It was just an accident to get back this princess suspected to be the Roman Empire from the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

It may be said that it is a small episode of Liu Xian's visit to Youzhou this time to do business. In this way, there is one more blonde woman by Liu Xian's side.

It was Liu Xian's arrival on the last day of the year of the Three Kingdoms era. After this day, it is the new year.

Chinese people are accustomed to family reunions during the New Year's holidays.

But Liu Xian has long been accustomed to celebrating the festival alone.

No, even in the postmodern era, he lived alone, and when he was a teenager, he became an orphan.

Now, although he has arrived in a different world, Liu Xian does not feel lonely. On the contrary, Liu Xian felt very happy, because this time the Spring Festival was no longer spent by him alone.

Now Liu Xian is beside Zheng Feng and Zheng Bo, as well as Huang Wudie, who is equivalent to a confirmed relationship, as well as Yi Ji and the friends invited by Yi Ji.

There are also the thirty or so cavalry cavalry who came here with Liu Xian, the subordinates of Yi Jiamei Garden, and this foreign princess who is temporarily unable to communicate in language.

In this Jicheng, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is also quite warm, and it seems that it is not affected by this troubled world. Of course, according to Yi Ji, if it was a previous year, there would be more activities in Jicheng and more lively, and it would be a situation where the whole city celebrated.

According to Chinese tradition, the last day of the year is Chinese New Year's Eve, and on this day, the family must be together. Therefore, the liveliness of this day is actually the liveliness of purchasing New Year's goods, the street is indeed crowded with people, and the ups and downs of the sound of buying are tirelessly ringing.

Also, what every family must prepare, that is, the couplet is a spring.

On this day, it's basically to procure these things.

Naturally, in the afternoon and evening, there is also a ceremony to worship the ancestors at the temple.

In this ancient era, the government will also hold some temple worship ceremonies, which are mainly to pray for good weather and peace in the coming year. In fact, the government had special officials to preside over some of the rituals. This sacrificial temple is actually a temple fair.

As for ancestor worship, there are activities in which each family gathers together to worship their family ancestral halls, and there are also some worship ceremonies for each family to worship their ancestors.

These are traditions that have been passed down from China for thousands of years, and they have remained unchanged even in the postmodern era.

Liu Xian was not idle this day, and accompanied Yi Ji and Huang Wudie to the temple fair. It was not until the afternoon that he returned to Yijiamei Garden.

Then Liu Xian also deliberately asked Zheng Feng to buy a table of three livestock wine ceremony, and borrowed the place of Yijiamei Garden to pay tribute to his ancestors.

This, Liu Xian would have done it himself when he hadn't gone through this era.

At this time, Liu Xian wanted to pay tribute to his parents in this life, and to pay tribute to his parents in the postmodern era in his heart.

This can be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance for Liu Xian.

Subsequently, Liu Xian also pulled Huang Wudie and kowtowed a few times before the incense case.

Whether it is post-modern or this ancient era, Liu Xian's ancestors in the true sense are no longer there. Liu Xian pulled Huang Wudie to kneel and worship together, which was actually equivalent to telling the ancestors that Huang Wudie was his own woman.

Huang Wudie can understand this, so she knelt down and bowed willingly, and her heart was sweet.

In addition, as Princess Marco from a foreign country, she also clearly felt that this day was full of a festive atmosphere, although she didn't understand it, but she also guessed that this day should be a very special day for the Han. Therefore, when she saw Liu Xian and Huang Wudie bowing to something, she actually joined in the excitement and knelt behind Liu Xian and Huang Wudie.

Liu Xian thought it was funny that she was like this, and he didn't stop her.

After that, Liu Xian's people and Yi Ji's people had dinner together.

Then, it was time to celebrate the Spring Festival.

At the beginning of the night, the whole Jicheng seemed to be more lively and enthusiastic all of a sudden.

In the whole Jicheng, festive red lanterns were hung everywhere, and torches and fires were lit in many places, reflecting the entire Jicheng as if it were day.

The government seems to have deliberately lifted the curfew this night, so that the people can celebrate the New Year to their heart's content.

Outside, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers were rumbling, and the people were singing and dancing.

There are many places that are engaged in some activities, such as acrobatic artists performing wonderful shows on the street, and some rivers and lakes performing arts.

The most attractive people are those who sing, well, this singing opera refers to some shadow puppet plays, puppet plays, and so on.

In this Han Dynasty, there was no Peking Opera in later generations, but there was a puppet opera.

Wu opera is a type of Chinese opera, which is a form of opera formed by absorbing folk songs, dances and dramas on the basis of folk sacrificial ceremonies.

This kind of puppet opera, which originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, used masks as an important means of artistic modeling, and the content was mostly related to religious ghosts and gods.

On this Chinese New Year's Eve, the performance of the opera is actually similar to the meaning of lighting firecrackers, which means to expel the plague gods, remove the old and defile, and reflect the good wishes of the people who yearn for peace.

Here, it should also be noted that the so-called sound of firecrackers does not refer to the kind of firecrackers in later generations. At this time, although gunpowder had already appeared, there was no way to make gunpowder among the people, so there was no such thing as fireworks and firecrackers.

The so-called firecrackers refer to the sound and movement of people burning bamboo and bursting bamboo.

The housekeeper of Yi Jiamei Garden also got a lot of bamboo, and put it in the front yard to burn, making a sound of firecrackers from time to time.

There are also a lot of interesting ones, that is, guess the lantern fans or something, some restaurants and even green buildings, such as Wan Huayuan, a larger place that integrates entertainment and catering, there will definitely be more shows. They will invite some literati and celebrities to hold some poetry parties and cocktail parties together.

However, Liu Xian and the others were reluctant to go out, because they were all waiting for what Liu Xian said, what kind of barbecue party to do.

The weather was a little good that night, there was no snow, and the sky was a little bright, although I couldn't see the stars and moon, maybe the whole city was lit up, and the whole world seemed to be much brighter.

Liu Xian began to direct everyone to work.

The main thing is to cut some meat, then cut out the bamboo skewers according to their own requirements, and then give them some demonstrations, so that they can skewer mutton, beef, chicken, etc. on the bamboo skewers.

Then Liu Xian asked them to make some iron shelves and regenerate charcoal fires.

After that, Liu Xian did the most important step well, that is, to adjust the flavor.

At this time, there are not as many seasonings as in later generations, but some things can be replaced with other spices, so there will be no shortage, and the taste may be a little different, but on the whole, it should be good.

Naturally, the most important thing is the baking skill, but Liu Xian only knows it, but he can't say whether it's good or bad. But this is enough, barbecue, Liu Xian feels that the main thing is to turn frequently, not to overcook, and not to bake half-cooked, especially on a skewer of barbecue, one side is raw and one side cooked, such a barbecue is a failure.

Barbecue to eat, in fact, is not exclusive in this Han, especially for people in this Youzhou. Youzhou is in contact with the alien races outside the Guan, and they must have seen it, and even eaten the barbecue of those nomads.

It's just that their barbecue is different from Liu Xian's current barbecue.

At least, in terms of taste, not to mention who is good and who is bad, but Liu Xian's current barbecue will definitely have richer flavors and types.

It can be said that barbecue like Liu Xian is the first one, which is completely different from the barbecue of those aliens.

In addition, Liu Xian also specially asked the people of the Yi family to make some stone grinders and use them to squeeze some juice. The people of the Yi family prepared a lot of drinks, and Liu Xian also tried to make some cocktails.

Drinking juice cocktails, eating a variety of barbecue delicacies, hugging left and right, and a group of friends together in the sky, such an atmosphere is the real natural and comfortable banquet.

Everything was ready, and Liu Xian personally sat in front of a grill to grill some of the lamb skewers that he thought he was the best at.

At the beginning, everyone didn't understand very much, and they didn't understand how Liu Xian was going to barbecue when he made so many things. So, now that everyone has gathered, let's see how Liu Xian did it.

"Barbecue is a craft." Liu Xian rarely said to the people gathered around him with some pride: "If you learn this craft, then you won't starve to death when you go all over the world, and you don't have to worry about running out of money." And it's easy to learn, this craft, originally I planned to keep it for myself to make a lot of money in business, and I originally wanted to open some barbecue restaurants all over our Dahan to make money. But this time, let's not hide our secrets, whoever loves to learn will take it as a thank you to Miss Yi Ji for taking me in and waiting for the kindness of living in Yi's house. ”

Liu Xian naturally didn't forget to tease the sister paper, and raised his eyebrows at Yi Ji on the side.

Of course, Liu Xian did hold this barbecue banquet for Yi Ji. He wants Yi Ji to have an unforgettable New Year.

Yi Ji glanced at Liu Xian angrily, the more she came into contact with Liu Xian, the more natural and comfortable she seemed to be, and the more she felt that the two of them got along very closely.

"Look!"

Liu Xian ignored Yi Ji's white eyes and placed the skewers of mutton on the grill, and the charcoal fire in the grill was already very hot and spicy.

The lamb skewers were quickly grilled to the point of a sizzling sound of dripping oil.

At this time, Liu Xian kept turning the mutton skewers with one hand, and held a small brush with the other hand to keep brushing the oil and different seasonings.

In just a few moments, a rich fragrance that everyone had never left emanated. This fragrance made everyone's taste buds flutter and their mouths were full of relish.

Really, one of the people present was one by one, and no one had ever seen such a barbecue, let alone smelled such a fragrance.

Liu Xian didn't buy it, and honestly grilled this batch of mutton skewers, which was really charred on the outside and tender on the inside, looking golden and golden, exuding a trace of heat.

The roasted dishes were placed on top of a plate and divided into two plates, one of which was a little spicy.

In the Han Dynasty, there were no chili peppers, but there were peppers, and this could be used instead of chili peppers.

Liu Xian's batch roasted dozens of skewers in total, barely enough for everyone present.

"Okay, everyone on a skewer, taste it first, and then follow the example I just did and bake it yourself. Eat this barbecue, the one you grill yourself is the most fragrant and delicious. ”

After Liu Xian finished speaking to everyone, he first took a string in one hand and handed it to Huang Wudie and Yi Ji respectively.

"You can taste it first, and if you like, I'll continue to bake it for you."

Huang Wudie couldn't bear it anymore, so she took it as soon as she could, and she was not afraid of being hot, so she bit it with a small mouth.

Who doesn't know that this kebab is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it doesn't seem to be hot on the surface, but the meat inside is still fresh and hot.

This Huang Wudie bit a piece into her small mouth, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she was full of brilliance.

At this time, her little mouth was turning again and again, and she was exhaling hot air, which was really hot. However, the taste was so good that she was reluctant to spit it out.

"Delicious...... It's delicious......" Huang Wudie said vaguely.

"Is it really that good?" Yi Ji took it, but she was not as anxious as Huang Wudie.

But she seemed to have doubts on her mouth, but her movements were very honest, and she pinched a small piece with her two green jade fingers, took the small piece of roast mutton off the bamboo skewer, and slowly put it into her small mouth.

Then, she was also stunned, and let out an inhalation sound, which was that she also felt the temperature of the lamb that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and then hit her taste buds by the unique strong aroma, which made her exclaim, but she seemed to be afraid that she would accidentally lose the meat in her mouth, so she made an inhalation sound.

"It's really delicious!" Yi Ji ignored the image, bit her small mouth, and directly tore off a piece of the meat skewer.

"Delicious, right? Slow down, and besides, Ben Gongzi will continue to bake you. ”

Liu Xian took out three or four more skewers, handed one to Princess Marco, and then said to the people around: "I've taken all the points, taste them first, and then everyone will learn to bake them by themselves." ”

Liu Xian alone can't be in charge of barbeconing for them all night. So, after teaching them, let them bake and eat them themselves.

Zheng Feng and Uncle Zheng were not polite, and took the two large plates and distributed them to the people below.

When Liu Xian continued to open the second round of grilling, dozens of people were divided into mutton skewers, and after they ate a bite, they really couldn't stop, which was really delicious. They really never thought that they could be roasted and eaten like this.

At the same time, while they were eating, they also had an indescribable feeling, because they were all subordinates, and Liu Xian's status was much higher than them. But now I can eat the food made by Liu Xian himself, at this time, I don't know whether it is proud or grateful, anyway, everyone is full of reverence for Liu Xian.

After they finished eating, they were naturally unsatisfied, so they each began to do it themselves.

Liu Xian asked people to prepare a lot of grills, which was enough for them to be busy.

For a while, in the Yijia Plum Garden, in the open space of a plum blossom forest where plum blossoms were in full bloom, patches of white smoke came out, emitting bursts of strong fragrance that no one in the world should have smelled.
