236. Chapter 236
On Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed in the morning, decorating the world with snow-white, quite a bit of a New Year's atmosphere.
Crackling, Su Liu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, opened the curtains, looked out through the glass window, and looked up at the square eaves, which were decorated with snow, which was very beautiful.
The sound of firecrackers exploded, Su Liu knew that it was the Chen family who sacrificed to the gods and Buddhas in the morning, and there was nothing left and right, so she simply propped up the window, retracted it into the quilt, and lay on the bed and watched the goose feathers and snow fall outside the window, thinking about the trivial things after coming to this world.
Although she has only been in this world for more than half a year, many things have happened, she was beaten, took her mother away, opened a stall, made ejiao, met the powerful, and tied herself up with a general's husband.
Everything seems to be going well, but it is inevitable that there are some steps to make, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of fights, although I am a little tired of facing those superb relatives, but I am not worried, but it is much better than the modern life.
At least she is now also a person who has a house, a car, a future husband, and a ticket.
It's just that with the exposure of Ning Guang's identity, she knows that the new year may not be so smooth, the road ahead is very long, she chose him, she has to choose his life, no matter how she doesn't like it, she has to participate.
Unless, Ning Guang will never leave here for the rest of his life, but is it possible?
No way!
The eagle should live on the grassland and soar in the sky to be worthy of the word eagle!
"Miss Liu'er hasn't gotten up yet?"
Just when Su Liu was thinking nonsense, a female voice sounded outside, it was Zhong Cainiang.
"Well, the window is up." Iced Tea was a little surprised, and knocked on the door again: "Big girl, are you up?" ”
"Fetch water." Su Liu sat up and stretched.
It seems that I have fallen too much, what did I not do when I first came? Now you have to be served to wash your face.
After grooming neatly, Su Liu saw Zhong Cainiang standing outside the door, the corners of her mouth tugged, and said, "Miss Zhong got up so early?" Are you feeling better? ”
Zhong Cainiang was recognized as a righteous sister by Ning Guang two days ago, and she was sick, but it was only two days, and that pretty face was boiled into a pointed melon seed face, which looked a little pale and more lovable.
"Thanks to the girl, it's already good." Zhong Cainiang's face was haggard, and she blessed Su Liu.
"This illness is like a mountain, and the illness is like a thread, Miss Zhong is better to be careful, now it is snowing heavily, the weather is cold, and it is warmer in the house, so you have to take care of it." Su Liu smiled lightly.
"I have something to say to the girl." Zhong Cainiang seemed to be impatient with Su Liu's words, and said hurriedly.
"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many people in the family, and I still have a lot of work, I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with Miss Zhong, if it's not urgent, let's talk about it after the year."
Su Liu dropped a sentence, ignored Zhong Cainiang's face, and walked straight to the front hall.
Zhong Cainiang wanted to say something, she could probably guess that nine times out of ten she wanted to beg her to let her stay with Ning Guang and didn't want to get married. On this New Year's Day, such a festive day, Su Liu didn't want to listen to these words to block his heart.
Seeing this, Zhong Cainiang bit her lip stubbornly, looked at Su Liu's departing back and clenched her fists.
After breakfast, Su Liu first discussed the menu for Chinese New Year's Eve with Lady Cui with Chen, explained the trivia, and then went to the outer courtyard.
Ning Guang and a few people with iron heads were posting couplets, Chen Ye and Su Xiao were giggling and laughing on the side, and when they saw her coming, Su Xiao saluted hastily, but Chen Ye bowed solemnly.
And when they saw Su Liu, they all called Miss Liu'er, who was the most turtle-haired Zhang Xiaosi, although he was reluctant, he also asked for a gift.
Su Liu smiled lightly and saluted, said hello, and didn't talk too much.
She won't deliberately please them, after all, everyone has the right to like, and she can't control everyone to like herself. She also knew that these people were not convinced by her, and felt that her identity was not worthy of Ning Guang.
Born is a hard injury, and she can't change it.
Whether these people like it or hate it, all she can do is respect each other, too deliberate, but even more contrived.
Now to maintain face like this, you respect me a foot, I respect you a foot, it is very good.
The couplets were written by Sun Xiucai, and many of the couplets in Daao Village were written by Sun Xiucai.
"Actually, this year's couplets of our family should be written by you, so that you can touch the light of the general." Su Liu lowered his voice and said to Ning Guang.
Ning Guang's chin was slightly raised, and he said arrogantly: "My handwriting is better than his." ”
Su Liu snorted lightly, why don't you write it if you write it well?
After pasting the couplet, Su Liu took a basket to the field, now the peppers are somewhat ripe, it is estimated that they can be harvested in spring, Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally to try fresh.
She just thought, make a hot pot at night, and on a cold day, it is most comfortable for the big guys to eat hot pot together.
The days are short and the nights are long, and the time of the day passes quickly, and at two o'clock, Su Liu began to cook the New Year's dinner.
Now they have cooks and subordinates in their families, and it is said that Su Liu and they don't need to start these jobs, but Chen is an idle and traditional woman, and she always thinks that at the end of the year, cooking food for her family is the only way to have a New Year's atmosphere.
Su Liu didn't stop her, after all, cooking is not a rough job, and washing hands and cooking soup for her family is also a happy thing, and she cooks herself.
Because he wanted to make a hot pot, Su Liu had already instructed the kitchen to boil the soup base with big bones, and took out a few boilers, which were specially used to go to the town's iron shop, and the bottom could be filled with carbon, and there was a chimney in the middle, and outside the bottom of the chimney was a circle of copper plates for meat and vegetables.
This kind of boiler was remembered when she went to Yunnan to eat yak hot pot in her previous life, which was convenient and simple.
Su Liu first boiled the base soup and poured it into the boiler, then put the cut red pepper segments, garlic, green onion segments, and ginger slices into it one by one, and then simmered it with charcoal, and prepared other seasonings with his hands and feet.
Because it is the Chinese New Year, the ingredients prepared are very sufficient, not to mention that the chickens, ducks and fish are all ready, Ning Guang had nothing to do before, and led a few people to go to the mountains to hunt, and as a result, they also hunted a wild boar and civet cat, which is a real game, and now it is boiling in the pot.
"Ahh The two girls, Iced Tea and Ya'er, walked into the kitchen with a large basket of vegetables, and were immediately choked and sneezed, "Big girl, what does this smell like?" ”
Su Liu smiled and said, "This is a good thing, you still want to eat it, go and set the meal." ”
The New Year's dinner was eaten in the front hall, and three tables were opened, one table was the Chen family with Su Liu and a few girls, the other table was Ning Guang with the iron head, and the other table was Cui Pozi's family.
The dinner is very rich, the meaning is good, what is the fish (Yu) every year, the lotus root (there is every year), fried double happiness balls, the house full of gold and silver (steamed buns) and so on set a full table, the most surprising thing is that there are a lot of green vegetables stained with water droplets.
"In this weather, you can actually grow vegetables?" Iron Head was surprised.
"Naturally, I can't, but my eldest sister can grow it, and this is what our family's greenhouse grows." Su Xiao proudly showed off: "It was my eldest sister who came up with it, and it's called greenhouse vegetables." ”
Tietou looked at Ning Guang, as if asking about the authenticity of Su Xiao's words.
Ning Guang nodded, with pride in his eyes.
Tietou and Luo Zi glanced at each other, and both of them saw caution in their eyes, how many green vegetables can be planted in Daqi in winter? But they didn't say much, they were only attracted by the pot of things on the table.
"What is this?"
"It's called spicy hot pot."
The iron head took a closer look, and there was a handful of crescent-shaped things in the red, mixed among the green onions, and the red, red, green and green were very good-looking.
And when he got closer, he felt a burst of irritating spicy smell into the tip of his nose, itchy, and almost sprayed in the pot, fortunately, Luo Zi quickly tore him away, otherwise it would be rude.
"Miss Liu'er, what kind of name is this?" Luo Zi picked up a chili pepper with chopsticks and asked.
"This is called chili, it is a food from the exotic land, we don't have it in Daqi, but next year, it will be available." Su Liu smiled faintly, when the chili pepper is planted, there will be an object of chili pepper in Daqi in the future.
Several people glanced at each other, and Ning Guang said: "It's a good thing." "The chili pepper is spicy enough, and it is really good to eat it in winter, warm up, and eat.
Since Ning Guang said so, Tietou and the others naturally did not question it, and when Ning Guang got off the chopsticks, they got off the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, and the result was ......
"Ahem, it's spicy, water, give me water."
"Ahem, water."
"Mom, what is this?"
After a burst of chickens and eggs, Su Xiao and Chen Ye laughed wickedly and watched Tietou and the others scurrying around like flies looking for water.
Fortunately, Su Liu had already prepared, and Iced Tea and Ya'er served iced cold honey water, and poured a few mouthfuls before they eased up.
The chili pepper has just been cooked, in fact, it is not very spicy, and they are not used to it for the first time, but when they eat it, they feel interesting, especially when eaten with spirits, the kind of spicy mixed with wine falls into the stomach, hot and spicy, it is called eating a big sweat, and it is refreshing.
"Miss Liu'er has a pair of skillful hands." Luo Zi raised the bowl and wanted to honor Su Liu: "This Chinese New Year's Eve meal is delicious enough, I Luo Zi respects you." ”
Su Liu was not a cowardly lord, so he stood up with a smile and said, "I wish everyone a happy New Year and all the best in the coming year." The two clinked glasses and drank their drinks.
"Good. Miss Liu'er, I also respect you. The Iron Head also stood up.
"I wish you all the best."
This started, and the rest of the people also toasted one after another, and finally it was Zhang Xiaosi, who was hesitant, but it was an apology wine, and Su Liu didn't care about him, so he simply drank it.
A few bowls of water and wine went down to her stomach, although she was fruit wine, but she also drank her cheeks with rainbows, as bright as peaches and plums.
Ning Guang looked at her from afar, his eyes shining, obviously happy.
He is really happy, although he chooses the person, whether he is worthy or not is up to him, but he also hopes that she can be recognized, and now, the iron head they finally see her good, she is also sensible to give face, he is very happy that he did not brush his face.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Su Liu raised his chin arrogantly and said with his eyes: "Sample, I can give you enough face." ”
The two of them flirted with each other, and in the eyes of Zhong Cainiang on the side, they didn't know if it was spicy or what, and they coughed so much that tears flowed out, sour and spicy.
