The group favors the little queen, my dad is the big villain!

Just being an old lady from the An family didn't affect Chu Zhaozhao's appetite at all.

After Chu Zhaozhao tasted the first bite of the shabu-shabu pork, his eyes widened immediately, and he quickly stuffed the second and third bites into his mouth...

This is too delicious!

The pot in front of them was mildly spicy on one side, and clear soup on the other. Especially the meat that had been cooked on the slightly spicy side, the whole mouth was filled with an indescribable "refreshing feeling".

"Actually, there are many pots like this among the people, but it's still rare to find one that can produce this kind of taste." Chu Yize said.

The folk pot is called Gudong pot, which is named after the "gudong" sound it makes when water is boiled in an earthen pot and food is thrown in.

Although the one in front of me is somewhat similar, it is not exactly the same.

Xu Zhengbai did not sit down with everyone, but took the initiative to pick up vegetables and cook meat for everyone, and explained a few words along the way.

"The soup base of this hot pot is made by the grassroots themselves. It contains a lot of herbs that nourish qi and blood. In addition, mutton is warm in nature. Especially in winter, you will feel extremely warm after just a few mouthfuls."

It’s November now, and it’s time to eat hot pot!

The hot pot of this dynasty only boiled the meat in water, so the taste was naturally incomparable to this.

Especially the spicy hotpot is something that is not available in Da Shengguo!

"Why didn't you serve barbecue today?" Chu Xiaoliu's mouth was full of food, and he completely lost his former noble demeanor.

At the Chu family a few days ago, Xu Zhengbai not only brought hot pot, but also barbecue!

"Don't worry, Sixth Young Master Chu, we'll be up in a moment..." Xu Zhengbai said patiently.

After the meal, everyone was full and full, with bulging bellies.

Even Anshi, who has always been a moderate dieter, has gone from being 70% full to 10% full.

Xu Zhengbai ordered people to serve digestion tea for everyone, and then quietly came to Chu Zhaozhao's side, "Can the Queen come out for a while?"

Although the little girl in front of him was only a five-year-old child, Xu Zhengbai's attitude was still upright.

If you don’t hold your thighs now, when will you wait?

Xu Zhengbai did have his own selfish motives. When he saw the little queen for the first time, he felt as if there was something pulling her from somewhere, and he felt very close to her.

Chu Zhaozhao was invited all the way to a very formal room.

"Queen, please take a seat." Xu Zhengbai stretched out his hand to guide her to the stool behind the desk.

Dongzhu, who followed, quickly helped her adjust the chair position. Chu Zhaozhao didn't show any pretense and was helped to sit on it.

She looked at the man in front of her.

Compared with the last time they met, Xu Zhengbai had already changed out of his shabby robe, and now he was dressed in white. He took out a folding fan from somewhere, and he seemed to have a somewhat free and easy attitude.

Xu Zhengbai knelt down towards the little man in front of him without thinking.

As a time-traveler, he was not used to having to kneel at every turn at first, but when he followed the locals, his ambition that he had just traveled through had been completely worn away.

"what do you want?"

Before Xu Zhengbai could speak, Chu Zhaozhao spoke to him.

Dad once said that everyone has something they want. As long as they grasp this thing well, that person can use it for themselves.

Coincidentally, she liked Xu Zhengbai.

Compared with adults, children's thoughts are extremely simple. I just like you, so that's it.

Many years later, Chu Zhaozhao sighed countless times because of Xu Zhengbai, how wonderful the connection between people was.

Xu Zhengbai had already thought about what he wanted to say, but was interrupted by the bluntness of the little man in front of him.

He couldn't help but be surprised. Although the children raised by aristocratic families are precocious, this little queen is only five years old, right?

Xu Zhengbai quickly gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "The Cao Min once did business in Zhao County, but there was a collusion between the government and businessmen there. The county magistrate was jealous of the profits of the hot pot restaurant, so he robbed the Cao Min's hot pot restaurant and almost sent the Cao Min to death.

Into prison."

"So you want revenge?" Chu Zhaozhao's voice was a bit childish, but he hit the nail on the head.

Xu Zhengbai nodded firmly.

He felt more and more that the little queen in front of him was indeed not a thing in the pool, but a five-year-old child had such quick thinking.

Just when he was thinking about explaining a few more words, the little man in front of him nodded happily.

"I said, I will protect you." Chu Zhaozhao said, "When you finish your work here, go to Zhao County."

She thought for a while and then said, "Remember, from today on, your backer is this palace, not the Chu family."

When Chu Zhaozhao said the last few words, his face was calm and calm.

But just like this, Xu Zhengbai suddenly felt his heart shake, and his whole back became stiff.

"Thank you, Queen." Xu Zhengbai responded solemnly.

Chu Zhaozhao jumped down from the chair and walked outside with light steps, feeling happy in his heart.

This hot pot is so delicious, I will definitely make money in the future.

By then, she will become a rich little queen!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel a little guilty... What's the word for this?

White wolf with empty gloves?

Bah bah bah!

Think about it another way, Xu Zhengbai himself said that he was bullied when doing business, but with himself as his backer, he would not be bullied.

In this case, the business can become bigger and stronger!

I seem to have seen a word in some book called win-win cooperation?

Yes, yes, win-win cooperation!

"When will it open all over the country?" Chu Zhaozhao's little steps also had a little bounce, "Okay, okay!"

*

When returning to the palace, Chu Zhaozhao first said goodbye to his mother's brothers, and then went to pick up Sister Chen Fei.

Several people rushed back to the palace before the palace door was locked.

Chu Zhaozhao thought about going to Ci'an Palace to pay his respects to his mother...

She led Dongzhu on the palace road, thinking about her promise to Xu Zhengbai to go and see the opening of Shuizhuolou in three days.

Probably because he was so absorbed in his thoughts, Chu Zhaozhao bumped into someone without paying attention.

Ouch!

Chu Zhaozhao was knocked back a few steps by the impact, which was not too big or too small, and he fell onto his butt without delay.

"Ouch!" A very familiar voice rang, "Your Majesty, why did you bump into the Queen on purpose?!"

Wuwei complained while hurriedly helping the queen who fell to the ground.

Chen Luo raised his eyebrows.

When he came from the opposite side, he saw this little girl from a distance.

As a result, they all bumped into each other, and she didn't even see him.

"Little girl, what are you thinking about?" Chen Luo said with a smile, "I just came back from my mother's place, and I heard that you left the palace today."

Chu Zhaozhao's head was buzzing, and she subconsciously rubbed her butt.

It hurts!

"Little brother, why don't you look at the road when you're walking?" Chu Zhaozhao complained with a small mouth.

Chen Luo first glared at Wuwei who was gloating about his misfortune, and then said slowly, "I had already stood still just now, but you were walking too fast."
