Chapter 175 Hot Pot
After everything was arranged, Qibao placed the ruler in his hand on the podium and said, "Master He, this is the ruler I gave you. Do you like it?"

Mr. He was a little amused. He understood what this girl meant and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu. I like it very much."

Qibao continued: "Master He, please come with me. I have one more thing to explain."

When Qibao walked out of the classroom door, dozens of pairs of resentful eyes stared at her back.

Walking to the small courtyard of the school, Qibao took out a thread-bound book from his arms. It looked no different from the books of this era.

Master He took the book handed over by Qibao and looked at it. There were three big characters written on it: "Three Character Classic".

Master He opened it and read it. His eyes became brighter and brighter as he read, and he said with some excitement: "This book is more suitable for enlightenment than the books we use now. It is easier for people to understand its meaning, and it is also catchy to read, Ren. Righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety are all principles of life. What a great book!”

Qibao said: "Master He, you must keep this book safe. There is only one in this world. I hope you can pass on the principles in this book to the children."

"Yes! I wonder where Miss got this book from? This is much better than the enlightenment books in all schools now!" Mr. He said excitedly.

He is a book lover. As long as it is a good book, he will delve into its mysteries even if he doesn't sleep.

Qibao said: "I got it by chance. My grandfather asked me to give it to Master. At the same time, I hope Master can teach the children in the village well."

Mr. He solemnly promised: "Miss and the old man, please rest assured that these children will be left to me, and He will definitely give me all his money."

"Well, then I'll leave first, and Master He will also go and do some work." Qibao said.

When Qibao was about to leave the school, he looked back and saw He Jie still standing there, flipping through the book in his hand.

After Qibao went out, he saw that the villagers were still standing at the door of the school and did not leave. They wanted to see what the master's lecture was like, but they were afraid of affecting the children's listening, so they consciously did not enter the school gate.

After seeing Qibao come out, the old man said: "Everyone, please go back. The children are all in the village, so they can be disciplined by themselves."

So the old man took Qibao's hand and took the lead to tell him home. Old Man Li and Old Man Zhang followed closely behind. Seeing this, the other villagers also followed back.

When they arrived at the door of Xu's house, Old Man Li and Old Man Zhang did not go in.

"Brother, we won't go in. We'll go back first. We still have some things to deal with in the workshop."

"Well, you must come to my house for dinner next time you are free. I will ask the boss to send it to you!"

"No, no, I rented a bullock cart from the village and it's still waiting for us at the entrance of the village!" Old Man Zhang said.

"Okay, then I won't stay any longer. You guys go slower on the road."

"it is good!"

After the two said goodbye, they rushed towards the entrance of the village.

Now that the village school in Xujiacun has been built, and the children can go to school as they wished, they will now have to devote themselves to house renovation.

Qibao thought that now that the weather was getting colder, it was time for the smoothie business to end.

Mrs. Zhang likes spicy food, so she asked Mrs. Jin to make a dish of fried pork with chili peppers in the evening. Eat something spicy to keep your body warm.

After Qibao heard this, her eyes lit up. She was worried that she had nothing to do now, so she thought of the popular hotpot in her previous life.

As he said, Qibao pulled Wang towards the kitchen.

"Bao'er, what are you doing?" Wang asked curiously.

"I want grandma to help me make something to eat."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew that Qibao had a new way of eating, so she followed Qibao into the kitchen without saying a word.

Mrs. Jin is chopping chicken pieces and preparing to make chicken soup tonight.Seeing Wang and Qibao coming in, he quickly said: "Old Madam, Miss, do you have any instructions?"

Qibao said: "Grandma and I are here to study a new dish. You can go about your business."

"Yes."

Qibao prepared some dried chili peppers and planned to fry them in red oil.

When Mrs. Wang poured the dried chilies into the hot oil according to Qibao's method, she suddenly remembered the sound of stinging. The spiciness spread instantly, causing several people in the kitchen to sneeze continuously.

Qibao said: "Mr. Jin, please go out and get some air. Don't come in for now. Just wait for a while."

The two women thought that they couldn't help here. The spicy smell was really overwhelming, so they had no choice but to leave the kitchen and wait at the door.

Qibao took out two wet towels and used them to cover his and grandma's noses.

The reason Qibao didn't let Mrs. Jin and the others do it was because grandma liked to make some new dishes.

In the future, she can cook it with her own hands and feed it to her family members. As long as her family members praise how delicious it is, Mrs. Wang will be very happy and feel that she is valuable in this family.

Since it is what grandma likes to do, Qibao will support it unconditionally.

After taking out the fried crispy dried chilies, the oil in the pot has turned red.

Then pour the prepared various spices into the red oil and fry them again to create the fragrance. Suddenly, the fragrance in your nose is stronger than before.

Qibao's favorite is spicy hot pot, and Mrs. Jin happened to stew a pot of chicken soup, which makes the base soup taste the best.

After preparing the hot pot base, Qibao brought a clean basin to put it in, and asked Wang to put all the base in the pot into the gold basin. It was enough for several uses. Anyway, it wouldn't go bad if left out for two days in this weather.

When the pungent spicy taste gradually turned into a rich fragrance, the whole Xu family was filled with this fragrance.

The old man came all the way smelling the fragrance. After entering the kitchen, he said, "Old woman, what are you doing? Why have you never smelled this smell before?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I'm not your precious granddaughter, but she has some new eating tricks. Why don't you drag me to study it? I still don't know how to eat this red thing!"

The old man looked at the pot of red oil base on the stove. It looked spicy, so he said, "Qibao, how do you eat this?"

Qibao said: "This is not something that can be eaten directly. This is called hot pot. It is used to cook meat. It must taste delicious. We will eat this tonight."

"Okay, grandpa will be in for a treat again that night." The old man said with a smile. Although he didn't know what hot pot was, but Qibao said it was delicious, it must be delicious.

Next, Qibao asked Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin to prepare some more vegetables, vermicelli, and several kinds of meat slices. The portions were sufficient, enough for the whole family to eat.

Qibao took out the small stove at home, added some charcoal, took out a small iron pot and placed it on the stove, then put the prepared base ingredients on it and poured the cooked chicken soup directly into the iron pot.

At this time, Xiao Wu and Twelve Wei had already finished school. Judging from their expressions, they did not look unhappy at all in the morning. Instead, they had happy smiles on their faces.

The old man asked: "Xiao Liu, you looked unhappy when I sent you to school this morning, why are you so happy now!"

"Grandpa, Master praised me today, saying that I can learn it instantly, faster than any of them!" Xiao Liu said with a proud face.

The old man said: "You have already started to learn to read at home. Naturally, you are better than other people who have never learned to read. What is there to be proud of? They are much smarter than you. You just have some advantages over them. Don’t show off outside.”

"Oh! I understand, Grandpa." Xiao Liu replied somewhat unwillingly.

The old man said: "Okay, when your brother and the others come back, we will start dinner."
