Chapter 196: Lucky Dumplings Cause Trouble Plus more
Liu and Xuan Ling'er kept staring at Xuan Miao'er's side, for fear that she would be bullied, and they all worked with peace of mind when they saw that they were fine.
Feng has been following Liu's side to help her work, Zhang's belly is big, and she can't squat to burn the fire or anything, so let her wash cabbage and potatoes or something.
The Wang family also listened to Ma's instructions and asked them to be kind to the people in the West Wing, and they were still counting on the help over there after the New Year. The Wang family also has his own plans, if San Lang can go to school in the town after the year, won't it be easier to test for fame in the future?
So today, in the kitchen, these women are all around the Liu family, Xuan Ling'er, and Xuan Miao'er, and the three of them hardly did much work, and they were all rushed by the Wang family and the Feng family.
The dumplings are not in the kitchen, they are wrapped on the kang in Ma's house, the women make dumplings on the kang tip, and the man sits on the kang head and sits and talks.
No matter what it usually looks like, this New Year is still to be happier, Xuan Miaoer observed Ma's abnormality today, and felt that she had some ideas, otherwise she couldn't stop like this, but she was really not afraid, she split up, and she kept documents in the yamen in the town, just take precautions.
Ma Shi also participated in making dumplings, but Xuan Baozhu didn't touch his hands, just sat on the side and watched.
There are a lot of sayings about the dumplings of the New Year, which are wrapped with copper coins, who eat them will have wealth in the coming year, and eating the sugar cubes on the package is an indication of the sweetness of the coming year, and eating the red dates on the package is an indication of the prosperity of the coming year.
But you can't pack too much, if it's too much, everyone eats it, and it doesn't work, so I wrap two of the same.
However, these six dumplings were put in one place, which daughter-in-law didn't know about this, so there was no need to say it, everyone knew what was going on, and in the end, these dumplings still fell into the bowls of Ma and Old Man Xuan, and then they distributed them.
After wrapping the dumplings and placing them on the curtain, they waited for them to be cooked before the gods were picked up in the middle of the night, but they couldn't be idle during this period. The dishes in the kitchen should be cut, the cold dishes are put on the plate early, and the kang in each room is also burned early.
When it was time (around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night), several daughters-in-law began to cook dumplings. This year, both Wang and Feng rushed to help Liu's work, so Liu's was a lot easier, but Liu's stir-fry was delicious, so Ma's named Liu's stir-frying, so she didn't care about other work.
The third aunt Zhang's belly is too big. It's not convenient to do anything, so let her just set the plate or something, Wang's cooking dumplings, Feng's burning fire, and a few little girls doing it.
Wang's cooking dumplings also said, the six dumplings that Ma specially placed, she put them in the fence, although they were boiled in a pot, but the six were always in the fence, when they came out. Put it directly in the bowl of Ma and Old Man Xuan.
When the time comes, Ma will pretend to give Xuan Baozhu a dumpling, and what Xuan Baozhu eats must be blessed dumplings, and Old Man Xuan will also deliberately give these dumplings to Xuan Wencheng and Xuan Wenbao, this is an old thing every year, not to mention that I know it in my heart.
At this time, the kitchen has a clear division of labor, and the number of people is not too messy, and it is not idle anyway.
I couldn't go out at night, so the children were running around the house, and today they were all wearing new clothes, and the adults didn't care much about them. Saburo Xuan Yasu and Goro Xuan An Xu were a little greedy when they smelled the kitchen, so they thought about going into the kitchen to get some food, and adults didn't talk much about children during the Chinese New Year.
Xuan An is older and has an idea. He didn't go in first, so he asked Xuan Anhao and Xuan Anxu to go in first: "Shiro Goro, you go into the kitchen and hide, I'll look for you later." ”
Xuan Anhao is not so attentive to eating, so he doesn't want to go to the kitchen: "I won't go, there are so many people in the kitchen." It's weirdly crowded, and I have to be kicked out by my mother when I go in. ”
Xuan Anxu actually wanted to go, because he was hungry when he smelled it: "I'll go, you will go to me in a while." With that, he tiptoed into the kitchen.
The dumplings in the kitchen are steamed, Xuan Anxu took advantage of the time when Wang's scooped cold water, and ran directly to the pot to see if the dumplings were good, because I took so many balls in the west wing in the morning, and now I don't want to eat oil so much, but the dumplings haven't been eaten for a long time, and I can't seem to remember the taste of dumplings.
He ran to the pot and saw the fence in the cauldron, a big pot of dumplings, he reached out to get the fence, wanting to get a few dumplings.
Wang scooped water back, saw Xuan Anxu take the fence and put down the water and went over to grab the fence, Xuan Anxu thought that Wang wouldn't let her eat it, so he took the fence and scooped it vigorously in the cauldron, took out a basket of dumplings, and reached out to grab it.
The Wang family was not afraid that Xuan Anxu would eat dumplings, but the six dumplings that were originally in the fence were now mixed in this fence: "You dead child, put it down." Wang was really afraid that something would happen to this dumpling, so his face and tone were fierce.
Xuan Anxu was scared, and as soon as he reached out and ran away with a dumpling still in the pot.
At this time, everyone also paid attention to the movement here, and the Zhang family and the Feng family were frightened enough, and no one dared to step forward to participate in this matter.
Wang hurriedly picked up the fence, but the fence was full of dumplings, and he couldn't tell which were Ma's six special lucky dumplings. She takes out the dumplings, places them on a plate, and carefully examines each one against a candle.
Xuan Miao'er is also sympathetic to her, such a dim candlelight, it is too difficult to see clearly, but people's potential is unlimited, the greater the persecution, the stronger the ability, in such an environment, the Wang family found three dumplings.
The remaining three blessed dumplings were scattered in the pot, seeing that the meal was about to start, the sound of firecrackers in the village had already sounded, and the men of the Xuan family went out with firecrackers, and they were about to eat Chinese New Year's Eve after letting go of the firecrackers.
Wang was sweating anxiously, she knew that Zhang and Feng were people, so she didn't ask them, she looked at Liu: "Sister-in-law, what should I do? There are still three that can't be found." ”
Liu is also anxious for her, there is really no way to do this: "I don't know what to do, otherwise it will be like this, there are no less than three." ”
"Then what's the matter, this mother can toss for half a year, what can I do?" Wang is really like an ant on a hot pot now, stomping his feet incessantly.
Zhang dragged his waist, his face did not hide the expression of watching the play, and Feng lowered his head and burned the fire, looking unaware.
When Wang saw Xuan Miao'er, he suddenly felt that he had found a savior: "Miao'er, you have a lot of ideas, hurry up and think of a way for the fourth aunt." ”
Xuan Miaoer doesn't look down on them, but in this big New Year, one less thing is better than one more: "If there are three less, three more will be included." She didn't want to care about it, but she thought that when she ate dumplings for a while, Ma would have to toss, so she gave Wang an idea.
Wang finally found the life-saving straw and thanked Xuan Miao'er: "Miao'er, you really helped the fourth aunt." She hurriedly scooped a bowl of noodles, and after living a piece of noodles, she wrapped three lucky dumplings and boiled them in the pot. (To be continued.) )
