On Chinese New Year's Eve, following my grandfather's custom, I ate a vegan meal. Fortunately, many dishes are from Aunt Yan's hands, and all the dishes can enter Qingfeng Building. However, for the Chu family, who are not happy with meat, they are not as attractive as a plate of big elbows. Except for the Jun family, who was happy to eat, everyone else was supervised by General Chu Lao, trying to stuff it into his mouth.

Chu Xiaosi smelled the smell of meat on the little five and six next to him, looked at their shiny mouths, complained that they didn't take him with them, and asked them what good things they ate.

Chu Xiaowu lowered his voice proudly and said, "What else can you eat?" Pig's head, of course! ”

Chu Xiaosi was shocked: "What! How dare you steal the pig's head that is offered to the Lord of the Stove? If grandpa finds out, see if he doesn't break your legs! Little Liu, why are you messing around? ”

At the time of the sacrifice, several of the six brothers of the Chu family had already been hooked by the offerings on the altar, and the greedy insects screamed. It's strange that the pig's head meat marinated in the small kitchen is so fragrant, the smell goes straight to people's noses, and saliva can't be controlled and flows out.

For some aristocratic families in Beijing, pork was a crude and inferior ingredient, not to mention the pig's head and pig offal. For the nobles, the pig's head was only used for sacrifice. A family of military generals like the Chu family is not so particular, pork, cattle, sheep, chickens and fish, they don't pick!

However, the pig's head, not to mention the trouble to clean up, looks weird and panicked, and the taste is not very good, so it has never been served on the table. The young and old men of the Chu family who participated in the sacrificial stove were surprised that the pig's head could exude such a fragrance. The chef in the small kitchen really has the power to turn decay into magic!

Even if you are hungry, you can't eat it on the day of the offering. You must wait for the king of the stove to go to heaven before you can share the food. Chu Xiaosi was surprised by the boldness of the two younger brothers, and they actually dared to make a move on the offerings!

Chu Xiaowu glanced at him and said, "Who stole it?" Don't charge me with it! The small kitchen in the little sister's yard is not just a pig's head. Xiaoliu and I are smelling the fragrance of the past......" After speaking, he showed a smug look.

Chu Xiaosi's nose seemed to be reverberating with the tempting fragrance of braised pig's head, his hand was under the table, he gently pinched the fifth brother a few times, grinded his teeth and said, "You kid!" I went to rub the delicious food, and I didn't know how to call the fourth brother. Don't even think of borrowing a copper plate from me in the future! ”

Recently, Chu Xiaowu bought some jewelry, clothes, rouge gouache or something for Anya from time to time, and the monthly money in his hand was almost spent, and he didn't want to use the small treasury, so he tried his best to "borrow" the silver from his twin brothers.

Chu Xiaosi has been staying in the barracks recently, and where he didn't spend money, he generously gave him all the monthly money this month. Chu Xiaosi regrets it now, he knew that Xiao Wu was so conscienceless, he would rather buy meat and bones with those silver and feed them to the dogs!

"Oh, you light! Next time, I'll take you with me, okay? Chu Xiaowu was pinched and grinned, afraid that he would really not lend him money, so he hurriedly showed a flattering expression, "Tell you quietly, my little sister is making a good thing called 'intestinal enagement' tonight, and I will definitely bring you tomorrow!" ”

"You two!" General Chu saw that everyone's enthusiasm for dining was not high, so he implemented the method of covering up to people, "The four dishes in front of you, two courses for one person." Also, if you don't eat two bowls of rice per person, don't think about getting off the table. 'Filling the warehouse' means to eat hard with an open stomach, so that the next year can be rich and the grain can be full! ”

Chu Xiaosi and Chu Xiaowu, who were named, saw the four dishes in front of them: a cabbage, a tofu, a radish, and a shredded potato, which couldn't be more vegetarian! They showed complaining expressions, especially Chu Xiaowu, after gnawing a large piece of pig's head meat in the kitchen, and then letting him eat dishes without oil and water, how can he eat it?

Old Man Chu knew that his granddaughter had a small amount of food, but he didn't force her to eat any dishes. She ate two pieces of rice candy, pinched a few slices of apples and honeydew melons from the fruit bowl, then stopped her chopsticks and watched her brothers eat with a smile.

She smiled and said to Chu Xiaowu: "Fifth brother, you can imagine that the roasted radish in front of you is a piece of braised pork, exuding a strong fresh fragrance, fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of oil......"

"Little sister, don't say it! The more I talk about my plate of turnips, the more I can't eat them! Chu Xiaowu stuffed the radish into his mouth bitterly and chewed it lovelessly.

"You imagine, substitute...... People want plums to quench their thirst, you can think about braised pork to quench your cravings! Gu Ye took a small bowl of fruit dumplings and ate them in small bites.

Chu Xiaowu stretched out his chopsticks to the plate of shredded potatoes, his eyes lit up slightly, sour and spicy, although it was a vegetarian dish, the taste was still good. He hurriedly made the first move, pulled the sour and hot potato shredded chop in front of him, and said to Chu Xiaosi: "I will wrap this plate and that radish round, and the rest of the cabbage and tofu are yours!" ”

Chu Xiaosi raised his eyebrows, he wouldn't tell Xiao Wu that idiot that tofu was stewed in chicken broth, and mushrooms were fresh. The vinegared cabbage also suited his appetite. That idiot grabbed those two dishes, let him grab them!

Speaking of which, the vegetarian food on Chinese New Year's Eve every year tastes good this year. At least there are a lot more dishes, what "oyster sauce lettuce", "shiitake mushroom greens", "dry pot eggplant", "three fresh" ...... The taste is actually not bad!

After dinner, Gu Ye hugged the hand stove stuffed by his mother, put on a heavy coat, and walked back to Mingzhu Pavilion. In her boudoir, the earth dragon was burned warm, Gu Ye changed into light cotton pajamas, and lay lazily on the dresser.

"I wonder where Brother Chen's is now? This little Chinese New Year's Eve, he can only spend it alone on the road! According to the speed of the mutant leopard, Gu Ye silently calculated in his heart that if Brother Chen returned to Shengjing, it would take at least three days. At this time, it should be close to the border of the Yan Country, right?

Hua Hao and the full moon glanced at each other, but they didn't answer. They knew that the girl was missing her master. The relationship between the girl and the master is so good, and after only a day of not seeing her, she began to chatter. I think of when the girl was injured, the master was such a noble and cold person, taking care of the bedside without undressing, taking medicine and drinking water without pretending to be someone else's hand. No wonder the girl became more and more dependent on him!

Seeing that the girl was not in a high mood, the tail of the moon swept over something on the table, and said with a smile: "Today, the steward of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion asked people to bring a new object, saying that the master specially asked people to spin it for the girl." The slave is clumsy, and does not know what to do. Girl, you are well-informed, can you tell the slave maid? ”

When Gu Ye heard this, Brother Chen specially asked someone to get it, so he hurriedly raised his head and looked at the item in Yueyuan's hand.

"Yarn balls? How did Brother Dust know that I could knit wool? Gu Ye took the woolen ball and touched it carefully with his hand, it was soft and comfortable, it should be mixed with rabbit hair.

She looked over the table, red, white, black, gray, four colors of thread, filling the table. In addition to the thread ball, there are also wool needles of different thicknesses on the table, and even crochet needles are available!

Gu Ye picked up the crochet needle, closed his eyes and thought about it, and the flying needle hooked a small red and white flower, which was very delicate and beautiful. The full moon has seen the needlework made by the girl, it is really miserable, I didn't expect my girl's hands to be so skillful, with a thread and a crochet needle, to make such a beautiful and novel flower.

The movements in Gu Ye's hands became more and more proficient, and it didn't take long to hook out two identical flowers. She thought about it for a moment and sewed the two woolen flowers onto her cotton slippers. The full moon couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's so beautiful! I didn't expect the girl to have this craft! ”

Gu Ye pursed her lips and smiled, she hooked a few more white snowflake patterns and glued them to the window pane, and suddenly the whole room seemed vivid.

In my previous life, when I was in college, there was a little girl in the dormitory, who was good at knitting sweaters, gloves, scarves, hats, slippers and so on. It's a good idea! She also studied for a while, and she was quite talented.

However, when she encountered a large ice cube in her previous life, it was already a troubled time, and every day was precarious, and her craft was never shown in front of people. I don't know how Brother Chen learned that she could weave, and asked people to send these ......

After thinking about it, Gu Ye picked up two wool needles, chose white rabbit wool, and began to start the needle. She plans to knit a scarf for her mother, with a white bottom and red begonia flowers on it. At first, there were some hands, but gradually I got to feel at ease.

The two maids sat beside the girl with a spring stool, holding their cheeks to watch her fingers jump up and down, two slender bamboo needles flying, and a slender thread can be woven into a unique pattern.

It was late at night, and the full moon rubbed her somewhat sour eyes, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, it's not too early, let's weave it again during the day......"

Gu Ye saw that he had woven a scarf more than two feet long, with well-proportioned stitches and delicate patterns, and he was quite proud in his heart - his craftsmanship was not reduced back then! She turned her neck, put down the yarn needle in her hand, and lay down on the bed after washing up under the service of the maids.

Soon, she fell asleep. In the dream, Brother Chen's clumsily pinched two woolen needles, shed lasagna tears, and knitted a sweater. And she took the little whip and smiled wickedly and supervised on the side...... Hmph, that's the price of saying goodbye!

After waking up the next day, Gu Ye thought of this dream and thought it was very funny! Yes, this time you must not easily spare Brother Chen, so punish him...... Knit a sweater for her! Sweater tutorial, she will send it with the letter!

After breakfast, Gu Ye buried her head and continued to knit the scarf, not delaying her to chat with the two maids: "Full moon, have you sent someone to send the invitation?" ”

"Back to the girl, it's been sent over! In addition to Miss Yuan, Miss Lin, and the county lord of Anya, according to the girl's instructions, they also sent posts to Miss Zhao of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, Miss Sun of the Political Envoy Division's family, and Miss Wei of the Imperial Doctor's family! ”

Yue Yuan also took two sweater needles in his hand and knitted them clumsily. What she knitted was the most basic stitching method that Gu Ye taught her.
