Chapter 173: Sweeping the House
Twenty-four, sweeping the house, twenty-five, making tofu, twenty-six, steaming steamed buns, twenty-seven, slaughtering chicken, twenty-eight, sticking to the quack, twenty-nine, going to drink, staying up for a night on thirty nights, twisting and twisting on the first day of the new year, this is a nursery rhyme that everyone is familiar with, although it is different in various places, but the general meaning is almost the same!
After the New Year, it is the real Spring Festival, and every household is starting to get busy! On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, all the people of the Li family went out and began to sweep the house!
"Brother and sister, let's sweep our parents' yard first, and then clean our respective yards!" At this time, Li Anfu also came to help!
"Okay!" Li hurriedly agreed, rolled up his sleeves and said just do it!
Fortunately, the Li family's house was newly built this year, and there was not a lot of dust, but everyone still covered the bed and table, and then took a big broom to clean the roof and walls, and then began to wipe the table, sweep the floor, and by the way, remove the sheets and wash them!
I saw that Li Hui had a gray headscarf wrapped around her head, and Li Xiu was about the same, the two looked at each other and smiled, both of them were amused by each other and their own image of Tubula! But if you don't wear the old clothes, it will be a pity that the new clothes will be all dusty!
"I'm going to help too! I'm going to sweep too! "I really know how to do it, I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it, Li Yurong and Li Yuhua are two with short legs, holding a broom and snoring, sweeping can be energetic!
"Oops, you two put it down! You won't! Do it when you grow up! Li Hui persuaded them and wanted to snatch the tools from their hands. The two villains who are not as big as a broom, what are they doing, they are completely helping! For a time the yard was dusty! I can't open my eyes!
"I will. I will!! The voice was extremely tactful, Li Yuhua hummed and chirped and didn't let go, and the angry Li Hui smiled! I really love to join in the fun!
"Xiaohua, let's go out and play! Go and play with your little ones! Li Hui persuaded in a good voice that if the two of them were here, it was estimated that everyone's workload would be doubled. When you're done cleaning, they'll get dirty in a while, and then they'll have to do it all over again!
"Good. I'll give you that delicious food, can you go eat with Niu Niu! Li Huidu was very surprised by her patience with children, in her previous life, she didn't like children very much, so she was afraid of making noise.
I don't know if it's because of my own home. There is also the strong family affection of the Li family. Li Hui likes Li Yuhua and Li Yurong very much, and likes to lead them to play when they have nothing to do, and now the adults in the family are very relieved to hand over the two of them to Li Hui!
"Okay!" Li Yuhua reluctantly let go, pulled Li Hui to the kitchen to load some food, and then jumped up and down with Li Yurong to go out to play.
Li Hui and Li Xiu joined the army of house sweepers!
"I'm so tired! The house is too big! Hu Shi stood up straight and rubbed his sore waist, complaining and said, It's really tiring, the rooms haven't been cleaned yet!
"Sister-in-law. Would you like to be tired at this time or the same as before, the house is small, damp and cold! Li Anxi cleaned up in the main courtyard together. Hearing Hu Shi's words, he said with a smile!
"Of course I'm tired now!" Hu Shi paused and said, and then laughed himself!
Also, I have lived in a big house, if I still let go back to the past, it is estimated that no one can stand it, not to mention the cold, it is raining, it is raining heavily, it is raining lightly, the raindrops are small outside, and the raindrops are big inside, and it is uncomfortable to think about it!
"Haha, that's it, sister-in-law, I'm willing to be so tired!" When Li heard their conversation, he also joined in the fun, now this is a good life! That's how happy you are!
In the Royal Palace:
"What is this?" Dongfang Luo looked at the small plates on the table, there were things he had never seen before, one of them was a little better, looking red, and the other plate was looking black, not knowing what to do!
"Back to the emperor, this is sent by the prince yesterday, saying that you can taste it today!" Gonggong Liu hurriedly stepped forward to explain that yesterday the emperor was only concerned about major matters, and he did not report it, and directly asked people to put away the things that had been in the East Night for three years.
To be honest, when I saw these picks, I also felt that it was not suitable for the emperor to eat, you must know that the emperor's golden body, I don't know what this black black is, what if I eat it? However, this was explained by the cold-faced prince, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only tell the emperor the truth!
"Then try it!" As soon as he heard that Dongfang Ye sent it, he didn't refuse, his younger brother has a lot of taste, Dongfang Luo knows it, since he sent it, it is estimated that it will not be bad!
Father-in-law Liu was helping to distribute vegetables on the side, and he first sandwiched a chopstick to sell the better ones, which were actually Li Hui's homemade sour and hot cabbage!
The method is very simple, first wash the cabbage, drain the water, then smear it with chili oil layer by layer, sprinkle with salt, seal it, wait for it to slowly ferment by itself, and when the time is about the same, it is the sour and hot cabbage that you see now!
Li Hui loves to eat very much! It's red and bright, and you have an appetite when you look at it! She didn't expect this small dish to be liked by everyone, so she sent some to Situ Rui and Dongfang Ye, but she didn't expect it to be on the emperor's table!
"Yes, yes, yes!" With the rice, Dongfang Luo tasted it, and there was a spicy, sour, and sweet taste between the taste buds, which was indescribably sour and refreshing mixed together, and it was much better than those greasy dishes! Dongfang Luo couldn't help but praise!
No wonder I like it at night, I don't know where I got it, I look very different from the imperial chef in the palace, it's just a small dish from a farmhouse, but it has a different flavor!
"Your Majesty, try this again!" Seeing Dongfang Luolian eat a few bites, he was full of praise, and Father-in-law Liu hurriedly sent another side dish!
This is actually pickled radish strips, but with soy sauce, it looks black and black, and it doesn't look good, but this kind of radish strips are modern classic pickled side dishes, crisp and refreshing!
"Eun, this one is delicious!" Accustomed to eating your big fish and meat, the sudden porridge and side dishes made Dongfang Luo have a great appetite, although the black is not good-looking, but crispy, chew it, and a free fragrance flows between the teeth!
"Give me another bowl of rice!" Unprecedentedly, Dongfang Luo, like Dongfang Ye, has eaten a lot more, although according to the convention, the emperor will not eat more than three bites of the same dish when he eats, for fear that someone can see the emperor's preferences and poison them or something!
But today I couldn't help it, with small pickles and peeled peanuts, Dongfang Luo ate a lot, more than three bites! Later, I was still in love!
"Grandpa Liu, send some of these to the queen! Let her and the prince taste it too! In the end, Dongfang Ye didn't forget to give Sun Qingxue some and share it together! (To be continued.) )
