Chapter 170 Warm Pot in Winter

Due to the New Year, most of the shops in Zizhou City were closed. After Xia Ting and his daughter finished the work, they did not leave much. They took the carriage and returned to Baima Temple with the items they bought.

Not wanting to worry about the mansion, Mr. Xia sent a smooth trip to Ding Mansion to report a letter.

When I rushed back to White Horse Temple, it was already noon.

Before the father and daughter had lunch, they got up early and drank some simple porridge.

For fear that Xia Ting would be hungry, Baoqing quickly went to cook porridge after he came back.

Xia Ting can also taste some snacks that are easy to melt, but the snacks are time-consuming and labor-intensive and not as fast as the porridge.

So, Baoqing cooked the porridge quickly, and everyone drank a bowl of it, feeling the warmth of her body, Aunt Chi took out the cooked ginger soup again.

When I went down the mountain, others could bear such cold air, but Xia Ting couldn't do it.

So, Xia Ting had just drunk the porridge and needed to drink another bowl of ginger soup.

Fortunately, drinking medicine has become a habit over the years. Ginger soup is too simple for Xia Ting, which is just a little bit more delicious than water.

Aunt Chi probably wasn't worried about Master Xia Si, so she prepared a portion for him. Master Xia Si was so kind, but he didn't refuse and turned his head down and drank it.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone was preparing for the pot at night. The vegetables needed to be cleaned, the mushrooms needed to be soaked before cleaning, and some dried vegetables also needed to be processed.

Baoqing and the others decided to eat pots in private, of course, as well as vegetarian pots. One reason is that this is Baima Temple, where people eat meat in a quiet place in Buddhism, and they always feel that it is not very good.

Another and the most important reason is that Master Xia Si didn’t buy meat and could not eat it even if he wanted to.

Even so, everyone's enthusiasm is still high.

Xia Ting had not finished reading the medical books he had obtained before, and had just turned a few pages, now he was leaning on the couch with a thick quilt covering his body, watching Baoqing and the others busy.

Baoqing and the others prepared in a room with smooth wind and water. There was no small kitchen in the temple, and the large kitchen was a little far from where they lived. The monks had already eaten their second meal today. The kitchen is now cold in the pot and stove, and it was a bit cold to wash vegetables there.

There is at least charcoal fire in their house.

They did not dare to do this in their masters' rooms, for fear that they would get the master's room, especially Xia Ting's body, would not be able to withstand such dampness and coldness, so they finally chose a room with smooth sailing.

Afraid that Xia Ting was bored, Aunt Chi brought her over, put on a thick quilt and let her sit on the couch.

When Xia Ting and the others came to the temple, they brought their own quilts, and the amount was quite large. Mr. Xia didn't want to feel wronged his daughter, and he was thinking about the best thing for Xia Ting. In such a situation where he stayed outside, he must bring his own quilts.

Baoqing and the others were having a lot of fun. Xia Ting sat there, looking at them from time to time with his eyebrows and eyes smiling, and soon withdrew his gaze and then read his own medical books.

As the evening approached, Prince Shou came with Changfu and Changlu.

When they came over, the pot at night had already risen.

The dining place is in Xia Siye’s room. The accommodation conditions in the temple are simple, and it is impossible to prepare a separate dining room for them.

Prince Shou has it, because the other party has a valuable identity and has lived there for a longer time.

Xia Siye and his friends just walked around and prepared a room that was too luxurious would be of no use.

So, in the end, we had a meal in Xia Siye's room.

Prince Shou came over and Mr. Xia went out to greet him in person.

Because it was already dark, after all, it was dark early in winter, so candles were already lit in the room.

Xia Ting followed Master Xia obediently. Prince Shou discovered the other party's existence as soon as he came in.

The little girl stood there with her eyebrows and eyes hanging down. The dim candlelight in the room set off the other person's skin tone, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a light soft light, full of mystery.

Today, Xia Ting wore a moon-white embroidered cross-neck wide-sleeved short dress, paired with a long dress of velvet color, and a few jade hairpins on his head. His simple and clean dress made the little girl look holy and beautiful.

When Prince Shou saw people, he suddenly felt that even though there were thousands of people walking in front of him, he could still see Xia Ting's existence at first sight.

Fearing that his eyes were too abrupt, Prince Shou, who reacted, calmly withdrew his gaze, raised his lips slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm disturbing Master."

"What the prince said? If the prince hadn't acted righteously a few days ago, I wouldn't know what the girl is doing now. Today, the prince is willing to give the honor, and I feel extremely honored." As soon as Master Xia spoke, he was old, polite and polite, so that people couldn't find any mistakes. The problem is that they all said humble and nice words.

After hearing this, Prince Shou felt that the other party was too polite, but who made him feel ill-behaved? How guilty is now when the father and daughter are now?

So, be polite.

However, my mood inevitably became happy, and even the curve of the rising corners of my lips became a little higher.

Prince Shou hadn't noticed it yet, so the two sides were polite and then Master Xia Si invited Prince Shou to take his seat.

Prince Shou has a noble status, and even if he comes to visit Master Xia, he will be the main seat. Prince Shou refused a few times, but Master Xia insisted, so he became good at it.

Mr. Xia Si sat beside Prince Shou, while Mr. Xia Ting sat down with his father's seat.

The three of them sat on a table, forming a large half circle, with a space in the middle, so that the servants could prepare dishes for them.

Especially when eating a pot, two servants do need to serve the dishes on the side and put the dishes in the pot in time.

After all, the masters want to eat a bite of fresh ones instead of overcooking or undercooking, so they need to look at the servant's eyesight.

Changfu's eyesight is naturally fine, and Baoqing's eyebrows and eyes were drooping and unwilling to let him go.

"This is the new mushroom picked from the village. It is said that the taste is good. The prince can try it." Seeing Baoqing pour the fresh mushrooms into the pot, Master Xia also explained with a smile.

Although I don’t say anything, I still feel a little embarrassed if I don’t say a word on the table. What’s the point of eating it all over?

When Mr. Xia spoke, Prince Shou naturally had to give face, after all, he was ill-behaved now.

After feeling a little weak, Prince Shou looked at Xia Ting calmly.

The little girl's eating look is very elegant, and her cheeks move lightly are also very cute.

The aunt next to her gently dip the dish on the sauce and then put it on the plate of Xiating. Xiating just needs to pick it up and eat it.

In contrast, Prince Shou's way of eating is much bolder.
