Chapter 56: Chinese New Year

The next day, when Gu Qingcheng was still asleep, there was a burst of fragrance.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn, and it seemed that I slept a little late last night and overslept today.

I got dressed and went out to have a look first, and it was a lively scene.

It is rare that the doors of every house are open, and there are red couplets pasted everywhere on the doors, as well as New Year's pictures, and children are playing in the snow and having snowball fights.

Maybe the adults don't care about them today, so it's a bit of a excuse to play.

Did Gu Tingcheng close the door, went back to the house and lit a fire, just after the fire was lit, the night heavy clouds also got up.

"Happy New Year, lady."

"Well, Happy New Year."

According to the customs here, it is no different from modern times, and it is also the first day of the New Year not to go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, and eat together with several families.

So Gu Qingcheng also got busy, and asked Ye Chongyun to go to the butcher's house in the village to buy pig brains, and then buy half a pig back.

After a while, Chongyun also returned, and half a pig was very large, which was pulled by the butcher with his board cart.

Gu Qingcheng was about to pay, but learned that Ye Chongyun had already paid.

After sending the butcher away, he began to prepare for today's noon meal, and he ate a little for breakfast.

also asked Ye Chongyun to go to Lin Fuzi's house and let Lin Fuzi come over to eat together.

Gu Tingcheng is going to do a little richer at noon today.

She doesn't care what other people's New Year's riches look like, anyway, her family is from modern times.

First stew yam pig bones in a pot, and then stew a pot of chicken, clear soup, the fragrance is very authentic.

Then I made a stir-fried rabbit, braised fish, braised pork ribs, and some small stir-fried dishes, each of which was not much, because I was afraid that there would be too many dishes, and I would not be able to finish it, and it would not be delicious to eat at other times.

So the amount of each item is less, after all, there are only three people, and they have to burn the hot pot.

The ingredients for the hot pot have also been prepared, and the marinated meat slices are in a small basin, because this can't be eaten, and it can continue to be scalded at night, but there is no problem, so I made a little more.

There are also pig brains, there are only five or six, all of which have turned into ice cubes, and Gu Qingcheng's cold water rushes to melt them. Because it's fresher this way.

I also bought fresh Chinese cabbage, which is also a rare dish in winter, and it is just right to scald the hot pot, which is delicious.

Prepare some other side dishes, and when everything is ready, don't make it time to eat.

"It's time to eat." Gu Tingcheng greeted them, the two of them took the chessboard, and Ye Chongyun came to help Gu Tingcheng serve food.

is very positive, Gu Tingcheng's custom-made stove is a square iron furnace of one meter two, which is big enough, but it is full of these dishes.

"So rich, what?" Lin Fuzi asked, but he also knew that Gu Tingcheng had always been more particular about eating.

"It's the New Year." Gu Qingcheng replied sweetly.

"The dishes made by the lady during the New Year, I'm afraid they are all about to catch up with the palace, those people in the imperial city just cook a lot of vegetables, and there are a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, but the taste is so single. It's a waste of ingredients! Any good ingredients have been wasted. ”

Night Chongyun complained about the chef in the palace.

Gu Tingcheng only smiled when she heard it, she wouldn't take it seriously, there were precious ingredients from various countries in the palace, as well as fresh things from all sides, how could it not taste good? Even if it's bad, it's not far off.

It can only be said that Ye Chongyun's appetite has been spoiled by her.

Speaking of Gu Tingcheng's meal, many people in the village drooled.

Although she was a little far from the village, the smell still wafted over, attracting many people to look at it from afar.

They heard that the Gu family girl bought half a pig this morning, how much meat does this cost! I'm afraid I can eat meat for one meal, and I don't need to eat a staple food like Wowotou, I'm really envious.

At most, they will buy a large piece of meat for more than ten catties during the New Year, and a few meals of meat on the table are enough for the family to be happy.

Because of the scent

Some children in the village even ran to the tree not far from the door of Gu Tingcheng's house to play, and they wanted to smell the fragrance more.

When Gu Tingcheng saw it, he went to the house and got some sugar, but he hadn't finished what he had made before. Took a dozen more chicken cakes.

It's all sweet, meaning sweet and sweet.

Then they took it out and gave it to the children, who were so happy that they took the candy and went home.

After lunch, a few people gathered around the fire to read.

There are also a few sweet potatoes burning under the stove

In fact, life is quite comfortable now.

Gu Tingcheng enjoyed it very much.

Don't talk about her, even Ye Chongyun and Lin Fuzi want to live like this every day.

How nice it is to be carefree.

The day passed like this very quickly.

The next day it was time to pay New Year's greetings, and Gu Tingcheng saw that there were many people walking around in the village. There are also many unfamiliar faces, probably some relatives of everyone in the village.

She doesn't have any relatives here, no, she still has, her quirky cheap grandfather.

When the New Year is over, if it's okay, I can go and see him.

There is no snow today, but the snow outside is still very thick, Gu Tingcheng is baking a fire in the house, preparing to go to Lin Fuzi's house for a New Year's greetings later.

After all, he is also his father-in-law, and he still has to go to pay New Year's greetings.

Then he carried a lot of food to Lin Fuzi's house.

Lin Fuzi also prepared a lot of food himself, and he thought that he knew that Gu Tingcheng would come for the New Year.

Of course, it is impossible to let Lin Fuzi cook, so it is still Gu Qingcheng who cooks.

On the third day, the Fang family sisters and brothers actually came to pay her New Year's greetings.

Gu Qingcheng was quite surprised by this, but he still entertained them very warmly, and gave candy to the two little guys.

Although Xiao Shi is more than ten years old, in ancient times, he was not a child, but for Gu Tingcheng, who has modern thoughts, he is still a child.

The two little guys looked at Ye Chongyun and called him brother sweetly.

Gu Qingcheng and a few of them roasted the fire, and they went to prepare for cooking, after all, there were guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, and they couldn't settle down.

The eldest brother of the Fang family was a little restrained sitting by the fire, especially when he saw Ye Chongyun holding a book and looking dignified, he was really embarrassed to sit here.

I just want to go to the kitchen to help Gu Qingcheng.

Ye Chongyun also seemed to see his thoughts, so he stood up by himself, put down the book and went to the kitchen.

"How did you get in?" Gu Qingcheng asked Ye Chongyun.

"I miss you." Ye Chongyun just said dotingly.

"Well, I miss you too." Gu Tingcheng also replied.

Ye Chongyun suddenly felt his heart bloom, with an evil smile on his face, and suddenly hugged Gu Qingcheng with both hands.

Gu Qingcheng was much shorter than him, and he couldn't break away from him.

Some helplessly said

"Let go and cook."

"Okay, I'll help you." Ye Chongyun let go, and helped Gu Qingcheng cook together.

The two of them look warm and harmonious together.
