Chuncao asked his brother to net a lot of fish, so he thought about fried fish balls to eat. There is no seasoning here, but there are ginger, garlic and dried chilies, and some orange peel, chopped and put together, and the taste should be good.

Xue Yueyue didn't know anything, so she sat in front of the stove with the eldest girl and watched the spring grass busy.

The fish was still alive in the bucket, and just as Lu Ziqi and Wan Feng came in after carrying the things on the ox cart, Chuncao handed the bucket over, "You two go kill the fish." ”

Lu Ziqi went out with a fish bucket, and Wan Feng had no choice but to go out behind.

Wan Feng held a firewood knife in his hand, squatting next to him and watching Lu Ziqi kill fish seriously, in his past and present lives, he was all about opening his mouth and clothes to stretch out his hands, and he really didn't know how to kill fish.

After watching it twice, Wan Feng felt that he was almost there, so he started it, and it was not very difficult, but the knife was too blunt.

Chuncao instructed Xiaolan to help chop the ginger, garlic and orange peel, and took the killed fish herself, carefully sliced the fish one by one with a knife, and then used a rolling pin to loosen the fish fillets and pick out the thorns inside.

This is a slow and meticulous work, Lu Ziqi Wanfeng killed the fish and came in, and Chuncao only slice a few fish.

Lu Ziqi carefully observed Chuncao's practice, then took over the knife in Chuncao's hand, and Chuncao took a rolling pin to roll out meat and pick thorns.

After picking the thorny fish meat, chop it again, add salt and then mix it in to crush ginger, garlic and orange peel, add a small amount of egg white flour, stir evenly until it can be kneaded into a ball, then heat the oil, and fry the meatballs in the pot.

The fragrance wafted throughout the kitchen, and everyone only swallowed saliva when they smelled it. The skin to be fried is golden on the outside, and the inside is cooked, and you can start the pan.

The first pot was fried, and it was coaxed by several people to finish it, and he was still waiting for the second pot, Chuncao rolled his eyes, is it so greedy?

The fish balls were almost fried in a basket, and Chuncao took the fried crispy pork dumplings and fish balls into a basin and packed them a little, ready to send them to his mother's house, so he left a few people at home and went over with Lu Ziqi.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the ground has been covered with a white layer, and it creaks when you step on it, Lu Ziqi is holding the basin, afraid that Chuncao will fall, so let Chuncao hold himself.

When I arrived at my mother's house, my brother took the iron tongs at the door of the kitchen to brand the hair on the pig's head, and my mother and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen. ”

I heard that I made it myself, and my sister-in-law quickly picked a ball and tasted it, only to praise it, thinking that if this sister-in-law opened a restaurant, this head melon seeds are so flexible, she will definitely be able to make money, but this sister-in-law is really lazy and unwilling.

Chuncao Niang originally left the two of them at home to eat before leaving, but when she heard that there was a group of ancestors at home, it was not good to keep the two of them.

Back at home, the sky was getting dark, the big girl and Xiaolan had already made dinner, the hall was really cold, Chuncao asked Lu Ziqi to burn the kang, and a group of people went directly around the kang to have dinner and rest early.

When she woke up the next morning, Chuncao felt that the window was very bright, so she climbed to the window, pushed open the window, and the outside was covered in silver, white and expansive, Chuncao excitedly shouted, "Wow, it's snowing so hard, it's so beautiful." "In my previous life, I was a southerner, and I rarely had the opportunity to see snow, but I have been here for a few years, and every time I see such a snow-white world, I will be inexplicably excited.

Lu Ziqi scooped the spring grass back into the quilt, "What should I do if I get sick on such a cold day." He took the clothes from the kang and handed them to Chuncao, "Hurry up and put the clothes on." ”

Chuncao pouted and obediently put on her clothes, and Lu Ziqi also took his own clothes and began to wear them.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, several young people, except for Xiaolan, who got up and started to make a fire in the kitchen to boil water, the others were still sleeping.

The water had already been boiled, and Chuncao saw that Xiaolan got up so early, so she said, "In our countryside, there are not so many rules than in a big family, and you don't have to get up so early on such a cold day." ”

Xiaolan said with a smile, "The slaves and maids are used to it, which makes the slaves and maids unable to sleep, so it is better to get up and work and be warmer." ”

The hierarchical concept of this era, Chuncao is not good at saying anything, so he can only wash with water.

After making breakfast, I called a few people to get up, and a few people got up to eat slowly.

After eating, looking at the thick snow in the yard, the spring grass was playful, and they were going to build a snowman, and several girls thought it was interesting and went to join in the fun.

Afraid that a few people would freeze, Lu Ziqi burned the kang, heated the kang on both sides, and found an old iron pot to come out, burned a pot of fire with dry firewood that had not been burned, and put it in the hall, a few people can roast their hands when they are frozen, Chinese New Year's Eve, since a few people are happy, let them toss it.

Wan Feng was afraid of the cold, and there was no kang in the west wing, so he went to the bedroom of Lu Ziqi and Chuncao, directly crooked the two of them on the kang, wrapped them in quilts, opened the window, and watched a few people build snowmen by the edge of the window, Lu Ziqi was very dissatisfied, but it was difficult to say anything.

After playing in the snow all morning, several people built a big snowman in the yard, Lu Ziqi picked up water to fill the water tank, Xiaolan helped make lunch, and a few people who played in the snow entered the house with red hands and faces, Chuncao simply brought the brazier into the bedroom, and a group of people all got into the bedroom, nested on the kang, and brought the food to the kang table, and ate around the kang table.

After lunch, it is the most important Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chuncao first stewed a pig's trotter in the kitchen, and then prepared dumplings, simply moved the materials for dumplings to the kang table, a group of people around the table, chopping stuffing, rolling skin, chatting while making dumplings, so lively.

Yesterday, when I went back to my parents' house, Chuncao Niang packed a few winter cabbages for Chuncao and brought them back, just wrapped dumplings with cabbage and pork filling. Wanfeng Xue Yueyue can't wrap it, and the spring grass wrap is not very good, he was a southerner in his previous life, but he can make dumplings, but he can't wrap dumplings, and this bag of dumplings is also learned in this era.

A few people don't know how to wrap it, so they have all kinds of shapes, and they laugh at each other, and they are quite happy. Xue Yueyue and Wan Feng, who came out of such a big family, felt a different New Year's flavor for the first time, and they were especially happy to smile. For so many years, Lu Ziqi has not experienced this kind of New Year's atmosphere for a long time, and his eyes are also very warm when he looks at Chuncao.

Steamed tofu balls, crispy meat, fish balls, cabbage soup, pig's trotters stewed with radish braised all over the yard, unfortunately there is no marinade, when Chuncao dumplings, he looked at Wan Feng with a look of hatred, and Wan Feng only felt hairy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Chuncao, "Your eyes are terrible, I didn't provoke you, right?" ”

"Hmph, if you don't eat braised meat, it's not all because of you." Haruka opened sullenly.

Wan Feng rolled his eyes, just for this, he had already known that he had pulled a cart over, but now in the Chinese New Year's Eve, the snow is still so thick, and the shopkeeper Zhang is estimated to have gone home for the New Year, and he can't make marinated meat for Chuncao now.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was ready, according to the custom, the ancestors were first called incense, firecrackers were set, and the meal was opened, and there were not so many rules in this country, Xiaolan was also pulled to the table, and several people sat down around the table.

Chuncao asked Lu Ziqi to dig out two jars of wine under the osmanthus tree, one bowl in front of one person, and poured it into each bowl, and Wan Feng's eyes lit up when he smelled it.

Xue Yueyue didn't know what this was, she was very curious.

"This is my own wine." Chuncao explained the confusion of a few people who didn't know, and then picked up the bowl and said, "Happy New Year!" Everyone picked up the bowl and touched it, and couldn't wait to taste it.

"Do you want to cooperate in opening a winery?" After taking a sip, Wan Feng couldn't wait to ask Chuncao.

Chuncao shook her head, "Don't mess with my red wine idea, I'll open a red wine estate next year." ”

Wan Feng didn't lack that money, and seeing that Chuncao also had his own plan, he no longer had the idea of playing red wine, and said with a smile, "Okay, if there is anything you need help with, just ask, how much stock do you still have?" Bring me to Beijing first, and I'll open the market for you first. ”

"Okay, let's eat first, eat and drink well." Chuncao greeted everyone with a smile.

The two altars of red wine will bottom out in a while, they are all young people, and the girls are also some bold, talking and laughing, and finally they have a wine order, and they drank two more altars, a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone ate happily and lively, and everyone drank red faces.

The custom here, Chinese New Year's Eve, is to remove the old and welcome the new, take a bath and change into new clothes, which is intended to wash away the obscurity of the old year and welcome the new year. Then he boiled the water, took a hot bath, changed into new or clean clothes, and began to observe the New Year.

A group of people are bored to guard, so they found paper, made cards, a few people around the kang to play cards, there are two masters, all kinds of playing methods to teach again, and then take the pen and ink, the old color head, lose in the face to draw a stroke, laughter, so lively.

In the middle of the night, when they heard the sound of firecrackers, they went to the courtyard and went back to their rooms to sleep after setting off firecrackers.

Outside, the snow is still fluttering, Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights are not extinguished, oil lamps are lit in every room, in the silent night, in the silver-covered yard, the flickering lights seem to warm this piece of heaven and earth.

Because I slept late the night before, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was already bright, the snow had stopped, and the yard was still quiet, including Xiaolan, who probably drank wine and couldn't get up.

Lu Ziqi woke up, and there was an occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance, and the cattle in the backyard were estimated to be hungry, and sometimes they chirped twice. I looked at the sweet person who was sleeping on his chest, but he was a little reluctant to get up, his heart was full of warmth, since there was spring grass, it seemed that every day had a taste.

Looking at Chuncao's quiet sleepy eyes, white and tender skin, delicate facial features, and some heart, he couldn't help but bow his head and kiss his forehead, and heard a noise outside the yard, Lu Ziqi had to slowly move Chuncao away from his chest, and got up lightly. Lu Ziqi is very resentful, he really wants to drive this group of people away at this time.

Xue Yangyang stood outside the courtyard, the snow reflecting his beautiful face, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world. Xue Yueyue is also very beautiful, but she doesn't have this temperament.

Lu Ziqi went out and saw Xue Yangyang, and he didn't understand why this person was at his door early in the morning, with such a heavy snow, he still walked over. As everyone knows, it's really not that people are early, but that they wait for someone to get up late.

Seeing Lu Ziqi coming over to open the door, Xue Yangyang smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know if Wanfeng and Xue Yueyue are in your house." Lu Ziqi nodded, opened the door and motioned for Xue Yangyang to come in, and found that there was a figure in the distance, moving slowly to this side, and if you look closely, it should be Wanyun, so he didn't close the courtyard door.

Hearing the sound of talking, the others also got up one after another, and the first to come out was Xiaolan, who was stunned when she saw Xue Yangyang, "The slave has seen the young master." After saying hello, she quickly hid in the kitchen, she remembered that she ran away from home with Miss, and Miss hadn't gotten up yet, so she had better hide first.
