Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 239: A Hot Pot-Induced Grievance

"What did you make today? It smells so good!" Yunhua walked into the kitchen, sniffed and asked.

"Is the clay pot chicken delicious? It will be ready soon." Xu Han said as he opened the lid of the pot and began to prepare the pancakes.

Take out the dough soaked in water, put it in the palm of your hand and flatten it, then stick it to the edge of the pot.

Half of the pancake is placed on the pot, and the other half is placed on the chicken. This way, the pancake not only absorbs the soup, but the part next to the edge of the pot is also crispy and delicious.

After the stickers were posted, Xu Han called Lu Chuan for help, "Lu Chuan, set up the stove outside. We're going to have clay pot chicken today."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Lu Chuan said and started to act.

After they finished preparing the pot outside, the clay pot chicken here was also ready. Lu Chuan took the clay pot off the table and brought it to the yard, placing it on the round table used for the hot pot. Then everyone gathered around the table and started eating.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of cooking! It's really delicious! Especially the pancake, it's absolutely amazing." Zhao Yunyun said while eating.

"If it tastes good, eat more. We've prepared some vegetables! After we finish eating the chicken, we can add some water to blanch the vegetables!"

"There are noodles too! It's delicious if you add noodles in it." The Taoist priest continued.

"That's great. We only caught one pheasant today. Let's go again this afternoon to see if we can catch a few more. We can eat them tomorrow." Yunhua slurped the food because it was burned, but he refused to spit it out, and continued to talk while eating.

"Duck is delicious too. It just depends on whether you can catch it." Grandpa Zhao tempted Yunhua with delicious food.

"What's so difficult about this? I don't believe there isn't even a duck in this mountain." Yunhua said unconvinced.

"I believe in you, you can definitely catch it." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile when he saw that his plan had succeeded.

It was obviously Grandpa Zhao who wanted to eat stewed duck. Although there was some in Xu Han's space, he couldn't take it out and eat it for no reason. He could only stimulate Yunhua, the foodie, and let him catch it himself.

Considering Yi Yunhua's skills, catching a duck should not be a difficult task. It should just be a matter of time.

The few people who knew about it all lowered their heads to hide their smiles. Isn't it good to have duck to eat? They definitely can't talk too much!

Everyone took their chopsticks and soon the whole pot of clay pot chicken was finished.

After Lu Chuan added soup into the pot, everyone started a new round of hot pot dishes. During the period, they also put a pot of pancakes on the pot. Fortunately, Xu Hanhe had more noodles, otherwise it would not be enough.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat in the yard to bask in the sun. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. In this cold winter day, it was so comfortable to eat a clay pot chicken and bask in the sun.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Lu Chuan and Taoist Yunhua wandered around the mountain, but Yunhua didn't even see the shadow of a duck.

The nearby rivers had dried up and there were no ducks in the valley, so Yunhua naturally didn't catch any ducks.

Grandpa Zhao, Zhao Yunyun and Xu Han were at home. When they had time, Grandpa Zhao and his grandson would discuss and study the pulse case together. When Xu Han had nothing to do, he would just wander around in the yard.

Xu Han's due date had passed, but she showed no signs of giving birth.

Lu Chuan didn't go out these two days. After dinner every day, he would help Xu Han stroll in the yard.

"I'm really tired! I don't want to walk anymore." Xu Han said unhappily.

"Wife, please sit down and rest for a while. I'll go get you a glass of water." After saying that, Lu Chuan went into the house.

Xu Han felt particularly tired in recent days. She started to pant after walking a few steps. Naturally, she had no time to prepare delicious food for everyone. During this period, all the meals were prepared by Grandpa Zhao and the others.

When Lu Chuan came out with the water, Xu Han said to him, "Lu Chuan, I want to eat hot pot, the kind that's really spicy."

"Do you want to eat now? Can you eat such a heavy-tasting food now? Otherwise, I'll ask Grandpa Zhao." Lu Chuan said softly.

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Xu Han instantly felt extremely aggrieved and tears started to flow out.

When Lu Chuan saw Xu Han crying, he panicked and said, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Don't cry!"

Hearing this, Xu Han cried even more sadly, and finally burst into tears.

This scene happened to be seen by the Taoist priest who just came back from outside. Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest kicked Lu Chuan directly. Lu Chuan was caught off guard and looked dazed.

"How did you provoke the girl again? Ah! Did you bully him?"

"I didn't." Lu Chuan defended.

The Taoist priest looked unconvinced, "Don't cry, girl. Tell me if this boy bullied you. I will help you beat him up."

It was rare for the Taoist priest to speak so softly, but now Xu Han couldn't stop crying and was sobbing hard.

Hearing the noise, Grandpa Zhao and Zhao Yunyun also ran out from the backyard, thinking that Xu Han had a stomachache and was about to give birth!

"What's wrong?" asked Grandpa Zhao.

"Do you have a stomachache?" Zhao Yunyun also asked with concern, and then began to take Xu Han's pulse.

"It's okay! Why are you crying for no reason?"

Grandpa Zhao took her pulse again in disbelief. After confirming that what his granddaughter said was correct, he was also curious. What happened? It was the first time he saw Xu Han crying, and she cried so sadly. Everyone was very surprised.

Suddenly, several people looked at Lu Chuan, as if they suspected that Lu Chuan was bullying Xu Han.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan really wanted to cry but had no tears. "I really didn't bully my wife."

Everyone saw that Lu Chuan didn't seem to be lying, and they also knew how precious Lu Chuan was to Xu Han. Now everyone was even more curious about the reason why Xu Han was crying.

Lu Chuan explained what happened before Xu Han cried, but everyone looked incredulous.

At this time, Xu Han was still crying and showed no sign of stopping.

At this time, Lu Chuan was really more wronged than Dou E! But he couldn't force his wife, so he could only coax her softly.

After Xu Han calmed down for a while, she sobbed and said, "Lu~Lu~Chuan, you won't let~me~eat~hotpot~hotpot. Wuuuu~"

All right! Everyone was very upset when they found out the reason, but the grandfather and grandson, who were both doctors, naturally knew the reason.

"It's normal for pregnant women to have unstable emotions," Zhao Yunyun explained to everyone.

"Isn't it just hotpot? If you want to eat it, Grandpa Zhao will make it for you. It's okay! Don't cry. You're sweating in this cold day." Grandpa Zhao comforted.

"Yes, girl, we'll make whatever you want to eat, and eat as much as you want. Don't pay attention to that boy, the Taoist priest won't beat him up."
