Chapter 459: New Year's Greetings
The power went off five times in one morning......
------Off topic------
Now it seems that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really very defensive...... Hey, it seems that I haven't heard of this kind of rule in history, is this the rule set by the founding ancestor?
It's a shame that she thought that when she saw the Siyi Pavilion, she would be like the embassy area, and her eyes were full of foreigners wandering around!
"Ah, that's not ...... with detention" Qiu Chen was surprised, paused abruptly halfway, swallowed, and said, "There are still such rules!" ā
Qin Zheng looked at his disappointed wife, shook his head slightly, and said, "When the people of the foreign domains come here, they all have special personnel in charge, and they are not allowed to enter and leave at will without permission. ā
"Why isn't there even a person?" Qiu Chen was puzzled.
Qiu Chen curiously stretched his neck on horseback and looked at the gate of the Siyi Pavilion, but saw that it was very quiet over there, except for the two teams of soldiers at the gate, there was not even a single figure. In other words, she also hopes to meet a Westerner and find a way to find out some news!
The gate of the Siyi Pavilion is gradually approaching, and the blue-black Guangliang Gate is just neat, and it can't even be called majestic, and even the Yin Yamen of the capital is not as good. If it weren't for Qin Zheng's reminder, it would be no different from a relatively neat inn...... Oh, there are no signboards, no warm welcome boys, just two teams of soldiers, armed with spears, solemnly lined up on both sides of the gate.
Qiu Chen blinked and turned his head. Yes, at this time, the Ming Dynasty is a big country in the Celestial Empire, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have no equal neighbors in their hearts.
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a little unsure of why his wife's worries came from, but he still patiently explained, and said in a rather proud tone: "But it's okay to live in these foreign barbarians!" ā
Seeing that he deviated from the direction of going out of the city and headed towards the Siyi Pavilion, Qiu Chen was faintly excited, but asked with a slight doubt: "Over there...... Can you just go? ā
Qin Zheng looked at his wife's eyes full of interest, secretly smiled, took the reins of the horse, and led Qiu Chen to the street in front of the Siyi Pavilion.
Well, it doesn't seem to be exact, the residents of Diaoyutai have not lived for a long time, and they will leave after a few days...... This is more like a combination of Diaoyutai and the embassy district, where there are both long-term 'ambassadors' and 'consuls', as well as visiting missions.
Qiu Chen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes showed excitement, this is the modern Diaoyutai!
Bypassing a group of houses, passing through an alley, there is a relatively neat house building. Qin Zheng whispered to Qiu Chen: "Over there is the Siyi Pavilion, there are always more than a dozen envoys from countries and ministries living in normal times, and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the pilgrimage groups of all countries should have arrived." In the largest year, it is said that there are more than 100 countries and tribes. ā
The group picked up the relatively spacious, Qiu Chen looked at the market, and the people also felt very interesting, Qin Zheng cooperated with her to slow down and slowly walked out of the city.
Fortunately, the murderous aura of these guards was only subconsciously, out of the mansion gate, on the street, pedestrians and vehicles came and went, which made everyone relax a lot, and the murderous aura was also gone. Afu Aman gradually got used to it, and rode very comfortably on his horse, and could look around as they passed through the not very busy streets, where there were not many pedestrians, but everyone was hurrying and hurrying on the road. There are also neighborhood friends who meet on the street, politely greeting each other, all of which are related to the topic of the New Year. In the courtyards of the people, some of them were cleaning their houses, so they put curtains and bedding on the walls of the courtyard, and some of them were placed on both sides of the gate......
The two children looked strange, but they were also excited, subconsciously tensed their little faces, the two small waists straightened, grabbed the reins, controlled the horses, and followed closely behind their father. Because of too strict and forceful, the flesh on the little face jumped slightly, and the little hand that grabbed the horse's reins subconsciously used force, making the horse a little uncomfortable.
The guards were all dressed in black and black cloaks, and their movements were driving the horses in unison, all of them with solemn expressions and holding their breath. It was not the first time Qiu Chen had traveled with Qin Zheng on horseback, when she was in the military camp outside the Saiwai, she had followed him out to test the 'artillery battle', and she had already experienced Qin Zheng's strict military discipline, so she was not too surprised, and naturally drove her horse to follow Qin Zheng's side. It was the first time for Afu Aman to ride a horse with his father, and these guards around him were obviously familiar with them, and they would practice together in the school field every morning and evening, among them, Qin Li and Qin Yong had also been their masters for more than a year, and the relationship was even closer...... But now, the momentum of these people is completely different from usual, and a cold and cold aura naturally exudes from them, making people feel a little breathless.
All the way out of the second gate, there were already guards to prepare the horses, Qin Li and Qin Yong stepped forward to take care of Afu Aman and got on the horse. Qin Zheng held Brother Yun'er's buttocks with one hand, and helped Qiu Chen to get on the horse with the other, then he turned around and took the reins of the horse in Qin Yi's hand, raised his feet to recognize the stirrups, raised his legs and jumped lightly on the horse very skillfully, turned around and looked at his wife and children beside him, his eyes narrowed slightly, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he said loudly: "Let's go!" ā
The family cleaned up and looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile happily.
A few children naturally have girls and mothers-in-law tidying up, Afu Aman passed the leather robe wrapped in a cloak, and Brother Yun was also dressed in the same way, but there was an extra strap around his waist, Qin Zheng took it and directly tied Brother Yun in his arms, father and son faced each other, Brother Yun'er's little face was just leaning on Qin Zheng's chest, and his back was wrapped in a thick leather cloak, and he was not afraid of being blown by the wind.
His eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were pulled, Qin Zheng didn't say anything in the end, just nodded approvingly, got up, took the cloak that the girls brought up, personally put it on Qiu Chen, and pulled the hood up and tidied it up, and looked up and down to be satisfied, and then took his own big coat.
Qin Zheng sat on a chair drinking a cup of tea, and when he heard the sound, he looked up, and saw that his wife was wearing a navy blue dark silk narrow-sleeved high-necked robe, with a cyan inlaid pearl gold silk pinched waist seal tied around her waist, a circle of fox fur exposed at the edge, and a circle of wind hair on the edge of the small stand-up collar, lined with a fair face.
I changed into a riding leather robe as quickly as possible, broke the bun and pulled it back to the top of my head to coil it into a bun, and saved it with a boxwood character story hairpin. He also changed into light cyan lambskin boots under his feet, and took the lambskin gloves handed over by Fengqing, Qiu Chen walked out refreshed.
Qiu Chen smiled and patted the little girl, and entered the house in response.
As soon as he saw Qiu Chen coming back, Aman jumped up and pulled Qiu Chen's hand and said, "Mother, hurry up, let's change our clothes and let's go, we won't be able to arrive any later!" ā
When Qiu Chen returned to the house, Qin Zheng and the three children were all tidy, and they also changed into riding clothes for horseback riding, and even Brother Yun wore a well-fitting leather robe. Afu Aman waited eagerly, and they all arrived at the door of the house.
Arrange things properly, it took an hour, look at the table clock, in the middle of the hour, a little after ten o'clock, Qiu Chen got up and turned back to Mu'en Courtyard, Chengying and the little girls have already packed the boxes of things to be used for going out, and are directing the rough mother-in-law to carry it to the second gate to load the car.
Chen and Ping'an were a little bitter when they heard this, but they could only nod and agree. Don't look at the master these days, he has received a few holy decrees in a row, Jin Feng or something, but the master's errand is still stopped, and it is estimated that he is not comfortable in his heart, so it is good to go out for a walk.
Being able to go out for a walk, Qiu Chen seemed to be extra energetic when he dealt with things. After dealing with the day's affairs, he was stunned and asked Ping An and Chen to come over, and explained the things of the next three days clearly.
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, subconsciously looked at Brother Yun in his arms, and saw that the little thing didn't know anything, grinning happily, so he turned his eyes and nodded connivingly.
Before she could finish her words, the two children said crisply, and they had already run away from the yard. Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, turned to look at Qin Zheng and Brother Yun in his arms, and said with a smile: "You two also hurry up and clean up...... I also have to go to Matsufuin to settle down...... Well, I'm afraid it's too late to take a car, so let's ride a horse! ā
Afu Aman jumped off the kang happily, Aman put on his shoes and ran out, Afu grabbed his sister, respectfully saluted his father, and then turned around and walked out. Qiu Chen hurriedly instructed again: "If you want to ride a horse, remember to bring riding clothes and gloves and knee pads and hats......"
Qiu Chen turned around, looked at the four men who were still laughing, raised his hand and patted Ah Fu's head, and smiled: "Do you want to follow?" If you want to follow, go and pack your things, and bring your own change of clothes, books, and toys! ā
The masters go out together, there are many things to use, and it is a temporary idea, which must be hurried, otherwise, the day's journey will be too tense! The Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan is not close, and it takes almost a whole day to travel by carriage!
Chengying hurriedly smiled, respectfully bent his knees, turned around and went out to order someone to pack his things.
Being laughed at by the adults and children, Qiu Chen was slightly embarrassed, but he was not really annoyed, glared at Qin Zheng, turned around and instructed Chengying, who covered his mouth and chuckled, to say: "Let people clean up, let's go to Zhuangzi to live for two days, and when we come back a year ago, the house will be cleaned up." ā
Qin Zheng smiled, and Qiu Chen realized what the problem was. The area of Xiaotangshan is not small, but it has the fewest households. Because there is almost no arable land, in addition to managing the stewardship of Zhuangzi, there are more than a dozen families living in it, and they are all leading errands on Zhuangzi, taking care of the mountains and forests, cleaning and maintaining Zhuangzi, all have monthly money to get, how can there be no New Year. This choice of destination fully exposes the clumsiness of the excuse he just made......
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng finally couldn't help laughing, and the three children also gathered in front of him to listen to their father's words, watching their father laugh, and also giggling with him.
There are hot springs, greenhouses, and large mountains and forests in the village, and you can run horses and hunt if you want to...... There's nothing more comfortable.
Qiu Chen's face instantly bloomed with a smile on his face, and he nodded again and again: "Well, well, then go to Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan!" ā
However, it is still built yƬ: "More than a dozen Zhuangzi, I am afraid that it will be too late to run over one by one, so it is good to pick one or two places!" ā
In fact, these things are handed over to the head of the village, or it is completely okay to ask a steward to run a trip, Qin Zheng couldn't hear that his wife was making an excuse to go out for a walk, and the smile in his eyes deepened, but he was indulgent to his wife's careful thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed.
Thinking about going out for a walk, it's not a day or two, since there is such a good excuse as tidying up the house, where is Qiu Chen willing to miss it, and hurriedly smiled: "Why don't we go to Zhuangzi for a walk...... I prepared some things for the old people in the Zhuangzi, and I just happened to send them over. Let's also look at the situation in Zhuangzi, if there is no New Year's Day. ā
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Where do you want to go?" ā
Chengying agreed, Qiu Chen turned around and entered the house, told Qin Zheng about cleaning up the house, and then said with a smile: "Since we have to clean up the house, it won't be good for a day, let's move a place to live for a few days?" ā
Qiu Chen said: "Then remember to remind Yufeng to take it out later, and close the house in the house to cover it, so as not to fall dust!" ā
Chengying thought for a moment, then nodded in response: "Keep it, in the warehouse!" ā
Watching the Chen family retreat, Qiu Chen didn't think about this, she turned around, called someone to summon Yufeng and Hanguang, and turned to Chengying, who was on duty today, and said, "The big coarse cloth list we used when we got the house last year is still there, right?" ā
Cleaning the house seems to be a simple task, but it is not easy to clean the whole house up and down, inside and out, and it is not easy to clean it meticulously. Not to mention anything else, the things of going up the beams and changing the roof are not something that ordinary people can do, and they are all done by people who know this craft. Approaching the Chinese New Year, those craftsmen who have good work are the busiest days of the year, and if they are not set in advance, they will not be ranked at all. Not to mention, the construction of the house has to be sacrificed to the house god in advance, and it will be completed in all directions. The two masters don't value these, but she can't help but value them, this is a major matter related to the safety of the house and the smooth of the master.
Chen bent his knees in response, turned around and hurried away.
Yufeng is in charge of the inner warehouse, Hanguang is in charge of the items in her house, and they are all serious and careful, so it is enough to keep these two people.
Blinking his eyes at the adults and children on the kang in the inner house, Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay." Just let Yufeng and Hanguang stay! ā
Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, searching for last year's old cases in his mind...... Yes, she gave birth on the sixth day of the lunar month last year, and almost the entire lunar month was confined. Because of this, the house was cleaned and replaced in advance, and there was no more trouble for the New Year...... It seems that the old practice was to start cleaning from the main courtyard first.
Chen continued to smile and said, "Then, please move the master and young master, and I will bring someone over later." There should also be two people left in the lady's room, look at some, don't bump into it! ā
During the Chinese New Year, they have to clean up and change the curtains in the house, which is also a common practice, Qiu Chen nodded without hesitation.
Chen bent his knees with a smile on his face and said, "Madam, seeing that the tents and curtains everywhere are ready, before changing the curtains, we must clean and paste everywhere, and we must get them done before the young age...... I'm here to discuss with my wife, can I start now?" ā
Qiu Chen was putting on the long gown of seeing people, standing in front of the dressing mirror to check his appearance, and when he saw Chen who walked in, he immediately smiled and said, "Why did Mama Chen come over?" But what's the urgency? ā
On this day, after the family finished eating, Qiu Chen was about to go to the director of Songfeng Academy, and the Chen family arrived.
As the New Year approaches, the flavor of the New Year outside the home is getting more and more sufficient, so that even the family who almost ignores the world can not escape.
The family planted fields every day, enjoyed the flowers, pondered some delicious and fun, and then, the husband and wife teased and teased the younger son, and watched the two older children read and write and practice kung fu...... Don't live too comfortably and comfortably, no one can see that Qin Zheng, who has just made great contributions to the dynasty and was ordered to think at home on trumped-up charges, has any grievances and dissatisfaction.
These have become the reasons why she can easily control the housework of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, but it is not accidental. Qiu Chen has always adhered to the management principle of 'knowing people and being good at work', maybe she is not rich in political cells, but she has not lived in vain for so many years, she has worked hard for so many years, and she can still come up with good results in the end, and it is not as simple as accident, good luck, and hard enough...... Under the combination of various reasons, it is very logical that she has this rare leisurely life now.
Compared with most of the wax moons that keep housewives busy, Qiu Chen's days as a housewife are obviously a little too leisurely. The Qin family has many branches and a large population, but Qiu Chen does not live in the Liang State Mansion, and he hardly communicates with non-festivals and funerals; The Jingbei Hou Mansion is a family of five, and Qin Zheng is a big shopkeeper, and he has never been involved in housework, so Qiu Chen is much easier and more convenient to deal with. There are festivals everywhere, and there are old cases last year, Qiu Chen only needs to add or subtract from the old rules, make a plan, and then hand it over to Ren Ping'an and the Chen family to deal with.
Seeing this, Qiu Chen could only sigh at the wisdom of the working people, and remembered a sentence: The master is in the people! Sure enough!
So, the two continued to take the child to the back garden, took care of the melons and vegetables in the greenhouse, and enjoyed the various flowers that were well taken care of by the gardener when they were tired. Outside, it is a cold day, icy and snowy, and the camellias, orchids, and narcissus in the greenhouse are all growing well and are about to bloom. There are even several treasured peonies, so that the gardener cultivated the buds, it seems that when the New Year comes, it is in full bloom.
However, these thoughts Qiu Chen is also turning in his heart, and the two of them are now on the cusp of the storm, but they don't dare to do that!
Go to Zhuangzi, hunt, ride a horse, how much free! Which one is not better than being held in Beijing, and you have to remind yourself that you are a hundred times stronger than being gentle and virtuous!
Since it's not that she can't go out, then why does she squat in the house every day. Tongzhou Zhuangzi, the Zhuangzi of Yanyi Town, which is not as comfortable as squatting in the house!
It turns out that this is a matter of self-realization.
"Oh......" Qiu Chen suddenly said.
Qin Zheng raised his eyes and looked at her, knowing the meaning of his wife's words, he shook his head and said, "I thought about it when I went home, and I didn't say that I was not allowed to go out." It's just that the usual example is that if you think about it, it's better not to go out to show remorse. ā
She suddenly remembered something, and leaned in front of Qin Zheng and whispered: "Brother Yun caught Zhou, but King Yong is here......"
Qiu Chen was sealed, Brother Yun was sealed, and Laba porridge was not missing the share of Jingbei Houfu, but he didn't do anything to Qin Zheng, so Qin Zheng had to continue to think about it at home.
Qiu Chen is not interested in the things given by the emperor, it does not represent the opinions of people in this era, although in a family like the Hou Mansion in Jingbei, the vision of the girls and sons cannot be too low, and it is not the first time to eat the things given by the emperor, but no one will eat too much. The two girls got the order, thanked them happily, held the porridge bowl, and connected to the bowl and spoon used by Qiu Chen and retreated.
The family was blessed, Qiu Chen waved his hand and instructed Yuegui and Hanguang, who were waiting next to him: "Take it down while it's hot, call the people in our house, and eat it separately, all of them will be blessed!" ā
Sending laba porridge is a blessing, so the nature given by the palace is also a rare blessing, and the family naturally has to touch this blessing.
Greeting the three children with a smile, one of them picked a little and fed it to their mouths. There was still a little left in the bowl, and Qiu Chen directly picked it and fed it to Qin Zheng's mouth.
After tasting a mouthful of the imperial laba porridge, Qiu Chen gave a judgment. It's not really good, but because the ingredients are sufficient, the taste won't be too bad!
After the rice was cooked, the good gelatinity of the japonica rice was completely wasted, and the Q sense was completely lost, and it was almost a mess. The other ingredients, like rice, were rotten. Too much sugar is put in, and the sweetness is a little greasy, which masks the natural aroma of beans and rice......
picked a little and put it in his mouth, Qiu Chen tasted it carefully.
took it into the kitchen and let Xiao Xi heat it up, Qiu Chen picked two spoons with a spoon and put them in a small bowl...... Well, the porridge given by the palace is not to mention the taste, the ingredients are very sufficient, all of them are the best japonica rice, red beans, mung beans, flower beans, sesame peanuts, pine nuts, and ...... The materials are very complete, and there are two round walnut carved small lions in the middle of the bowl, which skillfully uses the shape of walnut kernels, which is very realistic and interesting.
Looking at the small bowl of porridge in Qin Zheng's hand today, although it seemed almost out of temperature, she was still curious about how it tasted......
This is not the first time Qiu Chen has received a reward from the palace, and she has seen the porridge once last year, but she has just given birth at that time, so she didn't taste it, so she directly shared the food with the girls.
Near the middle of the day, the palace gave Laba porridge out. Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen took the children to kneel down.
After breakfast, Qiu Chen went to Songfeng Courtyard to deal with family affairs for a while, because she started early, the accounts of Zhuangzi Shop were diligent, and she did not accumulate too many affairs.
Before breakfast was finished, there were people who came to the door one after another. There is no need for Qiu Chen to come forward, there is Ping'an and Chen to worry about socializing.
Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, raised his hand and slapped Aman, and greeted with a smile: "Okay, don't pester your father, hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" ā
Qin Zheng hugged Brother Yun with one hand and Aman with the other, and said with a slight smile: "It hurts, why doesn't it hurt, you are my father's only daughter!" ā
Ah Man rubbed over from the side, hugged Qin Zheng's arm, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, you and your mother only love your brother and brother, don't you hurt me anymore?" ā
Ah Fu's eyes lit up again, straightened up, and responded respectfully: "Yes, my father's words have been written down!" ā
Ah Fu's little face was red, but there was joy in his eyes, he looked at Qiu Chen, and subconsciously turned his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng was also looking at him, and when he saw him coming, he nodded softly, "Your mother is right, you have to write it down!" ā
Ah Fu's precocious sensibility made Qiu Chen feel even more distressed, took out a handkerchief to wipe a fine sweat from the corner of his forehead, nodded with a smile: "It's not that you don't want to play with your brother, it's that you have to be careful." My younger brother is too young and doesn't know the severity, you have to take care of him, but also take care of yourself, which one of you and Brother Yun is injured, your mother and father will be distressed! ā
He looks thin because of his long stature, but in fact, since he was four years old, he has been practicing morning and evening, and his body is stronger and stronger than ordinary children. The two brothers of the Tang family are both older than him, but their strength is not as good as his.
"Mother, don't worry...... I like to play with my younger brother ......," Afu reassured.
While sorting out Ah Fu's clothes, Qiu Chen instructed: "Brother Yun is getting heavier and heavier, don't let his temperament go in the future, you can't play such a game anymore!" ā
Qiu Chen was still a little uneasy, and touched it carefully again, seeing that Ah Fu really didn't show a trace of pain, so he gave up.
Blushing slightly, Ah Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, it's really fine." ā
Ah Fu is almost nine years old, and he already knows how to be shy when his clothes are lifted in front of his parents, younger brothers and sisters and a room of girls.
Qiu Chen also rushed over, no matter what Ah Fu said, as soon as he reached out and picked up Ah Fu's clothes, he checked it, and saw a slight reddening mark on Ah Fu's stomach, she rubbed it with her fingers tentatively, and asked, "Does it hurt inside?" If it hurts, you can't hide this! ā
Ah Fu was wrinkled at the top, after the little thing was taken away, his body was light, and when he heard Qin Zheng's concerned inquiry, he subconsciously rubbed his stomach, turned his face to look at Qin Zheng and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, don't worry, daddy!" ā
A pair of big hands snatched Brother Yun'er up, clamped it with one arm, and immediately checked Afu's situation with the other hand: "Fu'er, how is it?" ā
Qiu Chen snatched it up, but fell behind Qin Zheng.
Brother Yun didn't fall at all, and thought that he usually played with his brother, hehehe smiled happily, regardless of supporting Ah Fu's shoulders and trying to get up, his legs were bent, and his knees were just on Ah Fu's stomach......
"Hmm......" Ah Fu called out in a low voice.
Seeing that the little thing was about to pounce on the kang, a puppy gnawed on the mud, but Ah Fu, who was a horse, felt his younger brother's movements, rolled on his side, and just lay down on his back, becoming Brother Yun'er's meat cushion.
Qiu Chen shouted, and several children immediately raised their happy smiling faces when they heard the sound. Brother Yun didn't see Qiu Chen in the morning, but now he saw that his mother was very excited, straightened up, and opened a pair of little fat hands, and was about to pounce on Qiu Chen. This little thing forgot that he was not on a flat kang, and the lower half of his body was still lying on his brother. Aman, who was on a support mission, heard Qiu Chen's shout, and was also distracted, and did not see the movements of the little thing......
"Wash your hands and eat!"
Yun Ge'er was like an octopus, lying firmly on Ah Fu's back, and Ah Fu was taking him to play horseback riding. Aman followed alongside him, stretching out his two little hands to protect Brother Yun and prevent him from slipping down. Compared with the liveliness of the children, Qin Zheng was the most relaxed, sitting on the edge of the kang and drinking tea with a cup...... It's just that if you look closely, you can see that his eyes have been paying attention to the children on the kang, obviously protecting the children from falling!
Qiu Chen watched as someone brought the porridge out, turned it back, and the porridge in the small kitchen was also boiled, so she asked the girls and mothers-in-law to serve the porridge, and there were other dishes that were put on the table early. She walked into the house with the girls with breakfast, and what she saw was the scene of joy and happiness of the four of them.
Afu Aman has been on annual leave since Laba, and he is not in a hurry to go to school, and after taking a shower and changing his clothes after practicing in the morning, he came to play with Brother Yun, laughing constantly. Qin Zheng watched from the side, with a slight smile in his eyes.
The porridge in the small kitchen was handed over to Yue Gui to watch, and Qiu Chen went to the big kitchen again, watching the girls and mothers-in-law divide the boiled porridge into bowls with lids, and then pack food boxes and distribute them to the friends of the family. This custom of giving porridge is called 'sharing blessings', and giving porridge out is to share one's own blessings with others. Of course, on this day, I will also receive many 'blessings' from relatives and friends, and the blessings will be shared together, so that modern people may be a little troublesome and a little redundant, but Qiu Chen has been here for a few years, and after gradually integrating in, he feels that there are many more human touches in this way.
At the end of the hour, the fire began to boil, about half an hour, and before the middle of the hour, the porridge was boiled to just the right amount.
In this era, when boiling porridge, I like to boil the rice and beans in the porridge into a mess, and I almost don't have to chew when drinking the porridge, which is soft and glutinous; Qiu Chen doesn't like this kind of porridge, she likes the soft and glutinous taste with a little Q, the material must not be boiled to the point that there is no soul, the grains must be distinct, so that the layers of texture and taste can be rich!
Qiu Chen also boiled a pot of porridge in the small kitchen, and the ingredients she used were similar to those in the big kitchen, but the amount was smaller, and the cooking method was a little different from that in the big kitchen.
The same material, according to the characteristics of the texture in batches added to several large pots, the porridge gradually thickened and soft glutinous, mixed with a rich sweet taste, from the large kitchen diffuse, almost covered most of the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
A few days in advance, Qiu Chen took the girls and mothers-in-law at home to work together to select various materials for making laba porridge. What japonica rice, indica rice, blood glutinous rice, what soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and all kinds of dried fruit preserves, prepared enough materials, in the big kitchen, Laba began to boil Laba porridge on the fire.
Yun Ge'er is the birthday of the sixth day of the lunar month, and the next day is the first more important day in the lunar month, the Laba Festival.
Things exceeded Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen's expectations, Brother Yun'er was not what their husband and wife wanted to see in the limelight, but it happened, neither of them cared too much, and after sending off the guests, they returned to a peaceful and peaceful life.
