Chapter 688: Eating Hot Pot Tonight

But realizing that there were people around, he regretfully withdrew his gaze.

"I haven't tried it." Du Heng put down the wood ears, smiling candidly, not feeling embarrassed at all. "Then I won't be polite. I'll stay to have this cold dish."

Zhang Yue also leaned over curiously and looked at it for a while before saying, "I haven't tried it either. Indeed, the wealth is in the deep mountains. We don't have as many options to eat in the county as there are in the mountains."

"You're lucky."

"Teacher, stay for dinner, I'll send someone to tell the teacher's wife." Chu Heng continued, actually, he hadn't seen this blackish plant before, but based on his trust in his wife, he didn't doubt it at all.

"Alright, I'll stay for dinner and go back with Yan Xu in the evening. I'm not worried about anything happening." Zhang Yue was ultimately pleased that his student had passed the exam, so he didn't refuse further.

Ye Muyu let the three continue talking.

She took Xiang Linger into the kitchen.

Du Heng couldn't help but glance at Xiang Linger more, and indeed even her back was cute and lovely. He couldn't help asking, "Who is that girl?"

"The daughter of Eldest Aunt's family." Chu Heng looked at him meaningfully.

Du Heng immediately understood and quickly explained with a smile, "I just think her eyes are beautiful. There are no girls as pure as her in the county."

"I just appreciate her."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue coughed lightly and reminded him in a slightly serious tone, "Yan Xu, you must not make unfounded comments about women."

"Dean... I was wrong." Du Heng touched his nose awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Although he would casually say such things on weekdays, he wouldn't actually do anything. After all, in recent years, he hadn't even visited the Flower Pavilion, mainly because he wasn't interested. Following Chu Heng, who was very principled, he was also brought along, not interested in the Flower Pavilion.

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Yue nodded gently. "You must work hard in the next three years and strive to pass the exam three years later."

"Dean, I will." Du Heng's eyes were also much more serious. His best friend passing the exam as a Jinshi was a big stimulus for him. In addition, this time he went to the capital and gained a lot of insights. He felt that if he couldn't even pass the Jinshi exam in the future, he might as well give up on life. Besides, he loved reading, so he would naturally work hard for it.

Meanwhile.

Ye Muyu entered the kitchen.

She instructed Hu Shi to boil some water first.

Then she ordered Zhang Pozi and Jiang Pozi to prepare the ingredients needed for the hot pot in the evening.

Seeing that wood ears needed to be soaked for a while, Xiang Linger followed to help wash the vegetables.

Ye Muyu went to find Han Zhuang.

"Madam." Han Zhuang was chopping firewood on the courtyard side when he saw Ye Muyu coming over. He quickly straightened his body and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the coarse cloth towel around his neck.

Ye Muyu gave him a silver coin. "Go to the county and buy me a hot pot, preferably the kind with a split in the middle."

"Madam, is it the kind of hot pot that the gentry in the county eat?" Han Zhuang asked after thinking for a moment, a little curious. "What does it mean to be split in the middle?"

"It means a pot that can hold two soup bases, like a gossip." Ye Muyu explained.

Han Zhuang understood and nodded. "Alright, Madam, I'll go now."

"If you can't come back before tonight, forget about the split pot, just bring back a regular one first."

"Is the silver enough?" Ye Muyu thought for a moment, then added two more taels of silver. "If you can get a split pot, buy two, if not, buy four regular ones."
