"Two distinguished guests, your ribs, prawns, mandarin duck pot and Baihua wine have arrived. Please use them slowly."

After the boss put the copper cauldron and the wine on the table, he continued: "I wish you two that after you finish eating, they will never be separated, stay with each other, have a son soon, and grow old together... From now on, your sweetheart will always be in your eyes.

I envy mandarin ducks but not immortals."

When Ji Ruoxue first listened, she found it very interesting. When the boss said, "Have a son soon," her cheeks flushed and turned red. She quickly lowered her head and hid it under the table.

When Mu Qiuhuang heard the words "give birth to a child early", her face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but glance at Ji Ruoxue secretly... As soon as the boss finished speaking, Mu Qiuhuang took out a face value card from his sleeve.

He handed over a large silver note and said, "This is for you."

The boss took the banknote and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the face value on it. After looking at the two of them again, he looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a knowing look. Just when the boss was about to say the blessing again

, Mu Qiuhuang quickly waved her hand and sent the boss away.

After opening the lid of the copper pot, Mu Qiuhuang discovered that the mandarin duck pot was completely different from the mandarin duck pot in the hot pot that he imagined. Although the copper pot in front of him had a stove cooking underneath, except that there was no mandarin duck pot.

Except for the baffle in the middle of the pot that separates the clear and red soups, there is no soup base. Besides, the boss did not prepare any other ingredients except the big pot. It turned out that all the ingredients were gathered together by others.

In this big pot, the so-called "Yuanyang" refers to spareribs and prawns... okay! Spare ribs and prawns can be paired together, called "Yuanyang", which can be regarded as an invention of the innkeeper.

Strong.

However, this pork ribs, prawns and mandarin duck pot still looks very good. Although it is a hodgepodge, it is still layered, with fiery red prawns, browned pork ribs, white lotus root slices as the base, and various seasonal ingredients.

The side dishes appear to be in various colors including red, orange, light, green, white and purple.

I don’t know if it’s because this pot of food is so delicious, or because both of them are hungry, or because they have received good education since childhood, which makes them always remember the rule of “eat without speaking”... In short, Mu

Qiuhuang and Ji Ruoxue didn't speak for a long time.

In the quiet corner, apart from the sizzling sound of the pot bottom, there was only the occasional clinking of bowls and chopsticks.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qiuhuang stopped eating and raised her head to look across.

The hot mist rising from the copper pot was like the fairy mist in the green mountains after rain, forming a hazy mist between the two of them. Her little face was on the other side of the mist, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, like a fairy.

Ji Ruoxue didn't seem to notice Mu Qiuhuang's actions. At this moment, she was lowering her head and concentrating on dealing with the prawn in her hand. She breathed hot air gently in her mouth and stared at the prawn in her hand motionlessly.

Those small hands that looked like catkins looked clumsy when facing the big shrimp. It took them a long time to peel off the shrimp shell... And her appearance at this time was also...

It's very cute, like a greedy cub facing the prey in front of it, but not knowing how to eat it.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile slightly, put a clean small bowl in front of her, then picked up the chopsticks and picked out a few prawns from the copper pot... Mu Qiuhuang's hands had been holding weapons since he was a child.

There was a layer of calluses all over, and they didn't look as good-looking as Ji Ruoxue's hands, but these hands, which didn't look very dexterous, were very fast and good at peeling off shrimp shells. It took a long time for Ji Ruoxue to peel off her hands.

When the shrimp was put into his mouth, the shells of the shrimps that Mu Qiuhuang had just picked up had all been peeled off, leaving only the snow-white shrimp inside.

Just as Ji Ruoxue picked up her chopsticks and hesitated in front of the prawns in the pot, Mu Qiuhuang gently pushed the shrimp she had just peeled in front of Ji Ruoxue.

Ji Ruoxue was startled when she saw this. She raised her head and glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, her cheeks again

She blushed slightly for the first time, but she did not refuse Mu Qiuhuang's kindness.

After Mu Qiuhuang saw the other party picking up the shrimps she had just peeled with her own chopsticks, a look of joy filled her face, and she started to peel the shrimps for the other party again.

He peeled it very quickly. Whenever Ji Ruoxue caught the last shrimp in the bowl, he would always push a small bowl full of shrimps in front of Ji Ruoxue at the right time.

During the whole process of peeling and eating shrimps, they did not speak.

Whether Mu Qiuhuang was peeling shrimps or doing something else, her eyes never left Ji Ruoxue's body, her eyes full of doting.

Ji Ruoxue lowered her head from beginning to end and did not raise her head to look at Mu Qiuhuang. But if you lower your head and look carefully, you will find that there is an endless sweet smile in Ji Ruoxue's eyes.

…

Just when Mu Qiuhuang saw that the prawns in the pot had been picked out and peeled, and was about to call the boss for another pot of prawns, Ji Ruoxue put down her chopsticks, raised her head and said to Mu Qiuhuang: "I

I am full."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang quickly picked up the towel prepared nearby and handed it over.

Ji Ruoxue took the towel, but did not say a word of thanks, acting as if she should take it for granted. When Mu Qiuhuang saw the other party acting like this, he looked contented. In fact, he was indeed very happy.

Moreover, the more the other person is like this, the happier he will be. Because generally speaking, no matter who they are, they will only be so casual in front of the people closest to them.

After Ji Ruoxue wiped off the oil on her lips that was accidentally stained while eating shrimp, she looked at Mu Qiuhuang and suddenly smiled, and she smiled very happily.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang subconsciously thought that he was embarrassed in some way, which made the other party laugh. After he looked at himself up and down, and then picked up a towel to wipe his face, he was puzzled.

He looked at the other person and asked: "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue pointed at the large pile of shrimp shells in front of Mu Qiuhuang and said with a smile: "If someone who doesn't know better sees the shrimp shells on the table, they might think that you ate all the shrimp shells in the pot alone."

Where are the prawns?”

After hearing the other party's explanation, Mu Qiuhuang understood the real reason why the other party was laughing. He continued the other party's words with a smile on his face and said: "If it's just the accumulation of shrimp shells, it looks like I've eaten up the whole pot of prawns."

, but who knows, I just like peeling shrimps and watching my beloved eat the shrimps I peeled."

When Ji Ruoxue heard the word "Yiren", a smile spread across her lips, and she said with a smile: "Since you only like peeling shrimps and don't like eating them, then from now on we will work together and divide all the shrimps you peel."

I'll be responsible for eating it...how about it? My distribution should be fair!"

Mu Qiuhuang smiled when he heard this and said, "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."

Ji Ruoxue listened to his words and did not speak again, but her cheeks, which had just returned to normal, once again blushed.

After a long time, Ji Ruoxue suddenly said: "I want to drink some wine."

"Okay." Mu Qiuhuang responded, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to drink the two jars of fruit wine she had just ordered.

Mu Qiuhuang picked up one of the jars, opened the mud seal, and filled the wine bowl in front of her for her.

At the same time, Ji Ruoxue also opened another jar of wine and filled the wine bowl in front of him for him.

The two of them picked up their wine bowls at the same time and smiled at each other.

Ji Ruoxue pushed the wine bowl forward and said, "Come here, respect our acquaintance."

"Okay." Mu Qiuhuang raised the wine bowl and touched it lightly.

The next moment, Mu Qiu

Huang drank all the wine in his bowl.

Ji Ruoxue just took a small sip before she choked and coughed. Moreover, just this small sip of wine caused her cheeks to turn red again.

"Drink slowly." Mu Qiuhuang quickly expressed concern upon seeing this.

"No...it's okay." Ji Ruoxue waved her hand and drank the remaining wine in the bowl again.

"This is my first time drinking." Ji Ruoxue explained.

Mu Qiuhuang smiled when he heard this, and said something strangely: "This is also my first time drinking with a girl."

"right?"

"Um."

"I still want to drink." Ji Ruoxue said.

Looking at Mu Qiuhuang, who had not moved for a long time, he explained: "I just drank too fast and choked. It was not because I was drunk."

"Okay!" Mu Qiuhuang agreed.

The reason why he did not refuse Ji Ruoxue was because he found that the alcohol content of the wine was indeed not very high, and also because when he poured the wine, he only poured it to the other party until it was seven percent full.

"Let's touch it again!" Ji Ruoxue said and picked up the wine bowl again.

Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang picked up the wine bowl and touched it with the other party, reminding him: "Drink slowly. Although the alcohol content is not high, it is still your first time drinking. If you are greedy, you will inevitably drink too much."

drunk."

"Yeah." Ji Ruoxue agreed softly, and this time she just took a sip of wine.

Ji Ruoxue shook the wine bowl a few times and said, "It seems that my master is right."

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang's confused look, Ji Ruoxue explained: "My master Li Taibai once said, 'The most delicious thing in the world is wine.' Although I didn't win his argument at the beginning, I still didn't believe him.

I thought he was being sophistical... But just now, I don’t know why? I suddenly wanted to drink wine, and I also thought it tasted good."

Hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly and said, "This is normal. Wine is the most enjoyable thing. People usually want to drink when they are extremely happy."

"Um."

Ji Ruoxue nodded and replied, "I'm very happy today."

"Really? Actually, I am the same."

"Haha, why are you happy?" Ji Ruoxue asked deliberately.

Mu Qiuhuang looked into Ji Ruoxue's eyes and said seriously: "Because, I met you."

After Ji Ruoxue looked at him for a moment, she stuck out her tongue at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "You are slippery again."

"I'm really not glib, this is all my truth." Mu Qiuhuang explained quickly.

"I don't believe it?" Ji Ruoxue blinked her big bright eyes, and a smile spread across her lips.

"Really, I swear I never lied to you." Mu Qiuhuang quickly expressed her sincerity.

"It's okay for me to believe you, unless..." Ji Ruoxue suddenly paused at this point.

"Unless what?" Mu Qiuhuang An couldn't help but ask.

Ji Ruoxue said with a smile: "Then... unless you can say this to me for the rest of your life, otherwise, you are glib."

Mu Qiuhuang laughed and said: "One life is not enough, it takes three lifetimes, it takes dozens of lifetimes..."

Hearing this, Ji Ruoxue picked up the wine bowl and took another sip of wine. She looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a smile on her face. She remembered what the innkeeper said just now: The person you love is in your eyes, and you don't envy the mandarin ducks.
