"Mother, do you still make dumplings?"

Since the emperor sat down in Lao Bai's house, the wine and food have been almost drunk.

In previous years, when the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was almost the same, the Bai family would sit around making dumplings and eating dumplings to celebrate the New Year.

But this year, the emperor is here, and he will not let the emperor participate in the dumpling-making activity.

If you don't eat dumplings, you always feel that this year has passed.

Zhen thought for a while and whispered: "Naturally, I want to wrap it!" ”

The conversation between the two was very quiet, but the emperor still heard it, so he said with a smile: "I was thinking about it, they all said that people eat dumplings during the New Year, why didn't I see dumplings come up, and I thought that my cousin was stingy and refused to let me eat them." It turned out to be a current bag, a bag, and I also learned to bag. ”

The words amused everyone.

"I'll go get the stuffing." Xie Chuntao said.

"I'm going to make a face." Qiu Niang just wanted to stand up and follow Xie Chuntao to make peace, but Eugene Gui took the lead and volunteered.

The two of them walked out together.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect the emperor to be so kind, I wanted to call him cousin several times." Eugene Gui whispered to Xie Chuntao.

At this time, she couldn't wait to spread the news that the old Bai family was a relative of the imperial family, and even the emperor came to the old Bai family for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which would cause how many people to envy and stutter!

"Second brother and sister, don't be confused. Sister, a child can shout, we can't, it's the emperor after all. Xie Chuntao reminded.

The second daughter-in-law's wine was afraid of drinking too much, and she began to have the idea of kicking her nose and face, and she had to be extinguished.

"If you get annoyed, it's a sin to kill your head." Xie Chuntao said.

Eugene Gui sneered, she didn't believe it.

Isn't there the Queen Mother above, but her mother-in-law is the Queen Mother's niece.

"I'm just saying, how can I rush to call my cousin, and besides, the emperor looks about the same age as the eldest brother. By the way, sister-in-law, the emperor said that he wanted our whole family to live in the capital, what do you think? Eugene Gui inquired into Xie Chuntao's thoughts.

"What else can you think? We are used to living in the countryside, and I don't want to go to the capital. But if my mother and grandmother let me go, I'll go. Xie Chuntao said honestly.

"Sister-in-law, you're right. But have you thought about it, after going to the capital, Dalang Erlang and others have a future, not to mention studying, entering the palace as a guard or something is better than in the village. Eugene Gui said that since her family Saburo wants to be a cook, it is better to enter the palace as an imperial chef than to be a chef for red and white ceremonies in Shenshu Village.

Xie Chuntao also thought of this, and his face was a little loose.

After all, mothers always hope that their sons will have a good future.

"And our sister-in-law, she has been in Shenshu Village since then, even the township owner has been buried, you look at Feng Zhiheng, where is our sister-in-law worse than others?" Eugene Gui turned to Xiao Fuyuan.

"That's right." When it comes to her sister-in-law, Xie Chuntao's heart is full of tenderness.

Now the most important thing to talk in the family is the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law really treats the sister-in-law as a daughter-in-law, if the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law brainwash the in-laws and grandmother together, maybe the whole family will spend Chinese New Year's Eve in the capital next year.

"Sister-in-law, once upon a time, someone told our father's fortune, saying that there would be an unspeakably expensive girl in the family. Ah Zhen is the prince, maybe he will be the emperor from then on. Our sister-in-law and Ah Zhen ...... Sister-in-law, what is so expensive, didn't you think that our family would have a queen? ”

When he was about to reach the kitchen door, Eugene Gui whispered.

"To die! This can be said. ”

Xie Chuntao was frightened, she looked around, there was no movement, but she knew that maybe there was a master lying on the tree on the roof to protect the emperor.

The second brother and sister really dare to go out for anything, if these words are heard by someone with a heart, it must not be said that the old Bai family has any ulterior motives for Ah Zhen.

Regarding the rumors that the sister-in-law is unspeakably expensive, Xie Chuntao doesn't dare to think of a queen who is not a queen. For the people in the village, the fact that my sister was named the head of the township is already a blessing that the old Bai family has cultivated for several lifetimes.

It's not that she looks down on her sister, but she thinks what's so good about being a queen, she has to compete with other concubines for favor within the high walls, and she can't even see her own children.

My sister should not suffer such a sin.

"Second brother and sister, don't say this in the future, do you know the truth that trouble comes from the mouth. Especially when it comes to your sister, you can have a snack. This is in front of me, if it was heard by the grandmother and the mother, the big mouth would have been fanned long ago. Xie Chuntao said.

"Sister-in-law, what else do you want to prepare? I'll do it. Liu squatted at the door of the old Bai family's kitchen pot to roast the fire, and when he saw Xie Chuntao coming in, he got up and said.

"I don't have any food to prepare." Xie Chuntao said with a smile, "The emperor wants to make dumplings with us, and I'll take the stuffing and noodles." ”

Liu Yishou said with a smile: "I have already reconciled the noodles, and my sister-in-law can just take it away." ”

"Okay, thank you." Xie Chuntao served the stuffing and handed the noodles to Eugene Gui.

"Yes, you've been busy all night, why don't you go to Dalang's house to rest." Xie Chuntao pointed to Da Lang's room.

"No, I'm not tired. If the emperor still wants to eat, I have to wait in the kitchen. Liu Yishou continued to nest at the door of the pot.

"That's fine."

Xie Chuntao took Eugene Gui to the upper room with a basin and a filling.

Old Lady Bai and Zhen and the others had already removed the wine and food from the table.

"Xiao Yuanbao, what kind of dumplings do you like to eat?" The emperor met and put the dumpling stuffing on the table, and asked with a smile.

"I love cabbage and pork filling, leek egg filling, radish and mutton filling...... I like both. Xiao Fuyuan said with his fingers.

"What's this?" The emperor asked, pointing to the dumpling filling that was lying out in front of him.

"Back to the emperor, this is cabbage pork, this is leek eggs, this is radish and mutton......" Xie Chuntao replied with a little nervousness.

"It's quite rich." The emperor nodded.

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, life is getting better and better now, so there are more kinds of fillings for the New Year's dumplings." Mrs. Bai personally rolled the dumpling skins.

The white old lady's dumpling wrappers are thick in the middle and thin on both sides, and the hand speed is fast, and the dumpling wrappers fly out of her hands one by one.

The Bai family sat around the table and made dumplings.

"I've heard that some people's cooking and dumplings are women's business, and my cousin-in-law's dumplings are so good, and you." The emperor pointed to the white plank and the dumplings made by the brothers of the Bai family and said.

"Our Bai family is not like this, men have to be able to cook." Bai Muban said with a smile, "We can't give birth to a woman and give birth to a child, and if we don't cook and do housework, we want to go to heaven." ”

Bai Muban's words successfully amused the emperor.

At this time, the emperor thought of the queen mother in the palace.

Every Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother misses the excitement of the Zhen Mansion in the past, and the people around her are restrained, which makes the Queen Mother feel even more lonely.

If the cousin is willing to enter Beijing, a large family will talk and laugh with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will definitely like it.

Don't worry, you have to take your time!

"Brother Ah Zhen, you put too much stuffing." Xiao Fuyuan taught on the spot, "Look at me, it's like this." ”

Soon, Xiao Fuyuan held an ingot-shaped dumpling in his hand.

And Ah Zhenbao's dumplings leaked a hand of filling, and the dough couldn't be closed.

"Come on, dad try it too." The emperor took Ah Zhen's hand and carefully followed Xiao Fuyuan to learn.

"Is that so?"

"Put the stuffing in the middle."

"Close the palm of your hand...... Tighten the skin inward. ”

"Ah Zhen, look at it, isn't this all right."

Xiao Fuyuan looked at a giant ugly dumpling made by the emperor's cousin and fell into deep thought.
