Although there were no firecrackers at this time, Liu Chenxing always felt very warm when she watched the bamboo explode in the fire, because she liked this kind of fireworks. And now the New Year, although the excitement of the child is gone, Uncle Liu gave her a set of the most popular Hu clothes worn by Chang'an girls, the combination of red, yellow and green colors is surprisingly coordinated, especially when she changes into this new New Year's dress, Uncle Liu's eyes "My family has a girl who has just grown up" The satisfaction made her deeply feel that she was pampered, and she had a modern dream in this world - a very good family.

Dressed in new clothes to welcome the New Year.

The new year and new atmosphere have arrived, which means that she is one year older, and the provincial test is approaching day by day. Moreover, she likes Chang'an, she likes that Chang'an can be all-encompassing, accommodate foreign religions, accept all kinds of people, and can accommodate a little her, so she wants to stay in Chang'an.

In the past, she worked hard to study the imperial examination in order to live a better life in the feudal dynasty that bound women, and later she was deeply influenced by the idea of "learning and excelling", and also had a political vision to stand in the court, and now she has a clearer goal, she wants to stay in Chang'an.

All the way from the small village to the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is not that she is talented, but she relies on the words "God rewards diligence", so even during the Chinese New Year, she still insists on practicing calligraphy for an hour, and then she is cramming to make up for her essay weaknesses.

Because of the curfew, the Xue brothers and sisters simply stayed during the New Year's Festival, and there were servants Ah Zhong and Ah Zhen brothers and sisters to help with things in the kitchen, Liu Chenxing was also a lot easier, he could complete the daily study tasks according to the quality, and he could also eat and drink with everyone, drink and talk happily, and then go to the street with Xue Yuan to feel the crowding and lively.

During this period, their uncle and nephew also went to the Daci'en Temple located in Jinchangfang in the southern suburbs with the Xue brothers and sisters, looking at the pagoda in the temple faintly a little bit of the shadow of the modern Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Liu Chenxing thought about the location of this place again, and couldn't help but marvel again that there is really a parallel world, although there are differences, but they are amazingly similar.

Uncle Liu is a good guide, and introduced them to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple: "...... The husband of today's saint, the deceased Emperor Gaozong is benevolent and filial, this Great Mercy and Grace Temple is built by Emperor Gaozong in memory of his mother Empress Li, and the pagoda is the period of Emperor Taizong, the Buddhist master presided over the construction, so the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is one of the best temples in Chang'an, the incense is extremely vigorous, and many nobles will come here to incense. ”

The clear and gentle voice comes slowly, and there is a fascinating magic that makes people unconsciously attracted to it.

Xue Yuan, who was not very interested in these Buddhist temple allusions, also looked at Uncle Liu in a daze, listening attentively, not to mention others.

This day is the eleventh day of the first month, this year is mostly a warm winter, the goose feather snow falls to the first day of the new year to stop, the following days have the sun shining high every day, this ten days down, Chang'an thawed from the ice and snow world, between relatives and friends to eat and turn the seat of Chang'an people estimated that they want to eat too well, need to move their muscles and bones, the earth rammed road is dry, and they have to go to the suburbs in the south of the city to walk.

As Uncle Liu said, there are many nobles who come to the Great Ci'en Temple, and as soon as the nobles get up, they are still looking at the people who are fighting for fame for the last time before the exam, so they naturally follow.

The most difficult thing in the world is to ask for people, not to mention that the nobles come to the temple for leisure and worship the Buddha, and the request of the lifters will only make them feel disturbed.

Even because Liu Qingshan and Xue Cheng in their group looked like they were taking the exam, even if they only stayed on the side, they were not given a good face by the family members, which made Liu Qingshan look at Liu Chenxing, who was reluctant to take off his new clothes, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It seems that Ah Xing is still smart, and they know that the white-robed Confucian clothes are going to be disliked, so they wear a bearded suit, it seems that I will wear more bearded clothes given to me by my uncle in the future." ”

One sentence revealed the embarrassment and displeasure of the moment, and You Xing was not disturbed.

This is the charm of Chang'an, Liu Qingshan has only been in Chang'an for three months, even if most of the time he is cramming to make up for his studies, a few banquets and his experience of Chang'an City have made Liu Qingshan a little less youthful than a nineteen-year-old child, and more sleek.

Everyone who comes to Chang'an is growing up unconsciously, but the basic character of a person is still not easy to change, like Liu Chenxing looked at the difficulty of raising his son to ask for people everywhere, she sighed, and she was even more grateful to Cui Yao for letting them attend the banquet of the Prime Minister a few years ago.

Knowing that Cui Yao is everyone's child, she must be very busy during the Chinese New Year, so she delayed her desire to feast, and now that the New Year is about to end, she plans to invite Cui Yao's family to gather.

Liu Chenxing had this plan in his heart, and went back to tell everyone that Xue Cheng was an opportunity idea, especially since he had received great benefits from Cui Yao, so he immediately sent the male servant Ah Zhong to invite Cui Yao to get together.

And where there is Cui Yao, Du Yuanlang has always been indispensable, as for the other two Beizhou Juzi, because the courtyard rented by Uncle Liu is too small, it is not good to invite too many people to get together.

In this way, Cui Yao and Du Yuanlong were invited to visit their home two days later.

Since she wants to thank each other sincerely, Liu Chenxing is not good at letting Ah Zhong and Ah Zhen brothers and sisters take charge, she thinks that she has a modern soul in the end, and it is okay to make a few dishes that are still novel.

In modern times, as a Sichuan person, her biggest preference for food is nothing more than spicy and fragrant, and she wants to innovate dishes this time, of course, Sichuan cuisine is the first choice.

In the Middle Ages, when there were no chili peppers, where did the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine come from?

Answer: Chang'an is a good place, the hemp pepper is sold in the West Market, and the Dogwood West Market, which provides a spicy taste instead of chili pepper, is also sold.

One of the biggest benefits of coming to Chang'an is probably that she found dogwood that can replace chili peppers, and she finally has a spicy taste.

And a group of people gather, eating shabu-shabu is the most lively, and now there are peppercorns and dogwood, which is indispensable to make a spicy hot pot.

Since getting the reply that Cui Yao was coming to the banquet, Liu Chenxing began to prepare hot pot ingredients.

A bowl of dried dogwood is washed and soaked in hot water for an hour, and the four spices that can be bought such as pepper, cinnamon, fennel, and pepper are soaked in hot water for a while.

Then, chop the soaked dogwood and put it on a plate, pour a large bowl of flaxseed oil into the iron pot with a large amount of money, and then green onions, ginger, garlic, bean paste, and butter that can be bought in the West Market if you have money, and of course the chopped dogwood is indispensable together, and it is boiled in the pot like a hodgepodge, and then stir twice with a wooden spoon continuously, so there is no wok and shovel, and you can still fry the material.

After stir-frying for a moment or so, finally add sugar and soaked spices, continue to stir-fry for a while, and the spicy and fragrant simple hot pot ingredients will be baked.

However, the taste of the hot pot material that has just been cooked is slightly light, and it will be fragrant after two days, and two days later, it is the day when Cui Yao and Du Yuanlang come to visit.
