But it was obvious that he had overslept, for Luo Ge and Qin Mianmian had already heard the commotion from the other side.

Hearing the noise, Qin Mianmian first blushed, then frowned and called out in a sweet voice, "Li Qiao!"

He was still going on! Who let him snore like thunder every night.

Her lower back was already aching from lack of sleep, and he was disturbing her even more. How annoying!

Hearing his wife's voice, Li Qiao's body stiffened, and he quickly shut his mouth, not daring to mutter anymore.

"Snort, hahaha!"

"It's clear, brother, that you are truly being disdained."

Seeing this scene and Li Qiao's pitiful look, Hu Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter, forgetting about the fishy smell on his mouth.

Even Gu Jinchen couldn't help but smile, but when he saw his own wife watching from the side, he fell silent.

This left Luo Ge puzzled.

"Aunt Gu." At this moment, Elder Mr. Xu, Wang Sister-In-Law, and the village chief also came over.

Tie Dan called out to Luo Ge when he saw her.

"Little Auntie," little Yi Chen also ran over.

Technically, Tie Dan and his brother were disciples of Elder Mr. Xu, while Yi Chen was Elder Mr. Xu's grandson. Yi Chen should not have addressed her in this manner.

However, the children were still young and played together all day, so such formalities were temporarily set aside.

The little fellow liked to call Tie Dan and his brother "Big Brother" and "Brother," too.

Elder Mr. Xu allowed it for now, as long as the children were comfortable.

"Ah, Yun Yan, Yi Chen," Luo Ge smiled and waved at the two little ones.

Then, looking towards Elder Mr. Xu and the others, she said, "Elder Mr. Xu, Sister-In-Law, Auntie, Village Chief, you're here! Please have a seat, we've been waiting for you."

As she spoke, Li Qiao brought over the sliced fish he had prepared, and Gu Jinchen also brought out the fish balls, meat balls, and meat slices he had prepared earlier.

Once Hu Jun brought over the washed vegetables, they could start the hot pot.

"We tried out some new dishes in our free time, and we thought the taste was good, so we wanted you all to try them too," Luo Ge explained with a smile, seeing their puzzled looks at the hot pot.

"It smells wonderful," Wang Sister-In-Law said with a smile.

"It tastes pretty good too. Let me help you prepare some dipping sauces. Do you prefer spicy or non-spicy?"

After asking, she turned to Qin Mianmian, "For you, I assume spicy, right?"

Qin Mianmian nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's not as good without spice."

Ever since Li Qiao brought back chili peppers from Gu Jinchen and recommended them, Qin Mianmian had become addicted to spicy food.

The mild flavors from before simply didn't taste as good anymore.

"Got it."

Since there were many children, they decided to combine the two tables into one, with each hot pot on one side and all the ingredients placed in the middle.

"Uncle, Old Master, would you like a drink?" Hu Jun asked.

"Yes."

"Sure."

Hearing this, the others who weren't asked also nodded along with the village chief, for how could they gather without a few drinks?

"Alright then." Gu Jinchen went to fetch two jars of liquor.

Since the men would be drinking, they sat on one side to drink freely, while Luo Ge and the others sat on the other side.

"The water is boiling. Cook whatever you like by dipping it in," said Gu Jinchen as he served them.

"Here, try these fish slices I just cooked. Don't be shy, we're all family here," Luo Ge said, seeing their hesitation. She placed some of the pre-cooked fish slices onto small plates and distributed them.

"Try them all. If you like them, I'll cook more. The fish cooks quickly." Luo Ge cooked some more as she spoke.

"Ah, it's fine, we can do it ourselves. You just take care of yourself," Wang Sister-In-Law said hurriedly, taking the plate from Luo Ge's hands. She couldn't bear to see the pregnant Luo Ge taking care of them.

She had been watching how Luo Ge did it earlier, and it didn't seem too difficult.

"Yes, we can handle it ourselves," Luo Auntie and the others agreed with a smile.

"Alright then."

"Luo Ge, this thing you made is so delicious!" By then, Qin Mianmian was already immersed in the delicious food.

She felt none of the usual fishy smell from cooked fish, and the texture was smooth and tender.

"Yes, it's really tasty. We've never tried cooking fish like this before," Luo Auntie and the others agreed after trying it with the dipping sauce as Luo Ge had instructed.

Gu Jinchen's group was also full of praise.

Indeed, no one could escape the allure of the hot pot.

"I'm glad you enjoy it," Luo Ge said with a smile.

"Mom, we want more!" The children also loved it immensely and wanted seconds.

"Coming right up."

Except for Elder Mr. Xu, everyone else chose the spicy broth, including the children. In no time, everyone was slurping and drooling over the delicious food.

But they just couldn't stop eating.

"The taste is so addictive. It's burning my mouth, but I still want more!" Hu Jun said, fanning his mouth with his hand.

Seeing the plain soup broth he had chosen, Elder Mr. Xu was also tempted. He glanced at the dipping sauce without chili peppers, hesitating.

"Old Master, why don't you try it too? You can put less chili in the dipping sauce," Gu Jinchen suggested with a smile, noticing his temptation.

"Ahem, alright."

As soon as he changed the dipping sauce and tasted the ingredients from the spicy broth, his eyes squinted. 𝐟𝗿ee𝘄𝗲𝗯𝐧o𝘃el.𝐜o𝚖

Mmm, so flavorful!
