Chapter 84: Fireside Chat

The meal on the thirtieth night was naturally hearty, and the tiger meat was cut in half and served on the table, but unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, despite the careful cooking of the kitchen leader Zhang Damiang, the tiger meat was still disappointing, it was not as delicious as imagined, the meat was rough, there was no wild boar meat was smooth, no pheasant meat was tender, and it was more fat than mutton, Yunxi couldn't eat it after only a few bites.

After the venison is stewed with pepper and tangerine peel and other spices, the soaked wild mushrooms are added, which is very tender and delicious, and the soup is also very delicious. Delicious nature is not only this, but although there are many delicacies, the stomach is too small, so I can only endure the pain and watch others feast.

After eating, Ye Yuan gave out red envelopes, so that the people scattered, leaving only a few members of the Ye family to fight in the Lin family and Ye Yuan's house. According to the custom of previous years, it was supposed to be in the main hall to keep the New Year, but considering that the Lin family was pregnant, the family came to the Lin family's house.

The charcoal basin was moved to the edge of the collapse, the upper collapse was collapsed, the stool of the stool, the charcoal basin was surrounded, and the family sat affectionately to keep the New Year.

Yun Kai sat down and said, "Daddy, send me a red envelope too." ”

Lin said with a smile: "There is no red envelope, but the New Year's money is ready, as long as you can wait until the time is over, I will allow you to send it, if you can't wait and fall asleep, this New Year's money...... I won't post it. ”

"I'll be able to wait." Yun Kai patted his small chest and swore an oath.

Yunxiao smiled: "I don't know who last year, I fell asleep before I arrived." ”

"It's definitely not me, it's the second sister, right?" Yun Kai pretended to be stunned, "Right, second sister, it must be you?" ”

Yunxi naturally didn't know if she had waited or not, and she hadn't come at that time, but she still said firmly: "I must have waited, unlike you, I went to bed early." ”

"Really?" Yun Kai doubted, "Anyway, I will definitely be able to wait this year, I am a year older, and I am better than last year." Isn't that right, Dad? ”

The last sentence was said to Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan looked at this with a smile, looked at that, and said to Lin with a smile: "Xuan Niang, look, have the four children grown a lot taller?" ”

Lin smiled, "Needless to say, it's all small, how can you not grow a head?" It's Yunjin, I think it's two years old! ”

"Yes, Yunjin is only 13, and he can grow for two years." Ye Yuandao.

Yunxi looked at Yunjin, and visually estimated that my sister is now about 1.58 meters, which is not low in this era, and it will be longer next year, more than 1.6 meters will not be a problem, and it can be regarded as a slender figure.

Look at yourself again, it is just a little more than one meter, it is definitely low in modern times, just this, among girls of the same age in the village, she is still tall, but thinking about her height of one meter six or five in her previous life, Yunxi is really worried that she will not grow so tall. No, even if you don't learn martial arts, yoga has to be picked up again, and now you're lazy, and you should be depressed if you grow low in the future, especially in ancient times, clothes are generally long, and you can't stand up if you're not tall!

The people are on holiday, and the work of boiling tea falls on the head of Yun Jin, first boiling water, making a roselle tea for Lin's, and ordering tea for Ye Yuan, which is different from the sencha of the Tang Dynasty, modern brewing, and this time the tea method is used. At this time, the tea is powdered, put it in the cup, add hot water, blow with a tea whisk, so that the tea powder is evenly distributed in the water, and then drink the tea soup.

Yunxi tasted it curiously, the tea tasted good, but the taste of the powder was not very good, and he hoped that His Majesty the Emperor Tongren would develop a new tea method as soon as possible. Roughly estimated, this big man has been here for more than ten years, this ancient transportation is inconvenient, the spread of culture is extremely slow, and maybe there are already new methods in the capital, but they have not yet become popular. It's a pity that the distance is too far to appreciate the majesty of the official family up close, if you can move the capital to Youzhou, it's almost the same, think about it, it's really possible, the Forbidden City is definitely a treasure of feng shui, otherwise it can be favored by so many generations of emperors?

After serving the two elders, it was Yunxi's turn to make hawthorn tea, and the dinner was hearty at night, and Yunxi was not the only one who ate too much.

After drinking too much water, he inevitably had to run to the thatched house, and after going to the thatched house, Yunxi stopped and looked up at the sky. I remembered a poem I once read.

"I look up at the stars,

It's so vast and deep;

The infinite truth,

Let me beg hard to follow.

……”

Yunxi looked up at the starry night sky, without the poet's thinking about truth, justice, freedom, and fraternity, nor did she care about the common destiny of the country, the nation, and mankind, she only felt that the starry sky was so mysterious and dreamy, like a magnet that firmly attracted her gaze, and she didn't know where she was in a trance.

Is it Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, or is it Butterfly's dream Zhuang Zhou? Past and present lives, which one is true? Is that a fantasy? Will you wake up tomorrow morning and be in your own cot in your rental house again?

"Yunxi, what are you looking at stupidly, come in quickly, and you want to be cold?"

A shout pulled the fluttering Yunxi back to the world, it was Yunjin, she was always like this, the knife mouth was tofu heart, obviously she cared about people, but it turned bad in her mouth.

"Got it!"

Yunxi said yes and walked into the house quickly.

Outside the house, it was cold and snowy, and the house was as warm as spring, and the black charcoal was burning, releasing a red light, accompanied by the warm and coaxing heat, and the family sat in a circle. Hearing Yunxi coming in, they all raised their eyes to look at her.

Yun Kai said with a smile: "Second sister, why did you go to a thatched house for so long, I have eaten all the baked steamed buns, hehe!" ”

"Ah, how can this be." Yunxi pretended to wail, causing Yunkai to laugh and be proud, as if he had taken advantage of a big advantage.

"Alas!" Yunxi looked helpless, picked up a new bun piece, and sighed: "No way, sister, I have to go into battle in person and be self-reliant." ”

Lin joked: "Good girl, bake two slices for your mother to taste." ”

"Order, mother rest assured, guarantee to complete the task." Yunxi shouted and agreed. The strange tone made Yun Jin want to give her a brain break, but Yun Xitou dodged it, "Sister, do I understand this Caiyi Entertainment?" ”

Yun Jin gave her a roll of the eyes and said with a smile: "If you are reasonable, spare your life for the time being." ”

"Thank you so little sister here." Yunxi bowed solemnly, and Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh with a "poof".

Put the bun slices on the iron shelf and turn them over from time to time, and after a while, both sides will be golden brown. Yunxi handed Lin a piece first, then Ye Yuan, and the last one for himself, but Yun Kai snatched it away quickly, looking at her and smiling. Yunxi thought it was funny, where would he be like him, but he still pretended to chase after him, causing him to move away from the stool and run away, and when he finished eating three or two bites, he came back with a hippie smile.

"Dad, you just watched us bake and eat, didn't you think about playing some elegant? As the saying goes, 'red clay small stove, green ant new brew', shouldn't you have a drink at this time? ”

"You think I don't want to," Ye Yuan complained: "Your mother can't smell the smell of alcohol!" ”

"Oh! Then don't drink it. ”

Lin's pregnancy is not easy, all kinds of things are piled together, and now she is the key protection object of the family, and she doesn't dare to be sloppy in food, clothing, housing and transportation, for fear that the child in her belly will not be good.

The long night is long, there is nothing to sit idle, and there is no Spring Festival Gala to watch, it is very suitable for Yunxi to tell ghost stories, but because of the Lin family, this idea still can't work. The family had to roast steamed buns and roasted peanuts, and finally Ye Yuan went to the kitchen to cut some pieces of venison to roast and eat, and the good New Year's Eve became a barbecue meeting.
