Chapter 228: It’s not okay if you don’t know how to love others
They stayed in the inn for two days. Although the rain was a little lighter, it was still pouring down.
Su Yue seemed unhurried, thinking that there was still more than a month left before the imperial examination, so there was still plenty of time and no need to rush.
And for safety reasons, we must wait until the rain stops completely before hitting the road. We cannot take this risk.
Shangguan Haomu's morning sickness has improved slightly in the past two days and is no longer as severe as before.
They had nothing to do, so they gathered together to play mahjong to kill time. Even their followers were attracted by the lively atmosphere and joined in.
For a moment, the card table was bustling with laughter and shouts.
However, Shangguan Haochen was not affected by the pregnancy at all. He had a lot of fun and was full of energy.
Su Yue felt a headache looking at the chaotic scene, so she simply sent them to another room to play.
Afterwards, Su Yue accompanied Shangguan Haomu and Mu Feng to chat quietly in the room.
The room was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere, which was in stark contrast to the noise in the next room.
Su Yue gently poured a glass of warm water for Shangguan Haomu: "Amu, how do you feel today?"
Shangguan Haomu smiled and replied, "Much better. Sorry to have worried you."
Mu Feng continued, "I don't know when the rain will stop, but this is a good opportunity for us to have a good rest."
The three of them chatted one after another, and the topics ranged from the children's future, to what they saw and heard on the road, to the trivialities of life. They were free, warm and comfortable.
The sound of rain outside the window seemed to become the background music for their conversation, making this moment seem even more peaceful and beautiful.
At night, Su Yue's stomach started to growl, and she suddenly wanted to eat hot pot.
Once this thought came up, I couldn't suppress it.
So, she decided to borrow the inn's kitchen and prepare the hot pot herself.
Su Yue found the shopkeeper and gave him some silver. The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said repeatedly, "Miss, please use it as you like."
Su Yue came to the kitchen and was about to start cooking when Mu Feng and Shangguan Haomu rushed over to help.
Su Yue sternly refused: "You all should take a good rest and don't interfere. I can do it myself."
Shangguan Haomu had no choice but to turn around and immediately go to the room where they were playing mahjong.
As soon as he entered the door, he warned: "Yun Yan, Xiao Fan, stop playing and go to the kitchen to help Yue Er."
After hearing this, the two of them put down the mahjong in their hands and prepared to get up without any hesitation.
At this time, Liu Yixiao also expressed his desire to help, but Shangguan Haomu stopped him on the grounds that he was injured.
In fact, Shangguan Haomu also considered that if Liu Yixiao was there, it might be difficult for Su Yue to take things out of the space.
After all, the fewer people who know about their space affairs, the better. If it is accidentally exposed, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Although Liu Yixiao was somewhat reluctant, he knew that Shangguan Haomu was doing this for everyone's good, so he had no choice but to stay in the room and continue recuperating.
Shen Yunyan and Xiao Fan walked quickly towards the kitchen, ready to help Su Yue so that everyone could enjoy the delicious hot pot as soon as possible.
The innkeeper was a charming woman in her thirties. She had noticed Su Yue and her group a long time ago.
At this moment, she saw Su Yue busy in the kitchen and came over.
She said with a worldly look on her face: "Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how can a woman like you serve a group of men?
And your husband is so tactless that he actually lets you work here alone."
Su Yue had heard this kind of talk so many times that she was used to it. She smiled and responded calmly, "No, I don't usually have to worry about it. It's just that I'm the only one who can make this hot pot today, and I love it."
The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, his face full of disapproval, and continued: "Sister, in my opinion, when looking for a husband, you can't just pick the good-looking one. You can't marry someone who doesn't know how to care for others.
You, you just pamper them too much. Men are just cheap bones. They will start a dyeing factory if you give them some color."
After hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She was well aware of her husbands' sincerity and love for her, and they were definitely not what the shopkeeper said.
But she was too lazy to explain more to the shopkeeper. After all, they were just passers-by in her life. There was no need to force them to be the same if they had different ideas.
Su Yue continued to focus on the task at hand, preparing the ingredients, and no longer paid attention to the shopkeeper's nagging.
When the shopkeeper saw that Su Yue didn't respond, he felt bored and walked away after muttering a few words.
Su Yue thought to herself that it was enough for her to understand her own happiness and there was no need to prove or explain it to others.
She looked forward to seeing the satisfied looks on her husbands' faces after the hot pot was ready. That was what she cared about most.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Shen Yunyan and Xiao Fan hurried over.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Su Yue busy at work and hurried forward to take over the work in her hands.
Su Yue smiled and stepped aside. Looking at their serious expressions, she thought to herself that she was very good at judging people. They were never the kind of people who relied on their favor to become arrogant.
Then, Su Yue took out the carefully prepared hot pot base from the space and began to stir-fry it skillfully.
The kitchen was suddenly filled with a rich aroma.
She used the delicious chicken soup she had prepared earlier as the base of the pot and prepared a delicious shuangyuan hotpot.
Afterwards, Su Yue took out the processed minced meat, seasoned it skillfully, and kneaded it into round meatballs.
The ready-made shrimp pastes were also neatly placed aside.
Su Yue took out some fresh beef from the space again, handed it to Shen Yunyan and said, "Yunyan, cut the beef into thin slices."
Because there were other people present, Su Yue had to act cautiously. He couldn't take out many things and use them at will. He could only try to take things that were not inconspicuous.
Xiaofan helped wash the vegetables
For a moment, the kitchen was filled with steam, and the three people cooperated tacitly, busying themselves preparing the upcoming delicious hot pot.
Su Yue searched carefully in the space and finally found some crispy meat. The golden and crispy appearance made people salivate.
There are also fresh and tender fish slices, as thin as cicada wings, with an attractive luster.
The duck intestines are cleaned and neatly processed and coiled together in circles.
Various mushrooms exude a unique aroma. In addition, there is beef brisket stewed until soft and tasty, each piece is full of rich soup.
She glanced at the beef rolls, feeling happy but helpless at the same time. She sighed inwardly, thinking it was a pity that she couldn't eat even though she wanted to.
After preparing everything, Su Yue turned to Xiao Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, go and ask the followers to come down and help carry the things."
Xiao Fan responded and hurried upstairs.
After a while, the followers followed Xiaofan to the kitchen.
Su Yue smiled and said to them: "Everyone has worked hard along the way, I have prepared something for you, let's have a good meal together."
When the followers heard this, expressions of gratitude and surprise appeared on their faces, and they all expressed their gratitude.
Su Yue methodically directed everyone to bring the ingredients and pots upstairs one by one, ready to enjoy this sumptuous hot pot meal.
