Chapter 150: Eating Hotpot
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Xinyuan actually felt that it was not hard. With someone helping to wash the vegetables and wash the dishes, he could just cook. This way, his mother would be more relaxed.
However, he only wanted to cook for his mother. It was an accident yesterday that everyone came to their house to freeload. But today was also an accident because he wanted to help Auntie Guo and Huo Ran.
At this moment, they had already walked into the village chief’s house. Jiang Xinyuan had not said anything. He was afraid that his mother would reject him.
Fu Xin saw the red oil on the table. “There’s red oil in today’s seasoning. We can make hotpot. This way, Little Xinyuan won’t have to work hard.”
Guo Na agreed with her suggestion. “Although I don’t know how to cook, I’m good at making hotpot. When I was too lazy to cook at home, I would make hotpot. I can eat hotpot for a day! It’s convenient and energy-saving.”
“But what about the fish?” Fei Fei felt that it was a pity not to eat the fish that she had finally caught.
“We can keep the fish and eat it tomorrow.” Fu Xin thought of a good idea.
After hearing Fu Xin’s words, everyone felt that it made sense. Hence, they took their things and walked towards Fu Xin’s house. Since the director didn’t come out to stop them, they took matters into their own hands.
When they were far away, Jiang Yi and Priest Zhang walked out of the house beside them. “It’s fate that Xinyuan was able to help them. After this calamity, their fates will be better.”
As Priest Zhang spoke, he looked at Jiang Yi. “Don’t interfere in this matter. Just let Xinyuan help them. It can be considered as accumulating merit for him.” Jiang Yi nodded.
Just like that, the group walked towards Room 4. When they reached the door, they suddenly bumped into the sister next door.
Fu Xin whispered to Zhang Nan, “This sister cooks super delicious food, especially grilled fish.”
“Grilled fish? What grilled fish?” Zhang Nan looked puzzled. “You’re eating delicious food behind our backs?!”
Fu Xin felt that she had said something wrong, so she turned around and did not answer. At this moment, Huo Ran said, “This auntie’s cooking is really delicious. I like it.”
Feng Fei was puzzled. “Did this auntie also make the grilled fish we ate for lunch?”
The children interrupted and covered up Zhang Nan’s question. Seeing this, Fu Xin didn’t continue.
“Hello, Auntie.” Jiang Xinyuan greeted the auntie next door politely.
“Hello, are you guys making fish soup?” The auntie next door couldn’t help but ask when she saw the fish they were fishing.
“No, we’re not eating fish today. We’re eating hotpot today. We’ll raise these fish and eat them tomorrow.” Huo Ran had a hundred thousand questions. There was a time to explain.
“But fish can’t be raised until tomorrow! If it’s raised until tomorrow, it’ll die! It won’t taste good if it’s not fresh,” the auntie next door reminded him. “Why don’t you exchange with me? You give me your small fish, and I’ll give you dried fish. How about that?”
“Okay! I like dried anchovies too.” Huo Ran was excited when she heard that he could eat dried anchovies. However, he looked at his small bucket again. There did not seem to be many in it. He should not be able to exchange for much dried anchovies.
If he had known earlier, he would have kept fishing. However, when he recalled the feeling of touching a snake, he did not regret it for a while longer.
“But I have very few small fish.” Huo Ran frowned.
“It’s okay. You’re all fishing wild fish. It’s better than my dried fish. I can change more for you.” After the sister next door said that, she began to change for them. Everyone changed a lot, enough to stir-fry a large plate of vegetables.
At the same time, she also gave Fu Xin and the rest some chili sauce as seasoning for the hotpot.
She liked this group of children. All of them were like porcelain dolls. She also liked Fu Xin and Zhang Nan. The two of them were living beauties, so she was naturally generous to them.
With this hot sauce as a seasoning for the hotpot, the hotpot today would definitely be delicious. Everyone could not help but look forward to tonight’s dinner.
After dinner, the children finished washing, and the mothers prepared to go back and get a change of clothes.
When Jiang Xinyuan heard this, he started to feel anxious. If he went back, Auntie Guo might break her leg on the way back. Or when she entered her house, the house would collapse and be smashed.
Jiang Xinyuan was extremely anxious, but he could not think of any other way. At this moment, the director walked in and dragged Guo Na’s luggage over
“It’s like this. When we went to your house to film just now, we realized that the beam of your house was broken and needed repair. It can’t be lived in anymore,” the director explained and then put the suitcase aside. Seeing this, Jiang Xinyuan felt relieved. Since the luggage had been moved over, it meant that Auntie Guo and Huo Ran were fine.
When everyone heard this, they could not help but break out in a cold sweat. If Guo Na and Huo Ran went back tonight, who knew what bad things would happen..
