Su Ding used a small pot prepared in advance to put the bottom of the butter pan aside.

Then use the broth to boil the bottom of the pot without chili peppers.

Among the people, Lao Xuanlang and eldest sister Su Qing are both northern tastes, and it is not a problem to eat spicy.

But Guangguang and Da Niu are pure locals, and the taste is usually much lighter.

The frozen beef and mutton pieces are cut into thin slices, Su Ding's knife work is good, and the thickness is basically even, even Su Qing, who has been watching from behind, can't help but say, "Where did you learn this hot pot?"

Su Ding smiled slightly: "When I went to the county seat with my father earlier, I heard from a merchant in a restaurant, and then I tried it twice in private, and the taste was good." ”

Su Qing was puzzled: "Why don't I know." ”

The second sister was present. ”

Hearing Su Ding say this, Su Qing stopped talking.

Among the many sisters, Su Er had the worst relationship with her, and when their personalities were split at the beginning, the two fought for control of the body.

Later, it was Su Ergou who took the initiative to stand up and adjust, and Su Er gave up the dispute.

Since then, the memories between the two have basically blocked each other, and if Su Er sees something, he won't tell himself.

Su Qing no longer dwelled on this problem, and served the bottom of the butter pot first.

It didn't take place, Guangguang and Da Niu ran over shouting and said that they wanted to help Su Ding serve food.

The fragrant soup suddenly made the two boys who had never seen the world swallow their saliva.

Su Ding drove the two out.

If you don't have a conscience, how many times have you told them to call your senior brother directly, and you have to add two in front.

Where is Lao Tzu like a second senior brother?

By the time Su Ding brought out the bottom of the final pot, Lao Xuantou, Su Qing, Guangguang and Da Niu were already sitting neatly around the large copper pot.

Next to it was the old man's desk, which was pulled over and used as a table for putting food.

Su Ding remembered a very serious problem at that time.

"Can you see each other while you're sitting?"

Several people shook their heads at the same time.

Guangguang said distressedly: "Second Senior Brother, it seems that this copper furnace is too big, next time I will go home and make a small one." ”

The old man was in a good mood, touched his beard and said with a smile: "Dipping while eating also has a unique flavor." It doesn't matter if you can't see it, everyone stand up. ”

Su Ding's head.

Master is Master, and he has long understood the truth of standing up and clamping if he can't reach it.

Su Ding put the lamb slices in the pot.

After a while, there were large bubbles in the red soup, and the lamb rolls floated to the soup noodles.

The red oil is tumbling, and the meat smells tangy.

Guangguang and the big bull's eyes looked at the old Xuantou and waited for the master to clip the first chopsticks of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The old man was not in a hurry, he put on a posture with a smile on his face, sandwiched a piece of mutton, and then put in the sauce that Su Ding had prepared for him.

Dip it twice and blow on it again.

It wasn't until the two children were going crazy that they put it in their mouths.

The old man closed his eyes and chewed slowly.

"Master, how does it taste?" Guangguang jumped to his feet beside him.

After a while, the old man opened his eyes, and his serious expression startled the two children.

Isn't it delicious?

The old man laughed: "The entrance is hot and hot on the tongue, but it is very fragrant and tender, compared with the usual cooking method, it has another taste, spicy and fragrant, not bad! Let's try it together!"

The two children immediately cheered and grabbed a ball for who could eat an extra piece of meat, and while sticking out their tongues so spicy, they ran to the master's side without fear of death to eat spicy food.

Su Qing and Su Ding were in charge of picking up the vegetables with a smile.

The old man picked up a glass of rice wine: "In the past, when it came to the New Year, I was all alone, and this year it happened that several of you had something to do, and finally spent the New Year with me, the old man."

Gather around the stove and cheer, and the flavors melt into the small cauldron. The festival can be congratulated, looking forward to the future of the day, the first year of the blessing, the road ahead!

Everyone, drink this cup of rice wine together and celebrate the New Year together!"

Everyone raised their glasses: "Celebrate the New Year!"

......

The sound of firecrackers almost didn't stop from the second half of the night to dawn, and Su Ding held on until almost three o'clock when he couldn't stand it anymore before falling asleep.

Before dawn, Su Ding was quarreled by the sound of firecrackers that shook the sky.

Su Ding got up with panda eyes and found that except for his eldest sister and Guangguang, they had already gotten up.

Except for Su Qing, the eldest sister with unusual energy, who looked normal, the two children were a little lacking in energy.

Su Ding Daqi: "Why did you get up earlier than me?" ”

Da Niu pulled a face and said, "Second Senior Brother, we went to the thatched house six or seven times last night. ”

Su Ding was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"I told you not to eat too much spicy food, but you didn't listen. Does it hurt in the back?"

The two children's faces turned red.

Su Qing coughed lightly and said that he was still here, don't say those filthy words.

"Master, I want to pay him New Year's greetings. Su Dingxing rushed to the road.

"Master has just left the house. "Light Light Path.

Su Ding was surprised: "Master is also going to press the New Year's money? ”

Su Qing finally couldn't help but slap Su Ding, who was out of tune.

"Today, on the first day of the new year, the town will hold a 'blessing ceremony', and Lao Xuanlang is the town's 'ten elders' who are going to show up. ”

Su Ding was puzzled: "Brother-in-law ceremony, it is popular in our town for a brother-in-law to come to the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings?"

Su Qing pursed her lips, not wanting to deal with Su Ding, she said lightly: "I didn't rest well last night, so I'm going to make up for sleep, and Su San will come out and take you over in a while." ”

Su Ding: "......"

It really is different personalities who rest separately.

Is this really scientific?

Su Ding only later learned from Guangguang what 'receiving blessings' meant.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the town holds a large 'auspicious ceremony' to send New Year blessings to the Lord of the Gray Mist who protects the town.

Since it is a large-scale 'auspicious ceremony' held by the town, the offerings used for the sacrifice are also the strength of the whole town.

The Grey Mist Boss will often be merciful and give some people some mysterious spirits, strange things, or other rewards.

The higher the quality of the offering, the greater the reward.

For most people in the town, this may be the only time of year that they can get into the secrets, so everyone cherishes them.

The streets were crowded with people, far more lively than usual.

Because of the shutdown a year ago, there is a lot less coal ash in the air than before.

But the smell of gunpowder from firecrackers is even stronger.

But everyone didn't care, everyone greeted each other and walked in the same direction.

"Little third sister, Guangguang said that every family in the town has to make offerings, do we have any friends?"

Su San looked at Su Ding coldly: "Call me junior again?"

Su Dinghehe: "Third sister, third sister, third sister." ”

Su San's desertion didn't look like the Spring Festival, but like the Qingming Festival, and the strength of his aura actually formed a circle in the crowd that no one noticed.

She said: "Our family is the only workshop in the town that worships the Lord of the Gray Mist, so there is no need to make offerings in advance. Before the auspicious ceremony begins, we will hand it in on the spot as a sign of respect. ”

Su Ding nodded: "Then what are you going to hand in?"

Su San said: "I don't know, you are the heir of the family, and I am not." ”

"Home, family heir?"

With a factory building of fifty square meters, three steam machines and up to ten workers, the heir to the Ergou workshop was dumbfounded.

What am I going to pay?
