When Dugu Xinci came out with a cigar in his mouth and invited everyone to lunch, everyone saw his triumphant appearance, and suddenly felt that the mercy just now was too worthless.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, push and grind to make tofu.

Lunch is naturally themed around tofu.

The tofu crucian carp soup is milky and white, and it makes people appetize when they look at it.

Shrimp and tofu jade soup, coriander tender green, shrimp meat bright red, tofu jade white, bright color.

A large pot of loach stewed tofu is full of wildness.

Duck blood tofu soup, red and white, distinct.

A basket full of braised pork with frozen tofu is full of portions.

The yellow and white casserole of fish roe and tofu is festive and auspicious.

Hoof tendon tofu stewed yam, nourishing and fragrant.

Thousands of braised chickens, full of color and flavor, and delicious sauce.

Look at the big dishes again, braised tofu, fried tofu, spicy tofu, crab roe tofu, fried tofu with winter bamboo shoots and bacon, soy tofu, stuffed tofu, fried tofu, fried tofu, pine flower preserved egg tofu, roasted tofu with Chinese cabbage, fried tofu with winter sunhock, pork belly with tofu skin, minced bean skin rolls, steamed tofu balls,

Shiitake mushroom Wensi tofu soup.

There is also a bowl of tofu brain and a plate of moldy tofu per person.

Eight large urns and sixteen blue and white porcelain plates, everyone knew how lonely and unheard of they were, and an ordinary tofu was actually played with so many tricks.

Ah Gou continued to move vegetables to the table, this time it was eight pots of stewed meat, stewed mutton, stewed hooves, stewed pig's tail, stewed pig's heart and fat intestines, chestnut stewed pheasant, cordyceps stewed fat duck, mountain mushroom stewed venison, old hen stewed roe deer.

When the big bear finally moved out a three-foot porcelain basin, everyone was stunned again, this is a picture of six cranes carved with tofu, which is the appearance of the six cranes sculpted by the new Huaqingqiu master Ning Bing, which is more than a foot high, and has its own form.

"Tofu is a good thing, it's better to do any business than tofu, to do business, only tofu is the safest! If it is hard, it is dried tofu, if it is thin, it is tofu brain, if it is thin, it is tofu skin, if it is gone, it is soy milk, when it is boiled dry, it is bean tendon, and when it is stinky, it is stinky tofu! If you can't sell it in winter, put it outside, freeze it into frozen tofu, and make sure you don't lose money! "Dugu Xinci is still pouring everyone's magic sounds.

"If the Dugu Great Warlock can work so the magic again, I'm afraid that if I return to the Great Warlock, it will not be a problem to advance the Divine Warlock" Wei Yi smiled and said, I don't know whether it was praise or sarcasm.

The sage was not surprised to see it earlier, and he led the Queen Mother Dugu to take a seat, and his own big horse golden knife sat on the left hand, Wei Yixiao on the left hand, and then the new Hua Qingqiu Great Magician in the left hand, Jin Wuying, Feng Yuanyi, Yang Sixuan, and Pei Min each sat down, the round table was big enough, and the sage instructed Dugu Jialuo and Fanbang trio to also sit down, and Dugu Xin chattered to accompany the last seat.

Dugu Xinci is also a hard worker, pouring wine and cloth dishes to explain various dishes, so busy that his wine glass has been poured for a long time and has not fallen half.

Waiting for a group of bigwigs, let everyone go back to the main hall to drink tea, Dugu Xinci had to drink and eat food in his spare time, and invited the big bear and dog to accompany him, but he saw the senior brother Hua Qingqiu return to the dinner table.

"Senior brother hasn't eaten yet?" Dugu Xinci asked.

"I'm not used to getting along with people, so I came here to drink and celebrate with my junior brother" Hua Qingqiu sat down casually, picked up an empty lamp, and let Dugu's heart be full of kindness.

One of the brothers is nearly fifty years old, and the other is just double ten, but they are all pale heads, looking at each other and smiling, and raising a glass to win.

Dugu Xinci asked about the situation of Huashi's old house, but Hua Qingqiu's words increased, saying that it was basically kept good, and there was no junior brother Mengcheng'ao Mansion in the largest, located near Beiniu Temple on Changlepo North Four or Five Miles Road, not far from Baqiao and Academy.

Dugu Xinci thought about it and asked, Where is it not far from the confluence of the Ba River and the Chan River?

Hua Qingqiu replied that it was exactly, where did the Jin Wuying Magician also buy a lot of vacant land and mansions.

Dugu Xinci asked again, the senior brother is already a great magician, can the Tang Academy let you build a branch of the academy, if so, with the old residence of the Chinese Normal University as the center, a certain number of Chinese Normal University halls, recruit disciples, spread the mastery of the Chinese Normal School, and let the world know the merits of the Chinese teacher.

The two brothers talked and drank, and Dugu Xinci also became interested, comparing and drawing on the table, suggesting how to build a school, how to accept students, and how to teach.

"The first rule of the hall of the Chinese Normal University is that if you make a mistake, you must hit the palm of your hand, the lowest of five times, and the highest of fifty" Dugu Xinci shouted, just when the saint who came over heard it, he was stunned, and thought about it, it must be that this son was skilled by the Chinese Normal School, and he needed to be found in the juniors.

Hua Qingqiu also nodded, "After hitting the palm, I will be punished to meditate in the back hall"

This person must have been punished like this many times.

So the sage listened to a few words of the two brothers' plan for the Chinese Normal University, which is nothing more than recruiting students, the poor and the lowly are not limited, no tuition fees are charged but they must work while learning, Dugu Xin is kind and beautiful, and his name is work-study, and practice brings true knowledge, Hua Qingqiu nodded, saying that this is the Mohist school.

Dugu Xinci said unashamedly, the Mo family's style is asceticism, and a certain Chinese master disciple is happy to cultivate, while practicing happily while making money to make a living, what is the use of a warlock who can't even support himself to learn the magic? Hua Qingqiu retorted that only by learning magic can he support his family, Dugu Xinci sneered, in order to support his family, don't want to learn the law.

The sage was too lazy to listen to a few words, and he didn't bother to say goodbye to him, so he brushed his sleeves and returned to Beijing.

The two brothers drank wine and forgot the time, until the Queen Mother Dugu came to find it, only to know that it was dinner time again, Dugu Xinci drunkenly ordered Ah Gou to make a few side dishes to send everyone away, but he and his senior brother continued to review the life of Huashi, claiming to erect a monument for Huashi at the confluence of the two rivers in Chanba, so that the world admires.

The senior brother agreed very much with the junior brother's move, and drank another drink, until Hua Qingqiu slipped to the ground drunkenly, and the crowd found that the new great magician was actually drunk.

On the day of advancement, he was drunk and fell under the table, and this matter became an anecdote that the great magician Hua Qingqiu could not erase.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the pig was killed and the meat of the New Year was cut.

Another village has been helping Dugu Xinci to collect all kinds of markets, flying in the sky, running on the mountain, jumping in the grass, walking on the ground, swimming in the water, as long as it is not too remote, such as chickens, ducks and geese, wild geese and wild pigeons, roe deer and civet cats, deer, rabbits, sheep and pigs, fish, shrimp, turtles, because the price is appropriate, another village has become a concentrated place for Yaoshan game.

In just over a month, seventy or eighty domestic pigs, three or four hundred sheep, and more than a dozen live wild boars were collected, and dry goods were piled up in the two wings of the small kitchen courtyard in Mengcheng Ao.

Dugu Xinci counted his fingers, there are now three or four hundred people in another village, seven or eight hundred people in Beishan Workshop, a total of more than one thousand two, with a wave of his hand, each person distributed five catties of pork and five catties of mutton for the New Year, Zhongsun blinked his eyes, this can be six thousand catties each, according to each pig's production of 100 catties of net meat, it is counted as killing 60 pigs, and 200 sheep are not enough.

"Well, kill sixty-five domestic pigs, three hundred sheep, five wild boars, don't send them if there are not enough chickens and ducks, and buy them for two yuan each."

Zhongsun's execution is a bargain, and in half an hour, he found nearly 100 strong men in another village, as well as many idle aunts, and began to build a stove to boil water on the snow in front of the pig farm, ready to kill pigs and sheep.

The hairpins also moved when they heard the wind and sent hundreds of men in shifts to help.

Feng Yuanyi has been proud of the spring breeze recently, the order of 500,000 is still settled, and he has handed over 100,000 on behalf of the inner library, and the 350,000 distributed to the inner library They actually only produced 150,000, and the quality is far inferior to this, it seems that the fireworks set off in the Yuanri Palace this year have to come out here, these days are still working overtime, and nearly 100,000 barrels have been stored, as for the artillery battle, Dugu Xinci only cares about smirking when he asks, Dugu Xinci is too lazy to ask again, it seems that the variety is not much worse than fireworks.

As soon as Feng Yuan heard that Dugu Xinci gave New Year's meat to the craftsmen, he also turned upside down, and said politely twice, so he shouted, he needs two hundred catties, and the Qi State Mansion has not prepared New Year's goods?

"Let the lady of the Ru family say" Dugu Xinci is too lazy to care, although Feng Yuanyi is a eunuch, he has two ladies, Dugu Xinci secretly slanders himself, it is really a waste.

"A certain lady is your aunt, and you should be filial piety" Feng Yuanyi, the prince of Qi State, and Duguzhen, the king of Liaoyang County, have recently eased their relationship, and from time to time they put elders in front of Dugu Xinci.

"A certain filial piety will be sent to the Duke of Qi's mansion, and the return gift of the Duke of Qi can be prepared?"

The two chatted for a while, and there were bursts of wails of pigs and sheep before death on the barren slope of the pig farm.

The formation of hundreds of people is also quite spectacular, four or five strong men hold down a pig, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, the pig's blood is sprayed in the prepared copper basin, and then put it into the water tank filled with boiling water, soak it for a while, scoop it up, make an opening on the pig's leg, the round head is long and the skin is passed through a few air eyes, a few strong enough to blow desperately, blow a pig to the puff, and then hang it on the wooden frame to shave hair.

After the hair is cleaned, it is disemboweled, and the internal organs are disemboweled, which was thrown away in the past, and now I know that the pig's large intestine, pig heart, pig lungs are good things, and naturally cleaned and set aside by a group of big girls, and the pig's head is also cut off and thrown into the fire to burn the hair.

Dugu Xinci took the big bear and the dog into battle in person, and the degree of familiarity was actually more than that of several rural butchers.

At noon, it is naturally steamed buns that are boiled, and several large pots of stewed vegetables and cranberries are stewed with fat and bones, and stewed pork offal, which makes the men who have been busy all morning applaud.

In the afternoon, sheep slaughter continued.

Busy until dark, before finishing work, the meat that was killed has been distributed by Zhongsun Wuyi, and the pigs and mutton sent to Mengchengao also have thousands of catties, and the smell of many pigs makes the Queen Mother Dugu hide in the small courtyard of the tea house and are too lazy to come out.

In the evening, Dugu Xinci opened the braised pot, took the big bear dog and three friends of Fanbang and their six companions, and opened five big iron pots, fat meat, pig's trotters, pig's tail, pig's heart, pig's liver, mutton and haggis, several large pots of condiments were thrown into it as if they didn't need money, and they were full, and the rich aroma permeated the entire Mengchengao.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughter chickens and catch up with the big set.

Dugu Xinci was busy in the middle of the night, and he was too lazy to move after the morning exercise, and the big bear yelled that he wanted to catch up with the big set, Dugu Xinci allowed it, so that the middle grandson who went to Lantian County to buy New Year's goods was no different from him, but Yu Zhi's three friends from Fanbang also quarreled to go, and finally even Dugu Jialuo followed, only Yu Agou was not interested, and accompanied Dugu Xinci to continue to kill chickens and ducks.

Still under the barren slope yesterday, but the number of people is far less than yesterday, and the ladies of another village boiled water, and several men began to catch chickens, ducks and geese.

Dugu Xinci was too lazy to do it today, so she took a few glances and went back to Mengcheng Pass to read.

Near noon, the crowd of people who had rushed to the big gathering returned, and they were all very excited.

"There are so many people," the rammed bear's new clothes were torn.

There was actually Wen Yu Dalang who came with a family in Lantian, who was also a new set of clothes, and gave gifts to the Queen Mother again and again, Dugu Jialuo actually twisted and pinched, Dugu Xinci looked funny, this Wen Yu Dalang is also in his early twenties, and he has not yet started a family.

Wen Yu Dalang is still investigating the situation of Cao Yun, the sage also summoned him, and listened to his report with Yousi, the specific plan for repairing Cao Yun has come out, Wen Yu Dalang will be responsible for coordinating with the staff of the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Works, and the appointment of the duty department will also be announced on the first day.

Seeing the visit of an old friend, Dugu Xinci was naturally happy, and at noon a table full of poultry feasts was renovated.

Salt-baked chicken, brine duck, steamed goose, stewed pigeon, fried goose meat, grilled turtle dove, chicken offal copper pot, egg custard, fat goose paws, duck neck, tea eggs, roasted goose wings, pork belly chicken, ginseng chicken soup pot.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, every household made their faces.

After breakfast, the Queen Mother Dugu personally led the team, and a group of people began to knead dough and make snacks.

Dugu Xinci kneaded dough, A dog chopped stuffing, and the queen mother took people to make dumplings, dough cakes, steamed buns, flower rolls, glutinous rice cakes.

Dugu Xinci's shot is naturally extraordinary, there are many kinds of stuffed meat, mutton filling, pork filling, chicken breast duck breast, sugar sand, lotus paste, vegetable filling, meat filling also has fresh meat sauce meat, green vegetables also have wead, okra, cranberry, lotus root and so on.

There are dozens of kinds of fresh meat buns, sauce meat buns, chicken diced xiaolongbao, crystal dumplings, mutton patties, flower rolls, two-color steamed buns, sugar kernel glutinous rice cakes, and dozens of colors.

At noon, Dugu Xinci prepared a variety of noodles, knife-cut noodles, hand-rolled noodles, wontons, ramen, dumplings, poured with stew, fried sauce, egg cakes, and the Queen Mother Dugu also held a big bowl and snorted non-stop.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the little Chinese New Year's Eve is lit with heavenly incense.

Near noon, the king of Liaoyang County arrived with Qiu Bin and eight guards, rested for two days, and had to go to the court meeting on the first day, and by the way, he brought the holy decree, so that Dugu Xinci must participate.

In the words of the saint, tie that kid back.

Dugu Xinci was very troubled, and the lunch was prepared by themselves.

The Queen Mother Dugu is also troubled, she also has to return to the palace, and she has to accept the audience of the wives on the first day.

Empress Dowager Dugu simply decided to leave tomorrow morning and return to Yiqiu Palace for Chinese New Year's Eve, and the King of Liaoyang County also took everyone back to the Liaoyang County Royal Mansion.

The Yuan Dynasty will have to get up early, and it will be too late to rush back from Gongchuan.

On Little Chinese New Year's Eve, Dugu Xinci did his best to clean up a large table, the Empress Dowager took Dugu Jialuo, Dugu Xinci took the big bear A dog, but Yu Zhi took Stalin Fujiwara Ma Yang, Dugu Zhen took Qiu Bin and the eight guards, eighteen people sat at the big round table, Mengchengao canteen set up two more tables, six Fanbang guards, and more than a dozen palace maids in Yiqiu Palace, but it was very lively.

In the center of the round table, there is a warehouse full of fish and rice, and the noodles are shaped, and corn soup is placed to decorate cranberry dices, red beans, soybeans, and mung bean balls.

Clear soup Ruyi pork ribs, lucky sauce elbow, double-flavored high-rise sesame shrimp, four seasons fortune money hair vegetable rolls, four happiness meatballs, bergamot vegetables, golden Ruyi meat rolls, flowers bloom rich king oyster mushrooms, festive cold salad colorful silk.

After eating, King Duguzhen brought some heavenly incense.

Dugu Xinci called a group of people from another village to give out red envelopes one by one, all of which were half a tael of gold leaf.

and let Zhongsun Wuyi take people to set off firecrackers and fireworks in the square of the ancient city ruins.

Nearly 100,000 firecrackers were set off in one go, and 1,888 fireworks were set off.

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu,

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. ”

Dugu Xinci looked at the fireworks in the sky, shining brightly, and muttered to himself.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu,
