Bai Tang sat at home, and the New Year's gift was delivered to the door.

At the end of the year, Bai Tang had already prepared a few New Year's gifts. Dafang, Qin's family, and several well-connected shops in the neighborhood also prepared some things. As for Xu Qiu'an, Bai Tang automatically ignored him.

While sorting out the New Year's goods, Bai Lan asked puzzledly: "Why don't you prepare a New Year's gift for Xu Sanye?" ”

"The door of the Duke of Wei is too high." Bai Tang shook his head. "Our family is poor and can't afford to send it!"

Bai Lan sneered: "Third Master Xu was so angry when he heard it. ”

Unexpectedly, his family's New Year's gift has not been sent out, but the Duke of Wei has given the gift first.

Bai Tang looked at a carriage of satin cloth and pearl and jade ornaments. Just wondering when Xu Qiu'an became so generous and had to return the gift, when it was really troublesome, the steward who gave the New Year's gift bowed down and smiled: "My grandfather said that the third master has been promoted to an official." It all depends on your usual earnest teachings to the third master. Therefore, I prepared a little courtesy, and I hope that Lian Gongzi will not push back. ”

Bai Tang's clear phoenix eyes were filled with dazed confusion, and there was a hint of fright: "Me? How can I teach your third master?! ”

And the teachings!

No merit, no retribution, Bai Tang wants to make his words clear.

"You're welcome." The steward smiled and kept changing, turned his head to the little guy next to him and said, "Don't help carry things in yet." ”

"It's not-" Bai Tang saw that he couldn't stop the enthusiastic servants of the Duke of Wei from jumping left and right at home, so he had to give up, thinking that it would be okay to meet Qiu An another day and ask for clarification.

However, I don't want to return the courtesy!

This stinky boy is the same generation as himself, and he doesn't seem to have cooperation with the Qin family, and he always digs pits for himself to find trouble, why should he give him a New Year's gift? Hum!

Wei Guogong was very interesting, and in addition to sending a lot of daily necessities, he also sent a large basket of red, red, white and white beef and mutton that was frozen.

"Burn the pot, burn the pot!" In the Ming Dynasty, Baitang was tired of eating chicken, duck and pork. The joyful shouted in the courtyard, "Bailan, cut the meat." Our family eats a warm pot tonight! ”

Bai Lan obeyed the command and sliced the frozen meat thinly. Two large pots were piled high. Su Shi cut two large pork bones with fat, added a large spoonful of lard, boiled a pot of fragrant snow-white soup base, and took out some of the fish balls and meatballs that Bai Lan had made before for later use.

Bai Tang smelled the fragrance and was in a good mood.

"Lian Baitang, you will enjoy it. Taking my benefits, Sensei wants to eat alone! ”

Bai Tang's face turned dark: Xu Qiu'an! He's coming fast!

Joan was draped in a scarlet drape around her shiny black fur scarf. Straight as pine, handsome and uncast. Behind is a small servant, carrying a basket of fish, shrimp and seafood.

Bai Tang turned from anger to joy: "Even if you know each other, you know how to bring dry goods when you eat!" ”

"Yuanqu, send it to the kitchen, let Miss Lian take care of these seafoods."

Bai Tang almost jumped up and shouted: "Bai Lan hasn't touched these things, I'm coming, I'm coming!" ”

Qiu An was shocked: "You still cook?" These shrimps and crabs are hard to serve. ”

Bai Tang didn't care about the cold, and with great interest, he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a big flower crab and said: "Prismatic crab, the shell is cracked and steamed with green onion and ginger!"

"Green shrimp, it's a pity it's not river shrimp, it's okay, let you taste a fresh dish today!"

"Good squid! It has to be long enough. Bai Tang has lost all the cold demeanor of his graceful demeanor, and his eyes are shining with starlight: God knows how long he hasn't eaten seafood! Just for this basket of rare seafood, he didn't care about Xu San.

Since Qiu An is here, Bai Tang smiled at him and said, "Trouble your little guy to go to the Qin Mansion." Call Qin Jian, today my son invites you to eat a warm pot! ”

Qiu An muttered: "Why is he cheap!" Glancing at Yuan Qu, "Go, tell him that if you want to eat, learn from your master, you have to bring some dry goods!" ”

Yuan Qu smiled awkwardly and took the order.

Not long after, Qin Jian stepped into the small courtyard wearing a silver-purple cloak. Bai Lan's gaze involuntarily fixed on him through the kitchen window: a good gray squirrel hair scarf, a little purple on the tip of the hair is similar to the pattern on his shirt, a gentleman like jade, gentle and square.

Qin Jian said with a clear laugh: "Xu San, I brought a lot of dry goods!" ”

Bai Tang is processing seafood with Bai Lan Su in the kitchen, peeling shrimp and cutting line, Bai Tang has great strength, and chops the shrimp into puree. Hearing this, he wiped his hands and said, "Take a look." ”

"I asked you to bring dry goods, you really brought dry goods!" Joan laughed in the courtyard.

Qin Jian was puzzled: "Isn't it right?" ”

Bai Tang sneered. Xu San's ability to understand the meaning of "dry goods" in his mouth is also quite subtle. He squatted down and looked through the dry goods of the True Sect brought by Qin Jian. "These mountain goods came at the right time. And dried scallops? Dried abalone? Wonderful! Wonderful. It's too late to soak today, please eat dried scallops in soup and abalone in chicken sauce another day! ”

Qin Jian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qiu An, and said proudly: "It's still Bai Tang who knows the goods." He picked up a yellow mud wine jar, "To eat seafood, you still have to go with rice wine." ”

Bai Tang swallowed his saliva. It's time for today.

"Yuanqu said to eat a warm pot. So I brought some charcoal with me. Qin Jian was followed by the scholar Pinyu, carrying a load of things.

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Qiu An chirped: "Count you smart." ”

"Gongzi Qin, Third Master Xu, go to the house and drink some hot tea. Warm the pan for a while. Su Shi smiled and came out to greet the guests, "Bai Tang, come and help my mother take a look, how do you get those squid?" ”

Bai Tang answered, carrying a basket of precious dry goods, and said to Su Shi: "Earned, earned." These dry goods sent by Qin Jian are rare! ”

Su Shi glared at him: "There will be two pots later." Be careful, don't get drunk! ”

Bai Tang knew what she was worried about, and said with a smile: "I know the measure. ”

Bai Lan picked some mountain mushroom soaks brought by Qin Jian, cut them and sprinkled them in the pork bone soup. The squid has been dipped in seasoned flour and marinated. The crab is steamed in a steamer. The rich smell of seafood in the kitchen makes the mouth water secretion luxuriant.

The fragrance wafted to the nose of the store manager in front of him, and he couldn't sit still. The whole steward is old, and Su Shi doesn't care too much, so after burning the pot, he invited him and Wan Niang to enjoy it together, and he was so happy that the whole steward had a straight beard.

Bai Tang's study has two tables on the square couch, and a pot of snow-white bone broth is tumbling on the golden charcoal. The thinly sliced meat is cooked as soon as it is scalded in the pan. It's fragrant, tender and delicious. As soon as the pink shrimp slipped into his mouth, Qiu An shouted: "I always hate the fishy shrimp, this way to eat is wonderful!" I asked the cook to do the same. ”

Qin Jian tasted the steamed pike crab, and the cracked shell could remove the meat with a little force, and praised: "The meat is fresh and sweet." This is a live crab, which is rare. ”

Qiu An said proudly: "I snatched it from the imperial dining room." There are only a few of them. ”

The father-in-law in the imperial dining room wanted to cry without tears.

Bai Tang didn't say a word, just ate it himself. He didn't know how many crabs he had eaten in his previous life, and he was easy to peel off the shells, and after a while, he was full of crab shells in front of the case, and Xu Qin and the two were dumbfounded: It's really delicious!

Bai Lan sent the fried squid and put it in front of Qin Jian with a smile: "This is the taste of my brother's tune, Childe taste it." ”

Qin Jian would be polite when he smelled that fragrance? The squid must be full of toughness, fresh and juicy, Qin Jian was born in Jiangnan, has eaten countless delicacies, and it is the first time to taste such a novel and delicious seafood. Full of praise: "Your brother has adjusted a lot of ingredients, and you have a good grasp of the heat!" ”

Bai Lan pursed her lips and smiled, and with a slightly red face, she changed the hot water for them before leaving.

Qiu An gnawed on the crab legs, the corners of his mouth were lightly picked throughout the whole process, and he gave Bai Tang a look.

Bai Tang didn't realize it, poured rice wine and the two of them: "Today's small banquet can be regarded as me and Xu San seeing off Brother Qin." ”

Qiu An Weileng: "Are you going back to Suzhou?" ”
