After Luo Zhaoyun inspected the soldiers outside the city, he returned to his mansion, Ruyi was waiting in the lobby, wearing a white coat, close to the door of the house, looking at the fluttering snowflakes outside, her pretty face was as delicate as a flower, even if she was without makeup, she was extremely exquisite, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyebrows were picturesque.

"Husband, you're back."
"Why are you waiting at the door, aren't you afraid of the wind chill, hurry up and go into the inner room to warm up."
Ruyi smiled and said: "I want to wait for my husband to return, just like ordinary people, this kind of expectation and protection is much more comfortable than being in the house." ”
Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood in his heart that Ruyi had been holding back in the palace for too long, like a canary in captivity, finally flying out of the cage, a little resistant and waiting in the house.
At this time, the maids walked out from both sides, to clean the snowflakes on Luo Zhaoyun's body, and take off his robe and battle armor.
"Don't move, step aside, let me come." Ruyi spoke, telling the two maids not to do anything, and she went to help her husband untie his cloak, took the helmet, and handed it to the maid.
The two maids looked at each other with a little trepidation in their eyes, and thought that they had served inconsiderately, which made the princess picky and disgusted.
In fact, Ruyi is looking for the feeling of being a wife, undressing for her husband, the joy in her heart and the happiness of guarding her return, which is very special.
The newlywed Yan'er couple, any small action is easy to make people fall in love.
Ruyi is bitter, and his heart is even sweeter, so he doesn't put a princess on the shelf in Luofu, and he never loses his temper with his husband, and he likes to be tired of his side.
Chain mail, shawl, basin collar, bracers, etc., one by one for him to take off, Ruyi is full of smiles, not feeling hard at all, feeling that this is like a little wife, serving his man, guarding him at sunset, undressing for him, there is an indescribable feeling of fulfillment in his heart.
The maids next to them were dumbfounded, looking at the princess who was high up and had a noble status, just like ordinary women, serving their men like this, and they were all amazed.
Luo Zhaoyun stood there still, Ren Ruyi took off all the armor for him, then put on a men's dress, combed his long hair briefly, held Ruyi's hand, and smiled: "Thank you, little lady!" ”
"Hehe, this is what a concubine should do, so I feel more fulfilling, not the princess who was locked up in the deep palace before." Ruyi is very calm.
Luo Zhaoyun held the slender jade hand, felt the warmth of going home, and smiled: "On a snowy day, it is suitable for eating hot pot, it is better to call Shangyiyi and Muhe, let's eat together." ”
"Hot pot?" Ruyi was surprised.
"Yes, this is a new product launched by Yanyulou, and I plan to open a chain store, let's taste it first." Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, and when he returned to Jicheng, his ideas became more flexible, and the north would be his base in the future, so now he dares to show some new products and new inventions, and he doesn't have to worry about provoking suspicion and official suppression, etc., in Youzhou, he is the uncrowned king.
Soon, Luo Zhaoyun instructed the cook to prepare mandarin duck pots, bamboo charcoal, stoves, special round tables and other utensils, and also prepare mutton rolls, beef slices, fish balls, etc., seasonings such as leeks, milk tofu, garlic, peppercorns, mustard, etc., some things such as chili peppers have not yet been introduced to Dasui, but can be replaced by other spicy rapeseed and dogwood.
Xiao Yiyi and Ning Muhe heard that they were going to eat hot pot, and they immediately came to their senses, they had eaten with Luo Zhaoyun before, but the ingredients and charcoal utensils were not as many as they are now, so they were looking forward to it even more.
The second daughter entered the door, took off her outer robe, Xiao Yiyi wore a moon-white saro shirt, a small waist and a long skirt with a low waist, and a long green silk hair coiled into a "startling bun", which was extremely beautiful.
Ning Muhe was wearing a crimson cardigan shirt with narrow sleeves, a spring-green tight-waisted hakama, a slender waist, and long legs were staggered, which was also beautiful.
The four of them sat on a wooden bench around the floor-to-ceiling high table, and sat with their feet down, rather than the traditional kneeling sitting of the Central Plains, which was more convenient.
Although it is a cold winter wax moon outside, the cold wind is biting, and the snowflakes are fluttering, but the animal charcoal in the room is burning for a long time, warm as spring, and the hot pot also emits the fragrance of lamb meat, which seduces people's appetite.
At the same time, there are also several kinds of green vegetables, but there are not many types of green vegetables in the Sui Dynasty, such as coriander, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, cabbage, etc., have not yet appeared.
Hollycrop, herb cabbage This is one of the main cuisines from the pre-Qin and Warring States periods to the Wei and Jin dynasties, but the taste and nutrition are not good, during the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, the merchants of the Western Regions brought lettuce vegetable seeds, cultivated in the Central Plains, and it is regarded as one more kind of green vegetables.
The Chinese people eat the most cabbage, it is the original vegetable of the Central Plains, has a long history of cultivation, can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, whether the aristocracy or the people, all take it as the main dish.
Luo Zhaoyun also got a delicious dish, that is, chrysanthemum, it is a kind of vegetable native to our country, chrysanthemum was born in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, when the autumn wind is bleak, all things wither, growing up in the wind and frost, but in the Sui Dynasty, no one has recognized this kind of dish, the first to be seen in the history books, in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty medicine king Sun Simiao in the book "Qianjin Fang" will be chrysanthemum into the vegetable category, described as: "pungent taste, flat nature, non-toxic." Calm the qi, nourish the spleen and stomach, and eliminate phlegm. ”
But now it is not popular, the medicine king Sun Simiao is only a man in his thirties, I don't know which mountain to practice medicine, he has not yet become famous, and he has not yet written a book.
The bottom pot soup stock is mixed with ginger slices, chopped green onions, refined salt, fat, and backbone bones, which tastes very good.
Ruyi grew up in the palace, but he had never eaten this kind of thing, his eyes lit up, smelling the pure aroma of lamb, as well as the spices in the bowl, and his index finger moved.
"The water is boiling, and it's ready to eat." Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and announced that he was eating.
Princess Ruyi put down her reserve at this time, was curious about this fresh dish, picked up the lamb flakes with chopsticks, and then ordered some of the dipping sauce in the bowl, put it in her mouth, and immediately felt tender and delicious, a mixture of various flavors, and there was no other taste.
"To eat hot pot, you have to drink some wine, spicy to feel it." Luo Zhaoyun asked the maid to pour wine, and then he and his wife and two concubines toasted together, the atmosphere was cheerful and happy.
After a few glasses of wine, the cheeks of the three girls are rosy, they eat refreshingly, and they drink to their heart's content, this kind of hot pot that is suitable for both rich and poor, young and old, does have its unique charm.
At this moment, someone outside the door made a statement, mixed with secret words, and mentioned the head of the Qingshuang Sect.
Luo Zhaoyun suddenly got his heart up, pushed the door out, and learned through the warrior that Qingshuang had returned, but his injuries were not light, and he was already unconscious.
