But the Jing family and the others insisted on guarding the gate and waiting for them to come back.

However, as soon as Gao Feng and Gu Caining entered the door, Zhang Yuanli broke through the barrier formed by the Jing family and was the first to meet him. "How is it? Brother and sister-in-law, how are you eating today's New Year's Eve dinner?"

"You want to ask how the response of our snake soup is, right?" Gao Feng said.

Zhang Yuanli was almost crazy. He grabbed Gao Feng's hand: "My good brother, don't keep it aside. Tell me quickly, what's going on! I didn't get hit by a chair this night. I was worried and I was almost crazy!"

"I'm a testimony, it's right for the second uncle to do this." Brother Wan quickly raised his hand.

Chen girl also nodded, and her eyes looked at Zhang Yuanli with a little pity.

Gao Feng also knew that Zhang Yuanli was anxious to know the answer, so he did not keep it in a silence: "Not long after the snake soup was served, something suddenly happened. Because of this, the emperor was furious. King Ning originally wanted to praise the snake soup in public and had to swallow it. When the matter was resolved, the best time had passed, and other dishes had been served, and the corresponding local officials began to praise it again, so King Ning didn't say anything more."

Zhang Yuanli's face collapsed.

"Is that true? I get it."

"But..." Gu Caining immediately added, "Just once the snake soup was delivered to the emperor, and after the emperor tasted it, he praised it first."

"Yeah?!"

Now, Zhang Yuanli's shoulder, which had just collapsed, immediately stood tall again!

His decayed eyes were illuminated in an instant.

He couldn't help but take the initiative to grab Gu Caining's hands. "Sister-in-law, are you serious? You didn't lie to me?"

"Even if I want to make up lies, I dare not make up random things!" Gu Caining smiled, "So, although King Ning's arrangements were not useful, in fact, only the emperor's words were enough. No matter how many praises were, they were just icing on the cake, and it didn't matter whether they were to do it or not."

"She is right, the emperor did praise the snake soup in the Zuixianlou." Gao Feng said, "But what interested the emperor even more was the small stove. How did you think of this?"

"It's thanks to your guidance from my elder brother! Didn't my sister-in-law always encourage the daughters-in-law of Shuangliu Village to study more snake meat? The villagers saw that their daughters-in-law became more and more capable, and there were definitely a few who were not convinced. They also began to work hard on other things, and then a few were really successful! When the people in other villages saw that our Zuixianlou was giving money so generously, the people in Shuangliu Village made a lot of money with us, they also became interested and began to study hard. In the end, a boy from Shuang'an Village next door made this thing."

"Of course, the initial version he sent to Zuixianlou was much simpler. Our chef tried to improve it for a long time before he made this final version. This time he brought the things to the capital. In fact, I was just planning to give it to His Highness Ning as a gift to him so that he could hide in bed and eat a hot pot in winter. However, after seeing this, His Highness Ning had a sudden idea and suggested that I make another batch immediately, which would be a pair with the snake soup. I did that too."

Zhang Yuanli smiled and said with a smile.

Speaking of excitement, he couldn't help laughing. "Your Highness Ning is really worthy of being the best relationship with the emperor. He knows the emperor's preferences clearly. If he hadn't helped to make this suggestion this time, our snake soup would not have been praised by the emperor!"

"This small stove did play a big role tonight. Otherwise, no matter how well our snake soup is made, it will definitely be extremely fishy when it gets cold, and it will not leave much good impression on people." Gao Feng nodded.

Therefore, the great success of Snake Soup is closely related to the efforts of all aspects.

Gu Caining raised his eyebrows. "Why didn't you disclose any information about this stove to us in advance?"

"That's because I plan to give you a surprise!" A big stone in my heart fell. Zhang Yuanli was in a good mood now and was flirting with a smile when he spoke. "How is it? Brother and sister-in-law, are you very happy and excited to eat the hot snake soup in the palace?"

Gu Caining shook his head speechlessly. "What a big man, I still play this with us."

"No matter how old I am, I am your younger brother! Then isn't it okay for me to slap in front of you? No matter how unhappy you are, you can only tolerate me, the younger brother. Who said I am a young man?" Zhang Yuanli said with a smile, and quickly pulled them up, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense here. Hurry up, we will eat something casually in the afternoon to make our stomachs, and wait for you to come back and have the reunion dinner together!"

In fact, at the palace dinner, they only ate a few more bites of snake soup, and they only tasted the other cold and hard foods, so their stomachs are still empty now.

Therefore, Gu Caining and Gao Feng nodded. The three of them, the Jing family mother and daughter, Chen girl Xiao girl and Wan Ge'er, and then the family officially started to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

By the way, they also opened a table next to Miss Liu's family. At the feet of Chenmei's sisters, they also prepared a large pot of fresh sheep bones for Maomao and the little wolf's extra meals.

Everyone was talking and laughing together, but this time they were really enjoying themselves.

After dinner, Zhang Yuanli quickly took out the fireworks he had prepared early to set off.

The two sisters Chen Meituo were already very brave, but now Jing Juan and Jing Li have been with them for a long time, and the two sisters have become much more courageous. The four girls lit firecrackers at the door of their house. Seeing the firecrackers rising up to the sky driven by gunpowder and bursting with gorgeous fireworks, they clapped their hands happily.

The Jing family and his daughter were already past the age of noisy, so they just stood aside and watched the children running around noisy, but their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

"The fireworks are so beautiful. Why didn't I find fireworks so beautiful before?" Jing whispered.

Jing Yan looked at her two daughters' little faces full of smiles, and she was also full of joy. "That's because we were not qualified to watch fireworks in the past. But now, we have regained our freedom, and have reunited with our elder brother and sister-in-law again, and... that person died. When he was relaxed, he naturally felt good about everything he saw."

Jing's eyes turned red in an instant, and she nodded quickly. "You are right. Firecrackers should be taken away by the old age, and the bad luck in our bodies should be taken away by these firecrackers. By tomorrow, we will do what we want to do in a dignified manner and steadily!"

"Yes!" The Jing Yan sisters nodded quickly, and everyone smiled.

The children played for a long time, and until they set off all the firecrackers, they were still taken back to rest.

Gu Caining and Gao Feng were having a hard time today, and they were tired. The two of them quickly took a shower, then fell to bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, after they got up and exercised early, the two of them took Chen Yatou Xiao Yatou and Brother Wan to pay homage to Wang Xiao Zi's spiritual throne.

Now that they are in the capital, they cannot go to visit Wang Xiaozi's grave, so they can only use this method to express their longing to the old man.

Gao Feng lit three incense sticks for Wang Xiaozi, and Gu Caining and his children burned a thick stack of paper for him. Looking at the cigarette curling, the burned yellow paper was blown and fluttered by the cold wind passing through the crack of the door, flying all over the room, Gu Caining's mood suddenly became extremely calm.

"Grandpa Zeng is here."

Suddenly, this sentence came out of Brother Wan'er's mouth.

Gu Caining and Gao Feng were both stunned, and they quickly turned around. "Where is he?"

However, after saying this, Brother Wan suddenly closed his eyes and stood there motionless.

After a while, he opened his eyes again: "Grandpa Zeng is gone."

Gu Caining's heart sank. "Is he here to find you?"

"Yes, come and see you by the way. Grandpa Zeng asked me to tell you that you did a good job last year and he was very happy. But this year, you must keep calm and hold on any changes. He will always be by your side to protect you."

Gu Caining and Gao Feng both felt warm again.

"We know. But...what are you? What did Grandpa Zeng say to you?"

Brother Wan immediately showed his signature smile again.

"This is the secret between me and Grandpa Zeng, I can't tell you!"

Well……

Gu Caining's mouth twitched. This little guy is getting less and less arrogant now!

Seeing that her mother's face became gloomy, Brother Wan quickly pointed out again. "Dad, mother, Grandpa Zeng has seen it, we should go out. A customer is coming soon!"
