"I don't know if there are enough dumplings for the men!" Qian was a little worried, but he was afraid that he would lose face if it was not enough. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Beef filling, mutton filling, pork filling, cabbage, sauerkraut, one and a half pounds per person, how can it not be enough. Besides, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a big dish, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish. I let the steamed buns be hot on the stove, it's not enough, it's okay to top one. We all know that there are many people, and who can find fault with them. They are all clansmen, and they can understand each other. In his own home, this polished rice and white flour cannot be eaten openly every day. Song smiled.
"That's it. Mei counted the dumplings on the grate, "Our own women eat, there is less meat and more vegetables in the filling." Recently, there has been a lot of oil and water, and I am afraid that I will lose my appetite. Eat something light!"
Zheng Qingluan said in her heart, even if there is less meat, it is still meaty, she is not very appetizing.
Baiyi came in and whispered in Zheng Qingluan's ear, "The master is here!"
Zheng Qingluan was shocked, why did he come over at this time. He thought that Xiao Yunfeng must be avoiding people, so he kept silent and pulled the Qian family aside, "I have something to do, so I won't accompany Tuan Nian." ”
Qian Shi saw that Baiyi was lying in his daughter's ear just now and whispering, thinking that there was something for her to deal with, so he nodded and said, "This big year will not let people stop." Go ahead, the dumplings will be kept for you. ”
"Don't stay! Who can shorten my mouthful. As he spoke, he put on his coat and walked out.
Qian lifted the curtain and watched her daughter go all the way before coming back.
Zheng Qingju asked, "This called people away again." It doesn't matter so much. ”
"Who knows!" Qian frowned and said, "Don't look at your sister-in-law's dignity in the future, but the life may not be as comfortable as yours." You are the most blessed one. ”
It's not a blessing to worry about everything.
Zheng Qingluan returned to the courtyard and saw that Xiao Da and the others were guarding the courtyard, "Under the New Year, go to the front wing." That's also warm, and I'll let them bring you food for a while. The New Year should have the appearance of the New Year, so you can celebrate the New Year by yourself. ”
Xiao Yunfeng heard it in the house, and raised his voice, "Listen to your master's arrangement." There are really assassins, and you and I can't handle it. ”
Xiao Da no longer insisted, "Call us if you have something." ”
Xiao Er pulled Xiao Da, "The back of the house is the residence of the brothers, you can't get in, we're in the front yard, people who come must pass through the front yard, can you find it." Don't worry. This courtyard was remodeled by the master. No one led it, and they couldn't even touch the door inside. ”
Thinking of Zheng Qingluan's ability, Xiao Da nodded.
Zheng Qingluan entered the house, and saw Xiao Yunfeng take off his coat and read a book on the kang.
"Isn't there supposed to be a palace banquet today!" Zheng Qingluan took off his big coat, leaned over and asked, "Why are you here now!"
"My mother was reluctant to go down the mountain, saying that it was quiet on the west mountain. Xiao Yunfeng put down the book, looking a little pitiful.
The eldest princess, as a mother, does not accompany her son for the New Year, and this son is pitiful enough.
Xiao Yunfeng saw that Zheng Qingluan had sympathy in his eyes, and he smiled a little in his heart, and he continued, "The clan is all from the Song family, of course you have to accompany the emperor. After all, I want to worship my ancestors, my surname is Xiao. It was not appropriate to go. ”
Zheng Qingluan nodded, it was indeed inappropriate.
"The nobles are scared of me, and they don't know how to scold me in their hearts. Knowing that I didn't want to see them, they all took leave. Xiao Yunfeng said helplessly.
Zheng Qingluan understood, and when the ministers saw this, they were reluctant to join in the fun. In previous years, it was also a leave of absence to give the royal family a chance to reunite themselves.
But now, Xiao Yunfeng is left alone.
But this doesn't feel right! Zheng Qingluan suddenly woke up and was frightened by this person.
As long as he spoke, no one dared not go to the banquet. Unless he decrees or shows something else, these ministers will so unanimously hang him in the palace.
Xiao Yunfeng saw that Zheng Qingluan understood, so he smiled and said, "I was impatient to deal with them, so I asked people to move the palace banquet to another courtyard and sent them to accompany the emperor." He also said that he wanted to worship his ancestors, so he wouldn't go today, and Ming'er would go to his uncle to pay New Year's greetings. ”
"I said it!" Zheng Qingluan glanced at him with disgust, "Then today, let's celebrate the New Year." ”
"Just the two of us!" Xiao Yunfeng was full of interest, "Let's make dumplings by ourselves, how about it." ”
Zheng Qingluan smiled and nodded, "Done!"
Anyway, there is a small kitchen in the courtyard, and there is a small tea room in my own house. There are several stoves in the tea room, and cooking is done. She took off her coat, with a small padded jacket with yellow flowers on a red background and a magenta pomegranate skirt on her lower body. Because it was the New Year, she dressed more festively than usual, and she looked a lot softer. Now she is a big girl, and her body is naturally graceful and plump = full. Xiao Yunfeng's eyes were hot for a while.
Zheng Qingluan thought that he was looking at the clothes on his body, so he smiled and said, "This is still the tribute you sent to you." Looking at the bright color, I made two bodies, and it looked good. ”
"Okay! If you like it, Curry has to do it, pick it yourself. Xiao Yunfeng glanced at Zheng Qingluan's bulging xiongpu twice before retracting his gaze. Some of them have dry mouths, and they silently recite the secret of purifying their hearts to suppress the heat in their hearts.
Zheng Qingluan asked Baiyi to take the live noodles, "Go and bring the leeks sent from Zhuangzi again." After instructing Baiyi, he turned to Xiao Yunfeng and said, "Let's eat vegetarian dumplings." Eat meat, people who eat it are greasy. ”
Xiao Yunfeng nodded, "I remember that in the cave, the little wontons you wrapped for me were leeks and fragrant." Presumably made into dumpling filling, it is also delicious. ”
The leeks were washed and drained, and Zheng Qingluan cut them. I quarreled with eggs in the small tea room, chopped them up, and mixed them in it.
Over there, Xiao Yunfeng was already rolling the skin, and he was rolling it fast and well, no worse than the Song family. This made Zheng Qingluan quite curious.
Xiao Yunfeng said with a smile, "My life was not easy a few years ago, how can I do it without self-reliance." Besides, this rolling is simple, just look at it. I'm not good at making dumplings. ”
Zheng Qingluan said in her heart, that's right, the dumplings she made were fast and good, but they couldn't roll the skin.
The two cooperated tacitly, and it didn't take long to get it.
When one hundred and two came in to serve dumplings to cook, the two were obviously stunned. Hey, hey, that's big news! The two masters actually have this craft.
The dishes on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table, that is, Zheng Qingluan's set, braised dried eggplant, dried garlic beans, dried fried mushrooms, almond fungus, and cold skin jelly, lotus root, cucumber, and radish. A vegetarian dish of one color.
The glass jar was poured with aged wine, and the two of them touched it from time to time.
"This is the life of a man!" When Xiao Yunfeng didn't wait, he killed two bowls of dumplings first. This will be half-full, with a pair of dishes and a sip of wine.
"People are tired and panicked at the front end of the shelf, and there must be a time to rest. There's nothing wrong with relaxing properly. Zheng Qingluan pushed the radish to Xiao Yunfeng's side, "Try this, this is new in the greenhouse this year, and it tastes good." ”
"The hot spring village also produces radishes. I deliberately looked at it, and each one was as thick as a finger, not long. Naturally, the yield is also low. It was sold for a sky-high price a year ago. How's it going in the greenhouse! The yield is okay. Xiao Yunfeng asked.
Zheng Qingluan gestured, "It's about the same thickness as a teacup, less than a turn long." It can't be compared with the summer one, but it's better than the one on the hot spring village. One can almost cut a large plate of vegetables, which is okay. ”
"It's not a little stronger, it's too much stronger. Xiao Yunfeng was also interested, and said, "This little cucumber, as soon as you look at the slices, you know that it is not big." ”
Zheng Qingluan nodded, "There is still a problem with heat preservation." It's okay to eat fresh, but if you want to promote planting in a large area, I'm afraid it won't work. ”
"Take your time!" Xiao Yunfeng said, "In the end, it is so easy to go against the sky." What I have is patience. ”
Zheng Qingluan nodded and pushed the fungus over, "This is the fungus I planted, and it's all fresh." The taste is not as good as the wild, but the yield is good, the flowers are big and the meat is thick, and it belongs to the ones that can be promoted. This does not require labor, and the elderly and children at home can take care of it. ”
Xiao Yunfeng raised his eyebrows and sandwiched a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, "It's not as good as what we usually eat." However, it is impossible for the people to eat the tribute-level that we often eat. That's it, that's good. It seems that my father-in-law has really put in a lot of effort in the past two years. ”
"The people live on food!" Zheng Qingluan sighed, "If you do this well, the Zheng family will be stable." ”
Xiao Yunfeng understood Zheng Qingluan's concerns, the Zheng family was a relative after all. It's okay for two generations, after all, the relationship is close. It's hard to say after that. For the sake of long-term planning, arranging a road for the Zheng family as early as possible that does not commit taboos is really good for the Zheng family.
The two of them were talking and drifting away again. This political affair basically fills their lives, and it does not exist all the time.
"I'm not going to talk about politics today!" Xiao Yunfeng poured wine for Zheng Qingluan, "I toast you! ”
Seeing Xiao Yunfeng drink the wine in the cup, Zheng Qingluan also dried up. The two have supported each other to this day, and there is no need for superfluous words.
Xiao Daxiao Er was eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the front wing, and he didn't dare to drink, listening to the movement outside. I haven't seen anyone inside for a long time, and a few people are a little unsure.
Baiyi, "Why don't I go and take a look, the tea in the house should be cold." ”
Xiao Da gave Baiyi an appreciative look, clever enough!
Baiyi shouted 'master' twice outside, but no one answered inside. She 'chuckled' in her heart, and said in her heart, it's broken, could it be that something happened to her. In a hurry, I crashed into it.
I saw the two masters snuggling up to each other and sleeping.
Baiyi evened his breath and said in his heart, but it scared me to death. The two of them drank and could get each other drunk. He is also a man of God!
Xiao Daxiao saw Baiyi rushing in, and thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed. However, they did not dare to enter the master's inner room casually. Only asked anxiously outside, "Baiyi, what's wrong!"
Baiyi was covering the two of them with a quilt, and he didn't go out, so he replied, "I'm drunk!"
Everyone: "------"
