Chapter 139: New Year's Dinner (2)

Li Ziyu divided the people into two tables.

The table outside has Lin Tianshu, Lin Xing, Bu Jiu, Bu Shi, Xiaoshan and Xiaowen. The kang table in the room has Li Ziyu, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu, Xiao Lan, Li Luo and Xiao Ou.

Before eating, Li Ziyu took out the firecrackers she bought and hung them up. He handed it to the hill and said, "Go!" I put it at the door, and all the bad luck in our house ran away. The coming year will be smooth and safe! ”

Xiaoshan happily took the firecracker and was about to leave, but he didn't expect the firecracker in his hand to be snatched away. I just wanted to get angry, but at first glance, it was Lin Tianshu. It wilted immediately.

Lin Tianshu carried a firecracker in his hand, waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!" Let the guns go! With that, he took the lead and walked out. A few small hula-la-la-la followed, and their mouths also shouted, "Let's go, let's go with the cannon." ”

Step 9 and Step 10 were afraid that firecrackers would hurt a few children, so they had no choice but to follow.

Xiao Ou also followed hesitantly, she was actually very curious in her heart. It's the first time I've set off firecrackers at home when I've grown so big. It turned out that when I was with my mother, I secretly hid in my yard and looked at the firecrackers outside with envy. I fantasized that one day I would be able to set off firecrackers, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Although this family is not her own home, she has already regarded herself as a member of this family.

Only Li Ziyu and Li Luo were left in the room, and the two smiled relatively tolerantly. Afraid that the food would be cold, the two covered the food on the table with pots and bowls.

After a while, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers outside, mixed with the cheers of children. As the children's laughter approaches. The people who set off the firecrackers are back.

Li Ziyu beckoned to eat, and when she took away the pots and bowls covering the bowls, everyone was stunned by the dishes.

Ten dishes filled the table tightly. These ten dishes with all colors and aromas hooked everyone's gluttony. I don't know whose stomach rang in response to the occasion, which made everyone look at me and I look at you, and finally laughed.

Li Ziyu instructed Xiaoshan and Xiaowen to accompany the guests, and he beckoned the people at the table on the kang to go to the kang to eat.

Everyone ate this meal to their heart's content, and their mouths were full of oil, but they didn't feel tired of panicking. It's satisfying and enjoyable, and it's not greasy. It's really fragrant and endless!

Especially the few people who were drinking at the table outside. It's really full of wine and food, hearty. Everyone inevitably drank alcohol, mainly because no one could take Lin Tianshu, and it was not okay not to drink. So I drank a little. Including Koyama Xiaowen.

Li Ziyu did not restrict Xiaoshan and Xiaowen from drinking. After all, it's a boy, although it's a little smaller, but it's nothing to drink less. It is inevitable to enter the official career in the future to drink and socialize, and many things are solved at the wine table. So. She doesn't restrict her younger brothers from drinking.

Among them, the most satisfying dishes are braised pork, venison ball soup, braised roe deer meat, fried lamb with green onions, and stir-fried fresh mushrooms.

Among them, stir-fried fresh mushrooms occupy the first place. This dish was sold out early. It is really soft and delicate, fresh and salty. The fresh fragrance is strong, smooth and palatable. It's really delicious in the world!

After the meal, because everyone had drunk some wine, Li Ziyu asked them to take a rest in the East House. Xiaoshan then led Lin Tianshu and the others to the East House.

Lin Tianshu didn't refuse, he did drink a little too much, and he drank a large part of a bottle of liquor. The main reason is that this drunk is very energetic, and if you don't rest for a while, you won't be able to go back at all later.

Xiaoshan and Xiaowen didn't sleep. When Lin Tianshu entered the East House with Lin Xing's support, the two of them quietly came to the West House. Lying on the kang with his younger siblings, he fell asleep not long after.

Step 9 and step 10 because they don't drink much. So they went to the locust tree in front of the door. Originally, they couldn't drink, but they couldn't stand Lin Tianshu from playing a scoundrel, so they had to drink less.

When Li Ziyu, Li Luo and Xiao Ou cleaned up the table, they found that they had only drunk one bottle of wine.

Li Ziyu picked up the wine bottle and looked at it, it was actually drunk Penglai.

This drunken Penglai wine is said to be made of dryland sorghum as raw material and clear and sweet mountain spring water as the source. Strictly abide by the ancient method, using the traditional process of solid fermentation of pure grains, three steaming and three brewing. Abandoning the addition of spices, the wine is naturally soft and sweet, with the characteristics of clear, positive, sweet, clean and long.

The reason why she knew so clearly was that once when she was eating at a daily restaurant, she heard Wu Fannian talk about it. He also said with regret that he had drunk it once in the light of his master, and he didn't know when he would be able to drink such a fine wine again next time.

Li Ziyu put the empty wine bottle and the whole bottle of wine that she hadn't drunk before into the original wooden box and put it on the wooden box in the West House. She became more and more curious about the Lin family, she could get such wine, and the family's heritage could be seen.

Several small ones fell asleep lying on the kang in the West House, and Li Ziyu shook off the two quilts and covered them. On the hot kang, everyone's little faces are red from sleep, and it looks cute.

It wasn't until around the middle of Shen Shi that Lin Tianshu got up and washed. When he was washed, Xiaoshan and the others woke up.

Li Ziyu knew that Lin Tianshu was worried about corn and buying land, so she invited Lin Tianshu to sit at the desk and gave him a heart-saving pill straight to the point:

"Brother Lin, I'll go over to buy land after the year, I don't know when your yamen will open?"

When Lin Tianshu heard this, his face really showed a relieved expression. He patted his chest exaggeratedly, let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Little jade girl, you have to talk about it!" Our county opened on the sixth day of the first month. I will wait at the yamen early, see you or leave! ”

The big thing was negotiated, and Lin Tianshu didn't stay long, so he proposed to leave. Before leaving, I picked a lot of every vegetable in the vegetable box, and asked for less than half of the fresh mushrooms picked from the bamboo forest.

Li Ziyu added another piece of roe deer meat and a piece of venison to these things. Wrap it in clean oiled paper and put it in a bamboo basket with other vegetables.

Lin Xing blushed a little and looked at his master who even ate and took it, and said goodbye to everyone one by one with a bamboo basket on his back.

When Lin Tianshu walked under the locust tree at the door, he smiled weirdly at the tree before turning around and leaving.

Bu Jiu and Bu Shi on the tree couldn't help but feel chills behind their backs, and they didn't know what bad ideas this master had come up with.

Standing on the hillside and watching the backs of Lin Tianshu's master and servant walk away, Li Ziyu and his younger siblings turned around and went back to the courtyard.

When she got back into the house, she took out the red paper that Bu Shi had bought from the town, spread it on the desk, and cut it into pieces. Seeing Xiaoshan looking at her puzzled, he said, "Do you want to write Spring Festival couplets?" How would it feel to paste the doors and doors of your home with the Spring Festival couplets you wrote yourself? Experience? ”

"Is that okay?" Xiaoshan was so excited that his face turned red.

"Of course! Each of you should write at least one Spring Festival couplet, we can't use it at home, so you can send it to Aunt Yang's family. It can also be given to someone else's home. ”

Several younger siblings wrote couplets in the East House with great interest, and she and Li Luo discussed making dumplings to eat at night.

In modern times, she is a northerner, and her mother makes dumplings to eat every Chinese New Year's Eve. Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother carefully prepared the meat filling and wrapped the dumplings almost reverently. Mother is very good at making minced meat. I don't know how she got it, the smell of water and fresh fragrance, now she still tastes it fragrant, and she can't forget it.

It is said that there is also a legend about eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the original name of dumplings is "Jiao'er", which is said to have been invented by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. (To be continued......)
