Big Brother was someone who cared about the world. He was especially concerned about farming. He probably wanted the farmers in the Northland to live such a life one day.
It seemed that he had to increase the cotton planting area this year. He had to talk to Ji Hong about this.
The cotton in the country was not that scarce at the moment. If they grew too much and could not use it up, they could sell it to Big Brother and ask him to exchange it with the seafood that was overflowing over there.
Not only did MO Ruyue plan to help the peasants of the Northland solve their hunger and hunger, but half a month later, hotpot suddenly appeared in the Imperial City of the Northland overnight.
This hotpot restaurant had just opened and had not attracted anyone’s attention. The shopkeeper had asked him to cook a pot at the entrance of the restaurant. In less than half a day, it had attracted many onlookers.
In the cold weather, the young and old men who had nothing to do wanted to come out and have some fun. When it was time for dinner, they wanted to find a good restaurant to see if there was any fresh game to eat. Suddenly, they smelled something that made their appetite increase.
The people who liked to eat came looking for the taste. When they reached the front, the fresh fragrance was even stronger. It was a taste that they had never tasted before. The people who passed by couldn’t help but stop and look. Some people directly entered the shop.
There were always two things, and gradually, there were more people.
“Waiter, give me a serving of this!”
“Alright, sir. Please come in first “Waiter, what new dish is that?
How do I eat it?”
“Sir, you have good taste. This is the new hotpot that our inn has introduced. It’s eaten like this…
“Waiter, bring me a small pot of that bubbling soup to try!’
Spicy hotpot was much more popular in the northern country than the non-spicy ones. This was because the weather in the northern country was freezing. Eating a hot pot in the middle of winter and adding whatever dishes one wanted to eat would make one sweat all over after eating it in the cold weather. It was extremely refreshing!
The hot pot that was not spicy had almost no sales.
After Su Luo received the report, she discussed it with MO Ruyue and decided to sell it elsewhere in the future. However, it was only a follow-up. For now, they would focus on the spicy hotpot ingredients.
When the Second Prince of the Northland learned that a hotpot restaurant had suddenly appeared in the Imperial City and that it was full of business until late at night, he had an idea.
He had never been able to find out who opened it, so he simply sent someone to cause trouble.
In this Imperial City, there was nothing that he could not obtain. If he really couldn’t get it, then he would destroy it. No one could get it.
Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year. It was the day when the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom would go to the Empress ‘place to have a reunion dinner with all his sons.
The Empress of the Northland had already prepared for it. The first and fifteenth of every month were the days when the Emperor would eat at her place. He would also stay here at night. This was her dignity as the Empress.
As for the Empress, in order to show her magnanimity, she would always invite all of the Emperor’s sons to come. They would have a reunion dinner together to show that she was virtuous and virtuous. She could also show that she was a mother in front of the Emperor’s other concubines and sons.
On the surface, even if he was not her son, he treated her equally. Therefore, the Emperor had always been quite satisfied with this Empress.
At the royal banquet, the Empress revealed a motherly smile as she greeted her biological and non-biological sons and ate the dishes she had carefully prepared today.
Of course, she couldn’t have prepared it herself. It was just that the dishes she ordered were made by the imperial kitchen.
“Mother, could this be the hot pot that is popular in the Imperial City?”
The Second Prince pointed at the two hot pots made of pure gold that were bubbling on the table. He had never seen them before, and it seemed very strange.
The Second Prince was born from the Empress. In fact, he had long considered himself as the Crown Prince, and no one had thought of the real Crown Prince, Sullo.
On this day of reunion, no one mentioned him, as if he didn’t exist.
All the princes present thought that this person was already dead.
The Third Prince was the son of the Imperial Concubine and had always been at odds with the Second Prince. However, on the surface, they were still brothers, and the two of them had their own factions supporting them.
Among the princes, the second prince and the third prince fought the most fiercely.
“Second Imperial Brother, haven’t you tasted it yet?
As far as I know, Second Imperial Brother has always been the leader of the capital. Whatever good food and drink there is, it can’t escape Second Imperial Brother.
Second Brother had yet to try this hotpot. It was called a spicy hotpot.
Ordinary people would not dare to eat it. The spiciness was really strong..”
