Chapter 419: Lantern Festival
"Look at the light over there, let's go over and take a closer look."
Liu Yan shook his head: "My feet are very sore, I'll rest first." ”
Wu Xiaohui is as good as flowing: "Then I will rest too." ”
Princess Fuyu held a lantern festival in her house, inviting all her relatives and friends, which was lively and not too messy.
Liu Yan originally persuaded her not to do it, after all, the cost was not small. Princess Fuyu smiled and said, "It doesn't cost much. Most of those lanterns are old, so people can clean them up and renovate and repair them, and they don't really look out when they are lit at night anyway. The fireworks will not be released this year, and the lamp oil and candles used are made together by some relatives, and a family of ten catties is nothing. I'm just going to make some people, and then buy some wine, food and pastries, and everyone will get together and have fun. ”
The eldest sister is really good at handling, and the cost of this Lantern Festival is really not big, and it is very lively and chic.
Where's the chic?
There was no banquet and singing today, and the eldest sister made the people in the house wear the clothes of the people outside, and made carts, burdens, sheds, and banners according to the appearance of the little traders outside, and sold them by the roadside of the garden.
What is out there, they have it here.
Right now, Liu Yan and Wu Xiaohui are sitting in front of a stall selling Lantern Festival, a small bench - even the bench looks exactly the same as the outside, it is made of rough wood planing and planing, all the fir tenons are used, and a nail is useless.
Standing behind the Lantern Festival stall was a fat cook, who asked with a smile: "What kind of stuffing do the two girls want?" ”
Wu Xiaohui hasn't been to the market for a long time, and the smile on her face hasn't stopped today.
"What do you have here?"
"Hey, my Lantern Festival here has a thin skin and big filling, and it tastes good. There are bean paste, hawthorn, osmanthus sesame, rose brown sugar, if the girl is not too expensive, I still have fresh meat and ham here. ”
"I want a bowl of fresh meat and ham." Wu Xiaohui turned his head and asked Liu Yan: "What about you?" ”
"Bean paste." Liu Yan had dinner in Yilan Hall before leaving the palace, and there were meatballs that she liked very much for dinner, and she ate several, and she wanted to eat something sweet at this time: "Give me an extra spoonful of soup." ”
The fat cook answered: "Okay, girls, wait a while, it'll be fine immediately." ”
They sat at the small table and waited, the fat cook lifted the lid of the pot, and the white and round Lantern Festival was tumbling and rolling in the pot. Wu Xiaohui whispered, "I thought you wouldn't be able to come today." ”
"How come, big sister has such a good lantern festival, I have to regret it for a year if I miss it - why do you think I won't come?"
"I heard a few days ago," Wu Xiaohui leaned over and bit her ear: "said that you were drunk and reprimanded by your mother." ”
"No," Liu Yan waved his hand: "Don't believe those rumors." ”
"That said, I don't really believe it, how can you get drunk."
Speaking kung fu, their Lantern Festival has been served, and there are only four in a bowl, which is chubby and makes people very appetizing at first glance.
Wu Xiaohui asked the fat cook with a smile: "Boss, you are not honest in business, there are only four rice balls in a bowl, how can this fill your stomach?" Why don't you give two more? ”
The fat cook explained: "The girl doesn't know, although the Lantern Festival is sweet and soft, the old and the young love to eat, but it is sticky, if you eat too much at night, it will be difficult to restrain it, it will accumulate food, the girls taste it, you can't eat this as a meal." ”
This must have been ordered by the eldest sister, and she has always been so thoughtful and attentive, and she is thorough in all aspects.
Wu Xiaohui exchanged one of his own Lantern Festivals for Liu Yan's Lantern Festival with bean paste filling. Liu Yan took a sip of hot soup first.
I turned around and looked at the lamp for a long time outside, even though I wore it thickly, I also breathed a lot of cool air between my breathing. After such a mouthful of hot soup, I felt that my body was warm.
"Actually, it's not all rumors."
"Huh?" Wu Xiaohui held the Lantern Festival in her mouth, and didn't remember what she meant for a while, and only after she swallowed the Lantern Festival did she connect what the two people said just now.
"Isn't that a rumor? You've really been trained by your mother? ”
"No, the first half is true, the second half is not."
"What about you...... Are you really drunk? Wu Xiaohui didn't believe it: "Where did you drink?" How much did you drink? ”
"I didn't drink much, I didn't expect to get drunk." Liu Yan didn't want to say much about this, Wu Xiaohui was so curious, and asked the bottom of the question: "What kind of good wine are you drinking?" I've heard of someone who has aged wine at home, and has been hiding it in the cellar for decades, and the wine is so strong that a drop can be intoxicating, did you drink that? Is it delicious? ”
If he was really drunk with old wine, Liu Yan felt better. The problem is that she was drunk with two sips of rice wine and fruit wine, which she was embarrassed to say, Wu Xiaohui asked tightly, so she dealt with it vaguely: "It's not very delicious, you must not learn from me, you are drunk and uncomfortable." ”
"I know, I've been drunk too."
"Huh?" Liu Yan really doesn't know: "When did you get drunk?" ”
"The year before last...... Well, it should have been the year before last. Wu Xiaohui was about to speak, and told Liu Yan: "I told you, you are not allowed to tell others." ”
"Don't worry, I won't say it."
"I want to practice drinking...... Wu Xiaohui was also a little embarrassed: "When I was talking with my second brother, he always squeezed me, so I thought that it would be no big deal to drink, and I may not be as good as her." So I quietly asked the maid to get a jar of wine, for fear that people would see it, so I drank it alone in the house while I was bathing. ”
Liu Yan couldn't help but smile and asked, "How much have you drunk?" You're not going to drink all of them, are you? ”
"I can't remember how much I drank, anyway...... At least I had to drink a few bowls, I don't know what happened later, my mother said that when they found out, I also soaked in water, and the wine jar was also soaked in water, and the whole house was full of wine, and they almost fainted with wine when they pushed the door. ”
"Aunt didn't train you?"
"Not to mention the training, but also a beating." Wu Xiaohui remembered the beating and still had palpitations: "But I don't blame my mother, I was too drunk at the time, and if I was unlucky, I might drown in the bathtub, or simply get drunk." After that, I didn't dare to drink alcohol, and it didn't taste very good, and I suffered after drinking. ”
"It's true," it was really uncomfortable after being drunk, and it took two or three days for Liu Yan to really recover.
After the two of them finished eating a bowl of Lantern Festival, Liu Yan also deliberately took out his purse and asked, "How much?" ”
Since you want to do the same thing as the market outside, of course you have to pay for food.
The fat cook wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Ten wen for bean paste, twenty wen for ham." ”
Liu Yan took out the money from her purse and counted it to her - this money was specially stuffed to her by her eldest sister when she entered the garden, and a large bag of copper coins was enough for her to spend.
