After lunch, my grandmother called the whole family to the East House and distributed one to each person

"New Year's money", even his mother Guo got one. The so-called

"New Year's money" is not called New Year's money, but tired of winning money or winning money. This money is not real money, but a commemorative coin.

Its front is usually some auspicious words, such as long live the thousand autumns, the world is peaceful, etc., and the back is generally auspicious patterns, such as dragons and phoenixes, turtles and snakes, stars, etc.

It cannot be used as a real coin, just as a kind of

"Auspicious and evil spirits" jewelry is worn on the body.

"Thank you, grandmother!" The crowd gets

"New Year's money", they are very happy. Especially He Ye and He Hua, who was wearing new clothes at this time, with the winning money hanging around his waist, was frolicking in the house with a smile on his face.

Guo Shi looked at all this, and also shed tears of happiness. At this time last year, due to the death of their biological father, the family was gloomy, and they were kicked out of their homes by He Hu and others before they could have a good year.

Later, when they returned to their parents' house, they were treated coldly again, and when they came to Wu's house, they heard the news of Wu Yong's death, it was like the sky had fallen.

Fortunately, Wu Yong woke up in time, and a series of things happened after that, making their lives more and more satisfying.

Now the happy life is thanks to his son. Thinking of this, Guo Shi glanced at his handsome and upright son, and asked with a smile: "Yong'er, when you were eating, how did you wrap the 'ingots dumplings' you said?" After a while, my mother will go and make dumplings for you to eat. Wu Yong didn't expect her mother to ask this question, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You need to mix the noodles, roll out the dough, and then wrap the meat or vegetable filling into it, pinch it into the shape of ingots, and boil it in boiling water." Speaking of this, Wu Yong suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had taught his mother and others to make dumplings, but it was the first time he had told them about dumplings in the shape of ingots.

Guo Shi listened to it and said with a smile: "It sounds quite easy, I don't know how to wrap it?" We still have a lot of vegetables left over this year, what filling do you want to eat? ”

"I want to eat minced meat!" As soon as she heard about eating, He Hua was the most active and scrambled to answer.

"You'll eat!" Guo Shi glared at her, and then asked Wu Yong with a smile: "Yong'er, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat?" ”

"I can do it, I'll help my mother in a while." Wu Yong said with a smile. When Guo Shi heard this, he immediately praised: "Yong'er still has filial piety!" Today we are also going to taste the taste of this ingots dumplings! With that, she said to the old lady and went out to prepare the corresponding ingredients.

He Lian looked at Cheng Zhao, and hurriedly confessed to the old lady and followed Guo. Seeing this, the old man also smiled and said to Wu Yong: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." My old man is also very curious about this ingots dumpling. So the family came to the kitchen, and after Wu Yong arrived in Luoyang, he didn't cook for a long time, and he also had some itchy hands at this time, so he showed off his operation in front of his family.

In fact, chopping the minced meat is a manual work, and the minced meat should be chopped delicately and evenly, and there should be no too large particles.

It took Wu Yong almost an hour to make two minced meat, one with leek and one with radish mincing.

Next, Wu Yong first demonstrated how to wrap ingots dumplings. After that, he rolled up the dumpling skin on the board, because he rolled the skin quickly and the skin rolled out was good, even Guo Shi couldn't compare to him.

So, the others took these dumpling skins, learned Wu Yong's wrapping method, and wrapped an appropriate amount of meat filling into the dumpling skin.

The old lady looked at the novelty, and also learned the methods of everyone, and started to move. Even He Ye and He Hua were clamoring to make dumplings by themselves, Guo glared at them, and then let them mess around.

Guo was worried that they were spoiling the food, so he advised: "You can eat the dumplings you make!" So the family worked together and soon wrapped a pot of ingots dumplings.

At this time, Wu Yong ordered Cheng Zhao to start boiling water. After a while, after the water boiled, Wu Yong began to make dumplings.

Stir the back of the spoon backwards to prevent the dumplings from sticking together. After all the dumplings in a pot are finished, Wu Yong covers the pot and waits for the water to boil.

After a few minutes, a hot air came up, Wu Yong opened the lid of the pot, and an enticing aroma filled the entire kitchen.

"Eat dumplings." Wu Yong looked at the dumplings that were put into the bowl,

"This is our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Saying that, Wu Yong first served a bowl of dumplings to her grandmother, and then brought it to her in person, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, how about you taste this ingots dumplings first?" ”

"Hmm. Delicious! The old man took it with a kind face, then picked up a dumpling, took a bite, and praised it.

Next, Wu Yong took out all the dumplings in the pot, and then instructed Cheng Zhao to continue to burn the fire. When a pot of dumplings is cooked again, Wu Yong will serve them all.

Then I picked up a dumpling, put it in my mouth, closed my eyes and chewed it carefully. He missed it so much.

Fortunately, in the lunar year of 170 AD, I can also lead the family to eat dumplings as usual on New Year's Eve.

"Mother, this ingots dumplings are so delicious, I still want to eat them!" After He Hua finished eating a bowl, her little stomach was a little bulging, but she still yelled to eat.

Guo Shi glared at her, and said angrily: "Even if you are greedy, you are not afraid to hold on." ”

"The main thing is that everyone will be hungry." Grandmother said with a smile on the side,

"This kind of trick is really not eaten before, it's interesting." Wu Yong also laughed and said: "Dip it in vinegar and eat it, it's easy to digest." Hearing Wu Yong say this, some of the people who were full of food suddenly felt that they could eat a few dumplings again.

So in a full hiccup, the Wu family ended this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. After eating enough dumplings, after Guo and He Lian finished washing the pots and bowls, the family gathered around their grandmother again and began to talk about family life.

Soon it was dark, and the old lady was a little tired after a busy day, so she asked everyone to go back and rest.

Obviously, there is no nightlife on Chinese New Year's Eve at this time. After receiving the old lady's command, the people parted and went back to their rooms.

Since the construction of the new house, everyone in the Wu family has been assigned their own bedrooms, even He Ye and He Hua have also been assigned to one room, but they are still young, and they all sleep in the same room with their mother Guo.

Wu Yong, as the only man in the family, naturally lived alone in the front yard. At this moment he went back to his room, but he could not sleep.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is only eight o'clock now, and for him who is used to going to bed late in later generations, it is a bit of a waste of time to sleep at this time.

In the future, you can also invite a few friends to find a lively place to get together. But at this time, I don't even think about it.

Everyone is ready to go to sleep, and no one is going crazy with him. However, this Chinese New Year's Eve was a little simpler than modern times, but Wu Yong ate dumplings, wrote couplets, and hung lanterns, which was enough for him.

Wu Yong sat in front of the window, looking at the moon in the sky, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking about all the experiences that have happened in the past year since he came to this world.

In late January, he traveled to this world and began to pass down various foods from later generations, so that the villagers in Fuwangli gradually developed.

After experiencing the exile incident, he was also recruited to Luoyang by Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven. Subsequently, a series of events happened in Luoyang, which brought him into contact with many celebrities and deeds in later generations.

Don't look at the prosperity on the surface now, but he knows that the Han Dynasty has decayed and degenerated, and if there is no fierce medicine to heal it, the troubled times will eventually come.

Where should he go from here? Although he thought of this, he also had more than enough heart and not enough strength. After all, he is only twelve years old now, and he can only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, there is still more than ten years of preparation time before the great turmoil of the Yellow Turban Uprising comes. He believes that even if he can't save the people of the world, he can still protect the people around him.

Wu Yong thought about these things, and didn't notice that his door was opened.

"I haven't slept yet!" But it was Cheng Zhao who came in with a basin of hot water. Wu Yong reacted and asked suspiciously, "Why is Sister here?" Cheng Zhao replied with a smile: "I boiled hot water, and I was going to wash my feet and sleep." Seeing that there was still an oil lamp on in your house, he brought it over and asked you to soak your feet too. ”

"Then thank you, sister." Wu Yong did not refuse, after all, he has lived with Cheng Zhao for so many years, that is, in the courtyard of Luoyang Houhou Mansion, Wu Yong has several maidservants to serve, and Cheng Zhao often takes care of Wu Yong's daily life in person.

After soaking his feet, Wu Yong lay down on the bed, feeling comfortable for a while. Wu Yong saw that Cheng Zhao was about to go out with water, so he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Do you want to keep vigil together?" ”

"What is a vigil?" Cheng Zhao asked with some confusion. Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, at this time, he did not have the habit of vigil, so he explained with a smile: "Vigil is also called staying up for the New Year, symbolizing that all evil plagues and epidemics are driven away, and looking forward to the auspicious new year." There is not only the feeling of regret and nostalgia for the passing years, but also the meaning of placing good hopes on the coming New Year. When Cheng Zhao heard this, he immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "In this case, you wait for me for a while, and I will pour the footwashing water." Then come and keep a vigil with you. Wu Yong nodded, and after a while, after Cheng Zhao finished disposing of the dirty water in the wooden basin, he sat in front of Wu Yong's bed and talked with Wu Yong.

The two talked for a while, and Wu Yong saw that she was shivering a little from the cold, so she smiled and said, "Sister also lie down in the bed." ”

"Okay!" Cheng Zhao did not hesitate, the two have lived in the same room since they were children, and they often lie on the same bed, and they rarely taboo such things.

Not long after Cheng Zhao lay down beside Wu Yong, there was another knock on the door in the bedroom.

"Who is it?" Wu Yong asked suspiciously.

"It's me!" He Lian's cold voice came from outside the door.

"It's Sister, come in, the door is not closed." Wu Yong greeted. He Lian pushed the door in, and when she saw Cheng Zhao and Wu Yong lying on the bed together, she was not too surprised, but asked, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”

"We're keeping vigil!" Cheng Zhao said with a smile, and then she told He Lian again about the vigil that Wu Yong explained.

After speaking, she greeted He Lian and said, "Since Sister Lian hasn't slept, then keep vigil with us!" He Lian hesitated, then nodded and responded, "Okay, then let's keep vigil together." With that, she closed the door, walked to Wu Yong's bed, and said to Cheng Zhao: "You go inside and lie down, I will lie in too, it's a little cold outside." After speaking, her face was a little hot, but fortunately, the lights were not very bright, and Cheng Zhao didn't notice anything unusual.

So Wu Yong lay down between the two women, and the three of them kept vigil together, and began to talk about their daily lives. I don't know how long it took, but the oil lamps burned out and went out automatically.

Both women were a little overwhelmed and began to yawn incessantly. After all, it was their first vigil, and they had never stayed up so late before.

"Why don't you go to sleep first?" Wu Yong held his forehead.

"No way!" The two replied in unison. Wu Yong shook his head and stopped caring about them. But in the end, the two couldn't resist the sleepiness, and fell asleep before the early hours of the morning.

Wu Yong didn't bother them, and waited until the system time was 0:00 on the first day of the first month of 171 before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Wu Yong woke up and saw He Lian holding her face in her hand and looking at him sideways. Seeing him wake up, he remembered the three of them sleeping together yesterday, and his face flushed,

"Why didn't you call us back to sleep yesterday?" Wu Yong lowered his head and smiled: "Sister, Happy New Year!" ”
