Originally, during the Chinese New Year, the officials of Weicheng Mansion planned to invite chefs to the famous restaurants to come to their homes to cook, but those famous restaurants were all old people who came out of Ningyuan Wangfu.

As a result, I sent someone to invite and learned that many of those chefs went to the Ningyuan Royal Mansion, and the rest of them were not enough, so they simply did not accept the invitation, after all, the restaurant was also busy at the end of the year, at least until the Chinese New Year's Eve, it could not be closed.

originally wanted to have a luxurious and face-saving New Year, but in the end, he didn't invite a chef, and he was disappointed and didn't dare to overwhelm people.

For more than a year, their appetite has long been fed by the delicious food in the restaurant, and the dishes made by the cooks at home can't get into their eyes, and those chefs who can feed their appetite are covered by Ningyuan Wangfu.

Although he is low-key on weekdays, he doesn't feel that the store is bullying customers, but King Ning Yuan is King Ning Yuan after all, and he has never concealed his essence of protecting his shortcomings, if anyone dares to bully his subordinates with power...... Not to mention Weicheng Mansion, but to look at the entire Dayan, comparing forces with Ningyuan Wangfu is purely looking for death.

Fortunately, I bought a lot of lo-mei from the palace workshop before, and I can have a good year to deal with, so I went to the restaurant in advance to buy some vegetables and came back, and it was not bad to heat it up when I ate it.

Just when everyone was struggling with the Chinese New Year and failed to invite a lovely chef, those restaurants launched a kind of gift box, which contained processed ingredients, as long as you go back and fry it according to the method, it can be very delicious, if the home chef is not the worst, the taste will not be inferior to the chef in the restaurant.

Each gift box contains four dishes, although the price is higher, but the ingredients inside are real, and with the restaurant to teach the method, as well as the sauce used, the cook at home can also do very well, and the people who retreat to the second can only take this gift box to deal with, and it turns out that the food made is really good.

From a few days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, such a gift box was launched in the restaurant with Ningyuan Wangfu as the backstage, although there are still a few days before the New Year can be sold out as soon as it is launched, many people are several boxes or even dozens of boxes to buy, go home and let the chef try to do it, the taste is really good, especially the sauce inside is the most authentic, want to learn to mix can not match, want to eat can only go to the restaurant to buy a gift box back.

In addition to the people who are satisfied with buying the gift box of ingredients, this year in Weicheng Mansion is also quite lively, compared to last year, Weicheng Mansion was messy everywhere, and the appearance of a hundred wastes waiting to be revived is very different.

The construction of Weicheng Mansion is also divided into batches and blocks, and now the location in the center of the city has been completed, rows of private houses are lined up, both regular and beautiful, and the sound of firecrackers has been ringing continuously since the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ling Xiaorou first took people to inspect the layout of the palace, but it was just for show, the stewards of these mansions have done a good job, there are red lanterns everywhere, and the trees with sudden light are full of all kinds of silk flowers and silk leaves, if you ignore the little snow on the wall, it is really a little springy.

A few days ago, there was just a snowfall, the yellow winter day dyed white and fresh, although the winter in Weicheng Mansion will also snow, but there is very little snow, the snow does not stay for more than three days, the road surface is muddy when the snow melts.

Fortunately, the floor of Ningyuan Wangfu is paved with bluestone, so it won't wet your shoes.

Ling Xiaorou didn't have much to say about the layout of the mansion, except for the food, she was not a person who loved to relish, not to mention that the stewards in the palace were all experienced, and they didn't have to worry about Ling Xiaorou to do the best.

After checking all the way to the kitchen, only here Ling Xiaorou stayed for a while, but only said a few more words, the chefs in the kitchen are all experienced and have their own expertise, compared to them, Ling Xiaorou seems to be miscellaneous but not refined.

Wang Ye was not easy on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and went out of the city early in the morning to see the soldiers stationed outside the city, in addition to bringing pigs and sheep to reward the three armies, he also made an exception to drink a bowl of wine. Each soldier has five taels of silver to take, although two taels per person does not seem to be much, but because of the need to guard against the enemy army in Jiangmeng, the soldiers of Weicheng Mansion originally had more than 100,000, after He Louyuan came, with the support of Li Xun, the defense of Jiangmeng was on a new level, and tens of thousands of people were transferred from the periphery, and now the garrison is more than 200,000 people, although the number of garrisons shows Li Xun's trust in He Louyuan, all the expenses on the fiefdom, including the silver for raising soldiers, must be paid by He Louyuan himself, in addition to military salaries, there are also meals and drinks on weekdays, This expense is not small, that is, He Louyuan has enough family funds, otherwise he really can't afford to raise these soldiers in the face of the Weicheng Mansion that was scraped three feet to the ground.

Fortunately, after the development of Weicheng Mansion, the tax revenue also soared, and there was some silver earned from the Jiangmeng people, but He Louyuan didn't have to pay out of his own pocket, otherwise he would have raised more than 200,000 people like this, and he would be rewarded if he had nothing to do.

The military camp outside the city is no longer like the tents that He Lou set up before he came to Weicheng Mansion in the past, although it is not gorgeous, but the absolutely sturdy barracks are built, and there is no need to lay a layer of cowhide on the ground to cope with a cold winter, and the soldiers are sincerely grateful for the improvement of their lives after King Ningyuan came to Weicheng Mansion.

In the past, who would have thought about whether the soldiers were miserable? It costs money to build a house, not to mention a house that can accommodate more than 200,000 people, even if the houses are built by the soldiers themselves, which materials can be built without silver? That's why King Ningyuan won't care about the silver to build a house for them.

Looking at the rows of houses that are scattered and implied to be built in formation, He Louyuan is still very satisfied, although it costs a lot of money to build a house, but only such a neat camp can train elite soldiers, otherwise they will nest in the cowhide tent all day long, shivering in the cold wind, and people will be damaged by the nest, and the mood of getting by will not be wholehearted when they practice.

Now looking at these soldiers who are in full swing in training, and thinking about the soldiers with empty eyes and no luster when they first came, He Louyuan is very satisfied with his decision.

Hehe, he spent a lot of silver, but no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it, others envied King Ning Yuan's subordinates were loyal elite soldiers, but no one thought about how much he had done for these soldiers, and when he didn't have enough food and clothing, whoever changed his loyalty would be discounted.

Let people pull the pigs and sheep down to slaughter, the soldiers will not be embarrassed to kill the pigs and sheep, a large pot in each camp set up, fortunately, although the barracks have been built more, but not built together, each barracks have built a special kitchen, closed doors, you can cook in your own barracks.

Having a house feels like having a home, and they don't feel like motherless children like they used to.

Moreover, after the barracks were built, it was convenient to store some things, such as radish and cabbage when they came down, they were not less, they were all placed in the dug cellar, and according to the method from the palace, they also pickled a lot of sour cabbage, although all day long in addition to stewing cabbage is stewed sauerkraut, and then there is beef radish, but on a cold day to eat this hot iron pot stew, the body is warm and comfortable.

Weicheng Mansion is not as good as Jicheng, there is no endless stream of cattle and sheep in Xiyi, the soldiers usually eat meat, the most is pork, and it is impossible to eat it openly, after all, there are many soldiers, and pork is really open to eat.

He Lou Yuan followed Ling Xiaorou's opinion, thinking about raising some pigs in the barracks in the coming year, although the soldiers still have to focus on drills, but when they are idle, so many people still can't raise pigs? At that time, according to Ling Xiaorou's idea, a large number of sugar beets and corn were planted in the open space outside the city, and the vegetables for raising pigs were solved.

Anyway, there are too many open spaces around the camp, and the place close to the camp can't let the people come to live and farm, it's still quite a waste to be idle, just use it, and it can also solve the problem of soldiers eating meat.

For He Louyuan's suggestion, the generals all agreed, these soldiers practiced every day except drills, but if they practiced again, they would practice three times in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time was idle, and gambling money was not allowed in the barracks, so they were idle when they had nothing to do, or played football.

But you don't need so many people to play football, so it's better to let the idle people raise pigs and farm, and the pigs can eat meat when they grow up, and they can eat when the land grows, which is really a good idea.

He Louyuan got the support of the generals, and then he took the soldiers to inspect everywhere, and the matter of killing pigs and sheep did not need to be personally inquired about by the prince.

Not long after, the camp sounded a scream of killing pigs, accompanied by the sound of pigs, it was the laughter of the soldiers, Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was not as practiced as usual, except for the patrol people who remained at the checkpoints, most of them stayed in the barracks. When they saw a large number of pigs and sheep being pulled by the car, they couldn't help but suck their saliva.

Although their food today can be said to be very different from before, it is fragrant when everyone eats together, and there are not many times when meat like this is open and eaten casually.

Not to mention the kind of vegetables that have become sour and sour after pickling with cabbage, it is really fragrant when stewed with meat, and then bite into a big bone and drink a big bowl of sauerkraut pork soup, which is hot and more satisfying than anything.

The mutton is also stewed in the pot, the pieces of red stewed mutton are soft and soft, a few people around a basin shake off the cheeks and eat fiercely, the stomach that eats straight up is high, that satisfaction makes them lie in bed are still aftertaste, if they can celebrate the New Year every day, how good would it be?

Originally, He Louyuan planned to share dinner with the soldiers and then return to the city, just in time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the royal mansion, although the New Year is the most popular time for people, but he must use the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family.
