After the New Year's greetings, after the ceremony, I drank a bowl of wine condensed by spiritual energy, and everyone who came wanted to pay tribute.

"Okay, except for the number of courtesies of the Daomen, I will accept it, and the rest of you understand the intentions of Jiang, so there is no need to do this. ”

In addition to the number of gifts offered by the Daomen, Jiang Xiaobai declined the number of gifts from others.

Mind is one thing, whether you accept it or not, there is knowledge in it, Jiang Xiaobai does not study, this kind of thing will be returned.

"Alright, folks, please go back. ”

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, under the eyes of everyone with a little regret and admiration, he turned around and stepped on the cloud bridge and went straight up the mountain.

Step by step, the disappearing clouds of Wutong Mountain emerged from both sides, and the Wutong Mountain was re-blocked.

Jiang Xiaobai's figure slowly blurred in everyone's sight, and the fairy trail was ethereal.

Hundreds of schools of thought, people from all walks of life dispersed.

Although they came all the way earlier and only stopped for a moment, they were able to see Jiang Zhenren, who had unparalleled prestige in Kyushu, and left an impression in front of the real person, and everyone felt honored.

The real person also gave him a bowl of spiritual wine! It would be better if the real person could accept the tribute.

Many people left satisfied, and after a while, the Wutong Mountain was clean again.

The wind comes, the wind goes, and the speed of a group of cultivators is fast.

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai returned to the yard, he hurried back to the back kitchen.

In fact, it took less than ten minutes before and after he went out.

This New Year's dinner in charge of him is obviously much more important than everyone giving him New Year's greetings.

However, Jiang Xiaobai went in and found that Li Shuiyue, who was dressed in plain clothes all the year round, was making the last dish in front of the pot stove a little awkwardly.

Egg dumplings.

This dish is the favorite of the little girl every year, first with fatty pork in a pan with a layer of oil, and then with beaten egg liquid oil fried into a golden brown egg skin.

Then use chopsticks to pick up the filling made of cooked glutinous rice and pork cubes, put in the spread egg skin, and then wrap it up, and it is ready.

said that this princess of the ancient country was by the stove at this time, holding the green silk in her ears and temples with one hand, and carefully pounding in the pot with a pair of chopsticks in the other.

When Jiang Xiaobai walked over, he saw a few "broken" egg dumplings in the pot, and couldn't help laughing.

"Let the son see the smile, the concubine has never been close to fireworks, and her hands are relatively stupid, I have seen this dish made by Sister Hatsune before, and when I saw that the son had something, I wanted to try it myself, but it was not as simple as the concubine imagined. ”

Li Shuiyue saw the smile on Jiang Xiaobai's face, she didn't know, but she was not embarrassed, and smiled lightly.

She was a princess of a country thousands of years ago, a daughter of a daughter, she is indeed not close to fireworks, she doesn't know any cooking skills, when Jiang Xiaobai was not there before, she was all cooking in Hatsune, she just learned some simple skills.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled heartily and said, "I'll teach you." ”

As he spoke, he took the chopsticks from her hand.

Then he made egg dumplings while explaining and demonstrating to Li Shuiyue, and asked her to try them from time to time.

"In this way, you can't use too much force with a spatula to press the egg skin..."

Jiang Xiaobai saw that Li Shuiyue was easy to puncture the egg skin and break it apart in several experiments, so he also followed and taught him hand in hand, the hands of the two people touched together, and the distance between their bodies was quite close.

One person teaches, one person learns, and they don't care.

Then, at this time, Hatsune hummed happily in her mouth, and came in with a handful of picked and washed green onions.

came in and saw the two of them like this, and was slightly stunned.

"Ahem..."

She watched quietly for a moment, then coughed deliberately.

"Master, the green onion is washed. ”

Hatsune shouted.

"Okay, chop the green onion into finely chopped green onions. ”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't look back and said a word, and then continued to teach Li Shuiyue.

Hatsune put the chopped green onion on the cutting board, picked up the knife, looked at Jiang Xiaobai and the others, and chopped the chopping board with a bang!

How do you look like it's intentional!

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn't pay attention and was concentrating on teaching Li Shuiyue to cook.

.............

"Alright, it's time to serve. ”

Finally, the ten bowls were finished, and after two hours of busy work, the table was finally opened.

Steaming dishes are served from the back kitchen.

People are also served one by one.

Even the queen Ah Cha, who had not been seen before, appeared on time.

"Where did Ah Cha girl go, and what is the surrounding environment?"

Jiang Xiaobai politely asked Ah Cha.

Invite her to be a guest, the friendship of the landlord still has to be fulfilled, and she still has to say a few words.

"I went to that abyss, and it was a graveyard of ancient monsters. ”

However, the other party's answer made Jiang Xiaobai's eyelids jump, this woman went to the abyss of demonic energy, and went in to take a look.

"How's it going inside?"

Jiang Xiaobai straightened his color, his eyes flashed with divine light, and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't go deep, but I sensed that there was a powerful remnant soul in it, so it was naturally not a good place. ”

"Ah Cha girl can sense the breath of the two demon demons in the White Dragon Demon Mountain, and these two people are practicing in the Demon Mountain. ”

Jiang Xiaobai listened to this, his eyebrows narrowed slightly, and then he asked about the two dragon clan demons, Seven Kings and Lao Jiu.

Ah Cha shook his head lightly, and then ignored Jiang Xiaobai, and found a place to sit down at the table.

Jiang Xiaobai muttered in his heart when he heard that the second demon was not there, but this was obviously not the time to pursue this, so he suppressed his mind and turned back to the table.

Vegetables, wine, dishes and chopsticks are all in place, Jiang Xiaobai wrote a pair of red couplets and pasted them on the lintel.

Then he began to preside over the sacrificial wine and sacrifice to the ancestors.

Pour a cup of sake into each cup and dip it in each cup with chopsticks.

Put three long incense sticks on it, light two bright candles, and pour half a glass of wine.

"Hatsune, girl, come with me, wait a while. ”

After toasting grandpa, he naturally wanted to go to the old road, so he called Hatsune and the girl.

"Amitabha, the poor monk also went with him. ”

The old monk also got up at this time, he knew that he was going to sacrifice to the old way.

The two also have a relationship.

Jiang Xiaobai naturally had nothing to say, and with a flick of his sleeves, he flew out of the yard together.

Not long after, several people returned from the sacrifice in Feilong Mountain.

The last step of the New Year's reunion dinner is to light firecrackers.

The big red firecracker unfurled and slipped into the courtyard wall.

"Brother, I want to release, I want to release. ”

The little girl scrambled to hold the lit incense stick, and ordered.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't refuse, and gave it to her, and then the little girl ran over excitedly, squatting in the distance, stretching out her little hand, a little scared, and a little expectant.

And the rhubarb of the little milk dog is far away, barking from time to time, jumping left and right. The scared little girl's hand shook and trembled, and she couldn't click it all the time.

"Stinky rhubarb, don't scare me. ”

The little girl "angrily" drove away the rhubarb and continued to be careful and expectant to light the firecrackers.

"Crackling..."

Finally, the firecracker ignited, and suddenly the paper flowers exploded.

The little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly threw away the long incense in her hand, covered her ears and ran towards the door of the hall.

After running a few steps, his small body ran quickly and unsteadily, and he was about to fall.

A gust of wind came, and her brother Jiang Xiaobai hugged her with a smile.

"Giggles. ”

The little girl also giggled happily in her brother's arms.

Others were happy to watch.

Then, the group entered the house and closed the door.

The lights in the house are on, and the smell of gunfire is permeated outside, and it is full of fireworks in the world.

This is the simple taste of the New Year.

"!"

At the dinner table, everyone raised their glasses and had a reunion dinner!

The mountains are mottled, the winter is deserted, the frost is all over the sky, and the wind is pulling and shouting.

Deep in the mountains and lonely forests, this liveliness is unique!
