The servants without parents looked on with envy, thinking that having parents is the best thing in the world, and children with parents are like treasures.

Just as those servants were feeling envious and sighing in their hearts, several other maids also brought them ginger soup.

"You must be freezing, drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up."

"Yeah, look at you guys, you're so cold that even your eyelashes are frosted!"

The servants were so moved that their eyes slightly reddened. They hurriedly took the ginger soup and drank it in small sips. The warm ginger soup flowed down their throats and instantly dispelled the coldness in their bodies.

Liu Cui quickly opened the sack and began to sort the meat and vegetables inside. Seeing the frost on the frozen meat and the dirt on the vegetables, she knew that they had not been washed yet.

Those people were so frozen that Liu Cui was too embarrassed to ask them why they didn't wash.

She skillfully sorted the beef and beef balls and put them in order. The maids also came over to clean the meat, cabbage and white radish, and asked Liu Cui to start making the hot pot.

The fire was burning fiercely, and the beef bone soup in the pot gradually began to boil, emitting a rich aroma.

Liu Cui put beef slices, beef balls, cabbage and white radish into the pot one by one. After a while, the two large pots became lively, with all kinds of ingredients rolling in the soup, making people salivate.

Everyone sat around the table, looking eagerly at the food in the pot, hoping that the delicious hot pot would be cooked quickly. After Liu Daxi and others drank the ginger soup, their bodies gradually warmed up.

"It was snowing so heavily and it was so cold that I thought I could never come back." Liu Daxi sighed.

"This is really not an exaggeration. The cold wind seemed to penetrate into our bones through our cotton-padded jackets. It was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, we worked together, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat this hot pot tonight." Song Da agreed.

After taking a sip of ginger tea, Liu Shan said with a worried look on his face, "I wonder if tomorrow will be colder than tonight? It's really freezing cold."

Liu Qiang, however, is very open-minded. Since the zombies appeared, he feels that every day he can live and eat and drink well is a gain.

So he comforted Liu Shan, "Brother, don't think too much. Just live one day at a time. Eat and drink as you please. God can't make a decision just because you worry to death."

"That's right. Instead of worrying about whether it will be colder tomorrow, you might as well focus on the hot pot later."

Song Mingtao then looked at Liu Cui and warned, "Xiao Cui, remember to save a portion for later and have Liu Ye take it to Danan. He is alone on the fifth floor. Even though there is a stove to warm him up, it will probably be very cold."

Liu Cui nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Song, I'll remember it."

The ingredients in the pot tumbled more and more vigorously, and the aroma became more and more intense, filling the entire blacksmith room, as if it had created a warm little world in this cold snowy night.

After a while, the hot pot was finally cooked. Liu Cui first took out the portion reserved for Liu Danan and put it aside, asking Liu Ye to deliver it quickly.

Liu Ye carried the steaming hot pot and walked out the door carefully.

Song Da, who had been out for a while, knew that it was difficult to walk outside, so he helped open the door and then warned: "You have to go slowly. The road outside is not easy to walk. Don't fall."

Liu Ye looked at Song Da gratefully, nodded and said, "I'll be careful." Then he carefully stepped out of the threshold and stepped into the snow.

The snow outside was still strong, and the snowflakes fell one after another, soon covering the footprints that Liu Ye had just stepped on. Liu Ye held the hot pot tightly and walked towards the fifth floor step by step with difficulty.

Liu Danan on the fifth floor was looking at the staircase eagerly for the 10th time when he saw Liu Ye appear with a hot pot.

A pleasant smile appeared on his face, and he stood up to greet him. "Thank you, brother. It's so cold, but you're still taking the trouble to come here."

"Why are you being polite? I'm a servant and this is what I should do. It's very cold here by yourself. Eat something to warm yourself up." Liu Ye said and turned to go downstairs. It was too cold outside and he had to go back to eat the hot pot.

When Liu Ye passed by the room where Su Yue was, he smelled a strong aroma of meat, which made him drool.

Liu Ye wiped the corner of her mouth hastily and went downstairs quickly. She couldn't let the water drip, otherwise it might freeze into ice soon and she would be laughed at.

Inside the room, the master and his two servants were enjoying the hot pot.

Su Yue picked up the serving chopsticks and scooped some food, frowning and saying, "Why is there no meat again? Honeysuckle, have you finished all the meat? Hurry up and add the meat!"

Honeysuckle pouted slightly and said unconvincedly: "Girl, it's obvious that you ate more of this meat, but you always wrongly accuse me."

"There's more. I'll serve it right away. I guarantee you'll all have full bellies!" said Nanny Yang as she put some thinly sliced ​​beef into the pot.

The master and his servants continued to enjoy the delicious hot pot, with laughter echoing in the house. Meanwhile, everyone in the ironwork room downstairs also ate to their heart's content.

Halfway through the meal, Wu Yong's wife suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed Qian beside her in panic.

"Mom, my pants are wet, what should I do?"

When Qian heard this, she was immediately panicked, but quickly calmed down. She first looked at her daughter-in-law's cotton trousers and saw that there was indeed a large wet spot on the trousers.

Qian quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, this may be the beginning of the birth."

As she spoke, she quickly stood up and said loudly to everyone, "Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your mood for eating hot pot. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth. Please be considerate and leave the iron room. I want to deliver my daughter-in-law."

When everyone heard that Wu Yong's wife was about to give birth, they immediately stopped what they were doing. After a brief moment of surprise, everyone stood up, with expressions of concern and panic on their faces.

"Hurry, let's get out of here, don't delay the birth of the baby." Liu Shan said. Everyone moved quickly, carefully moved the table away, and then left the blacksmith room in an orderly manner.

Although they were a little reluctant to leave the hot pot that had not been finished, at this special moment, everyone understood that having a child was a big deal and should not be disturbed in any way.

Seeing that the girls had not gone out, Qian urged them, "Girls, go out as well. The elder sisters, please stay and help. Boil water if necessary, and help put my bedding by the stove."

Hey, Yong'er, what are you still daydreaming about? Hurry up and go out and wait!"

Wu Yong quickly responded: "Okay, okay, I'll go out right away."

He walked out of the blacksmith room in a hurry, and was awakened by the cold wind. His wife was about to give birth!

As Wu Yong turned around, he heard Li Hui say that she was going to ask the girl for more water, and then the door was slammed shut.

"Water, yes! I have to ask the girl for water!" Doctor Wu, who was always calm, was a little nervous at this time. After all, his daughter-in-law was pregnant with the eldest grandson of their Wu family.
