PS: In the new year, let's start with a Chinese New Year's Eve meal with the Li family......

For the time being, this is the case, and the insufficient part will be made up for a while~~

In the forty-sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the Chinese New Year's Eve was held later than in previous years. Although because of the accident of Li Zhengtai's family Li Zhao and San Lang in the fourth room, the original festive day was cast a faint shadow. But this did not affect the villagers of Lijiatun to sit together, eat a reunion dinner lively, and welcome the arrival of the new year in the sound of firecrackers.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which means reunion, is the first time that the second room of the Li family eats with the seventh uncle and grandfather. The Seventh Uncle Ancestor looked very energetic, and the brown brocade jacket on his body was a New Year's gift from several juniors in the family.

The fabric from Li Zhengyuan, the youngest grandson of his in-laws, and the cotton money from Baozi's father, the eldest grandson who nominally passed on to the second room. Li Xu was in charge of tailoring the clothes, while Yin Xiaolian embroidered patterns between the sleeves of the cardigans with auspicious wishes.

After the Seventh Uncle Ancestor received this jacket, how happy he was. When this family sits around for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they wear this warm jacket to the heart, and the old face full of wrinkles has always been happy. Lee also received a short jacket of a similar style, but the color of the fabric was dark red.

There are many skins in Li Junran's estate, whether it is small capillary furs such as broomtail mink and sable, or large capillary furs such as fox and tiger skins, all of which are quietly piled up in the warehouse to collect dust. Such a good opportunity, according to his current identity, he can't make a big piece of water and wear it on his body. To say that it is not depressed is absolutely deceitful.

Thereupon. Li Junran took the opportunity to make new clothes for his family during the Chinese New Year, so he picked a few of the most inconspicuous raccoon dog hairs. Each person in the family has a small leather jacket and vest, which is worn close to the body. The rest was sewn on the collar and cuffs of the two short jackets of the Seventh Uncle Ancestor and Li Cui's family.

Li Junran originally wanted to make a cloak with a big fur collar for herself, Yin Xiaolian and her little brother Li Junyang. Since watching "Golden Branches X Sin" and "The Legend of Huanhuan" in her previous life, Li Junran has liked the floor-length fur collar and plush hand warmer in it.

It's a pity that the current Li Junran is really eye-catching in Lijiatun, and with her current small body like a short winter melon, even if she is draped on her body, she can't wear that beautiful style at all. For this reason, Li Junran was a little depressed in her heart, and she thought more and more that this year would pass sooner, and she would be able to move to Yuezhen after the Lantern Festival.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The seventh uncle ancestor, who was the oldest and the most senior, sat in the middle. Li Cui's sat on the left hand side of the seat, and his hands were Bao Zi's father and Li Xu's two sons, as well as Li Junyang. Li Zhengyuan sat on the right hand side of the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, and Yin Xiaolian and Li Junran sat first. Aunt Xiao Zheng sat at the end.

For the banquet, the little girl Qiliu was missing. But there is an extra pair of uncles and nephews. Aunt Xiao Zheng was a little surprised in her heart. But in the end, because of the identity, it's hard to say anything. Especially when Aunt Xiao Zheng saw that her two owners were quite familiar with this strange uncle and nephew, she didn't say much.

This strange uncle and nephew are naturally not outsiders. It was Yin Xiaolian and Li Junran, who took Yi Rong Dan and dressed up in disguise. Only this time, Li Junran dressed up as a child, a little boy with a dull complexion who always lowered his head and didn't like to talk much. As for Yin Xiaolian, she became the young man who sent New Year's goods to the second room of the Li family before noon.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which started more than an hour late, was very rich. Placed in the center of the table is the one that Li Junran made not long after returning to Lijiatun, and the Buddha jumping over the wall that everyone who has eaten will never forget. This time, Li Junran made a little more money. Not only are the containers on the outside deliberately selected old sake jars that have been buried underground for at least half a century, but also the raw materials are all very good. Not only do dozens of raw materials such as sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fins, dried scallops, and Sichuan peppercorns be selected, but also deliberately boiled with woody and non-smoking white charcoal fire, and simmered for seven or eight hours.

That taste is naturally better than the previous Buddha jumping over the wall.

In addition, three cold dishes were prepared, glutinous rice and sugar lotus, osmanthus dates and cold kelp shreds.

Li Junran originally wanted to make a secret braised beef, but unfortunately the cattle cultivated here in the Apocalypse Dynasty were not allowed to be slaughtered casually, and it was not so easy to eat beef-related delicacies. So much so that Li Junran wants to eat her favorite steak and carrot stewed beef brisket and beef gas (secret braised beef head meat), but she can only eat it secretly in the manor.

As for the hot dishes, fish is a must, because there is a surplus (fish) every year. In addition, there is also the braised pork belly that Seventh Uncle Zu (before) likes to eat the most. Spicy pork intestines, fried vegetarian meatballs, sour and hot potato shreds, and a dessert with shredded sweet potatoes, a total of nine dishes and one soup. Take the meaning of perfection.

This time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the little uncle Li Zhengyuan specially got a big fish in the sea, which weighed almost ten pounds. Aunt Xiao Zheng burned the sea fish into a braised one. Even if you put a lot of green onions, ginger, garlic and wine to taste to remove the fishy, this bowl of braised fish is still not fresh enough, and the taste is a little unsatisfactory.

To say that this is also the harm of Li Junran's manor. Isn't it always said that "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift". In the past, although it was not enough to have big fish and meat every day in the manor, the abalone and cucumber wings were the freshest in terms of ingredients, and naturally the most delicious. Just like a person who is used to eating fresh shrimp, he is suddenly asked to eat dead shrimp, and he has been dead for a long time, even if the chef is skilled, he is afraid that he will not be able to make the taste of fresh shrimp.

What's more, Aunt Xiao Zheng rarely cooks fish on weekdays, let alone sea fish.

Li Junyang took a bite and didn't move his chopsticks to the braised fish in front of him. As for Li Xu, he hadn't had morning sickness yet, but when he smelled the fishy smell, he immediately began to make a fuss in his internal organs, covered his mouth and ran out quickly.

"Liu Erniang, this is ...... Pregnant? Seventh Uncle Ancestor's originally cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, "Got it?" ”

"No, it's just a few days a month. I thought that after three months, the baby would be stable and then tell Lao Zu'er about you. mentioned that his daughter-in-law Li Xu was pregnant again, and Li Cui's heart was so happy.

"Good. I didn't expect the old man to be old, but it could be regarded as waiting for the day when he hugged his little great-grandson. The Seventh Uncle Ancestor said with a smile, and turned his resentful gaze to his little grandson Li Zhengyuan, who was drinking soup with his head down, trying to reduce his sense of existence, "If you wait for Ah Yuan, a stinky boy, I don't know how many years I will have to wait." ”

Li Junran, who was on the side, stretched out his chubby little paws, tugged at the sleeve of Li Zhengyuan, who was sitting beside him, and said with an innocent face: "Little uncle, how many years will you wait?" Wait a few years? ”

Li Zhengyuan turned his head sideways, and turned white at the smiling and gloating face in front of him, and his teeth itched with hatred. What about the shyness of saying yes? He knew that even if the little girl disguised herself as a little ghost who was only six or seven years old and always kept her head down, the naughty and mischievous factor in her bones was still there.
