Li Shao specifically went to buy a pot specially used for hot pots in this era, which was very similar to the copper pot he had seen in ancient materials.

The soup base was made with pork bones, and mutton, tofu, sweet potatoes, white radish, cabbage, vermicelli... sesame paste was added, and chili oil was fried, and the table was filled with it.

Zhao Ye had only heard the villagers talk about hot pot, but this was his first time eating it. Li Shao demonstrated it to him and said, "Put anything you like in it and cook it. When it's cooked, dip it in sesame paste and try it to see if it suits your taste. There's salt and chili oil here so you can add it in."

The mutton dipped in sauce was tender and the soup was rich. Zhao Ye couldn't help but say, "Husband, it's so delicious. The sauce is so fragrant and the meat is so delicious."

"Hahaha, as long as you like it, I didn't make the soup base spicy, so you can drink some soup to warm your stomach before eating."

Seeing Li Shao preparing sauce, serving soup, and shabu-shabu meat for him, and being so busy that he didn't even have time to eat, Zhao Ye quickly said, "Husband, don't do it for me. Just eat quickly. You've been busying me all day."

"Okay, okay, my husband really cares about me." Li Shao said with a smile and started eating.

After eating and washing up, the two of them lay on the bed after their daily exercise.

Zhao Ye remembered that Li Shao wanted to hire another person, so he said, "My husband, I don't have much to do every day. I can go to the winery to help you make wine. You don't need to hire another person."

"In fact, the rice wine and sweet potato wine are enough for me and Brother Zhou. However, as the sales channels open up in the future, Boss Liu will definitely ask for more and more, so we will definitely need to add one more person."

"And I can't stand staying in the winery every day without seeing you."

Although Zhao Ye felt sweet in his heart, he still whispered back, "How can I not see you every day? The winery is right next to me. I go to see you several times a day. You also run home from time to time. I can also see you at lunch."

Hearing the rebuttal from the person in his arms, Li Shao was so happy that his little quail became bolder and bolder. He stretched out his hands and pinched Zhao Ye's cheeks, squeezing his mouth into a chicken's.

"Oh my, Brother Ye is so bold. I have no words to say after all these words. Your little mouth is so powerful. Let me kiss it." As she said that, she lowered her head and kissed his little chicken mouth.

"Well...well...you are so bad, bullying me again." She struggled and squirmed in Li Shao's arms, like a fish jumping onto the shore.

"Hahahaha, I won't bother you anymore. But I will definitely continue to hire this person. It's just that this person is hard to find. Money can attract people. If I hire someone who is not content, it will be troublesome in the future."

"I'm just telling you first. There's no rush to hire this person right away."

Zhao Ye, still panting, leaned against Li Shao's chest and said, "My husband, I'll listen to you. I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep. We have to make wine tomorrow. Boss Liu has ordered so much sweet potato wine."

"Go to sleep if you're sleepy. Your husband will hold you in his arms, little money-grubber. Hahaha." After saying that, she lowered her head and kissed the forehead of the person in her arms, then fell asleep holding her baby.

Ever since Zhou Zheng started working at the Li family winery, Baoger's family has been living better and better. They can wear new clothes and eat meat every few days.

After exchanging the eggs I saved for money that day, I was stopped by a few middle-aged ladies who were chatting in a group on my way home.

"Zhou family! Bao Ge'er! Come here quickly."

Bao Ge'er asked in surprise: "Call me?" Normally he didn't like to hang out with these aunts, so what happened today?

Out of politeness, I walked over to see what they wanted to say.

"Brother Bao, I see your life is getting better and better recently. How much money does the Li family give your husband every month?"

"Yes, tell us how much it is. We won't tell anyone."

Bao Ge'er thought to himself that these aunts were very smart and knew that their husband went to work at the Li family, but they still said, "What wages? Where did you hear that from?"

Hearing what he said, an old lady curled her lips and said, "You are not a good boy. The Li family brought your husband and you to build the wall and buy food. They stayed at the Li family every day. Last time I went to see them, I asked the Li family and they hired your Zhou Zheng to help make wine."

"Yes, we always see donkey carts from the town carrying wine out of the old house of the Li family. We have seen it all. We can't hide it from us."

"Wine is very valuable. How much does the Li family sell wine to the wine shops in town? The money they earn must be piled up like a mountain."

"Just tell me the truth. The salary offered by the Li family is too high. Do you still want to work for me? My family..."

Hearing their increasingly outrageous chatter, Baoger quickly made an excuse that he had something to do at home and ran away without giving them a chance to speak.

"Ah! Ah! Why are you leaving?"

"Tsk, what's the point? Tell me what's going on. If it's you, I think the wages are definitely high. Bao'er's family was so poor before, but now they have new clothes."

"Of course, I live close to his house, and they eat meat every now and then. The smell drifts to my house and makes my eldest son cry."

"I never thought that Li Shao, an outsider, would have such a skill. The money would come to him like water."

"Just look at Brother Ye. I saw him a few days ago, but I didn't recognize him. He is not as skinny as before. He has some flesh and white skin. His clothes are made of good material, and he has all the jewelry on his head and body."

"It's all fate. Who could have thought that Brother Ye would be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life?"

"But there's still no sign of pregnancy in Ye Ge'er's belly. The Li family is so good at making money, so they definitely want a son. Let's wait and see. If they can't give birth..."

"Yes, all men want sons. If Brother Ye can't give birth, he might have to marry a few more children. Then Brother Ye's life will be difficult."

"Hey! Look, isn't that the Zhao family's?"

"Really? Zhao's family, why are you going? Your Ye brother married a capable man and hired people to work. People from the wine shop in town come to his house to buy wine. It's as easy to make money as cutting grass from the fields."

"Yes, you are Ye Ge'er's mother. He didn't show filial piety to you and buy you two gold bracelets."

As if no one could hear the sarcastic tone, Zhao's mother said with a dark face, "You have nothing to do but gossip here. Stop asking about my family's affairs." After saying that, she turned around and left.

"Oh, this Mrs. Zhao, who are you turning your face to here. As a mother, you don't care about your own brother. No wonder Brother Ye doesn't think about you now that he has become successful." The angry aunt yelled in the direction of Zhao's mother.

The people around her tried to persuade her, "Alright, alright, stop messing with her. Her son Xiuwen failed the exam again. She used to boast every day that she would definitely pass it this time. Not to mention becoming a scholar, she would even be able to pass the imperial examination. Now she's been slapped in the face. She must be in a bad mood."

"That's right. Her son Xiuwen has been studying in town these years. I've never seen him do farm work. And he didn't pass the exam this time."

"I heard that Mrs. Zhao is trying to find a wife for him. He didn't like this one before, and now he's nineteen, who is suitable? Besides, he can't read well, and he can't do farm work, so who would like him?"

"If you ask me, it's her own fault. If she had been nicer to Brother Ye before, wouldn't he be thinking about his mother's family now that he's rich?"

"That's right, that's the guy."
