There are two eight-immortal tables in the main hall of the upper room, although there is no difference between men and women like rich and noble families, and there is a screen partition in the middle, but the two tables are still slightly separated.

In Gu Erzhu's words, it is rare to have time to sit down and chat, let the children sit farther away, and we can drink more happily at the table.

The dishes include thin lamb with green onions, braised carp, steamed prawns, and fried hairtail fish pieces; Zhou Banxia fried nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour loin, sweet potato shredded.

Aunt Cai's previous stewed nourishing chicken soup, stewed dried bean pork ribs, boiled cabbage, shredded radish, peanuts, and two plates of braised meat platter.

The dishes on the two tables are almost identical, there is no difference in size, only the women and children have an extra sesame oil egg custard and a pumpkin and red date sweet soup on the table.

It can be said that it is very rich, more sumptuous than the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and even the seafood sent by Master Yun is not used for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and there are two major dishes tonight.

Looking at the two tables full of dishes, not to mention the Li family, Thursday Shun's heart is really different, and the feeling of being valued by his in-laws is honestly comfortable.

A few children were even more happy, they couldn't eat, and Liu teased them about what else they wanted to eat, but they couldn't think of anything one by one.

Li Chunsheng here, someone from the Gu family has given him a New Year's gift recently, and Li Chunsheng will definitely be pulled to the table by Gu Erzhu, which is somewhat strange.

He didn't worry that his daughter-in-law wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut, so he had to coax his four-year-old son and almost three-year-old daughter from time to time.

Don't talk about what your grandmother's family and aunt's family eat outside, if you are heard, you won't have to eat in the future, and even your grandmother will rob your big brother and sister and they will eat it all.

Fortunately, his children follow his uncle and aunt, and he is very clever, and even his daughter, who is almost three years old, knows that her old uncle and uncle still have to take the top exam, and they have no money.

Otherwise, just listening to what he ate at a meal, not to mention outsiders, his father and mother would be able to conclude that the child's aunt would be a big girl next to the old lady of a powerful family.

And it is.

The development of the food industry in Daliang has combined the dietary characteristics of the Song and Yuan dynasties to a new height, and the varieties of cuisine have become more and more diversified.

It's just that many varieties of cuisine are still only circulated in the upper class and big restaurants, and the villagers at the bottom of the society can have a delicious hot dish, and it would be good to fill their stomachs, how can they have the money and energy to get so many tricks out, and they are not powerful people.

Li Chunsheng is only a sister-in-law who comes out of a powerful family and is well-informed, and there are cooks and rich aunts who have been in rich and noble families, so the Gu family's banquet is not bad.

This is also on this basis, Zhou Banxia is not worried about causing doubts, and today he not only made lo-mei, but also made three special oil-intensive and sugar-consuming dishes.

In fact, like these three dishes, there have long been ways to make lo-mei, such as Yunkelai's signature dishes such as sauce chicken and duck, sauce beef, strictly speaking, it is also a kind of lo-mei.

It's just that nowadays great importance is attached to secret recipes, and the application of spices is still in its infancy, and many spices used in the daily life of later generations are now mostly used as medicines.

Eat and drink to your heart's content.

The lo-mei in the big iron pot has been soaked for some time, although it has not been soaked enough to absorb the flavor, but the marinated things are cut into small pieces in turn and tasted, and everyone thinks that the taste is already very good.

Gu Wenxuan's evaluation of this is not strange at all, the lo-mei made by his daughter-in-law naturally tastes very good, and it is a real secret recipe, otherwise there would be no celebration.

Since everyone said that it is not yet a watch, if it is late, the child is more likely to freeze when he falls asleep.

He simply picked out some lo-mei and put it in the food box, and then packed a persimmon cake maltose, peanuts and melon seeds, stuffed them into the carriage together, and asked Uncle Cai to send Li Chunsheng's family of four to their home first.

Li Chunsheng's house is actually not far from his house, and it is the first village that he passes through when he goes out of the village.

If it weren't for the night, it would not take two quarters of an hour for the carriage to go back and forth in broad daylight.

"What are you anxious about?" Gu Erzhu was not happy to see that his in-laws were also in a hurry to go home, and quipped, "How much silver is still hidden under the toilet, tell me quickly." ”

Thursday Shun laughed and waved his hand to signal the third aunt to just go about his own affairs and not have to accompany him, "Why don't you have to pay two pieces of silver." ”

Gu Wenxuan saw that they were hooking their shoulders and chatting again, so he went back to the stove room.

This time his daughter-in-law is here.

There are a lot of things that come out.

picked some out, and then moved out the New Year's gift for Zhou Xiucai, changed into a bookbag, and the carriage as Gu Wenxuan expected came back, and he could go to Zhou Xiucai's house.

As soon as he got into the carriage and left, Gu Erlang also sat on a mule cart, and he also brought lo-mei and a car New Year's gift to his master, Dr. Dong.

Zhou Banxia felt that the two brothers were very interesting, and if they didn't send it early or late, they had to wait for the New Year's Eve to be delivered to the door the night before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Gu Wenxuan also thought it was very interesting, if he didn't give a New Year's gift, he could open a small stove in the cram school every night, and if he delivered it, he could only go once in three days.

It was already the second watch day when he came back from Zhou Xiucai's house, and Gu Wenxuan could guess this point in time without looking at the alarm clock and mobile phone, at least it was ten o'clock.

The stove has been marinated for the second time.

"Delivered?"

Almost.

Send some to Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Gu, Patriarch Zhou, the old people of the two clans, the neighbors and a few people with good relationships.

"The last old courtyard I went to, together with the filial piety to the second elder this year, also carried it over, and our father and mother just came back not long ago. So much homework? ”

Zhou Banxia was surprised, "Ten articles in three days, and I have to practice calligraphy for an hour every morning and evening, what do you want to do with the sixth grandfather, do you intend to guide it?" ”

Gu Wenxuan wanted to ask the second elder, is it too little? Hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Those who know me, you too." If you go once in three days, you will go to the Chinese New Year's Eve twice.

He couldn't be busy before the sixth day of the first lunar month, and he was too busy to let him go. ”

That's right.

Zhou Banxia nodded in agreement, and asked if Zhou Xiucai mentioned how he did in the exam today, his papers have been corrected, and he will be given an axe tonight?

"Yes, as you might expect, he corrected my test paper first." Gu Wenxuan pointed his finger against the window bookcase, "It's all there, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so late." ”

Zhou Banxia entered the study and only took the paper sent by Gu Wenxuan, and for a while he really didn't notice that there was paper on the desk that was pressed by the paperweight.

"In addition to the papers that were reviewed, there are also two articles recently written by Gu Dalang." Speaking of this, Gu Wenxuan was happy enough.

He couldn't even find out when Zhou Xiucai found Gu Dalang's recent article, so he waited for it to be revealed tonight and let him take a look at it every now and then.

said that he originally wanted him to take a good look and see how big the gap was.

Now, it's a good reward, and the reward for him is really not something that Gu Dalang can compare.

Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan, who was a stinky fart, rather amusedly, reached out to pick up the article written by Gu Dalang on the desk, and slowly flipped through it after taking a seat.
