Sheng Qingqing twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing what to say about it.

Could it be that the reason why Niu Yu is so miserable is just because he accidentally ate a dish of "mapo tofu" and was spicy?

Sheng Qingqing was a little speechless.

It's not because she cares about the eyes of others, it's just that she's worried about hurting Niu Yu's self-esteem.

After all, being "poisoned" and injured and being spoiled is not a grade at all.

The former can be said to be a hero at best, and the latter is ...... How to say it, how funny!

However, a group of people around her were looking at her "tiger-eyed", not to mention Aunt Niu and Uncle Niu, the two children Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, and even the little civet cat in their arms, all looked at her at this time, waiting for her to explain.

Sheng Qingqing: "......"

No way.

"Brother Xiaoyu, this is eating the wrong thing."

Second Uncle Niu immediately made a serious face, he didn't believe that Sheng Qingqing was deliberately harming Niu Yu, so he only thought that he had eaten something poisonous by mistake.

This happened from time to time in backward times. After all, there are no scientific instruments, and if you want to know whether something can be entered, it is up to the "pioneers" to try. Therefore, people often die because of accidental ingestion.

However, Niu Yu looked much better now, and Second Uncle Niu was not too worried about his safety, and began to wonder what Niu Yu had eaten, and he actually had the kind of reaction just now.

It doesn't look like it's poisoned, but it's similar to the reaction of some people who ate dogwood before.

At this time, I heard Sheng Qingqing say: "Brother Xiaoyu is not used to eating spicy food, so he is spicy." ”

Second Uncle Niu: "......"

The rest: "......"

Because of the dogwood in the dish, it's not that other people don't know what dogwood is.

But because of this, Sheng Qingqing's reason is even more unacceptable.

Everyone knows about dogwood, and even tasted it. But I've never heard that eating dogwood is too spicy, and there will be such an exaggerated reaction?!

For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Niu Yu for a while, looked at Sheng Qingqing for a while, and looked at a few dishes on the table, looking like that, as if they wanted to find out which dish Niu Yu ate before he "ate spicy".

Sheng Qingqing kindly pointed it out to them.

"It's that mapo tofu."

"It's red." Sheng Siming's crisp voice sounded.

Sheng Qingqing felt helpless. It was because of the Chinese New Year that she wanted to ask for an auspicious meaning and make a mapo tofu, which can symbolize a prosperous New Year.

But I didn't expect this to happen.

"That's what happened!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh after listening to her explanation. Even Aunt Niu, who had been calming her face just now, couldn't help laughing.

"Blame me, unlucky." Niu Yu covered his mouth and said aggrievedly.

Who would have thought that it would be so spicy, he hadn't eaten a dish made with dogwood before, and there was no problem. So although Niu Yu smelled a hint of spicy sensation before entering the mouth, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, this pepper is not only redder than dogwood, but also much hotter than dogwood.

Second Uncle Niu laughed, "It's actually a chili pepper, but I haven't heard of it before, is this what the shopkeeper Wan entrusted you to do?" ”

Of course not.

For the shopkeeper Wan, this chili pepper is also a kind of spice, although it is not cherished, but it is impossible to use it directly to make a mapo tofu so luxuriously.

But Sheng Qingqing did not deny it, and even said a little smoothly: "Exactly, this is just one of the things that the shopkeeper Wan explained, but just this matter is already quite energy-consuming." If it weren't for the secret method of ten thousand shopkeepers, I'm afraid there would be no way to grow them alive. Now it's all in my backyard, if the second uncle is interested, you can go and have a look. ”

Second Uncle Niu is really a little interested in chili peppers. Those precious spices are not visible to ordinary people, but before the spices are concocted, they can still be seen in the form of plants.

So he made an appointment with Sheng Qingqing to wait a little later and go to the backyard of the Sheng family to have a look.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Niu Yu's lips that were as red as chili peppers were finally relieved, although there was still a little red, it was normal to look at it.

And they continued to eat in harmony.

Left and right are in the house, and there is a charcoal fire, although after this farce, the dishes on the table are still warm, so the big guy continues the harmonious attitude just now, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, staggering, so lively.

Only Niu Yu looked scared of the spicy mapo tofu, and he was tied up when he ate the vegetables, and every time he ate a dish, he had to ask Sheng Qingqing again, whether he put the chili pepper and how much.

Sheng Qingqing was very helpless, so she could only explain it to him.

In fact, she didn't put much chili, even if it was the mapo tofu, she didn't put much, if ordinary people went to eat it, although it would be a little spicy, it would definitely not be as big as Niu Yu's reaction.

It can only be said that Niu Yu is a person who is naturally afraid of spicy.

However, because of Niu Yu's interesting reaction, it also made this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner more pleasant and interesting. Halfway through eating, even Kong Gaoming began to tease Niu Yu.

The last meal was eaten for two hours.

But fortunately, it can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts. After helping Sheng Qingqing clean up the table, everyone dispersed.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can be eaten together, and such an important thing as keeping the New Year is still only a family, so it is good to do it together.

In the main house of the Sheng family, Sheng Qingqing lit a charcoal fire.

The money that TOEFL earned some time ago, she can be considered to be able to buy a better amount of carbon. Although it is not as good as the charcoal fire used by those rich people, it is much better than the charcoal fire that burned for a while and emitted a lot of smoke.

"Go wash up, the water is boiled." Sheng Qingqing urged.

The two children were well-behaved and clever, and went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash their faces and hands. Sheng Zhizhi was very naughty, and she also pressed the little civet cat Amber, so she had to wash the kitten's face and paws.

"Meow Meow Meow ......"

The little civet cat barked pitifully, but he didn't dare to resist, and he shrunk himself into a ball very aggrieved.

"Okay, the kitten doesn't need to wash its face, it will wash itself." Sheng Qingqing couldn't stand it, and stopped Sheng Zhizhi funny.

Sheng Zhizhi was obviously a little unwilling, but the eldest sister spoke, so she had no choice but to give up.

As soon as the little tanuki escaped from her "claws", she immediately rushed to the main house, hid in the nest, and shrunk herself into a small kitten. In the dim light, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it for a while.

"Hurry up and wash up, wash clean, let's keep the New Year, and we will go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning."

Facing Sheng Zhizhi's aggrieved eyes, Sheng Qingqing said angrily and funny.

Sheng Siming is still more well-behaved, and he doesn't need her to urge, he has already washed his little face and hands at this time, and is waiting on the side.

"It's better to be more obedient." Sheng Qingqing praised.

So Sheng Zhizhi was even more aggrieved.
