Chapter 127: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

When it was getting dark, according to Kang Shude's instructions, Ning Weimin turned on the lights in the house.

This is also the rule among the elderly.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, because it is necessary to cooperate with the "year", the four-cornered and four-legged evil beast "Xi" is removed.

Every household should be lit up all night without interruption, to symbolize a bright future in the coming year.

At this time, the smell of soot from the extremely burning iron stove in the house was actually a little choking.

The stained glass on the doors and windows shimmered with the sheen of the past.

It's not that you haven't wiped it, it's that you can't wipe it at all.

If you really go back to the history of glass, I am afraid that the age can catch up with the age of Liang Ning Weimin.

But fortunately, there was a kettle sitting on the stove, and the water mist sprayed out effectively dissolved the smell of coal fire and chopping wood, and made it much more comfortable to breathe.

And the "Magpie Dengmei" and "Peacock Open Screen" sent by Mi Xiaoran and Mi Xiaohui in the afternoon were also pasted on the doors and windows.

The red window flowers decorate the old doors and windows much more decently, which is a bit of an old tree blooming.

In addition, I heard that the neighbor Mi family was "tuk tuk" stomping on the dumpling filling, and the sparse sound of firecrackers outside.

The atmosphere of the New Year naturally spreads in the air.

But what is even more exciting is that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is on the table.

It is different from last year's pot of stewed meat and boiled cabbage, a plate of roasted hairtail, a plate of peanuts and a plate of bean paste, even if it is a shabby New Year.

This year's New Year's dishes of the master and apprentice, both in quantity and quality, all go hand in hand.

Take the side dishes on the table.

There are four dishes of "mustard duner", "tempeh tofu", "quince mixed with cabbage", and "fried peanuts".

Especially this quince is a rare fruit.

In the past, it was exclusive to the rich, and it was extremely difficult to eat.

Now it is almost extinct in the capital.

So nowadays, when people make this side dish, they can often only use sugar water hawthorn instead.

But because of their achievements, the No. 2 hospital actually asked them to purchase a large jar in the factory.

This blessed the whole neighborhood, and it can really be said that it is a first-class enjoyment in the capital.

It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, it's really nowhere to look.

The difference in the main course is even more pronounced.

Because there is no stamping of meat filling, the pork is rich.

They can have both rice noodles and braised pork.

In addition, Ning Weimin also spent a lot of money to get a big yellow croaker for Kangshude, who loves seafood, and prepared a bottle of Moutai for the old man.

With such an abundance of materials, it is really lively.

The two of them made a total of "rice noodle meat", "balls", "braised pork ribs", "braised yellow croaker", "stewed chicken", and five hard dishes.

Plus a sweet dish that replaces rice cakes - "Eight Treasure Rice".

Good guy, you can't even put the Eight Immortals table.

I had to temporarily move a small kang table for summer, put it on the bed, and put it together.

There is no doubt that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a harbinger of anticipation for the coming year's fortune, so rich, of course, people look happy.

But at the end of the day, it's nothing.

Because what really says that this seat is outstanding, and no one in the whole capital can match, is the unusual tableware.

Dare to love Ning Weimin, in the middle of the month before the approach, there was really no shortage of pulling things.

First of all, the vendor in the ghost market wanted to celebrate the New Year, and many things took the initiative to drop prices, and he felt that it was a good deal to buy it in a big way.

Secondly, he found that there was a gap in the sales department of the cultural relics store, and he went there to hang out the treasure.

At the end of the year, isn't the person who can't sell things at the door more anxious?

So, what good things this kid has received during this time, I have counted them one by one.

Anyway, just this table, the plates of the Ming Dynasty, and the bowls of the Qing Dynasty are all the official kilns he has been making up these days.

If you add up these things according to the years, it must be about 3,000 years.

The flask used to hold wine is the most inferior item, and it is still in the same year.

Think about it, can such a meal not be contaminated with cultural flavor when eaten in the stomach?

When you drink such wine, can you not look particularly mellow?

Not even to mention eating, just looking at it in his eyes is a kind of enjoyment that makes Ning Weimin's heart feel fulfilled.

But after all, this is his own ingenuity, and Kangshude is a little bit impressed by his creativity.

No, before the banquet began, the old man squeezed his apprentice again.

"You stinky boy, you can really toss around. What a bad idea, it's like a nouveau riche. If you get something and come back, you will burn the bun? If you really hit something, I don't think you feel distressed?"

Ning Weimin sneered and waved his hand again and again.

"What do I feel sorry for, aren't these things made for people to use? I can't buy them back, just like my ancestors, and these things should serve me." ”

"You can't be a slave to things, do you? I have to take care of these things for the rest of my life, and then end up cheapening others." That's when I feel wronged. ”

"Actually, you're the one who shrunks, and you know that you're holding your baby bowl all day long, and then looking at it, isn't it also a bowl. I don't understand, what's wrong with you just using it for a meal? It tastes absolutely different, and you've been the head of the Privy Mansion once. Isn't it interesting to be like the landlord's old wealth, offering it on the top of his head every day?"

Of course, Kanshude didn't like to listen to it, and waved his hand.

"It's okay, red cherries, green plantains, your own things, love as it is, I don't bother to care about you. For the New Year, let's not look for it. ”

Then another pout.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll leave it here anyway. Sooner or later, you'll know what to do with them. Again, only when you see more than just money can you succeed. ”

"For now, I'll advise you to do the same. As long as you don't get too happy and sad, you can think about using pastel as a plate in the future......"

Okay, in the end, this sentence can be regarded as to Ning Weimin's key point.

Dare to be stupid today.

Speaking of which, it is even more embarrassing than the fact that he had to paste the word "Fu" upside down in the morning.

Just now, he used to use a large pastel bowl of butterflies and fruits to make balls.

As a result, Kangshude stopped him, and the old man told him that the color of this pastel had lead and mercury.

The brighter the color, the more poisonous it is.

Using this thing to serve vegetables, that's a long life.

It's no different from having arsenic in your mouth.

So this Ning Weimin was immediately embarrassed, touched the back of his head and laughed for a while.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he hurriedly entered the house like a treasure and took out two things.

One is a newly bought hot water bottle, and the other is a copper hand stove that has not been in hand for a long time, and it has just been rubbed out in the past two days, and it is shiny.

This was a gift he gave to Kangshude in his Chinese New Year's Eve.

(Note: The quince in the capital is not the quince that can be found in the encyclopedia.) The quince recorded in the encyclopedia is also known as hawthorn, fragrant fruit, and pear because of its fragrance. As for the 'quince that the old Beijing people said can be made into candied fruit', it is actually the Altai mountain hawthorn. Because of the golden color, it is also called yellow fruit hawthorn. The pronunciation of "quince tree" actually comes from the transliteration of the Manchu language "sweet and sour", which was first called "Wenpu" or "Wenpu", and was later falsely passed on as quince tree. Many people today don't know that online articles are almost entirely false. What's more, there are those who confuse the quince in the capital with the tiger cart and champagne, which must be known. )
