Chapter 400: Celebrating the New Year
"Get out of here, such a big girl, she doesn't help with the work, and she steals vegetables to eat here. ”
Lu's mother finally couldn't see Lu Xiaowan's behavior, and began to make a statement to drive her out of the kitchen.
Lu Xiaowan stuck out her tongue at her mother, and quickly took a fish steak from the pot where the fish pieces were fried, turned around and slipped out.
was so angry that Lu's mother wanted to pick up the rolling pin in her hand and beat her, but she was almost eighteen years old, and she was still like a child.
Xiaoxi, a snack seller, saw that her aunt took a piece of fish steak outside to tempt her, and smelled the rich aroma of fried fish, and couldn't help but salivate.
Walking on his short legs, he staggered into the kitchen, biting his fingers with his mouth, looking at his grandmother with big eyes, and shouting in a milky voice: "Grandma, I also want to eat fried fish pieces." ”
Mother Lu looked at the well-behaved and lovely Xiaoxi, couldn't help but smile on her face, quickly put down the rolling pin in her hand, wiped the flour on her hand with a scarf, walked to the basin where the fried fish and meat were shelved, and picked the largest piece of hairtail fish for her.
Mother Lu instructed: "Little girl, be careful when eating, you can't eat the fish bones like before, and spit them out, otherwise your throat will hurt." ”
The fried fish pieces at home are made of large fish cut pieces selected from the inner sea of Xiandao in the square pot, wrapped in egg flour on the outside, fried golden brown in fragrant sesame oil, and then scooped up and sprinkled with five-spice powder carefully blended by Lu Yao, the taste is simply amazing.
Because the fish pieces are not removed from the bones, they are crispy and can be chewed directly after being fried in the oil pan, and the taste is quite good.
In the past, Xiaoxi liked to eat this kind of fried fish without spitting out fish bones, but once there was a thick fish bone that was not chewed, and when she swallowed it, it stuck in the master's throat and hurt her for a long time.
Therefore, Lu's mother specially told her to be mindful and not to be too sloppy.
Xiaoxi responded sweetly: "Grandma, I know, I'll be careful." ”
Mother Lu smiled: "Really good, go and call your brother and brother and Aunt Xinyu to eat together." ”
Xiao Xi went out with the spiced fried fish pieces, and soon walked in with a few other children.
This time, it was not just fried fish pieces in front of them, but a variety of fried foods arranged in a row for them to eat.
Lu Yao chopped the dumpling filling next to him, and after seeing it, he said with concern: "You guys can eat a little less and taste the taste." Today, I made all kinds of delicious things, and it would be a pity not to be able to eat after a while. ”
"Got it!" the four children replied in unison, each with their eyes rolling and dripping, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the kitchen full of all kinds of delicious things.
Although the food they usually eat is also very good, it has never been as complete as today's, and basically more than half of it is their favorite food.
Lu Yao is not afraid that he will not be able to finish eating too many dishes, there is now a big stomach king Shi Meng at home, and one can at least be worth five of them.
Today, Lu Mu and Lu Xuemei have been making all kinds of dumplings all morning, including beef filling, mutton filling, cabbage pork, and mackerel filling, and each dumpling is full of fillings.
Miao Xingde used all his skills today, and he started to be busy before dawn at more than six o'clock in the morning, fortunately there was a tireless Shi Meng who gave him a hand, otherwise he would not be able to make such a big table of forty or fifty dishes by himself.
Although Shi Meng's brain is not good, he is very diligent and upright, and some complicated things may not be done well if he is handed over to him, but simple jobs such as chopping vegetables, as long as he has seen it once, it is better than what Miao Xingde does.
The shredded potatoes cut by Shi Meng were as thin as a hair, and each one was exactly the same size, which made Miao Xingde shocked.
Miao Xingde said that Shi Meng's knife work is very good and suitable for carving. But he took a carrot and taught him to carve a peony flower, but Shi Meng couldn't learn anything, and in the end Miao Xingde himself had no choice but to give up.
After a few months of getting along, Lu Yao's family basically treated Shi Meng as his own family, and Lu's father wanted to say that he would accept him as his godson, but Shi Meng disagreed, saying that the boss was the boss, and he didn't want to change his name to the eldest brother.
Lu Yao knew that he had a tendon in his brain, so he let him go. After these few months of training, Shi Meng's cultivation talent has been fully revealed, and he has stepped from a yellow-level martial artist to a Xuan-level martial artist.
Although it was said that there was the effect of Pei Yuan Dan given by Lu Yao, it was still much faster than Lin Songsheng, who was cultivating with him.
Lin Songsheng is only in the late stage of a yellow-level martial artist, and he is still some distance away from breaking through.
Like Father Lu and Mother Lu, they also took Pei Yuan Dan and stepped into the early stage realm of yellow-level martial artists, but they did not continue to cultivate, for them, they didn't want to become any masters, they just wanted to strengthen their bodies.
Su Jingya and Lu Xiaowan are relatively diligent, and they will find some time every day to insist on practicing, and now they are about to enter the mid-level realm of yellow-level martial artists.
Among these people, in fact, the one who has made the fastest progress is not Shi Meng, but Yang Xinyu, who has a fire-based heavenly spirit root, she has now entered the third-level realm of qi training, and is about to break through to the middle stage of qi training.
Because Yang Xinyu was still young, Lu Yao did not specifically teach her various types of combat spells, but let her continue to polish her foundation in order to successfully break through to the foundation building period in the future.
......
The main food for the New Year is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the family eats something casually at noon to deal with it, anyway, there are so many fried foods, there is no need to worry about not eating.
Lu Yao didn't care about them, he could fill his stomach by eating casually, but Shi Meng couldn't, he was hungry and panicked if he didn't eat a meal.
At noon, he steamed several drawers of steamed buns, and ordered him a bowl of dumplings, so that Shi Meng could fill his stomach with fried fish and meat.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu's father took Lu Yao to the ancestral hall in the village to worship his ancestors with the food box that had been prepared long ago.
This is the ancestral shrine of the Lu family in Xiasha Village, and during the New Year's Festival, tributes will be prepared to worship the ancestors.
In previous years, Lu Yao did not celebrate the New Year in the village, only Qingming would come back to worship his ancestors, and he came in a hurry that day, and left in a hurry.
Since I have returned to the village to settle down this year, I naturally can't be perfunctory like that, and I must be very sincere, grateful to my ancestors for their blessings, and let my family's life get better and better.
Of course, this is Lu's mother's statement, and Lu Yao himself has no objection, he also feels that the tribute should be paid, and maybe he can be reborn and come back, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors.
By the time Lu Yao arrived at the ancestral hall, everyone else in the village had already arrived, and Lu Mingyi, the village elder, took the lead in presiding over the ancestor worship ceremony, and several clan elders assisted by him.
After all, those uncles are old, and this set of ancestor worship ceremonies is still quite tiring, and these rules will have to be passed on sooner or later, but they can't be broken, otherwise I'll be sorry for those ancestors.
