The Wei family is already a lantern at this time, and it should be said that the entire Central Plains is festive on this day, because the New Year has arrived, and every household is busy with the top priority of the New Year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ke Weiyu knew that the evolution process of the Spring Festival was very complicated, and the specific dates of the Spring Festival before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were not uniform, the summer calendar of the Xia Dynasty took the first month of the first month, the Yin calendar of the Shang Dynasty took December of the summer calendar as the first month, and the Zhou calendar of the Zhou Dynasty took November of the summer calendar as the first month.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country, he took October of the summer calendar as the end month (that is, the first month, in order to avoid the name of Qin Shi Huang's "Ying Zheng"). During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Spring Festival began to be fixed on the first day of the first month of the summer calendar, and gradually sublimated into a national festival.

Sticking couplets these things are indispensable since ancient times, this year's couplets at the main gate of the Wei family are written by Cai Yong himself, Cai Lao's official book is not comparable to Wei Yu's half-way monk, that stroke shows the heroic momentum of the decent Confucian.

After appreciating the calligraphy of the future father-in-law, Wei Yu was urged into the kitchen, where Lao Li Xiaoli was almost busy, and in addition, Xiaoru was already leading some maids to make some platters.

Wei Yu took a closer look to know that this is the late Han Dynasty Wei Jin popular Wu Xin Pan, the ancient people were good to maintain health, the so-called Wu Xin Pan is just garlic, garlic, leeks, brassica, coriander and other five kinds of spicy things together to eat, the meaning is to exude the five internal organs.

This kind of platter is actually a kind of spring spelling in the future, but this is the custom of this era, even if Wei Yu can't stand the spicy smell of raw garlic, but under the custom, it is inevitable to adapt.

"Childe."

Xiao Ru saw Wei Yu sticking out his head and watching, so he brought some maids up to salute, "Childe is interested in Wuxin Pan, do you want a garlic, this is a good thing." ”

Wei Yu was a little speechless, seeing that when these little maids were making the platter, they still didn't peel off the garlic clothes and eat them raw, so they quickly shook their heads and left the old man.

"Young master, the old man said that this glue tooth cake still needs to be taken care of by the young master himself, I think it's not too early, don't wander around here."

Being said by Lao Li, Wei Yu was a little helpless, but combined with Wuxinpan recall, this gum tooth dumpling is also a must-eat ingredient in the Spring Festival at the end of the Han Dynasty, in fact, it is a kind of starch syrup, which appears in the form of glue, and the effect is nothing more than to replenish the middle and invigorate the qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs and relieve cough.

Wei Yu nodded, his mind was already spinning rapidly, after all, the glue stuff was a little slimy, it was not convenient to eat, and it took a lot of effort to clean it up after eating.

He followed the steps Lao Li said, and began to slowly prepare the gum tooth cake, and when the sugar gum in the big bowl was very thick, he called Xiao Ru.

"Ru'er, do you still have milk at home? Go get some milk. ”

Xiaoru is a little puzzled, the Han Dynasty cow is a precious creature, and the cow that can produce milk is even rarer, so there is really no such thing as cow's milk in a very rich family.

But fortunately, the Wei family is rich and capricious, and there is still some stock of milk, just when Xiaoru was about to go out to get milk, Cai Wenji also walked in, and when she heard Xiaoru listen to Wei Yu's instructions to get milk, she immediately became interested, and the two went together.

Wei Yu poured a large amount of milk into a large basin, mixed it with sugar gum, and poured it all into a flat pot under the blink of an eye of the two women.

Frying pans have long been made, and Lao Li Xiaoli also thinks that these things are very convenient when they fry some things, and there are often some spare things in the kitchen.

After instructing the people who were burning the fire to control the temperature, Wei Yu used a wooden spatula to continuously gather the mixed sugar glue into the pot, and after a while, a rectangular bag of sugar cubes was piled up.

"Fortunately, it's winter, otherwise the master will have to go upside down and how to make ice."

After muttering a sentence in his heart, he put the large piece of sugar aside and cooled it for a while, and Wei Yu washed his hands and began to cut the sugar.

As small as the first bite of this milk candy, I feel like I was born in the fairy world, the melt-in-your-mouth taste, coupled with the rich milky aroma left after chewing, is simply something that does not belong to this world.

Cai Yan also became familiar with the Wei family during this time, this kitchen is where she often comes to, and the two chefs Lao Li and Xiao Li dare not snub their future wife, so they often open a small stove for Cai Yan to cook some food.

At this time, Cai Yan had the appearance of everyone's ladies, and after eating one, he began to eat the second one, and kept urging Wei Zhongdao to cut the candy quickly. Wei Yu was helpless, he also understood the lethality of this milk candy to the Eastern Han Dynasty girl, just a large piece of sugar had been eaten by these two girls.

"Brother Shi!" Cai Yan blinked his eyes and asked with a smile: "Brother Shi is really talented, is this sugar famous?" ”

Cai Wenji is also used to calling Brother Wei Zhongdao these days, although the two will be husband and wife in the future, but they can't be called Xianggong now, and they feel a little embarrassed to call the elder brother and the elder brother.

Wei Yu is also happy to be called like this, the world brother is the world brother, but I don't know that the relationship between love and love and brother and sister is not to clean up and mess up.

"Let's call it Want Want Milk Candy."

Wei Yu has developed immunity to the misappropriation of future generations of article brands, and the masterpieces he copied have been passed on, and now no matter how shameless he is, it is just a small fight.

"Taken from the meaning of Fuwang in the New Year, Yan'er Ru'er will take these leftovers to her father and uncle to taste, and let them vomit a good fortune for the New Year."

Cai Wenji couldn't help but blush when she was called by Wei Yuyan'er, so she pulled Xiaoru to immediately clean up the remaining milk candy on the table, put it in a container and turn it around, and was about to run away.

When she walked out of the kitchen, Cai Wenji was suddenly absolutely taken advantage of by Wei Zhongdao in terms of title, so she turned around and stuck out her tongue at Wei Zhongdao, which was considered to be a grimace.

Wei Zhongdao's eyes as he saw the two girls leave were suddenly stunned, is this really Cai Wenji, a talented woman through the ages? Did she just grimace at me?

Lao Li Xiaoli and the others also saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't help laughing at this time, Wei Yu came back to his senses, his face sank and said angrily: "Have you laughed enough?" Cook when you've laughed enough! I don't want to do it anymore, do you? ”

…

The Wei family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very warm, and there was no small case in the late Eastern Han Dynasty for a long time, and the etiquette of kneeling was also canceled.

The round table for eating hot pot has become the Wei family's table for entertaining distinguished guests, and the wooden recliner is also a handful, in the words of the ancestors, it is comfortable to sit without him.

There are several tables of such a round table, the first table is to sit at the top of the old lady Wei, Cai Yong and others in the acropolis are lined up, Wei Yu and other juniors sit at the bottom, Xiao Ru was not low in the Wei Mansion, but under the repeated requests of the old lady Wei, he also went to the table, and even Wei Yu's cousin Wei Kai is also famous at the table.

The second table was headed by Pan Lao Butler, Pan Min, Lao Li Xiaoli and some other high-level servants of the Wei Mansion, and even a few old servants brought by Cai Yong also sat on it.

The rest of the tables are served one after another, anyway, the Wei family is big enough to be a housekeeper, and there are opportunities for the doorman to be on the table.

The dishes are all paired with Wei language, Lao Li and Xiao Li have also contributed a lot, these two chefs are also famous now, how many families want to hire them with high gold, but they are also people who know how to repay their kindness and ignore them at all.

Braised fish can't move chopsticks, Wei Yu explained the idea that the Han Dynasty did not have more than one year after another, and immediately got the unanimous praise of Cai Yong of the Acropolis, and Wei Yu also sacrificed the big killing weapon he had prepared for many days during the banquet.

As soon as the sweet rice wine came out, it immediately made everyone's eyes red, and the faint taste of wine and sweet taste swept away every table in an instant.

Wei Yu is very satisfied with the experiment of sweet rice wine, he has begun to reach out to the brewing industry, and now the Wei family's grain storage is probably the most in Hedong, as for the large amount of grain needed to brew high-concentration wine, Wei Yu is not distressed at all.

After the wine and food were full, there were only a few older generations still on the table to negotiate, and Wei Yu returned to his courtyard to sit down next to the stone table after being put on a robe by Xiaoru.

There are also Gu Yong, Xu Huang, Ju Yi, Wei Kai, all in all, the four men cut a pot of hot tea, wanting to talk about ideals and life.

"A year has passed like this..."Wei Yu was a little emotional, too many things have happened in the past six months since he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he has met too many interesting people.

"yes, it's another year." It was Wei Yu's cousin Wei Kai who answered, Wei Kai patted Wei Yu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Fool is away all the year round, and I don't know much about the situation at home, but Zhongdao has changed too much this year. ”

Wei Kai lost his father at an early age, and Wei Cheng was also very good to this nephew, and many times he had the idea of passing him over, but Wei Kai rejected it.

This proud official in the Cao Wei period is very self-aware, everything he has comes from the protection of the Acropolis, if he comes over and has an impact on the heir of Weiyu, he will inevitably go around without food.

Wei Yu smiled, he knew that Wei Kai was also a reliable person, not to mention blood relations, but judging from Wei Kai's own actions, he couldn't see any malice towards him at all.

"The year is over, this cold winter is about to pass, the family has hoarded a lot of food, next year... Hey. ”

When several people saw Wei Zhongdao suddenly talking about business, they also looked serious, as if they were waiting for Wei Zhongdao to tell something.

Wei Yu took a sip of tea, seemed to see everyone's expressions, and said with a smile: "Are you all so nervous?" I'm just thinking, how am I going to make those who owe our Wei family pay back next year? ”

Cai Wenji, who was about to come and see what Wei Zhongdao and the others were doing, heard Wei Yu's words coldly, and suddenly hid behind the pillar.

patting her chest, Cai Wenji thought of Wei Zhongdao's demeanor, and muttered in her heart: "I'm afraid those people are going to suffer, this guy is full of bad water..."
