Jiang Li was silent for a long time, and finally gave up going out, and instead chose to take Fu Yan back to the place where they lived.

has lost the interest of going out for a walk, and forcing himself is definitely not Jiang Li's style.

Today was the first day of business, and he didn't want to make any other trouble.

Never mind.

When Li Jicai and Li Jiye returned home, it was almost three watches.

The hunger in his stomach was extremely high, and Li Jiye regretted it when he thought about it, why should he go home in a hurry? It's better to go back after eating out, and then cook your own food when you get home, which is troublesome.

However, Li Jicai was extremely elated, sweeping away the previous gloom.

She said that today is the first day of the new year, and they should eat dumplings on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but they did not get together, so they must make up for it tonight.

In the future, we will eat dumplings together every year, praying for the safety and prosperity of the whole family.

After Li Jiye heard this, he didn't refute it anymore.

I let her do it, and he was there to assist.

Thinking of a person who sincerely hopes that his family will stay together every year, my heart is full of warmth.

This is a feeling that Li Jiye has never experienced before.

When he lived in the court in Yan Kingdom, his mother was not loved by his father, he was just the product of a night of romance.

Dressed in brocade clothes, every day is not the same, living in a lonely and empty golden cage, the attention of the mother concubine who is looking forward to the arrival of his father is not on him, he can only grow so savage and lonely.

When he was a little older, he was sent to Taifu to read and write with the other brothers.

When everyone told him that he had to be good enough to be loved and noticed by his father.

He did the same, but the result?

It didn't turn out as he imagined, and he still didn't like it, or even was disgusted.

When he found out about this, he didn't pretend anymore, how happy he was every day.

I never care about other people's opinions, and I live a chic life.

Even if he was half dead to death, he didn't change his mind, and lived willfully and recklessly.

Until a coup d'état occurred in the court, he was forced to escape from the palace and live here.

"What's the fuss? Both eyes are straight. Li Jicai was busy working next to the stove for a long time, and asked Li Jiye to help get something, but he ignored him for a long time, and he didn't know what he was doing?

"Huh?" Li Jiye suddenly recovered from his memories and found that he was playing with a plate in his hand.

Li Jicai looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Li Jiye's eyes flickered for a few moments, and then he pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, you say." ”

"What do I say, I'll let you bring me that ginger, right behind you on the windowsill."

"Oh, but I don't like ginger."

"If you don't like it, you have to eat it."

“……”

"The noodles have woken up, let's make the filling first."

"Hmm."

"I'll teach you how to do it first, and then you'll have to learn it yourself. I've already chopped the meat you bought, now put it in a bowl, then add the ginger, add the shallots, add the sugar, the salt and our chili powder, then put some soy sauce, then put some sesame oil, stir them well, and keep them for later use. ”

"Why should I learn? If I marry a good wife and mother, I naturally don't need to cook this, the gentleman cooks, the gentleman cooks, how many times have I told you. ”

"Fart, let your wife do all the housework, so your wife won't be tired to death?"

"It's been like this since ancient times, no one has called me into the kitchen like you, and I've done that."

"If you don't want to do it, don't eat it, a hard work, a harvest, you want to eat white food all day long, how can there be such a cheap good thing." Li Jicai was a little anxious and impetuous.

Li Jiye paused for a moment when he heard his angry words, and then looked at her with a little caution and confusion and said, "Lunar matter? ”

Only during this special period will Li Jicai be extremely anxious, and she will be anxious when she speaks and does things, which makes people feel that she is very impatient.

When Li Jicai heard him say this, he threw a spatula directly. Li Jiye hurriedly caught it.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding, you keep talking, keep saying okay, don't make trouble." Li Jiye's tone was coaxing and conniving.

He's listened to her all the time, right? There is no one in this world who can make him treat others like Li Jicai.

They are both brother and sister, and they may have something else.

"Crack it in a bowl, let's use five or six eggs this time, and then do you see? Fry them, break them up and then process the leeks, wash the leeks, drain them, and chop them. Finally, mix the eggs, leeks and meat filling together so that the filling is ready. ”

"It's so complicated."

"Complicated, what's complicated? It's not complicated at all, you study hard. ”

"Okay, you're right."

"The noodles are already awake, you wash your hands first, and then we will make dumplings."

"When did you learn the craft of making dumplings, why don't I know?" After all, in Li Jiye's eyes, Li Jicai's cooking skills are like falling from the sky, and it is inexplicable and incredible.

When he was at home, he didn't see Mrs. Fan teach her anything, but it seemed like Li Jicai had figured it out by himself.

"Life is full of learning, and this is what I learned from others."

"Oh."

By the time Li Jicai tossed out the dumplings and wrapped them in the pot to cook, it was already the third watch day later.

Because the dough is rolled out, the size of the dough is different, and the size of the dumplings is also different.

The only hope that Li Jicai hopes is that the dumplings made by Li Jiye will not leak in the pot.

However, it is understandable that he is making dumplings for the first time.

Li Jiye has regretted resisting from the previous one to now, and now he also thinks that making dumplings is quite interesting.

The New Year should have the appearance of the New Year.

"Why didn't I see you posting Spring Festival couplets when I came in? The doors of every house for the Chinese New Year are posted red, why don't we have them? ”

During the time when the dumplings were waiting to be cooked, Li Jicai and Li Jiye both sat on small benches.

The dim candle flame shook slightly, and the room became warm because of the cooking dumplings, and the heat drove away the cold.

Li Jicai suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Jiye and said with a frown.

"It's not that you're not there, and the family is not a family, and I don't know when you'll be back, or if you were told you to come back temporarily, so I didn't have time, it's okay, I'll buy it tomorrow morning."

It turned out to be a family of four, three people and a dog, and now there are only two of them left. I'm afraid of touching Li Jicai's sadness, so I will make up for it a little and go to ** Lian to come back tomorrow.

"Buy? I'm going to buy red paper tomorrow morning, and you'll write it down for me when you come back, and then the two of us will stick it up together. ”

"Huh? I wrote it myself? That's a nuisance. ”

"Well, why don't I, I'll invite Xi Zien over too, just make a delicious meal tomorrow to celebrate, and I've successfully come out of prison."

"Then, do you want to invite Master Qi?"

"Not please."

"Are the dumplings ready?" He was really starving to death, and although it was interesting to be busy so far, he hadn't eaten much today, and his legs were already weak from hunger.

When I'm on the street during the day, it's good to buy two cakes to cushion the mat, hey, but I was thinking about Li Jicai at the time, so I forgot about it.

"You open the lid of the pot first, if all the dumplings float up, it is cooked. I'll go get two vinegar dishes first. "If you don't eat dumplings with vinegar, it's simply soulless, for Li Jicai.

"Oh." Li Jiye obediently walked to the stove, and then reached out to lift the lid of the pot.

I made a subconscious move, but immediately retracted.

This pot lid is too hot! Li Jiye gasped when he was hot.

"Are you a pig? Are you a pig? Don't you see the wet rag on the lid of the pot? Li Jicai complained without hesitation.

"You are the only one who dares to be so fierce to me, you know my current status, I tell you that I ......"

Li Jiye just wanted to solemnly announce that he had been promoted recently, and what position he held in the Hanlin Academy.

Li Jicai had already walked away impatiently, she went outside and moved a small boxy table in.

It turned out that this small table was used to store miscellaneous items outside.

But it's freezing outside, it's too cold, don't go to the living room to eat, the kitchen is extremely warm, hot, Li Jicai can't sleep here at night.

Maybe you can really sleep on the hay with the quilt and sleep in front of the stove.

Li Jiye, who was swept away by Li Jicai, could only touch his nose, and then silently walked to the side to wash his hands, and then took two large bowls to serve dumplings.

They used to eat dumplings, but they bought them from outside.

Because Li Jicai is very busy with business, he has no time to do this.

However, what Li Jiye remembers is that Li Jicai likes to drink soup when he eats dumplings and likes to dip in vinegar.

Compared with Li Jicai's taste, Li Jiye felt that his taste was much lighter.

She has always eaten with a heavy taste, and her style of acting is the same as her taste, which is also spicy and bold.

He felt that Li Jicai was not at all like she said, he used to be a maid in a big family.

She looks like a maid.

If she has secrets, he has secrets.

So are they flattened?

If the secret is revealed, what will Li Jicai think of him? Will there be any change in their relationship?

Are they still a family?

Li Jiye felt a little unthinkable, for three years, the name Yan Chengli, a name he deliberately ignored, has appeared frequently in his mind recently.

It made him feel a faint sense of instability, maybe it was that he was thinking too much.

If this day really comes, Li Jiye is unprecedented, and some want it to come more slowly.

After all, it has been four years since he was in the Chu State, and he has successfully participated in the imperial examination, and he has grown into a man who stands up to the sky.

In this case, there is really no need to return to Yan Kingdom.
